MarkD1990 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 (edited) Weather in GTA IV Day and Night will be far more integral part of the game this time around. Although we have a sneaking suspicion that when the Sun is setting you'll probably just stop what you're doing and gawp at it. And while the weather is calm, activities such has down your enemies in a speedboat are well and good. But we've been promised that during storms the surf will rise up and give you some serious problems. And when the clouds burst, you can expect to see its shiny wetness affecting pretty much everything from the stained colour of your clothes to pedestrian Al and the handling of vehilces. The Version they tested The version XBOX Magazine tested was 80% complete. Cars Surface Tension: The streets of L iberty City are no longer simple, flat surfaces, Instead each is peppered with three dimensional detail that has an effect on the vehicles handling physics. You'll be simply amazed at how your car reacts. We were Break and Enter So long as you didn't break into the car while parked, which means you'll have already smashed up window, you'll have to hit the left bumber button (LB) to tell Niko to smash it with the butt of his pistol, thereby allowing him to lean out and shoot. Damaging Information. Notice how the wheel here seems to be acting indepenently of the car? Theres no pic on here, but I will upload it after. Sorry Thats because it is. When we played, we managed to knock wheels off entirely, shoot tyres and even buckle them to the point of rendering the car un-driveable. And quoting a picture: Danger Whatever is in the trunk of that car should probably best be avoided if its glowing like that, unless ETs in there. Fact Niko's surname is Bellic. Which, appropriatley enough is actually a word, meaning 'of or pertaining to war, warlike or martial'. Stick that up your fact pipe. I will scan them later on. and reply or edit this post. Coming Next Month: We check out GTA IV's multiplayer, can it just keep getting better? Edited March 7, 2008 by mark866 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadaver Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 80% complete! Are you serious?! It's supposed to be out by 29th April. How will they fill in 20% before then? I have actually heard that the game is complete - 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkali64 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 80% complete! Are you serious?! It's supposed to be out by 29th April. How will they fill in 20% before then? I have actually heard that the game is complete - 100%. I think this is old. X360 said it was 80%. But that was lke, two months ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkD1990 Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 Ye most probs they tested the older version of the game, not the one that was 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Dbl-Gee Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I dont care how much % is done for Xbox i just hope PS3 does not cause another delay. Notice im not bringing up any fanboyism because im a PS3 gamer and i anyway am almost 100% sure that R* will meet the deadline this time because the PS3 problems seem to be solved.

Swifty Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I know that most of the time the cars are stolen & will probably pick up a few prangs during heated car chases, but it would still be nice to have the option of winding the window down before firing semi automatic weapons from your vehicle?

GTA Don Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 That might be a little too realistic for me. I'm more of a "fuck opening the window, just blast those fools!" kinda guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I shudn't care in those life or death situations, but looking back at the screens, some of those cars just look too pretty to wreck.

Lines i always felt so bad when i was like in 2006 with my 69'er Mustang all pimped out and the as$hole cops were on my a$s and i had to pop out of the window to shoot and every time i heard a loud sound of braking glass and i always drove carefully not to get a single scratch but that sound just killed me and i always got really pissed at that.

DemonDelight Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I hated Driver parallel lines. I mean, who really wants to get caught up in a high speed pursuit for just simply going over a speed limit? if you ask me, thats going too far. I just hope gta IV wont go to that extent of "realism".

Urbanoutlaw Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Driver PL could have used a speed limiter like the one in Mafia. The remaining 20% mentioned could just be a matter of mapping or script editing & for the people who made the game in the first place, that shouldn't be too big of a problem. Today is the 8th (on March) so if they stay on it until the end of the month that still leaves 4 weeks to get the games pressed & distributed by April 29th. As long as they don't run into any setbacks I expect to see GTA4 on April 29th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
