  • 11 more days till GTA IV

    #1
    Who else is getting excited about this? Im about to wet myself with anticipation here at the moment. From what I have read online some things are really getting me excited.

    Online gameplay with up to 16 players
    · different online game modes - cops and robbers, free for all, gang land protection (like in san andreas with protecting blocks from other gang members) and like 7 other different game modes.

    Its also supporting a slew of new GTA related stuff, apparently when you fail a mission and do it again it is completely different from the first one (as far as conversations with people in your car, the route to take, what happens in said mission) all change, so the AI dynamic is exciting to say the least.

    They have also added individual characteristics to NP characters. They all have their own "lives" and things they do from day to day, like punk kids who just terrorize people and vandalize, to the nice old lady that lives next door to you who goes to church every sunday.

    There is really so much more to discuss but just these few things have got me pumped about this game. I read the entire article in XBOX magazine which covers alot more and it had me frothing at the mouth.

    So who else is getting this? Ive got the limited edition on pre-order at target for $100 right now, so next tuesday im all over it!!!

        Oh how I want to get it ... but all I have is this crappy wii. I have to make a decision on which way to go.

        360 = RRoD but great games + XBL + downloadable content for GTA
        PS3 = Free Online and Blu Ray drive but its a bit spendy

        I am getting mario kart in a few weeks which should be bad ass ... but nothing beats the expansiveness of GTA.

          dude, just get one of the newer xbox's that run the falcon chip... LINKY

          apparently they have no RROD problems because of a new chipset that disperses heat at a lower rate.

            Good to know they finally fixed it.

            I was leaning toward PS3 cause of the blue ray and free online ... but I think i will probably wait a bit longer because I will be broke if I purchase a 360 or PS3. Here is what is likely to happen.

            1. Pick up system + GTA
            2. Take it home, hook up to my standard definition TV, play for about an hour.
            3. Go back to the store - buy a 42" LCD, cables, tv stand ... while I am there pick up a couple controllers and multiplayer games.
            4. Take down my old entertainment center - realize I have no place to put all my cd's, video games, movies and my ancient Sony rack system.
            5. Go shopping again. Pick up new receiver, speakers, cables, speaker wire, and shelving to hold all of my media.
            6. Realize that I just spent $3000 to play GTA ... take it out on digital cops and hookers.

                I too am overly excited to pick this game up! I love these GTA games. I really like the freedom of being able to play the game and the missions, but if you get stumped with them...or bored, you can just drive around, explore, jack cars and shoot stuff.

                I'm thinking I may need to take a vacation day just to have a day to play it!

                      I've hated each installment of Grand Theft Auto, so I'll be waiting until I get some reliable verdicts on this one. The only thing I'll be gettin' is Mario Kart for the Wii, even though I hear the AI is even cheaper than the DS version (which I didn't think possible), but it's still supposed to be great fun. PS3 should be here shortly though, I already got MLB The Show and Ratchet/Clank for that.

                        I know the 360 version has downloadable content (I say the PS3 gets it too once the exclusivity period runs out), but I think I'm going PS3 version. After my 360 has crapped out and been replaced twice, I'm finicky about buying any more games for it that I'll play the hell out of and break it. (Supposedly the last 360 chip was supposed to fix things too but that was problematic too.) So I want to sell it off before it happens once again.

                        Been using the hell out of the PS3 for Bluray and DivX movies and don't play as many games as I used to, so getting GTA4 for PS3 makes more sense in my case.

                          ^ plus with the PS3 you can download and play the best and most addictive game in the world: Pixel Junk Monsters!

                            I'll either get it for my birthday in June or I'll pick it up when I get my free BD movies that I can pawn off along with Spiderman 3.

                              IGN just 10/10 this game, and from everything I heard, it sounds like it is going to be mindblowing. I'll probably pick this one up too. Since I'm no longer in job-search mode, I can actually waste a healthy amount of time on a GTA game. Some of the problems from the past have been patched up it sounds like.

                                I seem to be having this issue with a transparent object placed over top of a solid pantone colour making the pantone colour under it convert to CMYK.

                                If the client in any way indicates that they are still undecided on which designer to higher, or if they're just looking for a quote, don't do any design work. If they want to see "what ideas you...

                                Maybe your questionnaire is too comprehensive or the questions are too much? Try to keep it as simple as possible. Just the most important information....

                                Why don't you create a separate document for the order with details about order / date/ number of proofs and dates, and approval date. And send this document with the proof when needed.

                                I'm with the speak and meet consensus. I don't have a survey. For me meeting/speaking has always been more effective.

                                Hmm. Good point.

                                Yes, I always tell them that I have a questionaire for them and they seem like it never bothers them. It's when they receive it that they seem to just "disappear."...
