Grand Theft Auto IV

[H5N]

ooo, nice :D

Yup, you can find it right here! :D

[batbeef]

im going to hype this

[Digitalx]

it will be good to see what type it is.

its either

X) very detailed and about same size as GTA 3/VC/SA with alot more interaction with environment and graphical detail.

Y) Fairly good detail with quite good hardware pushing but with massive huge f**k sized world to explore.

I can understand it would be good if they used full size of blu-ray on ps3 to expand this ability but i understand being cross platform they have to take 360's 9GB into account so i guess we will just have to see. :)

[acies]

actually, wouldn't it be

GTA III - 70's

GTA VC - 80's

GTA SA - 90's

GTA IV - 00's Present Days?

no you got it all wrong, GTA1 was set in LibertyCity ViceCity and SanAndreas, GTA2 was set in the future.

and GTAIII was set in the 90's

Free running? Oh man, that'd be awesome, couldn't imagine it in a GTA game but would be awesome nonetheless.

heeey, freerunning was my idea!!

They would never, even if it was exclusive to PS3, go over 9GB.

I get the feeling the whole game won't be on just one dvd, the story will continue via LIVE downloaded content.

Episodic content has already been confirmed for both the 360 and PS3. Good thing those new 120GB Hard Drives are coming out.

I also wonder how they are going to squeeze a high definition version of GTA onto a DVD, I'm sure the last game was around 4 gigs, having it on a single DVD will either make the game look bad, or make it smaller than it should be, but with downloadable content to make it bigger.

Im pretty sure Free-running is called Parkour :p

GTA IV Trailer Not Quick Teaser

14:47 PST | Jordan | X

According to a publisher from Rockstar Games, the big trailer for Grand Theft Auto IV that will be released on Thursday will not be "some infuriatingly quick teaser." I, personally, think that it will be surprising just how much we might get to see of the game.

Thanks to our partner site The GTA Network as well as GamesRadar for the news!

I don't understand? Surely Oblivion would still be a far more vast game than this will be and they managed to get it onto one disc - and it looks amazing. I think you guys underestimate good compression.

Well, if we look at history

It is not like game sizes have gotten smaller and smaller :D

True, but compression keeps getting better and better, making the increasing size a null point. Also, that isn't at all a good answer for my particular question.

Compression is getting better and better, yes.

But not enough to keep the sizes at the rate they are now.

As proven by the so many games on the 360 that require more than one disc :rolleyes:

[gogosama]

the thing is with gta not many people would be that offended if the graphics where not vastly improved the graphics engine from the past 3 games has been sufficient what has been improved it the whole gameplay aspect and each element added has improved the game dramatically

if they didnt upgrade the graphics but made bigger maps and crazy new features like fluid movements( free running style) then i would be really happy because its never been about the graphics for me and i imagine many more people

Instead of looking at one generation - look at all of them

Games are getting BIGGER AND BIGGER

Past - floppy discs for games

Present - DVDs and Blu-rays for games

LOL, it was my idea to have it in the game. I hope rockstars pay me for my idea... :rolleyes:

They only use Blu-ray because it is used for the PS3. PC games won't go Blu-ray for a Looong time, that is if it catches on. And it will be a while before a games actually use over 9Gb of a DVD disk.

I guarantee you it will fit on one DVD disc, and that's not because it's multi-platform.

I already have mine reserved before they get sold out!

Yes, and this generation, which is what GTAIV is coming out for, is doing perfectly fantastic with DVD9's.

[soniqstylz]

Why would you assume that Oblivion would be much more vast than this game will be?

If they confine it to one city, I could see that, but really, is the Oblivion map that much larger than the San Andreas map? I think it's smaller, but I never really checked...

[Slimy]

24 hours until the trailer's available. Sweet!

[MGS4-SS]

Just one more day.

[Huleboeren]

Just one more day.

Less than a day :p

Just because it says it will be released march 29/07 doesnt mean it will hit the servers at midnight...
