GTA IV will send tabloids mad says Dan Houser

Published at 8:20 AM PST

Dan Houser was recently talking to MCVUK and has said that he expects an OTT reaction by the press. We aren't partially surprised about this because all GTA games have caused a stir in the media in some form or another. Hot coffee anyone?

"If the graphics are slightly cartoony, we make sure the writing is slightly cartoony to match that," he commented. "Obviously, the graphics have gone closer to realism, so we wanted everything else to be closer to realism as well."

"I expect it because we've had so much of it in the past," said Houser. "I wish people would treat video games the same as other media. They seem to not want to do that for reasons that I don't understand. It's a convenient enemy for people."

We totally agree with this statement. Manhunt 2 is just one of many examples. Just to let you know the release date for GTA IV (If you don't already have it written on your wall) again it is April 29th
