GTA4, April 29th Options

[Wiryu]

Get excited.





Keep in mind you will have to do missions completely shit faced. When buying, if you happen to have a PS3 and a 360, remember that we can all unite and kill people online with the 360.

Hell yes, I'm there DAY ONE. Roll up on some BUSTAS, AT-style!

Heads up, GTA4 sweepstakes, I just saw this today. Today is the last day to register. All you need to do is register your XBL gamertag.

EDIT: Also some multiplayer shiznit, courtesy of Kotaku.

Here's all the multiplayer...that we know about. Pull out your trusty cellphone and dial up the fun (but keep that party to 16 people, m'kay?). Race
•Players race from one point to another with cars, boats and helicopters
•In Free Race mode, it's a start to finish race. In Canonball Run mode, players must hit checkpoints along the way

GTA Race
• It's Race mode with weapons that spawn along the way. Plus you traverse on foot.
• A tutorial mode is included.

Team Deathmatch
• Two to eight teams battle. As opposing teams are taken out, the winning team takes their cash.

Hangman's NOOSE
• Four players attempt to escort crime boss while avoiding SWAT team attack. Online only.

Team Mafiya Work
• Two to eight teams take separate contracts like stealing cars and escorting wanted men. The team who completes the most contracts in a certain time wins. Teams can also attack other teams.

Team Car Jack City
• Two to eight teams steal marked cars that spawn on the map. Whichever team delivers the most to the chop shop (in the best condition, or containing drug bonuses) wins the most cash and wins the game.

Turf War
• Two teams capture control points (or "bases") in a game very similar to Team Fortress 2. Controlling points equals cash. Cash equals winning.

Cops 'n Crooks
• Two teams only. One team are crooks who need to escort their boss safely. One team are cops who must bust the boss.
• All for One mode works as described above. One for All mode ditches the boss, and the crooks must escape with no respawning.

Co-op Campaign
• Our own Brian Crecente described it only as a "short co-op campaign," not a full co-op game ala Crackdown.

Other Interesting Multiplayer Tidbits:
• Characters can level up, peaking at level 10.
• All games are played on same Liberty City map.
• Liberty City map is fully explorable in all game modes.

lol pc gaming

[Scan_Man]

PC gaming is the best man. Picked up Assassin's Creed, and been having a blast. Yeah you gotta wait for some games, like Mass Effect and Devil May Cry 4. But my PC can produce graphical output superior to Xbox 360 and PS3 and better frame rates. And for the most part it features the same games. And most of those games I can wait to play. Besides I can play MMORPGS and excellent RTS games like Sins of a Solar Empire (which is the most kicks ass RTS ever).


But yeah GTA4 has got me excited. I am going to pick up an xbox 360 mainly for this game and so I can kick you guys asses on Soul Calibur 4. I been trying to avoid getting an Xbox 360 for so long, but those two games are about to do it.

But I do expect it to be announced on PC once the hype is over after release.

Just my 2 cents.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
My Kung-Fu is too strong

No doubt it will come out on PC later, but PC is always getting hand-me-downs from consoles nowadays. A day late and a dollar short.

RTS and MMO are the only genres that are still dominated by PC these days.

Crush can confirm this, I have cheap Sophitia owning skills when it comes to SC games. You won't beat me. ;)

[Scan_Man]

We will see. I am hardcore when it comes to SC. I've dropped well over a grand when SC2 was in the arcades. Bought SC2 import for gamecube with the Hori SC2 edition arcade stick. Then I also bought the US versions for PS2 and Xbox when it came out 4 months later in the US and picked up two PS2 SC2 hori sticks and coverters so I can use them on Xbox too.


I used to play in the dorms at college and at the arcades across the street. One of the dudes at the arcade I used to practice on made it to the final round in the national SC2 tourney back then. So yeah. We will see. I am a little rusty and adjusting to whatever new game mechanics may take some time. Like SC3, had to learn Ivy all over again because they changed her. But I admit I will take a SC2 challenge up over SC3 any day.






Def going to pick this up when I get an Xbox 360 and SC4. I expect a SC4 edition though.



Now about GTA4 and PC gaming. I really don't mind waiting for games with the exception of games like Metal Gear, Zelda, and Mario. But for the GTA games on PC you can download mods and custom maps and stuff if you like. One of the things missing on consoles still. Hopefully the downloadable content for this game will be a step towards that.

[AC9breaker]

Yeah I'm totally going out today and pre-paying my copy of GTA as well as picking up a new mic.
The online modes sound totally sweet. On somewhat on the subject, gonna reserve my copy of the special Edition Soul Claibur 4 game. Tin Metal box, game art book. July 29 baby!

Yeah man, that's really the only reason I do PC gaming if I do any gaming at all anyway lately. I love the freedom of tweaking everything visually, even little things. It's just damn fun.

what the fuck man? sophitia was broken as hell in SC3. with a capital B. i hope some of you guys get the ps3 version so i can pwn you. i personally like Talim,Setsuka(if she is still in the game) and zhalsamel. lizardman is pretty dope too.

[Crushinator]

Nobody is buying it for PS3. Get a 360 and get with the times!

If you want to play online console games, its the way to go.
