Grand Theft Auto IV

[Dark Ride]

I was just thinking of stuff I'd like to see in GTAIV, one of which would be some kind of mp3 player in game, so you could listen to the radio outside of the cars and such...

Was thinking about something similar ever since GTA3 and especially GTA Vice City . I sometimes drove around just to hear a song 'till the end and wished I could hear music outside vehicles. An mp3 player would be great. Let's wait and see what that phone in GTA4 can do ...

It's an iPhone! :woot:

Haha just kidding. If it were an mp3 player as well it would probably be a Sony Ericsson. Or heck, it might just be a generic phone of their own creation. :laugh:

I'm really excited about this game though. It should be extremely fun. Everything they've changed has been an improvement, and it really looks like they're doing an excellent job.

"Phony Erection" is a possibility ... :rofl:

It will probably be a lookalike and have a 'similiar' name of a real phone :p

You can already do that with the Xbox 360 since you can stream music off the HDD and/or your computer. So, it's already built-in on the Xbox 360 side. I'm guessing the devs would need to provide some sort of support for it in the game itself to enable similar functionality on the PS3, however.

Id rather have an ingame mp3 player - having to open the sideboard(?) everytime I want to listen to another album will be a pain in the *** - especially since it can get real slow sometimes :/

GTA IV Special Edition

13:51 PST | Jordan |

Grand Theft Auto IV: Special Edition has been announced. The Grand Theft Auto IV Special Edition will be presented in a customized Grand Theft Auto metal safety deposit box. The box will contain:

* Grand Theft Auto IV on the Xbox 360? video game and entertainment system or the PLAYSTATION?3 computer entertainment system, both with special packaging

* The Grand Theft Auto IV Art Book, featuring never-before-seen production artwork from Grand Theft Auto IV

* Selected soundtrack CD from Grand Theft Auto IV, featuring new material from top artists, only available on this release

* An exclusive Rockstar keychain for the safety deposit box keys

* Completing the collection is a limited edition Rockstar duffel bag

The Grand Theft Auto IV Special Edition is available for pre-orders today and will retail for $89.99 in North America. I'm sure that if you want the special edition, you'll need to pre-order as soon as possible due to limited quantities.

I wonder if this will be available to European fans too

I forgot about that, but listening to the ingame radio would need some support.

Yea, I hope so!

[Jimmy0]

I have read that it is set for Europe too, they just haven't announced a price or anything like that.

Dear, ........

Welcome to the official Grand Theft Auto 4? Beta-Test.

.... Bla bla, lots of legal babbel

We will be sending you the Blu-Ray disc containing Grand Theft Auto 4? Beta to the adress specified on the PLAYSTATION?3 - Network in Cooperation with Sony Entertainment?

One can w:(h :(

[what]

Rockstar knows how to make games without running a cheesy beta ala Bungie and EA.

[Remysaus]

what is cheesy about making sure your game runs smooth when you really release it instead of bringing out an update that will fix issues afterhand...

[atomicski]

Yeah, the second player had no abilities whatsoever :/

But it was better than no coop

You DO know the X360 controller has the exact same buttons as a PS3 controller, right?

Triangle = Y

Circle = B

X = A

Square = X

R1 = RB

L1 = LB

R2 = RT

L2 = LT

PS Button = Xbox button :p

Select = Back

Start = Start

d-pad/analog/etc are the same.

No missing buttons..

I hope Sony gets their new rumble controllers out in time for Rockstar to put it in..

well i can see it now with the 360 but back in the xbox/ps2 days, gta on ps2 > gta on xbox

[Remysaus]

not for me :p i always liked the xbox controller more than the ps controller, but that's probably because i played that a lot more.

[Ironman273]

well i can see it now with the 360 but back in the xbox/ps2 days, gta on ps2 > gta on xbox

:blink: The Xbox controller was virtually the same. Just change the LB and RB button to white and black.

Yes, Bungie, who have broken records with Halo, have no clue how to make a game. :|

But Rockstar would never release a beta, And I don't think it should become the norm. I want to wait until it's finished to play it.

It's a promotional thing more than anything. EA said the beta would help them make BF2142 better. Did it? No.

Will the Halo 3 beta help anything? We'll have to wait and see. They never fixed the other Halos properly so why would this beta change that?

Yes, Bungie, who have broken records with Halo, have no clue how to make a game. :|

Rockstar has broken more records than Bungie so don't start comparing them on that level.

[iconboy]

all i have to say is that the halo 3 beta is needed, i dont think you guys understand the sheer number of people that will buy this game and go online, withg the help of the beta, all the headaches of online stuff will be gone right from day one :)

Okay guys im hoping that one of you can help me come to a very important decision.

I, like everyone else who owns a gaming console, will end up buying GTA 4 or GTA 4: Special Edition.

As of yet thou, I don't have a PS3 or a XB380... and to tell the truth, this is the game that will make me decide which one to buy.

Now what I want to know is, from ANY information you guys have, which one should I go for? PS3 or XB 360??!!!

I know the XB version has 'downloadable content', but from what im guessing, this so called content will either be allready available on the blueray PS3 version or available as well via sony's @HOME service...

Basically I just want THE VERY BEST GTA 4 experience I can get, I just dont know which one to get...

or if anyone can PM me Rockstar North's email adress so I can ask them myself, that would be greatly appreciated.

[Huleboeren]

I think you will have to wait and see - read more previews and such.

Once the game is out, they will be compared on each platform.

[Dark Ride]

I installed Vice City again out of nostalgia. The best in the series by far.

It's a promotional thing more than anything. EA said the beta would help them make BF2142 better. Did it? No.

I don't think it's a promotional thing at all, halo3 isn't exactly unknown. And I am guessing they need to test the netcode and such and how the game runs on Xboxlive.

Rockstar has broken more records than Bungie so don't start comparing them on that level.

I didn't compare them. I just think it's obvious they can make a good game.

I think, to be honest, both consoles will get an amazing game. You won't really miss out on either of them. Though I do believe they are both getting exclusive content. What you really need to decide is which console suits you. Personnally I favour the 360, because I think it's much more rounded, and cheaper than the PS3. But then again if you need a blu-ray player then the PS3 that would justify part of the price.
