JMann Veteran Posted April 29, 2008 Veteran Share Posted April 29, 2008 If anyone gets chance from all the action of GTA IV can anyone take a picture or write down the default Display settings for Brightness/Contrast/Humidity, I cannot see a reset or default button. :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/623986-official-grand-theft-auto-iv/page/40/#findComment-589364080 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangbang023 Veteran Posted April 29, 2008 Veteran Share Posted April 29, 2008 Hmm just called my semi local Best Buy. Asked the girl on the phone if they had the new GTA in stock she said yes....We have ALOT. I am really surprised. No need to be surprised. The BB I work at received 800+ copies for PS3 and 900+ copies for 360. I just had my first freeze. After the first cut scene for the second job for Vlad, I left the bar and it got stuck on the loading screen. Bah.

Slane Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Loving it, played alot of multiplayer learning the different types. Cops and Crooks is badass, as well as Hangman's NOOSE, and Bomb Da Base II (real fun). Fun game all around. Trying to do the 'Walk Free' achievement, but heli keeps spotting me at the last second.

IceBreakerG Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I picked up my copy for the 360 last night/this morning at midnight at Walmart. There were maybe 8-10 other people infront of me and maybe another 6-8 behind me in line. Someone I was talking to in line said when he drove by GameStop there was probably at least 60 people outside in line. I haven't really gotten to play it yet though. I played for about 20-30mins this morning before I left for work, but that wasn't nearly enough time to get a feel for it. My initial impression is that the controls are really strange, and the cars feel weird too. But I'll check it out later. So far the story seems really interesting, and Niko's cousin has some serious issues (seems like a habitual liar lol). I can't wait til I get off work in 2hrs though so I can go home and play it. I also noticed it felt a little sluggish just moving around and driving and stuff too. Not sure if it's by design, my 360 or if it was actually lagging. Something I need to check into when I get home.

CY:G Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 my ps3 and gta iv are arriving tomorrow :) can anyone tell me if the game suffers from people & vehicles disappearing when they go off camera for a while like its predessesors? that sh*t really used to irk me somewhat.. thx. It still happens but not as bas as previous games. Lets say you see a nice car that goes by you at a different direction and you try to turn around and chase it to snag it, most times you will never find it as it disappears...

Remysaus Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 after waiting for 2 hours in line this morning (shipment was late at the store) i played for 7,5 hours almost straight and all i can say is; wow, it was worth the wait. so far it's looking to be my favourite game ever.

tuckeratlarge Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 There were no supply issues here in Scunthorpe. Those daft enough to queue at 12 outside Game needn't have bothered. Only Tesco had sold out. I got mine at one in the afternoon and a couple of friends got theirs later on in the evening (360 for me - PS3 for them) I am struggling with the car handling because I have been playing Burnout Paradise for the last few months, I keep hitting the X button for the handbrake and then the A for boost - oh dear no boost. I have also found the cars to have brakes that lock up too easily, making you plough straight on, gonna have to practice cornering. Brake a bit earlier I think.

Ricardo Gil Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Waiting in lines is so last year :D... Got of work today, went to the store and found 8 limited editions being put on the shelf. 5 PS3 and 3 360. Oh, I saw the Wii Fit and just couldn't resist :) still have to open it.

gregb0b Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Does anyone know how to play with friends online? It says co-op-2-4 on the back. I hit up on the D pad go to multi player select party mode and it just loads me as some girl and my 3 friends cant do anything. Even tried to sign on in on xbox live from my xbox as well as me being online. Is it like CoD where you can only have 1 person online per xbox? Edit: we are all at my house trying to play - hope this clarifies it up a bit Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/623986-official-grand-theft-auto-iv/page/40/#findComment-589364335 Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no split screen, there is no system link.

Emorex Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 CoD4 has a split screen option though. You cannot go on Xbox Live with that though. With GTA 4 you have no split screen at all. 1 console per player. Any game type.

I had the exact same thing happen to me, other than that no other problems at all. Played it for a while today and it's a fantastic game.. love all the little touches in it, like the way that Niko comes crashing through the windscreen when you smash into something travelling at speed :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/623986-official-grand-theft-auto-iv/page/40/#findComment-589364468 Share on other sites More sharing options...
