9 Reasons to be excited about GTA IV
![]()
- No Returning Characters.
New Characters, No GTAIII-era Liberty City and none of San Andrea’s clunky exercises and weight gain gimmicks. This is a new fresh look and perspective of GTA.
- Liberty City is the best virtual city we’ve seen yet.
The new Liberty City is practically a carbon copy of New York City everything from skycrapers to the grit on the sidewalk. This should be interesting to play. - Rocket Launcher is now available!
We’ve noticed the distinctive tube-shaped weapon strapped to the underside of Little Jacob’s trunk hunch. This is great! - Production value is topnotch.
More cinematic style, adding an enhanced version of Rage engine used to create aesthetically pleasing Table Tennis. GTAIV is very pretty. - Shooting mechanic is superior.
Rather than relying on clumsy lock-on buttons, you can now shoot with precision from a Resident Evil 4style over the shoulder camera. Nice!
- It’s got a killer soundtrack.
We heard several radio songs that will put a gigantic grin on the faces of GTA fans..I just hope they make it to the final version. - No more silly cartoony vibe.
Now that GTAIV is starting from scratch with high-end XBox 360and PS3
hardware, the realistic visual style is an excellent match for the ambitious storytelling goals. This is a more adult GTA, no kids please.
- Online Multiplayer is a go.
Nothing is known yet of GTAIV’s online multiplayer aside from the fact that you can access it through your in-game cell phone. Cool! - It is still made by Rockstar North
The team at Rockstar North is very talented in this arena. They will surely continue to amaze you with the same feeling of limitless opportunity that you remember from GTA III.
