Grand Theft Auto IV - How good will it be? There are 20 replies
Original Message posted by Xplosiv on 25/07/2006 at 11:21:03PM
The Grand Theft Auto series have gotten better and better. I thought that nothing could top San Andreas. I also said this about GTA 3 and Vice City. But I mean it this time. I have heard rumours of where it will be set and the choices are London(again), Manchester, New Mexico or the whole of the U.K (wow). But don't know about weapons or vechiles in the game. Hopefully they will keep the classics like 'cheetah' and 'bobcat'. They may be a completely new vechile class like submarine or cruise ship.

I think it's just an external body, and is supposed to look "cute and snuggly next to it's 'mommy' 360."

Well that sucks.

He means storage space on the disk. Its an excellent point too. Any milti-format game is only going to be as big as the XBox version unless the developers want to make two completely different versions each time.

I dont understand how the HD-DVD drive will work on the 360. Are you supposed to swap your drive or will you have to get a new console or just do without it?

Edit:- Apparently it is for movie playback only.

Apparently, although the PS3 has a lot more power, it won't actually make a great deal of difference.

That's what someone on here said anyway...

My opinion here is probably completly wrong, so correct if so.

Wouldn't making GTA IV multi-format reduce its overal capacity for the PS3 due to the fact that the 360 only uses DVD discs? Or will they make it so it uses the HD-DVD drive that's coming out soon?

P.S. Can you even play games on the HD-DVD drive of the 360?

There was a 3rd party addon made for GTA3 and I think VC that allowed online play. It was really crap, but what do you expect.
If it had worked properly then perhaps it would have been fun. It was hard to tell.

Also a thing i would like to mention is that GTA IV could be online. This good be a good and a bad thing. Interacting and making gangs would be fun. But being shot or blown up or ran over or poisoned every two seconds may not be.

I think its fair to say that the San Andreas dissenters are in the minority, so I doubt you can expect anything but more of the same from GTA 4.

However I hope they steal some ideas from The Godfather game.  Although the execution was poor, it had some nice ideas about gang warfare, control of buildings and extortion rackets etc..

Aye. The highspeed traffic in San Andreas was laughable. It just didn't work, and the randomly spawning police made the game about 100% less fun to play.

You know, the more I think about it, the less fun San Andreas seems to be.

I hope they fill in the holes created by everything spawning randomly.

I mean, I don't know how much processing power it would take or anything to have everything existing in a bigger range around the player, but it was so annoying when police literally just spawn behind you when you turn to face a different direction. And the pile ups on the motorways were stupid... In fact, the motorways were stupid full stop. You'd look behind you for half a second and then a truck spawns infront of you, and so you crash right into and fly off your bike.

Some combat was a bit crap too... the indoor stuff in SA was really lame. And the stealth stuff was even worse.

See, I liked the first two best. Top-down, micromachines-esque view, pick-up and play gameplay, but with plenty of depth and loads to do and find.

The 3D ones have never felt quite 'right' to me. I've got GTA:LCS on the PSP, and it's alright. Good at times, but frustrating. The combat is just annoying at times, and I've never felt the handling of the vehicles is quite right...

Yeah, there's loads to do and see, but there are times when you can just get stuck trying to progress through the main game, and random violence does get dull after a while...


I think it'd be quite easy for GTA4 to top 3 and its myriad of offshoots. Just needs to have more of everything, improve the combat, and leave less 'dead-ends' in the game (ie. times when you're stuck with only one choice of mission to do, because if you can't seem to do that mission, you're pretty stuck...)

San Andreas won't be hard to top at all with a machine such as the Xbox 360.

SA is a cracking game, but it's badly flawed in places as well. I'm just hoping for all of the little niggles to be ironed out for the next one so we're left with a smooth game.

I'd rather sacrifice some size than have them create a giant U.K. sized map and have the rest of the game suck.
