Grand Theft Auto 4 (San Andreas) confirmed and dated!!
Saw the report on gamespot this morning. I am psyched! This winter is going to rule! Wonder what the era will be and what voice actors etc they will have this time round. It's PS2 "exclusive for now by the way.
(Incidentally does anyone else agree that the PS2 is going to have a ridiculously kick-ass line of software out for this holiday season?? MGS3, GTA4, GT3, R&C3, Jak3 etc etc.... awesome!)

I hope they actually add something new to the game, other than a new city, some cars, and a horrible story.

If those are the ONLY differences you saw between GTA3 and Vice City then I don't think we played the same games....

Is this really GTA4? I don't see that mentioned in the article. Based on the title, this will be a second expansion pack/retread, more like a successor to GTA:VC.

This has to be the only series I've ever paid full price for... (ok, my wife has paid full price for...I'm still cheap) so I'm really looking forward to this game...
I did a search but couldn't find the old thread where someone suggested UFO's for the sequel... dammit! Oh well, let the speculation begin!

Cool. I can definitely wait for the Xbox version since I have barely touched the tip of the iceberg on III and IV and it did not pain me to wait 2 or 3 years for that.
Just think, it may come to the Xbox quicker than you think. Manhunt hasn't been out that long & it is coming to the Xbox in a few weeks.
