Hardcore Gamer: We couldn't help wondering why people would be so excited about a direct sequel, especially since the fake press release alleged that CJ would be the main playable character.
It looks like a team of developers have made use of the RAGE engine, creating a full GTA San Andreas map for GTA IV. You'll now be able to traverse the town you've already rampaged through, without leaving the comforts of the latest main game in the series.
Today the "GTA IV: San Andrews Mod Team" announced we can expect a public beta, containing the ENTIRE San Andreas map, to be released in August.
I'm glad they chose San Andreas to MOD into a better looking game. San Andreas is my favorite GTA, can't wait for this MOD!
YourEMGN: "We recently brought you a mod that gives GTA IV a graphical overhaul. Now, a team of developers have created a FULL GTA San Andreas map that will run on the RAGE engine. Meaning, you can now take a trip down memory lane on your copy of GTA IV."
This might just be the best Mod in the entire history of modding. The scale of the project is just HUGE and they've pulled it off perfectly. Can't wait for this one!
Bitmob Writes: It's no secret that the Grand Theft Auto series has spawned countless psychotic serial killers and several rather unpleasant rapists ever since Grand Theft Auto 3 hit the PlayStation 2. This is backed up by dozens of studies done by guys in lab coats who couldn't get laid even if their disco sticks ejaculated fine wine and water from the fountain of youth. That means these studies are made of science, and science is never, ever wrong!
I agree. Sometimes games can be fun, and that's enough. Not all games have to aspire to fine art.
I would never want Rockstar to waste time on a sequel. They should always be spending time on creating classic characters and hardware-pushing game worlds.
I Think the next GTA will take place in Vice City.
I liked VC way more the SA. I remember buying it and playing it for a few hours and then just being bored with it. Vice city felt more alive and funner. Maybe I just didn't care for the story, it was the same with GTA4 I hated the story and characters.
A bit thick all those 'why' articles
"We couldn't help wondering why people would be so excited about a direct sequel"
Because SA was the only good one.
