Grand Theft Auto IV - Gen. Discussion & Info

[quote name='SteveMcQ']Were those plates only available during a certain pre-order period or for all LE pre-orders? I recall ordering the LE from Amazon, but not sure if the plate was listed as part of it as well when I ordered.[/quote]

I believe that they added it later, but I'm sure it includes all pre-orders for the LE.

I just ordered the game, I know I'll get caught up in the hype near release anyway, plus I just read the article in the new EGM, and cooking grenades & dropping them out of trucks sound super fun, especially in multiplayer
 
[quote name='CouRageouS']So no planes eh? As long as theres a Jetpack cheat like in SA, then its all good.[/QUOTE]

I hope they have the Dodo Car Cheat. I loved acting like I had a Delorean and flew my car around the city.

Yea thats awesome. If your getting chased by cops just drop a couple of grenades out and booom. I can't wait.
 
For a person that does not play on Xbox Live, I do hope they have a split screen option. A guy can always hope...
 
[quote name='NTolerance']Any word on local co-op in GTA4?[/quote]

Doubt it...you're better off going with Saint's Row 2 which since it has it, I'm sure GTA V will too.
 
[quote name='Danil ACE']They should try to squeeze in something about the whole new york governor prostitute scandal thing.[/QUOTE]

That would be sweet. :D

But the first Saint's Row doesn't have local co-op, correct? I've stayed away from it because I heard it's all about hip-hop culture which I'm not into.

I would categorize it as a "thug life" culture instead of hip hop culture. GTA:SA was in the same category and it was a terrific game. It was the first GTA game I ever played from beginning to end and I was sad when it was over LOL. If you enjoy GTA style games, you should give Saint's Row a shot because it's probably the best imitator out there (not meant to be taken as an insult).

To be put simply...if you enjoy GTA, you'll enjoy Saint's Row...I'm not a fan of the "Hip Hop culture" and I enjoyed this game a lot, plus you should be able to find it cheap...definitely give it a shot.
 
Yeah, although I considered GTA (PS2) far superior to Saints Row (360), it was a pretty good game. Hell, I'd go as far as to say a great game if it just had a little more variety and far less glitches... oh and it's multiplayer was a disgrace.

Haha future DLC perhaps;)
 
[quote name='doctorfaustus']So, xbox 360 or PS3? Not flaming.[/quote]

360 is the obvious choice if you want the most out of GTA IV. Why would you get it for PS3?......I cant really see why someone would get it for PS3 unless they dont own a 360 or are a fanboy. There really is no advantage to getting it for PS3. Is there?

The interview from EGM with Sam Houser I believe said the only difference ( Aside from the DLC and Achievments ) will be a slightly different color pallette. I'll need to grab the mag. tomorrow to get an exact qoute :)
 
[quote name='EGM Magazine Article']... the Playstation 3 game will look and perform identically, except for minor differences such as the PS3's minutely warmer color palette.

The PS3 version of GTA4 will use the Sixaxis controller's motion-sensing abilities...[/quote]

It does not sound like there is much of a difference between the two graphics-wise if that is what people are worried about.

I actually don't know where I read this. I tried to find it in the EGM Magazine today and couldn't. Maybe i'm thinking of another Multiplatform game. I'm confused.:whee:

look at my post above yours ;)
 
New multiplayer details came out today .....


* There are 15 multiplayer game modes in GTA IV. PSM had an opportunity to play 7 of them.
* Multiplayer supports upto 16 players.
* The game modes featured are as follows:

1. Hangmans NOOSE
2. Car Jack City
3. Bomb da Base
4. Bomb da Base II
5. Mafia Work
6. Team Mafia Work
7. Deathmatch
8. Team Deathmatch
9. Turf War
10. Cops N Crooks
11. Race
12. GTA Race
13. Deal Breaker
14. Free Mode
15. Car Jack City

* In Race and GTA Race, the host gets to decide which vehicles are involved, and the number of laps to be played.

* In Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch, the host gets to decide the number of pedestrians, the amount of traffic, the intervention of police, and the type of weapons.

* The map used in multiplayer is the same map that is used for single player.

*A single-player mission called "Hangman's NOOSE" features co-op. You and your friends will be able to escort a mobster, while being pursused by a SWAT team.

* Your online character is fully customizable. You can alter his race, sex, hair, clothing etc.

* In Mafia Work and Team Mafia Work, you play as one of Kenny Petrovic's mafia henchmen, and you must complete hits ordered by your boss (over your cellphone) before your rivals.

* In Cops N Crooks, one team play as cops and the other play as criminals. The cops must stop the criminals from escaping. They can monitor the locations of the criminals on their GPS systems, while the criminals don't know where the cops are.

Up to 16 player multiplayer? Free Roaming using the WHOLE map? Seriously...
 
[quote name='LinkinPrime']What!?!?!? That's awesome![/quote]

Seriously.
I have to keep updating that post as the news comes in. Cops n Crooks is going to kick major ass.
 
Those do sound good .. Do you know if we'll be able to play straight free roam multiplayer - muck around in the city as is the ultimate joy of GTA?

I'd really love a mode like the territory capture from SA. That was brilliant, I wasted a lot of time on that. Doing that with multiple people would be great.

I suppose you could always use cheats to set up whatever environment you prefer, provided free roam is an option.
 
It says Free Roam right there. I'm blind.

Great news. I hope there will be plenty of opportunities to partake in big gang battles.
 
Holy shit, OMG, I'm in. I had planned to pre-order, scratch the plan, I'm getting this omg. Also heard they are going to keep DLC going until 2009, awesome.
 
Must...pre-order...immediately.

Glad I'm saving my MS points now. I was planning on buying a ton of Rock Band songs, but screw that now.
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']the free roam is pretty damn close.[/quote]

It very well could be! Hopefully cheats come out allowing users to change the physics. Jumping higher, lower gravity, etc.

Hopefully Rockstar won't take a page out of EA's book and charge us Marketplace Points for cheats :lol:
 
I normally don't pre-order games from GS/EB but I think I will make an exception this time. Multiplayer has me sold just hope that there aren't any lag issues like in most games I play online.
 
I really don't think anyone has to pre order unless GS/EB is running some Pre Order Bonus. I expect there will be a ton avail. and it won't be sold out anywhere.
