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

    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
