Official GTA IV Thread
Coming out in October with episodic content in 2008. March 29th will be the first trailer. Figured I'd start this now.

Episodic content? What's that, like add-ons?
Man, I can't wait for this game, whether I have the console for it or not. ![]() |

I dunno, gta became boring for me after I played vice city to death. Like, I got partway into San Andreas, and I just didn't care.
I think a big part of that is the fact that there are a lot of games that take the open enviornment formula of gta, and put it in a fantastic setting. Games like spider-man 2, Mercenaries, and Crackdown make the activity in GTA just seem tame and uninteresting. With Cracdown out, and more importantly, Mercanaries 2 on the way, I could give a fuck about the next gta |

Episodic content will be like more "chapters" to the story. So, yeah, like add-ons.
But other than the release date and the trailer date, everything about this game has been pretty quiet. The trailer will be the first look at the era, new features, and if we go back to being white. Or, possibly a customizable character this time. For some reason I think this is a big possibility. |

I hope that the extra content for this game isnt crap like...New clothes and haircuts for your character...
If its not new storylines then I probably wont be buying the extra crap... Cant wait for the game though...since I own a 360...This and Guitar Hero 2 are the only two games im really waiting for.. |

The episodic content isn't just a new weapon or new car, it's hours of additional gameplay.

GTA: London was full of cheesey Austin Power like refferences and quotes.
Wonder if the Hot Coffee mini game will make it the proper final version this time ![]() |

Nothing is known about GTAIV except that the trailer will be released 29th of March, and that it will use the RAGE Engine (Rockstars Advanced Graphics Engine) its what they used for Rockstars table tennis.

It could end up being a teaser trailer, which although unlikley, wouldn't be unexpected from Rockstar |

It won't be a teaser trailer because this is usually the time when they started releasing information for the other games.

Yeah I know, but beware that this time is very close to April fools day (1st) Its weird how we usually get screenshots in march, and a trailer in may.
But they did this with L.A Noire |

Could have add ons like crackdown, new agents on crackdown but you could download or design your own t-shirt that would be bang tight

I don't have any doubts that this will be the first truly huge game of the next-gen (even bigger than Halo 3). I'm hoping it will be on a brand new engine, because while GTA 3-SA were awesome, the ground controls were always a little stiff.

Yo quick question. Why does everyoen credit open enviornment/free roam to GTA? Why would you not credit it to say... ZEDLA? Bugs me.

http://www.qj.net/Rockstar-Games-lov...g/49/aid/84343 Are you familiar with the company NaturalMotion and its Euphoria Engine? No? Well, soon, you will be. NaturalMotion is actually the first company to create 3D character animation software based on DMS or Dynamic Motion Synthesis. In case you're wondering why this matters to you, please take note that the company just announced a partnership with Rockstar Games. NaturalMotion said that Rockstar Games will now be including Euphoria in its upcoming next-gen titles. The engine will simulate the human body and nervous system that allows characters to be fully interactive, allowing them to act differently every time. CEO Torsten Reil remarked, In Rockstar, we have found a partner that shares this vision, and is renowned for creating some of the most ground-breaking and immersive games in the industry. We are thrilled and honored to work with a partner of such high caliber, and look forward to helping create amazing titles. Finally, NaturalMotion promises to make announcements regarding specific titles *cough...GTA IV...cough* soon. I'll try and dig up some Youtube vids of the engine in action (Not of GTA though) |

There is a tech demo of the Euphoria engine, shown by throwing some Stormtroopers around. Looks lush as you can see. |

They need to do either: Late '90s one (or was that GTA III) or just another location like Chicago, Hawaii, or Texas.
New features should be like you should be able to interact more with the city. You can go to sporting events, concerts, nightclubs (and actually drink and pick up a girl or something), go to the mall with girl/allies. You can fly to different cities (back to miami, NY, LA, Las Vegas, etc. since there will be more disk space). I'll think of more later... |

It will probably have a lot of the same online types as the PSP games have had. Probably more.

I'm pretty sure there will be net play of some sort, I looked on the Rockstar North website earlier in the year (2006) and they were looking for net programmers to apply.

I hope the multiplayer is more like it was for James Bond for N64. 4 screens split and stuff. Different places like say a part of town where you can roam around. Like online you just roam around and you can either go into a part of land (ex. Los Santos, Sanfierro) and its free for all there...snipers and shit. That would be bombay!!
