    The detail is insanely realistic holy #$@#!. The main character is badass too

    I hope even with the reaistic graphics its fluidity won't suffer.

    Looks on par with Oblivion, in my opinion (Which is great). I can understand the lower detail pedestrians, since you do have to jam all that, A.I., Car A.I, and graphics all at a reasonable frame rate. Main character looks interesting as well, I was predicting either a asian, cop, or italian.

    Back to Liberty City then. I was kinda hoping for a non-US location like London. However the protaganist seems like he's Middle Eastern. It's going to be really interesting how they're going to handle this one. Post 9/11 NYC, GTA style.

    Nice!

    I hope there are some true innovations though, not just mere updates.

    Being able to explore each building etc would be nice I guess, but then again there's so many - but hey, if GTA can't lead the way, who can?

    actually, the clone games have been introducing some nice improvements. Scarface put some new things in the genre that could be adapted by all.

    I hope it turns into a big scare with people like Jack Thompson calling it 9/11 The Game, since now you're a brown dude in a more realistic NYC. Although, I though he was russian...

    The way he said smuggling people, I find it unlikely that this is the only city in the game.

    Thompson would condemn it regardless of its content; that man is a nutbar.

    Yeah, everywhere I read says he's Russian. The accent is right, but he doesn't look it. Central Asia I figure, former Soviet state perhaps, Borat goes GTA. Maybe even Afghan? Now that would annoy people!

    Anyway, this game will make me buy a PS3.

    I have both consoles but I guarantee this one i'll grab for the 360!

    1) Better downloads
    2) Xbox Live

    That would be pretty silly to have him go up against unarmed cops in
    rover cars...

    Oh come on!!! But yeah you're right it would far too easy in London, though they mostly drive Vauxhalls and BMWs nowadays...

    France would have been too easy as well since they can't seem to drive their Subarus too well, money well spent isn't?

    I thought the guy sounded Russian as well. Maybe he's Chechen?

    To be fair theres still tons of fiestas and unarmed cops. Then again, GTA isn't exactly a realistic game is it?

    The engine seems to rely heavily on texture detail and light effects (HDR) while the poly count on the models is actualy kinda low, something we saw on Doom3 back in 2004.

    Honestly the detail level is kinda like HL2, but the size of that city is very impressive:eek:h:



    Pardon mate, may I steal your wallet?


    Ahh help! police! some common burglar stole my belongings!

    I'll do sire! as soon as I finish my tea, fancy some fish&chips while you're waiting?


    GTA: London:lol:


    PS: dont you guys remember GTA:London 1969? I'll rather have a GTA set in the whole of europe...

    EDIT: "I smuggle people..." check that accent again, hes latin for sure, a puerto rican or dominican...

    He's middle eastern. Maybe Moroccan, since he talks about smuggling people (Europe has a huge problem with smuggling).

    I'd love to see a GTA based in China with a Chow Yun Fat style lead.

    Dude, havent you seen the US-Mexico border? they smuggle people inside car seats and dashboards, thats real smuggling, not a semi full of albanians, if you know what I mean...

    Plus check the minorities of the past GTA characters: caucasian-american (GTA3) italian-american (GTAVC) and african-american (GTASA) so the only minority down the line thats big enough are latin americans.

    This guy is latin for sure...

    Don't be so ignorant. "Our people smuggling is the best!", what a load of BS. A massive number of people are smuggled into Europe each year and that is not limited to a few Albanians - if you know what I mean. I suggest you research.
