The news is gonna have a field day... A game advocating drunk driving. I can see Mr Thompson's press release right now...

Heinrich4 · 22-Jan-2008, 18:40

Any news about extra content for x360?

(its amazing MS pay US$50 millions for this,unless they created a "liberty city" and "vice city" exclusively for them)

AlStrong · 22-Jan-2008, 18:44

Does the $50M include marketing deals?

(wow 150 guys working for this game!)

Keep in mind, the 50 million is an advance, meaning it has to be paid back.

Oh boy. They just like asking for trouble

The last few GTA's have been banned in Australia too. I don't think the drink-driving thing will go over too well here, since the government spends a lot of money trying to convince people it's a bad thing. So it goes.

What's the matter with simulating an experience that may deter someone from doing it in real life?

The IGN preview is also good, and quite detailed. The game seems to be shaping up very well.

It sounds like the PS3 version isn't ready to be shown yet.

Rockstar said that the PS3 was a contributor to the delay, but they feel that the two versions are equal now.

Quote:

"GTA" games haven't missed their announced release dates before. When the delay was announced in August, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick told investors that "the reason it is being delayed is almost strictly technological problems — not problems, but challenges." Barrera offered a little more detail to MTV News this week: "It's really no surprise to anybody that the PS3 was definitely a contributing factor to that. Now, we're neck and neck. That's not an issue anymore. But back then that was something we were taking into account. That's not to say there's anything wrong with the PS3 version. It's awesome. They're both identical."

DJ12 · 24-Jan-2008, 20:19

Oh no, he said they're both identical which is PR speak for they aren't

What is the PR speak for "they are"?

Anyway, I'm very skeptical of this comment as well, the last trailer on PSN was like 15 pfs.

DJ12 · 24-Jan-2008, 21:46

They haven't need one for when they really are identical yet so I wouldn't know.

Not mentioning it!

I never got into the last game but I hope to get into this one. If it has better firing controlls.

If indeed they are "equal" then why did Rockstar only show the 360 version this week?

Skrying · 24-Jan-2008, 23:03

Not sure I like them cutting customization completely. I kind of liked making CJ a bit tougher, or fatter, or at least a new outfit or such. Otherwise I'm really looking forward to GTA IV. I like the approach they're taking and making it a bit more serious. I really hope the game world is truly engrossing and gives us lots of options. I would love a much more active city. Meaning people seem to have a place they're going to, etc instead of model36 on street C.

You know, was discussing this with blokes, and that was the common disappointment. The lack of customization was a sticking point. But, with that said, it was pretty much the only negative consensus point.

It would be nice if the cities were as active as Assassins Creed and the vertical ability as in Crackdown.

scooby_dooby · 24-Jan-2008, 23:39

Personally I thought the customization was a weak attempt at adding replay value, it never did much for me at all.

This new idea of taking friends out, and doing different activities sounds like much more fun.

It certainly wouldn't have made me play again, but stop in the gym or fast food place a few more times than normal in order to get buff/fat? Sure did. Just a neat aspect to the game, not a major negative of course. But I'll miss some of the outfits.

I did too. But in retrospect, all that time I spent working out, and jogging etc was really really boring, and I'm glad they're replacing it with something that looks more enjoyable.

Different outfits would be cool though, it's pretty much the norm for GTA style games right now, and was pretty fun in Saint's Row. Hopefully they do do some of that...

because thats how it usually works... they usually only show one version as its easier for them.

Arwin · 25-Jan-2008, 07:30

In the IGN article they claim to get a hands on within a couple of weeks, and will then get to see the PS3version.
