surrealistic ArtSweet Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 ok guys, since R* already confirmed an internet in LC, let's talk about what kind of feature we want in there here's quote from Playstation Mag Australia GTA IV's unique internet, still relatively misterious at this point, was only briefly touched on, so it's potential and it's implications are unknown."the internet acts as a kind of discovery tool, and an information aggregator for whats happening in the city. it also another great way for Niko to communicate with his connections. he can access his account from any computer in LC that has an internet access." explain an R* spokesperson. new ways? information? news from Niko's life? let's talk about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotYouHaha Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Well, so, where would be the computers located... maybe the trunks of cars, just because I think i heard about selling guns & etc sells at the trunks of cars um... most likely all safehouses? Well anyways would you be able to send e-mails instead of only recieving e-mails like in the other GTA games... I don't know how we'd be able to send... This is a great new feature made by R* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a great new feature made by R* well, they said GTA IV will also have internet cafes, and i think yeah, there will be computers in safehouses. anyways since not many of you guys replied this, i'll just go on, what i want from this is a daily information from liberty city, how somebody was killed by niko in some mission, or better yet, when he walks around and simply kill a guy in freeroam, maybe even some police chase news, you know like some of us wanted maybe we can get some information about organized crime in LC that present time, you know, how has it been, maybe there's a news about Claude being a criminal of the city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_91 Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 It would be nice if you could ahve a laptop so you could access the internet anywhere, but maybe it will be a new way of doing missions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeAtH Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 You could use normal internet with it also so u don't need alt tab the game out , maybe there would be some police sites where are pictures and descriptons of criminals u have to kill or find.

Chris Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I heard Niko uses it to browse TheGTAPlace.com when he's not on a mission. He just loves reading the latest happenings in the world of Grand Theft Auto, and also likes to read what people say about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, I wonder if they'll actually take a few screenshots of this site and put them on GTA IV's internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red_91 Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Well on a more serious note I think that the internet, (using email) will actually mean that its a totally new and innotive way to access missions. And also because YAHOO hosted the 2nd trailer they could be on the internet in GTAIV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surrealistic ArtSweet Posted July 14, 2007 Author Share Posted July 14, 2007 ok, guys, what do you really want? the magazine said that they were expecting something that far exceeds a mere gimmick, so R* must have been working hard for this feature unless they want it to be crappy. it also says that you could also communicate w/ your connections trough the LC internet, so i reckon that we can use email to call people on the internet, maybe do our dirty work.

shaunw Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 it would be good if the people has net on there console or pc they should be able to go on the real net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slyde Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I have a feeling that this feature is VERY limited. You can probably see news of the dead victims you murdered. Use the laptop to bash people. Google porn. lawl that would be fun. Another idea is that you could download a virus and put it on someone's computer. MASS PORN POP-UPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Harry Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 maybe when you are wanted and you aceed to a computer you will be able to hack to the police database and erase all the info on you. and maybe you can order special weapons that you wont get in stores in the ammu nation website i would like to be able to order cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I'd say it will be in Rockstar style, fake clones of famous sites, like Google and such, like they have done in the past with products and items. I can't see them having real life sites and such, could leave open attacks from viruses and such, also limits its use them, they say it will be of use to missions, so why would they have real websites?

Alistair Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Yeah cos that's funny.... Including the internet in the game was no way what I ever expected.....although I've noticed all those people that never believed email would be in the game have gone quiet now..... They say it's going to be massive, I can't picture what they'll actually put in it, of course I'm hoping for porn but that's probably unlikely, maybe a fake ebay, and other places to spend your cash? Like exotics in scarface? (kudos to the guy that originally started the thread on wanting exotics in GTAIV) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockstarrem Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 What I'm wondering is if it will be hosted on Rockstar's server or if it will just be in the game. It will probably just be in the game, but yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
