GTA IV New Screenshot Analysis

[FatLouie]

 

Good Job bro.

I don't think they're going to fix the mirror and give it a real reflection.

I think they will, they've got 2 months. They said they're just polishing, they just have to write the script n attach it to all the mirror objects, it isn't a big deal.

Police lightbars/lights look ugly as hell. I don't know what the f R* doesn't improve those little good details.

the police lightbars look ugly as f*ck in real life, so it's perfectly fine to have them look the way they do.

 

and as for the mirrors, i don't really think they will but a full blown reflection in there, that'd probably be too much realism to handle for the game consoles. remember, it#s gta iv, not the matrix ^^

It's not a "bubble" (first of all, it's not even transparent), it's a statue type thing of a ball; you can see at each end there are blocks which look like they are holding it in place.

[BigBoyTraks]

Also the pic with NIko behind the Cop car and guy on porch there are words sprayed on the house can't make it out but the first three letters are

 

"KLI"

[Ak4tsevEn]

Is this from inside the bank? Niko s wearing suit and carrying duffel bag...hmmmm

 

[Gangster07]

f*ck the mirror reflections the lights on the car need to be fixed,they are shining on the ground

[JohnnyDrama]

That 'bubble' is dew, or rain on the windshield. If not that, then some odd reflection of light. It's the only logical explanation. If you'll recall, San Andreas had a similar feature.

No, it is not. Read what I said a few posts up.

Yeah, but still I hope they're at least 'real' for the first person view in the vehicles / taxi rides.

 

But like Gangster07 so wonderfully put it, it doesn't matter that much.

xhi4: your topic name says 14 new screenshots...ALL ANALYZED...you only have 12 as far as im concerned..

Maybe. At first, I, too, thought it was the sphere from the last trailer. Looking closer, though, it almost looks like you can see through it. I'm uncertain.

[roofy85]

good job man. i think you made some stretches on some of those though

[antihat]

yeah nice find i would never be able to spot them on my own.

[MorticianENG]

Nah you can't see through it, there's a black object (to the right of it) that would go behind it, but it's not visible. Also there is lighting around it.

It's more than likely this.

2. Duffel bags used to conciel weapons

Chances are that those bags are from the burning truck, and filled with money.

no I mean when a police car's lights are on. Look at Saints Rows police car. They have very nice lights.

 

 

 

Look at that

[nlitement]

The "bubble" and the "landing pads" are not bubbles and landing pads but the Unisphere and tennis courts (whatever they are), from Flushing Meadows park.

[DanRev]

Does the screenshot of Niko and the other guy looking in the boot/trunk of the car remind anyone else of the opening scene of goodfellas? What with the red light shining on to them and all that. Just noticed a similarity is all, seemed like a reference.

[JohnnyDrama]

In the one screenshot, the one with Niko being arrested, the interior of the car is done well. I can't see it well enough to be sure, but it almost looks as if the car is a four-speed manual shift. Notice the shifter grooves, or what I think are grooves, there appears to be four positions. I seriously doubt we'll have to shift gears, or even use a clutch, but it's certainly nice detail. It definitely adds to that muscle car look.

It's called the Unisphere.

[Jimmarn]

f*ck the mirror reflections the lights on the car need to be fixed,they are shining on the ground

lol, the light's aint supposed to light up the ground??

[Creed Bratton]

Cool finds. Except those bags are not for weapons. From the looks of the picture that was probably a bank robbery and bags are for money cause there is no reason for everyone to carry bags full of weapons

 

But anyway, nice amount of new stuff. Should keep us interested for some time

[RandomLoser]

very nice thread, didn't notice half of those things when I first looked at the screenshots

5. Looks like helicopter pads?

 

6. Niko and another man

Those are these things we got in flushing queens.. right next to shea stadium, if u seen the first men in black u would know what i mean lol .. its from The worlds fair

 

 

"The World's Fair was held in Flushing Meadows Park twice: in 1939-40 and again in 1964-65. Two towers from the 1964-65 World's Fair -- also featured in Men in Black -- still dominate the area's skyline , though they are in a sorry state. Other facilities from the fairs include the NYC Building (housing the museum and an ice rink), the Unisphere, and numerous statues and monuments."

 

just thought ya would like to know....

5th screenshot, not landing pads....it's the space ship restaurant in New York

[FiendJager666]

Just realized someone else pointed it out....hey, those cop cars are different then the other one's we've seen.

[ZaZ9291]

I would also like to point out that in the picture with Niko crashing the black car, it looks as if the rear tire on the car is missing and he is just driving on the rim itself causing the sparks.

[jorgerdz]

its a flat tire

maybe lol

[cps82]

Don't write off chainsaws and flamethrowers just yet! It was only one article

that said it and that was a day or two before the previews, not one of the big

previews confirmed or denied this.
