How the hell am I going to sit on a picnic table after reading that?!
Nothing will ever be the same anymore...

LOL!

Please keep your discussion regarding the fourth GTA IV trailer in this topic. We do not need another topic for this. Closed.

Nearly a week ago TGTAP reported that the press had received one of 500 limited edition GTA IV Xbox 360s. Well today it appears one of said 360s found its way onto eBay! With a “Buy It Now!” price of $700, you get the limited edition Xbox 360, the briefcase filled with accessories, 12 months of Xbox Live, and 1,600 Microsoft Points. The Xbox 360 Elite system is number 92 out of the 500 produced.
Neither I, nor TGTAP know if this auction is authentic or not, so buyers beware. Regardless, hopefully a fan does get their hands on it and shares us some pictures of it in action! The auction can be found here.
Thanks Original GTA Master!

Yahoo! Games has a new article up today giving us five reasons (as if we need five) to buy GTA IV. It gives a good overview of the newly announced Amazon MP3 deal, GTA IV’s graphics, and the multiplayer features. Yahoo! notes that you’ll be able to “request an ambulance for an injured citizen,” and that “any weapon in the game can be fired while behind the wheel!”
You can read the article in full here. However I doubt anyone reading this needs any more reasons to pick up GTA IV on April 29!

It'll most likely be for more than just GTA IV I'd imagine.

To coincide the release of Rockstar Games’ GTA IV, they’ll also be opening up a site called Rockstar Social Club on the very same day. Rockstar Social Club will allow you to view your online statistics, have performance-based competitions, and awards all on the site. Registration begins on April 15 using your Xbox Live Gamertag or PSN ID (they’re starting registration early so we don’t all register on the day GTA IV’s released). Below are a few details:
- “LCPD Police Blotter -- A virtual map and tracker of single-player criminal activity logged in Liberty City from the aggregated data of millions of connected players - showing the most dangerous areas of town, most commonly used weapons and more.”
- “The Story Gang -- This special single-player leaderboard recognizes players who complete Niko Bellic’s main story arc of Grand Theft Auto IV - The leaderboard ranks players according to the total amount of playing time it’s taken to complete the story, as well as a historical rank by who has completed it first. Members of this club will receive special online widgets and merit badges marking all of their in-game accomplishments.”
- “The 100% Club -- Watch to see who will be the first to complete 100% of the game. The first ten people to be identified on the Social Club as reaching 100% will be sent an ultra-rare commemorative ‘key to the city’ to mark their accomplishment. In the future, the 100% Club will then carry a historical leaderboard showing rankings of who has completed 100% of a game in the shortest span of playing hours.”
- “The Hall of Fame -- This area will dynamically recognize those singularly elite players who have reached the top of the hill on various statistical leaderboards, and will also contain a personal awards display of special in-game landmarks and successes in Social Club competitions.”
- “The Liberty City Marathon -- A ranking of special physical milestones achieved in the game - from the amount of miles walked, driven, or swam - to the number of bullets fired and stunt-jumps jumped. There will be additional special marathon-based competitions in the future from this area as well.”
Special competitions, leaderboards and challenges will be given “regularly in the weeks and months following the game’s release.”
- “LCPD Police Blotter -- A virtual map and tracker of single-player criminal activity logged in Liberty City from the aggregated data of millions of connected players - showing the most dangerous areas of town, most commonly used weapons and more.”

Just a heads-up, the fourth GTA IV trailer titled “‘Good lord, what are you doing?’ AKA ‘Everyone’s a rat’” will be released tonight at 10PM GMT, or 6PM EST. You’ll find the trailer on Rockstar’s official GTA IV site, and shortly after on the Xbox Live Marketplace and the PlayStation Store (just as the previous ones).
CVG reports saying it’ll be the final trailer before the worldwide release of the game on April 29th, 2008, so we have no idea of what to expect from Rockstar! As always, TheGTAPlace will keep you posted, and once its released, we’ll have it up for your viewing pleasure (if you don’t want to attempt to get into Rockstar’s website which will obviously be hammered).

I was going to post these when I first saw them at Destructoid but realized Rockstar would just want us to take them down hours later, hopefully Rockstar hears about how responsible I, and TGTAP were about these leaked maps...
*cough* give us free shit *cough*Anyway, I removed all the links to the maps posted in here. Its leaked material and just like how an artist wouldn't want his half-done painting shown to his fans, they don't want you seeing them yet.
Edit: I also closed this topic before it turns into a request topic for the leaked maps. Just wait it out, its only a month until launch anyway.

Wait... Star Wars wasn't a trilogy...

Cool info,
even though it isn't as helpful and interesting as the first multiplayer details. I found this interesting:
[*]PLAY Magazine witnessed an ordinary pedestrian spray paint graffiti on the wall of a store; they no longer only walk around and randomly mutter phrases.If this happens, will it stay there the next time you come to the location where the pedestrian spraypainted the graffiti, will it still be there? Will it stay there forever? Or just slowly fade away?
----Wait, this is a single player detail, right?
There are pedestrians in both multiplayer and single player (although they can be turned off in multiplayer to my knowledge). So, I'd say that's a detail for both multi and single player.

