GTA IV - April 29th release - OFFICIAL

IS october actually officialy said by rockstar, or jsut a internet rumor?

Internet rumour (99.9%). (Unless Rockstar have suddenly become stupid and want people to hold on for a version of a game that is currently billed as a console exclusive).

Estimated for October, I did consider for a few seconds possibly buying a PS3 (or XBox360) just for GTA4 but will just wait the 6 months or so. It's a long while after original release but it may be worth it for the usual extra mods that will come out.

Get a 360, mass effect, halo 3, rez hd, pgr4, forza 2...... The list goes on and on.

Where are people pre-ordering from??
 
I drank cider through my GCSE's ^_^. Infact i was sick 15 minutes before my history exam. That was mainly because we were spinning each other on roundabouts. (I would never drink before a exam :P) Still came out with a A. Infact GCSE's were a total joke. IIRC my maths teacher said i only need like 50% in my final maths exam to get A. A Levels was a big jump up from GCSE's though. Actually had to revise for those :P

I mostly played Red Alert 2 (Man i still can't believe that game is 8 years old :O) during my revision sessions then alt tabbing when the parents were close :P
 
Not a chance of a demo being available before the release date. Rockstar don't give anything away with GTA games. The first gameplay you'll see is when the first reviews start coming out.

I'd imagine there will more teaser trailers as the Rockstar hype machine spins up.
 
Viral marketing begins :)

Anyone taking a stroll in the Brooklyn area in the US had best be on the look out for criminals, as posters dotted around the area highlight just who to look for. Of course Rockstar and Take Two are having a little joke, but the posters that kick start their viral portion of marketing are damn convincing and highly amusing.

Like posters pretty cool :)
 
Meh probably be a rental for me, dunno about anyone else but ever since this series went 3d the novelty wears off in about 20 minutes. :(
 
I can see his point, there was something definately satisfying about running someone over then hammering the brakes to leave red lines behind you!

Without the 3d Environment, GTA now wouldn't exist, that's without question. There's only so much you can do with a 2d environment without it becoming the same as the previous game. With 3d, you have many more possiblities
 
Woot, just got this in my email at work:

I am not afraid to admit that I am extremely excited. As a bonus, my GF hates the fact I go on about GTA4 so much, she has said she is going to stay at her parents on these days, RESULT!!!

lol, i think i might have to book the day off :cool: pre orderd it today in town, as i have some store credit left :)

Nice.

I think I will pre-order mine online in the hope I get it the day before. Not sure how possible this will be with the fact it is released on a Tuesday this year, but we shall see.

I'll probably reserve it in town as well and head to the midnight launch in case it doesn't come on the Monday.

Damn, and i dont have a 360 or ps3 lol

Any chance the ps3 will drop in price before April :o

How much are you looking to spend, there are some great deals around for the PS3 at the moment. No idea if it will drop any further anytime before April though.

If you don't have either and can't afford a PS3, get an Xbox360?
You'll have the same game on launch, but also have $50,000,000 of exclusive additions to it in the future which is exclusive to the Xbox360.
