Gta type of game, youtube some gameplay vids.

It's gta iv, but a worse story, less realistic ( say vice city type realism) but with much more to do and more more ''freeroam features'' like much more advanced tuning cars & bikes gta ever had, better police submissions, humor like streakers on the streets when doing cop missions, etc...

I hoped this could have been available today so I'd have something to do till gta IV arrives, guess not, pc users again shafted against 360 users.

Its basically gta sa 2 imo.

It has co-op as well which was really missed from gta sa.

psychas · 14 Oct 2008 at 13:56

is multiplayer much better then gta 4 multiplayer ?

pretty gutted - a supermarket had it on for £15 for the ps3 last night
i went to order today and its gone back to £40

may just get the cheaper pc version once the release hype has died down

besides i have 5 games i havent opened yet

crysis warhead dropped on my doormat this morning
and farcry 2 is coming in a week or so

busy times - a great time for pc gaming imo

Nope? It's not an Exclusive.

Saints Row 2 looks infinately better than GTA IV, looks like it has something that was sorely missing from R*'s release... Fun.

Oh, indeed, I fail at reading lol...

No it was supposed to come out for pc, 360 and ps3 at the same time.

Now the 360 users have been playing a leaked version for a few weeks now.
The ps3 users can play it now.
And the pc users have to wait :mad:

Hedge · 14 Oct 2008 at 15:27

Ah right. thanks for keeping me right guys

assumed because of the first one, that it was a microsoft deal or something.

nice to see its multiformat then

Wait for the reviews as the gfx look really poor on PC (or they are not showing PC in screenshots). What I have seen so far are really low res textures & low polygon counts looks like a PS2 game to me!!

Releasing this 07/11/08 2 weeks before GTAIV is also a stupid decision as I wonder which one will sell more copies.....
