Yeah man, Carcer is a strong possibility you know, hopefully we will know more when the trailer is out.

Well right now I'm playing VCS, trying to get all the 99 red balloons.

Alright man, no problems. Well Carcer City is speculated to be based on one of these cities, Newark, Detroit, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh or Cleveland. And yeah man, Carcer was mentioned in GTA III, Vice City, San Andreas, LCS and finally VCS. But Carcer is also the fictional city in the Manhunt-series, but they only showed a couple of blocks in Manhunt, so we'll see what happens. Oh yeah man, and here's a list of how Carcer was referred in the past GTAs: **GTA III** * A news segment on the in-game radio station Lips 106 reports that "police chief Gary Schaeffer was cleared of corruption charges in a controversial decision by the courts." This is an obvious allusion to a prominent character in this game, even though Grand Theft Auto III precedes Manhunt's release date by two years. * There is a "ghost town" in Liberty City, which is sometimes erroneously dubbed Carcer City. **Vice City** * A mattress store has a poster that reads, "The Best Mattresses in Carcer". **San Andreas** * In the beginning of the game, a radio advertisement for Carcer City makes references to steel mills being closed and "dining in the glow of the Flaming River," which may be the best indication of the city's inspiration. Many steel mills in the Midwest closed during the era when the game was set, including those in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Cleveland, Ohio, and Detroit, Michigan, Newark. The "Flaming River" is a clear reference to the "Burning River", a period in the 1970s where the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland, Ohio was polluted enough that it caught fire. * Also in the beginning, a woman on the WCTR show "The Wild Traveler" calls from Carcer City asking why would anyone want to vacation there. * When bumped into, a pedestrian says "Hey! This isn't Carcer City OKAY!" * On the Shores of Palamino Creek north of Los Santos there are several large objects with the words "Carcer City" on them. * In Zero's RC store, there is an action figure of James Earl Cash, along with Piggsy, Tommy Vercetti and Lance Vance. * One pedestrian is noted to say (after CJ murders somebody) "I'm moving to Carcer City". * A radio ad appears near the end of the game talking about Carcer City that is along the lines of "This is real America!" which is said at the end of the ad. * In the first cutscene at the airport, it is seen on the arrivals board that one flight is from Carcer City. **GTA: LCS** Civilian Ken calls "The Electron Zone" on LCFR (asking about the Internet) and states that he is "calling from Carcer City." **GTA: VCS** Various pedestrians claim to have previous occupations in Carcer City; some say, "I was a plumber in Carcer City!'

Yeah man, I'm sure GTA IV will be great no matter what. Well as far as I know nothing is 100% true you know, Boston would certainly have been a great location, especially with snow, but right now nothing is 100% sure, all we can do is to wait and speculate. But sure, I've mentioned this in an earlier post, it could be Carcer City, why? It's been mentioned in the past GTAs, all the way from GTA III to VCS, yeah man. And also, NYC (Liberty City) is a possibility, there were some rumors on the web before that someone from R* involved with the soundtrack mentioned GTA IV is going for a NYC feel you know. And also London has a chance of course, but if GTA IV will go Europe I hope more for something like Moscow or Sicily.

Well, we're guessing cuz it's fun man, all we can do now is to wait and speculate, know what I'm saying. And yeah man, Mexico City would be a great location for GTA IV, it's filled with crime and has a large population, but no snow, but I can live with that if it's going to be Mexico City you know. And we've been talking about Mexico City before quite a lot, and for those who want to see more pictures of Mexico City, go to this page: Page 21 - Pictures of Mexico City.

Ahh that's too bad man, well I guess now you know next time you format your harddrive you should always put them on a floppy disk, or USB-memory. Well, I'm not really sure what mission you're talking about, I haven't played the missions in SA for a while. Just in case you didn't know, there are save files to download from this site, check out the download section, or even better I give you the link, Download , if none of those save files is correct just ask me and I might be able to play SA to the right destination you're talking about, and I give you the save file.

Yeah man, you went to Liberty in SA and that was pretty damn fun. But GTA IV is a new chapter you know, so I'm not sure what's going to happen, but yeah man, that would be fun of course.