PLAY Magazine, a UK gaming magazine recently got their hands on GTA IV’s multiplayer, they feature an eight-page long preview of it in their latest issue. The magazine sadly doesn’t give us anything we haven’t seen before in terms of screenshots, but it does have a few new minor details on said multiplayer:
- Multiplayer is accessed via Niko’s mobile phone, and from there you’re given the option to select game types, invite friends, etc.
- As we’ve heard, you’re allowed to customize your online character, but as you play more you unlock more options (as would be expected).
- PLAY Magazine witnessed an ordinary pedestrian spray paint graffiti on the wall of a store; they no longer only walk around and randomly mutter phrases.
- PLAY Magazine was allowed to play 8 of the 15 multiplayer modes in GTA IV.
- Not every game mode supports up to 16 players.
Full details of what we currently know about the modes can be found on our GTAIV Multiplayer page.
Stay tuned for more information on GTA IV’s multiplayer, and the rest of the game as we come closer and closer to the game’s release!

OGTAM, you forgot one on that list, with the next update the PS3's Blu-ray player will be updated to profile 2.0, making it the first BD-Live enabled player (and final spec player) on the market! Funny, that list missed the biggest thing in the update!

Microsoft sent out 500 limited edition GTA IV Xbox 360s to the press today, making us all jealous in the process. These Xbox 360s will not be for sale and are solely for building hype for the game (as if there isn’t any?), so we sadly won’t be seeing these in any stores, ever. However, for those still interested, MS took some Xbox 360 Elite systems, slapped some nice glossy black paint on them, tacked on the official GTA IV boxart, and threw the logo onto the faceplate. Also received was a “briefcase full of peripherals,” containing everything from an Xbox Live Vision camera, to an Xbox 360 headset. Below are four pictures taken of the system and peripherals (images taken courtesy of Complex.com):
Before anyone asks, no, TheGTAPlace did not receive any such console.

I use Lennon as an example but this could apply to others, the guy wanted nothing but peace pretty much and was killed. If you were watching us for fun, wouldn't you rather see us fight than all get along? So discrimination, hate, wars, etc. would all make sense if someone was just trying to get a laugh out of us... (Maybe I'm thinking to much into it
). Oh, and I too have been listening to a lot of Beatles/Lennon/McCartney lately, and have been reading a lot about them... Weird... Edit: Another thing, would this "real world" be in peace? If they're so smart they could simulate an entire universe, would they be smart enough to live in peace and not fight? Hmm...
-
Its really crazy when you think about it, what if all these amazing, influential people were all only simulations and were not real. What if John Lennon, etc. were all just simulations? If he was just a simulation, could you imagine what someone of his caliber was/is like in the "real world"?
Really interesting stuff when you think about it.

With only nearly a month to go before we’re all holding our copies of GTA IV, the game has today finally received its rating from the ESRB. GTA IV will be rated “M for Mature” in the United States, for “Partial nudity, strong language, strong sexual content, use of drugs and alcohol, blood, and intense violence.” This obviously means the game is just about compete, and that the chances of a last minute delay are getting smaller! The game should also receive its rating from other groups around the world soon, so stay tuned!

News comes in today of Best Buy handing out exclusive free GTA IV posters with the pre-order of either the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 version of GTA IV. Pre-ordering the special edition of the game (on either console) also makes you eligible for the poster. Its unknown if the deal is also held in-store, or if its just online at Best Buy’s website. The posters feature Niko, in an artwork the majority of us have already seen. But a free poster’s a free poster, right? Click the below links to see the offer details:

The Orange Box, it doesn't matter how popular it is, get it if your PC can handle it.
Yeah, I second that. Also if you don't already have the money, I'd watch CheapAssGamer.com as I've seen the PC version of this game go for $40 before.
-
OGTAM, you can keep arguing, just don't start calling people "Fucking jackasses" and what-not, I know you're just pissed off and you said "If" so you really may not have meant it, but just keep it clean.

God (or Gods) in the religious sense created us as the only group of inhabitants of the only universe. There are perhaps other parts of the universe that we can't access (heaven, hell etc) within this, but there isn't another universe with us running inside of it. The gods have full control over everything we do, although generally they choose to give us free will and only interact occasionally. Sounds like a pretty boring life.
There are so many things ridiculous about this whole concept but here's the best one: If the 'beings' knew that we knew that we were a simulation, wouldn't they alter something because that knowledge on our part could change the 'experiment's' outcome?
Also, please do relay the "5 ways that proves there is a God" so I can lulz a bit.
Well if it was for pure entertainment, wouldn't it be funner if there were a few guys no one believed running around knowing the truth?
-
I wonder if my characters in the Sims wonder if they are in a simulation.
OH SHI-
-
Hmmmm.... I have no idea if I'm controlling my dreams or not...
-
This is really too soon. I mean, we barely know anything about the multiplayer, let alone clan support. If we see a lot of these topics, we'd probably create a sub-forum for them in the future.
But really, its a bit early don't you think?

Kind of old news, I'm surprised a lot of you didn't hear about that. (I never downloaded it, is it good?)
