killa_killac Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I was just looking at the topic called, "Game Length", and I was just wondering if anyone knows if Rockstar has confirmed anything about the game length of GTA 4. Im not looking for exact numbers, but did anyone say its going to be shorter or longer then SA, or anything like that. Please let me know.

A.Bod Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 (edited) nope but they said it can end in different ways, so its definately a branched game, which of course SA wasn't so probably longer Just think of a what a family tree looks like Edited January 28, 2008 by A.Bod Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/309317-rockstar-confirming-length/#findComment-1057448311 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mafioso86 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 well they did say something once... when asked if it was comparable to any movies (as VC with Scarface or SA with Boys in the Hood) they said something along the lines of that it is not made to be an homage to any specific movie. They went on to say they thought it shouldn't be viewed as a movie... but as like a TV series or saga that goes through many different subplots and stories... making me think it will be quite longish.

Dabigman Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I'm sure I read somewhere that it'll be over 100hours of Gameplay Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/309317-rockstar-confirming-length/#findComment-1057448334 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCLASS Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I hold great, great hopes for episodic content, if such content comes out on PS3...Id gladly pay £10/$20 for a solid 15 hour mission pack - though only with new cars, areas included.

JerryBaby Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I remember reading somewhere, quite some time ago, that it would be bigger than SA, although not in scale (i.e. a smaller map). Whether this is still the case, I don't know, but I think the story will be longer than SA.

ryan207 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 It better not be like the crappy assassians creed, that i spent 60 bucks on that i only played once, where it was only a 15 hour game.

Do you remember where you read that? Is it in the Facts thread on this forum, if it is I must have missed it. Thats a long ass thread.

killa_killac Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 It seems every game that comes out for 360 has better graphics but much less stuff and much less apeal. For example: Madden came out on 360 and it didnt even have a franchise mode or anything like that, it was basically a huge step down from the PS2 and Xbox versions. I hope this is not the case with GTA 4. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/309317-rockstar-confirming-length/#findComment-1057448864 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ishouldntbehere Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 i think they said 'potentially' hundreds of hours of gameplay because of branching storylines (i.e. multiple playthroughs), DLC, multiplayer, plus getting the elusive 100%. that's a lot to do. side note: you think they will have stuff in the 100% list that will be able to be obtained only through multiplayer? EDIT: oops. i guess multiple endings was not confirmed? well, they said there is 9 - 12 different ways to accomplish each mission, so let's pretend I said that instead.

Niall_S Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Yeah, i read somewhere that it took testers something like 2 weeks at 4 hours a day? Not exact numbers but it's some kind of estimate for you.

Unisom Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 It says on GTA4.net's front page -- a Rockstar rep said their testers play 4 hours a day and it takes them two weeks to finish the single-player game. Now I dont know if this two weeks includes weekends or not. If it is just M-F, that is 4 hours x 10 days = 40+ hours at least I think that is if you are just playing it straight. With us exploring and messing around and doing side missions, it should be similar to past GTA games. 60+ hours probably. And now we have Multiplayer to add to those hours, so I think there is plenty to play with.

Niall_S Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 If i'm honest, from everything i've read, no one will be dissapointed with length. Most games aim for a 6 - 7 hour story line. There is so much to do in GTA from the storymode, side missions, Multiplayer and mini games, also there is Relationships to be upheld. That would surley keep you occupied for a great deal of time.

MistaD Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 There's gonna be so much to do I'm gonna have a hard time finding time to play. I'm not at all worried about how long the game will last.

krashdown Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I'm not overly concerned with the length of the game, it has been in development for 3 and a half years so all the story ideas that they came up with in that time should be great, and then once you finish the game you can do it again to listen to the different dialogue, try and do the missions differently see if anything changes and i will probably be on multiplayer a lot more anyway Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/309317-rockstar-confirming-length/#findComment-1057680341 Share on other sites More sharing options...
