Today in Joystiq: April 23, 2008

A bus with the GTA4 ads drove next to me yesterday in the loop - so much for their ban.

You mean Game Fuel?

Despite the Halo 3 propaganda that stuff was pretty tasty.

yeah, i like swedish fish as much as the next swedish fish fan, but turning it into a soda was just a horrible idea

We said it was liquid gummy bears. I loved it. I loved my first 4 20oz that I bought 4 12 packs... Those 12 packs lasted 6 months.

Thanks.

Look at some of the titles coming in the future. Titles that are 6 months away or more. Now look how many attention movies get this sort of attention that are 6 months away. I am not saying Movies suck, there actually pretty nice especially since I get paid to make help some. I am just saying times are changing. Games are becoming the new main event. Will they destroy movies or music? No, all these forms of entertainment have place. Games though are entering the start of what some people will refer to much down the road as the golden time in gaming.

Just don't F it up by blaming your stupidy on games... it wont work for much longer.

I feel odd about saying this to a game where your the anti hero but it's been said about movies, books, and songs with questionable content. Why not with GTA4. Man I cant wait for Game Developer Hero or a Sims 4 expansion called The Game Industry.

I can see the corner right piece of this ad from my office in downtown LA. I'm looking at it right now and I can say it looks bad ass!

I really enjoyed reading this comment.

I responded in the comment above by mistake. W00ps

I hate you, at least upload a video or two of running people over. I NEED MY FIX *cocks gun*

I don't care about the game either, although it's less about the gameplay (which I admit I know little about) and more about the fact that the idea of the game doesn't appeal to me. I'm just not that eager to play a two-bit criminal in some crappy city.

" don't tread on me "

those are walls. wtf?

Not always.

Also surely a fire hazard and if one did fall down for whatever reason then people below are fucked.

Look closely, what does the sign at the top of the building say? HOTEL! Sorry but that pretty much makes your comment pointless, thanks for coming out! Lol

Ok, for one, those are not posters, those are brick walls with mural paintings of the advertising. I know some of you aren't from big cities, but mural paintings of advertisements are pretty common and believe it or not many buildings have entire faces with no windows. Welcome to the big city.

replying to genius:

-you dont know say...and i bet all you city folk drive big ol' cadillacs and dont chew on giant pieces of wheat or chewing tabacca(purposely misspelled) and yell yeeeeeee haaaaw every time your sister winks at you. shoooot git ur done!

I'm not sure about that building, but the ones that are on the Sunset Strip are usually unoccupied. It's a great way for the property to "pay for itself" while it sits empty. Hippies do not like them, and they are technically illegal, but it is like doing 75 in a 65, no one really cares. I was over in Koreantown yesterday, seen all of the posters posted up next to eachother on a construction panel. Awesome.

argh damnit, the only one I've got to see so far is that one with the guy stealing the SUV and just driving for ages, I mean... if you're going to put footage of the game on the internet, be doing something fun in it =(

Disregard what I have said, Gametrailers is now riddled with gameplay footage =D
