Don't know about official clans, but ranks are determined by money picked up in online matches.

So it's individual rankings i'm assuming? Just think a gang(clan) function could be a cool thing for the multiplayer aspect of GTAIV. Big gang(clan) wars and such, you know.
 
If clan rankings aren't in the initial version I have a feeling that R* may implement something later on with download content. I know that IGN and Gamespot are releasing new multiplayer details tomorrow.

This game is going to ruin my life.

I am thinking the same thing. I have never been this excited for a game in my life but this truly has everything all in one game that I have wanted in a sandbox style game. Maybe I should have taken 2 weeks off paid for this instead of just 1 week. hhaha

When I saw the 1st trailer for GTA4 I thought the level of detail would mean that there would be no multiplayer, I never thought it would be feasible to include a 16 multiplater free roam with the pedestrians, police and full traffic.

Rockstar have really paid attention this time around and I can't wait for further information to be released.
 
Blackbird.
Us students can't do that unfortunately. :(

Why not, being a student I thought be going to sleep until 4am.

I'm only going at midnight because I'm on call that night.
 
For the very fact I live with my parents... Otherwise I would be out there.
 
Oh there is free roam, that's sweet. Even if the graphics are toned down, it'll probably just look like the old GTA style. :D
 
looking at those pictures...... GTA 4 looks like it's going to be a ton of fun online :D
 
I think that R* are too far in to delay now. It mentions in the article that R* are at breaking point with there cash flow, Microsoft have paid millions of $'s to get downloadable content. I also understand that Microsoft have a contract with R* to release the game on the 29th April.

It makes no sense to delay now and the acquisition will most likely take place after GTA4 is released, if it happens at all.

Oops I saw those pics yesterday but didnt get a chance to post them over here. I think the graphics look great. The multiplayer graphics wont be as good as the single player but its still looking very very good. You can even see the tire tread on the vehicles. Looks like there could even be 3D reacting water effects and I have only seen a few games on the 360 with that.

That rumor about the date being bumped again wont happen so dont even worry about it. 👍
 
I've not been following the GTAIV online news closely, but am I right in thinking that there's going to be various online events? As in free-for-all violence, team vs. team events, online racing, etc.?

I like the idea of GTPlanet setting up teams for online play, either to play each other or to avoid the general crazy mayhem of Xbox Live by devising teams that can get online and have mucho fun with freeform madness.

But having said that, first things first, we gotta play through the game when it's released, complete the missions, score 100%, setup a record book, and then we can got crazy online.

Oi, that might take awhile with school.
 
School, schmool - I'm unemployed! I lost my job several weeks ago and I've got nothing better to do than sit around on my sofa and play video games for weeks on end!

The sooner GTA:IV gets here the better!
 
I just remember how long SA took i'm wondering if GTAIV will be substantially longer or a little longer or not at all.

I think the game can be completed within 30-35 hours if you strictly play the main missions, but that there over 100+ hours worth of missions & other activities.
 
Sorry, but once i get my GTA sealegs again, i'm going straight to the multiplayer. :lol:
 
Psh Ive put well over that amount of hours into call of duty 4. Haha, jk. 100 hours is amazing for a single player title, not to mention the multiplayer bit.

I can't see me completing this 100% for months. There is an online leaderboard however, the top ten people to complete the game 100% each receive a "key to the city" exclusively from Rockstar.
