Grand Theft Auto IV


Recommended Posts

I think the following is complete BS :/

New GTA4 info from a turkish Xbox Magazine

New Details have been revealed today for he next-generation console debut of the genre-defining ?Grand Theft Auto? franchise. These details are from a Turkish Xbox magazine.

1) When you move, there is a slight vibration with every footstep when you run

2) The HUD has been removed- no health or armour indicators, it is all visual- and if you have armour, you actually have a bulletproof vest which visually deteriates

3) Flamethrower and rocket launcher are still in the game

4) Explosions are larger than ever, and there is a mission in the game based on creating an awesome chain reaction of car explosions- apparently this looks awesome

4) Cars dont explode unless you blow them up- ie they wont explode if you just keep crashing or hitting them- you have to rocket launch into them

5) Niko doesnt get tired- you can run forever, it just wont be as fast as previously.

6) more RPG elements, ie - for a mission, you must catch the train at 7pm, and if you dont, you dont get to do that particular mission (they just gave this as an example, the scenario isnt confirmed in the game yet)

7) Gore is back and better, bullet wounds show, blood appears where you shoot people, they limp if you shoot them in the leg, and hold their arm if you shoot their arm. Apparently when you run someone over it is disturbing (but they gave no more detail)

No eating, girlfriends, keeping fit- but your skills do improve over time (driving etc)

9) Secret vehicles and ?plenty of goodies? at 100% completion- no more details given (either not revealed or simply not known yet)

10) Land size is bigger than the 3 cities (not country) in SA put together

11) graphics are better than Saints Row- draw distance is literally as far as you can see

12) new trailer will be on the internet 28th of June

I almost puked after that first one.

Having the controller vibrate everytime you ran would get so annoying!

All magazines have been given the same preview, same footage of the game when they were invited by Rockstar I dont trust them Turksu:ps :p

I don't think it would a full on rumble, but rather a very slight wobble every time you move. alot of games have things like this you wouldn't really notice.

lol, it worked for dead rising, but come on :p

Care to give examples? I have never experienced it..

I still believe it is fake.

This is from a thread on GTAForums.com that is now locked.

It Has Already Been Posted a few Days ago, And If I remember Correctly Everything from that Magazine was False. So This Topic (N)

Cant seem to find that other topic he was talking about - GTAForums has no search feature......i think :s

Trailer to go online at 12:00 PM EDT

Posted by adamcs at 22:36.

Rockstar have revealed in their latest email broadcast that next week's trailer, titled "Looking for that special someone", will go online at 12:00 PM EDT on 28th June. That's 5 PM in the UK, and 2 AM (June 29th) in Australia.

So in case anyone is wondering, that's GMT 5PM (or GMT 17:00)

......I think, time zones are ****** confusing

Aww crap. The day that I go for my trip to the UK is the day the trailer is released. Oh well, guess I'll have to wait to August to see the trailer.

What?

They dont have internet in the UK?

Or are you taking a boat, so you wont reach the UK before august? :s

Well I won't be buzzing around waiting come 5 to try and watch this straight away, not after what happened last time. :laugh:
So, the internet dies (again) at 5pm next Thursday? Good job I'm at work.

Yahoo Games will be hosting the trailer this time.

So hopefully they will be able to manage the flood of viewers..

Neat. Grand Theft Auto IV is going to be a refreshing game to be playing after the Saints Row and Crackdown let down.

Let down?

I thought they were great - but different..

anyways

Today we received a press release from Yahoo! Games announcing exclusive content to be published on a special dedicated website of theirs leading up to the trailer release, beginning today June 22. Here's the press release in full...

The latest "1UP Yours" podcast has a snippet from John Davison who recently saw the new IV demo at R*. He said that the latest demo focuses on an updated version of Broker (the area featured in the previous demo) and revealed that R* plan to release 3 trailers in total, meaning there will be one more trailer after "Looking for that special someone," which is due to be released next week. Listen to the clip below:

Dan Houser Interview to debut June 27th on Yahoo! Games

Posted by Adriaan at 21:40.

Tension mounted yesterday as the hours went by with Yahoo! Games yet to post anything new GTA IV-related. Late that evening it turned out that all they provided was an article looking back at the previous GTA games...

Tonight we still haven't got anything new from them, but posted an article on "what we know so far". In it they list an exclusive interview to be published tomorrow, June 27th.

Want more GTA details? Check back with Yahoo! Games on June 27 for an exclusive interview with Rockstar VP of creative, Dan Houser.

Both Yahoo! and Rockstar Games stated that the site will in fact provide exclusive content at some point this week -- with R* personally telling us via e-mail -- so we do hope that the interview tomorrow will provide any new details on the game, as well as the promised screenshots. Once it goes live, we'll replace this article with news about it.

    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with adblockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Opera Air'. It still has some bloat, but nowhere near as much as Brave browser, for example. I have a system wide Adblocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the the web browser, but over the whole thing. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt adblocker because of that.
    • I have been using Firefox for years.
    • I'd trust open source stuff on github more then closed source binaries from Microsoft.
