R* site updated.......

DILLIGAF

My sister said the computer in gamestop says the 28th of April by the way. I don't know where the 11th came from!

estebancambias

On the Rockstar site it says I can't view the page. This despite the fact that I'm 18, and entered the details in.

~Marky~

Search for the videos in youtube they should have them

Kinetic^

Is this going to have any online features?

Futurism

Yeah,extra missions for the 360,and wikipedia says that it'll have online play.It won't be like an MMO though and they're aiming to have 16 players at one time and have full city exploration.

Benzino

lol, Rockstar are been cheeky now. I have the weazel news add-on thingy on my blog, and when you refresh the page, for a brief second in red writing, it says "GTA IV in stores now".

If you dont know about the weazel news thing, you can get it off the offical website.

Here is a link to my blog, just refresh the page and keep an eye on the weazel news plugin. Clicky

Are you saying it's only going to be online on the 360??

The Freeman

no thats not the case, there is the ful campaign for both consoles,th articles that i read state that microsoft threw something lik 50,000,000 to rare to get exclusive content for the 360, and not just a few new cars or guns, an actual chunk of the game, very smart move imo.

earljustine

I am very much anticipating this to come out for a couple of months now. I have a question when will this game arrive for the ps3?

Creamy Goodness

same day as the 360

suppafly

Yeah but he's Irish.like Irish-American...his mother seems to have an Irish American accent though..obviously he was brought up there...

Like the mafia, nobody would call them American gangsters...its the same with Irish gangs, and criminals.

This is a fairly crap post tbh, but what the hey, gives us something to speculate.

In GTA4 naturally enough there'll be gangs, but one of them will be Irish. This information comes from Lazlow who spent some time recently recording stuff for that gang.

/useless news

hey man when is it being released in ireland?

Nailz

It supposively out on the 29th of April or around then, it's all mixed around April TBH. Different people say different things...

Stephen

April 29th worldwide. Rockstar have confirmed this. If its out earlier then some shop will have broken the release date and can expect a spanking.

Considering the size of the map and the physics involved, i think it looks bloody good. I don't know what you were expecting!

Have you played Mass Effect?Something along those lines was what I was expecting.

mass effect doesn't run nearly the same amount of AI at the same time as GTA. on top of that, mass effect is quite linear in gameplay, so there aren't as many anomalies with player movement when it comes to rendering buildings, backgrounds etc. on top of that, for the most part, AI, cars et al are loaded at random in the GTA world... mass effect has pre-set AI, textures etc. that get loaded in each level. GTA also has no loading times in the world, whereas mass effect has the benefits of being able to load stuff before you ever see it.

He probably wouldn't know what we mean by that anyway. I find his username a bit off, shouldn't be peterk11!?

atest PSM magazine from Spain reveal there will be 15 multiplayer modes

Game Modes:

Hangmans NOOSE
Car Jack City
Bomb da Base
Bomb da Base II
Mafia Work
Team Mafia Work
Deathmatch
Team Deathmatch
Turf War
Cops N Crooks
Race
GTA Race
Deal Breaker
Free Roam

The host of the game makes the rules, in "Race" and GTA Race" he decides the vehicles and laps, in Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch he decides the number of peds, the flow of traffic, the intervention of police and the weapons. We tried a match, all of us armed with rocket launchers, half of city lighting up. (or something like that)

Mafia and Team Mafia work, you will play as one of Kenny Petrovics mafia henchmen, competing to complete hits ordered by the boss over your phone before your rivals. In "cops n crooks" A group of players will play as police, other as criminal, the police must make sure they don't escape alive, they can also see the criminals location ont heir GPS while criminals have no clue as where the police are.

Also in the single player mission "hangmans Noose" there will be co-op, the mission you and your friends will be able to escort a mafia man, while ambushed by the SWAT, but it doesn't end there, carjack, turfwar, bomb da base II, free mode, the 100 hours of single player are nothing compared to the 10 years of multiplayer.

Also, there are a total of 15 multi player modes, all accessed through your cellphone. You will be able to CREATE YOUR CHARACTER FOR ONLINE, change his race, sex, skin color, hair, clothing. 16 players online.

GTA 4 Multiplayer Preview from PLAY - Helicopters!
* Multiplayer can be accessed via your mobile phone during single-player. Select the 'Multiplayer' option and from there you can select game types and send invites out for your friends to join you.

* The host can control things like time of day, vehicle classes (specifically for GTA Race mode), weapon types, traffic, the location of the match, the weather type and choose whether the game will feature police or not.

* As mentioned previously, you can customise your online character. You start off with basic modifications such as sunglasses, hats, tops, trousers and so on, but the more you play the game, the more options you unlock.

* PLAY Magazine saw a random pedestrian spraying graffiti on a shop. Pedestrians have purpose.

* TeamDeath match four can sit in a helicopter non drives can shoot with any weapon

* MAFIYA WORK consists off you being given simply missions as a group and having to
pull them off i.e. recruit people, doing hits or there favorite find and dispose of heads

* Team MAFIYA WORK is more competivive

* Cops n Crooks consists off one player being assigned as the boss while the other robbers protect him from the cops.

* Hangmans NOOSE is four players and consists of you having to prtect Petrovic from the swat from the airport to a safe house

* Free Mode is like single player with mates . Go anywhere do anything

* On customisation the more you play the more you unlock so experianced players will have more objects.

* Team Dethmatch is relentless, you cannot relax

* In HANGMANS NOOSE they tore down the runway in a bagage handeller shoot at the NOOSE- The writer said it was the funniest thing he has seen in a video game

* They saw an NPC tagging a shop

* A rocket destroyed the front of the shop

* TANKS! surronded them

* They played both versions and said theres no diffrence (Kinda wierd for Play magazine because they are usally really biast)

You see, it's the little things that count.

Add this to the fact that you can hear static noise when your phone rings in the car if the radio is on, truck drivers of the same company beeping the horn as they pass, NPC's taking smoking breaks behind work places, NPC's checking the engine when their car breaks down or using payphones and reading the newspaper.

It's things like these that makes a living breathing city, and that's why Rockstar are the best in the biz at doing it.

yeah exactly!!!
