Strap in folks. Get your money saved up and prepare to beat down some hookers. Rockstar has unveiled the official release date for GTA4.
The game will be available at retailers across the US on April 29th. People have been dying to get their hands on this one, and it won’t be too much longer now.
According to Brotha, the map for GTA IV was revealed in the last trailer. Looks pretty plausible, given the fact we’ve been to Liberty City before. Check out the video and let us know your thoughts.
If you have never heard of IGN’s Direct2Drive feature, this is basically how it works. You pay a fee for a game and then it is sent directly to your hard drive. Not that complicated but helpful nonetheless. Rockstar has no made their library of titles ready for download to this exclusice service. The titles are: the entire Grand Theft Auto series, Max Payne, Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne, Manhunt, Midnight Club: Street Racing II and Wild Metal.
To avoid any confusion, the title had to be a PC title. Check this out at IGN if you are interested in picking this up for the holidays.
It’s been confirmed that Grand Theft Auto IV will have an online multiplayer component. Now we find out that you’ll be able to play with 16 people online. According to Gaming Excellence:
We also understand that the game’s multiplayer mode, unseen in the GTA franchise since GTA2 in 1999*, is aiming for at least 16 simultaneous players, with more than just the usual deathmatch mode.
Giddy up. Crackdown took the sandbox games online in a great way, and Saints Row did a decent job as well. I’m sure the leader of the genre will step it up a notch and show everyone how to really do online play.
THQ released six new screens for Saints Row 2 this week. The game certainly looks beautiful, but just how well will it be able to stand up to the juggernaut that is GTA4?
At E3, Game Head got a chance to talk to Jack Tretton about losing GTA4 as a PlayStation exclusive. In the interview, Jack revealed that Rockstar would be developing a new, exclusive franchise for the PS3 after Grand Theft Auto 4. Some are speculating this will be LA Noire, but Jack somewhat shot that down.
I guess we’ll have to wait and see what comes of this new exclusive franchise. I hope it’s not more ping pong.
Ever wonder what the new Bruce Willis flick Live Free or Die Hard would look like created in the GTA world? Well, wonder no longer, because user silkysmoov has taken the time to recreate the trailer in various GTA games. Check it out.
This could be one of the funniest user videos I’ve seen. I’ve watched it over and over already, probably more than the Haloid video.
Basically, what you have here, is the intro to Fresh Prince of Bel Air recreated in GTA San Andreas. Hilarity ensues.
Here are some good and bad news from all things Grand Theft Auto. For GTA IV, there will be some next features as expected from GTA4.net:
Now for the bad news, it seems that there will NOT be a San Andreas Stories coming out for the PSP. Qj.net reports that Houser said that there are no plans for a PSP version of the game. So, while a lot PSP owners will probably still be waiting for a PSP release, it’s unlikely that it will be coming anytime soon. Possible reasons are that the the whole staff is working nonstop on the next gen release or that the sheer volume of the game will not fit on one UMD disk. Either way, this news is disappointment to PSP owners.
Our friends at computerandvideogames.com report that Rockstar is finding some issues with the Xbox360 and trying to finalize its monster title. Apparently, the problem lies in the hard drive exclusivity of the PS3. While almost everyone who has a Xbox360 has a hard drive, everyone who has a PS3 has a hard drive. The caveat here is that the systems, though comparable in graphics with the Blu-ray exception, Rockstar is trying to find ways to configure the game so it is the same on both despite these small but important differences. When asked, Rockstar big wig, Dan Houser replied, “To be honest with you we haven’t solved all those riddles yet.” He also claims that the sky is not falling and the game will show no detriments on the Xbox360, but it seems this problem will arise again.
Coming Soon!
