IV

Is that tumbleweed?

Things have been quiet around here for far too long. After the announcement of GTA IV’s delay and the predictable reaction from the community, it’s as if everything just came to a standstill. Recently, there’s been a significant lack of news to cover. Most fansites are turning to filler as a crutch to lean on. And for those of us

Rockstar Posters & Avatars

Check out the all-new posters section at Rockstar Warehouse, “offering limited-run poster reprints of classic titles from the Rockstar catalog.” The prints are available for $15.00 each, and sizes range from 18×18″ to 24×36″. Rockstar have also released a bunch of new desktops and avatars – the latter of which are now available on our forum. Stay tuned for more GTA IV updates. We are expecting

Thompson wants Goldberg removed

Jack Thompson has come to the *cough* crazy conclusion that Tom “Guns don’t kill people, videogames do” Goldberg, is somehow based on him. And he’s now threatening to block GTA IV’s release unless the references are removed. Goldberg is a shady lawyer who features in one of the two missions previewed by gaming magazines in July. The mission demands that Niko kills

Airbourne to feature in GTA IV?

An article over at gamesindustry.biz is claiming that Australian band “Airbourne” are set to feature in the new Tony Hawk game, as well as the new Grand Theft Auto. Don’t take this as confirmed though, Rockstar have stressed many times before that the soundtrack is a work in progress, and that anything there just now may or may not make it into the final

Minor (new) GTA IV details from GamePro Magazine

Some new details have emerged in the latest issue of US magazine GamePro. GamePro previewed the same missions we have heard about many times before, so most of these details are minor, and aren’t particularly mind-blowing. See for yourself: One of the billboards seen during the demo advertised “Shark Credit Cards,” while others advertised “Pirate Music” and “The Whiz” (“The Whiz” is the type of phone that Niko uses.) The

GTA IV at Leipzig Games Convention?

Yesterday, Kotaku received a press release confirming that Rockstar Games will be present at next week’s Games Convention in Leipzig. Rockstar Games is happy to announce its attendance at the GC in Leipzig, Germany this August. Two upcoming titles will be on display at the conference, including the world-wide unveiling of Rockstar’s newest installment of the Midnight Club franchise, Midnight Club Los

Community Spotlight: Recreation of GTA IV Trailer 2

It’s been a rough couple of days with folks recovering from the announcement that GTA IV has been pushed back into the new year, so I decided to dig through some older posts for this weekend’s Community Spotlight in hopes of finding something to cheer people up. But before I get into that, I’d like to straighten a few things

Community Spotlight: GTA IV Delayed

Yesterday we broke the news that the release of GTA IV has been pushed back until around the spring of ’08. The reactions that followed were overwhelmingly broad in terms of tone and severity, but all managed to be (mostly) predictable. The GTAForums thread devoted to discussing the delay (at the time of writing this) has already accumulated in excess of 800 replies and

Analyst: PS3 caused GTA IV delay

Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter believes that Rockstar has delayed the release of Grand Theft Auto IV because it is struggling with development on the PlayStation 3. And since it’s likely that Rockstar had an agreement with Sony not to favour one console over the other, it means they can’t release one version and delay the other. “We think it
