Jared Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 The Grand Theft Auto IV debut trailer is still 19 days away, but we've already got a good idea of where the game might take place. Tokyo has been rumored along with Paris, London, and other European locations, but if a new rumor is true, then New York is looking like the winner. NeoGAF user VALIS is claiming to know this inside information: "Friend of mine was just contacted today to be on the GTAIV soundtrack. He was in the 1980s NY hardcore band Breakdown. He had a laugh at the lowball offer, but of course he's not gonna pass it up. Might not mean anything. But if you did want to play Kojak... Late 1980s setting? New York again? Nah. Not necessarily." Complete lie? Was Rockstar Games just testing the Internet for rumors? Will we buy the game even if it takes place in Antarctica? All are very possible. Thanks to reader Lawl for the tip!All I know is that if I don't get to blow up the Statue of Liberty I'm trading it in after I beat it. When I'm old and frail I want to die in one of two ways, but preferably both. Either by riding my wheelchair into a tornado, since that would be awesome. Or by jumping off the top of the Statue of Liberty and ruining the tourist attraction for the whole country. I don't care if there's restriction fencing, my 170 year old ass will saw through it if I have to. People ride over Niagara Falls and jump into the Grand Canyon all the time, but there can only be one shithead who jumps off the Statue of Liberty before they shut down its tours forever. After that the Statue of Liberty is basically a Tom Fronczak grave monument memorial, and I rob the entire country of their symbol of pride. Let's see you pay for a better tombstone than mine. - TheLastBoss.com Your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Yeah it's weird that this guys band is from the 80's, and that it was New York based. Mind you, R*'s offices are in New York, so maybe just hooking up with a local artist here? And there's a possibilty it could be for an 80's station, such as Flash, rather than having yet another GTA set in the 80's. It provokes a few thoughts anyway.

Harwood Butcher Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Yeah this doesn't really mean anything. Every other GTA game has had artist from other states, countries, whatever than that of the one the game is based in along with having songs from other decades. Just like Chris said, they're probably just getting local artist first and then spreading out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E.J. Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Yeah I doubt that the game is even gonna be in a time before GTA 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K9 Krew Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Well it dos'nt matter to me when it is set cuase i'm pretty sure anyone will buy it becuase it is GTA 4 i mean like come on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harwood Butcher Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 And think about how much different Liberty City would be with better graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroScorpion Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 R* didn't put any name to GTA3 (like: Vice City, San Andreas) and that game was in NY do you see what do I thinking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 (edited) I hope it ain't NYC. We already had that as Liberty City and if they did real life NCY than that would probably ruin GTA forever. Edited March 11, 2007 by 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroScorpion Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 No NYC will never destroy GTA. NYC hac a lot of crime, drugs and people to kill... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTAPlayer Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Nothing is wrong with NY man, it's a great city for a game like GTA you know, it's a really big crime filled city. But damn, again? I mean, come on man, Liberty City was based on New York. And NY has been used in other games as well, for an example: Driver, Parallel Lines, True Crime New York City, The Godfather etc, know what I'm saying. Now I'm sure it would be awesome with the next gen graphics and all, but I'm still hoping for another place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Well as long as its Liberty City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTAPlayer Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Of course man, of course! I still hope for a place outside of the US, like Moscow or somewhere in Asia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gycu Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 New York is a cool city but it`s becoming boring,I want to discover something new,but if the city it`s already used,there will be very few new things.I`m sure there are lots of cities that could be used for GTA 4.If it takes place in NY,I`m sure the next location for GTA 4 part 2 is Miami,& the 3rd part in California.R* please use a new city that hasn`t been used in previous GTAs.I hope it doesn`t take place in NY.

GTAPlayer Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 I don't think it's going to take place in Liberty City again. And let's think a bit realistic, I mean, if they're going to have Liberty City again, I'm sure alot of things are new man, alot of things, I mean, ffs this is a GTA for the next gen and I'm sure R* knows that we want something new, so it's gonna be something new man. And yeah, hopefully Moscow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroScorpion Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 It will be new it will have a new engine, maybe new continent, new gangs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTAPlayer Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Yeah I know, it's going to use that RAGE engine from Table Tennis. But what I'm saying is, if Liberty City will be introduced again I'm sure alot of things will be new, know what I'm saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gycu Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 (edited) Will there be more secrets/new things in GTA 4 if it`ll take place in Liberty City rather than taking place in an unused city?Be serious man.It will be 10x more secrets.That`s what we all want.SECRETS& FUN.

GTAPlayer Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 (edited) Whoa man, I've never said anything about secerts, but I know what you're saying man. Yeah that's right, if it will take place in another city than Liberty City I'm sure we will see more secrets and stuff, but Liberty City can deliver, if you know what I'm saying, but I really hope for another city, Moscow is great dammit, it has snow and all, it's outside of the US, it's big and dangerous, crime filled city and all, atm it's nr 1 on my most wanted list. Edit: Oh and IF GTA IV will take place in Liberty City again, then there better be some snow dammit! Edited March 11, 2007 by GTAPlayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrSil Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 I hope they don't use Liberty City again, unless if Liberty City is going to be on a gigantic map (like the one Wu-Zi-Mu has shown us on the other thread) then I wouldn't mind LC. If the guys over at rockstar are going to make that giant map (with Liberty City, Vice City, San Andreas, Snowy Mountain, Falkenberg, DC) then I definately want to play it. They're also going to have to make different radio stations for each landmass. I wouldn't mind a place outside of the US so long as it isn't Britain, I want places like Germany/Austria/Switzerland/Neitherlands or China/Japan/Korea/Taiwan.
