Grand Theft Auto IV


Recommended Posts

I just looked at the trailer and only one word comes in my mind AWESOME another bog reason to get a PS3

:blink: I can understand you want to get the game, but why would it be a reason to get the PS3? If anything, the 360 will have episodic content available for it so it would be a reason to get teh 360.

Nah, I get Ironman's argument, unless he had no intention of getting a 360 in the first place. If you're buying a console essentially for a game, and it's multiplatform, might as well get the best (confirmed so far) version out there.

But if wanted a PS3 for other games, and this is just a cincher, *shrug*

Thanks soniq. That's exactly what I meant. I could've understood a comment like that in the MGS4 or FF thread. There's a reason to buy a PS3.

As far as everyone on this board knows the 360 game should have more content than the PS3 game. It could change but as of now that's all we know. All things being equal, if you need to get a console to play GTA4 the 360 would be the obvious choice.

The fact that you would even argue with that logic, MGS3 and Quicksilver, kind of points out the passionate and critical ones here...

Little bit of new news about GTA IV

New information:

- There will be no Ammu Nation shops anymore.

- The girl with the lollipop is called Lola. It seems that she is a prostitute, but no further information is given about her.

- If you take a cab you can mark any point on the map in order to arrive there. There are even special options: If you have have hunger, you will be driven to the next fast food restaurant. If you’re hurt you’ll be driven to the hospital.

- If the police searches you, you won’t find a cab that will transport you.

- The camera is now positioned lower and more left when you sit in a car. According to Rockstar this gives a more realistic feeling. But there are still different camera settings.

- If you’re in a mission, the map not only shows a symbol, but even a line with the best route.

- You can walk, run or sprint. Latter will make you exhausted after a while.

- In the mission where you have to kill the Lawyer Mr. Goldberg there is a dialogue between him and Niko (after Niko pulled out his gun). Goldberg says: “I don’t fear guns. You know, guns don’t kill people - Videogames kill people.”

- The following shootout with the police is one of the best ever in a GTA-game according to the magazine. You have to cover and shoot while things fly through the room from the bullets. One policeman even fell down the escalator when they shoot him in the knee.

That’s all new information that we already don’t know.

Note: Some screens in the mag are labeled with “PS3″. No confirmation if this is true, but if yes, these should be the first screens of the PS3 version.

Way to go rockstar, glad to see the humour is still there (with the whole lawyer blaming games thing) :laugh:

(note - I know some of the grammer etc is wrong, but the info was printed in a german magazine, and then translated by someone for the website I've linked to).

If you feel like you get a lot of value out of the site please do whitelist ads on the news articles, and/or consider getting a subscription, we offer two tiers, one at: $14 per year (support the site for just over a dollar a month) or the $28/year tier (just over $2/month) that disables advertising and affiliate link tracking throughout the site (so also on the news side). We also have a 'Buy us a coffee' page if you just want to make a one-time donation. I am not mincing words when I say it is becoming harder and harder to monetize publications like Neowin, it's a fact of life that when we can no longer afford to pay for everything we'll go like many other sites already have. It doesn't have to cost you anything There are other ways to support Neowin too, like posting on topic content in the forums (technical support/questions/helping others) and sharing our news articles.. this costs nothing but your time and is just as important as subscribing or making a monetary donation! Anyway thanks for your time and continued support of Neowin. Now in our 26th year, and hopefully many more!
