GTA IV and other news

April 29, 2008 by pastapadre 

It goes without saying that today is GTA IV day. I doubt there will be much (if any) sports gaming news or info to be released with all the concentration around GTA. So I’ll be online playing (360) this evening and anyone who’d like to get together for some matches just leave your info in the comments. If there is anything interesting relating to the sports titles that makes its way out today I’ll be sure to get it up as usual.

  • I expect the daily NCAA Football 09 screenshots to return on Thursday after taking a few days off.
  • It looks like Facebreaker for the 360/PS3 (originally thought to be an early November release) may be out in early September. Four new screenshots have been added to the gallery.
  • An effort is being made to possibly add online weather in Madden 09 after the community reacted unfavorably to the news that it wouldn’t be included. I’ll have some thoughts on this and more in the near future after a discussion with Phil Frazier last week.
  • Make sure to vote in the poll for which NFL team had the best Madden Draft. Kansas City and Pittsburgh are the two that have separated themselves from the pack.
  • Who else is excited for Iron Man coming out? This is really the kickoff to the summer movie season. Other than Cloverfield and Forgetting Sarah Marshall I haven’t felt the desire to head out to the theaters over the past several months.

    Well I’ve never been into GTA all that much…I’ve bought them but just don’t have the patience to play through them. Given the spectacular reviews I may give more effort to do that though. I’m most excited about the online stuff which sounds awesome.

    Well… Its a good game, im sure if EA bought Take Two… This site would be GTA 4 heaven, hell you pumped up the worst game in 2007-2008 and got people to cop it (NBA LIVE 2008).

    Enjoy that game my fellow button masher, it wont hurt ya Telly

    It’s just a logistical issue keeping them from going up. I would think they’ll probably have a handful on Thursday to make up for it.

    this sucks, I can’t get GTA until after school’s out because I don’t want to flunk finals as a result, have fun though, without me guys.

    My local GameStop was sold out. Never been much of a GTA fan but I will give this a whirl….

    It will not, however, deter me from playing my Tigers season in The Show or COD 4….

    Happy GTA IV Day!

    I hope EA gets inspired and adds variable weather to online play.

    how can you not purchase a game that gets perfect scores across the boards?! GTAIV is awesome and I haven’t even gone online yet w/it…I’m also very pumped to hear that EA might include online weather too!!!!!!! YEAYUH!

    Im hearing the game isnt as GOOD as advertised by IGN. They usually do give good reviews for people if they give them the “Exclusive Rights” to everything. Ex: Mlb 2K8 to Mlb: The Show
    Im not positive but i think they gave the Show a worse rating, when im pretty sure the Show is the better overall game.

    Im not saying they think its bad, but they said its not a 10. Maybe a 9 but not a 10. I dont think a game should get a 10 because that would mean its perfect, and that nothing is wrong with it. I heard there is a few framerate issues, and a couple other things, but other than that, i heard it is a very good game overall.

    What do you guys think? I havent bought it and im not sure if i will.
