Bonzo McGee Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I've not read or heard anything about this so I'm hoping someone might know... In past GTA's you have been able to buy and acquire new properties. Will we be able to buy new property in GTA4. Perhaps selling another place ready to move in to a new one, or having multiple homes at once. Any ideas and feedback? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I haven't heard anything, it would be good if you could rent out places, get tenants in, if they play up then you can kill them or something. I like the idea of being to upgrade a few things in the house aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RONIN1191 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 That'd be nice; but I keep hearing 'it is NOT a rags to riches story' so maybe real estate won't be purchaseable like we're used to doing in the past. Housing? Maybe...I'm thinking you might be taking over the established residences of certain people you kill. Sorta like in the Godfather (the game), after you wack Paulie on the Jersey Causeway, Clemenza gives you his pad. It becomes your first (I think?) save house.

Bonzo McGee Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 Maybe not a whole empire of property then but i think it would be good if you could move out of your run down apartment into another run down apartment on the other side of the city. Dukes to alderney for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrernie Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I think I read there is no buyable propertys or businesses. Remember people you are not going to live the high life like in other games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slamman Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 No, NO, already has been mentioned as stated above. YOU can only BUY safehouses, not businesses. Move along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember people you are not going to live the high life like in other games. As I stated above.I think it would be good to MOVE from one place to another. Not to buy lots of properties and pick and choose where you go to rest/muck about etc. A 1 room palace to a 1 room cr*phole. Just so long as its a not in the same place.

I have read (IGN preview) that the property/empire building has "been scaled right back" for this game. There is nothing solid yet though. I thought they took it a step too far in VCS. I really don't care about owning businesses that generate money without my direct involvement. I mean who actually remembers to go pick up rent from every property you own, every day ??

Slamman Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I'm not being rude when I point out the past GTAs in this regard will be unique in what they provide in terms of game experience. You have to have multiple SAFE houses, and garages in this type of game (GTA being the only TYPE, of course! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc420 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 i bet the safe houses will be preset. like gtaIII where there was 1 for each island and you didnt have a choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maka08 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 i bet the safe houses will be preset. like gtaIII where there was 1 for each island and you didnt have a choice. Ya but GTAIV is way bigger so buying safe houses would make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavros Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I hope they're taking steps forward, not backward when it comes to property and safe houses. Rockstar keeps saying how when they raise the bar, every aspect of the game is raised as well and nothing is left like it was in past generations. What does that actually mean for safe houses? I dont know. I just they surprise us in a good way. I know this isn't a rags to riches story but that doesn't mean you still cant be well off. Roman who is in no way rich has a taxi company. I just hope Niko will be better off than claude by the end of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
