New Grand Theft Auto IV Website Launched

Rockstar Games have finally launched the official website for so much anticipated Grand Theft Auto IV. Not just a teaser, as before, the new site has great chances of convincing the users visit it more than once.

The site, which was opened on Friday, offers an incredible amount of new information such as screenshots, videos and in-game movies. As the site’s visitor, one gets previews of Liberty City, as well as of the people, surroundings and entertainment that one will encounter there.

There’s also a download section, where the fans can get wallpapers, screensavers, buddy icons and avatars. Unfortunately, the Multiplayer and Music links are not yet available, displaying the “coming soon” message, when you roll over them, to the disappointment of the impatient fans.

Predictions made online by fans and game experts say that GTA IV will contain multiplayer racing, death-matches and objective-based missions.

The game is written by Dan Houser, Rockstar co-founder and the action takes place in Liberty City, a fictional city mostly based on New York and New Jersey. Around 150 game-developers have worked on the game. The trailer features the main character Niko Bellic, saying this short monologue: "Life is complicated; I killed people, smuggled people, sold people. Perhaps here, things will be different."

GTA IV was supposed to be launched on Oct.16 2007, but the launching date has been delayed, due to "due to additional development time required to complete the title." The new date the company set for releasing the game in the market is April 29 2008. The game will be available for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
