    I am unbelievably stoked for this game and it's all PAs fault. I wasn't even a fan of GTA. I stated that I was going to hell for not only preordering the game but preording the collectors edition. I picked up GTA Liberty City for PSP to slake my thirst for all things GTA. These threads are so bad for me.

    tldr More post please. =)

    Hi5! I picked up 3, VC and SA as pre-owned copies years ago because I never really got that excited about them, just wasn't into the frothing hype. Honestly, I was still way more excited for Halo 3 than I am now for GTA IV, but it's all down to G&T as the reason why I'm now foaming for this thing and pre-ordered the special edition so I could get it at launch.
    Jerks.

    It's 4:30am here. I need to be up at 9 tomorrow for a dentist appointment. I cannot tear myself away from this monitor and its sweet GTA IV gameplay video dispensing goodness.

    In multiplayer,I'm just going to run up to a hamburger stand and just eat hamburgers. For like AN HOUR.

    Why?

    Cause I CAN.

    Yeah, stand and eat burgers all you like, UNTIL I COME UP TO YOU AND KNOCK YOUR ASS OUT AND STEAL THAT BURGER.

    Heck yes I'll eat your burger after it's been on the floor.

    Cause I CAN.

    Yeah, the part about five minutes in?
    When the guy playing gets to the police barricade on the bridge, I was fully expecting him to drive up to it and slam into an invisible wall. Nice to see they didn't go that route, huh?

    Yup, I've read that
    that's down to an apparent 'terrorist threat' being used to cordon off different sections of the city. The blockades are lifted later on of course, but you can go through them if you wish. However you basically get a 6 star wanted level and have no chance of survival, but it is technically possible.

    Also, the first part of the Eurogamer interview with the Rockstar chap mentions the water, and how the rippling stuff happens when you drop a car in it. It sounds so good. I'm getting excited over ripples.

    And is the live feed paused for the moment or something? Because it's just not working for me:(

    I'm starting to wonder if this will be like getting run over in San Andreas, where you can't get up unless the car drives completely off you. Instead, you'll be rolling around in the bed of a truck until the driver stops.

    That'd be a pretty great way to mess with someone.

    actually that's pretty diappointing. They've completely rendered the dashboards as seen in trailers, so not having a cockpit view is pretty disappointing to me. I bet it's probably just not feasible.

    I'm sure it's feasible, it would just take a lot of time to create detailed interiors. You can view the cab rides from the first person, though.
