Just curious... is there a more happening place for GTA discussion?

I was expecting to see a lot more rampant speculation.

I don't know about anyone else, but I was spending the day with VCS freshly
hooked up to my new TV set. Best way to kill time waiting on the trailer
this afternoon ;-)

Ditto. But I also don't really care about GTA4 since the odds of me being
able to play it any time in the next 5-10 years are very, very low.

Other than the limited amount of talking at the end, the clip looked like
it could have been for the next SimCity. It was a bit generic compared to
past trailers in the GTA series.

OTOH, the city hardly looks generic. It's quite the dead ringer for Fun
City. Although, i hope it sprawls out more like San Andreas. Variety and
space made for a lot more replay value than GTA3 or SA.

The clip was undoubtedly GTA though. Some of the name changes to companies
in the video made that evident. Alas, i'm goat-f.cked as a PC gamer, and
have about 16 months to wait for an oportunity to play. Sigh....

I'm looking forward to this. As one who grew up in Nu Yawk, I'm hard
pressed to think of a single feature in GTAIII's Liberty City that was
reminiscent of the city in any way. It was very much a Hill Street
Blues-like generic big Eastern/Northeastern US city. Both Vice City
and (especially) San Andreas resembled Miami and Los Angeles/San
Francisco/Las Vegas much, much more.

I also loved riding a bike or motorcycle through the wilds of rural
San Andreas. I'd be surprised if we don't see some combination of
in-game counterparts to eastern Long Island/the Hamptons, the Hudson
Valley, and the Pine Barrens (as well as the Jersey chemical plants,
the LIE, and the South Bronx).

But not a word about True Crime: New York. Maybe that game was just too
mediocre...
