GTA Don Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 When I saw the dummy covers at my local EB Games, I was surprised to see how detailed they were. In fact at first I mistook it for being the finished copy, obviously I was wrong as I soon realized. However a lucky GameSpot user has discovered the official back cover for the games box at Curry's (UK gaming store apparently). The back of the cover says: 2What does the American dream mean today? For Niko Bellic fresh off the boat from Europe, it is the hope he can escape his past. For his cousin, Roman, it is the vision that together they can find fortune in Liberty City, gateway to the land of opportunity. As they slip into debt and get dragged into a criminal underworld by a series of shysters, thieves and sociopaths, they discover that the reality is very different from the dream in a city that worships money and status, and is heaven for those who have them and a living nightmare for those who don't." The cover also reveals that the PlayStation 3 version of the game can run at 1080p, which means a HD experience, just like a movie, only playable. (Click the image below to see what were on about here.) Most likely you have seen the back cover already, word goes most UK and American stores have got the final cover out on show. For those elsewhere, this is a little treat. Source: RockstarWatch I'm visiting my local Curry's tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockstarrem Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 That could just be a case for until the game comes out. They do that all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Dbl-Gee Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 also the box might be changed and it says "for display only". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azn Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Yeah, any word on an Xbox 360 cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutu Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Yeah, any word on an Xbox 360 cover? The Xbox 360 cover is probably gonna be just like the PS3, like all the other types of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slashher2 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 This is not the official back cover because it says network up to 16 people, but rockstar said the ps3 will only have 2 player split screen, no online play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that's totally wrong for a start. Both 360 and PS3 have 16 player online content (for some of the modes), get your facts right before posting. As for the back cover, most shops slap on some sort of cover to vaguely resemble what the final product would look like. It is only a display cover, so it isn't real.

MarkD1990 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 (edited) Currys do create they're own boxes untill its released, so that could be a fake, plus theres no confirmation that Six Axis is enabled for GTA IV. So this in my opinion is not the real thing but a good dam find. But I will go to some game shops to see if there is a 360 version like Currys or Game Edited April 14, 2008 by Mark_D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowie235 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I'd say it's either something that the store made (and it's pretty damn good) or it's a teporary thing from R*. I remember seeing temp stuff like this for SA. I doubt it'll be the final, because R* is usually a little more detailed than that on their covers, but you never know... (untill the 29th, that is... ) Currys do create they're own boxes untill its released, so that could be a fake, plus theres no confirmation that Six Axis is enabled for GTA IV. So this in my opinion is not the real thing but a good dam find.But I will go to some game shops to see if there is a 360 version like Currys or Game The use of SIXAXIS has been confirmed by one of the random R* guys. I can't remember which one, but whoever it was said something like, "The sixaxis function will be used in a way that makes sense." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris82 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 This is not the official back cover because it says network up to 16 people, but rockstar said the ps3 will only have 2 player split screen, no online play. The hell? Stop spreading misinformation please, there are very few differences between the versions. The only MAJOR difference in the core game is the absence of achievements on the PS3 version.

chris82 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Really? I've never seen that as news, but that's a good thing if it's true. But yes, in core gameplay/graphics there is little difference as the hardware is pretty comparable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deji Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 1. Curry's a homeware store!! selling appliances and maybe a few games. 2. The cover says it's for display purposes only! 3. However, i think it's real. But wasn't the cover shown ages ago!? 4. That same cover is in Game (Uk's gaming store!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NORMANKOOL Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 (edited) yep, these cases are popping up at lots of game shops in the uk, i went into CHIPS today and saw a similar but different cover: on another note, if you look at page 14 of CHIPS latest magazine, the caption for the screenshot at the bottom of the page is 'Watch out for the copper choppers!' but the 2 helicopters are obviousley 2 different ones, one most likely a news helicopter covering the chase and the other an army/police helicopter! Even I spotted that one! Edited April 15, 2008 by NORMANKOOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nik B21 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I read some official article which stated that GTA IV was doing 720P not 1080P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
