This video, when he's driving up until about the :33 mark, not much traffic. Then he smashes the car, get's out and there's a TON of traffic on the street. He jacks another car....and the traffic is gone again. Watch at it pans behind the car at about the :56 mark...where did everybody go?

Wow, that...isnt awesome.

Good eye

Good point.

That is a GTA staple for many years. Its to facilitate gameplay. Its not fun to drive with a ton of traffic so they change it on the fly. when ur wanted level is up and your on foot. Your pretty much ****ed because there will rarely be a car in sight. lol

Did I hit a nerve?

Hmm it is noticeable but after the 1:23 mark more traffic is seen. A good amount of traffic is seen when he's on the motorcycle and at the very end of the vid after the last car he jacked. Nothing to worry about I would think.

Not at all. it seems every PS3 owner believes their system is brick proof which isn't necessarily true. If your PS3 broke down you'd be out of luck. Either way i hope all GTA 4 players systems run as smooth as silk.

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

I wouldn't be out of luck (fortunately) because of the Best Buy replacement plan.

I had one with the 360 too, but after my second RROD, enough was enough. So, I just exchanged it for a 40GB PS3.

GTA IV: The Power Broker
How Rockstar managed to put San Andreas in the rearview mirror and make its most ambitious game to date.

How many people have worked on developing GTA IV?

Benzies: Full time there are 220 people in the Edinburgh office, 50 in NY, 10 in San Diego and 40 in Lincoln. Then there would be at least another 600-700 people who have worked part time on it within and out of Rockstar.

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

Hmm that video isn't so realistic but hey at least I won't be crashing into a million and one cars when i'm driving.

I really really suck at driving in these kinda games.

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

Do the cars look a bit to bouncy to anybody else? The handling overall doesn't look right.

Also, drunk gameplay.

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

LOL! at the drunk gameplay.

As for the cars. The 9 minute video that was up before showed a good variety in different cars. Most of them did seem a bit bouncy but some also had good handling so I dunno
