New screens, details from GTA IV extended preview |
Ó
Here's something you've been itching for: new details straight from IGN's preview of Grand Theft Auto IV (Xbox 360, PS3). From what we've been hearing, GTA IV isn't just all about hype - looks like Rockstar will really deliver a phenomenon as promised.
Some of the info listed have been revealed before, but we're sure that a snippet or two will catch your interest. Summing up IGN's report, here is what's hot with GTA IV:
- Star Junction, Rockstar's version of Times Square, is very lively. Pedestrians are more realistic, performing various activities like smoking, reading, eating, or dialing phones while not paying attention.
- Cabs can take you anywhere, call them anytime by whistling.
- Every street has a name.
- Internet can be accessed from any working computer. Browse various sites, use online dating services, and even send resumes online.
- After sending a resume, it normally takes some time before getting a response (must be one of the time specific missions Rockstar was talking about).
- Missions will require some investigative elements.
- Shooting people is more realistic, matching the game's look.
- Cops have a circular area of given radius depending on the severity of the crime, must get outside radius to remove wanted stars.
- When found by the cops, the circle re-centers on your location.
- Clothes available for purchase are more grounded and more realistic.
- Free aiming will allow you to shoot anywhere while in third-person.
- New system allows you to take cover behind "anything that would make sense" during shootouts, but most covers are easily destructible.
- No more Ammunation. Guns can be purchased from guns dealer named Little Jacob who's driving around with a packed trunk.
- Phone lets you check your email, keep a list of contacts, take pictures with its camera, and remind you of events via calendar.
- Making calls will help a lot in making relationships, playing a part in determining who will work for you.
- No more heart containers, food and rest will be the only means of health recovery.
- Map has GPS tracking, shows the quickest route to get to target destination.
- Camera, both on-foot or while driving, is tighter to allow you to see straight ahead a little more.
- Current soundtrack will blow you away, but licensing issues might do some changes.

FIRMST COMEENT SDSDFASDFDZSFws f
think ima like this game taht much its just not there why am i not exited about it ??/ gess its just lookin so un GTA likely
this game is gonna lose something' but N E wayz'''' i never went super crazy' and killed prostitutes
hope it has car customization'
I was like the second and third posters, not to excited about this game, that was until I saw the second trailer. the way that team xbox and IGN described the mission where niko called the guy then spotted him in the crowd on his phone, hung up to make sure it was him then casually strolled up and put a cap in his dome,
that made me feel more interested, because they said that all the journalist in the room went "DDDDAAAAAAMMMMN NNN" when they heard the gun shot and saw how the crowd reacted,not to mention the bullet impacting the guy's dome, they said it was jarring.
Im kinda feeling this new more realistic approach, but as always more videos will continue to feed my interest, cant wait to see more.
I think this game is going to be too realistic and might get boaring after 3 weeks..I enjoy every gta game (vice city,san andreas,gta3 and others).. the reason it wasnt too realistic.that cop circular thing is going to get anoying..and the phone.im going to beat every gta game again before this game comes out.
Im getting more impressed with R*. Im really looking foward to hear more about the soundtrack. Hopefully Lazlo will be in the game. Got my copy pre-ordered already. IM READY!!
Hope it lives up to the hype
The game will be way more dark. It's gonna be so cool to play this redefined GTA. It'll be so more realistic!!! The only thing I hope it that we'll still be able to have fun driving at maximum speed on the road, trying to get the less car accident, lol.
u can see in the 5th picture nik has a suit on which means that we hopefully can customise the characters clothes again
THERES A CHUCH IN ONE OF THE PICS . NOWS THIER CHANCE TO SUE ROCKSTAR AND HAVE ANOTHER GO AT SONY
oh yer cant wait to hear the soundtrack
Is this GTA also coming out for XBOX 360 i tut it was a PS3 exclusive?
im going to miss the old gta
until i read this, The realistic pedestions sound fun to play with and 3rd prson aim sound cool
i love GTA but i neva even completed any above 40 percent.
1. its not the fith link, and 2. thats not the main character
For what console do u guys think GTA4 will sell the most.
It's never been a PS3 exclusive. It is being released on both PS3 and 360 on the same day and the 360 will be getting two lots of exclusive content released for it in the future.
how can you miss the old gta? i dont get that...its out. that means you can play it anytime.
SHUT UP U FREAK!!
San andreas was one heck of a game. It gave you the feel that you were in the environment, unlike all the other GTA games.
Rockstar need to work to get as good game as san andreas.
And chewiee, it will sell more on 360 because there more popular at the moment
im sure black people will love this game because they love drugs and violence .....witpwr
does any one know if yankees stadium is going to be there?
goto hell
