[Multiplatform] Grand Theft Auto IV. Not as much fun as shooting real Albanians

[Official Site]

[Wiki]

[IGN]

Release date: spring 2008

Saw the trailer today and wow this is gonna be an awesome game, I guess. I don't have a PS3 yet but it seems that I have to get one in October (I hope the price has dropped a bit until then!)
Another cool thing: It's playing in NYC! A spokesman for Mayor Michael Bloomberg said "The mayor does not support any video game where you earn points for injuring or killing police officers", but I think he can go fuck himself.

Your first impressions?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

What "facts" are you talking about? Nobody has seen GTA IV on the PS3 yet, so nobody can say whether or not the "PS3 version of GTAIV is going to be supreme", and as far as I can see, nobody did.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

You should have noticed, though, that I made a mistake in that post which was pointed out to me in a very clearly manner exactly one post later.

Umm that's because I actually didn't know there was a GTA IV for 360 as well. Look, I'm not some PS3 fanboy or whatever you think I am because, umm well, I don't even have one yet.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Hehe yeah, that's true, but then again, that's nothing new as far as GTA is concerned

Yes umm okay thanks for your post, but for your information (FYI), I corrected my statement at least twice in this thread

I was speaking idiomatically.

Only four more days until the next trailer =D

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Haha, that trailer was hilarious. I swear, it's the accent which is gonna make this game a great game. "plz no more killin", haha. The background music was pretty shit, but that's okay.

FELIPE NO

GTA IV coming out in Q2/2008 will have to compete with much more other games than if it had come out in autumn 07. Also, I gonna assume that a lot of people are pissed now, so I think that the sales figures will be even lower.

I am not really surprised about these news since there have been rumors and all, but half a year, that's kinda gross.

How ya doing, buddy?

Little Big Planet, Devil May Cry 4 and MGS 4, and hey, don't you forget Madagascar 2: The Lost Island

But I guess you're right, people will buy it either way.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I dunno what to say about the trailer, I thought it was very weird

Most amazing jew boots

I heard Rockstar already sent a package to ign.com (that's what they do since SquareEnix got fucked with the awesome KH2 review for not sending one), now the question only is: which number behind the 9? Well, maybe we will see the first 10.0 who knows

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

This is not really surprising. The videos and the images already told you that this would happen as well as the fact that they postponed the game several times and the fact that it's not really reasonable to bash a game that is without any doubt going to change videogame history, whether you like it or not.

I mean, I can understand that now there are some people extremely disappointed that IGN didn't fuck up like they did with Kingdom Hearts 2 two years ago, they still think it's one of the biggest hypes in videogame history, but in the end, as I said, whether you like it or not, this seems to be an awesome game. I mean, does it really matter whether it's a perfect ten or just a nine point eight?

How ya doing, buddy?

You might be correct there, sir!

Anyway, from what I've heard, the differences are very slim, the dude from IGN maundered something about framerate hitches, but I don't know who fucking cares as long as the rest is perfect.

Wow, they also have a Jazz radiio station, how cool is that

Hey guys, do you happen to know whether or not it is possible to have multiplayer games between NTSC and PAL users (I heard there were games that do not support this) or do I have to get the NTSC version in order to be able to play with you faggots?

FELIPE NO

How does the game end?

lol I hope you already pre-ordered your 4 GHz 8 GB RAM 16 GB video card desktop pc

How ya doing, buddy?

Well yeah, I guess people who are used to play Burnout Paradise or other extremely realistic racing games will have a few problems here.

In order to answer my own question, it seems that neither the Xbox360 nor the PS3 version is region-locked for online play. Which is good.

GTA IV isn't Region Locked for Online Play - PS3Forums

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hey, good news for AU/NZ players:
IGN: Aussie GTA IV Censorship Update - Hookers not cut from Aussie version

Shin, you get the PAL version, right? You need to tell me whether you will be able to play with NTSC users, okay?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Ahaha it's already sold out in Germany.

Also, did you know that Uwe Boll was planning to make a GTA movie? I read it somewhere on the internet, I will try to post the link later.

I ordered my copy on eBay.

I want to give you guys a head start before I get my copy next week, so that you can prepare for your 0wnage

This should be no problem at all. I will spend the next days trying to figure out a strategy. I will let you know when I'm done

FELIPE NO

Sorry dude, I live in Old Europe, not in the United States of Awesomeness
