On Sunday, April 20th, I boarded a plane which would eventually take me to New York City. A special trip arranged by Rockstar Games specifically for the biggest GTA fan sites on the internet. Once there I had the privilege of playing GTA4 and chatting to many of the Rockstar staff, as well as the other fan site webmasters about the game and various things regarding it. I also had the chance to check out some of the world famous landmarks that are scattered across the city. During my time there, I took down notes of everything that happened, and I can now present to you my in-depth diary of my trip to NYC and meeting some of the guys at Rockstar Games.
It's a pretty long read, but if you're interested in finding out all about my impressions of GTA4, and how well the Rockstar guys treated us, check it out now. You'll also find plenty of photos of NYC, many of which you will recognise from GTA4 screenshots!
Check out similar articles at the other fan sites who joined me on this trip: GTA4.Net, TheGTAPlace.com, GTAGaming.com, PlanetGTA.com, GTAWH.com. --------------------   |

QUOTE Cops N' Crooks was over a bit too quick for us. By the time we found a vehicle near our spawn, the cops had already pretty much mowed the boss down. I of course, a loyal henchman of his,ran the hell away to avoid myself getting killed. Screw the boss, it's every man for himself! Deal Breaker was another fun gametype which is based on Gone In 60 Seconds. You've gotta find a car, steal it, and take it to the lockup. Whoever steals the most wins, but some cars are full of drugs, so steal them for a 10x bonus! Epic. This game just sounds brilliant. Thanks for the great read.

A fantastic read full of laughable moments. It really puts in perspective the endless fun GTA IV has to offer. All my questions have been answered and now I just cant wait to play it. Im not going to have a life after this game comes out.
Thank you Psy for all your hard work put into the best GTA fansite out there. I've had a great time on this forum over these many years. Im certianly jealous and I can't think of anyone that deserved that more than you. Cheers brother! --------------------   |

Psy how you can be a Kopite living in Newcastle and write something as good as that is beyond me ;-)
You are one lucky, lucky bastard. As if an all expenses trip to New York wouldn't be enough, playing what will probably be the game of the decade before any of us minnows is unbelievable! Nice one for passing on your experiences to us Psy. Fucking spot on mate. By the way if your a proper red you should be reading this: http://www.bossmag.co.uk/ I'll sort you some copies if you are interested but too lazy to sort them yourself :-)  |

Wow man! I just read it. It sounds like some writer or something wrote it.
I really liked this "story". When I read it I felt like I was there. You know what I mean. Anyway I wanted to ask, what is the reason because islands are not connected. In GTA III it was bomb thing, in Vice City hurricane, in San Andreas earthquake and the cop said you are not allowed to go out of the city. So what is it now? |

Great read Psy, glad you liked New York. We'd be happy to have you back sometime. It's refreshing to see someone who visited the States and left with a positive experience.
