[Official] Grand Theft Auto IV


Recommended Posts

Hmm just called my semi local Best Buy. Asked the girl on the phone if they had the new GTA in stock she said yes....We have ALOT. I am really surprised.

No need to be surprised. The BB I work at received 800+ copies for PS3 and 900+ copies for 360.

I just had my first freeze. After the first cut scene for the second job for Vlad, I left the bar and it got stuck on the loading screen. Bah.

Just picked up my reserved copy from Best Buy.... looked like they only had about 10 360 copies and another 10 PS3 copies for sale that were not reserved, also saw they only had 3 SE of the PS3 version and no SE 360 versions left. only another 3 hours of work left before I can play.

Loving it, played alot of multiplayer learning the different types. Cops and Crooks is badass, as well as Hangman's NOOSE, and Bomb Da Base II (real fun). Fun game all around. Trying to do the 'Walk Free' achievement, but heli keeps spotting me at the last second.

I picked up my copy for the 360 last night/this morning at midnight at Walmart. There were maybe 8-10 other people infront of me and maybe another 6-8 behind me in line. Someone I was talking to in line said when he drove by GameStop there was probably at least 60 people outside in line. I haven't really gotten to play it yet though. I played for about 20-30mins this morning before I left for work, but that wasn't nearly enough time to get a feel for it. My initial impression is that the controls are really strange, and the cars feel weird too. But I'll check it out later. So far the story seems really interesting, and Niko's cousin has some serious issues (seems like a habitual liar lol). I can't wait til I get off work in 2hrs though so I can go home and play it.

I also noticed it felt a little sluggish just moving around and driving and stuff too. Not sure if it's by design, my 360 or if it was actually lagging. Something I need to check into when I get home.

my ps3 and gta iv are arriving tomorrow :) can anyone tell me if the game suffers from people & vehicles disappearing when they go off camera for a while like its predessesors? that sh*t really used to irk me somewhat.. thx.

It still happens but not as bas as previous games. Lets say you see a nice car that goes by you at a different direction and you try to turn around and chase it to snag it, most times you will never find it as it disappears...

There were no supply issues here in Scunthorpe. Those daft enough to queue at 12 outside Game needn't have bothered. Only Tesco had sold out. I got mine at one in the afternoon and a couple of friends got theirs later on in the evening (360 for me - PS3 for them)

I am struggling with the car handling because I have been playing Burnout Paradise for the last few months, I keep hitting the X button for the handbrake and then the A for boost - oh dear no boost.

I have also found the cars to have brakes that lock up too easily, making you plough straight on, gonna have to practice cornering. Brake a bit earlier I think.

Does anyone know how to play with friends online? It says co-op-2-4 on the back.

I hit up on the D pad go to multi player select party mode and it just loads me as some girl and my 3 friends cant do anything. Even tried to sign on in on xbox live from my xbox as well as me being online.

Is it like CoD where you can only have 1 person online per xbox?

Edit: we are all at my house trying to play - hope this clarifies it up a bit

You can't do that. You guys need to be on different 360s and play on Xbox Live. There is no split screen, there is no system link.

I just had my first freeze. After the first cut scene for the second job for Vlad, I left the bar and it got stuck on the loading screen. Bah.

I had the exact same thing happen to me, other than that no other problems at all. Played it for a while today and it's a fantastic game.. love all the little touches in it, like the way that Niko comes crashing through the windscreen when you smash into something travelling at speed :p

    • 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.
    • With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.
    • Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
