Grand Theft Auto IV


Recommended Posts

Even though nothing is known about GTA4 you just know it's going to rock!! I wonder whats going to be new....I always thought it would be cool to put all the freerunning Parkour abilities into GTA.

Parkour would be awesome!

If anyone is wondering what it is, watch the opening scene in Casino Royale.

The 'african american'(?) dude is doing it on the construction site while running from Mr Bond :o

The Warriors game had a great system for jumping over fences and such. It was very fluid - I wish they would adapt it into GTA..

I know it will be released for both but I still believe the PS3 version will have more features than the 360, I don't think the PS3 version will be toned down to match the 360 standards, I think if anything the 360 version will come with multiple discs.

LOL toned down for the 360...I am not even gonna begin to explain the thousands of things wrong with that statement. :rolleyes:

Dam Oct. Is Just too far away ehh but yeah nonetheless its going to be an amazing game.Would be cool if it was in the bay area,Id go to yahoo and burn it to the ground and then take a few hookers to Google and party it up.

1 thing i know is that we defo need some long american roads... somewhere we can open up those sports cars and bikes! and i bet theres dogs in it this time, and i hope you can get one to attack people... :D

There's actually plenty of road in GTA:SA for the sports cars and motorcycles. And for people saying not to set it in the UK because they don't want to drive backwards...people in the UK playing these games have to deal with that. People act like that's a US only thing.

It's actually very fun to drive on the side you see as backwards to see how fast you can go and how long you can go without hitting any car coming at you. It's also a good way to build up your characters driving abilities if you manage to drive that way for long amounts of time at high speed wihtout hitting anything. I was getting to the point where I could easily ride a motorcycle or car around like that for 30 minutes at a time. Haven't played it in a while so I doubt I could do that again.

i know there is plenty of road but i want more :D, just to be able to drive a motorbike along a very long road for some time, and take like little road trips in the game, would be great.

They both will have DLC exclusive to each console.

No, only the 360 ...and please prove me wrong

While GTAIV's planned debut on the 360 was news enough, Moore went one further. He announced that "Microsoft and Rockstar have entered into an exclusive deal to provide episodic content via Xbox Live Marketplace" for GTAIV. At X06, Microsoft detailed the exclusive content as "two epic episodes of GTAIV via Xbox Live, each with hours of new gameplay available only on Xbox 360 just months after [GTAIV's] release."

:::apparently I didn't completely read the whole link i posted...it proves me wrong right there. I hope the rumor isn't true...I don't want exclusive stuff to each console

Now, a report has surfaced that may make the 360 GTAIV episodes not appear to be as much of a coup as they seemed. Citing a source close to GTA developer Rockstar North, Eurogamer reports that the PS3 edition of GTAIV will be getting its own episodic content in "the form of brand new areas which will link into the main GTAIV game world." According to the source, one should "think of the [GTA IV]world as a large island--the new downloadable areas will be like smaller islands linking into it."

LOL. Have you seen the comparisons of the two consoles? They're pretty much the same in terms of graphics, and I really really really doubt it'll come on multiple DVD's.

We are talking bout space not graphical quality here. If Rockstar filled the blu ray up then in order to have it on the 360 it wud need to be toned down to fit, not graphical quality. Get a grip fanboys.

What PC game takes more than one dual layer dvd? PC games run at over 1080p resolutions, and they have yet to be on multiple dvd-'s/blu-ray/hd-dvd. You should look up "padding to reduce load times" to understand why ps3 games require more space.

I don't live under a rock. Ten to one, I know more about compression than you do. I only edit audio/video for a living :p

Since when are PC games a factor? We are talking console. If Rockstar took full advantage of bly ray, maybe even dual layer, 50 GB, if they wanted to fit it on a 10GBDVD it requires compression, now what if it was already compressed to fit on 50GB, it wud need to be compressed even more then wouldn't it? I'm saying it wud be stupid of Rockstar to limit the games size on the PS3 just so its the same as the 360. You may no more about compression, but not as much about business, I do that for a living :p

Nonetheless lets stop this arguing, I dun really want to get into it anymore than I already have. Back to the topic.

    • Windows 11 is a big thumbs down from me. I used for a period of a few days while it was in insider and windows 10 was the main OS, and realised it wasn't for me. I am still waiting for Windows to be tolerable again, a shame as at one point I was very pro Microsoft.  
    • Classic outlook, not only does it have a much fuller feature set, it doesn't include Microsoft attempting to sync my emails from my servers to theirs. If classic outlook is ever removed from office, and the version I paid for in 2021 stops working for some reason, I'll use Thunderbird.

Visual effects include options for masking, blue-screen, distortions, rotations, colour tools, blurring, obscuring and others. Configurable keyboard shortcuts and interface layouts. Rendering is done using a separate non-blocking process so it can be stopped, paused and restarted. Kdenlive also provides a script called the Kdenlive Builder Wizard (KBW) that compiles the latest developer version of the software and its main dependencies from source, to allow users to try to test new features and report problems on the bug tracker. Project files are stored in XML format. An archiving feature allows exporting a project among all assets into a single folder or compressed archive.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.
