GTA IV creator calls for larger storage for Xbox 360 games. No, Blu-ray isn't the answer.
With Grand Theft Auto IV just a few short, unbearable days away, the Rockstar team are doing the rounds with the press. Rockstar co-founder Sam Houser has been speaking to 1Up and has been surprisingly open about the problems the game faced with the Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles…
YouTube Hits: To buy GTA IV on the Xbox 360 or PS3, that is the question…
Confused as to whether you should buy Grand Theft Auto IV on the Xbox 360 or PS3? You’re lucky you have a choice in consoles, most only have one, if that!
Still, my household is just as confused, with more arguments breaking out over this issue than whose turn it is to do the dishes that day month. Let this young Australian gamer, in the video above, guide you towards your choice, with his comical homemade video on the pros and cons of the game on each console. Failing…
GTA IV launch to pull in $400m, kill Iron Man
With gaming no longer the bedroom pursuit of adolescent boys who should really get out more, the movie industry is starting to get a little nervous about what it’s doing to the box offices. Variety magazine has now put a figure on what is gearing up to be the biggest game launch in the history of gaming: $400 million. And the fear is that this is one $400m that won’t be going into the pockets of Hollywood execs like it’s supposed to…
Grand Theft Auto now only two weeks away… better start queuing!
Actually, even if you rush down to the shops right now you won’t be the first person on the streets to start the long countdown to the launch of Grand Theft Auto IV. That most dubious honour goes to a handful of really nutty Swedes who already started their pilgrimage last week. At the moment they’re living it large inside a small tent pitched outside their local video game store…
Don't buy a PlayStation3 just yet – GTA IV bundle coming on April 29
Is GTA IV the game that could shift PS3 out of its current sales and perceptual malaise? The little bundle pictured there appeared on European retailers yesterday, and could well help Sony get its PlayStation business back on track.
Sadly it’s only the 40GB model, and there’s an old-fashioned SIXAXIS in the box rather than a new DualShock3, but that’s just your standard example of how badly Sony got things with PS3. With a copy of GTA IV in the box…
Rockstar announces online Social Club for GTA IV
Thanks to Xbox Live’s Achievements, being able to keep track of your friend’s scores online is what we’ve come to expect from modern games. But with GTA IV being released on both PS3 and Xbox 360, each individual’s closed systems make it difficult to keep track of how your friends are doing if they own a different console. Therefore Rockstar has invented a work around – the Rockstar Social Club…
Grand Theft Auto IV – coming to PS3 and Xbox 360 on April 29
Finally, the game the world has been waiting for has an official release date – GTA IV will arrive on April 29, and it’s such an important game it’s getting a simultaneous worldwide release.
Coming to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, it was thought for a few worrying months that GTA IV might end up getting re-delayed back to the autumn, after it missed its Autumn 2007 original launch and was sent back to Spring 2008…
Gordon Brown wants Citizen's Jury to discuss game violence
Gun-toting teenage gangs on the streets of Liverpool? You could blame Manhunt 2 and Grand Theft Auto, or you could look at the wider issues around Britain’s emerging gang culture, look at how the adults who arm these children are getting hold of drugs and guns, before tackling the socio-economic reasons why so many kids are turning to petty crime in the first place.
Anyway, Gordon Brown is plumping for Plan A…
The real reason why GTA IV was absent from Sony's E3 PS3 presentation
Tabloid-style headlines rule, don’t you think? Anyway, the story behind it is the mysterious lack of any Grand Theft Auto IV footage in Sony’s E3 PS3 presentation. Microsoft made a big deal out of the game’s Xbox 360 version, yet it was absent from Sony’s glitzy video.
If Microsoft buys Take Two, could PS3 lose Grand Theft Auto?
Okay, this is just speculation right now, but Microsoft is reportedly considering an acquisition of troubled publisher Take Two. That’s the same Take Two that owns Rockstar Games, which develops the Grand Theft Auto series.
