Playstation 3 & possibly the XBOX 360????

I don't think I could get used to GTA on a PC.

[NeonSamurai]

It will eventualy come out for PC as well im sure. Honestly i couldnt see playing it on a console :p

[Heibges]

XBOX 360 definitely now.

Get yourself a logitech wireless gamepad and you can pump up anti-aliasing, higher resolution and longer draw distance.


Consoles suck. Sorry but it's true.

Ya well why bother with a gaming pad, mouse is far better for shooting. Trying to shoot with a joystick or game pad is.. well, archaic

Only reason for a game pad is for the lousy console ports that dont support mouse control (like Resident Evil 4 for pc). GTA has never been a true "port" but rather actualy developed as a full pc game.

People actually play this trash? I tried the GTA san andreas, and after about 5 minutes, and doing a mission or two, I was bored to tears! After you steal a bus or something, and crash it into everything you see, its already over! Yeah, you get you jobs and you do them, but so what? Its the most pointless game I have ever played.

I played Liberty city with a mouse but found GTA San Andreas much easier with the gamepad. It really isn't a good port imo as if you select to use a steering wheel there is no way to bind your pedals as accelerator and brake without third party software.

Plus the auto target button makes life a lot easier. I'm just not a fan of using mouse on third person views, for first person mouse beats anything but third is just awkward.

I couldn't get into San Andreas either, but I was traditionaly a fan of the series. I played it since the first top-down version.
GTAIII was the best one IMO, good storyline and gameplay, and it was something new at the time. I played Vice City about half-way through and didn't really bother with San Andreas.

A much better game of the same type is Mafia. It's without a doubt one of the best games I have ever played... ever, maybe only second to Deus Ex

[d@rk51d3]

Deus Ex! Now THAT was a game. Still on my Hdd actually.

[PAW]

Did I hear you right? mafia = 2nd best game ever???

tsktsktsk. No sir it is not. I have completed both san andreas and mafia (actually i completed all the GTA's) and I find all GTA's far more replayable (deus ex was/is an amazing game but is not as replayable). The only reason I bothered to finish Mafia was because I enjoyed the storyline.

Some speculation from a few pc game magazines are saying that the new GTA will be far less comical in appearance and a lot truer to the real grime, hustle and bustle of the big city. That might be from the video.

At least they are exploring a different cultural background for the criminals than the cliche'd hip hop artist or mafioso. Makes a nice change. In fact, in that repect, isn't it a unique game? Don't think i've ever seen a game attempt to look into the far less glorified world of the modern immigrant (can't remember if the character was mentioned as being an illegal immigrant or not).
I always thought they'd try shifting location. Maybe the Chinese triads?

Anyways, I'm lookin forward to it.

[stabiz]

Mafia easily beats ANY of the GTA games. Mafia is so damned good.

[GakunGak]

This time GTA's gonna rock!
The russian's aren't comming... They're already here...

I certainly hope so. You started out GTA:SA as a black youth trying to make his way through a neighbourhood ruled by inner city gangs and flooded with drugs. By mid-point you were stealing secret jet packs from Area 69 and delivering them to a mysterious hipster named "The Truth." It makes for a very fun game but I hope they get back down to earth soon.
