Vice city was my favourite for era and setting, mix that with san andreas gameplay and you have my perfect GTA. Just hope the new one is just as good as SA because GTA 4 was pants.

Another big fan here, after buying every version of GTA, from the lowlights of v2 to the highlights of VC and GTA IV, an anxiously awaiting the arrival of 5! The book about the history behind the development of GTA is worth a read for all hardcore fans. It kept me engrossed for a couple of days on the last holidays, it's a good peek behind the scenes. Although after building up the hype around the trouble Rockstar were in after the Hot Coffee incident, I felt the description of the resolution fell a little flat.

GTA4 on PS3 is my fav all time game, after a crap day at work there is nothing like coming home going online into free mode and going on the rampage.

My fav thing is to get a heli wait for other users to be running across the runway and approach them with the blades tipped at an angle and wack......lmao watch them fly off into the sky! However daft this sounds it really does make me laugh out loud.

It is the only game that I would play when the lady would be away on business trips where any worry about her or what she was up to would completely disappear. That for me makes all the GTA's the best games I have ever played. She is off again next week on business so going to have to get something sorted lol

Did anyone else try their hardest to get on the closed areas of the map just so you could have the mother of all chases

And of course everyone knows about GTA and GTA2 on Rockstar Classics, but worth mentioning anyway!

I used to try and get police vehicles, I actually managed to get one of the black police undercover cars that come after you when you have 5/6 stars.

Pfft... I've acquired several army flatbeds from the pursuing soldiers.

My brother and I used to have a good game on GTA. He would fly the helicopter, I would ride a superbike. My mission is to get from the bike shop on the 3rd island to the helipads at the airport on the first island, his was to chop me up with the blades before I got there.

I still replay GTA IV and its DLC episodes regularly with my lady-friend who loves the "New York" (Liberty City) setting.

Can't wait to see more of V - a shame it isn't being shown at E3!

A favourite multiplayer game that I play with friends in GTA IV free mode, is to get loads of people into a bus - shooting from the windows and dropping grenades - and see how long we can last before the cops kill us!

How do you know it is not being shown? I looked at the schedule for E3 yesterday, and there are still 4 or 5 "secret games" to be shown today and tomorrow

Rockstar have never attended E3 themselves and it wasn't shown at any of the "big three" company's press events. You could be right though. Time will tell!

Rockstar don't have to, provided that tit Peter Moore has enough skin left to slap another decal on. hehe



(from the GTA:IV 360 announcement at E3 '06) There's still hope for new details!
