i got mine last night at the midnite release, i only played it for maybe an hour due to having to be up at 5am for work today, it was pretty cool, i didn't really do anything mission wise other then the "first" mission. I just kinda ran around stealing cars and punching old people in the head. can't wait to get outta here and play all night

I ordered my copy of GTA4 SE last thursday from Play and they dispatched it yesterday... Its here now :D Not sure how I managed to get that, since some of my friends only got their copies dispatched today and they pre-ordered it months ago

I actually hate you now! :p no not really well done, I hope mine comes tomorrow tho

Alright so those that have the game already, and has played both online and multiplayer.....Is the game worth it? I think it is ( and i didnt even play it yet). I am curious though what everyone else thinks, is it worth it? For people that do not own a system, would this game be worth it for them to go out and buy a system and the game? Then slowly build their game collection.

I personally want to get away from PC gaming so I am seriously thinking of going today and getting a system, game, and three month XBL haha.

I think that sounds like a good plan. This game is really good. Don't get the three month XBL. You get 1 free month when you make a new account and GTA 4 comes with 1 free month as well. so you have 2 months there.

I played the game for 20 mins and was amazed by it. It was a bit wierd to play though just because I haven't played the 360 in so long and it took a bit to get used to the controller :p

does anyone else find this game causes your PS3 fans to kick in after 20 minutes and pretty much stay that way?

Mine hasn't.. I've been playing it since around 12, its now 6pm, fan is still silent as normal. Also, the air coming out the back is a lot cooler than usual :s

I'm so glad I'm off work till next Tuesday :D

It's taken me some time to get used to the graphic style, reminds me of Burnout Paradise in a way. I haven't had any serious slowdown on the PS3 but there have been moments where it has a very noticeable dip. Not noticed any serious pop-in yet though :)

My PS3 copy is running in 720p by default instead of 1080p :/

Happen to anyone else?

natively PS3 is running at 630P (default) and the xbox is running at 720P (default) This is being reported on most of the sites, including Sony and MS sites. I personally have the 360 copy as the majority of people I know are on 360, however the people who bought the PS3 version are saying the same, their TV's are set auto and it runs at either 576P, 630P or 720P :(

However that should not detract from the game, its awesome, no matter what platform you play it on :)

Ok, cool. Now the most brilliant question of them all: How in the hell do I get to the multiplayer? lol

Access your mobile (up on the D-Pad) and the access the phone menu and choose Multiplayer :p

    • Motrix Next 3.9.4 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management.

This release refreshes bundled engine binaries, improves task detail readability and copy actions, expands link handling for magnet and ED2K workflows, polishes responsive navigation and text wrapping, updates browser extension documentation, and refines network preference controls.

    • NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.
    • TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
