[Official] Grand Theft Auto IV


Recommended Posts

I don't have a good picture of what I'm trying to convey, but I just wanted to say, I was walking through town with my boyfriend yesterday and noticed aload of GTA signs and it hit me, he looks a hell of alot like Niko. Even has the same jacket.

...I just spent a few minutes trying to find a good picture that shows it but the best I come up with suck

ah well

Guess you guys could just not control yourselves and did not understand that there should be no talk about playing the game before it was released.

When I have the time to go through it all tomorrow, plenty of warnings are going to be handed out.

On top of that, to the members who continuously broke the rules and talked about it not just once but several times, those people are going to be getting a minimum of a one week time restriction from posting in the Gamers Hangout at all.

This will give you all the chance to visit the forums who do allow talking about piracy, because obviously you do not get the fact that we do not allow that here.

Way to go people. :no:

Before I start I want to say, yes I have seen people say not to argue with the mods, but it has to be brought up (and it would be nice if DL or one of the mods could post a response too)

While I haven't been active in this thread, I have been reading it a fair bit.

I don't want to get into an argument, and this will be my only post here.

However, the street date has been broken by many retailers. Meaning a lot of people have legit copies. While a few days ago most of the people talking about the gameplay hands on probably did have a pirated copy, the fact is that right now, the majority of people playing it do have a legit copy.

To ban the discussion of something because some people may have a pirated version is just silly. Using that logic, should neowin ban the discussion of any games? Since any games can be pirated.

Come on DL, use some common sense please. Its just ridiculous that people are being banned from talking about a game which they have legitimately bought, and nothing they have said or done broke any neowin rules.

It has absolutely nothing to do with me really, but I am kinda shocked to see this level of censorship happening on a forum which I feel a part of.

Just thought i would mention that Im going to get a 360 just for this game.

But I watched the "world exclusive" review from IGN. That video told me, NOTHING. All it showed me was some footage and some small information about multiplayer. The storyline and how vehicles handle and is there the ability to customise your vehicle? Or can you tone up ypur body like in GTA:SA?

Thanks for giving me **** all to go on IGN. They need to look up the definition of review before they post more **** like that. The only thing he did mention however was it was the first game ever(?) to be rated a 10 and shoudl be game of the year. Again, his opinion means nothing.

Time to start saving.

Watch the GameTrailers review, they have more detail, though that also means more spoilers... im guessing IGN tried to keep it as spoiler free as possible...

Might pop down Tesco's at 11pm if my mum still feels like taking me :p

They sold me GTA:SA at 10pm the night of release..

Aye Tescos told me be there for 10pm at their 'extra' store. A store which services a good 20 mile radius I should point out.. Why?

THEY ONLY HAVE 30 ****ING COPIES.

'extra' hassle more like.

Not sure about other Asdas and Tescos, I live right near both (within 2 minutes for both).

I went into Asda and saw the woman on the gaming counter.

"Hello is it tonight or can I get a copy of GTA now...we cant sell it order, Ive got a big list of pre-orders...the ps3 preorders are full up, if I were you Id sign up, if you just turn up your wont get it at midnight....oh right...*signed up to her pre-order list*...so what if I turn up at 11.30 *wink wink* she laughed and told me that they'd get fined and will not sell a single copy before 12.

I'm looking forward to seeing the que, the pre-order list was huge.

....and if all else fails, I can try the tesco or game in town.

Woot, only 5 hours left until GTAIV... Gonna go down my local gamestation and pick it up (already preordered there since like january or something) and hope that my play.com order comes in the post tomorrow so I can sell it to my mate or just send it back to the lying ****s. They've taken my money 3 days before posting the game? Not on...

Yay mine has shipped from Gamestop and should be getting it sometime tomorrow. Anyone else find it appropriate that the tax for it was $4.20 heh.

Wouldn't it be better if the tax was $4.29?

    • Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.2 by Razvan Serea Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) is a free and open-source video and audio player for Windows. MPC-HC is based on the original Guliverkli project (which is no longer maintained) and contains many additional features and bug fixes. As the continuation of the original Media Player Classic, MPC-HC isn’t flashy but it works with nearly any media format. MPC-HC uses DXVA technology to pass decoding operations to your modern video card, enhancing your viewing experience. And MPC-HC supports both physical and software DVDs with menus, chapter navigation, and subtitles. Overview of features A lot of people seem to be unaware of some of the awesome features that have been added to MPC-HC in the past years. Here is a list of useful options and features that everyone should know about: Dark interface Menu > View > Dark Theme When using dark theme it is also possible to change the height of the seekbar and size of the toolbar buttons. Options > Advanced Video preview on the seekbar Options > Tweaks > Show preview on seek bar Adjust playback speed Menu > Play > Playback rate The buttons in the player that control playback rate take a 2x step by default. This can be customized to smaller values (like 10%): Options > Playback > Speed step Adjusting playback speed works best with the internal audio renderer. This also has automatic pitch correction. Options > Playback > Output > Audio Renderer MPC-HC can remember playback position, so you can resume from that point later Options > Player > History You can quickly seek through a video with Ctrl + Mouse Scrollwheel. You can jump to next/previous file in a folder by pressing PageUp/PageDown. You can perform automatic actions at end of file. For example to go to next file or close player. Options > Playback > After Playback (permanent setting) Menu > Play > After Playback (for current file only) A-B repeat - You can loop a segment of a video. Press [ and ] to set start and stop markers. You can rotate/flip/mirror/stretch/zoom the video Menu > View > Pan&Scan This is also easily done with hotkeys (see below). There are lots of keyboard hotkeys and mouse actions to control the player. They can be customized as well. Options > Player > Keys Tip: there is a search box above the table. You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites Put yt-dlp.exe or youtube-dl.exe in the MPC-HC installation folder. Then you can open website URLs in the player: Menu > File > Open File/URL You can even download those videos: Menu > File > Save a copy Tip: to be able to download in best quality with yt-dlp/youtube-dl, it is recommended to also put ffmpeg.exe in the MPC-HC folder. Several YDL configuration options are found here: Options > Advanced This includes an option to specify the location of the .exe in case you don't want to put it in MPC-HC folder. Play HDR video This requires using madVR or MPC Video Renderer. After installation these renderers can be selected here: Options > Playback > Output Ability to search for and download subtitles, either automatically or manually (press D): Options > Subtitles > Misc Besides all these (new) features, there have also been many bugfixes and internal improvements in the player in the past years that give better performance and stability. It also has updated internal codecs. Support was added for CUE sheets, WebVTT subtitles, etc. Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.2 changelog: Updated LAV Filters to version 0.81-23-g6fadb Updated MPC Video Renderer to version 0.10.2.2540 Updated MediaInfo DLL to version 26.05 Updated MPC Audio Renderer Several crash fixes, bug fixes and small improvements.

    • No problems here using the new Outlook. In our company we started to default installing to users on new computers or when we're reimaging. But, if the user needs/ask for the classic one, we install it. Low reject rate at this point.
    • Yeah it's my only home/business computer. The Surface Pen magnetic Storage is on the left side, but it doesn't charge the Pen. I do the charging once every 6+ months by interchanging between 2 rechargeable AAAA batteries and charging the other via a USB A battery charger.
