This is to stop all threads about GTA.

Idea by: Azul
Great information by: Neil


- You play as Niko Bellic, he is an Eastern-European immigrant in his mid-thirties that has come to Liberty City seeking the American dream (free living and all that)

- Liberty City is once again the location the game is held, which is the Rockstar version of New York, all the right places are there but renamed, Broker is Brooklyn, Manhattan is now called Algonquin, Queens is now Dukes, the Bronx is Bohan, and New Jersey is Alderney.
Landmarks in the game will include, Coney Island Cyclone, Times Square, the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building and the MetLife Building (GetaLife in game), Statue of Liberty has also been renamed for the game and is now Statue of Happiness, the game map isn't as big as San Andreas but it is meant to take about an hour to get from one side to the other

- Streets are all individually named for the new way to find where to go during missions (beats mission markers) I assume you'll have some form on PDA, we'll see.

- Almost all missions are started using Nikos mobile phone, another unique feature is that with the mobile phone you may now call other people aswell.

- Stealing cars is now more realistic, you will now break the window and unlock it from the inside other than opening the door and driving off with possibly an alarm.

- There IS online multiplayer and co-op, unfortunatly it wont be co-op on the single player missions (like Saints Row co-op)

- When shooting you will go into a view above the shoulder, like when you aim on GoW I assume, it is possible to auto-lock, hand to hand combat is also being reworked.

- You can now climb telephone poles and fire escapes.

- Nikos outfit can be changed but his physical appearance can't

- Xbox 360 will receive 2 exclusive "episodes" in the xbox live marketplace for an unknown amount of Microsoft points

- The things listed below will come with the special edition version of the game

* A Rockstar keychain for the safe deposit box keys.
* A limited edition Rockstar duffel bag.
* Production artwork from GTA IV in the "Grand Theft Auto IV Art Book".
* Selected soundtrack CD from Grand Theft Auto IV, featuring new material from top artists, only available on this release.
* A specially packaged version of the game for either PS3 or Xbox 360.

- More buildings will be accessable by the player, sky scapers will be used and you will be able to throw people off of them

- No airplanes will be obtainable, helicopters will be but an airport is in the game.

- The options that are available on Nikos phone are, Phonebook, Messages, Organizer, and Camera.

- The sound of the game has been improved, you will hear cars, the water, possibly many other things while roaming the city of Liberty City

- No loading screens

Now I'm doing some research to find some more info.

It seems the Esperanto makes an appearance in this game too. I think the Esperanto has appeared in GTA SA, Vice City and GTA 3.

http://www.gtawh.com/images/sa/car/esperanto.jpg - SA version

http://rockstargames.com/IV/screenshots/006.jpg - GTA 4 look a like.

It's a bit rubbish, yar, but it does look similar front wise. The GTA 4 version has 5 doors as opposed to the 3 door one in SA, VC and 3.

Yea but there is only so much detail developers can go into really, could you imagine the amount of work it'd take to give every car it's specific year aswell as the rest being random so you wont get two cars with the same plate? xD

I hope with GTA4 they'll make it so cars get dirty after a while if not exposed to water

Tough, I want good detail :P

I'm sure in GTA SA they got dirty? I remember going to pay n' sprays and seeing dirty on white cars near the bottom, but afterwards it disappeared. I also think some cars had dirty, some didn't?

Hopefully they'll make it so you can park cars at the road side, without them 100% disappearing.

Something similar to VC and VCS where you can run businesses wouldn't go amiss either.

Reckon you'll need fuel in cars? Not just unlimited?

If you've played SAMP they have a mod where there is a fuel meter and I think it would be a brilliant addition.

They ain't doing the business thing, read it in Playstation magazine. They interviewed Rockstar and they said the whole 'rags to riches' makes the concept unrealistic.

gta 4 sounds really good
if you have been on the official forums it seems a lot harder from what i've read
e.g if you have a broken window the cops will assume you stole it and you get 1 star cops..

gta 4 sounds really good

If its more realistic in that sense, lets hope its more realistic in that they don't start shooting at you for nudging their cars.

I decided to start playing SA again to hype myself up for IV, it's a pity my PS2 is so buggy and pauses itself so much.

The realism sounds cool too, but I hope they don't over-elaborate on that stuff.

Mhm, they can only make it so real anyway. You have to be able to kill people, which would be hard on the scale in real life.

I don't mind idea of police chasing you for a broken window, but they shouldn't auto kill for nudging them when they were in wrong side of road chasing someone.

Think a dodgy ps2 is buggy. Started playing VCS for some reason. Now thats glitchy. Like playing True Crime:NY.

Rumor:
when you leave a car you can lock it, but if the car is stolen somthing comes up on the screen whick tells you that someone has stolen it, and gives you directions to the location so u can beat the person up and get the car back. sounds kwl

Doubt it , it'd get rather annoying whenever someone stole a car having a maker appear.
Although if true a good idea i suppose

I found this on another forum: in response to one of the trailers
http://video.yahoo.com/video/play?vid=723772&fr=yfp-t-501:

"the physics engine entitled Euphoria, but to sum it up. It's a dynamic physics/animation system. The engine makes choices for the AI based on what's happening right there. There is NO canned animations in reactions by any characters. They are just given simple instructions on what to do. For example, as you may or may not be able to see in the trailer, when he's walking, it doesn't feel like a constant loop, and he walks ON the ground, it doesn't look like he's walking above, he looks and feels like he's one with the environment.

