So have they announced how big the entire map is going to be? I am hoping it is going to be at least 15 square miles.
They have and no. It is smaller than San Andreas.
Smaller than the entirety of San Andreas. Including the vast, barren, often boring expanses of San Andreas.
I had a lot of fun dirtbiking around out there though. I'm a little sad there isn't some huge expanse of land for me to just romp around.
Oh well, the city will suit my needs just fine.
The problem was, if you lost your vehicle, you had to hoof it for twenty minutes or carjack a slow clunker to putt-putt-putt all the way back to the nearest town.

Not if you we in a Rancher. The police Ranchers were the fucking best. I spent so much time bothering the hick town police force.
There was a map posted a while back. From what I can tell, educated guess, it's about one and a half times the size of GTA3's Liberty City. So yeah, by far not even close to San Andreas, but definitely large 'enough'.
Oh, and there won't be a huge expanse of land anywhere, no, but there are several parks, and I believe one is a forest of decent size, so there'll be a little of that.
I think that the new Liberty City is much bigger than the 3 cities of San Andreas squished together, but there are no crazy outlying areas. And as we've seen, the map is packed from one end to the other.
the one time i played vice city stories i got stuck behind phil's junkyard on some stretch of empty concrete by the ocean that they forgot to put anything on

I am pleasantly surprised, and readily admit to being wrong on this one. Check out the Francis International Airport, as a good size reference object. Looks like Bohan + Broker + Dukes ALONE is the size of GTA3.
I don't think it's as big as you two were thinking, definitely not even close to San Andreas, but it's also definitely a lot more than 1.5 times the size of GTA3.... I'm going to go with 3, maybe 4 times the size, now. Pretty big.
Next-gen processing power has not been used to give the game a bigger scale (the metropolis of Liberty City is roughly three quarters of the size of San Andreas) but rather to craft a denser, far more immersive and believable environment.
there have been some rumours. since microsoft paid megabucks for exclusive dlc though, it's doubtful it'll be substantial paid stuff, maybe a few gimmicks.
I saw a note that it would contain Hollaback Girl.
I almost cried.
Surely the appearance of Hollaback Girl will be offset by the inclusion of Queen's "One Vision"? Indeed, I put forth that the appearance of Hollaback Girl was necessitated by the greatness of Queen, a natural balancing of the scales even.
I like Queen.
In Other News: Some random website posted a review of early-code GTA4 that was up for all of an hour or so before "This page has been removed due to legal issues". Some possible BS in the spoiler.
10gb install on the PS3. Which sounds excessive. Not sandwichable time, though, it said that the install process was kind of a pre-intro intro. Optional 10gb install on the 360 also and without the install, there were some framerate issues. Also a more dense population of people and cars on the PS3. And it was claimed that the cops still spawn in somewhat abruptly.

I don't buy it, but if it turns out to be true, I'll need a bigger HD for my 360.

I really hope this 360 custom soundtrack thing is legit, cause that list is mostly awful.
They should use a sountrack of what a Russian immigrant would listen to. It would be all Metallica and Polka and the occasional Euro-trash club stuff. I'd totally get down to that.

10 gigs maybe on early reviewable builds but on the retail nope. But I'll bite on an install for 360 is MS is going to ever let it happen its going to be GTA4 still i dont think 10 gigs, 5 tops.
Also dont know if its been posted the Europe is getting a PS3 GTA4 bundle

This will be a pain in MS's ass believe that.
I hope thats not the final design because that is an ugly box. Should've just gone with the black and white title.
Also 360 owners should hope there is an install because all that constant streaming is going to kill a lot of machines and/or discs otherwise.

Lost Odyssey showed me I'm not getting any thing except exclusives on 360 ever again that game has hard locked and dropped the sound so many times that I fear even turning on the console for red lights. I could only imagine what a game that is always streaming would do to my poor 360.
No one is going to buy a goddamn PS3 just for Grand Theft Auto.
At least - having it in a bundle isn't going to encourage anymore people that would do it anyway.
I think you underestimate how popular GTA is in Europe, if you are going to get a console and you see the reason you're buying it branded on the box that is going to influence your decision.
Get that console wars shit out of here, you dumb fuck.
Don't be a prick titmouse. I didn't say "Go getz a ps3, lolz". I said it needs an optional install and none of this "Dont make your game need to install" bullshit because the sad fact is that constantly streaming a game that big isn't going to do the console or disc any wonders. It helped kill PS2s quite frequently from what I hear and having the ability to rip the disc to my HDD for faster loading and less strain on the disc drive made me much more comfortable playing it.

Hey, I have a blog! (Actually being updated again!)

there have been some rumours. since microsoft paid megabucks for exclusive dlc though, it's doubtful it'll be substantial paid stuff, maybe a few gimmicks.
home integration is likely, however
Does anyone have any info on the soundtrack?
I almost cried.
I hate that song with the passion of a thousand cold, dead suns.
'Cause they ain't no holla back grrrrrrl.
I wonder what the world would be like if Gwen Stefani still played in a ska band.
Happy peaceful and productive. A better place.

the music in gta games have been one of the things that set them apart and i don't imagine for a second rockstar don't know that
Your main problem should be that they're paying Gwen Stefani for her music.
Oxygene :^: :^: :^:
as far as i'm concerned gwen stefani is still pretty cool. no doubt earned her license to do whatever the hell she wants
and these days she's much hotter anyway
You mean like....Vladivostok FM?

I'm sorry. Did I miss the update where older machines don't grind discs, burn them or generally fuck up?

Your failure is noted DarkWarrior. Now enough of the console war rubbish. 360 is fine.
