Grand Theft Auto IV

Re: Let's talk about... Grand Theft Auto 4

Quick question. I see one of the spots you can click on the map is a bar. Is there booze involved in this game? I know in Saints Row it was, but it was kinda lame. Not that it's a big deal, but it would be kind of fun trying to weave in and out of traffic with a drunk character.

Yes, you can drink and drive in GTA IV. The media should have a field day with this. The HUD will advise you when you're drunk by blurring your vision and the camera will bounce. Also, it will be tougher to drive. Euphoria is used extensively for this part of the game.

I hope the map to get around the city is similar to Saint Row's.

What do you mean?

I hope those are just the "highlight" areas. because that ain't much Saints had way more

They obviously are.

What do you mean?

Probably that you can set waypoints and have it show you the route to get where you want to go.

If that's the case, then yes, you can set waypoints.

Also...

The GPS system deserves some special attention, as it fixes one of the problems with other Grand Theft Auto games—the difficulty in getting around. While most players eventually learned hot to navigate the series’ cities through landmarks and other recognizable features, it took a while to reach that level of familiarity. Now, cars are equipped with GPS units that direct players to their next location via the best legal route. Rockstar says the systems won’t tell players to go the wrong way on one-way streets or cut through parking lots, but they are constantly updated if players miss a turn or make an accidental detour. Better yet, more expensive cars are equipped with voice navigation, calling out when Niko needs to turn and approximate distances, all in a clipped, british voice. Players can place their own waypoints, too, so they can use the feature while dinking around in Liberty City between missions.

First PS3 Hands On GTA IV Preview and Screens from PSM3

The latest issue of UK magazine PSM3 features a massive twelve-page exclusive preview of Grand Theft Auto IV. The preview contains four new screenshots which have never been seen before, and new character illustrations of Little Jacob and Vlad. It also contains a fullsize version of this screenshot, which was only partially revealed to us last year. Thanks to Buubar (from the forums) for the info.

There is also a similar preview with similar media assets in the newest issue of Games Master. Both previews appear to be based on the same demonstration. Go to GTAForums for more information. Here is a short summary of the new info from both previews:

• The preview was based on the PlayStation 3 version of the game. This is the first time (as far as we are aware) that the PS3 version has been previewed by the gaming press.
• The faster you tap X, the faster Niko runs. He doesn't appear to get tired.
• Major collisions on motorbikes cause the helmet to fall off. You can see it fall onto the ground.
• Heavy fire will scar - and permanently destroy - parts of the environment.
• They previewed a mission called "To Live and Die in Alderney," which is the second part of "Truck Hustle." The second mission is called "Jamaican Heat," and acts as a tutorial for the new cover/targeting system. The third mission is called "Jacob's Ladder," and the fourth (and final) mission is called "Harbouring a Grudge." This mission introduces an Irish character called Patrick McReary, who is related to Francis.
• The mobile phone can be used to call the police, the paramedics, and the fire department.
• There are 18 radio stations in GTA IV - one of which is Russian. All of these stations can be accessed via the mobile phone.
• You can take photos with the mobile phone and upload them to the police computer.
• Health is represented by a green semi-circle on the left side of the radar, and a right semi-circle represents armour. You can restore health by resting, by using medical kits, and by eating.
• In taxis, you can ask the driver to change the radio station by pressing D-pad left or right.
• The GTA 4 equivalent of the Lincoln Tunnel is known as the Booth Tunnel.

I heard a rumor Carl Johnson(C.J) will make an appearance. That would be sweet.

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure they've confirmed that no pre-existing characters will make an appearance.

Euphoria looks to be in full effect given how that guy flies off the windshield of the car- the physics are great. It looks just like Meet Joe Black
