[PS3] GTA IV multiplayer thread [PS3]

i'm guessing that the majority probably have the 360 version but for the possible few that have the ps3 version and want to play online my psn is AniZeke. I just popped in the disc like ten seconds ago so i'm ganna try my hands on single player first

Most amazing jew boots

I also want some time with single player since all I did today was beat the first two missions.
I tried to get into multiplayer within the phone but it said there was some connection failure with the server or something so I haven't even tried it yet.
But yeah, I might be free this saturday around the same time for some online action, that is of course if I can get online.
Game is awesome btw, six axis isn't perfect but it was fun just trying to fly the helicopter with it, altho i won't be trying again soon ^^;

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yesterday I wasn't able to connect at all but now everything seems fine, so for those of you who had the same problem you might be able to connect online now

How ya doing, buddy?

I know what you mean, I saw two other people but I killed one then after that I took a motorcycle to find more and I ended up lost in the beach. I guess free mode is exactly how it sounds like. Although since freemode has no mark for the players and you can travel around a whole city it would be a lot more fun if it were at least 30 players around the city.
I didn't even get up to the missions that let me use a gun so once I jumped into online was the first time I shot something ~_~

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

haha yeah it was, I was figuring out most of the controls and map icons during the game and I was surprised how much a car can be effected by damage. I just tried out gta race and that was a lot of fun we should try it next time

I was speaking idiomatically.

it's the same for ps3. people with mics can chat in the lobby and in the multiplayer modes. I plugged in my old logitech ps2 headset but I don't know if it works for gta4 but I did have the mic icon next to my name.
I don't think keyboards are supported either.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

hmm well we didn't get to see it since it was free play but when your choosing a game mode (such as race, deathmatch etc.) and all the other players are waiting theres a black screen with the players names and a list of the rules and mode and cars and such.

FELIPE NO

I was actually just going to try out single player to record some gamplay but then Turbo accepted my friend request sooner than expected and he invited me to a game which I decided to record. And since both of us were just messing and it was my first time online and actually shooting a gun, it was very fun.
Especially since there were so many little details about the game to enjoy and it's so funny when hitting or getting hit by a car.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

well I my pc broke down a while ago but luckily my tv tuner card still worked and since it had a video out plug I used it to plug in the ps3.
I used virtual dub so record it but youtube made it lose it's quality but ah well still it was funny to see myself get run over by that motorcycle.....and then by that yellow car....hell I just love the physics.
I tried bowling in single play and I was wondering, in freeplay can we set up bowling or pool matches? that would be interesting/awesome. Plus I found bowling to be a lot more fun with the sixaxis

Jam it back in, in the dark.

sure but I probably won't be able to get online until 12am east.
I was wondering though, around 4:35 into the video did that fire hydrent send you flying. It looked so damn funny

How ya doing, buddy?

The servers were a bit whacked out right now but hopefully it'll be fine by 9. I'll definitely be up for it, hopefully we'll have a few people

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

oh man that sucks. I'm betting your on 60gb ps3, I wish rockstar would have paid more attention on the ps3 side. It's like they finished the game, checked if it started up and left it as is.

"The 9+ pages on the Playstation Forums recommend that Playstation3 owners delete the game data from the harddrive and then reinstall the game, but according to Rockstar support, this isn’t a guarenteed solution."

as it says, its not garunteed so if that doesn't work I'm guessing you'd have to wait for a patch that fixes it if thats possible.

How ya doing, buddy?

yeah I was thinking the same thing. I would save my save data in a usb stick before I try it just in case.

Send me an invite if you want to bust heads Or race cars. Steal money. Whatever.

Also, a request: All PS3 users must get headsets! It's really silly to be in GTA games where maybe one or two people have voice chat going on and the rest can't hear anything that's said. Makes for pretty much nonexistent teamwork if there's teams involved.

so true about the headset thing. When some people do have a headset sometimes they don't say anything.
I have a ps2 headset that came with kareoke revolution but the earpiece broke so i had to set it up so that I hear all the chat through the tv speakers. Even tho the ps3 detects the headset I dunno if anyone can hear me, I only tried once and no one responded.
I'll probably pick up a cheap 20 dollar headset tomorrow especially since my ps3 library is growing with online games.

I was speaking idiomatically.

awesome, I'm glad it worked. I would have been both frustrated and pissed if that would have happened to me.
Anyways I just got a new headset which I still need to try out so if anyone wants to play later then send an invite. Actually, If anyone ever see's me online at all at any time then just send an invite if ya ever feel like playing online since I get a lil bored of going straight through the missions sometimes
