People will go crazy after checking the E3 GTA IV footage. That trailer is probabling designed to creat buzz so more casual internet user find out about the game and its release date and platforms. Hope it plays as good as it looks, I really want to try a more realistic sandbox.

Check the "top 10 games I'm waiting for thread," and you'll see that GTA was barely listed by anyone. Almost everyone's list was populated with games that were exclusive for their console of choice: Wii fans picked Mario Galaxy/Smash Brothers, 360 Fans picked Halo/Mass Effect/Bioshock, PS3 fans picked Uncharted/MGS4/FF13. I totally agree that this site has more Nintendo fans, but in this case, the game is getting less attention because it's multi platform, and everyone (including the PS3 fans) isn't generous enough to give mult-plat games much credit on a sales site.


Mostly Nintendo peope here so it's not surprising that GTA didn't make their lists.

Everywhere else this and Halo 3 are the biggest games of the year, except here.



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

It looks like they're really taking advantage of the new tech on this one to change GTA from a fun dick around game to an immersive cinematic experience. You can tell the direction they're going in with the main character. The first game was a blank slate guy, the second was a cheesy 70's caricature(or was that 80's?) and the third was a homie guy. Neither of which was much more than just a silly vessel for your prostitute beating action. This time we're getting a deep character with lots of emotional investment in his story. It should be a much more involving experience and should keep up the trend of GTA selling a crap load of games. 


The multi plat nature should'nt hurt either!



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

I can't wait, this will be awesome! I love the details, like the red car being shot.
Now the wait is for the trailer in 720p.

It should arrive on Gametrailers.com in less than 40 minutes... I think this guy is the coolest of all GTA characters so far... Looks bad to the bone.


I agree the main character seems very cool :)  I can't wait for this game :)

Absolutely. This is the most important addition of this gen. Graphics improved a lot but totally mature cinematic experience is something previous gen lacks. GTA4, Lair, Heavenly Swords etc. This is a true next gen. I'm excited.

Fukc me silly, thats unbelievable.

I will be standing out side the store waiting for this game.
I've never done that for a game before, but I think I will for this one.

 


Me neither, but I'll probably be right there with you... Who wants to bet on some midnight release parties for this one? Wouldn't doubt it...

Of people planning on getting this game, who's planning on getting the ltd edition in the safety deposit box for $89(usd)?



If the special edition pack is at the store the second the game comes out i will buy it, but if the they don't have it, i'll just buy the normal version. This is the best series ever. Everyone who has a PS3 or a 360 will need to get this game.

Yeah, there's not a lot of excitement for any game it seems...

There's daily SSBB updates...I'm surprised the entire site doesn't go to that thread. Instead it's just like 5 people.

I think people here just like to argue about sales...

Not JUST sales, we like to argue about games, systems, even religion and politics occaisonally ;)

Do remember that most people know that these games are a ways off, and as for PS3 we're just barely getting out of a severe drought, with a couple releases here and there. Hopefully everyone starts getting more revved up entering the fall with a good release schedule on it's way.....

anyways, wooohoo, I'm excited..... just verrrrry tired, I played RS: Vegas until about 7am and I had to be at work at noon.... "snoring"

They're a simultaneous release, might run out though. The way i understand it, it's ACTUALLY a "limited" edition, whereas most limited editions there are 2-3 million made, I don't think there will be anywhere near this many for either console.... maybe combined though.



very VERY impressive. that city is so damn detailed

If it wasnt for MGS4, the PS3 is unnecessary
