Shaddup!

This is isn't rubbish.

Besides, we'll just draw a line on release day. Like this:


With so many lines, you'll only confuse em Bert. Think of the dyslexics and small minded folk. And the dwarves too, everyone always forgets the dwarves!

So much rubbish, so little time to read it all.
We need a new thread.
Amen.

How many days left Bert?
And in preparation for the launch, have you taken the personality test at www.love-meet.net yet?

"Just" Bob??
I shed tears of injury in the wake of your passing!

Im not a total barsteward, for those that didnt click, the dating personality test mentioned was of course GTA, found it whilst snoofing around for new rockstar vids.

Your tears mean nothing to me, what's with the name change then?

Yeah, did the dating test a while back whilst snooping their site, turns out I am a douchebag.

Next (and final) official GTA:IV video is released on the 27th March, so only just over a week to wait for that.

Old name was rather ZZZ - and I got the douchebag verdict as well. And yeah, another week for the final video update.

The vids so far have been rather tame. Could this be an intentional toning down of a game which, by the sounds of it, should be everything that san an was, and more - With the next last minute video release to be the blow your socks off action packed dynamite trailer we'd expect from GTA?

I wonder whether IV will live up to San An as far as the ratings go. A 9.6 gamespot score would be hard to top.

I've been quite pleased with the vids so far, but I think this last one will be better than all the previous ones, probably featuring more in the way of gameplay and really giving you a taste of what to expect.

I think you're right about them toning it down a bit, but the whole game is that bit darker and more mature, think they've been trying to demonstrate that, the characters don't need to be so outrageous as they can animate a lot more of their personality through their facial expressions, as opposed to the very rigid figures we've had before.

They also seem keen to keep a lot of it under wraps and let people find out for themselves, magazines have been told to keep quiet about a lot of stuff and Rockstar have been fairly tight lipped to the press, little things like the comedy clubs in the game have been kept very hush-hush in order for it to be that much more of a surprise when you first walk into one.

The latest Edge magazine has a great article on all the previous GTA games, a big interview with Sam Houser who thought them up and their latest impressions on IV.

It was the burger that did it for me, it is the finest burger known to man though.

Indeed it is, I might have to attempt to recreate it in my home for personal consumption one day. *Goes to save the photo to his hard drive*

That makes sense, very well put, a good summary in these troubled times when all seems shrouded in mystery.

Nice find. Although it could have been posted on the other proper official thread which is already 3 pages long!
