New GTA IV details and No San Andreas Stories for the PSP |
Ó
A lot of people have been clamoring for more details on Grand Theft Auto IV. Fortunately, Official PlayStation Magazine Australia has released some more tidbits on the game and they are quite interesting.For those who saw the demo, Niko (the main character of the game) passes an ATM machine and the option to access his bank account appears. Now, no official word has been given on this yet, but the initial impression is that it will be possible.
The GTA IV physics engine has been tweaked as well which should allow you to actually hear "vehicles passing by with their radio turned on." Hmm, not bad at all. Speaking of driving, the controls have been "tremendously" tweaked and enhanced. They also gave other details on the game which are listed below.
Here are some of the other details on the game from GTA4.net:
- When selecting a contact on your mobile phone, a list of several commands are made available to the player, such as "meet me here," etc.
- Playing the single player game through co-operative mode is not possible, however there will be a co-op mode in addition to all the other unknown multiplayer modes.
- According to Dan Houser, VP of Creative for Rockstar Games, they haven't yet figured out if GTA IV is going to spark off another set of GTA games connected to it, and they're currently just focusing on this single game. He does say he "would have a certain confidence" setting GTA outside the United States, such as England, in the future.

Comments [refresh]
i was looking forward to GTA San Andreas Stories.
That's alright...the other two GTA games are more than enough to keep us busy for a long time...a third really isn't needed..
are really slow this was out like 3 days ago and if they do gta in england i want it to be in cornwall where i live
GTA and MGS are on my list for PS3 games thats for sure :)
they don't need they need to concentrate on gt4. how gta3 are or vice cities. gta san andreas is a big game
Ohh man, that really sucks... Ohh my god. Can't be true.. I was really looking forward for GTA:SAS... A world collapsed in me.
it is odd they wont be making a psp version of the best selling gta. yet make *****ty ports of the other 2.
they should have a big hunger for money.
I kinda agree with u but I wudnt call em Shi.tty
I am so sick of them repackaging the same engine, same gameplay, in a different enviroment with rather similar goals and calling it a new game. Sure, it offers more than a season to season update of Madden or NHL - but it's not worth the cash to me. I have the two 'stories' games on psp - that's enough. Give us a GTA IV rendition and I'll be happy.
I freaking love this game damn i cant wait for this game!
I hate you.
PLEASE NOT ENGLAND THERE IS TOO MANY GAY PEOPLE THERE
too many gay people in england. i dont think gta should be placed there but i surely disapprove of your gay theory. your a fool and do not deserve the life your mother gave to you.
I completley agree with you,
England rules! if you don't like then we'll just have to set it in the north pole.
(Wooh, my gay assed abc nipples are freezing off.)
A-B-C why do you think there are too many gay people in England? is that why it can't be set in England because theres too many gay people?
i wouldn't mind england but wouldn't scream for it because it's not the gta style setting for the game, Enlgand really isn't violent like America or places like that so it wouldn't really suite it
If gta was done in england it would be most certainly done in london. Although I think manchester or even stoke ;) would be great settings
A-B-C is going to get his ass pwned!
If he even got close to saying that in England
he'd get beat so hard (the pain is indescribable).
england roxxxx...
To the contrary my friend. Major cities in England have become plagued with violence and crime somewhere along the last decade. Cities like London are becoming increasing dangerous, with gangs of youths trying to take after people from across the pond. Though I'd guess that if they set it here, they should stick with the main character as a common thug. All this organised crime BS they tries to portray in GTA: London is dead now.
And when you say England is not suited to the GTA style, I think it does need a more refreshed outlook instead of the same cities and missions (hopefully GTA: IV will be the first stepping-stone in Rockstars revolution).
but weed find it. england , been herwe all our lives were play what we want to play, *****!!!
