I'm writing this blog with a big smile on my face because by this time tomorrow night I'll be in line at my local GameStop joining thousands for the midnight release of this incredible game. Judging by the game reviews and reactions by the N4G community, the excitement is at a fever pitch.
But as we enjoy and savor every blissful moment with this game, we as gamers must stand ready to defend our beloved franchise at all costs from the ignorant. The same rampant ignorance that motivates people like Jack Thompson, Hillary Clinton, Cooper Lawrence, and Fox News reporters. I fear the evolved realism and violence within GTA4 will further perpetuate the bottom-feeding pests of the gaming industry.
We need games like Grand Theft Auto to constantly push the envelope and expand the boundaries of our games, and I'll be damned if any wretched politician, deceitful author, biased journalist, or psychotic lawyer stops our cherished gaming industry from innovating. Time will tell what controversy the media will dig up and try to exploit out of GTA4 in an attempt to pull it from retail shelves. Perhaps PlayStation fans and XBOX fans will work together and be ready to fight against the real threat to our gaming community.
Happy Grand Theft Auto Eve to everyone. We're in for a bumpy ride.

For Southeast Asia, new price changes.
Prices effective starting May 1st, 2026.
Replies(1)Looks like PlayStation took a hit with Marathon and is now quietly adjusting prices worldwide to recover the losses
Lets be honest raising prices doesn't do that when no one's buying it. I imagine the profit it greater selling 10 times more at a lower price
The price increases are due to the RAM demand associated with AI and the US-Iran war. You can look to any business news website and local news to see that. Heck, even the 2026 Asus Zenbook Duo I've been eyeing has faced delays and has had a price increase of $400; that laptop has two specs. Asus is doing a staggered release with per-orders for the lower spec now and shipping in May and pre-orders for the higher spec that I'm eyeing starting in June. Basically, all computer manufactures are affected. It'll most likely start affecting smart phones too if it hasn't already. I can't remember the last time any major console maker (Nintendo, Sony, Sega, etc) increased the price of their console mid cycle outside of Microsoft just to make more profit.
CGMagazine writes: "And as I said, the actual game of Kiln is so genuinely boring that playing it to unlock the creative tools was such a massive chore that I genuinely started to resent it by the end. Battling is a monotonous button masher. There are only five arenas, and despite being based on different gods from various mythologies, none are particularly memorable in visual style or music. And it’s all just such a homogeneous mess of nothing."
Midnight release is tonight bro. Not tomorrow....
