    Is anyone else excited about this game. It looks awesome, it has the graphics of GTA4 but has much better online gameplay. I read that it is in the closed Beta stages right now but when its in open Beta im gonna give it a try

    So are you complimenting GTA 4 graphics... or.. what? You said "but" as if the graphics were a downside lol.

    maybe better online multiplayer was the downside...

    at any rate, the graphics of the game don't stand up to GTA4 imo. They were clean, which is nice, but it looked a tad aged in my opinion. Where are the awesome lighting / particle effects? Nowhere.

    No word on gameplay.

    I myself can't wait for the game to come out. The only games that I anticipate the most for the PC next year is APB and Bad Company 2. I think the most interesting aspect for me is the deep customization that the game offers as shown here:

    I will hold of on the excitement until after I see some realistic system requirements for this one. It does look good though.