Manchester would be good for a GTA game (BTW I live here). Manchester is full of culture and post victorian history, and also it is has palces in it such as moss side, salford, weaste ect. All those areas are gun culture areas, a few months ago there was a mass shooting in salford and moss side. Tis fun to live where I live :)
I'm not really disappointed in not having a new GTA for the PSP since I wasn't too impressed with the other ones plus they came out on the PS2 a little later anyway. I am looking forward to GTAIV since they are going to redo the engine, I was kinda getting tired of the "same thing different city" thing that they had going with the others. Also there was a GTA game that was set in London, granted it was a while ago before the 3D upgrade. It would be nice to have one set in another country how about GTA Canada.
car radio's as they pass by?! yes please! =D
Just like Saint Row. Come on RockStar...
SHEEZ DIDNT SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE ON QJ WERE ALSO GAY
***** YOU ENGLAND XD
Wouldn't that be sick? To have the next GTA set in Canada? Many people don't know we exist, like ignorant americans who cant spot the big country north of theirs. Not all americans, just ignorant ones.
I can see it now:
GTA Toronto
or
GTA Mississauga
GTA is also an acronym for Greater Toronto Area, so it's very fitting. You can unlock certain cities, start out in brampton.
I AGREE WITH JULIEN ON THAT ONE EXCEPT THE PART ABOUT THE AMERICAN THING
place a gta in aus
oh please,canada sucks.
wow moss side and salford, two places ive been iching to get to in GTA....NOTTT
a 9gb game on a little 1.7 gb umd, thats gonna happen. anyone who needed to be told this is retarded.
too many gay people? that im not sure but there definitly alot of touchy pr!cks with to much time on there hands. apparently england has a stupid epidemic..case and point: everyone who posted above me. go fix yourself a nuse and dive off of big ben. : )
ooooo a bunch of homo's picking on tourists!! what type of post-apocalyptic city are you living in. maybe its just me but GTA:Football hooligan doesnt sound exciting. you homo's need an outlet.
C'mon make a GTA in Australia. How good will it be to run over kangaroos, race down our 2 lane freeways and kill some stupid asians that can't even speak English, why oh why does Australia let in people from other countries that can't even speak English. Then they go on the doll, and us Aussie workers are paying the imogrants for sitting on their ass. There are to many asians, they breed like rats and are going to take over the world with their over populating fetish. Bring back the White Australia Policy!!!
GTA = KICK ASS BTW!
Would all of you jealous, miserable F*cks shut the F*ck up, you are pitiful, honestly. American's are the most copied, envied, obsessed over people on the planet, which is why your prejudice doesnt surprise me. you all reek of shame. maybe someday you will be able to get over your sad complex but until then keep that garbage to yourself. come here and i guarantee you wont here any Americans talking about whatever *****-hole country your from cause frankly we dont give a damn. pfft, little girls.

nuff said, now im off to house a double cheeseburger meal, drink a budweiser, and watch the yankee game. so you depressing bastards can go back to 69ing each other and talking about how much you hate "ignorant" americans. HA your a F*ckin joke to us.
GTA was already in england.
and its better in america.
because america kicks ass.
The game will be great. Most will buy it, who gives a rats ass until the date of sale.
the uhuh guy is retarded since when has sa been 9gbs its not even half that and they could easily make the game smaller.
If they set it in London or Manchester, I'd just drive off to Liverpool to shoot some scousers. Bwahahahakaka
As far as I know, the GTAs for the PSP were made in UK, so if they set a third one anywhere other than US, it should be somewhere in UK, like London. But I don't care about that. I just want a GTA:SAS and I am still hopeful they will make it once GTA IV is done and out.
SA was was around 9gb's of info on a dual layer dvd, do they make dual layer UMD's?
Uhuh, u are so stupid. San Andreas wasn't 9GB to any platform it was 4GB for PC, and only 2,5GB for PS2. And UMD has not 1,7G capacity, it has 1,8GB. With a little bit less radios, a little worse textures it can be under 1,8GB...
ha, you americans suck, your the most obese country in the world, every other country hates you, you have a muppet for a president, and your calling us a joke? I can't wait til your country gets so fat itl sink into the ocean (welcome the new atlantis), ignorant prats. 90 percent of americans dont even have a passport you don't know half the stuff thats going on except outside your little patriotic world. your country is falling apart, and thers nothing you can do about it :p. Plus america is full of violence and crap, thats why gta is set there.