Another example, is the door kicking scene. It's not pre-animated, it's not pre-made. He kicks down the door, the door reacts as normal, as well as the pieces. What does all this mean? No reaction, no explosion, nothing will look the same. It's going to look different every single time, making the city and it's surroundings feel fully alive.

The city will be SMALLER in SIZE than SA. Keep those two words in your head, I'll try and explain it. It will be much LARGER in SCOPE. Meaning, there's more to explore in the city than all GTAs environments combined. If a building has an interior, it has the entire thing. Not one room of an apartment, not one floor of a building. The WHOLE thing. You will be able to interact with objects, there has been a rumor of a demo scene where Niko breaks into someones house, picks up their TV (a spark flies as it's ripped from the plug), and Niko opens the window, and throws it out, then stepping out of the window, running part way down the fire escape and jumping the rest down.

Now, that hasn't been confirmed, but some people claim it to be part of the demo shown to larger gaming sites. So, the scope will be much larger. It, again, will feel like a living, breathing city.
- There will be no returning characters, which is good. They're starting over, a whole new set of characters to meet.

- No customization Sim-style ********. You will be able to change some clothing items, disguises will be used in some missions. You don't have to eat to stay alive, and you can't gain weight (which was annoying anyways). Also, you still will NOT have to get gas for your cars.

- AI is completely re-created. There still won't be an infinite number of citizens, but the citizens can change hairstyles, facial hair styles, clothing, weight, other features. Yes, you'll still see some dupes, though they said they've implemented code to try and stop it from happening so often.

- Citizens/Drivers have places they're heading to. It's been said if you follow a car for 20 minutes, it WILL go somewhere, not in a circle, the citizen will get out, and head somewhere that they need to go. You will apparently be able to follow someone to their house, break in, and uh, yeah.

EDIT: It was actually confirmed tonight that the truck-clinging part, is PART of the game. Some sort of module that they're going to apparently explain more about at E3 coming out. But, you will be able to do it freely. I also forgot to add, that is showing off the EUPHORIA engine, as well as the part where he's hanging from the helicopter.

The police have been revamped aswell, apparantly "It will be much harder for criminals to succeed in the game"."

* The demo begins in Grand Theft Auto IV's equivalent of Times Square: Star Junction. There aren't many pedestrians present at this time, but this is most likely due to the early nature of the code.

* The mobile phone can be used to gain weapons. In the demo that gamesTM saw, Niko calls his associate Little Jacob, who is a caribbean arms dealer. No more Ammu-Nation it seems. After a brief chat with Jacob, he tells Niko to meet him in an alleyway in Rotterdam Hill, where he purchases the weapons from him.

* Niko can use taxis to get around (presumably he can use the phone to call a taxi). The police are much more vigilant in GTA IV, and sometimes it is less hassle using a taxi than jacking someone's car. The trip-skip option is available for convenience.

* In the demo, Niko recieves a call concerning "shady lawyer" Goldberg, of Goldberg, Ligner & Shyster (GLS). Niko can use the internet in GTA4. He heads over to an internet café called the "Tw@ Café," and hops onto a PC before surfing. He uploads his CV to the GLS website so he can get an interview - before killing Goldberg. He receives a phonecall confirming the time of his interview. The web is available from any computer in the game, and provides a hub for all sorts of interactivity within Liberty City.

* Missions in GTA IV can be interrupted. The interview isn't until tomorrow, which means you can carry out other business until then. This suggests you can be do several missions at the same time, and missions can take place over several days, perhaps.

* Next in the demo, Niko pays a visit to somebody called McReary, at Castle Gardens, a coast-side hangout overlooking the Statue of Hapiness. McReary has had a memory stick stolen from him which contains sensitive data, and he wants Niko to retrieve it for him. He takes another cab to the meeting point, where the target is standing amongst a crowd of people. The problem is he doesn't know which one it is, so he gives him a call to see which one picks up their phone. Niko shoots the target three times in the back of the head, before taking the memory stick and making a run for it. He gains a three-star wanted level as a result.

* Committing crimes isn't as easy in GTA IV. You gain a wanted level for every crime you commit, aslong as there are witnesses present. Once you have gained a wanted level, a visible (circular) search area appears on the radar, and if you escape this area without being spotted, your wanted level will flash and disappear. If you are spotted, however, the search area's position changes, and centers on where you were last spotted. So unlike previous GTA games, the police don't always know where you are. They can't catch you unless they find you first. It was confirmed previously that in GTA IV every street will be named, and this is what cops use to communicate when they are tracking you down. There are no Pay N' Spray's to save you this time, unfortunately.

* Before heading off to the interview, Niko goes to a menswear store called Perseus. After spending $2,000 on a new suit and shoes, his phone alarm sounds and he begins his journey to the GLS offices for his interview. He speaks to the receptionist from outside the building via intercom, before making his way into the building. He enters Goldeberg's office and puts a bullet in his head, which causes his secretary to trigger the alarm. Niko must beat security guards and police in order to get out of the building. Bullets rain down on him, and there's a police chopper waiting outside. It seems as though the more bullets he takes, the more damage he takes, and hence he becomes less able to fight. The damage is actually visible this time.

It sounds soooo fkn good, GIMME IT NOW.

You're really pessimistic.
