Not the best graphics on the gun their really?..But look at some of the other landscape pictures there..unreal

That looks like an old SS to me. The newer ones look so much better. I mean even look how his arm is in that.

Well, the gameplay shown there is probably still in the later stages of development. It's a little rickety but I'm sure they'll roll out all the bugs!

The graphics look good but not quite as good as say COD4, but they were never going to bethat good anway.Sure San andreas was far from the one of the best ps2 games graphically.They were average graphics at best.Graphics are'nt the most important thing in the game but it would be a nice surprise on april 29:cool:

My predictions for GTA IV;

I'l miss the countryside
Being on foot will be more important than ever

That is all.

estebancambias

Yep I really liked San Andreas's mixture of rural and urban landscape.

Kiith

There was way too much empty countryside in SA. You just spent ages driving through fields and stuff, and it got quite annoying after a while. GTA is all about the cities imo.

estebancambias

I loved the soundtrack for SA, so I didn't mind just driving aimlessly around. They probably should have added a few things like Bears, leopards(i think they are in cali) and Bigfoots(lol) which might have added to the suspense..or not.

But I can see what you mean.

yeh but how much country side do you see in new york these days?

the map is plenty big actually bigger than i expected.

estebancambias

Oh none, I'm just going to miss that particular aspect of the game. As kiith said 'GTA is about the City'...I think once I get the game I won't give a damn.

Benzino

new MP screens out and they look frigging awesome

Loved that soundtrack too. Didn't know I had thing for American country music till I played that game

too late now, the game is gone into pressing, it would be damn right suicidal for them to delay it now.

rockstar need money, they need this game to sell, they need it to be released on the 29th.

they aren't going to waste money by having to shelve all pressed copies and go back to development at this late stage, there is just too much cost involved.

i guess this ****** is just looking to jump on the bandwagon and get himself known in the media and chose a slow-news day to do it.

estebancambias

''2% Improvement''

Gay.


Ok lads, what do you think I should do?

When I get the game should I just go straight into the missions, or just spend the first week and a bit driving around getting to know the city until I finish exams?

Aaaaah can't wait for the gta!! Aaaahh!! :pac::pac::pac:

madrab

what does it say??

Kiith

I want to know too!! Damn you work!

stevenmu

It's just an analyst saying that if EA were to take over Take-2, there would be a good reason for them to delay it (holiday sales). Just some idiot hoping to draw attention to himself though. It's not going to happen though, Take-2's position is that they should wait till after release to even consider selling out to EA (which makes a huge amount of sense, on the back of a successful launch their shares will be worth much more). And unless there's secret talks moving things forward at the moment (which is very unlikely since the board have made a public position to the shareholders they have to answer to), it's unlikely EA would get control before release date. Not to mention the contracts they would have in place with MS, Sony and game retailers all over the world.

Stephen

Falling into EA's hands would be the worst possible thing to happen to GTA

Imagine the next version of GTA with EA Trax and in-game advertising and herpes :eek:

more multiplayer screenshots!!:D

Creamy Goodness

how is this multiplayer going to work, i ****ing hope the god they have their own servers as they can **** right off if they think i'm piggy backing on some crappy adsl connection shared between 8-12 players.

Kiith

There wont be dedicated servers. Live! doesnt work that way unfortunatly. I can see lag being a massive problem, at least at first.

dougie-lampkin

Wow those shots look very giggity :eek:

Can't wait to find a Honda Civic-esque car and cruise with da boys

But seriously, I couldn't deal with another delay...The game is finished at the moment, all they are probably doing is getting orders ready and bundling it up...so they would lose money if they waited, by having to cancel all orders and unpackage and destroy all of the old stuff, and paying the programmers for another 3+ months of coding, all for a "2% improvement"...and I bet loads of people would then not buy the game, simply because of the delays...Is it just me, or has every big GTA game been delayed? I'd swear they're actual release date was 29th April, but they deliberatly set it earlier for a staged delay to build tension...

</rant>

Stephen

Not sure about that Kiith, apparently Burnout Paradise relies on dedicated servers in the background.

Oh God no.
I think Ill give multiplayer a skip if there's even a hint of boy-racers

you wouldn't think of torching the bejaysus out of them no?

Jimbo

Hehe. Never thought of that. There's hope yet

Stephen

Bollocks. That P2P sh1te is the worst thing about console multiplayer.

dougie-lampkin

Pity. SA_MP is great on PC, if you get a good server. 150+ players and no lag :rolleyes:

I'm going for the PS3 title as well, which isn't exactly kind on bandwidth, especially with wireless...

one of the main reasons i refuse to pay for xbox live tbh. i don't mind ps3's online being ****e because i'm not charged for it. but MS being money grabbing bastards charge you so you can be hosted on a ****ty 1mbit adsl line.

i'd imagine the multiplayer will crash and burn no mattter how good it is, and if it doesn't well then rockstar will have some mighty fine netcode on par with id software's netcode in the olden days.

Maybe the PS3 will have dedicated servers?

The official site has been updated again.

This is really annoying me now. I can't get access to the thing because I entered in the birthdate wrong about 2 months ago, or whenever the site opened.

clear your browser temp. internet files.

slinky2000

Sory Cremo, that wont make a different, It uses a shared object rather than a cookie

delete your shared objects here:

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\

<username> Is your account name on your computer

You'd be surprised what sits are storing info on your computer without you knowing it through flash!

estebancambias

cheers for that, but I can't find the marcromedia file.

Dutch_Druid

Instead off looking for it, just type the address into the address bar on 'my computer' (substituting your own username) and you'd get there

stevenmu

What you need to do is go to the macromedia flash player settings manager. That will show you all flash cookies stored on your pc and you can delete them.
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager06.html

It's ridiculous that it stores info about you in this way without prompting by default, that you have to go to this website to clear it, and that it's available to any website that feels like checking your browsing habits.

Intro to GTA IV. At the end there's about a minute of gameplay, so you can skip ahead if you don't want to spoil the start.

stevenmu

Thanks danANfear. Gameplay starts at 6:18 in for anyone who wants to skip the intro

Auvers

a little birdy had told me the game has leaked onto the more illicit corners of da interweb. Very tempted
