Word. I have no doubt that GTA IV will be quality, but will it go to the next level or stagnate? Entrophy affects everything and GTA is not immune. If they put into the next game the same
vibe as Vice City, I'll gladly take my words back but if its just a bigger badder version of San andreas then forget about it.
This is a Wired
article on the Rockstar founders and is a very good read.

To create their next game, the Housers jetted members of their development team to Miami on a fact-finding mission. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City would be a fun-house-mirror version of Florida circa 1986, drawing on TV’s Miami Vice, the film Scarface, and other ’80s iconography. The secret to a Rockstar game is the style, mood, and setting — what the Housers call its “vibe.” When Vice City was released in October 2003, its white-sand beaches, period hairstyles, and vintage clothing were impeccable. Seven CDs’ worth of music from the era blared from car radios and nightclubs, everything from REO Speedwagon to Rick James. Voice-overs featured talent like Dennis Hopper as a seedy porn film director, Burt Reynolds as a corrupt land baron, and Philip Michael Thomas as the treacherous sidekick of the protagonist, voiced by Ray Liotta. Porn star Jenna Jameson recorded dialog for the aptly named character Candy Suxxx.
