  1. Okay, a few things I've noticed in the trailer that I don't think have been previously mentioned before....

    I don't know how to do the comment, picture, comment, picture thing etc so I'll just number the points I'm making and after each picture as it appears matches that number.....anyway you know what I mean!

    ....

    1 : CCTV?

    2-6 : Niko checks mirrors whilst driving??

    7-8 : Niko can bust down doors

    9 : At least three different policeman models

    10 : Military helicopters? Or at least a new type!

    11 : Niko can cling onto the back of vehicles

    12-16 : Look at how the car suspension reacts when the car is sprayed with bullets!! (for this effect it's best to save these images and scroll through em using windows picture and fax viewer

  2. It's always annoyed me, when replaying GTA games, that you have to "press ENT to get on bike", "ride here" "this button does this" "you can blah.....(insert forced cutscene you can't escape" especially on missions that you have to play a few times to complete - so, how would you feel if no tutorial existed in GTAIV? If you arrived in New York (obviously the storyline is all still there!) but there are no magical instructions from god telling you what to do and "press this" etc etc, we are just left to our own wits to firgure it out.

  3. Okay, there has been a lot of discussion in the forum about the possibility that Niko will have to carry his weapons, either in bags or in the trunk of his car. Although not confirmed, looking at some of the screenshots I think this is a distinct possibility and so I've started this poll on where you think Niko could store his weapons, and then if you think Niko should have to buy his weapons from the black-market somehow (as he isn't an american citizen and as such can't just go to an ammunation) or have to rob an ammunation....enjoy!

  4. What's the point of this thread? Rockstar have confirmed in multiple previews that there is to be NO countryside in GTAIV, that it's a massive sprawling city with a lot more height than in previous games, end of story.

  5. As long as they're making money I don't see any reason why they would stop the most succesfull game in gaming history (i think). Look how long Elder Scrolls has gone on for, and how better it keeps getting.

    There is still plenty room for improvement in the game - think about it - ALL buildings accessible over a massive land area, people interaction that is highly realistic even like you type something in to talk or use voice recognition and they reply accordingly (intelligent AI), fully destructable buildings - there ain't no stopping it. The ONLY thing that can stop it, is either armageddon, or if the stupid governments keep banning games.

  6. Probably forget it's getting released till a few days later like I did with the trailers :o

    Then splash out on an X360 and the game with my hard earned student loan (I think I'm the only person here actually legally old enough to play this game lol), refrain from "sniffing the packet" because that's just...creepy...then play a couple hours and avoid the multiplayer features because I just plain hate MP!!

  7. Good idea but two points:

    1. Blood stains on clothes should be a problem.

    2. Change the name of the thread ffs

    Although I think there is no way they'll put this into GTAIV, we've seen/heard no news of it from any previews

  8. At the end of the day, if they ban GTAIV in UK but rlease it in the states, we'll all be downloading it illegally in that case (reluctantly, i would actually like to pay rockstar for their efforts), but it doesn't change the fact the people that moan and ban the games are morons that don't understand the simplest concept!

  9. I reckon the "special someone" fucked niko and roman over in their past, and they tried to kill him but he got away with cash/drugs and perhaps info - then fucked roman over again in liberty which is why roman is down and out and needs niko, with the main storyline from liberty being trying to chase down this guy and get what it is that they are after.

  10. They better not ban it - I can't believe they banned Manhunt 2 in the UK (thankgod for the internet). It doesn't make sense because the crimes associated with video games are commited by kids, but the game is (at least in the UK) set at 18, so if kids are getting hold of these games then blame the damn parents/guardians not the game makers!!! But somehow Britney dressing up as a little girl and encouraging pedos is perfectly acceptable?!?! dumb ass judges know jack

  11. Do any of you actually know where New York is?!?! It isn't warm! It isn't carribean or floridian or californian, it's in the bloody cold north! For most times of the year if you jumped in the water you'd soon get hypothermia, there are no islands with palm trees, no actual sharks that would ever attack you - get over it, it isn't vice city - when they make the next GTA location, if it's somewhere warm, then you'll see all these typical beach and tropical features, until then it'd look totally stupid putting those things into Liberty City, it ain't gonna happen!

