ixcuincle Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 In addition , over 20 hours of bonus content are included for 360 systems. They may overheat when you're playing but they've got better content than the ps3's :jive: http://blog.wired.com/games/2007/06/take_two_gets_5.html "Microsoft paid take-two 50 million for exclusive content that PS3 will not have. In the end GTA IV on xbox 360 will have over 20 hours of content that PS3 won't have. I'm an owner of both systems.... but for this game if I only had a PS3 I would be very angry."

BigRog Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 Karl Lagerfeld, one of the most influential fashion designers of the late 20th century, confirmed to be in GTA4 http://www.catwalkqueen.tv/2008/04/karl_lagerfeld_10.html Steal a glimpse inside 'Grand Theft Auto IV' By Marc Saltzman for USA TODAY It's expected to be the biggest event of the year for gamers: Grand Theft Auto IV launches April 29 for the Xbox 360 and PS3. Some analysts predict publisher Rockstar Games (rockstargames.com) will sell more than 6 million copies in Week 1 and up to 9 million by fall. At Rockstar's headquarters, I got an early look for USA TODAY. Story You're Nikolai "Niko" Bellic, who leaves his rough Eastern European town to pursue the American dream. His American cousin, Roman, promises that the streets are paved with gold; but Niko discovers he was lured here to work for Roman's small cabstand and help him get out of debt with loan sharks. SCREENSHOTS: Peek inside the game To survive, Niko makes money, connections and a name in the criminal underworld. As you'll discover, Niko had his own reasons for wanting to leave his homeland. FIND MORE STORIES IN: Web | New Jersey | New York City | Israeli | Xbox | Eastern | Week | Times Square | Central Park | Roman | Dow Jones & Co. | Liberty City | Algonquin | Grand Theft Auto IV | Arguably | GTA San Andreas | Team Deathmatch | Hangman | Crooks | Niko | Noose Location and look Players return to Liberty City from 2001's GTA III, modeled after New York City and New Jersey. (Manhattan is called Algonquin, Times Square is Star Junction, Central Park is Middle Park.) Every time you hop into a car you'll have access to many local radio stations, each with a different music genre and humorous DJ. And while the game world is smaller than the cities found in 2004's GTA: San Andreas, it is fleshed out with incredible detail, realistic graphics, motion-captured videos, more verticality (such as access to skyscraper rooftops) and a 24-hour day-and-night cycle (two minutes of game time equals one hour). Game play As with past GTA games, IV can best be described as a non-linear "sandbox" world, populated by pedestrians and cars that obey traffic lights, in which you can go anywhere and do anything. Players will take on dozens of missions over the course of this game, assigned by the characters you'll meet. One challenging mission is to get the address of an informant, and you must carjack a cop cruiser to gain access to the police computer. How you accomplish this task is up to you: You can call 911 on your mobile phone so an officer comes and then take his car; shoot at pedestrians until the police arrive; or stealthily steal a cop car from a police station. More so than in the past, gunplay is an important part of GTA IV, whether it's on foot or while driving, and players will also master hand-to-hand combat based on the Israeli krav maga combat style. Multiplayer and more Arguably the biggest new feature in GTA IV— and a first for the series — is online play for up to 16 gamers. Both cooperative and competitive modes will be available, including Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch ("frag," or kill, as many players as you can before the time is up); GTA Race (race your vehicle to the finish line, while firing weapons at rivals); Cops N' Crooks, a team-based mode that pits the police against thugs trying to protect their boss; and Hangman's Noose (a four-player co-op mode). Among other features: downloadable missions after the game ships (Xbox 360 only); characters who remember if you helped them or not (which may affect if they'll assist you in the future); mini-games such as bowling, pool and arcades; access to e-mail and the Web for info and missions; and optional in-car GPS navigation so you don't need to look at the map as much. Gamers who want a taste can watch the latest trailer at rockstargames.com/IV. Controversy Not unlike previous GTA games, Grand Theft Auto IV will ruffle feathers among concerned parents, politicians and activists. You still can kill police, but it's wiser to avoid these shootouts because if you're arrested, you'll lose all your money and weapons and fail the mission. Though they'll try to jump out of the way, you also can drive into pedestrians. Players can again proposition prostitutes to get a "health boost." Exotic pole dancers are in the game — but there is no nudity, nor is there a hidden sex mini-game, à la "Hot Coffee," which landed the game publisher in hot water in the past. You also can drink and drive in this game, and if you choose to go out partying with friends, at the end of the night you can walk home, hail a cab or drive; if you drive, your vision is blurred, making it harder to control the vehicle. Finally, GTA IV contains plenty of foul language. In short, heed the "Mature" rating on the box. It's not appropriate for players under 17. http://www.usatoday.com/tech/gaming/2008-0...-4_N.htm?csp=34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRog Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 Ya see, that is why it will be a great game. In san andreas me and my younger brother just did the 2 player mode. The only thing was that with one car and a limited amount of space to travel between the two of you, you couldn't much. Now with unlimited ability to walk away from your friend and more then one car anything can happen. Hell, you can turn GTA into nascar but just cap your friends tires instead of running him off the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brutushayesosu Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Is there a multiplayer mode that just allows goofing around? No goals, time limits, scoring. Just join in and do whatever you want? If not, they need to add that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRog Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 http://www.videogamesblogger.com/2008/04/0...layer-facts.htm What follows is the Grand Theft Auto 4 multiplayer facts sheet (Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3). The action-adventure game supports up to 16 players in all adversarial modes, except for co-op which is a maximum of 4 players. The players are ranked from 0-10, picking up money in multiplayer increases your rank. Options in each mode are dictated by the host - among the options they can change are location of the matches (can be entire city, one borough at a time, or even small sections within the borough), types of weapons available, time of day, weather, use of auto-aim, police presence, NPC presence, and tons more. GTA Race sees the host choosing the class of automobile, each player can choose a car within that class. Races can include helicopter and boat races as well. Multiplayer Modes: Pre-order Grand Theft Auto 4 for Xbox 360Team Deathmatch Classic deathmatch done Grand Theft Auto style. Go anywhere, do anything: the whole city is yours. 16 players max, teams can be made in any configuration. Weapons on the ground can be configured by the host. Capitalism rules here: the team with the most money in the end is the winner. GTA Race Rockstar North’s twist on the concept of a race. Host selects vehicle type (each racer selects his or her specific vehicle after that), race, number of laps, and time limit. Despite ordered checkpoints, players can go anywhere in the city at any time. Do you want a straightforward race from start to finish or do you want to create a roadblock and shoot rockets at your fellow racers? The choice is yours - each player does it slightly differently. 16 players max. Cops N Crooks 2 teams, 2 vastly different goals. The cops can see the crooks on their radar but the the crooks can only see the escape point making this the ultimate cat and mouse situation. For the first time, players can get a chance to be on the other side of the law in a Grand Theft Auto with Cops n’ Crooks. A team of “crooks†need to get their boss to safety, as the team of “cops†pulls out every trick in the book to try and stop this from happening. Again, 16 players max. Hangman’s NOOSE Co-op in Grand theft Auto IV is a 4 person affair. Each mode is a short, story-based mission you must complete with your friends. In Hangman’s NOOSE you must get crime boss to an extraction point alive. First, several of Liberty City’s finest need to be dealt with and then transport must be secured. Will you take Kenny to safety in an armored car? How about a motorcycle or attack chopper? The choice is all yours. — Via Kotaku, from Rockstar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
