Gta Iv

How are peopel finding the GFX?

I played it round a mates last night, and I found the popins really annoying, and graphics quite grainy. (360).
 
On ps3 it does have a grainy effect but i think its there to make the city look its grungy self.

Somethings do need to be patched but so far its pretty enjoyable :D
 
First play of it tonight on my housemates 360, its awesome, i managed a half hour long 4 star bus rampage. Before getting 6 and exploding. Sweet :)

I'm going to get the older ones for pc to tide me over until it comes out on pc, excellent game so far.
 
FYI to all you Europeans, Times Square in GTA IV is pretty fu**ing accurate. It looks almost exactly the same as in RL, and in RL it's freaking awesome. Just multiply the traffic & people in the game by at least 3.

Must be weird for you guys, all these games are spun off America basically, meaning left hand drive / drive on right side of the road. Don't get so into GTA you forget next time your out driving! :rollingla
 
The game is pretty good, played at a friends house the 5 of us, took turns running around/blowing stuff up.

It does look a little grainy, but the gfx are really nice. Gameplay is alot slower than the other GTA's though, and the cars do drive slower aswell.
 
Just as a sideline to the actual game....

People are being arrested all over the place. In the US some guy mace`d an attendant to try`n steal 2 copies, cops sorted him out. In the UK some dood got knifed in the head and neck for a copy, and some1 knived in the head and back over another. (people stood in a queue in the UK actually thought it was a promotional stunt for the game >.<)

They talking in the US about the game being $50/$60 and why it`s such a thing to commit these crimes for - how much is it in the UK, converted to $$ ? Bet it`s £50.

Anywho, RIOTS!

(oh and they`re selling out, restocks coming today all over the place - it`s all madness !!)
 
i got my copy JUST!

i went in a day early and they said they didn't have my copy, cue me in rampage wanting to do above actions to someone/thing. lol

ed up!

i was livid, but also happy :D and now i'm addicted to it :D its amazing

not so impressed that its 720p/1080i/1080p on the box but runs.. 670? or something? wtf is up with that?!?!

so i'm running it in 720p and letting my 2407 scale it :S looks a little better than 1080p from the console to me :S

meh

anyway i had a quick dable online and its fantastic! so smooth considering how bloody MASSIVE it is :D

had a team deathmatch and that was fantastic i love how you spawn pretty close to the action :) very good. however in the part mode.. if you die its a A LONG trip back.

i do however enjoy the black hawk/army chopper thing (annihilator is it?)

much fun :D

are there flyable planes in this one? can't find any yet, also no tanks? army?

i'm sure i spotted an apache after i mistakenly almost crossed the bridge in single player but i could be mistaken...

anyone know if there's an army base? *must steal tank and go on rampage*
 
no tanks

no planes

what version you have? 360/ps3?

if ps3, i need to figure out the online bit, i aint tried yet...
 
pfft no tanks or planes.. ah well love it still, the attack chopper rocks :D

PS3, the online stuff is so easy :D as long as you're logged in on playstation online, just hit the up button to bring up ya fone, hit x, go to multiplayer, hit x, let it connect and then you should be able to figure it out from there :) theres a tutorial in there too i believe.

I'm going to start another thread for PSN names so we can try n get some kind of gang together, i think we'd all do alright :D
