Downloadable content!

Ninja — Mon, 12 May 2008 16:38:47 GMT

Anybody know when we will get some? And any idea what it will be?

I heard there maybe a san andreas or vice city extension! Probably a hoax but how good would that be?

Rockstar said the first downloadable content will add at least another 10 hours gameplay!

A patch is needed

Seriously I get pissed when I can play music on my X360 while in game but not on the PS3. Anyone got an idea when we will see this update?

Did you know Lazlow, the radio-host for numerous radio stations in the GTA series is real and has his own talk show? Well he does and it is very funny. Warning: Very mature subject matter. He has a website but it has some cartoon nudity on the front page, which may not be appropriate to post here. Directly download episode 32 here!

Arguing 'Grand Theft Auto IV' With N'Gai

Nice face off, two people with very different opinions of the game.

What do you want in the next GTA?

The Solid Link — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 05:18:51 GMT

Simple enough question. I for one want the same type of gameplay and realism that was in GTA IV. However I would like for them to add certain crazy weapons (chainsaw, meat cleaver, katana) but make it so you cannot save these items, only pick them up randomly and use them. The army should be in the game at six stars, so add a tank/jeep/army helicopter. All of these things are realistic enough to be featured, and of course would add to the fun factor which some people complained about. ...

The Weapon or vehicle you most want back in GTA IV

The Solid Link — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 22:35:02 GMT

Well what would you want back if you could only have one? I would go for the chainsaw.

Comments by random pedestrians!

Ninja — Sun, 18 May 2008 20:24:25 GMT

What's the funniest you have heard? Here's some of mine: 1) walking along minding my own business and this black guy comes running past and bumps into me and shouts 'sorry... I'm just off to dig your grandma up so I can f**k her'! Is that funny or sick? I laughed anyway, lots 2) I was under the tunnels near Brucies missions and a tramp came up to me with open arms and said in a funny black dude's voice, 'mum? ....... is that you in that mans body?', lol 3) After bumping into ...

Your favourite rides?

Ninja — Wed, 21 May 2008 16:48:34 GMT

On the day of release I thought it was the Turismo, but that was only a few hours into the game and still on the first island, and now, I still think it is the Turismo! 2nd has got to be the Sultan RS!

Favourite bike is NRG900, 2nd is the Sanchez

Might start a clan!

Ninja — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 10:58:42 GMT

I used to be the leader of 'Clan V' (hence the V Ninja V XBL gamertag), on gamebattles.com for Gears of War. It started of ok but then kinda fell apart as some members weren't as dedicated as others! Anyway, thinking about starting one up for GTA IV. If I did, would anybody be interested in joining? What could we call it? I would register us on gamebattles.com and we could set up tournaments on here and get other clans involved and I reckon with the 16 players online we could have at least ...

Little things that you've seen happen that are really cool.

SaltinesRR — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 21:34:28 GMT

I'm talking about subtle things, like this...

Once I saw a cop pull a man over in a sedan, he asked him normal question about speed and his ID. Shortly after he told him to exit the vehicle, and he went to check his trunk. Shortly after he said sorry and let the man go, pretty cool.

nice little rebuttal to GTA IV there hehe...

sure it might not be the prettiest of the two... but it sure will be more fun!

San Andreas

Ninja — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 17:13:30 GMT

GTA: San Andreas imo is still the best GTA game. Sure there is no multiplayer but instead of GTA IV I reckon a complete revamp of San Andreas released for the 360/PS3 would have been a ton better. I mean GTA IV is still an amazing game and I'm not bored yet but imagine if they, instead, revamped San Andreas. Newish storyline, multiplayer included, remake of better graphics, extra features, the list could go on! OMG I don't have a copy of that game anymore (it went on Ebay )

My wrecked FBI Buffalo...

Kinger — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 23:25:10 GMT

So I decided to have some fun with codes since I had beaten most of the game. As I looked through the codes and whatnot, I came upon a cool and interesting glitch. This glitch totally wrecked my car to the extreme, the worst I've seen yet. Glitch info provided here : Glitch These pictures are the results of the glitch. Sorry for the bad quality, I only had my phone on hand at the time. The TV actually makes it the worst. Picture 1 Picture 2

Features...cut from the game?

Kinger — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 22:24:41 GMT

What ever happened to storing guns in the trunk and holding onto the backs of trucks? Were these features cut from the final game or something? It disappoints me.

Finally got online... and I think I found the problem...

