Grand Theft Auto IV


Recommended Posts

it will be good to see what type it is.

its either

X) very detailed and about same size as GTA 3/VC/SA with alot more interaction with environment and graphical detail.

Y) Fairly good detail with quite good hardware pushing but with massive huge f**k sized world to explore.

I can understand it would be good if they used full size of blu-ray on ps3 to expand this ability but i understand being cross platform they have to take 360's 9GB into account so i guess we will just have to see. :)

actually, wouldn't it be

GTA III - 70's

GTA VC - 80's

GTA SA - 90's

GTA IV - 00's Present Days?

no you got it all wrong, GTA1 was set in LibertyCity ViceCity and SanAndreas, GTA2 was set in the future.

and GTAIII was set in the 90's

Free running? Oh man, that'd be awesome, couldn't imagine it in a GTA game but would be awesome nonetheless.

heeey, freerunning was my idea!!

They would never, even if it was exclusive to PS3, go over 9GB.

Episodic content has already been confirmed for both the 360 and PS3. Good thing those new 120GB Hard Drives are coming out.

I also wonder how they are going to squeeze a high definition version of GTA onto a DVD, I'm sure the last game was around 4 gigs, having it on a single DVD will either make the game look bad, or make it smaller than it should be, but with downloadable content to make it bigger.

Im pretty sure Free-running is called Parkour :p

GTA IV Trailer Not Quick Teaser

14:47 PST | Jordan | X

According to a publisher from Rockstar Games, the big trailer for Grand Theft Auto IV that will be released on Thursday will not be "some infuriatingly quick teaser." I, personally, think that it will be surprising just how much we might get to see of the game.

Thanks to our partner site The GTA Network as well as GamesRadar for the news!

I get the feeling the whole game won't be on just one dvd, the story will continue via LIVE downloaded content.

I don't understand? Surely Oblivion would still be a far more vast game than this will be and they managed to get it onto one disc - and it looks amazing. I think you guys underestimate good compression.

Well, if we look at history

It is not like game sizes have gotten smaller and smaller :D

the thing is with gta not many people would be that offended if the graphics where not vastly improved the graphics engine from the past 3 games has been sufficient what has been improved it the whole gameplay aspect and each element added has improved the game dramatically

if they didnt upgrade the graphics but made bigger maps and crazy new features like fluid movements( free running style) then i would be really happy because its never been about the graphics for me and i imagine many more people

As proven by the so many games on the 360 that require more than one disc :rolleyes:

....

Instead of looking at one generation - look at all of them

Games are getting BIGGER AND BIGGER

Past - floppy discs for games

Present - DVDs and Blu-rays for games

LOL, it was my idea to have it in the game. I hope rockstars pay me for my idea... :rolleyes:

They only use Blu-ray because it is used for the PS3. PC games won't go Blu-ray for a Looong time, that is if it catches on. And it will be a while before a games actually use over 9Gb of a DVD disk.

I guarantee you it will fit on one DVD disc, and that's not because it's multi-platform.

Yes, and this generation, which is what GTAIV is coming out for, is doing perfectly fantastic with DVD9's.

I know I know, Im simply stating that games are getting bigger and bigger

Why would you assume that Oblivion would be much more vast than this game will be?

If they confine it to one city, I could see that, but really, is the Oblivion map that much larger than the San Andreas map? I think it's smaller, but I never really checked...

When it hits zero you probably won't be able to view it anyway...the servers will be crushed from all the requests!!

Just because it says it will be released march 29/07 doesnt mean it will hit the servers at midnight...

but i still cant wait to see what this has to offer

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
