Grand Theft Auto IV -- It might feature crime and prostitutes.

Did Blizzard close down it's servers or something? This new and unfeeling DP scares me.

not that I have a 360 right now : /

someone was shot at that pub on the corner a few weeks ago. real life gta

take two / rockstar have done an immense job of marshalling the hype for this game… it has been a exercise in precision control: with info only being leaked out slowly… apart from the world map being leaked to kotaku (?), they've done really well

do we even know what the hud looks like?

Among the songs listed for the latin music station, according to wikipedia: Aqua - "Barbie Girl."

Excellent. Great song. I say this without a hint of sarcasm, I genuinely like that song. It is miles better than Salsa. I realise that I now look like a fool. So it goes...

will that play on your setup?

the 'leaked' videos are either removed immediately or complete bollocks lol

I saw a couple today, low quality but undoubtedly footage of the game

has dampened my enthusiasm slightly tbh

just worked http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/206871.html

I've seen a couple. The only thing that was a little disappointing was how bouncy the driving bits looked (still).

it just rminded me fr all the innovation it is still a gta game and I've never partic liked gta games lol

I decided not to watch that because for whatever reason I really enjoy the process of starting a game for the first time.

Yeah - I clicked on a link that was to the opening credits and watched about ten seconds before deciding, wait - I want to see that for the first time when I'm actually playing the game. However, the gametrailers clip I linked to above doesn't really spoil anything - it's just a minute or so of a gun fight / car chase (not any different really from anything in the earlier games - though it looked good - especially the shooting!). I also watched a longer clip (removed) of Niko walking around a bit and stealing a car - didn't feel like those really spoiled anything - just gave me a little more solid idea of what to expect.

But yeah - it's time to stop watching videos and start crossing my fingers for the call from "that special someone."

you know tyra banks?

joeks

jeff, you have a connec' who is going to hook you up early?

...hawt.

Who is that, Ashlee Simpson? Miley Cyrus?

nothing on Gametrailers works on my pc, what does it require?

Ste - I'm not sure. Try dailymotion - it's flash (I think) and seems to have the most stuff...

that would be jessica chobot. she's a writer or something for ign.

Dailymotion search engine doesn't seem to work for me either, I'd need to go through google to get them (but they're not indexed there yet)

then again, i don't care. i can wait a week for official glimpses of game footage for lawds sake.

I wonder if Game Buzz will have a midnight opening (then again I am too old for that shit)

omgwtf? According to my xbox, meltang is playing this NOW!

And I'm not. :((((((

Sorry guys.

oh god you are gonna get XBLBanned :(

how is it?!

Oh THAT's the chick. the stripper gamer chick.

this one, in other words:

haha melton you tease

am I going to be able to walk into a shop, in England, and buy this on Tuesday? The Internet seems to have sold out

i pre-ordered it on amazon, i can wait until it's available. Besides, i still don't have a telly yet.

but to answer your question, most probly not.

although there could be a chance that one of the smaller shop types will have a few copies around?

I am counting on you, Some Dude On E-Bay

I am almost irrationally excited about this game : /

http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/games/archives/2008/04/23/gta_iv_okay_here_we_go.html

Melton, you're crazy. UR GONNA GET BANNED

lol truth bomb

see, naughty xbox owners. You don't see ps3 users up to this sort of shenanigans.

That Guardian article is great!

stripper game chick?

lots of teevee ads in the UK for the 360 version, have seen no teevee presence for the PS3.

i am totally getting this game, and my girl is hell of excited about it too. stevietonychick is my gamertag, for when we are all up and at 'em (some time next week, i'm guessing).

The big "pre-orders sold out!" thing is something that seems to happen with every new GTA. And yet come street date there are always HUNDREDS of copies around, I've never had trouble picking one up on day one (although to be fair I do work in games retail innit).

If nothing else, there are plenty of places who aren't even taking preorders. Are Tesco/Sainsburys/Asda etc doing them? Because they'll all have buckets of stock.
