"Think of the world as a large island - the new downloadable areas will be like smaller islands linking into it," the source explained. (Which is a structural analogy, rather than a suggestion that the game is set on an island, we hasten to add.)

It's no secret that the Grand Theft Auto series has come under intense pressure from the media, lawyers trying to get a leg up on their career, and even Washington. Most of it revolves around its exposure to children.

There are some really interesting things happening at the IGN GTA Board right now. User nasty_wrx05 had posted a thread a while back that contained some very nice pictures of Niko Bellic, Liberty City and its inhabitants. A handful of the shots showcased the result of using the popular swingset car cannon (scroll down a bit to get to the car cannon entry), a glitch that involves driving a car into a swingset, and having the set launch the car very rapidly into the air...

Sam on July 2005: "Residue code found in San Andreas. Hackers modify it and it turns into scandal known as ‘Hot Coffee’. Get dragged into legal nightmare, ending in trip to Washington in February 2006 to sit in front of federal trade commission staff – for nine hours."
Rockstar committed to episodic content for GTA before GTA IV was finished; how did that impact the way you write and plan for the first GTA IV game?
"You’ll see in a few months."
"All aspects of games can be pushed a lot further. We are only scratching the surface of what is possible in this medium. Of all things, storytelling is one of the areas that in some ways has the furthest to go. Using choices like that is something more or less unique to games, but the art is in combining a strong, cinematic narrative with choices, so players get the best of both models – the best story that feels like it is evolving around them as they play based on their decisions.

In order to be successful, we are going to have to continue to do what we have always done – make games that we would want to play, and hope there is audience for them. We don’t believe in focus testing ideas (it’s like asking an audience what album they want to hear – they don’t know until they hear it!) or thinking of a target market or anything like that; it’s an anathema to creativity. We are trying to make commercially viable art, not sell washing powder. While people like what we do, we will continue to do it to the best of our abilities. When they don’t, we will have to stop and do something else."
