There is no moon because everyone kept shooting it in previous GTAs just to change its size, shame on you people, way to ruin it for the rest of us. mad.gif

Well a screen shot would be appreciated from those saying there is a moon. I have been playing GTA 4 all day at night and I am 99.9% sure there is no moon. I have been on skyscrapers, on the ground and in helicopters and I couldn't see the moon anywhere. So for those that say there is a moon in the PC version SHOW us so we can see what it looks like wink.gif

Heres the screen with niko standing in the moonlight. Moon is actually brighter but as someone stated above, it just dissapears so its dissapearing now this is why its barely visible  smile.gif  And sorry for the quality, if i want to record something i have to play with my tv tuner which i bought for my pc about 4 years ago ant it only plays 50hz 640*480  confused.gif  i wish i could record that stuff in hd  tounge.gif

Niko in front of the moon wink.gif

 

---------------------------------------------------------------

 

I`m playing on xbox360 version and there is a moon. I recorded a video 24hrs in star junction.

You can clearly see the moon from about 0:23 to 0:28 and from 1:25 to the end

24hrd in star junction

 

I already showed the screenshot and the video wink.gif Both posts are mine

It isn't entirely clear on whether that is the PC version ? I got the impression that was the console version being run through a TV tuner. Just to clarify I want to see a screenshot from the PC version NOT the console version.

Well that is what we are trying to find out now, obviously the console version does have the moon but for some reason the PC version doesn't. So if there is someone out there playing the PC version and they see the moon please screen shot it and post in here so we can see.

That is the reason of the lack of dogs in the game...THEY CAN´T HOWL TO THE MOON BECAUSE...(gasp gasp) THE MOON ISN´T THERE!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAARRGHHG!!

 

(DAMN!!...don´t worry I´m improving my act)

 

 

(How can R* forget an important satellite like the moon, what a shame...is so f*cking unreal, makes me sick...well, maybe I´m exaggerating)

Well it is fairly easy thing to do, I mean I have been playing the game solidly for 4 months several hours a day and until last night it didn't even enter my head there was no moon mercie_blink.gif . At the end of the day it is a "minor" detail game play wise but the sky does look a wee bit empty now we know that someone has nicked the moon. Hopefully like the ticker tapes and clock tower it will be rectified in the next patch. However I am not going to let a little matter like the moon going AWOL ruin my enjoyment of the game.

I can't find it.

 

Played through 4 nights so far. Did the whole from this view to that view (heli, skyscraper, bridges) no moon. I didn't notice it either until this thread. I didn't notice the scrolling marquees either. Doesn't mean it doesn't suck 'cause it does. Just can't believe all the things that we're left out from console to pc, yet rectified in patches...Guess that's why we paid $10 less at launch?

 

Forgetta bout it. Still love this game no matter how much they f*cked it with sh*t like this.

And what about the STARS?...are there stars in that moonless night sky of liberty city? I haven´t find them...(I´m the guy who said there was no sun, take that in mind)

 

(If someone tell me that there are stars, I´m gonna be very worried about the way my mind recognizes reality)

 

 

 

(sorry again for my english...or maybe is good, maybe you can undestand some of what I´m writting here...who knows...my mind is getting a little bit tricky...)

Yes there are stars in the game, those can be seen. It is a shame Rockstar dropped the R* constellation though that was a cool little easter egg of the previous GTA's and I was sad to see it isn't there in GTA 4 but times they do a move on.

 

Oh and before you ask no the other 8 planets aren't there either nor would any one expect them to be tounge.gif

The moon is there, but it depends on the weather. Go back a page and watch the Youtube video. You can very plainly see that the moon dissappears and reappears with the weather.

 

As for the sun, yes, it's there.

 

I'm off to get you guys some screenshots.

That video is from console's version. We're looking for moon from PC, dude.

 

I wonder how many things still remain to fix in that bloody game... Dont get me wrong, I love the game and enjoy it, but still something's wrong with that Toronto team, in the first place was ticker tapes and the clock tower, then missing objects in the 2nd patch, now there's no moon and that car drivers who spawn only in the near distance.. So what's next?

Booooooooooooo you Pluto hater I am from ye olde school before some clever know it all decided Pluto wasn't a "planet". It's heresy I tell ya. I dunno next you will be telling me the universe doesn't orbit the earth panic.gif

 

I think we should all be a lil bit embarrassed here, I have been paying so much attention to GTA 4, I pride myself on spotting all the little details and marvelling at the little touches. Yet here once again I didn't see something as blindingly obvious as the moon missing mercie_blink.gif . I knew I should have gone to specsavers.

How could you miss it, you say? How could R* miss it? As someone said it's not a big gameplay factor but it should be a part of their "checklist". "Peds; check, cars; check" There are many things that are missing that shouldn't be hard to shove in the patch, so they probably will add the things that are "exclusively" in the console version.

And yes I'm embarrassed too. moto_whistle.gif

Wait, maybe the moon is on a timer. Meaning it only shows up every 15th night for that 30 second window???

 

Kinda like the BF injection in gtaiii only showed up at midnight in the park.

omg! if there's no moon it means there's no outer space!

if there's no outer space it means that humanity in GTA:iv universe never crafted a spaceship!

 

that ruined the whole storyline for me now.

 

*deleting gta:iv*

Don't try to impress Charlie anymore, you killed it! mad.gif

 

Anyways, I did realize that the "moons" began to slowly decrease in size, from GTA III to San Andreas and now its completely gone cry.gif

it's all part of rockstar's evil plan to destroy the moon.

I didn't noticed either. Well i do have an excuse : i don't really like to play in the night always going to my safehouse and advance time so there can be day.

 

Kinda strange actually...SA had such a big moon that i always thought it will crash-land in front of me.

I think R* removed the big moon because they wanted the game to be real and a moon that big can only be real if you're standing next to it.

Hell that joke was funnier than anything Kat Williams came up with or Ricky Gervais for that matter.

That's just wrong....

 

Kat Williams - I agree...

 

but Ricky Gervais is one of the funniest men alive. And the bit about the range wars and midgets... BRILLIANT!!!

Yes, no doubt, flight a heli at night, record a clip and check its top part using the video editor, quite noticeable.

If there was a moon they would have to make the tides go up and down.

 

No Moon = No Tide Change = Less Work.

 

Lol. Seriously, I want my moon. But its just another obscurity of GTA. Like why are there schools yet no children?

 

Ah, they sent the children to the moon then blew up the moon. lol.gif

 

That blue glow is the ghost of the moon, or perhaps casper the friendly ghost.

(this one is premium quality)

(f*ck...everyday worst...)

 

I have nothing else to say about the Lost Moon, I hope the chosen one put the magnificent satellite on the sky over dangerous Liberty and the clouds that pass by hide momentaneusly that hypnotic magic and werewolves be completely happy again...See ya in other posts...I love the f*cking GTAforums!!! (in a gently way...eehh...see ya)
