I think a couple of you guys are missing the point. See the last line of the post?

"Oh April Fool's Day pranksters, you'll have to do better than that."

Trying to point out Joystiq's stupidity only makes you look stupid yourself, because you clearly don't even know how to read.

Anyway, yeah, this is not even a good April fool's day prank. When did people start forgetting that they actually need to make April fool's jokes, you know, seem like a real thing? Otherwise they're not really jokes on anybody.

I did read the last line of the post oh coming to Joystiq's savior.

That was my point. They went though all this fact counting (cause they probably need to explain it to the clueless fanboys on here), when they could have just said "we know this is a joke" in the first place.

And seen the "who is" record with those 2 domains would have made it all the easier.

But your right, that one sentence, zomg, lost t3h credibilitiez, theyz fooled on m3h! O.o

Touch?ebrunner! Although, I would add, that the series has taken on a whole other life since then.

London, 1969 was an awesome game though!

OMG!!! I CAN"T WAIT FOR THIS GAME TO COME OUT!!! BEING SET IN CHICAGO, DO YOU THINK IT WILL INVOLVE GANGSTERS!?!

(Now the more important question is this: Was my post serious or yet another April Fools related one? What a conundrum. Let the infinite loop of insanity and sarcasm continue!)

here some info i got from this site http://www.thegtaplace.com/index.php made not be a pank
afterall read:::

Wow! Amazing news! A few weeks ago I found the domains www.gtachicago.com and www.grandtheftautochicago.com had been registered and were parked at Register.com (see screenshot) which as you know is where Rockstar have also parked gta4.com. After contacting Rockstar they told me to keep quiet so I reluctantly did...

But now today, Rockstar Games have announced just one of the cities for the next installment of the series, GTA4. Chicago, the windy city. Unlike previous GTA games where cities have been based upon real life one, GTA4 will take place in real life cities. The storyline from Rockstar sounds intriguing, the game will apparently span across three different eras.


Chicago, 1933. Since January 16, 1920, alcohol has been illegal to consume, gangs rule the streets, and homicide rates are soaring. Johnny Roselli has just escaped a lifetime prison sentence after being falsely accused of murdering his own family. He's now returned to lead his Mafia gang back with a vengance to bring an end to the prohibition, and by any means necessary, even if it means wiping out rival gangs.

The next two eras have been kept kind of secret by Rockstar, although we hear they are 1970 and 2010, also, Rockstar have currently left the titles of these cities un-announced, probably to let all this hype circulate. We'll be bringing you more news on these exciting revelations as soon as we have it though, so stay tuned!

While this "release" is a joke, Chicago would be a great setting for GTA. I live here and have thought that many times while running around downtown and the surrounding area.

"Suspicion core overload. Evacuate Zebes."
Crap. Now I have the escape music from metroid stuck in my head!
Doo dooo dooooo. Doo dooo doooo....

But anyway, revealing a game on april fools day is the dumbest thing any company could do. Even if it's real, no one would believe them!

It may have been the evening of March 31st to you, but it was April 1st in other parts of the world...

You say: "Oh April Fool's Day pranksters, you'll have to do better than that." But that's not the point of April Fools. April Fools gags aren't designed to honestly fool knowledgeable people - they're designed to catch out the 1% of gullible uninformed people. Of *course* you, with your knowledge of web domains and your general intelligence, didn't get fooled - you weren't supposed to!

Tee Hee...Zebes...Doo dooo dooooo...Doo dooo doooo...mmm time for some Hunters...Oh yeah they need GTA: The Prostitutes Strike Back (The prostitute simulator where you have to avoid the every night dangers such as being ran over, meeting up with an angry wife, and being ran over after services rendered; all the while trying to please Mr. Pimp)...I'd play that...
