“Dates-wise I also discovered that the first piece of GTA downloadable content will be arriving in November as well. Very little details were given but I was assured it would be sizable bringing roughly 15 hours of additional play time.” - Chris from RPG-TV
Kotaku pointed us to the above RPG-TV blog which gives us a clearer picture of when we can hope to get some more Grand Theft Auto’ing done.
Rockstar has previously stated that it would break a few price barriers when they released the exclusive Xbox 360 DLC this fall and, if the above is accurate, it looks like gamers will get their full money’s worth.
Would you guys mind paying more than premium prices (likely above $30) for an additional 15 hours of GTA IV content?
While it comes as no surprise that a game with “Grand Theft Auto” in the title would go on to sell millions upon millions, it does come as a bit of a surprise that it has beaten ALL of Nintendo’s console offerings, saleswise.
NPD has reported that Grand Theft Auto IV has gone and sold a cool $6,293,000 in North America and Europe (the game will be out shortly in Japan). Followed closely by Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario Kart Wii, Wii Fit, and Guitar Hero III, in order.
The title pretty much says it all. Five teenagers were arrested in Chicago for breaking into a video game store and looting merchandise. The strange part is that two of the criminals nearly escaped the scene, but they asked police officers for a ride home and that’s how they were caught.
I’m not sure if these guys were gamers or not, but they ceratainly need to play a little more Grand Theft Auto IV. They could probably learn a thing or two from our good friend Niko Bellic when it comes to the proper way s of evading police. These guys may actually make our list of “world’s dumbest gamer criminals”.
We decided to use the Beta image of Niko above because these guys don’t deserve the real thing.
It looks like Japan will FINALLY get their release date for Grand Theft Auto 4. On October 30, expect to pick up your very own copy of GTA IV for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation3. I’m sure there will be another “burst” in sales for the game of course and consoles. GTA IV IS a console seller!
Three teenagers were arrested in Fulton County, Georgia this week and were charged with 57 felony counts after they firebombed 3 cars with molotav cocktails. According to the report, the teens are claiming they learned “how to do it” from playing Grand Theft Auto games. I’m sure the anti-game groups will try to use this situation to fuel their fire, but it’s an absurd claim by the teens. The last time I checked, no game in the GTA series teaches you how to create a molotav cocktail. With our without video games, these are simply bad kids. They more than likely made the claim thinking it could be used as some sort of defense in court. Let’s just hope the Fulton County judge who hears their case has no mercy on them. I’m not sure what else to say about the situation. It does seem that as a society we have completely forgotten to teach youth about personal accountability. Criminals continue to blame everything but themselves for the crimes they take part in…
PC gamers don’t have much longer to wait for Grand Theft Auto IV. The game will be hitting shelves on November 18th and 21st in North America and Europe respectively. For more information on the game, visit http://www.rockstargames.com/IV. While I think it’s a little late in the game for anyone to get extremely excited about a PC release of GTA IV, we can always hope that the mod community finds a way to make the PC version exciting.
The faint yell you’ve heard in ALL 6 Star Wars films is the legendary scream called ‘The Wilhelm Scream’. After playing Grand Theft Auto, Metal Gear Solid 4 and God of War I and II, I can confirm the infamous scream is also in video games. After reading up on the history of ‘The Wilhelm Scream’ it seems it has been used in 170 movies, 15 TV shows and 2638374853 56 Video Games. That sound is so noticeable that when I hear it on any media, I’ll instantly look at my wife for confirmation. Then we both ask “This movie has it too?”
Below are the list of video games that include ‘The Wilhelm Scream’:
Ant City (When someone is run over by a car.)
Army Of Two(During the China cutscene)
Asterix at the Olympic Games
Battlefield 2: Modern Combat
Bionic Commando: Rearmed
Call of Duty 2
Civilization: Revolution (DS version)
Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars (Occasionally when killing infantry)
Dirk Valetine and the Fortress of Steam(Sometimes when you kill a guard)
Dungeon Keeper (When a warlock is being tortured)
Eragon (Demo: When Brom shoots the ropes holding the gate up and the gate collapses)
Grand Theft Auto IV
Grand Theft Auto:San Andreas (When you kill a gangster) DEBATED
God of War (When you kill the man holding the bridge on the Rooftops of Athens. Also during a later cinematic scene where Kratos leads his troops into a church)
God of War 2
Halo 3 (Occasionally when a Spartan is killed in Multiplayer)
We’re certainly looking forward to Saints Row 2 here at Kezins.com. So far, it looks like the title will have more to offer than Grand Theft Auto IV did in some ways. The latest SR2 trailer poked fun at the activities in GTA IV. While the video is a brilliant piece of marketing, there may be a little truth to it. I’d certainly rather steal a sewage truck and spray it on innocent pedestrians than waste my time bowling with Roman. The question in my mind is “how will the graphics end up looking and how smooth will the game play?” The game doesn’t even come out until October, so I’m not sure how much competition it will have with GTA IV, but I am sure that the title will be analyzed and compared to GTA in every aspect. From what I’ve seen so far, Saints Row 2 may actually be a great title. Will it be better than GTA IV? At this point, I’d still say “no”. What do you guys think?
The new Saints Row 2 trailer from THQ pokes fun at the silly activities in Grand Theft Auto IV. The original Saints Row was a pretty good GTA knockoff and so far it looks like SR2 may actually be even better than the original, with tons of things to do. Will the new title be better than GTA IV? I don’t think so, but it’s going to be a must-buy title for anyone into these kinds of games.
On Thursday, June 12th, 2008 all PS3’s will eject their copies of Grand Theft Auto 4, and put in Metal Gear Solid 4. Since the original Metal Gear Solid was one of the first games that made a huge impact on the PlayStation One, you can expect MGS4 to do the same for the PlayStation Three.
The below video is a teaser movie trailer for Metal Gear Solid 4. It was done with a blockbuster movie approach, and was done quite well. Heck, even the deep voiced guy still gives me the cool “ohh, I want to see that” feeling.
