Trunks to provide new feature to cars in GTA IV

Posted by Adriaan at 10:51.

Another preview to have offered gamers a good introduction into GTA IV was the Official Xbox Magazine in the United States. As you'd expect, no new information, except for one thing that accidentally slipped through to the magazine while getting a demo of the game.

When they approached the parked car in Broker from behind, the Admiral that so many publications got to see getting broken into, an information prompt came up on the top left side of the screen, indicating to press the left bumper or "LB" button of the Xbox 360 controller in order to open the trunk. This button is the equivalent of the PlayStation controller's "L1" button.

How far this will stretch into game play can only be speculated, but it can and probably will open new opportunities when playing GTA IV, both during missions and non-missions. Perhaps even throw dead (or not so dead) bodies in? Rockstar Games didn't want to discuss anything about this feature.

The last of the first round of magazine previews are coming to an end, and the next issues to come out next month will probably provide new information on the game.... we hope.

Car Trunks & euphoria Confirmed for GTA IV

12:17 PST | Jordan |

An official Rockstar Games representative has finally confirmed that NaturalMotion euphoria has been integrated into Grand Theft Auto IV. This will add unique game moments into the game with the way that different characters and objects interact and move around Liberty City. For more on euphoria, I suggest you do some reading. This information comes from FiShMaStEr who read it at a newsstand in an Xbox 360 magazine in Australia.

Also, you will have the ability to interact with your car trunks in the game. Whether or not it is something that will only be available for certain cars or for certain missions remains to be seen. Thanks to DC88 for finding this news in Official Xbox Magazine USA.

I don't understand why it's a console exclusive for a year. Profits are the only reason...

Well I am guessing they want to finish making the game for consoles before they start working on it for another platform. Porting to PC is quite hard and time consuming I believe.

Screeshot?

The screens in the above posts are the only ones released.

GTA IV still on track for October, both epic episodes in 2008

Posted by Adriaan at 22:16.

The suggestion by an analyst at Wedbush Morgan that Take Two's new management team might delay Grand Theft Auto IV, due to its close release to another big video game, as well as a strategy to impress investors by pushing it into a following fiscal year, created quite the buss recently. However, when parent company of Rockstar Games, Take Two Interactive, posted their financial results for their second quarter of the 2007 fiscal year today, they made it perfectly clear that the game will retain its release date of October 2007. This was also mentioned during a conference call where the executives reaffirmed investors and fans of the series that they're going to meet their initial release date.

During the Q&A session of this conference call, several questions were asked regarding GTA IV, including whether we'll see a PS2 release of the game in the future. T2 replied by saying that this is unlikely, due to the fact that they're developing a next generation game and that once you see it you'll understand why it won't make its way to older platforms. So there you have it, officially! Something else that was revealed during the session, as well as partially in the press release, was that the two promised episodic episodes - both offering hours of new game play - will both be releasing during 2008. Interestingly, in the press release, this is listed specifically for the Xbox 360 version of the game. No word on extra downloads for the PS3 version as of yet, but rest assured it has yet to be ruled out.

During a question on this, it was revealed that while both versions of the game will be very close, they won't be identical experiences. We're not going to jump to any conclusions just yet, Dan Houser, Vice President at Rockstar Games, did say in a magazine preview that it is their goal to have no differences, and that there are no platform preferences. Maybe it will just be differing on things such as frame rate, graphics and controlling; the PlayStation 3's SIXAXIS controller has a motion sensor, offering unique experiences, while the Xbox 360's controller offers better control on vehicle acceleration with its right trigger, for instance. We just can't say yet, but we'll keep you updated on this! More GTA IV news to follow soon, we hear...

Uhh, the PS3 controller has the same kind of triggers :s

Anyways, great news

"differing on things such as frame rate, graphics"

:s Can't wait to hear who has the advantage.

That is what the 'article writer' wrote - not what Rockstar/Take2 said.