I think a new GTA game needs to be in Amsterdam, there are lots of big criminals and very neat places, and ofcourse: the red light district.
I could've swore that the getaway was similar to GTA.
i have to buy a ps3 i don't have enough money, i was going to work at summer, but that's not enough to 600 euros, now i'm waiting you to launch a PSP GTAIV version with the graphics = to GTAVCS but the same stroy as GTA IV
(don't dissapoint your PSP FANS)
I'm very dissappointed to hear about no san andreas stories.if 1 umd isn't big enough they could use two.i believe a game with 2 umds was announced a month or 2 ago.
As for a gta game outside the usa i think it's not a great idea.Things like that actually happen in that gun happy country.America is the only country you'll find guns lying around on the streets
me too
gta was already in america...
Not very racist at all i see. Its actually you white wankers who are mostly on the dole - look how you spell dole, not DOLL! You see a few and assume every asian is on the dole. Absolutlely pathetic. What White Australia Policy. I do feel sorry for you, you know why - Q: Why is it so hard to find white racist jokes? A: Cause being white is bad enough.
What about florida? That would really piss Jack Thomson off
hell yeah man... a bunch of stupid *****s if you think any country can even surpass the greatness the US has brought to itself.... in 230 years it went from not being in excistance to being the greatest and most powerful country in the world... if that isnt amazing than i dont know what it.
why would there be a gta set in canada... canada is the biggest ***** of a country there is... if the US and their "ignorant" ways as you stated werent a world superpower you would probally be either dead or under german controll
Lets not generalize, yes about 25% of americans are fat and have a low IQ so what? I bet Canadians are close to that. I still think it should be set in Canada. The fact is that Canada has a small population so it's a peacefull country. You don't get to see too many criminal cases here, it would be great for an immigrant's "fresh start" especially since we accept all immigrants.
some of you ppl really need to get a life and stop harasing people and their culture. i think setting GTA in london or another english city would be a pretty cool idea, and a fresh new take on the GTA series. i've heard that there is really a lot of culture in england and the crime, especially underground works would be fun to play with. btw for all of you ignorant people, i'm canadian and neutral on this discussion. lmao imagine a GTA in the GTA (greater toronto area) let's see.... toronto, edmonton, and vancouver haha what an awesome GTA that would be! edmonton's crime rate is through the roof. =)
It's pricks like you who give other white people a bad name. I thought the problem people like you had was asians coming over and stealing our jobs? Now they're all on the dole? The few times I've had to go into a Centrelink office, I think I've seen like 3 asians, and wall to wall white slack jawed idiots like yourself down to drop in a job form you pretended to fill out.
PS for other guy who replied to this wanker: White Australia Policy was a policy that was in effect until some time in the seventies, that did exactly what you think it does.
You have a Computer play it on that
I dont want no posh guy on GTA
if theyre gonna make a GTA:SAS either one of three things will have to happen:
(a). The game is heavily compressed and many features are removed so it can fit on a dual-layer UMD which is 1.8GB (GTA:SA is about 4GB).
(b). GTA:SAS is released on multiple UMDs which is impracticable.
(c). GTA:SAS is released on a new HD-UMD which would only be compatible with future new-gen PSPs (if there are any) that can read it which is very unlikely.
Is Gta4 Cumin out 4 psp thn
Maybe, they could have two UMDs, but to stop annoying disc swapping (which would be available for people with not enough free MS space) give the option to dump the second UMD onto the memory stick?
get a life you sad americanos and see life properly. we in britain build better cars that go round corners than u, we have better people and everyone doesnt weigh 1000000000000000 tonnes
england rules
put that in your pipe sad c%nts
not all ppl have 2gb memory stick and even less are willing to sacrifice 95% of that space for one game. Plus if its on the memory stick ppl will then just pirate it.
they have done it in london gta:london for the psx you need gta 1 to play it tho
thing is grand theft auto san andreas wasnt the best seling grand theft auto game that was gta vice city
come on rock star think off all the money you'll get if you make a gta: sas i my self will buy 1 million copies
they have done london allready and i dont think they will do a english gta again as grand theft auto is beased in edinburgh scotland ( where i live if i must say so) and remeber scottish people and english people have had a 5 century or something fued against each other
GTA was never in america. Just in fictional cities that got resembling names and structure.
