Grand Theft Auto IV Preview

Tears of Insanity | July 25, 2007 | Previews | Playstation 3 
IGN gets a sneak peak at Rockstar's upcoming 360 and PS3 hit, Grand Theft Auto IV. The build they were shown was 45 minutes long and while the demonstration was a mere teaser the visuals were truly breathtaking.
After waiting for years for the true sequel to one of the most influential games of the past decade, Grand Theft Auto III, we finally got a taste of the future about two months ago. Rockstar Games headed towards the West Coast (a.k.a. the Best Coast) with a very special parcel in tow - a build of Grand Theft Auto IV. While what we saw then was certainly impressive, the presentation parlayed to us was nothing short of a teaser. We never even saw a gun.

This time though, things were different. Rockstar recently gave us a double-dipped walkthrough of about 45 minutes of play time, once without commentary or explanation so that we could just take it all in, and then a second time with a full presentation to clue us in to all of the details. Though we've all played countless hours of the GTAIII trilogy, this second time through was necessary simply because of the amount of stuff thrown in here.

    Still debating which console to get this one...it's a tough choice, really. Game looks amazing, no doubt. Honestly, though, I'm more drawn to other games this season, like CoD4

    Brilliant, it's time for the wave of previews from online gaming sites. It's too tempting not to read them!

    Yeah, I read somewhere that only 30% was to be revealed..anyway that's irrelevant. It's really cool info this stuff. It's pleasing to hear that even non-fans are starting to enjoy the game and everyone's comments are pretty positive so far.

    This is definately top spot on my wishlist of games.
