Grand Theft Auto IV

[NTC]

Who else here is eagerly anticipating the arrival of GTAIV? GTA is my favourite game series, I've played every single one, and finished them all, it's one of the main reasons why I want a PS3.

Well the first Official Trailer is being released next Friday (the 29th of March), you can keep an eye out for it at http://www.rockstargames.com/IV/

I heard it's going to take place in an Asian city, like Tokyo or Beijing or something.

It should be pretty crazy. I remember when GTA3 came out and it was such an amazing improvement from the 2nd one. They should be able to do some awesome things with the new consoles.

I read that it could be possibly set in New York in the 1980's, that would be pretty sweet I reckon. Just so long as it isnt set in England.

9 days until we find out I guess, I cant wait

Just a thought NTC, it's also being released on the Xbox360. So, as long as you have one of those, you can still get it without investing (or wasting) your $600+ on a PS3.

Yeah, problem is, I'm a bit of a Playstation fanboy

So was I. But I just don't think the PS3 is worth it.

 

[I-Miss-MJ]

Me too but with DMC4, possibly MG4 and FF13 going to 360 I might just change.

Plus I think GTA is the most over-rated series of gaming going around - well next to Halo.

I think GTA is rather boring, I haven't been too thrilled playing that series since the third one on PC. I'm still looking to play the new one though, just in case they plan on doing something really different this time around. If it is anything to extent of the old ones in terms of gameplay and missions then I'll pass.

</div>Right there with ya. I love Sony, but the PS3 is too much at the moment. The only thing that really makes it worth it is the built in Blu-Ray player, outside of that, I'd rather spend my $400 on a 360 or blow $250 on a Wii. They both have better games and are a little better on the pocketbook.

I hope it comes out on PC... I still play GTA SA, but I'm stuck on a damn airplane mission - just can't controll a plane with a keyboard.

Pick up the Logitech Rumblepad with cord for PC. I assure you perfect PlayStation-like controls and top quality. Not a bad price for it either.

??? halo owns

 

[I-Miss-MJ]

please.

generic shooter, poor storyline. Only thing that makes it popular is online.

 

[Apollo]

Isn`t this GTA on 360 too?

<div class="quote_poster">Apollo Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Isn`t this GTA on 360 too?</div>
Yeah but on the previous console generation the GTA games came out at least half a year earlier than the XBox and PC versions. GTA IV's being released on the same day for both the 360 and PS3 though.

Still haven't beaten Vice City yet. I'm at the racing mission. No matter what I do, I can never beat the guy in the race. I'm happy to say I've pretty much given up on that game after 50+ unsuccessful tries

Where it is that you can't succeed, cheat.

 

[Chutney]

I beat Vice City a long time ago. The hardest mission is the one where you have to rob the bank. So many parts to it and there's so many police.

The racing mission is sort of tough, because his car is way better than yours. The key is to keep bumping him from the back until he spins out of control.

That mission is easy as pie.

What you need to do is this, at the start of the race, drive into the side of his car, towards the back, to try and make him spin out, I think it works best like around the Police Station just a bit furthur down the road, then all you have to do is maintain the lead, and you should beat him comfortably

That bank mission was easy too, I passed it first shot.

 

[Really Lost One]

Hm, thanks for the advice guys. Everytime I do the mission, my car always ends up getting destroyed. I guess I'm not a good driver because I can't control the car very well when it's on high speed. Plus, if I go any slower, I'd fall behind like crazy. There was this one time when I got lucky, my opponent ended up getting stuck in some sort of traffic, so I was up by a pretty high margin, but then, like always, I destroy my car....

I'll probably try it out again sometime today.

Enjoy

 

[M Two One]

I just found out from some people that actually got to see it that it takes place in Liberty City again and follows the story of some foreign guy from Russia. So all along I was right that this really does take place after GTA3 and would connect to it. It really just basically is GTAIV.

 

[NTC]

Invalid Video Link

OH. MY. GOD.

*passes out*

 

[Trip]

I wished for a whole new city. Oh well, this one seems to actually have New York landmarks.

The graphics won't be anywhere as good as the trailer though...

 

[M Two One]

I'm not impressed what-so-ever. Locke is also correct that the final product won't look like that. At least they stopped going back in time like I wanted, but still. I hope for some new things otherwise this one will be a crapper.

 

[monty001]

I wanted a new city as well. Ah well. Like you guys, I hope that it has some new things which I'm sure it will. I can't wait till it comes out.

 

[Mamba]

Liked GTA III, Hated Vice City, San Andreas was good until my ps2 broke.

I never fell into the OMGZZZ GTA!!!!11!! hype, but I do like them. I'll give this one a try.

 

[Really Lost One]

GTA is especially fun on those boring, raining days when you don't have anything to do. Just pop the game in and try killing as many people as you can. It's a great way to waste your life
