[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?

    • Windows 11 is a big thumbs down from me. I used for a period of a few days while it was in insider and windows 10 was the main OS, and realised it wasn't for me. I am still waiting for Windows to be tolerable again, a shame as at one point I was very pro Microsoft.  
    • Classic outlook, not only does it have a much fuller feature set, it doesn't include Microsoft attempting to sync my emails from my servers to theirs. If classic outlook is ever removed from office, and the version I paid for in 2021 stops working for some reason, I'll use Thunderbird.
    • Kdenlive 26.04.2 by Razvan Serea Kdenlive is an acronym for KDE Non-Linear Video Editor. It works on GNU/Linux, Windows and BSD. Through the MLT framework, Kdenlive integrates many plugin effects for video and sound processing or creation. Furthermore Kdenlive brings a powerful titling tool, a DVD authoring (menus) solution, and can then be used as a complete studio for video creation. Kdenlive supports all of the formats supported by FFmpeg or libav (such as QuickTime, AVI, WMV, MPEG, and Flash Video, among others), and also supports 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios for both PAL, NTSC and various HD standards, including HDV and AVCHD. Video can also be exported to DV devices, or written to a DVD with chapters and a simple menu. Video editing features: Multi-track editing with a timeline and supports an unlimited number of video and audio tracks. A built-in title editor and tools to create, move, crop and delete video clips, audio clips, text clips and image clips. Ability to add custom effects and transitions. A wide range of effects and transitions. Audio signal processing capabilities include normalization, phase and pitch shifting, limiting, volume adjustment, reverb and equalization filters as well as others. Visual effects include options for masking, blue-screen, distortions, rotations, colour tools, blurring, obscuring and others. Configurable keyboard shortcuts and interface layouts. Rendering is done using a separate non-blocking process so it can be stopped, paused and restarted. Kdenlive also provides a script called the Kdenlive Builder Wizard (KBW) that compiles the latest developer version of the software and its main dependencies from source, to allow users to try to test new features and report problems on the bug tracker. Project files are stored in XML format. An archiving feature allows exporting a project among all assets into a single folder or compressed archive.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.
