GTA IV

[DoctaD]

They've put the fuckin' game back until roughly next Spring.

FUCK!

I won't have time to play computer games next spring! I was relying on it coming out on time, so I had a month of play before my baby arrived and took over my life, but noooooo... Rockstar want me to suffer. They want me to cringe when the game comes out, and I buy it, and it gathers dust because of my serious lack of fucking time... [/rant]

[Th0r]

It gives me some time to buy the consoles its coming out on...

[Hellz-Fury]

Well it sure does not surprise me...They fucking push the release date up a notch every fucking game.

They need to stop that shit. It pisses me off.

Two trailers and a selection of screenshots can be found @Grand Theft Auto IV - Rockstar Official Website (http://www.rockstargames.com/IV/trailer_splash.html)

The story line can be found on Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto_IV#Plot). Sounds quite promising.

New features like:
Stealing a parked car can no longer be done simply by opening the door and driving off. Now it involves Niko approaching the car unnoticed, breaking the glass with his elbow, before hot-wiring it - only then can he use it. Also, there will be several animation variations to sneaking up to a car and breaking it. The way Niko enters the car would look different each time depending where and how he is in relation to the car. Because of the NaturalMotion system used in the game, the way the character will approach the car will be completely random. The trunks of cars will also be utilised by the player, though specific details are unknown.

Whats everyone else think?

Same, I'll never raise enough cash for the PS3 or the Xbox... Pain in the fucking arse, it's the only game I would purchase & when I got the PS2 it was only so I could play GTA:SA. :hitwithro

I think GTA has done all it can do. I never even finished San Andreas. I still stand by my assertion that GTA3 was the greatest game ever made but times have changed. I want VR! Although the online element looks interesting. Still a little vague though.

Update as of the 7 of this month. http://www.rockstargames.com/IV/

[REL0AD]

I've got it preordered. :smileysex

[Nox (ADVANCED)]

Wanna lend it out??

[Th0r]

I am just going to wait for the PC version.

Same here.

A PAL version of GTA IV (for Xbox 360) has leaked onto the internet if anyone is interested in getting it ahead of the release date..

I suspect it's on ThePirateBay by now but i personally saw it over at Blackcats-Games

[Th0r]

It doesn't surprise me...

A lot of these 'leaks' are in fact deliberate and raise publicity for the game...

[headcase]

I don't think they'll gain anything by leaking GTA. I imagine it's going to sell out completely for a while and if that doesn't "raise the publicity", nothing will.

[Th0r]

It is only sold out in some stores, and Rockstar will probably create a shortage...

[Th0r]

Anyone get a copy today?

Today most of the stores are out of copies...

[DoctaD]

Mine will be here in the morning, but I didn't want to wait a day so I borrowed a copy to play tonight.

My brother and alot of my friends were waiting at their local Game at midnight for it's release.

Ive booked next week off work to get stuck in... a few friends and I were fucking around in the multiplayer free-roam, and it's awesome.

The controls are a little hard to get used to, mostly driving, but it's not a major issue. Apart from that, it's not far from perfect.

Anyone playing online next week on XBL, my Gamertag is DoctaD5015

[DominoKett]

i heard this game is projected to sell more copies than any other video game in history

[Th0r]

To be honest Domino, that would not surprise me...

The talk about it at school is phenomenal.

[Th0r]

When downloading GTA IV Torrents be aware that some could potentially be from Take Two themselves attempting to catch people downloading their master piece...

Whilst I am not 100% sure whether the source is correct or not, he is a reliable one.

Be cautious.

It is better to be safe than sorry.

Why do you need to hook it up to your computer?

[Th0r]

The Internet?

That's how my mate does it anyway.

Sorry, I actually don't know how that works. I always just used an ethernet cable straight into a switch so I don't know what other ways there are to connect.

[Th0r]

My friend uses his Xbox 360 wired up to his computer to get the Internet as he has Wi-Fi.

Or something like that.

[crazy white guy]

I hook my ps2 onto my computer to play through my video card so that i can take screen shots without having it look ghetto.

[DoctaD]

I tried to hook my xbox to my pc before but my wireless router was an inferiour frequency or some shit.

This was simply for media though, it was already directly connected to the router via wireless bridge for Xbox live.

[Pimpin4Life30]

My computer might be to old its a 2001 or 2002 xp

[Th0r]

As long as it has the Internet. The friend in question's computer is about that old.

[DoctaD]

If you dont have a wireless bridge for your xbox, use the yellow ethernet cable which comes as standard and plug this into your router.

If you haven't got a router, and use a shitty little USB modem, you are going to have a lot of trouble getting on Xbox live.

Your best bet is to invest in the wireless bridge and router.

[Pimpin4Life30]

I tried putting it threw my router didnt work for some reason said error or something on my Xbox.
