GTAIV- Taxi's... PS3

"Okay... every, and I mean *EVERY* GTA game since III has expanded on the
previous version."

Technically you would be wrong Buckaroo since you aren't taking in account
for GTA, GTA2, and the London thing (all which were released the the
original Playstation, if not the PS2).
GTA2 was an improvement over the original, just like any sequel should. Plus
the London thing, call it add-on or stand alone. That was the end of that
era.

The next era was a relationship with the PS2. GTA3 was phenomenal and
cracked open a new genre at the time, but looking back, was quite simplistic
with a fun storyline. The ambulance mission was pure hell. Vice City
expanded that with real music, a cool theme, more stuff to do, and real
actors. SA took an even bigger leap with a massive playfield, even more
actors and more music. Plus the shitload of other cool things they were able
to stuff into a long used game engine. That was the end of that era.

Now along comes the next era of GTA. We're starting over again. I think R*
set out what they wanted to do with Liberty City. Amazing detail and
atmosphere of a city, great physics engine, and good storyline. Wasn't that
the basics behind #3 ? An interactive city with a story to show it off with
? Use your imagination again.

And with the delay in DLC, i wonder if R* is going to address some of the
users wish lists along with whatever "episodic" content they had planned. If
all you wanted was a jetpack, by all means buy the PC version. I'm sure
we'll see plenty of user mods this winter.

Actually, GTAIII used real actors for the voiceovers. Joe Pantoliano,
Michael Madsen, Frank Vincent, Michael Rapaport, Robert Loggia and Kyle
Maclachlan all lend their voices.

VC did have "bigger" stars, but I can't think of anyone better suited
to Salvatore Leone than Frank Vincent (Harvey Keitel? Robert De Niro?).


Cheers,
Rob
