New info including return of wardrobe from Rockstar Uncut:
Some news has come about in a new German GamePro magazine, although its just small info, it still counts.
- At the beginning of the game, Roman's taxi stand will be Niko's first safehouse and the first place for receiving missions, as well.
- A wardrobe will be introduced in Niko's latter safehouse.
- The pedestrians will react accordingly to Niko's actions.
- The mobile phone will play a big role in GTA IV.
And more...
GTA IV turned GTA into a more grounded franchise where storytelling and immersion became just as engrossing as wrecking up open-world sandboxes.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.
I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing
1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.
It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!
I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.
Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.
Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.
Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:
- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2
I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.
Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.
I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.
I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.
But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5
Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.
As we have all been graced by the release of Grand Theft Auto 6's trailer, we're ranking the best and worst GTA trailers to date.
We be getting these posts All week now lads. Someone noticed a number plate ... Someone noticed a billboard... I can see it now
Just go on YouTube and watch one of the many videos dissecting the whole 1minite 30secs worth.
This site supposed to be for news.
These updates on N4G are going to ruin whats rest of this site. Unfortunate since I was one of the first members.. The site shows unsecure when i login as well.
Am I the only one that can't seem to get through on the link?
- The pedestrians will react accordingly to Niko’s actions.
How many times will they say this BS in a video game. They will probably still say the same 3 things over and over and scream and run if I have a gun. Nothing mind blowing I guarantee.
I don't mind "Improved pedestrian A.I." But not that they will react to everything.
- The mobile phone will play a big role in GTA IV.
If Otis from Dead Rising is on the other line, I will fire this game out into my pool. Jesus was that guy annoying. 1000's of Zombies on my ass and he's blowing up my phone non-stop ?! What a prick...
So, we now know where he starts... and that he gets missions from there... and you can change his clothes... and that the cell phone will be *very* important (correct me if I'm wrong, but, phones essentially are used to make calls, and that's about it... unless you can dynamically speak to NPC's using the headset... I can't imagine it being that groundbreaking)...
Last but possibly least, pedestrians will react to everything? They'd better! You've been working on this game for years and it will potentially be the first to utilize the Euphoria engine.
How about some details that make us sit and think? I'm dying to know how the new physics engine will be incorporated. Give us some examples of that, things that we could never imagine from GTAIII that are now possible in IV. Can we spend time with a pistol, shooting away support beams of objects on the tops of buildings? Causing them to detach and crash on the street below in real time? How about a minigame with a fire rescue chopper with people hanging onto the rope ladder for dear life as they swing wildly beneath you? Can people be ejected from high speed car crashes?
Let's talk details... not vague already known blips of information (all of that has been mentioned already aside from the taxi safehouse)
I can't wait for this game.
This GTA looks like it's going to be incredible in it's grandure but I'm having concerns about its gameplay. I don't mean to start a war here but really, who enjoyed needing to go eat, exercise, or excessively tag the entire city? Those types of actions seriously turned me off of San Andreas.
So no offense to any of you who are hardcore GTA fans but if this game turns out to be more intricately involved and have detailed character necessities (i.e. need to eat, need to exercise, etc.) than San Andreas, I feel it's going to be a real irritation to play.
I for one found more pleasure in playing Vice City than any other GTA to date.
