Grand Theft Auto IV Hands-On.

Apparently i have to retract those comments i made about the ps3 earlier,..as it seems this problem is happening on both consoles....as for the game bein\' overrated?....i think the original resident evil for the psx received a perfect score and clearly that game had some issues....so while this game most likely will end up as one of the GOTY nominations,..i don\'t think any game deserves a 10...save maybe espn nfl 2k5!!....:thumb:

oh yeah, I caught that.  very sexy ;>

Here\'s R*\'s unofficial response:

Quote "Mike Richards here from R*. Be alert around 12:00 GMT tomorrow for a patch for both the 360 and ps3 versions of GTA IV - we\'ve been working \'round the clock to fix this issue, and seem to have found the problem. For those of you who care, we render the screen in the backbuffer and then flip it onto the front buffer. During those freezes, the code hits a glitch and stops flipping - the reason some of you manage to only have freezes for a few seconds while the sound still runs.

This isn\'t an official announcement, so the patch time is subject to change. It shouldn\'t, but if it does don\'t shoot me!



And I see you guys went through the trouble to create a special GTA IV section on the forums. Very nice.

P.S - Good luck with those last few missions for those of you who get there soon " end quote

can\'t get onto multiplayer, everytime I try, it says the game provider is not available.

Yup same here, plus the 9/10 when i do get a game its either dropped at the loby or just in game with a message saying that one or more players have lost their connection.

Anyone know when the patch is due ?

I managed last night, had a free-for-all but didn\'t actually take part, I took the opportunity to check the second island out. tried to go up the empire states building but couldn\'t find an entrance.

if you\'re up for a game sometime, give me a shout

The original Resident Evil pioneered though in its time in terms of visuals and atmosphere and made the survival horror more known to people

It is not a coincidence that people believe it was resident evil that brought the survival horror to the scene when there were previous attempts by others

Issues were redundant compared to the overall experience it offered back then.

I believe it is impossible to find an actually perfect game. But some games deserve a 10 for what the developers have achieved in a specific time frame I think

edit: Did you try GTA4 btw clips? If yes how do you find it? The previous games also got superb scores but I didnt find them as appealing as what it was suggested by reviews.

Oh i agree completely....resident evil was finally a survival horror game done right and yes for it\'s time the graphics were amazing....it was just kind of funny seein\' that game get 10\'s in every category,..sound/graphics/story..etc.....I still like the very first resident evil...it\'s a great game.....as far gta goes,...i haven\'t played it yet,....i\'m sure it\'s a great game,...and i\'ll probably end up gettin\' it before people start complaining about it, and then rockstar might be forced to take out some content....

But i\'m not a big gta fan....i\'m waitin\' for silent hill, alone in the dark,dead space, res evil 5 and metal gear solid...:thumb:

i love drinking and driving

That was one of the things some parents of some kind of group were complaining about,....i just wanna get the game before they start involving rockstar in some type of ridiculous lawsuit and force them to take out some content( i don\'t think it\'ll happen but it might)....the game already has a mature rating like a movie,....if you don\'t like what\'s in it,..then don\'t buy it for your kids....simple...they shouldn\'t be playin\' this type of  game anyway.

niko pissed = funny.

I tried to cross the road with him when he was pissed to get a taxi and he got hit sideways on by a speeding car and was lauched about 100 metres up the road.

euphoria rocks

my sister is a teacher teaching kids between 11 and 15, and she has been told by the kids she teaches that their parents are taking them to the stores over the weekend to buy them a copy, some are even being taken out of class to get the game.

that\'s the area that needs clamping down on, not the responsible public who are old enough to play and that knows the difference between what\'s right and what\'s not.

If the 11 to 15 year old can handle the game, then parents are doing their job. It\'s the segment of that population that is buying the game for kids who will be influenced by it, either by drinking and driving themselves, or by just generally being an obnoxious little prick. Nobody likes annoying little children. Uncle Sam?

I don\'t know if it deserves a score of 10, but this one of the better games I\'ve played in years.

I wuv this game.

Fuckin\'...


I bought the game, but I don\'t have an HDTV

it seems like this game has a bit too much blur on the graphic.