  12. QuickDeath, thanks!

    Urbanoutlaw, the deal with hot coffee was that it was hidden and so the people that rate the game didn't know it existed - it was kind of like putting a hidden porn cheat into a sesame street game for kids, if you know what I mean, they need to make clear all the content that will exist so they can rate it accordingly, so as long as it isn't hidden as hot coffee was, then it won't be a problem :D

  13. Guys please take it to the war zone - the original post actually made me laugh lol "drugs!!" and the way it was done it paint was piss funny man, lol, well done to the original poster dude.

    But on a more serious note:

    Ridable rides.. might be a good idea, you could go on a ferris wheel to try and avoid the cops (LOL) and just sort of shoot at them as the ride goes round, or try jumping to the police helicopter, hang on, and shoot at the cops from there (like in the trailer!) lol

    But anyway, I would actually like to see genuine illegal drugs in the game:

    Speed:

    Pro - Gives you a massive burst of adrenaline so you react and move quicker

    Con - You suffer a slow down afterwards

    Cocaine:

    Pro - Temporarily gives you a massive boost of HP (you don't feel pain) and don't react to being shot or hit

    Con - Damages your HP after and too much kills you

    Weed:

    Pro - Slows everything down and slightly increases your HP, makes everything look green

    Con - Slightly damages your HP afterwards

    Alcohol:

    Pro - None

    Con - Hard to drive, stumble and fall over, can't talk properly, can get caught by the cops for drunkenness, throw up if too much

    Cigarettes:

    Pro - Look cool

    Con - Slightly damages HP, run slower, harder to do gym

    That's all I can think of, but it'd be a massive addition to the game in my opinion, and a bit more real life

  14. I think the cops will be too difficult to beat this time - get too much attention (somehow I have the feeling we won't be seeing stars or even any indicitation of "heat") and in a similar way to scarface, "You are fu***d", they chase you down and basically kill you, like how it is in real life, you get too much attention and you're dead - I think they'll have a new subroutine so that they'll surround you, shout "you are surrounded, give up now" and there will be an option to surrender, or fight with certain death.

    Wolfman,

    "It would be neat for them to impliment suicide bombers or random snipers"

    I don't see that happening, terrorist attacks are once every few years, and snipers even fewer. Police snipers when the police are after you could be a good idea though.

    "Example: When you have a chainsaw, you can cut off their limbs and such"

    Definetly :D I don't know if the euphoria or whatever it is engine can do that though

    "Not just the same ol' same ol'"

    I think we've already seen that with the picture of a guy with a stanley knife (or box cutter) - I'd like something like criminal origins, where you can rip pipes or planks of wood with nails or bits of bars off the wall or floor and beat the living shit out of people with a nice basey thud :)

    "It might be cool for the cops to read you your rights and as one person said "Fight the cops off and run""

    Or something like in scarface where you have a system to talk your way out of it, within reason of course (like stashing your guns and drugs in a bin somewhere and letting the cops approach you and let you off)

    "I'd like to be able to shoot the birds and use them as weapons

    Example: Grab them my their dead bodies by the necks and hit people with em"

    erm, I don't, that's too far, even for me

    "I'd like to see people swimming, whether in their own private swimming pools or in the ocean"

    I'd like to see naked women swimming, but it's all in a dream world mate ;)

    "More ways to customize your vehicle in the paint shops"

    lol, boy racer style, could make some seriously nasty looking cars lol, I want to mod bikes and trucks too - surely you can add nitrous to a sports bike? :D

    Other than that, welcome to the forums, and nice ideas! (apart from the bird corpse one)