Kinger — Sat, 31 May 2008 19:41:17 GMT

I have the computer, and cable internet in my room. Well, if I use the cable for my computer, I don't have any TV. So, I went out and bought this type of cable splitter to split the cable to my TV and computer. I'm also using a Linksys router. I think that I've split my internet connection so much through the cable splitter and router that my Xbox isn't getting enough connection and it's causing my yellow ping on Call of Duty and all the disconnecting from GTA. Well. I plugged the Xbox ...

Patch anytime soon? Anyone know?

Kinger — Wed, 21 May 2008 20:29:46 GMT

Does anyone here know of a patch for the multiplayer yet? I heard that the PS3 got a patch for the horrible server issues, not sure if it's true or not though. I really need the patch because I haven't been able to enjoy just about any multiplayer yet.

Camera phone - Possible spoilers for some

Kinger — Sat, 03 May 2008 23:08:05 GMT

When you get the camera phone from Playboy, you can take pictures, but can you view them? I don't know how to view/save them after I've taken them. It's pointless to even have the feature if you can't use it aside from a few missions.

Thanks.

GTA IV cost Rockstar $100 Million to Make..?

Maattt — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 15:14:28 GMT

We already expect Rockstar North to hit it big with Grand Theft Auto 4 (Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3), but it's not a well known fact how much money it cost developing the behemoth of open-world games across three and a half years. Interesting enough, GTA 4 could very well be the most expensive video game to make in history. Leslie Benzies, Rockstar North president and producer of Grand Theft Auto 4, reportedly made a wild guess saying it took around US$ 100 million to build the ...

GTA IV tips and tricks!

Ninja — Sat, 03 May 2008 08:52:34 GMT

Share your tips here: There's easier ways but this is how I get a police car... When you see one in a line of traffic, walk up to the side of another car in the line of traffic and press B, this will punch/push the car. (better with taxi's or cars with guys in it). 9 times out of 10 the guy/cabbie will get out, run away a little so he chases you and hits you, the police will then get out there car and chase them down leaving there car with the doors open for you to take! You can ...

looking at the leaked vids of gameplay i noticed that when youre just walking and you turn you "lean" just like when you run...

now i dont know about you guys, but ive never ever seen anyone do this in real life... a bit sloppy of rockstar games if you ask me... i hope they patch that or something... looks awful...

but the rest of the game looks awsome!

still cant wait!

Lady Liberty

Matt — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 10:22:21 GMT

Wow! I feared the new city might be a bit sterile, somewhat small and a bit of a disappointment. How wrong I was. My fears were allayed when I walked around for a couple of hours and have seen some great areas. I'm a big fan of environments in games and this is the best I've ever seen. From the dark tunnel down by the Algonquin Bridge, to the far shores of Steinway, this city is a master piece. The first section looks impossibly huge, so the rest of the map will be a real treat. Unlike SA, ...

Lets say if you bump into a police car or drive a man over or something like that the Police will actually point there guns at you while you are in your car and tell you to get out. Doing so will result in a peaceful arrest if you do not try to run away or start shooting. If you start shooting at the cops they will take you down. A cool new feature is you can use the cellphone and dial 911 to actually call the cops to your location, or the ambulance and fire department if you seen a man ...

I don't realy know the answer but, It turns out his GTA IV was a copy and he had a flashed 360. He recently purchased an arcade console. What his question is, If he puts his hard-drive on his flashed 360 and plays GTA IV, then puts the hard-drive on his arcade one, Will microsoft be able to find out it's a copy gta iv. His arcade 360 isn't flashed. I won't say his gamertag because there might be some sneaky snitches on here If he gets a good answer he will let me play some more ...

Why the PS3 Version has Install

Maattt — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 14:26:48 GMT

Ive been wondering why the PS3 version of Grand Theft Auto IV has to install before it can be played, so i did a little nosing around and apparently its because some PS3 games have to do this in order for the games to play decently. The drive speed of the Blu-Ray drive is slow because it is a new technology and this is why its much faster on Xbox 360 because of the faster DVD drive.

Some stuff I found about the new Liberty City

Ninja — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 20:09:50 GMT

The setting of every GTA game has been crucial in dictating the tone and the mood of the game experience -- why did you decide to base the game in Liberty City for GTA IV? Aaron Garbut: Liberty City was our first attempt at a fully realized 3D city many years ago, at the time simply making an open world that can be interacted with in so many ways was a challenge. We had a lot to learn and we were making it all up as we went. I think [the original] Liberty City was a great world to play about ...
