+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted April 23, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted April 23, 2008 They can't, the official embargo ends on the 27th, so they aren't allowed to show anything before that.And i doubt a big site like GT wouldn't honor an embargo. Fair enough, seems it's up to us peons to brake that embargo :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/623986-official-grand-theft-auto-iv/page/18/#findComment-589351161 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BeLGaRaTh Subscriber¹ Posted April 23, 2008 Subscriber¹ Share Posted April 23, 2008 if the monday delivery contract is true, Game sure are preparing early as my copy is classed as picked + packaged and awaiting shipping and i have been charged for it so lets hope they ignore the monday delivery :p When did you Pre-order? Mine was pre-ordered last August and it is still shown as such and no monies taken from my account :( I did get the mail the other day about they might take the money early though.

Emorex Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 There's always the chance of the PS3 getting custom sounds if R* patch it in - Like the Burnout guys did.Surprisingly custom sounds isn't high on my list, just because GTA4 will have a ton of stuff anyway :p Listening to the jokes on the radio never gets old in GTA :laugh: As for online, GTA4 will be a title you'll be playing for a looong time, so be prepared to buy a lengthy subscription ;) Truly, I don't think GTA 4 online will be as ground breaking as CoD4's online component. It will be good, but ultimately in the end, I think it will die down rather quickly and people will want to play single player. Of course, I could be wrong. But the 360 is the clear choice just because of the DLC. Each DLC will be a city (about the size of GTA 3) on its own...I guess that outweighs the $60/yr to play online in my books.

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted April 23, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted April 23, 2008 you got a source? That rumour came from a magazine *I think*. However latest rumour is it's additional missions, characters, ect Between the Xbox 360 version of the game and the PS3 version, Lazlow admits that he prefers the 360 version thanks to the downloadable content; new missions, new characters, new comedy, etc. Source: http://www.gta4.net/news/4074/gta-iv-goes-...ew-screenshots/ Doesn't confirm anything to do with islands, doesn't deny.

R* could easily do some DLC for ps3. for all we know and what is quite likely there will be more than 2 sets of dlc.

Slane Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I don't think GTAIV MP will be as fluid as COD4, but it's first in the serious, and I know for a fact I'll be playing the hell out of it, till I get all online achievements then, I'll go to SP and focus on that, using MP to take breaks from SP. With the achievements being to get packages, etc., think the strategy guide will still tell ya where they all are, like they have in past GTA's? I don't really need one, but it's a tradition that me and a deceased friend always did, so I'm going to keep buying them with every GTA game released, but wondering how much I'm getting for it.

I think they're just clearing the huge backlog of pre-orders for them all to be despatched on Monday morning using Royal Mail's Special Delivery, which all online UK retailers have agreed to do to ensure no one receives it early. But if it is indeed sent tomorrow and I receive in on Saturday, I'll be very happy :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/623986-official-grand-theft-auto-iv/page/18/#findComment-589351242 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emorex Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 (edited) I don't think GTAIV MP will be as fluid as COD4, but it's first in the serious, and I know for a fact I'll be playing the hell out of it, till I get all online achievements then, I'll go to SP and focus on that, using MP to take breaks from SP.With the achievements being to get packages, etc., think the strategy guide will still tell ya where they all are, like they have in past GTA's? I don't really need one, but it's a tradition that me and a deceased friend always did, so I'm going to keep buying them with every GTA game released, but wondering how much I'm getting for it. I have a feeling the achievements for GTA 4 will be very similar to Assassin's Creed. Go get 50 packages, now 100, now 150. There will be story based achievements which will get unlocked just from playing the game. However, to get that 1000/1000 you will have to go find every single flag...erm, package, and kill every single templar...sorry I meant drug dealer. I'm not trying to bash the game. I am very excited about it and this is probably the first time I have been this excited about a game, but I have a feeling some of the design decisions Rockstar had will not be very successful. The main thing is it looks like MP is just tacked onto the game. Personally, I believe that GTA 4 online will be better if it was in a persistent environment. I don't think the "session" based environment will work that well. Although there may be limitations set with Xbox Live/PSN, I just don't think the session based games will work that well. The best aspect of GTA (in my opinion) is the large, realistic city. How can you expect to play a game based on turns (or sessions). These types of online experiences only work for racing, shooters or sports. The environment is just too large to limit online to a small portion. Who knows...we will really have to wait and see what happens.

A couple of people have been spotted on Live with the game, and the achievements are the same as the ones that were released a while ago.
