The North Remembers
Release Date: April 29, 2008

I'm excited for this game, as it will likely zap all of my free time when it comes out. I've listed many of the new features that I think will be pretty cool.

The good stuff:

-Much bigger Liberty City: "to get from one side of the new and improved Liberty City to the other will take you at least an hour."

-No loading sequences during game play

-The way the player moves is controlled by Euphoria, instead of pre-written animations, enabling character movements to be more realistic

-will be able to perform a variety of new actions such as climbing telephone poles and fire escapes, pushing people who bump into him, calling women for dates,[19] playing darts and bowling

-The use of the mobile phone has been expanded to perform multiple actions: take photos of places, dial 911 and other emergency numbers

-Stealing a parked car can no longer be done simply by opening the door and driving off. Now, it involves Niko approaching the car, breaking the glass, and hotwiring it

-The gunfight system has been reworked to feel natural by using a cover system similar to Gears of War.

-Interpersonal relationships are now dynamic; ignoring cell phone calls or refusing help will change the attitude of specific characters towards Niko

-Pedestrians are much more intelligent

-Multiplayer Mode: 15 modes of play and support up to 16 players, including death matches, racing, Mafia, Cops 'N Crooks

I got the info from Grand Theft Auto IV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I hope the addition of multiplayer doesn't take away from the single-player experience.

Aside from that, I'm fairly certain that I'll love this game. Can't wait. The improvements sound like they'll enhance the gameplay greatly. I can only hope that I'll enjoy it as much as GTA3! Loved that one. :tongue2:

I hated san andreas, but I think that was mainly because of the thugish theme to it. Couldnt understand half of what was said in the game. A guy would come up to me and I couldnt figure out if he was gonna shoot me or not :biggrin:

Vice City was freakin awesome though

So I guess they make it too realistic? Because in real life, if somebody is coming up to possibly kill you, it's highly likely you couldn't make out what he was saying either.

This has potential, but I like BrutusMaximus, am scared they're going to fuck this shit up.

I feel like Cops And Crooks is going to consume most of my GTA IV time... Then when I get tired of that, I'll just play one of the 15 OTHER MULTIPLAYER MODES! If I'm sick of Multiplayer, Story Mode/Free Roam time! I'm SOOO pumped for this game!

Sometimes, just shut up. I take that back. Shut up all the time.
