^Rumours about the downloadable content for the Xbox360

Hm. I'm not convinced. It's a nice thought, but I doubt it.

fuck. i can't buy a 360 just to play one game.

 

i've been waiting for this too. i'm pissed off.

yeah, because there aren't any other good games on 360... ffs, give me a break.

i should rilly buy a console for this shit.

 

i lean to PS3 because of many happy times with the 1 & 2

 

i don't lean to 360 because i don't

 

sway me!

rumor has it that there will be entirely new cities available as downloads from 360. none for PS3. also, getting a PS3 becuz you liked past playstation consoles might not be wise. PS1 and PS2 actually had games.

sorry, i really don't want this thread to devolve into a console debate.

either buy one, or don't. we don't care. listening to PC gamers whine about consoles is fucking tired.

Way to fuckin' fail. :laughing:

Can you just shit off with your console debate? They're boring enough when they're in their own thread.

I was a huge Playstation fanboy but the ps3 made an incredibly awkward and pathetic entrance, with the enormous pricetag and the blu ray player which honestly doesnt do you any good unless you were planning on buying one in the first place.

However, i would have to say that the ps3 is definately beginning to redeem itself, oscars list there is actually making me somewhat jealous, specifically god of war 3 and ratchet and clank but i still think the 360 has a much larger and more comprehensive gamelist.

console wars aside, gta 4 is going to be the greatest one yet

I'm just having a little fun, that's all. I own the 360 and PS3 and I'm happy about both of them.

Woah...

finally got around to preordering mine yesterday. wondering if i should bother trying to make it to a midnight release or maybe just skip work on the tuesday.

At around 11:50am Greenwich Mean Time, the PAL version of Grand Theft Auto IV for the Xbox 360 was ripped and leaked to various torrent sites by a ground called iCON. This would of course enable burning a copy for the home console. Meanwhile, the NTSC version is expected within the next 48 hours. YouTube clips have been popping up online of the game's opening and early missions — but as of posting, many of the clips have been taken down. The retail release is a mere six days away. This isn't the first GTA game leaked as San Andreas was as well. And it was leaked a week before, too.

played it for 30 mins, didnt really do anything apart from blow civilians apart. killing people is much more fun, new guns, graphics are pretty good, it just felt like the old ones. seriously considerin grabbing an xbox.

:undecided:

it really was just like the old ones. isnt that a good thing? they rule.

Where did you try it?

went to some scally den in liverpool yesterday and there were a few heads playing on it. i got to actualy go on it for like 10 mins, just watched them piss about on it for the other 20 i was there. i think they sell pirate games tbh.

Well, I'm definitely looking forward to it. I've preordered it from Zavvi, and I hope they'll send it out monday or tuesday, because then I'll hopefully have it by friday.

any good?

any screencaps of the actual gameplay? most everything i've seen looks like cutscenes (albeit in-game graphics cutscenes). have they released any gameplay vids yet?

They're pretty fast at deleting them on YouTube and Gametrailers.com but you might be able to catch some if you're lucky...

Recently while wandering around the net in search of various game news I came across this reply to a post on Kotaku.com. The reply was in the form of a letter allegedly sent from Jack Thompson to the mother of Take-Two’s CEO Strauss Zelnick.

Mrs. Zelnick

Strauss Zelnick, Take-Two Chairman’s Mother

New York, New York Via e-mails to intermediaries

 

Re: Your Son, Strauss Zelnick

 

Dear Mrs. Zelnick:

 

Your son, as you may know (or maybe you don’t know), is Chairman of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., whose most popular video games are the Grand Theft Auto murder simulator games banned in some countries but sold to children here.

 

Your son last week was reported to have said the following about Grand Theft Auto IV, due to be released Tuesday, April 29:

“We’ve already received numerous [GTA IV] reviews, and to a one, they are perfect scores. My mom couldn’t write better reviews…”

Taking your son’s thought, I would encourage you either to play this game or have an adroit video gamer play it for you. Some of the latter gamers are on death row, so try to find one out in the civilian population who hasn’t killed someone yet.

 

What you will see in your son’s game, if this iteration of GTA is anything like its predecessors, is incredible interactive violence aimed at police officers (whom you can shoot in the head and see the blood spray), innocent bystanders (whom you can run over with your car just for the heck of it), and of course the plentiful female prostitutes you can have sex with and then filet with a knife or stomp with your feet in order to get your money back. Experts note that the recent plethora of cop killings is caused in part by your darling son’s entrepreneurial energy. There are three policemen dead in Alabama because of Grand Theft Auto. I was on 60 Minutes about it. I hope Strauss has provided you with a flat screen tv to see the grief of the bereaved families that fills the screen.

 

The pornography and violence that your son trafficks in is the kind of stuff that most mothers would be ashamed to see their son putting into the hands of other mothers’ children, but, hey, your son Strauss has recently assured the world that he is “a Boy Scout, everybody knows that.” I’d love to see the merit badges that Scout Troop handed out. Is there a Ted Bundy merit badge? If so, your loving son deserves one now. It should be red and green, for obvious reasons.

 

With Passover having just come and gone, it is appropriate to note the following from the Old Testament, Proverbs 22:6:

 

“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

 

Mrs. Zelnick, did you train up your son, Strauss, to make millions of dollars by pushing Mature-rated video games to children? Any kid can go right to little Strauss’ corporate web site and buy GTA IV with no age verification. Strauss is even marketing the new Grand Theft Auto IV on World Wrestling Entertainment tv shows seen by millions of kids. If you trained up Strauss to do this, then shame on you.

 

But maybe the explanation for your son’s corporate sociopathy is to be found in Old Testament Proverb 29:15:

 

“The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.”

 

Maybe you, Mrs. Zelnick, were so taken by your handsome son that you spared the rod and spoiled the child. That would explain why he has brought you, by the way he presently acts, “to shame.”

 

There’s another mother you would do well to talk to. Mrs. Crump in Alabama had a son who was a police officer. He’s now dead because a teenaged boy unwittingly trained himself to kill him on Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. She has a grief she carries every day that only a mother can know.There are other such mothers in the heartland of America whose inhabitants your son simply sees as commercial targets.

 

Your son, this very moment, is doing everything he possibly can to sell as many copies of GTA IV to teen boys in the United States, a country in which your son claims you raised him to be “a Boy Scout.” More like the Hitler Youth, I would say.

Happy Mother’s day, Mrs. Zelnick, which this year is May 11, two weeks after your son unleashes porn and violence upon other mothers’ boys. I’m sure you’re very proud.

 

Sincerely, Jack Thompson

here you go guys, these should stay up because its dailymotion. i was playing it a bit before work today and seriously, this is the best looking game ive ever seen. the car physics are unreal, the character movements are great and the dialouge is excellent. i cannot wait to get home and pull an all nighter. oh and for those wondering, i have a pal xbox for these situations. i dont know if an ntsc one has leaked or not.
