Rockstar’s Dan Houser explains ‘defining moment’ in GTA IV

With Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto IV (Xbox 360, PS3) winding up for its highly anticipated release this April, Dan Houser revealed a couple of juicy tidbits about some of the game’s critical and “defining moments”. Read all about it in the full article.

In a recent interview conducted by PlayStation 3 Magazine UK, they were able to talk to Dan Houser, Vice President of creativity of Rockstar Games. It was only natural that they discussed the hottest title sitting in Rockstar’s lap right now: Grand Theft Auto IV (Xbox 360, PS3).

Houser talked about the many unique and “perfect” moments in the game, given the open sandbox type of gameplay that happens in the middle of all the action. During the interview, he let slip a particularly defining moment for him which hints about the game’s pivotal and key scene.

He started telling a story of a random firefight between the cops and robbers (a random gang, actually) that happened to him while playing the game. When asked if that was his “defining moment” for GTA IV, he had this to say: “Well, that, or the bit in the game when Niko’s past catches up with him and he must figure out what to do… but I don’t want to spoil the surprise”.

We guess this means we’ll all have to keep sitting on the edge of our seats for more GTA IV teasers from Rockstar. No worries, though. We’ll be sure to keep our eyes out for anything new from the game.
