Grand Theft Auto IV

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV

It's funny how you don't see NYPD going after movies and television shows that they are also portrayed in. What's next? Copyrighting the NYPD name and logo so it can't be used on TV or in video games? :P
 
Re: Grand Theft Auto IV

We all know every group (FBI, Police, Military, CIA, etc.) all have good and bad people in them. All of them need to suck it up and stop worrying about their image so much.

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV

Ahhh, if only life was like a video game, Rhadiel could've enable an infinite health cheat and run the cop over with his own car.... Oh wait, some people think life is a video game and think they can do that.:P

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV

As for the preview content itself, here's a general summary of what the new GTA IV previews tell us:
  • The demo which was shown is from the Xbox 360 version of the game. The PlayStation 3 version is still "a week or two behind," according to Rockstar. The build shown is 5 weeks old, and the framerate has improved considerably since the last demo.
  • At Star Junction (the GTA IV equivalent of Times Square) there is a theatre show on called T.S Pirate at the Thespian Theatre, and a camera store called Liberty Cameras. On the way to Rotterdam (where Little Jacob is situated) they passed a cocktail bar called "Bahama Mamas."
  • Little Jacob is a Jamaican gun dealer from Dukes (the GTA IV equivalent of Queens.) The weapons on offer were $100 a piece.
  • The name of each street is displayed at the bottom right of the screen as you enter it. During the demo, Niko passed through the following areas: Presidents City, Chinatown, Lancet, Hatton Gardens, Middle Park East, Lancaster, Ruby Street, Cod Row, Denver Avenue, Exeter Avenue, Northwood, East Holland, Silicon Street, Quartz Street, The Triangle, Easton, Diamond Street and Calcium Street.
  • After hailing a taxi, you need to press Y to get in one, although the controls haven't been finalised. You have the option of sitting back and enjoying the ride, using the "trip-skip" option, or paying double the fare to make the driver go twice as fast. Inside the taxi, you can see and talk through to the driver in the front. The camera view changes every 5 seconds - read descriptions of the different camera views here.
  • The TW@ Café is located in Algonquin, north of Middle Park (Central Park.) Niko submits a fake résumé/cv to the Goldberg, Ligner & Shyster website, at McReary's request. For the interview he must to goto 44 Emerty Street, The Exchange, Algonquin (visit Kikizo to see dialogue from this mission.)
  • There is a yellow light cone representing an objective, which triggers a cutscene when you walk into it.
  • Francis McReary wears a black suit and tie, has a moustache and slicked blonde hair with a strong side parting. (dialogue of the conversation with McReary can be found here.) The person who blackmails McReary is at Union Drive East. McReary texts Niko the phone number of the blackmailer, so that he can phone it and identify who is the target. The name of the cell network is "Whiz." A black comet is used for this mission.
  • The default camera angle is slightly over to the drivers' side. Different angles are available however. You can move the camera aswell, but if you're not touching it, it will remain at the more central position leaning towards the drivers' side.
  • Currently, the total number of wanted stars is 6 - the same as it was in previous Grand Theft Auto games.
  • There is a GPS system in the car, and the recommended route shows up in yellow on the radar at the bottom left of the screen.
  • You can auto-target as well as manual aim. Niko can take cover behind just about anything, and so can the cops.
  • It also revealed that Goldberg's (the shady lawyer) first name is Tom.

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV

mm, I'm impressed with Rockstar with the amount of effort they're putting into GTAIV. Especially with the whole major overhaul with the realism in the game this time around. As for the whole police quarrel with the game, it's just dumb to be honest. The only reason they pick on the video games that portray them and not the movies or shows, is because video games are an easy target to be blamed for bad influence, and whatever. Especially a game like Grand Theft Auto, since alot of pedestrian crimes have been cheaply blamed on GTA (anything to save their asses from doing time). "Oh, i'm going to run some old lady over with my Chevy 4x4 and then blame it on the influence of a video game :w00t:" :getlost: especially when alot of people who do the crimes are 18 and older, it's just silly. But from the looks of it, the police won't make much of a difference to the game's release, or any difference at all.
 
Re: Grand Theft Auto IV

i was reading a 360 magazine and they were discussing potential features for the game and the one that caught my interest was having to fill cars with petrol. although alternatively you could just steal a new one.
 
Re: Grand Theft Auto IV

I think I read something that implied that you could apply for jobs? No mobster type jobs either, normal nine to fives. I'm not sure though so don't quote me.
 
Re: Grand Theft Auto IV

I'm pretty sure that was just to get an interview so you could get close to a guy that you are asked to kill. Really looking forward to the free aiming, somthing the console versions have been lacking for ages! I take it that everybody has read the IGN article about the 45minute demo they were witness to.
