GTA_RAGE Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 1. GTA 4 will have loads of mini-games, and online leaderboards. Rockstar isn't saying much about GTA 4's mini-games, but what I can reveal is that there will be lots of them and you'll be able to compare your scores via online leaderboards 2. TWAT stands for Totally Wireless @, and the game's web browser looks like Rockstar's GTA 4 website You'll be able to browse news websites (on Rockstar's version of the internet) and check the coverage of your own handiwork. You'll be able to access email - you'll need to send a CV via email for an interview with a lawyer. TWAT's Internet browser will end up looking a lot like Rockstar's GTA 4 website, I'm told, and will be more for completists. But you will be able to affect gameplay through it. 3. The only customisation available to Niko will be his clothes. But if you're short on cash there are cheap Russian shops that make Primark look like Gucci, although expect ridicule 4. GTA 4 won't have real world products So don't expect Niko to use a Nokia phone, listen to Classic FM or nick a Porsche. What I have discovered is that there will be different brands of phone, one of which is called Whizz - you'll see billboards advertising the phones all over Liberty City. You'll be able to upgrade them too. Better phones will give you more options, allowing you to take photos and change your ring tone. Certain missions, I'm told, will require you to take a picture, nick a cop car, access the police database and search for a name and address via the picture. All the radio stations are made up, in order to keep the GTA satire thing going. And while all the vehicles are fake, they are inspired by real world counterparts. The Banshee, GTA 4's fastest, coolest car, looks a lot like the TVR Tuscan. 5. There may be tiny differences between the Xbox 360 and PS3 version but Rockstar is aiming to make both versions very similar - no PS3 Sixaxis support When I asked if there will be any differences Rockstar said that apart from the episodic content the team is aiming to make both versions very similar. But it did admit that there may be tiny differences. No Sixaxis support either, which may be a blessing in disguise for PS3 owners. 6. there will be a GTA 4 demo Also much of GTA 4 is the driving around and we wouldn't be able to give out the whole city. We would have to give away half the game for free. People would think Liberty City is a tiny city. You run into problems." So there it is. No GTA 4 demo. Get over it 7. 60 FPS is not confirmed Shocked? You shouldn't be. GTA 4 is an open world, go anywhere do anything game and because of that keeping a consistent Devil May Cry 4-style 60FPS is nigh on impossible. I'm told Rockstar North is aiming to make the game as smooth as possible, which is good enough for me. From what I've played of the game I suspect the final release will fluctuate around 30FPS, depending on what's going on. In the build I played the cutscenes have a degree of pop-up, too, but expect a more polished final product. I'm not sure about the character models though. As I've said before GTA 4 looks amazing when viewed as a whole, but less impressive on closer inspection of its parts 8. Rockstar has got rid of all the fantasy vehicles from previous GTA games. Everyone will have their own view on the rights and wrongs of this move, but at least it's consistent with Rockstar's move towards a more realistic GTA. So out go the aeroplanes, tanks, jetpacks and bicycles. Still in are motorbikes (they control exactly the same as cars except you can do a wheelie by pulling back on the left stick, meaning you can fire weapons while driving them), speed boats, helicopters and, as you'd expect, plenty of cars. There won't be any base-jumping with parachutes either, which we think is a crying shame 9. GTA 4 will take roughly 100 hours to finish 10. There will be no sex mini-game, hidden or otherwise, in GTA 4 Pull your pants up, you read right. I've been assured by Rockstar that GTA 4 won't have any "Hot Coffee" style hidden sex mini-games buried deep within its code. Sure, you can take women back to your place, or even their place if you're feeling frisky, but the game won't show anything. Instead, it'll cut straight to the morning after. Disappointed? For shame. Use the Internet instead. I will tell you this: if a woman calls you up asking for some Niko love and you accept, (turning women down causes Niko to make an awkward excuse about being busy) the main map displays a number of dating hotspots, from which you need to decide where to take the target of your affection. Thing is, you need to find the right venue for the right woman - they all have their own tastes, and won't take too kindly to certain bars or clubs. Get it right though, and, we'll, you can start thinking about taking things to another level.

