Yeah, GTA 4 is certainly going to take some serious hours put into it to complete. Well after having so much fun at other Lan events (DarkLan) Im keen.
Oh he probably wont see this but goodluck to Trance, and have a good time at the bucks party Pidgeo.

Yes Yes Yes. I would like to have more LANNY LAN LAN's .

I will definitely keep my fingers crossed that your opportunity comes off and becomes a reality mate.

Good luck!!

We need to have some more games on FIFA 08

The original GTA on Playstation was an incredibly fun game. I've always been a fan of top down games(zone 66, diablo, micromachines, dune series, raiden... the list goes on) and we don't see enough of them anymore. Or now they are full 3D and you can zoom right in. GTA bought a new dimension to the top down games and it is amazing to see the similarities 4 versions on from the original.

Yeh i'm inf or a LAN although i am located in Victoria Pidgeo

Go Man U! I can't wait for this game, i saw the Chelsea vs Liverpool game this morning and it was a great game to watch, Frank Lampard is a superstar but Ronaldo phwarrr!

I have to say I was a HUGE fan of the original GTA on PC, and I played it for hours.

I played Vice City on PC a little bit, but never really got into the 3D GTA titles until now.

Last night I sat down to play GTA4, and I'm very impressed by it, but I wonder whether we we ever see an XBLA version of the original. THAT would be sweet.

A feature which should have been included in the current release, is a camera mode called "Retro Top-down" in which once you get into a car, the screen reverts to old-school 2D gta top-down mode. Then when you hop out of the car, it switches back to 3D.

Dude, LANs are awesome and I live near the Goldy (basically on, I'm in Tweed). So if you have a LAN on the Goldy I'm there!

What a freakin cool idea.

Unfortunately when you are under ground, under freeways, inside etc you wouldn't be able to see yourself in GTA4. You could fade this out but would make even more difficult if you were trying to go up a level. Also there are so many nooks and crannys you would get stuck a lot. Let alone when trying to shoot someone with head shots in the 3d world. Unfortunately GTA 4 is too complex for this to work.

Is an awesome game though. The mutiplayer setup system sux though. I guess I'm too used to the Halo 3 setup which worked a treat.

Pidgeo! Haven't seen you round lately and we're all in anticipation about your news Re: LANS, there is another one coming up this month @ Players Lounge, Sydney. We should have some more info up soon on it, but just thought I'd put it out there.

Sorry, it's not a DarkLAN, but it's slated to be just as good
