Or you can get the XBox 360 version?

(Also there is a games forum these days)

Once you wanted revolution, now you're the institution, how's it feel to be the man?

Clearly you didn't realize console gaming was going to get much better than the first year of the next-gen showed. Like it always does.

I hope all the missions aren't just "Kill everyone at X location" like the previous games.

GTA was fun at first, but San Andreas just used the same tired gameplay in a much larger area. It looked like a port of a PS1 game or something.

My roomie loves the series, but I can't f**kin stand it.

My decision was more of a time thing than a "they're no good" thing. But for GTA 4...man that looks good.

Will GTA 4 be launching on the 360 and the PS3 at the same time?

I had already been planning on grabbing a 360 for Halo 4 and if GTA 4 hits at the same time, all the better.

Politics are pissed off once again (also free marketing for Rockstar):

Political leaders, politicians and policemen have already downloaded the GTA IV trailer, watched it numerous times, and gone ape at the fact that the fictional city resembles New York.

"Setting Grand Theft Auto in the safest big city in America would be like setting Halo in Disneyland," said City Councilman Peter Vallone, chairman of the council's public safety committee.
Can't wait to buy this game for Xbox360.

You should have a look at Crackdown for 360. It is pretty much exactly like GTA but more fun because you have superhuman powers.

I was on my dad's G3 when I made my first post, but after actually seeing the trailer I must say...I'm impressed.

It seems like they finally put some effort into the graphics engine. if the gameplay gets the same shot in the arm I might just have to buy this.

Honestly, I'm not sure what they could do. The system seems to be down to tweaks and small additions. What would revolutionize it for you?

It's mainly because I played GTA3 and Vice City to death. San Andreas had zero improvements over Vice City IMO besides slightly better graphics.

I enjoyed the game quite a bit in the old days, but I got so f**kin sick of it that I eventually wanted to tear my eyes out instead of playing any GTA game.

The sheer size of San Andreas, as well as it not being set in the 80s made it a huge improvement for me. The flying seemed deeper.

Graphically the game looks great. I hope they do something with the actual game to make it more enjoyable. I got bored of them quickly.

@ Lateralus, I read somewhere that both the PS3 and 360 version were coming out at the same time.

The flying was handled way better, I'll give you that.

Overall, however, the game felt exactly the same as Vice City especially in the horrid fighting/shooting/aiming controls.

I hope IV addresses the third person perspective better in the way of not having to auto-aim behind yourself to shoot enemies.

I definitely run into problems with the aiming, but everyone seems to hate way more than I do and I can't figure out why.

Maybe because my favorite weapon is any car.

Driving around is my favorite part of all the games, so I guess my only huge gripe they could change is the aiming system.

Even when watching my roomate play (who got damn nasty at the game) he would still flip out at the aiming (or lack thereof).

It's not my style of game really, I enjoy it, but I doubt (as you said) they are going to change anything major enough to make me love it.

I'll still rent it though since the graphics finally look up to par.

Okay, I am not religious but right now I am praying to the great lord, controller of hte universe, that THIS grand theft auto is multiplayer, over the internet. GOD THAT WOULD BE FUN. Obviously there'd have to be limits on cash, lives, and the number of real players in any given world, but even a two player co-op GTA would be f*cking sweet as all hell. 4 player would be even better. Imagine every week, getting on your computer/PS3 and driving around with your friends from all over hte country, complete with phone like conversations, driving around, shooting things, going off jumps, exploring, doing missions, etc. It would be ****ing AMAZING. My rational side says that they should not release multiplayer GTA until I graduate. BUT I WANT IT NOW!

Yeah, but ultimately, it was still just a single player game..... I felt very alone in it.... it's this massive world, with all this stuff to do, but you have to do it by yourself. Totally lame.

It comes out for the 360 and the PS3 at the exact same time. Both versions are supposed to have completely different bonus features, which are still completely unknown.

...and there is already a thread or two about this. Why does there have to be another one?
