  1. I know the manager of my local 'Game' store, and she said that at midnight on Tuesday 29th 12AM she will open the front door just for me so I can get it early, because I buy games from there every week since it opened 8 yrs ago.

    (Joke) But I am going to try.

    Most of the game stores here around where I live will be open Monday at midnight and stay open for one hour till 1am Tuesday morning for the people who pre ordered the game.

  2. "In other related news, pictures of the special edition packaging of the game have surfaced. They appear to be from an Australian store, those can be found here. Lastly, it appears an ad for GTA IV which was featured on Chicago’s buses has been removed. The official report from Fox News can be found here. Reasoning behind the ad being taken down was due to it being “violent.” You can discuss the ad and more, in our forums."

    I think we are going to see in game footage well before the Tuesday launch!! Those people in Australia holding the game and taking pictures need to take it home and play!!

    A scary document from EA:

    Anyway, this looks great. This is just making me more hyped up. I'll have fun with that mission with the bodies in the trunk.

    Anybody else think the DLC is going to be more online missions for multiplayer?

    Yeah, that is a scary read man!! Here is the summery:

    I HATE EA!!!!!! :pissedred: They are brutally trying to take over Take Two's shareholders, this is a must read!!

  4. I thought the pic was a San Andreas mod or something at first, not that that's bad but the pic just looks washed out and downgraded to me. The videos however really don't show these adherent flaws so I am assuming its a problem of capturing a still picture from the game and the way its seen on the internet (okay, I may be making excuses now, haha!). But in all seriousness, I really don't think this is what the actual game will look like..... I hope. I really like the multi levelness of the pic though, very cool!!!! B)

  5. I'm not to impressed with the new screen shots either. The graphics just look washed out and downgraded for multi player compared to the single player mode.

    But, one has to remember that the whole city will be accessible during online play with up to 16 players and 15 different modes. So, mabey they had to sacrifice quality over quantity a little bit for the online game to run smoother. Its not that big of a deal as it could be alot worse, there could be no multi player at all ;)

  6. I wouldn't trust this auction either, like stated above his feedback rating is only 97% which is an "A" if your in school, but a definite "F" on ebay. I never bid on anything that has below 99% without doing an in depth look at why other buyers left negative ratings. In this sellers case, I wouldn't risk the transaction, even if Paypal is involved, but thats just me.

  7. "If you can't pull over before you get into a shootout, have no fear -- any weapon in the game can be fired while behind the wheel. So don't drive angry!"

    :o Wow, this game is going to kick some serious ass!!!!

    I'm going to be playing this game for the rest of my life and I'll never get bored!!!!

    Wow, I knew you could have the small arms and grenades while driving, but I didn't know all the other weapons could be used while driving!!

    Hmmm....Shooting with the rocket launcher while driving may be interesting!!! :P

  8. I think Rockstar have shot themselves in the foot! They say that the song's will be hard to come by. I do not think so, as they are giving a CD away with the special edition that contains all the music. All someone has to do is upload that to a torrent sharing site and then everyone will have it. They not think of that or something. Same goes for the artwork that will come with GTA 4 special edition.....Anyway rockstar.....Good luck with that idea... :rofl2: ...

    The special edition CD will probably have at most 16 to 19 songs on it. Rockstar is saying there will be over 200 songs to choose from in the game to download, and many of those will be exclusively written for the game. But, on the other hand, you may be right. If the whole CD is all/only the GTA exclusive material that will be available, then the songs which are written for the game will not be beneficial to someone that has the CD. And I must agree with you that once the songs (and CD) are available, the torrent sites will have them within a few minutes of release, if not well before. :evil:

  9. I think we all know that this would be the death of the GTA series as we now know it if EA has their greedy hands in it. EA's command and conquer approach to acquiring developers and publishers as their history shows, do not do any games justice. As sad as this might seem, I would rather see Microsoft come in and save the day if Take Two were really on the fritz of being acquired. EA, it seems, is turning into an obvious monopoly.
