Gta4...

Isn't going to feature any aircraft for fear of people recreating 9/11 scenes.

Bullshit.

I know if i was gonna perform some terrorist attack I'd want to practise it 3 or 4 times on my playstation before hand.

Apparently a lot of it is based on New York.

Pissed the mayor off for some reason...

Yeah its an exact copy, they just changed the names haha

Mayor Michael Bloomberg's worst fears might come true because the new Liberty City is directly modeled on 4 out of 5 of New York's burroughs. Besides, Brooklyn is now called Broker, MetLife Building is GetaLife Building, and yes - the Statue of Liberty is named Statue of Happiness. On the whole, the city appears smaller but more jam-packed than San Andreas...

And, the main protagonist is a guy from Eastern Europe called 'Niko Bellic,' who arrives in the US after his cousin Roman brainwashes him, tells him of amassed wealth, cars, girlfriends, et al. Alas, Niko's been taken for a ride too long for him to digest...

And yes, GTA IV will have some sort of MULTIPLAYER component, although it won't be massively multiplayer as was rumored.

Besides, the new RAGE engine is expected to offer more fluid character animation. Ditto for non player characters. Set in present times, the game boasts a fitting soundtrack. Also, unlike San Andreas, no load times are required for characters to enter/exit buildings.

The flip side though, is there are no planes or choppers for fear of enacting a 9/11 sort of scene. The good news is that motorcycles abound.

I heard there was no planes because it's all based in one city. You hardly need a plane to fly from brooklyn to manhattan.

Pity, I loved flying the helicopters in San Andreas.

Though if it's more compact that's better, because it used to take fucking ages to drive around SA.

thats gash the harrier jump jet in san andreas was awesome pure carnage

I'm a total sucker for GTA got everyone thats out GTA3, Vice city, San Andreas, Lib City Stories & Vice City Stories got top be my to fav game along with pro evo of course

GTA I and II and the London add-on were crap.

The original was class, then GTA 3 was mint too but it hasnt really moved on from there imo, vice city and san adreas were average

think your talking out your cacky tash there like they were mint

I agree with shit kicker
the last mission on vice city, i felt like tony montana.

San Andreas was nowhere near as good as Vice City.

Has there been no pictures or anything released?

SAN AN

They were the days driving through Red County on bike while hearing ALL MY X's LIVE IN TEXAS.........

Re: SAN AN

hahahah that tune rocks!!!!

cant wait for this!
I still have vice city stories to play on, still in the wrapper

Re: Gta4...

The previews I've read have just said 'planes' are not included, no mention of helicopters not being in it..

Absolutely right.

I mean, GTA (in the early days anyway) has always been pretty controversial, this seems like pointless pandering bollocks.

I'll still be getting it though
