Grand Theft Auto IV anyone?
Anyone else looking forward to this?
Most of the known stuff about GTA 4 is posted here:
http://www.gta4.net/news/index.php
I ordered both the PS3 and the 360 version. Not cause I needed to but I first ordered the 360 version and then I thought about the noise level and the possibility of a "meltdown" so I ordered a copy for my PS3 too :P. They'll both get some exclusive content anyway.
I'm also looking forward to the Social Club and the multiplayer which I think it is going to be a nice addition.

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV anyone?
The multiplayer is going to be really good. :)
I pre-ordered this a few weeks ago. It's supposed to come may 1. :idunno:

I'm hoping for a bunch of mods when it comes to PC. Could be a lot of weird new stuff with the euphoria engine.
I feel sorry for your friend though that might not be able to use his own 360 because you'll hijack it every day :P

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV anyone?
One of the reasons why I bought my PS3 last week... :)
Well, that, and the bluray player.
But, yeah, VERY excited about this game. I played all of them (including I & II and those crappy "stories" games). I always giggle like a little girl when I see a character from another GTA in a game... I enthusiastically try to explain it to my girlfriend, who, honestly, couldn't care less...

I think it is personal preference but I like the PS3 better. It's less noisy and I have less trouble with using the analog sticks for aiming. Since I'm a PC guy I like to run Linux on it and Open Transport Tycoon looks pretty cool on a 42" LCD :P
The selection of arcade games on 360 is kinda nice but the PS3 is definitively getting there. The xbox live marketplace should have been like the PS3 one with "real money" instead of those stupid points to buy everything (you always end up buying a couple of hundred points more than you need).
If I had to just buy one of them I would have bought the PS3 but since I got the money I just took them both. Always good to have something to do anyway and they are both fun to play with.
You also have to take into account that they both have some exclusives.

Just tell her that the whole game is a sweet love story with bunnies kissing and everything... Might take some explanation when you get the game though.

Only the 360 version gets exclusive content.
The 360 game is the superior version.

I just thought about that Home stuff on PS3 but I don't know what it will be.
The extra on 360 is of course of more value but you never know what will happen anyway.

In terms of the time it takes to finish, how does it compare with others in the series?
That's a hard question to answer really. I finished the story mode in 24 hours, without skipping cut scenes, but I literally blitzed through and hardly took on any side missions. If I was to play it again (which I will be, right on launch day!) I'd say to wrap up the story will take at least 40 hours at a normal pace, plus another – say, 25? – to wrap up the remainder of the missions. In truth though, you could be paving the streets of Liberty City in a year's time and still not have discovered everything. Plus, if you're a 360 owner, there's the promise of downloadable content to come...[My advice is: just kick back, take your time and breathe every fresh sight and sound in, don't simply rush through just to finish it before your mates. I wish I'd had that option!

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV anyone?
I wasn't really into the first three. Although I did play them and finish them, I just didn't see what everyone loved about them.
But after reading the developer interview in last months EGM, I'm getting kind of excited about it now. Hopefully it's going to be the best one yet.

What do you mean? M$ paid a hefty sum for exclusive downloadable content.
To my knowledge the PS3 version is barred from any DLC so the 360 version is superior.

People like the sandbox aspect of doing what you wanted to do and in evil ways.

I just meant that R* haven't denied the possibility of more downloadable content on both platforms.

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV anyone?
Can't wait for this amazing game. Looks better with every trailer I see. Could have bought an XBOX360 just for it, but I have to wait longer for the PC version, if it ever comes!

Yea they haven't denied it. But if you look it up, only little word is mentioned about PS3 getting content. And the only mention of it was in 2006. I can't find info on it that is recent. But if you can, cool beans.

I couldn't find anything like that on GameSpot... They do have a multiplayer hands on preview and regular gameplay hands on preview.

Wouldn't worry about it cause I don't think it will have any impact on the release of GTA IV.

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV anyone?
I was just thinking about Iron Man releasing only 3 days after GTA4. What a horrible move on there part. People are spending $90+ a pop on this game. I'd at least push it back, or release it a couple weeks before.

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV anyone?
i heard the pc game version was delayed a lot from xbox version :)
I can bearly wait to play this game
-
Re: Grand Theft Auto IV anyone?
People are saying that if EA succeeds in purchasing TTWO then they will wait until Q4 to release the game because of the way they want their earnings per quarter to go. Hope that doesn't happen.

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV anyone?
OH HELLS YES. getting it the day it comes out, and I mean ACTUALLY BUYING IT.

Could GTA IV Disappoint?
gamesradar.com — You've heard the hype. Grand Theft Auto IV is going to be amazing... monumental... revolutionary... life changing... world altering... universe shifting... the best game of the year, if not the best thing in the history of EVER. Or is it...?! Well, yes, probably. . .but. . .
FULL ARTICAL…

GTA IV gets the Bad Cop treatment
While we have seen many overly positive previews so far, GTA IV certainly can't be perfect -- no game is. Luckily there are still some journalists out there who dare to have a slightly critical look at R*'s latest piece. Two of those are IGN's
Patch Kolan and
Cam Shea, who review the game's multiplayer component in
Good Cop, Bad Cop style.
Amongst the things they aren't too happy about are clumsy camera controls, an imbalanced lock-on system, frame-rate hiccups and most worryingly the graphics:
"The depth-of-field blur effect is far too heavily applied to the multiplayer game. Everything that is more than 50 feet down the street from you starts to pixelate and distort strangely, as if filtered through a haze of tiny droplets of vegetable oil."
That is indeed something many people are confused about. In most
screenshots we can see blurry, low-detail buildings (not just in the distance), as well as heavy distortion -- especially in areas of water, foliage and shadows -- resembling a quality known only from paintings. According to a recent
Kotaku article, those distortion filters are intended to actually improve the game's visuals:
"I suspect there's a filter involved, something that gives the world a touch of artistry. [...] Jeronimo Barrera tells me that Rockstar loves its filters. It helps, he says, fool the eye, masks some of the imperfections that games, no matter how next-gen, will always have."
Whether this is for better or for worse and impacts the gameplay noticably, remains to be something players will have to decide for themselves when the game comes to stores later this month.
