GTA IV: Eastern European or Middle Eastern Immigrant Gangster?
I stopped playing after GTA: Vice City. I can't live with my protagonist being ugly.

Sweet. Another 50 hours of my life I'll never get back. Curse you Rockstar!

I couldn't figure that out either. I was kind of guessing Sicilian but Middle Eastern would be kind of interesting. Really I could care less what the race of the protagonist is, I just like these games.

I play GTA to live vicariously in the game...I need some way to associate myself with the protagonist in my eyes. Lately, most GTA characters are hard for me to accept.

It would be great if they incorporated a system where you could create your own character like you have in sport games. I think that would be a really good way to get people even more hooked into their games. Personally the storyline and the general game play do it for me, especially with the maps getting bigger and the interaction within that world becoming more interesting.

In any case, I'd rather just explore the city rather than do the violent things in the game. They need to just make a city exploration game.

You can do that in Saints Row.

Those graphics look unreal.
All I hope they do is improve the driving physics to a little more realistic. If anyone has ever played the Getaway...now theres some realistic driving. From acceleration to breaking and turning...it seems very real. Maybe some camera angles inside the car too, with all the details and such. Instead of just a half ass first person view with no details whatsoever.
Multiplayer would be nice as well.
I don't buy the games on the consoles anyway, they are always far better graphics wise and control wise for the computer. Then you can download car mods..add ons...map mods and play multiplayer.
Looking forward to this for sure.
Do any of you play San Andreas multplayer?

How do you navigate that website? I just see an image of Liberty City, with music playing, and nothing else loads...

Weak graphics, same gameplay as the older games just 'bigger'.
It's a shame, they really had an opportunity to make something special here. As it is, other developers are doing WAY more interesting things in the genre (see: Prototype and APB)

Same gameplay and bigger. Where do I sign up?
I've been waiting for this ever since I bought the PS3. I've rented a few games, but this will be the first one I buy.
I wish Saints Row had come out for the PS3, but they canceled the project for some reason.

Do you really think you'd get a different response on a dedicated gaming site? The fact of the matter is that despite "advancements" in the sandbox genre, nothing has been able to actually surpass the GTA series in terms of immersion for most people. Of course you would probably disagree, but I think most would still side with GTA as the cream of the crop.
The graphics aren't great, but graphics have never been GTA's thing. GTA graphics have been weak ever since the inception and it hasn't really slowed the game down.
I also disagree with your claim that it's bigger, as GTA IV is actually supposed to be smaller than San Andreas. Personally I prefer it to be much smaller as I never had time to memorize the map as I did with Liberty City.

Yeah I love just wandering around the Grand Theft cities exploring them as well, til a cabby or another driver cuts me off then I gotta blow the crap out of their car and beat them up on the street, wait of the ambulance to come revive then, and then take then out again  .
In all serious I'm nuts about the Grand Theft Auto Series, it's the only game I buy right on release day and play forever even for hours and hours even after I've finished all the missions. Every one Rockstar has put the effort to make better and this one looks amazing, can't wait.
