Even though nothing is known about GTA4 you just know it's going to rock!! I wonder whats going to be new....I always thought it would be cool to put all the freerunning Parkour abilities into GTA.

Parkour would be awesome!

If anyone is wondering what it is, watch the opening scene in Casino Royale.

The 'african american'(?) dude is doing it on the construction site while running from Mr Bond :o

The Warriors game had a great system for jumping over fences and such. It was very fluid - I wish they would adapt it into GTA..

I know it will be released for both but I still believe the PS3 version will have more features than the 360, I don't think the PS3 version will be toned down to match the 360 standards, I think if anything the 360 version will come with multiple discs.

LOL toned down for the 360...I am not even gonna begin to explain the thousands of things wrong with that statement. :rolleyes:

1 thing i know is that we defo need some long american roads... somewhere we can open up those sports cars and bikes! and i bet theres dogs in it this time, and i hope you can get one to attack people... :D

There's actually plenty of road in GTA:SA for the sports cars and motorcycles. And for people saying not to set it in the UK because they don't want to drive backwards...people in the UK playing these games have to deal with that. People act like that's a US only thing.

It's actually very fun to drive on the side you see as backwards to see how fast you can go and how long you can go without hitting any car coming at you. It's also a good way to build up your characters driving abilities if you manage to drive that way for long amounts of time at high speed wihtout hitting anything. I was getting to the point where I could easily ride a motorcycle or car around like that for 30 minutes at a time. Haven't played it in a while so I doubt I could do that again.

i know there is plenty of road but i want more :D, just to be able to drive a motorbike along a very long road for some time, and take like little road trips in the game, would be great.

They both will have DLC exclusive to each console.

No, only the 360 ...and please prove me wrong

http://www.gamespot.com/news/show_blog_ent...pic_id=25067735

While GTAIV's planned debut on the 360 was news enough, Moore went one further. He announced that "Microsoft and Rockstar have entered into an exclusive deal to provide episodic content via Xbox Live Marketplace" for GTAIV. At X06, Microsoft detailed the exclusive content as "two epic episodes of GTAIV via Xbox Live, each with hours of new gameplay available only on Xbox 360 just months after [GTAIV's] release."

:::apparently I didn't completely read the whole link i posted...it proves me wrong right there. I hope the rumor isn't true...I don't want exclusive stuff to each console

Now, a report has surfaced that may make the 360 GTAIV episodes not appear to be as much of a coup as they seemed. Citing a source close to GTA developer Rockstar North, Eurogamer reports that the PS3 edition of GTAIV will be getting its own episodic content in "the form of brand new areas which will link into the main GTAIV game world." According to the source, one should "think of the [GTA IV]world as a large island--the new downloadable areas will be like smaller islands linking into it."

LOL. Have you seen the comparisons of the two consoles? They're pretty much the same in terms of graphics, and I really really really doubt it'll come on multiple DVD's.

We are talking bout space not graphical quality here. If Rockstar filled the blu ray up then in order to have it on the 360 it wud need to be toned down to fit, not graphical quality. Get a grip fanboys.

What PC game takes more than one dual layer dvd? PC games run at over 1080p resolutions, and they have yet to be on multiple dvd-'s/blu-ray/hd-dvd. You should look up "padding to reduce load times" to understand why ps3 games require more space.

I don't live under a rock. Ten to one, I know more about compression than you do. I only edit audio/video for a living :p

Since when are PC games a factor? We are talking console. If Rockstar took full advantage of bly ray, maybe even dual layer, 50 GB, if they wanted to fit it on a 10GBDVD it requires compression, now what if it was already compressed to fit on 50GB, it wud need to be compressed even more then wouldn't it? I'm saying it wud be stupid of Rockstar to limit the games size on the PS3 just so its the same as the 360. You may no more about compression, but not as much about business, I do that for a living :p

Nonetheless lets stop this arguing, I dun really want to get into it anymore than I already have. Back to the topic.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
