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

    Comments from sombody regarding the deepthroatgta4 posts.

    I think this stuff is giving us hints at the new gameplay mechanics. I hope so anyway.

    It seems you can't magically outrun the police anymore by grabbing floating badges. One, it is hinted at that the police always knows where you are to a certain extent (this would be to overcome a technical issue, but it becomes justified story-wise). You can't outrun them by hiding behind something or just turning a corner. But more than once he switches his clothes which might be a way to make them lose track of you to some extent.

    When he needs a car in the fourth chapter he actually punches through the window, grabs the keys then throws the lady out (after hesitating a bit). It sounds like cars won't have their doors simply unlocked anymore. Your character will actually perform a logical animation within the context (he can probably still open every car door, but he'll use a tool to unlock them).

    It also sounds like he is going to Russia (saying the pilots at the airport are speaking Russian and he's going wherever they are going). There might be a hint of "credibility" gameplay as well, altho I'm not sure.

    To me this is great news, it seems Rockstar is keeping the gameplay intact to a certain aspect but they justify other aspects that broke down the immersion. Can't wait, hopefully what I guessed above is accurate!

        From the trailer/screenshots,could anybody possibly tell what era the game will be played in.It would have been nice to see NY city skyline and being able to judge whether it's before or after 9/11.

              He sounds like Beta-7. This could just be more viral marketing.

              If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

                so, better than just releasing info months from now. If it unofficially gets out due to viral marketing, it's great and targets who they want. People go around and post his stuff on other boards full of interested people.

                I remember how people were legitimatly getting angry at the Beta-7 stuff, when it was just fun.

                  I'm more hyped now about the game. Leaving it to Flawless to educate the flock with his findings. I got the GTA trilogy. I think I need to start from the beginning myself. Man, too many games and not enough money!!

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

                    I know a few of you in here are thinking that the guy shown and doing the voice over in the teaser is the main character, but what if the guy is only the guy we ultimately end up working for in the game story? I mean, it's not unlike Rockstar to perhaps try to throw all of us off by showing this and having all of us wonder,specualte as to what or who - IMO, I think this could be a creative way they are going about filling us in on the new game. Perhaps showing a different person each trailer? Who knows? Just a thought - But I was thinking, maybe they would allow us to create a character on our own and this guy is merely the dude we end up alligning ourselves with/against in the story within the game. I think perhaps as he stated, he's done quite a bit of stuff where he is from, and thought it would all change - but he tends to allow us to assume things he thought would be different are really not -

                      Trailer was cool; love the super-detailed environments. Didn't see enough on the player models to comment. Would love to see more fleshed out hand-to-hand combat - perhaps w/them using the NaturalMotion technology it's a possibility. Going to be a great Fall, with this and Halo 3 releasing
                      HBO's "The Wire" should rank as one of the top 10 shows EVER on tv - period

                          I'm guessing it will be post-9/11. Chances are, they won't go without a Ground Zero look-alike in this game, and they'll unfortunately probably give some parody to the site name.

                            Im pretty sure this game in not in NY but rather a revamped Liberty City.

                              It is, but it's virtually identical to NYC from what I've seen.
