The Next Grand Theft Auto

On the subject of the thread, the previous GTAs all came out in early october (minus Vice City, which got delayed once or twice until the end of the month) so that's probably where they're getting their information from...

I'll be happy if the next GTA plays exactly like True Crime.

I won't.

True crime was very dissapointing. It did a lot of things and none of them very well, least of all it was boring to just drive around the city and the antithesis of GTA that way.

It does have a lot of potential and if they straighten things out for the inevitable sequel, could be a really great game.

I'm not saying it should be just like it. True Crime had a lot of flaws, but the basic gameplay was for me miles better than the GTA series. If shooting in the next GTA game is still 'point at things and wait for them to die' then I'm not going to have any interest in it.

If anything, that Miami Vice game coming out later this year will be more akin to True Crime than the next GTA (would be like True Crime.)

For all the controversy (which, granted, was the driving force for its sales) GTA was a milestone in modern gaming history. It redefined open-ended play, level of immersion, and replayability.

Don't get me wrong, I like Ikaruga as much as the next guy, but it is far from the end all be all of gaming.

It's nice to see that you're not one of those people then.

At the moment I'm more interesteed in Driver 3 but hopefully this one will sport a kickass soundtrack like VC to lure me in.

Ya know, I've never cared about this series even with all hype surrounding it, but part of me wants to see what all the fucking noise is about. However, in order to do that, Rockstar is going to have to scrap that POS graphics engine they've got because the game contiues to look like a steaming pile of shit. If a game's visuals hurt to look at then it affects my ability to enjoy the gameplay.

Moreover, if these games are as bug-ridden and glitcth prone as I've heard they are, then that's something else that needs to get fixed. Unfinished code was the reason I sold my beloved KOTOR.

I don't mind a new GTA, so long as they bring Chatterbox back. VCPR just didn't cut it in comparison.

well if its the las vegas one it could make it out by then. keep the same pos engine, change location, have 50cent and eminem talk into the mic, have done around a years time. easy.

I dunno, I think the talk radio is actually one of the only things that Vice City does better than GTA3.

Didn't that chick interview a viking or some shit?
