This is cool. Gives me hope for Less Than Jake's "Last One Out of Liberty City" being on the soundtrack. The song is 10 years old though, so I doubt it. I really wish it was though. It's so perfect. I mean, it starts off with the line "Last one out of Liberty City, burn it to the ground!"

I don't even think it's a reference to GTA, as the song is 10 years old and GTA had just been released in 1998 (slim chance I suppose).

Well, the Gang Starr track is old too - they just dropped the lines in there for the hell of it.:D

Don't get my hopes up. I really really want Last One Out of Liberty City to be in this game.

i'm not sure how to tell you guys this, but half the people i've talked to think this game doesn't look that great


EVEN STRANGER is that i've heard a few dudes say it looks like the other gta games. how can people have such a skewed perspective of this game?
i don't even know where to begin in explaining things....

Wow, that Times Review is the only (text) review I've read all the way through. It on point.
However, isn't the game published by Take Two?

Published by Rockstar Games, Grand Theft Auto IV is

My brother didn't think Uncharted looked good at all. Same with GT: Prologue. He thought Bioshock looked the tits though. For the record he's not a big gamer.

To each there own I suppose.

I'm going to try to go at 11:15, hopefully it won't be too hard to find a parking spot (which is my main concern).

They probably just forgot how bad the old GTA games look since they've been spoiled by all the new HD games since then. Either that or they're just like the people who 'can't tell the difference' between DVD and HDDVD.

why no gamespot review today?

The only answers likely / possible have to do with cheques clearing and so on. If they told you, they'd have to pay you etc... It's undoubtedly coming, it's undoubtedly a high score, and if you think long and hard or briefly and superficially about it - it doesn't actually matter except as potentially diverting reading material.

I bet the traffic cop would LOVE it if you were honest about your reason for driving so fast.

Oh I'll show him the game.

But in reality I don't really speed (more than 5 over, at least when I'm not on the interstate). But I will have to fight the urge tomorrow night.

But at this time (12:20pm) tomorrow night I should be playing my most anticipated game in history. Wa-the-fuck-HOO.

Haha, someone said it perfectly in the Head-to-Head thread.

"Where's the Gamespot review?"
"Well the banks are closed on the weekends, so we should see it on Monday."

Here's a question. How many pedestrians do you think is the max on screen in GTA4? I haven't seen a screen or video showcasing lots of peds, but I'd like to see an extremely crowded subway station, or times square be truly packed with people. Maybe like over 50 peds at a time would be nice.

The most I've seen at once is 10-15 or so. I don't think this engine is built for Dead Rising-style crowds.

A few more notes from the remainder of my playing this evening. I don't consider any of this a spoiler because I'm not giving away plot points, but if you're trying to be completely blindsided by a game, then skip the rest of this post (and why are you in this thread to begin with?):

- Got my internet access set up in the game, and holy shit are there a lot of parody sites. You can't do much with any of them, but...lots of fun stuff to read, if you're into that sort of thing.
- BenjaminBirdie, I did make it to the Steinway Beer Garden. It's not quite as mammoth as the Astoria Beer Garden, but it made me smile.
- I've now also played darts and pool, in addition to the bowling earlier. Pool is pretty unforgiving physics wise; darts is pretty easy.
- At the beginning of the game, they tell you that you can't go into Algonquin - a word to the wise: don't try. Getting near the barricade on the bridges gives you an instant unshakeable six-star wanted level. I found this out the hard way.
- The gunplay? So much better than the previous games. The cover system and the targeting feel good.
- I did find one pigeon; it had a little red light around it, much like dropped weapons do. They explode in a nice puff of feathers.
- Despite all the warnings against doing so, I did drive drunk in the game. I drove a whopping 200 feet to a diner so I could sober up.
- I wish the toll bridges had an EZ-Pass lane.
- There's a nice little tutorial for how multiplayer works. I haven't played an MP game yet but I ran through this. So many games tend to skip actually telling you how to play MP.

:lol EZ - pass, lots of traffic I guess?

Also nice on the tutorial.
