popisdead uk Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Every now and then the cars will disappear, but its nowhere near as bad as earlier titles. This is on both PS3 and 360.

CY:G Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I play on 360, and i have this happened to me a couple of times, as mentioned before, it is not nearly as bad as previous GTAs Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/623986-official-grand-theft-auto-iv/page/52/#findComment-589376237 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vandalsquad Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 To get 100% complete in stats, you have to achive everything right ie. Kill the pigeons, stunt jumps etc not just the original story line?

JMSASRA Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I don't really worry about my cars disappearing. I mean, I personally favour the Comet, and even in Broker or Bohan, everywhere you look theres another one just waiting to be jacked, which is different from SA in as much as in SA, the Comet, Infernus or Turismo were nowhere to be seen unless you were in a rich district like The Strip in LV Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/623986-official-grand-theft-auto-iv/page/52/#findComment-589376295 Share on other sites More sharing options...
limok Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I had a comet once in the early stages of the game. After that havnt come across it again. However I do agree that cars do seem to disappear alot after a cutscreen Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/623986-official-grand-theft-auto-iv/page/52/#findComment-589376299 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMSASRA Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 It would be easier to come across them if the whole game wasn't constantly pitch black unless you turn the brightness and contrast right up. Plus I'm quite annoyed with the 630p res on the PS3, I mean, come on, be serious, are they actually expecting people to put up with aliased 630p when the shoddy 360 with it's pitiful graphic capabilities swings by with the real resolution deal. Even the Nokia N80 has a better pixel res than this game Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/623986-official-grand-theft-auto-iv/page/52/#findComment-589376308 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMSASRA Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 haha, don't get me wrong, I own a 360, but I always tend to buy games for my PS3 anyway. that sentence in bold = poorly hidden troll, sorry! :blush: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/623986-official-grand-theft-auto-iv/page/52/#findComment-589376319 Share on other sites More sharing options...
magik Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 *sigh* Meh, don't bother with him. Some people just can't grasp certain concepts. There obviously must be a reason why R* was able to pull off 720p on the 360 rather than on the PS3... shoddy graphics?

Slane Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 That's pretty cool... but what good is the "key to the city" if you already beat the game? Doesn't that mean you essentially unlocked everything already? Or is that an Achievement you're talking about? lolAlso, where do you look for your exact completion percentage? There's an Achievement titled "Key to the City" but, Rockstar actually will send ya a key, for attaining 100% in the first week of release. You can check your completion percentage by pressing Start, Stats, general. Should be the first thing at the top. And according to Brady Games this is what's needed for 100% Missions: Complete every Main Story and Procedural Mission (race/drug/exotic exports/assain) in the game. 68% Car Thefts: Deliver all 30 vehicles to the garage (Stevie afer your complete No. 1 and Smackdown mission - time consuming). 2% Friends: Open all Unique Abilites (70 or 75%) and complete all activites (drinking/eating/show/etc.). 10% Activites: Beat Computer (Qu3bd) or Friend at all activites (bowling/darts/pool) once. 5% Random Characters: Find all RC's and complete their encounter missions. (Except for the one's you can spare or kill, Jeff, Cherise, Clarence, Ivan). 5% Most Wanted: Kill all 30 PEDs on list (press LB (360) when stop in cop car). 2.5% Vigilante: Complete 20 crimes (these do not need to be done in one sitting, use LB again). 2.5% Flying Rats: Find all 200 pigeons. 2.5% Unique Stunt Jumps: Complete all 50 jumps. 2.5% Jumps, rats, and car thefts are the most time consuming over than missions. I'm currently 85.17%. I need to do Flying Rats, Unique Stunt Jumps, finish Random Characters, finish races and I should be done. Hopefully, got to midnight tonight to be eligible for the key.

Cripes, if you have to get all that done for the key, I'm screwed. I'm on The Snow Job right now. The damn boat on the dock doesn't seem to move whenever I jack it, and I can't figure out how to get the hell away from the cops without the boat because I keep dying. :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/623986-official-grand-theft-auto-iv/page/52/#findComment-589376379 Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaywood Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I'm playing on X360 framerate is crap Strange, I was just admiring how good the frame rate is on the 360 and PS3. Maybe not 60 fps but its solid. ^read my mind, duritz.

Emorex Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Hmm. I'll try that. Thanks! I just finished that mission. DO this, go around the back (don't alert anyone) climb up the ladder, kill the 3 people on the top. Blow a couple barrels to kill some people at the bottom. Fall down, go to where the coke is and grab it + body armor. Cops come now. Go to the back there is a spool there, climb on top of it. Climb on the beam above it. Run to the window, jump out and then head to the van in the front. No pain, all gain.

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted May 5, 2008 Veteran Share Posted May 5, 2008 The frame rate drops a lot in multiplayer, particularly in downtown Algonquin, but what do you expect? I think that's actually down to lag, it certainly doesn't act like normal frame rate drops.