Yeah man, this is bumping, but I see this as a good bump, know what I'm saying. He didn't bump this topic and said "Hey my name is Earl". He had some ideas which he wanted to describe in this topic, I don't see anything wrong with that. And GTA IV hasn't even been released yet so this topic can go on for a pretty damn long time you know. Anyway man, yeah that sounds like some good ideas you know.

Right now some Bruce Lee movie, Tower of Death, it's about to begin so I can't really say much about it.

Well I hope it's certainly going to be bigger than SA, and 2x 3x bigger sounds pretty damn good. And if it's going to be one big city, then they could divide it into sections, like they did with Vice and Liberty. I'm not sure if R* has decided to still have this "unlock missions to unlock the next section etc", but we'll see.

Well I'm not so sure about that we will get a real picture of who is going to win the console war already in 2008, we'll see. And Xbox 360 is going to be out for a pretty damn long time, according to Peter Moore Microsoft is planning to release a new console but not until 2012, that's a long time, so this is just the beginning.

Yeah man, been relaxing and playing VCS all day. Just finished all the dirtbike races, and now I'm pissing off the bikers.

Well I'm not one of those who want GTA IV to take place in a whole country, know what I'm saying. It's nothing wrong with having one big city, but I know what you're saying man, more variation is great, like SA had. Edit: Oh and welcome to the forums man!

Well actually, PS3 were first released in 2006. And Jace, I'm not sure if I like that expression of yours when you're saying the PS3 and Xbox 360 are meant for real gaming, you should know that real gaming isn't just about graphics and physics you know.

Well yeah man, The Simpsons movie, oh yeah, I'm looking forward to see the movie. I'm a really big fan of The Simpsons, so I really hope this is going to be a good one.

Another Xbox later? Yeah well, that's going to take some time you know. According to Peter Moore they're planning to release a new console in 2012, now that's a 7 year long lifetime for Xbox 360, which is more than the first Xbox had. And I think that's some great news man, now some gamers don't need to feel that pressure when buying Xbox 360 you know, it's just the beginning.

Playing VCS atm, and this time I didn't forget to save I think I only have one mission left

I'd like to see they move out from the US, I wouldn't mind. And London is not bad, not bad at all, and I think if it will take place in the UK then London has probably the biggest chance to become the city in GTA IV. It's going to be pretty damn interesting you know, and I've mentioned before where I think GTA IV will take place in, so yeah man, we can just wait and speculate, oh yeah.

Yeah man, I'd love to buy a PS3 and all (mostly because of MGS4 and FFXIII) but before I buy one, I really want an LCD-TV with full-HD, but is it really necessary to get full-HD? Is 1080p really that remarkable? I've heard from other ppl that 720 is enough, 1080p is only necessary if you're going to sit and play real close in front of the TV. Too bad these 1080p is so damn expensive, dammit.

Yeah man, London is a possibility you know, or maybe it's going to take place somewhere else in the UK... Who knows.

No shit, that's some interesting news. Well then... That makes things a little bit different eh... I see. Agree man, I'd love to see something like Detroit you know, hopefully with snow and everything, and the crime there... Oh man. But I wouldn't mind having Liberty back again.

Hehe yeah man, this GTA real estate thing seems pretty damn fun you know. Nice videos, really nice man.

Yeah man, that's a possibility 2003. Which one would you like to see the most? I'd love to see Carcer, you only saw a couple of blocks in Manhunt, I don't know how much we will see in Manhunt 2. But Carcer City would have been a damn nice location for GTA IV, and Liberty City of course, and if it's going to be Liberty again, I've mentioned it before and I'm sure you ppl can guess it, then I want some damn snow. Here's the list where I think GTA IV will take place in: Liberty City (New York) Carcer City (Detroit) London Idaho Tokyo, China

I Wanna Get High - Cypress Hill.

Are you talking about the whole country? I don't think that's going to happen, yeah man, agree that it would rock a little bit. But this is what I think, I think we will see a new city/cities, probably Carcer or... Maybe New York (Liberty City) again? There were rumors about it on the web a couple of days ago, so you never know. I hope for something like Detroit, and Carcer is speculated to be based on Detroit, and some other cities, that would be great man. Also, Tokyo, China is a possibility (mentioned in VCS), or London. Anyway man, it's up to R*, and no matter where it's going to take place I'm sure it's going to be fckn brilliant.
