GTA HQ, 11 January 2008:
The UK Playstation site has the PEGI rating information posted already. The New York based, ESRB rating is still pending on GTA IV. Check out the screenshot below.
As we have all been graced by the release of Grand Theft Auto 6's trailer, we're ranking the best and worst GTA trailers to date.
We be getting these posts All week now lads. Someone noticed a number plate ... Someone noticed a billboard... I can see it now
Just go on YouTube and watch one of the many videos dissecting the whole 1minite 30secs worth.
This site supposed to be for news.
These updates on N4G are going to ruin whats rest of this site. Unfortunate since I was one of the first members.. The site shows unsecure when i login as well.
Grand Theft Auto 4 is an important game for Rockstar, not least because it was the first title in the franchise to use the newly created RAGE engine.
There’s never a bad time to relive its magic, and with rumours of a potential Grand Theft Auto IV remaster making the rounds, why wouldn’t you?
Not really
Overrated
Boring
Liberty City despite being a reimagined version for the HD era lacked any variety
Lacked the GTA fun charm overall
Niko was bland compared to past protagonists like Tommy, CJ or Victor
Like hell it is. San Andreas was far better, much more fun and a better game overall.
Nah, it's a masterpiece in attention to detail and the amount of immersive systems at play. But it really isn't very fun, ESPECIALLY when compared to the previous games in the series. Like tons of things are just wonky and actively kneecap lots of experimentation, or is just lame. Like why do I take huge damage when falling into water, why can I only stand in very specific large trucks when they are moving but not smaller trucks and vehicles, why is the melee combat such a massive down grade from GTA SA and GTA IV, why is the euphoria nowhere near as reactive, why is being drunk using a rasterized animation of staggering rather than the far more entertaining euphoria GTAIV and RDR used when you were drunk, why do npc vehicles barely react to you popping there tires even at high speed, etc etc.
I've always loved playing around in GTA games world. Like the campaigns are great but the majority of my time was always spent just playing in the open world. Yet GTAV is the only game in the series I never really returned to after beating it, it just lacks that fun factor the others have, I spent more time in GTA SA remastered than GTAV
It's one of my least favourite GTA games. It's clunky, the ai is exploitable, it's far too long and the writing is absolutely awful.
This game must be fairly close to being finished (already rated by Australia). By the way things are going, it just seems GTAIV is going to show up on retailers shelves on a random day.
I hope it doesn't get Adults Only by the ESRB in the US/Canada. That means stores like Wal-Mart won't stock it and the game probably won't sell as well. Oh well, I guess we can't control what rating it gets though something tells me this could be a repeat of the Manhunt 2 issue.
Like every GTA before it.
Very good news
Actually the game is still only rated in Australia to my knowledge. The BBFC will rate Grand Theft Auto IV here in the United Kingdom and as it stands at the moment there is no classification of the game at the moment. Grand Theft Auto IV will get an "18" certificate guarated it's what all the other previous titles were and rated "18" is the highest rating a game can receive in Britain, "18" basically is A.O. (Adults Only) rating like in America. The bottom line here is TakeTwo submit their games (including Grand Theft Auto IV) through the BBFC rating board not PEGI. Also check the PEGI website there is NO rating for Grand Theft Auto IV on there, so the article is quite misleading.
I do expect the BBFC,ESRB and other rating organizations worldwide to submit their rating for the game in the coming weeks, more specifically February.
