the next gta games
Some new GTA IV gameplay details have emerged in the latest issue of UK magazine PLAY. Here are some of the new points:
:McReary, the character we heard about in GamesTM, is a corrupt cop. He has "dirt on Niko's past." The mission they previewed is called "Call and Collect."
:Little Jacob (the caribbean arms dealer) is a good friend of Niko's cousin. When you buy weapons from him (which are kept in his trunk) you can scroll through them like you did in Ammu-Nation.
:Rotterdam Hill (the place where Niko agrees to meet Jacob) is in Alderney - the GTA IV equivalent of New Jersey.
:Niko kills Goldberg (the shady lawyer) because he owes a favour to somebody.
:Rockstar showed the sequence where he kills Goldberg twice. The first time he fell out the window, the second time he merely crumpled on the floor.
:When buying clothes, you have to choose the items from the shelf individually.
:Determining which figures you need to kill requires perception - there are no arrowheads to direct you like in the previous games.
:Once you gain a wanted-level, the map flashes with circles of blue and red, with each circle representing the line of sight of the police chase. The circles differ in size depending on your wanted-level.
:The default camera view when driving rests around the left-hand size of the car above the road.
:Multiplayer is accessed via your mobile phone.
:thumbsup:
Why you should get it for 360..
This is from the E3 2007 Tuesday Microsoft Press conference... must see.
YouTube - GTA IV at E3 2007 Microsoft Press Event
A few neat little tidbits of information.
Cheers mate! God I need a next gen system:(
More info.

Some new (relatively minor) details have emerged in the latest issue of the Official Xbox Magazine (US):
OXM
* We find out that McReary's first name is Francis, and that he knows about a felony Niko committed. It also mentions that McReary has a moustache, which suggests he is the character seen in this official artwork.
* The weapons on offer by Little Jacob included a 9mm, a shotgun, an SMG, and a micro SMG.
* Before Niko submitted his cv/résumé to the Goldberg, Ligner & Shyster website, OXM got a quick glimpse of his work history and qualifications. It notes that Niko was on the "Balkan Peace Force," and that he is procificent in swimming, shooting and boxing (it also says later in the preview that you are able to swim to the Statue of Happiness, or get a boat there.)
* Niko steals a black Comet before heading to the Humboldt River Viewpoint, to kill the man who stole McReary's memory stick.
* GTA IV will include a pool mini-game, and many other mini-games. "You'll play at least some of these while hanging out with NPCs like Little Jacob."
* Neither the 9/11 terrorist attacks nor Ground Zero will be referenced in any way in the game.
* The receptionist from Goldberg, Ligner & Shyster, who calls Niko to inform him about his interview, is called Karen.
There is also a GTAIV fact sheet now.
GTAForums.com -> Grand Theft Auto IV Factsheet
And Melkane, that video you posted really makes me happy that I purchased a 360 instead of a ps3.
a few new ones.
:A thin green band around the minimap on your HUD indicates your health. (Could a second band be added to indicate armor?)
:Physically, Liberty City is not as big as San Andreas. It covers approximately 3/4 the total area that San Andreas did.
:Playstation Magazine confirms the [default] camera angle shift in GTA IV. Your view is no longer stuck hovering over the vehicle. When you get behind the wheel, the camera drops down and to the left, following the middle of the road.
so excited...

: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.
looks like carrying grenades at all times is going to become a must...Quote:

one thing im wondering about is why ps3 is a few weeks behind?
it could be maybe ps3 has more smaller details (better graphics ect)or 360 is easier to develope on.
(btw dont let this post turn this thread into a fanboy fuckfest)
I'm so excited, i wonder if the shooting gameplay is going to be kind of like gears of war and rainbow six where you have to take cover all the time. That would be cool if they had a duck and cover system like gears.
yeh that would be pretty sweet if the duck and cover was something similar to gears of warQuote:

GTA IV DELAYED 4-6 MONTHS
From gta4.net
Quote:
Take-Two is reducing its fiscal 2007 guidance primarily to reflect the movement of the launch of Grand Theft Auto IV for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and the Xbox 360? video game and entertainment system from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 to fiscal 2008, due to additional development time required to complete the title. The title is now planned for release in the Company??s second quarter of fiscal 2008.
Strauss Zelnick, Chairman of Take-Two, stated, ??With Grand Theft Auto IV, Rockstar is setting a new standard for next generation video games. Certain elements of development proved to be more time-intensive than expected, especially given the commitment for a simultaneous release on two very different platforms. We all recognize that perfecting the game is vital and I can assure everyone it will be worth the wait. We owe it to the game??s millions of fans, to our dedicated development team, and to our shareholders to make sure that Grand Theft Auto IV is a groundbreaking gaming experience that takes maximum advantage of next generation technology.?
Sam Houser, Founder and Executive Producer of Rockstar Games, added, "The new consoles are allowing us to create the Grand Theft Auto game we always dreamed about. Every aspect of the game and its design has been completely transformed. The game is huge and is pushing the hardware platforms to their absolute limits. The top engineers from Sony and Microsoft are working closely with the team in Edinburgh right now, helping us to fully leverage the power of both platforms. As always, our goal is to surpass even the wildest expectations of the game??s fans, and to create the ultimate high definition video game experience."
So pissed. We still have bioshock, halo 3, and Assasin's Creed to look forward too.
omfg WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?Quote:

Yeah there's Halo 3 and Mass Effect which are interesting but GTA IV was the game I couldn't stand waiting for and now we have half a year to wait again if not longer. I'm beyond disappointed. Well I'll just worry about pre-ordering Mass Effect now though and paying off Halo 3.
YOU HAVE BETTER FUCKING BE SHITTING ME..... I'M ABOUT TO GET SERIOUSLY PISSED......Quote:

Why god why!!!!!!!!
IT'S A SIGN, NEXT COMES LOCUSTS!
man fuck this... i'm fucking pissed...
this had better be the best game ever if they're delaying 4-6 goddamn months for development...
Hey rockstar, here's an idea, manage your time better so you can actually get your fucking game out to the release date instead of sticking your finger up your ass and just using the release date as hype.
GTA4 DELAYED TILL APRIL 2008!! - Grand Theft Auto Series - PlayStation.com Forums
post that there.... it's highly unlikely they'll see it here... but almost every game designer watches that forum... infact, alot moderate their section....
like, killzone and guirella games.
do I have to sign up for a membership?Quote:

but the forums are also for everything else playstation (they are the playstation forums after all... )
I gotcha. Yeah I know they're not trolling weed boards to see what people think but idk, if I wanna do all that work. but thanks for the link.
damn that sucks. i guess it's good though because it'll give me the chance to get 360 for christmas and then use birthday money from march in april to get gta 4.
UK Rebellion.com: Xbox 360 problems delay GTA IV. Microsoft bans Playstation 3 release.
if i find out this is true... i'm no longer going to be tollerant of xbox and it's people...
damnit.... all the gta's so far, never one delay... then with SA xbox people started pushing for a port, and now the next one is decided to be on that system... and NOW there's a huge delay..
:mad: FUCKING MICROSOFT! DIE!
If that reason is true, then good planning Microsoft. That's just smart business. And frankly I'd be annoyed if Sony got it first yet again and when we finally got it have to put up with Sony fanboys screaming (OLD!).
that's gay as hell, I hate ps3 but I'd rather get it early and be able to play on a friends ps3 then wait for it.Quote:

A delay while so fucking annoying can be a great thing as far as game quality goes. It may be selfish of me, but I have to agree with MS's decision and feel that if I can't get GTAIV in October, then no one should be able to.
