I live in the UK but put down a preorder at ShopTo around Christmas time for this so will be getting it on release day (maybe before). Once they get their stock in they despatch it immediately :D
I have resisted but visiting this site tends to be my downfall in that respect.
Personally, I don't want to know about the story, but I'm all ears to the game features.
Everyone should feel sorry for Wii owners.
I'm interested more in what these reviewers are saying about the game than what score they give it. Afterall we can't play a score can we?
Every review makes this sound more awesome too!
lol.
Gotta agree with you, someone somewhere will give this less than 10 mainly for effect, it is very likely to be IGN.
Walkman phones are awesome!
What is it about having to be able to listen to music at every possible moment in games?
Not having music on the phone in GTA4 allows you to take in the great surroundings R* have put together. One of the reasons why I'd never use in-game music if it were added for the PS3, for example, I like COD4 the way it is thanks :D
...I think the PS3 40GB GTA4 bundle will have a much more damaging effect for MS than the DLC will have for Sony.
The bundles will be in store windows, the DLC isn't going to be a visible or immediately available thing so it may be a recovery tactic more than an offensive one against Sony. Sony's sales will pick up further following MGS4's release so MS will need the DLC to sell well, if not then that $50mil went to waste.
Remember though, Rockstar do not like ta...
well, 3 points...
Anything funded by MS will blatantly be biased towards MS, it's just the way it works. Why fund something when you're not getting anything back?
I hope people don't take this article too seriously lol
In SA you had both players on the same screen with limits to how far apart you could get.
With split screen you have no limits and two players, each with their own bit of the screen. It's not like SA really.
The R* guys said themselves the PS3 version looks better.
I think it'll perform better too, the processor is powerful enough to run it fine, with a HDD install too I don't think we'll see much (if any) slowdown on the PS3 version.
Installing to HDD is recommended imo for GTA4 considering its sheer scale.
Additions to Liberty City was hinted at over a year ago by Rockstar for PS3 before the 360 deal. It's not really a brand new concept CVG have brought up here and may indeed happed some point in the future, but not yet.
A new city would be a few gigs and would take R* at least a year to design to anywhere near the standard of Liberty City. Small additional districts sound possible but not an entire city, like those originally hinted for PS3. Then again maybe this is all false an...
I've disagreed with far too many reviews in my time to even consider basing a purchase on them again. Games on the PS1 like Future Cop: LAPD by EA or Unholy War (AAA game) by Crystal Dynamics were awesome but missed by the masses and given low scores by reviewers unjustly.
Although this is now GTA4 and not a PS1 game lol the same problem exists today with reviews, if a game is seen to be a big hit it'll get high scores otherwise the reviewer's site gets boycotted a lot of the t...
I'd call a full network crash just because there are too many people online a f*** up, just like Live crashing a few months ago. That was a royal failure on their part. This is no where near as bad, just a few icons that'll be sorted. The new store itself works fine and everyone can get into it and download stuff, so it works fine but will speed up over time.
Would love a KZ2 demo, just the E3 level but with the latest touch-ups would be fine. Looks amazing!
...on MGS4!
Make sure you're back with a PS3 for that! :D
Sony are working to get the igXMB out as soon as possible, they have to test that it works properly and won't mess up the game when it's used so in due time it'll be released. They've officially announced that they're working on implementing it as soon as possible.
Remember we're not paying them for this, they're giving us these things for free, I'm just looking forward to the COD4 maps this week. one thing at a time. Cod4 maps, GTA4, igXMB, MGS4 and so on.
I'm n...
...Universe at War, late last year, for the FULL multiplayer options you have to setup a Live account and pay for the Gold membership.
You can play a basic online game with others for free with the Silver membership but can't play the better MP games without paying.
That's the way it's going and I haven't touched UaW online because of it. It's disappointing the way things are going if MS intends on doing this. If the 360 hadn't worked out the way it has done then...
The bundle sales are seperate to this. This is about preorders of the game standalone. The bundles have started appearing on retailer's sites and are expected to be in stock around release, there won't be nearly enough I don't think. If they advertise the bundle right then PS3's will be flying off the shelves in a few weeks...
I learned the hard way with GTA:SA, all my mates had it before me because I didn't preorder and had to wait at least a week before I could get hold of it.
This time will be different however ;D
