The silly, cartoony vibe is gone for good.įrom our perspective, ditching the over-the-top vibe from Vice City and San Andreas was a crucial design decision. Nonetheless we heard several radio songs that will put a gigantic grin on the faces of GTA fans.if they make it into the final version.ģ.

We have to stay quiet on any specifics here, as back-stage wheeling and dealing is still in full effect. Blind-fire options are also available if you want to dish out some punishment from behind cover.

Rather than simply slap a generic hi-def look on GTA IV, Rockstar North went back to the drawing board and blessed the game with vibrant story arcs, top-tier voice talent, and an enhanced version of the award-winning Rage engine, used to create the aesthetically pleasing Table Tennis, to achieve maximum visual and physics quality.

Its still the same world.but its been re-invented.Ĩ. Grand Theft Auto IV is clearly its own game, and Rockstar North is forging its own path without being confined to the universe of the older games. And none of San Andreass clunky exercise and weight gain. Feature: 9 Reasons We are Excited for GTA IV
