I saw, read and heard so much awesome stuff, yet I don't want to buy or play it.

HALP GAF!

You need to see your doctor. There's something severely wrong with you.

Cartman gave you AIDS.

 

[Future PhaZe]

Props on the thread. Came earlier than expected.

Any possibility of a gamertag/psn i.d gathering for some Crops n Crooks games after release? GTA IV is definitely the sort of game that a lot of people like to take their sweet time with in finishing, and it'd be nice to have a community here where gaffers can get together and have some great multiplayer sessions without any douches or spoiling bastards.

There will definitely be tags dropped here (in this thread) as well as in the online/matchup forum.

 

[Rapping Granny]

how many hours do they got in all radio stations.

 

[Hootie]

How you think this thread'll get

Epic.

 

[Tr4nce]

I was originally going to make the banner Niko reaching out, with Roman in background, and the Scarface globe in his hands. But I didn't do it. I felt that thread title would have fit the banner a lot so I went with it. I didn't change it though.

Any suggestions for the OP, anyone? (Trance? )

Nah, no more suggestions dude. Everything I had 'coded' is also in the OP. You did a splendid job

Spoiler

except for the thread subtitle

 

[Felix Lighter]

how many hours do they got in all radio stations.

That's a good question. It would be nice to get a station by station break down but that will certainly not happen.

 

[GameGamer]

- Many interiors are fully decorated and have been given a much bigger emphasis and importance on game

That's really not the same at all.

So did GTA4 finally get me freedom to roam inside the buildings?

That answer is no then?

Some buildings just not all of them.

Did anyone see the kotaku article where some dude in australia called take two support and was told that the only thing that rockstar cut was a cutscene involving

Spoiler

niko jamming a weapon into a person private place because a friend of his was sexually assaulted in prison

apparently that was the only thing they cut. I dunno how reliable kotaku is these days tough.

 

[Teknoman]

So close. But I'm not sure whether I should jump into single or multiplayer first.

Single. Get used to the new system before you run into MP of course. Besides you've gotta take time to make a good custom character in MP before even diving in right? So you might as well play SP for awhile the first day, then MP the later half.

Little Jacob is the guy who sells you weapons. Your relationship is maintained through phone contact and loyalty. If you boost up his relationship he will give you more powerful weapons.

" Jacob my man, how ya been?"
:lol

Answer the question yourself. =/ If there are fully decorated interiors, surely this means you can enter them.

I guess I forgot the part in my OP where, while in pursuit, you can run into someone's house, out the back, and up their fire escape.

Wow seriously? Now thats nice.

Also included was a list of EVERY radio station in the game:
We Know The Truth (Talk)
Radio Broker (Alternative Rock, eg LCD Soundsystem)
San Juan Sounds (Latin)
Integrity 2.0 (Talk featuring Lazlow)
Tuff Going Radio (Reggae, eg Bob Marley)
Liberty City Hardcore (Punk/Hardcore)
Electro Choc (Dance)
Liberty City Rock Radio 97.8 (Classic Rock, eg R.E.M.)
Massive B Soundsystem 96.9 (Dance hall)
International Funk IF99 (Funk, eg War)
Public Liberty Radio (Phone in speech)
The Classics 104.1 (Old school Hip hop)
The Beat 102.7 (Contemporary Hip-Hop)
Jazz Nation Radio 108.5 (Jazz, eg Miles Davis)
K108 The Studio (Disco)
Fusion FM (Soul, eg Roy Ayers)
Vladivostok FM (Eastern European)
The Journey (Ambient/Chillout, eg Jean Michelle Jarre)

Its officially confirmed that you're insane if you use custom soundtracks with this one.

 

[Ninja Kn1ght]

Less than two weeks left. This will be awesome.

Sweet. I wonder if the someone will call the police if i randomly walked into someone's house.

Let's get innocuous!

 

[neojubei]

If Rockstar ships the game early probably 2-3 days before monday, I wonder which retailers will be dumb enough to sell it before the release date.

