Ok well the graphics are definitely no where near what I was hoping for but they are still well beyond last time. I was also a bit disheartened by the frame rate but I think it is important to remember just how far out we are still. Its going to be at least another 3-4 months before the game is released so there is a lot that can be done in that time frame.
With that said, it seems like in true GTA style the story is going to be top notch and if they have added a cover system it will be that much better. I actually think GTA IV is one of the things that could of hurt Wii this year by putting a lot of sales behind the PS3 and the 360. But with its delay the Wii is going to be much stronger and developers much more invested in it before it hits and as a result it likely will have no long term impact on the Wii. In short GTA IV was the type of game that could have tipped the balance for the console war if it had released in October....the Feb-Apr '08 time frame though...not so much.
This is likely the game that can finally get me to buy a second console but I am not sure if it is going to be as it releases or not. It really is one of my favorite series but even that isn't going to get me to ignore the BC issues of the PS3 and I have pretty much decided that a 360 makes no sense due to its huge overlap with PC games.
