Um it's in options somewhere display maybe? The aimer or crosshair it should have an option of complex and simple. Complex is what you want. I don't have GTAIV on right now so you'll have to look.

I sent you a message on Live also.

I must say i do miss heli checkpoint, taxi , firefighter and paramedic missions, not only the missions but the perks you got with it.

Fireproof / armour spawns / extra health etc etc.

Ive done all the 30 wanted criminals and soon i will have done the 20 vigilante criminals and as far as i can see you get nothing for it..

Where are the rewards for doing things?

Also i hope once i do all the races it becomes easier to select which one you want to do....

All you get is achievements. That's probably more important than actual, useful stuff....

Ah, ok. Got it. 👍
 
G.T.: Since you're finished with the mainstory mission do you ever want to do some tandem team deathmatches at all? Anyone for that matter but I just know of G.T. that's finished.

Add me on XBL. I'm up for a few games, haven't really played much multiplayer yet.

Edit: Think you're already on my friends list.

Yeah sure... maybe not today as I'm busy, but I definitely will over the weekend if you're available (and my brother isn't on :P).

I'm able to now because my brother bought the 360 version, and I think I'll stick to that now and only use the PS3 version if you guys arrange an online meeting with it.

I personally prefer the 360 version... just. It has a smoother framerate and has a sharper image with less jaggies. But the PS3 has better lighting and better detail on certain things, like the road, espeically when it's wet. But I prefer the extra crispness so the 360 version is better IMO.
 
Guys you can unlock the 1080P on the PS3 version by going settings, custom, then unlocking 1080i and 720p
There you go, once you start game its 1080P
I have a 55 inch and looks bit better with a lot less jaggies :)

By the way you need a +40 inch tv with 1080p HDMI

You have to keep in mind that SA already maxed out a DVD's data capacity, and seeing as they were limited to keeping GTAIV on a DVD rather than Blu-ray, it was obviously going to mean a loss in the amount of gameplay in favor of better physics and graphics.

Granted, they could have made it bigger by releasing the 360 version with multiple discs, but in a non-linear game like GTAIV, pausing the game to swap out discs every few minutes is not likely going to go over well with gamers.

Until the 360 comes out with a Blu-ray drive that supports games, or allow those 360 owners with large enough drives to install games onto their HDD using multiple install discs, developers will have to be forced to either limit the size of their games for multi-platform releases, release different versions for the 360 and the PS3, or just release them for the PS3.

Prior to the release of the 360 developers were already maxing out DVD 's capacity and currently there are already several games for the PS3 that far exceed DVD capacity, so this isn't a future issue, it's happening right now.

I'm guessing Microsoft had hoped their digital distribution model would be up and running by now and that 360 owners would be able to simply download the games that exceed DVD capacity... the problem is even if it were, of the 20+ million 360's out there I suspect the vast majority of them have only a 20GB HDD, and probably a large margin have no HDD at all. Basically MS is in a tough spot right now in terms of future big title releases.

Damn X-Box, ruined it for all of us.

I really agree with this, it's starting to get on my nerves having people call me to go bowling, or eat, or whatever.

I'm grateful they removed the stupid gym and having to eat "features" from San Andreas, but why put something else equally annoying in? Oh well, the rest of the game makes up for it.



I also agree with this. I usually tune it to Liberty Rock Radio or sometimes The Vibe, otherwise it's off. Just like it was in San Andreas, LCS and VCS.

I didn't like eating all the time either, it really got annoying.

That's what I would have guessed.
 
Why for Sony Rockstar could not put in more contents???
Games that come out for PS3, Xbox360 and Wii. Wii is always left out with content, while PS3 and Xbox have the same.. I think PS3 should have more in this particual game becuase of the disc space.

I agree, damn Xbox ruined it all.
 
While you say "damn xbox ruined it all" wasnt the original delay because of the PS3? Come on now no need for the hating just be happy we all finally have and can enjoy the game. Sick of hearing this xbox fault ps3 fault crap.

Exactly. Don't blame Microsoft's Xbox for the lack of content when the PS3 was the one Rockstar was having a tough time making the game for, regardless of its size.
 
Rockstar said that the 360 had made limitations to the game (due to the lack of a given HDD in each console). Whether this reflected in the PS3 version I really don't know. I guess we will find out if they ever make LA Noire which will probably be the same engine but PS3 exclusive..

I was expecting a Photomode...like in San Andreas. It would be great to have this option, since the graphics are just awesome. Too bad...we just have a Cell phone with a camera thats is useless most of the times.
 
I think it would be relatively easy for R* to fix a lot of these things with DLC... but by then I might be nearly done with the game. Who knows.
 
Thats what I was wondering, PS3 owners are complaining about lack of extra content which is because of the X360's HDD but why dont Rockstar do the smart thing and sell some DLC which many people would gladly pay for. It would make them alot of money and shouldn't take too much time.

They will be making DLC, but not until May is over with. Houser said the entire staff is on vacation for the month.

I think that was their motivation to released a buggy game :grumpy:... haul there assess back in from Hawaii because the game needs a proper patch!

Robin
 
It's probable that they won't be allowed to go on holiday until a proper patch is released... So probably what will happen is they'll rush the patch as well.
 
Im not going to pay for DLC in the form of missions. Once i beat every mission on the game i will be doing what ive done in every other GTA game, roaming and killing and just doing whatever i want. But if there are downloads to be paid for such as an extra city or more cars, more guns etc. then i would pay for that. On vice city i had the most fun because i would just ride around doing wall rides on the motorcycles. And if you were at the top of a set of stairs with a handrail or a concrete wall going down one side you could slide the bike down those if done right. Same thing as a sprocket grind on a bike (if anyone rides bikes). Was fun.

But with the new physics i don't even like to ride the bikes on this one. I tend not to wind the bike all the way out because every time i do sure enough i will hit something soon afterwards. The physics are more realistic, but with the bikes it just makes it less fun because you have to be so careful on them now. And one thing i do miss from SA is the parachute! They said they took out bikes, the parachute, and airplanes to make it more realistic. I don't get that, those things arent realistic? Yeah, theres nothing more realistic than the cops chasing you for killing a cop and you run inside your house and goto bed and then they just go away...
 
I'm a little confused regarding the ending.

Well i finished the storyline...but i'm confused. What happens with the U.L. Paper guy? With Michelle? With Mallorie and her son?

BTW i chose to take the deal, how does the game end when you choose revenge?

Kate is killed at the wedding instead of Roman and you kill Jimmy as the final mission with Jacob and Roman

I agree, I used to love riding the NRG's and other motorcycles but now the physics are almost too realistic for the motorcycles to be fun. If I am on a motorcycle I want to go really fast and weave in and out of traffic but too many times while doing this I go headfirst into a car crossing the intersection and I tumble 50 feet down the road (which is pretty funny) I have to be too careful.

I've never ridden a street bike in real life before but dear god those things can't turn for crap!

Oh ok, thanks. But what about after that?

In my choice, Mallorie, Brucie and Kate all call Niko and offer their condolences. Kate also says she's interested in dating again (she dumps you after taking the money) and Mallorie says she's pregnant.
