GTA IV is, from one perspective, in danger of taking itself too seriously. But the corollary is the outrageously exciting prospect of anyone taking the construction of a videogame world this seriously at all, let alone a developer as gifted and influential as Rockstar North. Even just breathing in the scant PR fumes Rockstar is allowing to escape at present – a hint here, a suggestion there – is intoxicating. The subtle, humane ambition of the plot only adds to the bold, superhuman ambition of creating a virtual city this lifelike, with this much scope for complexity. Even if the unthinkable happens and the game itself falls short, the signs are that the new Liberty City will be an unforgettable creation, and a worthy tribute to the spectacle, diversity and dynamism of its inspiration.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
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.
Wow, Next-Gen is getting into big reviews.
this game will be in the top 3 for game of the year. it will be that good. can you imagine grand theft auto with realistics people behaviors and great graphics? awesome!
"gta iv is in danger of taking itself too seriously."
lool.. seriously, it isn't. xD
you can read too much BS on the internet these days..
Thats what this game is going to be. MAD GOOD. After Vice City I had kind of lost interest in GTA. Not because it got boring, quite the contrary, there was just too much for me to do. I was starting to feel like a came home, and turned on the PS2 to my second life. lol. So I definately did not want to try San Andreas where you could do almost twice as much!
But this game has really peaked my interest again. One Online Magazine stated that Rockstar was demoing it, and one of the citizens did something that caught them off guard, and was like, I've never seen that before! Now thats crazy.
nuff said.