xxtremeguyxx2001 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 no sixaxis support? that sucks, I was hoping that the sixaxis would be used in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyJim Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Theres no car customization, flying planes, diving underwater, driving trains, animals, or "Fantasy vehicles", but dating is in the game.....no comment.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhaga2 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 (edited) Ffs, whats with all this realism bollocks? They should leave something unusual in. Also, when have bicycles become vehicles of fantasy? I didn't see Frodo cycling around Middle Earth on a fecking racer. I knew they weren't in but still, fantasy vehicle ffs.

joker249 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Wouldn't it be awesome to fly your private jet over the city, parachute down to your girlfriend's house, drive your customized train to the zoo for a nice date, then pull your scuba gear out of your duffle bag and dive to the bottom of the harbor, looking for sunken Russian/Irish/Dirka-Dirka Stan Mafia shipwrecks, only to be attacked by a shark, forcing you to swim back to your purple and green H4 with 42 inch spinners, grab your jetpack out of trunk, and bug out to either SA or LC? I need a beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CookPassBabtridge Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 'I didn't see Frodo cycling around Middle Earth on a fecking racer.' That is classic But yeah, not even a friggin bike for a bit of easy transport. Im guessing they couldnt sort out the physics for it? Not the end of the world, but they worked fine in SA. But thank god we can still drive imaginary girlfriends to BurgerShot just to watch a cutscene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knife Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Customization: The Sims Diving underwater: Tomb Raider Driving trains: Train Simulator Animals: Zoo Tycoon Cars, Guns, a huge city: GTA I'm not saying that those features (apart from animals) shouldn't be in the game, but they are no real loss. If you feel they are, then I don't think GTA's the game for you. I would say airplanes and parachutes are a disappointing removal, but I remember Vice City being awesome without them. The amount of additions are far greater than the removals, but for some reason it's always the negative things that people notice. Thats why when you turn on your TV, all the news is negative.

Actually, the Molly Maid worker at R* North who cleans the bathrooms on the third floor has not offically told me that bike's were out, so I didn't include that. She also didn't mention the exclusion of customizable female Croation elephants wearing police uniforms with usable trunks and sixaxis ears disguised as Pay N Sprays. There is still hope...

CookPassBabtridge Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Im probably burned by the hype, but I cant think of any additions that cover the stuff being taken out. Also I really dont subscribe to the theory of 'if you like doing this, go buy that game'. GTA is huge because of the mix of activities, it would be a shame if it didnt move forward without having to lose that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, as it's part of this important relationship building now in GTA, it may work. Im sorry no... Dating is a deffinate fail , the only thing they leave from SA is dating wtf.... "This is GTA not Sims" as you guys would say. Don't try to hype it all up because its in the game, you know dam well if it wasent in GTA and people were crying for it to be in you and everyone else would be bashing it. Saying stuff like this is "GTA not Sims" or if you want to date go play "Date Simulator".... Like Technomm said "I wish people would stop inculcating the game is going to be the best. " TO joker: I was being sarcastic, and it wouldn't prevent the add reply it would just make each post one giant blog with no periods.

wildhalcyon Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 No confirmation on the Urine meter yet? How am I supposed to know when Niko needs to go to the bathroom? Maybe they had trouble integrating the "breaking the seal" physics with the drunk simulator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GamerShotgun Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I'm a bit disappointed.. No car customization, no parachuting, no planes [yeah, i don't need them really, but it was an improvement], no bicycles, less detailed character customization.. Hell yeah, that is why i loved San Andreas, and now they say it's unrealistic and they do not include it in the game.. GTFO.. I mean, god...rockstar could leave car customization in.....It's just a game, not the real world! But i'm still waiting for the release..even if i'm disappointed...

joker249 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 (edited) Jim, gotcha. No worries. I was taking a not-so- subtle jab at the grammar challenged people and those complaining about the lack of customizable shoe laces, etc. As for the grammar challenged folks out there, if english is not your first language, no worries. You guys get a pass. It is my wife's third language, so I've learned not to make fun of people for that aspect. She has a mean right cross. Everyone have a good weekend.

sattizahn Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 These "TOP 10 Secrets" mean nothing to me....

NinjaJones Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 You wrote "there will be a demo"...you forgot the NOT part. Anyway, how is a bicycle a "fantasy vehicle"?
