re: Grand Theft Auto IV

I recently started playing it again on ps3 trying to beat the single player. I am trying to get it out of the way before Mercenaries 2 comes out.

I enjoy going in the first person view and driving full speed down the sidewalks, but thats just me.

After taking a two month break from GTA, I've decided to finish the rest of single-player. I was nearly at the end when I stopped playing.

"That Special Someone"

Spoiler

My God, the voice acting, emotions and tone when Niko finally meets again with Darko are nothing short of amazing. That scene put me into the game like nothing else I've experienced in a video game. I decided to walk away after sitting there for a while.

re: Grand Theft Auto IV

This may be a stupid question, but could somebody explain what this GTA: DLC is all about?

No one is exactly sure what it's going to be. All they've told us is that exclusive "episodic" content will be released for download on the Xbox 360.

I'm at the point of not caring. I'm guessing it's going to be stupid at this point, but Rockstar has been very quiet about it. The game has been out almost 4 months, and not even a peep about it.

I haven't beaten GTA4 yet even...It's a fun game, but I don't need DLC for it personally....

Not me...I've held on to the game this long BECAUSE of the DLC. I got so enthralled with the story, I can't wait to see what "The Next Episode" has in store for us.

Co-sign, though I still have to beat the last mission and do all of the "extra" stuff.

1UP: PC Preview

Running at a maximum resolution of 2560x1600, the game's PC port offers all sorts of visual enhancements over its console counterparts, from a further draw distance to higher-res textures.

The Games Convention demo featured the mission "Three Leaf Clover," which begins in Meadows Park. Everything in the already great-looking GTA4 looks cleaner and sharper -- character faces are convincing, and the framerate is smoother. Every moment of the drive over the Broker Bridge and through the Times Square-inspired Triangle looks more epic. By the time we reached the mission's bank heist, entering into firefights in the streets and running from a helicopter in a chase framed by sweeping camera movements, I was convinced this PC upgrade is worthy of everyone's attention. The explosions are especially impressive; they look sharper, brighter, and generally more impressive than before. The demo wasn't without its share of glitches here or there, but Rockstar was quick to point out that it still has three more months to polish the game before its release.

Beyond the visual enhancements, GTA4 also offers an impressive replay mode. The game always records the last 30 seconds of whatever you do, and at any moment you can tap a button on the keyboard to capture a video clip. You're then able to edit together these clips in a montage editor and export your own home videos to Rockstar's Social Club website.

And while Rockstar wasn't able to give many additional details, it yet again teased that the game's multiplayer mode will see some significant improvements. The console versions are limited to 16 players, but the PC version will support more -- though precisely how many more we don't yet know. Rockstar mentioned that GTA4 on PC will also offer improved searching and filtering to find the type of multiplayer games you're most interested in joining.
