It definitely looks hot.

[Defgeph]

Its safe to say I'm not going to work that day.

[SeverX13]

WHHHYYYYY!!!! i cant beleive i am sellin my 360. no gta4...im still buyin the game. i read they no bullet hole will be that same. like shooting glass. parts will randomly fall when shot ill go to a friend house an play ahha

[beastman]

i cant wait for that. Its going to be an awesome and so in depth game. Im already super excited for it.

[96bluevert]

I've had this game on pre-order since last August, and I'm told pre-orders get to buy it at ebgames at midnight the night before it comes out . I don't think I'll be getting much sleep that night. Can't wait!

[Supersprynt]

What's different from the last 3? IDK if this is progressive enough for me to purchase.

The thing i'm most looking forward to, and probably the biggest leap forward is the physics engine.

Check out the Euphoria engine on youtube, it will make the characters and objects move super realistically and add so much to the comedy of the game.

[supershannon77]

I can't wait for this game.

[celicadude04]

This game and Gran Turismo, I'm finaly going to use the PS3 for gaming.

What's different from the last 3? IDK if this is progressive enough for me to purchase.

for one thing, its freakin huge!!




its like the difference between gta3 and san andreas

[Supersprynt]

I'll rent it first. I'm not convinced this is worth buying.

[supershannon77]

Erik...is it kinda like a been there played that kinda thing not much has changed so whats the point? You seemed to be happy about assassins creed being a trilogy but I guess thats only bc it has a story to follow and it kinda just ended.(I still didn't finish the game...im close tho) I'm just wondering bc I liked all the older gta games so I figure I know what to expect and Ill enjoy this game if its like the rest...I'm just excited for it. What I don't understand is when people get all excited for a new Madden..bc those games are always the same imo.

Nothing has changed... you beat up hookers and take their money, just like in the last one. Yet, somehow, every time you do it, it feels like the first time!

[SeverX13]

not this map is gonna be crazy. its been being set back for a while because they are going to make every buliding enterable and most rooms. also it takes 1 hour real time to drive across the whole map to the other side.

not this map is gonna be crazy. its been being set back for a while because they are going to make every buliding enterable and most rooms. also it takes 1 hour real time to drive across the whole map to the other side.

man, that's gonna be fun.

i don't think i'll even try to play this. GTA is dead. being able to enter the buildings? hmm..what are ya gonna do in there? jus kill people.

drive. kill. drive. hooker. kill. blow up stuff. cheats. blow more stuff up.

its eye candy, but IMO thats pretty much it.

[SeverX13]

i used to play gta games when i would get angry. its a good stress releiver. btu teh point of the building thing is to make it more realistic

It's basically, I have the last 3 games, and none of them were THAT much different from the previous one. Vice city you could fly, cool. I liked skydiving - but I'm not going to slap $60 down on something that I'm not so sure will bring something new to the table. I'll rent it, and if it's cool enough I'll buy it but I have zero excitement for this game.

[xs94st]

^^^ we're in the same ship.

it looks beautiful though

first review ive seen....

[manphibian]

This guy's finished it:

http://www.gamesradar.com/f/hes-finished-g...040412432960029

light years ahead of past GTAs. Overall, it's a stratospheric leap forward, beyond anything I'd imagined.

[SeverX13]

RIGHT NOW ITS 8:30PM AND IM ON MY WAY TO SIT AT GAMESTOP FOR 3 1/2 HOURS JUST TO GET GTA4!!! haha I MUST BE AN IDIOT! OH WELL!!!! YESS!!!!!

[jason]

i think the moddin of the game is what makes these sooooo awesome for me.

of course i game on my pc instead of a console, but being able to add your own cars, and change pretty much anything you wish always makes a game fun.

imo vice city is my favorite simply due to how its modded on my computer. when i play it on a console, it sucks! cars are slow, weapons arent fun, cops are stupid

im deff gonna get it, and legit get it too =)

[forkee]

i preordered the special edition from amazon.com. no tax, free shipping, plus they are the only ones ive found to add the liberty city license plate on top of the included metal safe deposit box and duffle bag =p (best buy offers a lame poster)

sigh....i have no life. lol

ps. those looking for $10 off, check out radio shack and circuit city. they are offering a gift card with any version of the game.

[96bluevert]

Going to get this game in only 4 hours...Already paid the full amount so all I have to do at midnight is go there and pick it up Can't wait!

[Supersprynt]

So I picked this game up. I wasn't going to, but after the great reviews I did.

Well, the game has already froze up on me twice. I can't believe it. This is the PS3 version which people are saying looks better, but to have the game freeze twice in less than an hour is totally unacceptable. I'm probably going to bring it back and get another. If that doesn't help, I'm returning it permanently.

Update: Doing some research, I found that it is suggested that all game data is deleted and reinstalled. When you start the game it installs about 3000+mb of game data before you play, takes a few mins to load it up. We'll see if this fixes it.

Update: It didn't. 3 lockups within 45minutes.

