[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?

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11
    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
