    Gta 4

    Surpirsed no thread has popped up on this its going to be the biggest game ever !! out in 11 days looks impressive they are keeping a tight lid on the gameplay aspects but its ment to be far more free roaming and interactive than purely mission based like the last ones. where you woul dsay right lets play this properly get killed have to start the mission again and start messing bootign around the town etc.

    Ive seen the map its massive subway system everything i cant wait for it. Think im going to order it in on import 40 euro you cant go too far wrong with that rather than 70ish in game. Ive heard in a few shops they wont have any on the shelves for general sale that they must all be preordered and some places are only getting half what they ordered. I reckon thats just a marketing ploy but still if you really want it get it ordered this week.

      What website can you order it for 40 on?

      Also, is it available for PS2?

        40 euro and 4.99 delivery (45). Not sure when it will arrive i ordered Kane and Lynch from there it arrived the tuesday before release date so i had it early rainbow six 2 arrived the tuesday after release date.

        It is out on a tuesday not a friday so i reckon they will post it then Rokcstar are being really though on this so you will prob have it on thursday.

        I get the majority of my games from here and sell them off on ebay when im finished with them and usually make a few euro in the process. Beats getting 40 euro trading it in in town anyway.


        Just seen the edit nope its not on PS2 only 7th gen machines ( 360 & ps3) im not sure about wii

          I have it pre-ordered off e-bay. Think it came to €46 altogether which is pretty decent. Just hope it comes now!

            Not on the Wii. And as a wii owner, I couldn't give a ****e. I have way too many games to finish and buy already.

                  PS2 is region locked, PS3 is'nt so...Yes they should'nt work here!.

                      On the basis of what?.

                      Anyone who's readproperly about this game will agree!. 10/10 in any review released so far. Built to last for years(Rockstars words not mine). Detail on a scale never seen before. Record number of first week sales expected with 6 million to go in week 1, likley to gross more then ANY other entertainment product in a week(held by Pirates of the Caribbean). (lot's of)Shop's opening for a midnight release of the game!. 99% of shops stock already pre-sold for more then a week etc......

                      Yes that certainly means it's not going to redefine the gaming industry

                      So what games did so?. Any gaming ''expert'' would agree that a previous title(GTA 3) already done this in the past!

                      Any games that did before we're anticipated as much as this or getting as good as reviews!!

                        you realise no new games are going to come out for the PS2 right?

                          GTA3 was revolutionary in that it was a 3d game like Tomb Raider but provided you with far more free roaming capabilities. Looking back, their wasn't any more or less ground to cover in GTA3 than in Tomb Raider, but TR was developed for less powerful machines who could only work in enclosed spaces; hence the tombs, the tight paths, the claustrophobic spaces. Arguably the second Tomb Raider which featured free roaming around the streets of Venice in various vehicles set the mould that GTA3 followed.

                          GTA4 is another 3d free roamer. Sure, there are no arugments that it will probably be fantastic. But redefining the industry? No.

                            If it beats the Pirates of the Caribbean first week profit you could argue that it was the moment when the gaming industry finally fulfilled it's potential to overtake the film industry for profitability, that's about it though, I agree with you on your Tomb Raider point

                              I would say that already happened with games like Halo 2, and GTA San Andreas
