Chart-Track estimates GTA IV broke UK sales record

Chart-Track estimates Grand Theft Auto IV sold 609,000 units on its launch day in the UK, which eclipses GTA: San Andreas' 2004 first-day record of 501,000 units. GI.biz reports the game also broke records among the two consoles it's available on, with the Xbox 360 and PS3 selling 335,000 and 274,000 units respectively. The former records belonged to Halo 3 with 266,000 and GT5: Prologue with 80,000 units sold on day one.

The "official" Chart-Track sales data will release on May 6, with the current data being based on electronic point of sale and retailer estimates. We're still waiting for Take-Two to send out a press release trumpeting its global success.

I havent seen any trailers, read any reviews and have only seen a handful of screenshot, but I have to say "I need this game". Through word of mouth and my experience of previous GTAs, I know I am going to love it. Its just a shame I have given up on consoles (After owning/selling all current consoles) in favour of PC gaming. I am really regretting it right now. *Cries*

Yeah its a bit of a though wait, but then you wont regret it when you get the pc version with no bugs and the best graphics, and mouse and keyboard controls, and probably even cheaper than the console version :laugh:

Was playing for a little while earlier today and decided that i wanted to take a spin in a cop car. So I dial up 911 on the mobile, a cop car turns up and proceeds to drive past me and turn round at the bottom of the street.. as its turning round it hits some bins and stuff that are piled up and flips upside down. The cop gets out of the car, calmly walks over to another car parked next to the kerb. Then he smashes the window, unlocks the door, climbs in and hotwires it.. then he speeds off down the street. Made me giggle :D

Snow Storm? :laugh:

Easy grab the health and armor, storm out gun the 3 NOOSE that rush you. The the two in the outermost room, run through hole in fence, then jump in water. Swim to your right to the Jetmax(fastest boat in game) and head to open waters.

Just over halfway down with the main story (they say main story is 68& and I'm sitting at 37%). So I should get that achieve to complete the main story in less than 30 hours then I'll go back and do the rest of the stuff. Got a **** ton of money.

I'd did something rather entertaining today, I climbed a large tower in the fuel yard(?) at the Airport and started to snipe people to get a wanted level. The cops climbed the ladder to get to me and as soon as they reach the top I just kicked them in the face and watch them plummet to the ground. Or wait until there's a good few of them climbing the ladder then slide down the ladder knocking them all off! :laugh:

An idea for those who want the achievement for the 6 star cop rating. The easy way. I was just screwin around and I found how to do this.

After you unlock the big island (I cant remember the name off hand) go down to the heli tours area and grab a heli. Then, fly over the next island, it is instant 6 star wanted level, then just fly around for 5 minutes, until you get the achievement. Boom, easy 40g.

On a side note...the Deconstruction for Beginners mission is really ****ing me off. :angry:

In the mission where you decide to either kill Playboy X or Dwayne, kill Playboy. You get his flat as a safehouse. Then change clothes, and you can wear the outfit from GTAIII ;)

Just completed that mission, going to have to try that out. I also did "Under The Radar" as I was getting this, just be careful some of those bridges are awfully close to the water and it's hard to manuver a Heli below them.

I just did that also, and was going to come post about it.

Hardest mission I had to do to date, was "Three Leaf Clover". First mission I'm having problems with. Thought I would have it last time I did it, but I drop a grenade at my feet and it killed me. :(

Maybe MADD should target REAL LIFE drink drivers, not pixels on a fricking screen. Showing your priorities right there you bunch of complete morons.

If I were Rockstar I'd reply to half of these idiots in the same way Piratebay responds to legal claims against their website - With complete mockery.

i totally agree! , cause anyone to complains about this sorta stuff in a game is crossing the line as it's a FRICKING GAME PEOPLE!, not real life. ;)

Yeah its a bit of a though wait, but then you wont regret it when you get the pc version with no bugs and the best graphics, and mouse and keyboard controls, and probably even cheaper than the console version :laugh:

i agree here to as i to am waiting for the PC version (i have XBox360 version though) as i wont be able to fully enjoy the game til i play the PC version as it's aiming system on console even though it's better than previous ones the way it works like ducking behind stuff and then shooting, it's still to crappy feeling since without using free aim it cheapens the feel of the game when shooting at stuff... and even though u have the option to free aim in the consoles it's just to hard to aim quickly enough at stuff vs mouse which is MUCH easier.

i cant wait for the precision of the mouse on the pc version as shooting missions will be MUCH more fun then ;)

p.s. im fairly certain (at least for me) MAFIA 2 is going to be a better game ;) (cause i still prefer MAFIA 1 (on PC) over any of the previous GTA's prior to GTA4 (hell, in a way MAFIA 1 (from 2002 on PC) is still better than GTA4 is in a way although you can tell GTA4 is much more updated with todays technology etc etc)

Easy grab the health and armor, storm out gun the 3 NOOSE that rush you. The the two in the outermost room, run through hole in fence, then jump in water. Swim to your right to the Jetmax(fastest boat in game) and head to open waters.

Thank you I was upto this mission and it was giving me alot of greif. Your solution is great and helped me after 15 tries, to finish this mission.

Can anyone give me a hint on how to finish a few misssions?

I'm on the mission where you have to take out Dwayne's girlfriend and her new boyfriend, but you have a choice. I leave the girl alone, but, I can never catch up to the new boyfriend. How the hell do you catch him?, I'm also, on the mission for Brucie where you have to run down Lyle Revas, but I can't catch him either. :(

    • 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.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
