Look, GTA3 was ground breaking when it came out. First huge, sandbox game, cars, violence, story, etc.
The challenge for GTA4 is to add new gameplay to the same formula. Im sure the more intense and realistic graphics will suck people in - but it does stand a chance of "just being the same game". It all comes down to what Rockstar are aiming for with this.
I Personally think that the real ground breaking GTA was Grand Theft Auto (aka GTA 1) which actually was the first sandbox game with cars, violence story etc....
I was obsessed with GTA 1 when it came out on the PC (Yeah right, GTA was originally not a PSX game, although alot of people believe that today). It was a revolution, a total new way of playing games. The only real change that GTA 3 brought us was 3d. (although I admit that this was a major change)
Since then I'm only getting more and more bored by any new GTA. I don't think GTA IV will bring us any major change in gameplay. It will just look alot better which is fine for playing the game 5-10 hours but after that...
I mean it's always the same scheme: Get Quest, Kill X, Steal car Y, obtain Object Z...
Honestly, I would really love it when Rockstar would bring us some real improvements, but I doubt it.
