Karl Lagerfeld to play DJ in GTA IV News

Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Ellie Gibson

9 April, 2008

Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld will play a DJ in Grand Theft Auto IV.

That's according to New York Magazine, which reports you'll be able to hear him talk and listen to songs he's selected while driving around.

Apparently Lagerfeld "picked his favourite electronica and dance music and peppered the selection with some of his rapid-fire commentary".

The designer is quoted as saying it was "friendship at first sight" when he met with Rockstar to negotiate the deal. He describes the GTA titles as "games of our times", adding, "Those games in a way changed the world."

Lagerfeld continued, "They had written a politically incorrect dialogue. I loved it, [particularly] in a time when everybody wants to be so politically correct when they talk.

"I prefer to be in a video [game, presumably] than to play with it. I would love to be a very nasty, politically incorrect character."

Grand Theft Auto IV is still out on PS3 and Xbox 360 on April 29th. It will still be out on PS3 and Xbox 360 on April 29th tomorrow. And the day after that. And the day after that. And so on. Until April 29th, when Grand Theft Auto IV is out on PS3 and Xbox 360.

Wow, how edgy and new, I wonder if they will be bold enough to include political satire, after all, no GTA game has done that before

Is this comment due to the fact that April 29th isn't getting closer!? Hurry up April 29th - I wanna run people over - in a game :-)

Oh dear.

I didn't know that 2000 year old Karl was somehow "trendy" in any way??? Is this some internet thing I missed? Like the ORLY owl and Rick?

Hopefully he's back hosting a full radio station. The reduced role in San Andreas was a bit of a letdown.

Somethings been bugging me for AGES about this GTA. Surely its number 6, not 4? GTA, GTA2, GTA3, GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas and now GTA4.

The maths don't add up! Unless Vice City and San Andreas aren't really proper GTA's, but I thought they were!!!

Honestly, it's not difficult. The games are numbered in generations. The number only increases when they do a completely new engine. It's really:

GTA '1' series: GTA, GTA London 1969 (the one noone talks about)
GTA '2' series: GTA 2
GTA '3' series: GTA 3, Vice City, San Andreas, Liberty City Stories, Vice City Stories, [San Andreas Stories for PSP?]
GTA '4' series: GTA 4

hummmm, Crackdown soundtrack will probably remain the best of next-gen gaming. DJ Shadow + Krush miles beter that Karl Lagerfeld.

In GTA 1, there were 3 cities, Liberty City, Vice City and San Andreas.
In GTA 2 i don't really remember.
In GTA 3 you were in Liberty City and then there were the other ones ( Vice City and San Andreas).
So, this is GTA 4.

GTA: London was great why isn't anyone talking about it?
