GTA IV Thread **Spoilers**

[gtarmanrob]

hey guys.

with all this crazy hype going around with the release of GTA IV, I figured it might be time to start channeling all the great news and info into a single thread, to save flooding OCN. plus it will help with everybody keeping up to date.

I think this thread could also become the future grounds for players posting any cool finds and ideas within the game. A shame screenshots wont be easy, I think Xbox360 users can take screens in-game, dunno how they post them online. but anyway.

So I propose we post everything within this thread, including news on the game, unless its like some big important vital news update or something.

Players from both the PS3 and Xbox360 platforms please post here.

What I think we would all like to see is news of any new discoveries in-game that people come across. I know I'll be sharing everything I find, and would greatly appreciate anyone else's finds, as this game is gonna be huge. Plus hints and tips on where to go, what to see, your experiences within Liberty City.

Will see how it goes, hopefully we can make this thread official.

Oh and one last thing....

**** NO SYSTEM WARS!! **** - please.
get over yourselves, grow up, play nice. This is not supposed to become a debate over who's system is better and why. System wars is annoying, pathetic, immature and pointless. Lets all enjoy the game for what it is.


If you havn't already you guys might wanna check out the Rockstar Social Club.

EDIT: Decided to make mention in the thread title that this thread contains spoilers. Greatly appreciate everyone's efforts to indicate that their posts are containing spoilers, but I figured having it in the thread title would make it much clearer for first time visits.

Just picked up a copy from wally world myself about an hour ago (24hr store). Only got to play about 10 minutes, but I have work tomorrow...it's bedtime lol. It's funny, I only had to wait about 10 minutes in line (because the kid at the register was SLOW), and right across the street at Game Crazy there was a line out the door that looked like it would have taken 30 minutes AT LEAST to get through.

I played the game for about 2 hours. While the game music / radio is great, I am a little disappointed at the graphic. Maybe its because all the great reviews I read lately really bumped my expectation. Don't get me wrong, the graphic is obviously superior than GTA3... but just not as good as some of PS3 titles (GT5P, Motorstorm, Assassins creed, COD4 and etc). Also, the blurring effect of object in a distance is disturbing. It made everything looks fuzzy.

to be honest, graphics are the least of my worries.

how did it run in terms of FPS? was there much stuttering or laggy areas?

Frame rate is also huge for me. Let us know, as I can't get mine until tomorrow.

Ive just grabbed my copy

im not sure about everyone else who brought the game

but did anyone else get a FREE 500 points + Exclusive Gamerpics + 1 month of XBL GOLD

when they gave me 2 boxs it got me wondering

but the second had all the codes in there for that stuff

thoughts on the game

firstly if your worried about some people sayin noisy disk rom in 360 there wrong its been nothing out of the ordinary to me, i have one of the falcon chipset boxs btw duno if that makes a difference, and i havent seen one pop-in yet
maybe later on in the game i will but havent yet

Graphics brillaint, even if you dont play on a HD tele, i played it downstairs on a LG Lcd HDTV an was awesome, but my 27" toshiba CRT shows it just as good IMHO

knockin people over never felt so great! blood on the bonnet owwwww

strip clubs an prozzy pick up is strangle very real i must say i LOL'd when i first pickd someone up :P

the phone is a great new feature

vehicles: everyone i get in i think is the best car i seen but i find my self gettin out an findin a better car SABRE GT my fav!!! even from vice city

there isnt as much gore but that makes it more realistic imo

just a awesome game full stop

as for online play not done that yet, single player will keep me playing for days

hope this has been some help to some one anyways

long live GTA