 

[HK-47]

So, Hot Coffee this time? Would they dare?

 

[rhino4evr]

So, Hot Coffee this time? Would they dare?

only if they were incredibly stupid. That little incident cost Take 2 millions.

 

[neojubei]

So, Hot Coffee this time? Would they dare?

I seriously doubt it since the last lawsuit cost them millions. I bet the lawyers that filed the lawsuit will be watching this game closely to see if they can cash in.

Physics Engine: Euphoria
Graphics Engine: RAGE

Wrong.

Euphoria is NOT a physics engine, in fact it's an animation engine if you will. I don't know which physics engine they are using, but it seems like they are not using Havoc.

And RAGE is not just a graphics engine, it's a game engine.

 

[ElyrionX]

The question is:

Why the hell isn't there a metal radio station?

 

[Psychotext]

Why the hell isn't there a metal radio station?

Metal is dead. GTA confirms it! :lol

 

[neojubei]

Does anyone know if this game will have cheat codes like the other GTA games?

 

[alr1ght]

Have these widgets been posted? It has a preview of 6 of the radio stations. WKTT is hilarious.
http://www.rockstargames.com/IV/#?page=downloads&content=widget

 

[Wizman23]

Euphoria is an animation engine so to speak that makes up animations on the fly in regards to the circumstances.

http://www.naturalmotion.com/euphoria.htm

 

[BeeDog]

So has it been stated from what country the main character is from? They keep saying he's from Eastern Europe, so I'm leaning towards Serbia, since the name sounds very Serbian. Also, in the OPM review they spoil a mission where

Spoiler

Albanians crash a funeral

, so that further confirms my guess.

Anyone?

:'(

 

[Agent Ironside]

Euphoria animations are physics based though. Depending on trajectory, speed, etc. But yeah, euphoria isnt going to control the way a car blows up or box rolls down stairs.

 

[Tr4nce]

Does anyone know if this game will have cheat codes like the other GTA games?

I've read every single preview out there, and IIRC cheats are in, yes.

 

[notjackbauer]

I hope there's a cheat to speed up the day-night cycle and push the awesome lighting engine into overdrive.

 

[Servbot #42]

Anyone?

:'(

According to the OXM review his country of origin is never mentioned.

 

[Y2Kev]

Hey cool, can't wait to get this after exams and stuff on the 5th. Maybe the third if I indulge myself.

 

[ascully]

I am locking myself in my gaming room for the week of the 29th, I told my wife to just basically ignore me all week as I will be super busy.

 

[Goreomedy]

I wanna read the OPM review but it's FULL of story spoilers and tidbits all over the place.

Yeah, it's a bit much. I didn't expect to find out who Niko was looking for in a review. I'm hoping that bit of info is an early reveal.

 

[BakedPigeon]

Nice to see the official thread up and running. Now we play the waiting game for some fresh gameplay videos, and small tidbits we have not already found out.

 

[skip]

it kind of is.

 

[Gary Whitta]

I really can't remember the last time I anticipated a game as much as this, if ever.

 

[Wollan]

RockStar Social Club is opening tomorrow right. Looking forward to explore that.

Thanks, a bit relieved if that's the case.

Server overload crashes confirmed?

 

[Felix Lighter]

I started up a game of GTA III again a few weeks ago. Driving around Liberty City listening to Chatterbox brings back so many memories. I was expecting the visuals to be complete ass but using the Xbox 360 BC, it actually upscales very nicely, it still stutters occasionally though. Ha, my mind is so focused on GTA now. This wait is going to be rough.

It's a good thing the game auto-saves after missions.

Being in a near total media/info blackout, that's a great piece of info. has this been known previously?

 

[Goreomedy]

Yeah, with the first previews. Still something to celebrate.

...Motorbikes are still nimble, and now they can do backflips....

I just pissed my pants. The motorcycles are my favorite vehicle in the GTA games, and they sound even better now. Gah! These next few weeks will be some of the longest I've ever experienced.
