Not much but I'm slowly getting excited looks like maybe it will be mid 90's or present day time for the "Ghetto style" shooting.

Straight up west coast gangsta. I like it.

Jackskeleton

I love the screen shots of the loading screens/ character art.

finally some West coast NWA gangsta action.

WEEEESSSST SIDEEEEEE!

I wonder if that last pic is supposed to remind people of T-Bone (I forget if that's his name) in Friday,

tsohg

That was Deebo and it would kick "hella" ass if there was character like that in the game

beefjerky

I hope I'll be able to run away from the SWAT on a lowrider bike. It'd be cool if they fit an earthquake into the plot too.

Jackskeleton

So I take it this is a mix of L.A. and S.F.

nickdawgy

Sweet, a bike

Can't wait for October, hope it's not delayed.

RyoHazuki

Those screens remind me of True Crime.

PixyJunket

What?! People still care about this game after that Halo 2 and Zelda footage? (j/k)

Seriously, how many suburban white internet dorks do you suspect will whine about the hip-hop style this game is obviously going for? How many, how many? God, that's going to be great.

Mad props to the bike, you better be able to ride one!

Aghama

I don't think you realize how many suburban white boys listen to hip-hop.

I was getting skeptical if Vice City could be topped. I still am, but those screens look great.

And is that Warren G in the second pic?

mtucker

Cool, a bike. Hopefully you can bust out some Matt Hoffman-style tricks while gunning down ganstas with an uzi. That would totally sweer.

flashburn

You do realize, all their screenshots for GTA are done on a PC, at high resolution. Since they are using Renderware, they can easily accomplish that.

PixyJunket

Oh, trust me.. I KNOW. But, they aren't posting on an online forum about video games.

PixyJunket

Hmm.. makes sense. I was suspect of how good the trees in the background looked.

Aghama

Well yeah, we know it's going to look just like Vice City (sans neon). New engine won't be until the PS3 probably.

The Franchise

Looks sweet. I can live with a more revised version of the GTA3 graphics engine. Can't wait to see what sick stuff they've added to this one. Some online action would be cool.

huh?

I hope they make some updates to the gameplay to keep it fresh, that is my only concern. I got the Double Pack for Xbox, and by the time I was starting Vice City, I was bored. The screens look cool though, I hope the main character has corn-rows....

I typically wait for the $20.00 price tag but I consider this a must buy and worth every penny of the $44.99 I am paying via ebgames.com. Ordered this awhile back when they had 10% off and free shipping.

cheapskate

These are the only games I've paid full price for... (in recent memory)

I'm not expecting to be blown away by the graphics engine, but that's never been the reason for GTA's popularity anyway. I take it you start out as some low level thug and rise to GANGSTA!?! I'd like to see a "Training Day" type storyline...!

I don't think anyone saw that bicycle coming...

CreatureX

With the west coast hip hop theme, I think this game will easily surpass the previous GTA games in terms of sales.

TheMadMonk

I have no idea what that means, but I'm not into hip-hop/gansta stuff.

I'd have to agree with this. The commercials for "True Crime" test my tolerance as it is..

however, my enjoyment of Vice City was so great, i'd be willing to give this a shot before being totally disgusted with it..

MJKTool

Looks awesome!! Is this going to be a PS2 exclusive?
