GTA fans can't complain, since on average there's a new piece of news almost every day and the Grand Theft Auto IV previews keep rolling out one after another. British gaming magazines are doing the same, for example the unofficial PlayStation3 Unlimited magazine.
Yesterday a few lucky British subscribers found the latest issue of PlayStation magazine in their mailboxes, and it includes a GTA IV preview. Here's a quick summary:
I came across something interesting while browsing: an audio file that is claimed to come from one of the radio stations in the newest Grand Theft Auto. Judging by how serious the ads are, that claim could easily turn out to be true...
No, I didn't make a typo in the title. I didn't, but the editors of PLAY magazine in the United Kingdom did…
As we know, yesterday it was a week since the new GTA trailer was published. Naturally this has every single fan excited and pumped up, and the guessing games have started accordingly.
Michael Bloomberg, the current mayor of New York, has voiced his disapproval of the GTA series returning to the streets of "New York".
On the last day of February, Take-Two Interactive released its financial results for 2006. At events like this, Take-Two usually talks a little about recently released games and the projects currently in the works.
As I mentioned in an earlier news post, the flood of news about the latest GTA is slowly starting up! The best proof of that is that Rockstar has updated the game's page.
Fake pictures aren't usually posted as news these days, but for the past week or two a cover has been circulating on the web that's so convincing even one of IGN's news editors fell for it, writing that this might very well be the cover of GTA IV! He had to get over that disappointment...
I've got big news for everyone who makes and loves stunt videos! grandtheftautoportal is holding a stunt contest in two categories (A: San Andreas, B: Vice City). In the first round, the organizers pick the five best videos in each category from the submissions.
The Japanese love San Andreas! Nothing proves it better than the fact that between January 15 and 22 more than 227 thousand copies were sold in the land of the rising sun, even though the game wasn't on the shop shelves yet, since the official Japanese release date is January 25.
In the latest Grand Theft Auto, GTA: Vice City Stories, which hits the shelves in early November, one of the eighties' biggest stars, Phil Collins, is said to get a supporting role.
