cbanksy9 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 (edited) Hey guys I'm just wondering if anyone knows anything about an early launch or release of GTA IV because on thegtaplace.com and gta4.net both have their counters counting down untill 8pm April 28th a day before its schedualed release. If anyone knows if stores are having an early release or a midnight launch any info would be greatlly helpful. Thanks Alot Edited March 31, 2008 by Gerard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris82 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Nothing is confirmed but usually retailers will sell the game at midnight on its release day, although hopefully, like they did with San Andreas, will do so 1 day before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Do_Not_Fear_cause_I'm_here Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I saw this one video in youtube that this guy had a demo of GTA:IV. He only showed the CD but not the gameplay. But, I found a gameplay!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ydm5IedLYSE Whoever made that video is awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkD1990 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Ye, I contacted Game the UK game retailer and Game Station and they said they have no information yet about a mid night launch but hopefully they will do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Well, if it's midnight, I'll probably be getting it, but if it's not, I'll just get it when I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Our countdown (and GTANet's) counts to midnight of April 29th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_91 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Not sure if there will be a midnight release in the UK like. Im not really that fussed since Im getting the game about 2 months after release date. Midnight release has never really appealed to me but I think if they do it in the UK it will only be one game shop like GAME or HMV or VIRGIN MEGASTORE that do it.

fatalgamer Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I heard one of the guys at my local Gamestop say that there would be a midnight release. SOOOooooo.... you guys need to check your local gamestop too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadaver Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 (edited) Maybe I should pitch a tent outside one of the shops on the night before the release.... On a serious note, I think it would be best to ring around a few shops and see if they're selling it a day earlier. On the day before the release of VC back in 2002, I called Currys to see if they were going to have the game in stock the next day - they told me that they had it and were selling it that day....I then got into my land speed record car to get down there!

MarkD1990 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Im going to stand outside my local Game shop hours before it opens to make sure i get it even though I got it preordered. Plus I dont think ppl queue outside shops in my town anyways. but im still gonna get there hours before store opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatalgamer Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 (edited) Maybe I should pitch a tent outside one of the shops on the night before the release.... I dont know if it'll have that big of a line. Good thing I live where I do, I live in Arkansas. 75% of peope who play games did'nt even know there was gonna be a GTA IV. Where I live GTA is'nt really popular, believe it or not. Down here 90% of the people who play it are fuckin stupid inbread morons, who only play GTA so they can run around shooting people and stealing cars for hours and hours on end. The kind who will at a moments notice will just leave the room, leaving the game still playing for hours, causing the system to go into sleep mode. I'm one of the only ones who actually play the game, not just fuck around, just shootin shit. It's kind of a good thing. Means there wont be that many in line for it. Now I dont have to skip school and work to get the game, but I will be tired as fuck, cause I'mma play till 4 am.

I will wait outside the shop before it opens but I doubt I will have your kind of enthusiasm. I too have it preordered, but just in case, right?! If I can't get one there I'll have to sprint to the next shop. Luckily for me I have about seven other shops to choose from should I have no success in one of them.

badgerov Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I heard one of the guys at my local Gamestop say that there would be a midnight release. SOOOooooo.... you guys need to check your local gamestop too. I preordered at GameStop, so thats where I'll be getting the game, but I won't be going out to get it at midnight (unless they have some crazy giveaway), since either 1) I wouldn't be able to wake up for work the next morning, or 2) I won't go to work the next day. Maybe I need to work on a fake cough, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take abunch of laxetives the night before, so I dont gotta go to school.
