Can you play as a female character? If not, I think they should do a game where the main character is female — and big — and really mad at men, society, etc.

Maybe set it in, say, San Jose….

Say, during the GDC….

With lots of geeky-looking guys wearing pencil protectors in their fully-buttoned plaid dress shirts. (Here I’m trying to portray the geek stereotype as fully as games often portray the buxom female stereotype. Both of these, are, of course, thoroughly reprehensible.)

Maybe there could even be a girl-gang theme, which would allow the representation of scantily-clad females on the pretext that “that’s really how they look!”

Although I can’t believe this hasn’t been done before.

While I know the formula is successful, I would still like to see something new that would make me want to play through GTAIII (I mean IV) again. No reason why it can’t evolve a bit. And I’m not sure what “innovations” I would suggest either, I am a gamer not a game designer.

Why wouldn’t they make a GTA style game? It IS GTA.

The trailer just confirms to the world that GTA4 is a real entity and it IS going to come out.

Not sure what “innovations” you are expecting since they are just as successful having the same formula for all their GTA titles.

Tend to disagree. Its aim at movie trailer look&feel failed IMO. Looks like neither game nor movie.

The PS3 port will be a disaster.

The lighting is pretty good, but it’s going to suffer from frame rate problems and the textures looked a bit bland. Hopefully they can do something a bit innovative and not make just another GTA style game. I see this one not living up to the hype Assassin’s Creed style.

Nice guy; lots of freckles.
