ichizuzu Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 So i was reading the 2nd Kikizo preview, and it said that " weapons are a precious commodity in GTA IV, and aren't easy to acquire." And considering that rockstar is putting alot of effort into making the hand to hand fighting "more natural" and considering that they're basing the city on nyc which has strict gun laws, I was wondering, do you think that knives, bats and the like will play a big role in the game? I mean personally I wouldn't find that so bad. The fighting looks pretty cool from the trailers, and I think it would fit the personality of a rugged ruskie criminal to carve someone up with oh say a boxcutter or kitchen knife other than just capping him. But don't get me wrong I would hate not to be able to use guns, I'm just speculating.(or maybe I've watched eastern promises too much ) Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/307710-knife-n-bat-play/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

If u look at the trailers closly theres a stanley knife in the 2nd one. personaly I think that melee attacks are gonna play a BIG role this time round.

ichizuzu Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 i hope so, at least in the beginning of the game. It would seem like a waste with all hand to hand upgrading they're doing to not put at least some emphasis on melee attacks.

A.Bod Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 i wouldnt mind hand to hand at all in the beginning. hopefully its worth it waiting to use the weapons- hopefully there is more of an open variety of weapons like poisonous gas bombs or something similar ( just an example), which would be new.

Gooners-jay-and-scott Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I hope GTA makes melee weapons play a big roll in the game. I want to see very few people carrying guns around. So when you do see someone carrying a gun you know its best not to mess with them, unless you have to lol. Another point i hope/think that it will be harder to kill other peds, say like by fist you will have to punch them about 20 times to kill them or if using a baseball bat 5 good blows.

A mace would be amazing, imagine smashing someone in the face with a mace and the mace just sticks in their face and when you pul it out you leave holes in their face, also a lot of blood . I hear ya, I wanna be able to beat someone to the ground and have them lying there full of blood and moaning in pain.....god i need a therapist. Lol, that's what i want and then just leave them their to die after you hit them about 19 times (If 20 hits per kill lol). It would also be cool if you battered a guy proper and his wife or something is smacking you trying to stop you lol Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/307710-knife-n-bat-play/#findComment-1057417387 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmjr3 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I'm hoping for alot of melee weapons. I am hoping it is more of a versitle feature as well. For instance for break a crate in an alley and pick up a piece of broken wood and beat the crap out of someone or if youre in a bar break a bottle be able to stab someone.

Zombified Jake Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I read that bats and and could dent cars in different ways? Ah, using melee weapons more will be cool, and now that guns "shocked" the people viewing the preview and it was like "thunder"...heh, things will be different. Both melee and guns will be awesome.
