To be launched on October 16, 2007. Rockstar has finally announced the inevitable Grand Theft Auto 4 for the 360 and Playstation 3, but depressingly not the Wii. Release is Oct. 16, 2007, in North America and Oct. 19, 2007, in Europe. It's coming out on the XBoxfirst this time around.

I'm still playing GTA2, GTA3 and True Crime NYC. I'll probably get GTA4 in about three years.

Wow. So for the big announcement they've come up with a unique name like Grand Theft Auto IV and used the Grand Theft Auto III font. No city. No pics. Just white text on a black background. And a release date that's 17 months out. Truly earth-shattering.

At least Bungie had a Halo 3 clip. It was probably some rendered crap they had laying around that they plugged a shiny Masterchief into. But at least they tried.

HOLY JESUS

**** YES

It's probably not exclusive, by the way. Lots of reports are saying it's coming out on the 360 and PS3 simultaneously. This is semi-corroborated by the presence of both logos on the GTA4 site, and this is a very good thing for everyone except Sony.

Besides, R* is just so damn reliable. I trust them more than I trust... someone really trustworthy. They may have more money than Scrooge McDuck, but they still keep it real, nahmean?

So I guess you'll be first in line for their Ping Pong game?

Great graphics (supposedly even better looking than Fight Night R3), easy to pick up and start playing, hard to master... sounds like fun, to me.

I think I'm going to hold out for their Uno game on the PS3.

All kidding aside, I like Rockstar too. I just think their announcement of GTA4 was a little weak. Was there anyone who thought they would abandon their best series and not move it to the next gen consoles? I guess Xbox owners were happy to hear they'd be playing it at the same time as their PS3 playing buddies, but other than that, non-news really.

That was the news, that it would launch simultaniously for PS3 and 360. For Microsoft, it's huge news.

Speaking of Microsoft, "Gears of War" is looking all kinds of bad-ass.

As much as I loved the previous GTAs, I can't get all that excited about this. It's really becoming more of the same old thing. I burned out on GTA SA pretty fast.

They're going to have to reinvent the wheel for this to interest me.

Whatever happened to Saint's Row? Wasn't that supposed to be some sort of "GTA killer" or something?

Im with you on that...GTA III, I was totally immersed...muddled through Vice City, but got really tired of some of the 'timed' missions where if you miss one small turn you had to start all over and then SA just killed me with the overwhelming size of the map and the game itself--I just got sick and tired of mission after mission after mission.

Im not even sure I'd mess with '4' at this point...or maybe Im just getting old. GAH!

Nope, you're not old, the gameplay is. You've done it. I've never been a GTA fan because it seemed, to me anyway, once the novelty of it wore off (about a week) there just wasn't much there. Swearing and boobs don't impress me. I've got Quentin Tarantino and porn for those, vids are about the game.

Gamespot reports:

"While the publisher reaffirmed that the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of GTAIV will launch simultaneously between February and April, Take-Two did say that the Xbox 360 version of the game will receive downloadable content into its fiscal year 2009."

GTAIV will be here soon!

Saints Row was a big reason I dumped the 360 and got a PS3. I figured if they couldn't get the rendering done right on a next gen console, it wasn't worth my time or money. Quality over quantity I say.

Just so I can appease the 360 fanboys. Madden 08 for 360 had an edge over PS3 in frames per second. I understand they're pretty close. I just think PS3 is a higher quality product. I don't expect to have problems with my PS3 like everyone did the 360. Saints Row was an example of a rushed game on a rushed console. JMO.

saint's row was nearly a launch title. thats where the ps3 is right now. what sold me on the 360 was gears of war. i'm looking forward to GTA4, its my favorite game franchise, and can't wait to see it on the next gen console.

just so i can appease the sony diehards, the ps3 has the potential to be great, as long as game developers create the games.

Saints Row was released almost a year after the 360 launch. I don't think that's a good excuse for the garbage that was Saints Row. I understand that it was a developer issue. If you put a 360 next to a PS3, it's not hard to see where the quality is at. The PS3 is a fuggin machine. There won't be console problems with it. Once people buy the system, they'll make the games. It's much more affordable now.

To bad the ps3 has no quality games. Software is what matters.

They have the game that's in your avatar. There's also COD4, Madden, Heavenly Sword, etc. I don't get to play games for hours a day. I don't even get to play hours a week at times. It suits my needs just fine. I understand where you're coming from though. Without a doubt, 360 has PS3 blown away in titles. Quality titles included.

I don't hate the 360. I owned one. I just prefer Sony for a number of reasons.

But you can get all but Heavenly sword on the 360, plus halo3 (not a big fan of it though). And the game thats winning crazy awards Bioshock.

I eventually want to get a ps3, but not for gaming, for Blue Ray. The only game in the near future that i would get for the ps3 would be Killzone 2. The rest i would rather get for a X360, just for gamer points. I know its just a nerdish epeen thing, but its stil cool to see on the screen while you get points.

Out of all the next gen consoles PS3 is in dead last way in the back all by itself. Hell, the PS2 is still selling more then the PS3. Its not me just hating on the ps3, its just the facts. SoE did what MS did with last gen. Aimed way to high and its backfiring.

BTW, i am not a SoE hater either. Hell, i have had my EQ sub going since aug of 2001. lol

I resort to cheat codes pretty early on the GTA games. It's the only way I could keep it fun.

Jet packs and tanks were usually my favs.

And you might get more as Sony keeps losing its exclusive rights contracts because companies don't want to only sell games for a platform that is dead last in sales... Sony will have to drop the PS3 to 250 before people will start buying it and its lack of exclusive killer games...
