no matter what people say(because their favored system is not getting aahh the "full experience"), GTA series is still the king of all action sandbox games incl ones that are coming next year. Neither Crackdown nor Getaway or other sandbox games I have seen come close to it. I bet the numbers will prove it again. And episodic content is just that, nothing less nothing more. Even without it, the game is as far away as possible from being gimped.

"Ah, Mr Bellic!" Greets the navy-suited Goldberg as we're ushered through his office door, and sat down in front of his ivory desk. "Your CV is very impressive..." he continues, but Niko isn't here to chat. Niko stands up from his chair. "Good, I like a strong character." Niko pulls out his gun. "Whoa, put it away - lawyers don't kill people, videogames do!" A fine queue to Mr. Thompson

I really cant wait to see this. going to be a great game on whatever Console.

Rowland6156d ago

because of the exclusive downloadable content - PS3 won't have this...

peksi6156d ago

You just had to say it did you? Why can't you idiots just discuss about the games and stop this boring, stupid, classless arguing.

We all know that 360 will have exclusive content and that's a helluva good thing for 360 owners! So shut up and go on.

PoopsMagee6156d ago

I'm totally stunned at the new features that are being announced. I'm sure the final game will be even cleaner and more incredible. Rockstar isn't known to disappoint, although I am surprised they aren't adding any incentive to purchase it for the PS3.

ShiftyLookingCow6156d ago

People bought Oblivion PS3 even though it doesn't have Shivering Isles sure that exp is coming to PS3 later on but wasn't Oblivion without Shivering Isles still worth its price?

THC CELL6156d ago

people may not that the ps3 ver has not been show en yet. they have more to play with on the ps3 and no limit.

Keep that in mind.

I am getting both.

kevin11226155d ago

only thing tho, the first episode comes out in march, and the second comes out a year after gta 4 is released. People will have moved onto different games by the time the extra content comes out, so i dont think its a big deal.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

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."

ChasterMies37d ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken37d ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing6938d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker38d ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo38d ago (Edited 38d ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6938d ago (Edited 38d ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos38d ago (Edited 38d ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt37d ago

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.

just_looken37d ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.