^^ that sucks....ive played mine for 3 hours straight with no freezing. all i can say is awesome graphics. there is a learning curve if your used to the old gta series. definitely not your usual "steal car, beat up people, shoot people" game anymore. not to mention you can go online and roam around the city and mingle and/or shoot other online people. on top of the extracurricular pool, you can play darts, go bowling, visit comedy clubs and strip clubs.

[Supersprynt]

Nothings worked for me, I will probably return the game today.

[manphibian]

I've played about 10 hours on this already and it hasn't frozen once, nothing.


It is the best game i've ever played.


Is your PS3 well ventilated? Sounds like overheating to me. Are the fans working ok?

[Supersprynt]

My PS3 is fine. I've never had these problems with any other game. I'm not the only one, if you google GTA4 freezing you'll find a lot of forum posts regarding the issue. Mostly with 60gig PS3s, but I have a 40gig. It's also not limited to PS3, some 360 owners are reporting the problem also, but not nearly to the extent of PS3.

One rumor was that Gamestop got a bunch of bad discs, and this is where I purchased mine, so I will be returning it and buying from a different vendor. If this solves the problem, then maybe it is a bad batch.

I'm just pissed that at first I wasn't even going to buy it, then with the exellent reviews I was like ok why not, and then it's just locking up my PS3.

[manphibian]

That's rough.

There's not much here in the UK about freezing, so that back's up the faulty batch theory, fingers crossed. (Although there have been a couple )

[BLINKYxMUNKEY]

RIGHT NOW ITS 8:30PM AND IM ON MY WAY TO SIT AT GAMESTOP FOR 3 1/2 HOURS JUST TO GET GTA4!!! haha I MUST BE AN IDIOT! OH WELL!!!! YESS!!!!!

Seriously waited 3.5 hours? I walked into target, got a copy of GTAIV, and left in less than 10 minutes.

[jcaron9gt4]

borderline best game ever, I got mine yesterday and me and my buddies cant stop playing it. ign gave it a 10 out of 10, you can't really argue with that one.

[Supersprynt]

Yeah it's rough! Everyones like this is the greatest game, it's so awesome. I can't play 10mins. worth of it to find out!

From what I've been reading it's been randomly happening to every type of PS3 but mostly 20 & 60 gigs. This doesn't help since I have a 40. It's not just one chain of stores, it's worldwide, it's both consoles.

I waited an hour in front of the mall until they let us in, after the wait though, I had the game w/ in 10 min . When I left there was still a huge line out the door, around the corner, outside the mall doors and around another corner lol. Such an awesome game! I agree, the controls take some getting used to too in this one.

[manphibian]

It's what you get for dissing it earlier in the thread

Rockstar is watching joooo



(sorry) To make you feel better, it seems to be wiping out the last of the XBoxes

[Supersprynt]

Update: I disabled my WiFi on the PS3 and now I have been playing for 3 hrs problem free. Seems something is up with connecting to the PSN.

I don't know about that. I think Rockstar just didn't get rid of ALL the bugs they should have b/c mine froze up earlier today as I was only 1.5 hours into playing it on my 360, but 3 hours yeasterday morning and 3 at night, it had no problem at all..I really hope my copy isn't defective

I don't think it's an answer to everyone. I will turn it on tomorrow and try playing again, see what happens. If it locks up again, I'm going to have to conclude that there's something wrong with the PSN talking to the game.

But for now, I can actually play the game. It's pretty good so far.

[Celiracer18]

played it for about 12 hours total so far and its locked up twice. on both occasions it came back in less than a minute so its not too bad.

game is great btw

I got the game when it came out.. and played for about 10 min then went to bed. Woke up the next day to find my roomate knocked over the 360 and it is now broke....I have to wait for a week while he gets it fixed....I am leaving it in my room after that.

GTAIV for PS3 now has a patch available which should eliminate the freezing, or so they hope. Apparently servers were being overloaded and causing crashes, I'll check this out later today when I DL it.

[96bluevert]

anyone know if they are working on a patch for the older 360's? I get freezing now and then, not horrible, but still would be nice to be able to play w/out worrying about it.

[sous710]

im almost done with it also another couple of days.....mine is working fine but my xbox is less than 6 months old. and i think all ps3 games freeze up. i couldnt even finish devil may cry 4. if it wasnt for the new metal gear comin out i would sell the thing.

Not all PS3 games freeze up, in fact none should. I haven't had a problem with any of my other games.

[manphibian]

i've never had a problem with any PS3 game in 16 months i've had it.

no problems with my ps3 so far. i didn't even need the gta patch. i was playing online just fine. if you're just all about mgs4 you can sell your ps3 now and get the mgs4 bundle when it comes out. play it, beat it, and then sell that too.

[sous710]

its juss so hard bein a ps2 guy for the longest time. idk if it matters any but i cheaped out and got the 40 gig. and it doubles as a semi second computer with the internet and all. i use this 1 site called surfthenet.com to watch all the new movies in theaters still. black market but some of em come in good. lol save the 50 bux it would cost me to go out and c'em.....

[forkee]

well it finally froze on me. not really freeze but a glitch. i went to triangles for 20 something minutes and after a private viewing he just sat on the chair tapping his fingers. no option to get up, pressed all the buttons and the only one that worked was the pause (start) and the ps home button.
