It seems I must of been lucky at the tender age of around 10 Or 11 my dad just bought me GTA 1 without batting an eyelid Used to love having 'rampages' with friends seeing who could kill and destory the most before we got busted or killed

You could do so many more things in GTA SA than you could in IV, shameful really.

Need to be mindful of marketing BS with this though, I remeber them saying the map in IV was so vast it could take a hour to drive from one side of the city to the other, the concept blew my mind until I saw the in-game clock gains about an hour every 90 seconds.

It seriously could take an hour to drive the whole way if you kept to the traffic laws.

In a GTA game?

Hopefully this will bring back some of the fun that was in GTA: SA and the Saints Row games. Although I'm not expecting it to be as mental as Saints Row 3.

So, there was supposed to be a new trailer this week apparently but because of Sandy they have no power in one of their offices so they can't release it.

Well its being developed by Rockstar North, which is in Edinburgh. So, I doubt Sandy has affected them.

ETA: Sorry, just seen it on the site.

This is the one GAME are using to advertise the pre-order.



And this is a random one I found, possibly confirming dogs in game, like it also showed in the first trailer?

So where to pre-order for the best (lowest) possible price??

GAME are something like £6 more than Amazon, but much more reliable. I have done both anyway just to make sure.

IMO that art work doesn't quite look like the same style as all their older stuff!

It's got a slightly more airbrush painting effect to it or something.

Notice the woman getting arrested is wearing a love fist shirt. Wasn't that the Scottish metal band from vice city?

It was due to be released today, but Sandy has put paid to that, I think it will be out this month though.

[TomN94]

It will be within the next 3 days though, as an American magazine called Game Informer have exclusive details on it, but that comes out on the 8th, R* will want to be ahead of them on that.

Ah right cheers guys

Pre-ordered at my local Tesco - no way I'm going to leave it in the hands of Postman Pat judging on his performance with my LoveFilm deliveries.

Only slight fly in the ointment, I'm getting married in April - if I sneak my PS3 on the Honeymoon I'll be divorced before I get home.
