Rockstar sticks GTA IV in New York's face

PS3 News | Grand Theft Auto IV

Like it or loath it (if you're a city official), GTA IV is coming this October and it's probably going to the biggest game of the year. The advertising campaign is up and running in New York, and not long after NY city officials cried outrage at the game's setting. It wasn't long ago that city councilman Peter Vallone, chairman of the council's public safety committee came out with this classic quote that will go down in gaming history: "Setting Grand Theft Auto in the safest big city in ... » Read More

New York appalled with GTA IV setting

PS3 News | Grand Theft Auto IV

Political leaders, politicians and policemen have already downloaded the GTA IV trailer, watched it numerous times and gone apeshit at the fact that the fictional city resembles New York. You can see the trailer here. While the city does resemble New York, it's actually the old GTA haunt Liberty City, which, as we all know, is heavily based on NYC. You can read more about the similarities between the cities based on the trailer here. "Setting Grand Theft Auto in the safest big city in ... » Read More

PS3 - Grand Theft Auto IV - NYC Politicos Get Panties in a Twist Over GTA IV Trailer

The latest version of an ultraviolent video game will unleash its murderous mayhem on the streets of New York.

And outraged political leaders say the rampant brutality of the game, Grand Theft Auto IV, has little in common with reality.

"Setting Grand Theft Auto in the safest big city in America would be like setting Halo in Disneyland," said City Councilman Peter Vallone, chairman of the Council's Public Safety Committee.

Internet devours GTA IV trailer

PS3 News | Grand Theft Auto IV

The first official trailer for Grand Theft Auto IV was seemingly the only thing anyone could talk about yesterday. It answered a few burning questions that fans had about the next chapter of the watershed car-crime series, but it opened the floodgates on thousands more. Is the setting New York or a redesigned version of Liberty City? Will human trafficking be part of gameplay? Will we be able to go into all those cool buildings, or are they just for show? Sadly, there's only so much we can ... » Read More

Rockstar - "The money turned them into jackasses"

PS3 News | Grand Theft Auto IV

Technology magazine Wired has posted an article that recounts the controversial story of GTA and its makers, charting the various moral criticisms, lawsuits and scandals that have surrounded Rockstar's iconic game since its inception in the '90s. Titled "The Road to Ruin: How Grand Theft Auto Hit the Skids," author David Kushner's piece certainly makes for interesting reading - you might want to skip the bits about audit committees, hedge funds and stock options, though - and offers some ... » Read More

9 GTA IV trailer rumors debunked

PS3 News | Grand Theft Auto IV

Rumor #1 The character in the trailer might not be the character you play as. What we think: While this would buck the trend of trailers for Vice City and San Andreas, the Eastern European character certainly doesn't look like the natural choice to star in the game. In fairness, we only see him for a matter of seconds but he lacks the on-screen charisma of CJ and Tommy Vercetti. Furthermore, as far as we can tell, he doesn't fit into any of the existing GTA story arcs - the closest match ... » Read More

PS3 - Grand Theft Auto IV - Rockstar quiet on GTA details

Rockstar's lips were tightly sealed this morning, following last night's debut trailer for Grand Theft Auto IV.

When eurogamer.net asked it about rumours that the PS3 version would contain more content than its Xbox 360 counterpart, the publisher informed us it couldn't say anything at all about the title, declining to reveal any further information than was presented in last night's footage.

"I honestly cannot answer any questions at all," a spokesperson for Rockstar told Eurogamer.

GTA IV is most realistic ever... fact

PS3 News | Grand Theft Auto IV

Friday 30 March 2007 While Los Santos, San Fierro, Las Venturas, Vice City and the original Liberty City were decent approximations of iconic American cities, the debut GTA IV video hints at an incredible level of realism for the PS3 and Xbox 360 iteration - not just in terms of the buildings but also their geographical positioning and sense of scale. New York will still be referred to as fictional Liberty City but it seems feasible from close examination of the trailer that an aerial view of ... » Read More

GTAIV: Things Will Be Different

PS3 News | Grand Theft Auto IV

After months of anticipation, the first official Grand Theft Auto IV trailer has finally gone live.

The trailer reveals beautifully rendered time-lapse shots of Manhattan, Coney Island and Brooklyn, all filled with familiar landmarks. The Statue of Liberty, Wall Street, Times Square, the Flatiron Building and Grand ... » Read More

GTA IV: The final countdown...

PS3 News from N4G | Grand Theft Auto IV

PS3 - Grand Theft Auto IV - GTA IV: The final countdown...

Penetrating the detail net thrown over Rockstar's next-gen debut has been tougher than a granite bicep on a disgruntled Russian bear wrestler. But as of 10.00pm GMT tonight, the shroud is lifted and the first trailer of GTA IV airs online. What will we see? Speculation is rife, but with the marketing bandwagon a game of this magnitude will no doubt roll out, October will soon arrive for those charged with promoting this franchise once again...

And that will suit the eager fans of the series just fine!

However, this may also signify that the first glimpse of GTA IV is set to be more revealing than your usual teaser release. Previous titles under the GTA moniker have also followed a similar path, so hopefully you won't find yourself at 5 past 10 asking "Is that it?"

But what do you think? Will you see in-game action? Where will it be set? When will it be set?

Developers predict what will be in GTA4

PS3 News from N4G | Grand Theft Auto IV

PS3 - Grand Theft Auto IV - Developers predict what will be in GTA4

It seems like ages since the last Grand Theft Auto was released, but finally we're just a few short days away from the unveiling of the "fourth" in the series. Sure, Vice City and San Andreas were GTA games, and great ones at that, but not since 2001 has a new entry bore a number in its title. For this latest to be called Grand Theft Auto 4, obviously, the game must be a completely new take on the series... right? Rather than speculate ourselves, 1UP decided to give a handful of developers a forum to share their opinions on what we might see from GTA4, and more precisely, what they'd like to see from the first next-gen 'Auto.