Though, correct me if i'm wrong, i don't know where the first GTA were situated.
you lament Americans because some of us have weight problems and we alot of us dont travel. yes, im calling you a jealous bitter laughing stock. you are proving my point with every venomous begrudging word that comes out of your mouth. I pray that America doesnt fall apart because then I may become a low unimaginatve sour puss like you. The sun has long since set on the $hittish empire but the desperation lingers. plus, you have the personality of a rock, get a sense of humor.
all the models etc can be compressed and textures less detailed for the smaller screen, saving space. they could also compress, translate code, whatever.
san andreas is a place in america
why dont rockstar make a gta:world then everyone will be *****ing happy
lol
f**k the rest
UMD's are garbage, we all know that. They're slow, hold at max 1.8 gigs, and are easily copied.
So........ put the game on an 8gig special memstick. This leaves room for the maps, data, music, and saves. This makes a lot more sense.
yea, i was just walking home and litterally picked up three guns on the way home. yea i also highjacked someone for there tank. you clueless F*ck you. every country has bad areas full of crime, only America has interesting locations that everyone knows.
to bad none of them wanna go there, we have a bunch to spare. when you country sucks so bad that even mexicans wont go there, phew, i feel sorry.
wow, your only advantage is that you think you make better cars. the only sad c%nt i see is you. now..sorry to burst your bubble but American cars destroy british cars as far as sales go. so, according to the rest of the world we even have better cars. i guess its back to the old drawing board for you : )
I like how the brits are gleefully jumping at the chance to tell Americans how they feel. Well as a non american let me just tell you this: We hated you long before americans. Its true, if the world dislikes Americans than its a given that we hate Brits. Brits are greedy, imperialistic and pompous as far as most are concerned. while you may think in your near-sighted minds that the world hates Americans the fact reamins almost the entire western hemisphere has for the most part a positve view of yanks. Much, Much more than can be said for brits.
like wtf is wrong wit yo guyz. canada in gta would be entersting but i dont know.austrailia is straight up gay. o i can see it now. NIKO YOUR MISSION IS TO KILL 50 KEROWS IN 1 MINUTE WITH THA BOMARAN. sorry for tha spelling. but that is kinda retarded. and no gta sa for psp sucks

*****!!!*****!! !*****!!!*****! ! !*****!!!*****ING *****!!!*****!!
NOOOOOOO!!!
GTA:SAS is the only UMD i'm gonna buy if it comes out.Damn, i really want that game.
Stop generalising, morons. And who cares if Scotland hates England? Doesn't mean that EVERYONE in Scotland does.
I sympathize all you pathetic fools for even buying a Playstation Portable.Jesus Christ himself only plays the finest among the very many Handheld gaming systems.Of course you might think the PSP is the best but Jesus says NO!,The DS is for me,Alot of people dont know the story of the DS, it was actually created by GOD!!!!!,Thats why the DS features such godly accesories such as the dual screen.
its no big deal that there will be no san andes storys.... just play san andres... its not like san andres storys would be better enyway
GTA 4 is going to suck I dont even thingk its better than GTA SAN ANDREAS what I want is GTA sas on psp I hope rockstar make it on psp its suck that people are taking about GTA 4 I cant afford a PS3 its too much money I afford a psp why is rockstar taking away money that people dont have if GTA sas comes out on psp tommorow I would be the first one to buy it so rockstar if your looking at this plEEEEEEEEEEEEE s for the loooooooooooove of rockstar plEEEEEEEEEEs make GTA SAS on PSP I will never forget U and game makers plEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEs make GTA sa on psp
