Re: Let's talk about... Grand Theft Auto 4

Per Dookie's last post I wonder if the comedian(s) will be region specific. I mean the guy Dookie has listed as the comic is well known but not THAT well known in North America if you know what I mean.

it doesn't really matter. Obviously, knowing who he is would add a cool touch to the game, but it's irrelevant to his primary role as a stand up comic in a comedy club.

A comedian who could be in the game... (I got this from another site, not sure if true or not might not even really be a spoiler but just incase) Nothing big to me. Never really seen his work .

Spoiler

dunno if its been already mentioned but in shortlist the free magazine in the UK. It claims Ricky Gervais is in GTA 4 performing three minutes worth of new sketches and some old sketches from fame in the comedy clubs.
Plus, he will also be involved in some other mysterious way.

He created The Office and Extras with Stephen Merchant

I wonder if we can kill comedians? The one big name person that they mentioned (didn't say his name) they said we wouldn't be able to kill them. I hope we can kill the famous people too...maybe not though because if so they would be out of the game or just reappear or what?

You scare me...

I mean I know he has done those things, but I never heard his stand up.

You scare me...

Why? Don't you wish the same?

Microsoft backing GTA 4 with Halo 3 scale ad campaign

The platform holder is spending big money to ensure gamers know the Xbox 360 version of GTA 4 is the one to buy.

Xbox Head of Gaming and Entertainment Stephen McGill has confirmed that the platform holder will be supporting the launch of Grand Theft Auto IV with a campaign on the same scale as Halo 3.

"Rockstar will naturally be doing their own campaign to launch what obviously will be a massive title for them, but Microsoft sees GTA IV as a fantastic title to showcase how great Xbox 360 is... what with it's amazing graphics & gaming experience, coupled with playing with your friends on Xbox LIVE, achievements and of course the exclusive extra episodic content for GTA IV that will be downloadable this Autumn and will only be available on Xbox 360.

"As such you can expect a large awareness campaign from us, showcasing how great GTA IV on Xbox 360 is, and what great value the Xbox 360 console is too. Our campaign is the same sort of scale as our Halo 3 campaign last year so you can expect to see and hear a lot about GTA IV on Xbox 360 over the coming weeks."

The campaign began this week with lifestyle press advertising - commercials will begin to run on TV from this weekend, continuing beyond the launch of the highly anticipated title.

GTA 4 is scheduled for release on April 29 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Given the astronomical success that was the Halo 3 marketing campaing, I think GTA IV will see very strong sales on the 360. Hell, GTA IV might actually be more hyped than Halo 3 (and reaches a broader fanbase).

I was wondering when Microsoft would start their aggressive campaigning. With a price drop too, sales would absolutely take off.

PS3 GTA IV has five-minute “mandatory install”, 360 version’s is optional?

This could be very funny. “Skip” - Andrew Pfister, the writer of 1up’s GTA IV preview - has posted on Neogaf saying that the PS3 version of GTA IV features a five-minute mandatory install. Unsurprisingly, teh internets have gone grade A crackers for it.

We’re also reliably informed this morning that the 360 version features an “optional install” as well. We’ll drop Rockstar a note asking for confirmation.

Re: Let's talk about... Grand Theft Auto 4

Why would you write the name of the comedian when he put it as a spoiler?
