Sorry for the double, does GTAIV have any wheel support? Specifically G25 and if so what does it allow, i assume you can't use the shifters because the game doesn't allow manual, but does it allow say 900 degrees???

I've looked around and found nothing, aparently SA worked with wheels so I'm hoping IV works on G25.

EDIT: Note: PS3 Version.

Yay, I rented GTA IV last week and loved it so much I kept it 2 days over.:sly:

Now I own it!!!! Good on ya ebgames, knock 30 off the price and little old me can afford it.
 
Anyone know why this game refuses to run in anything higher than 720p even though it supports higher than that? GT5:P and Call of Duty both run in 1080i on my tv. (32 inch sharp)
 
You say 1080i? It only supports lower than 720p, 720p itself and 1080P.

I run it in 1080P just fine.

I think you'll find the answer(s) you are looking for just a few posts above yours (#2105)


To sum it up, neither COD4&5 nor GTAIV are rendered natively in 1080p. Only GT5P is. In addition they are certainly not rendered in 1080i. All current games are rendered natively in progressive format. If you choose to you can set the PS3 to convert the signal to a 1080i, but that is not native.

It's extremely important to understand the difference between rendered and scaled resolution, progressive and interlaced video, and native and supported resolution.

Based on your comments and questions I think you have several of those confused with the other.

Depending on the type of display you have, just because it says it "supports 1080i" doesn't at al mean it can actually display a 1080i signal. If it's a fixed panel display (LCD, DLP, PDP, LCoS, OLED, etc) then it has a fixed pixel panel (native resolution). If it is a 720p/768p panel, then even though it "supports 1080i", all it is doing is taking that signal and downscaling the image to the native resolution of the display. Not only that, but because they all are progressive displays, they also have to deinterlace the 1080i signal. All of this is a quick way to lower the quality of the original 720p source.

So unless you have and analog TV (CRT), or if you don't have a 1080p TV, then you should make every effort to avoid feeding your TV a 1080i signal. I realize this is not always possible, as many HD broadcasts are only available in 1080i, but at least in terms of the two games you mentioned, GTAIV and COD, then by all means you should not be forcing your PS3 to upscale to 1080i or even 1080p.
 
Just a quick question:

Do you think Turf War could be faster to make money than Hangman's NOOSE ?

For example:

We could play on the biggest island 2 teams of 2 players, turf split in half or 1 team of 1 player vs 1 team of 3 players (1player team changing each time) and 1 person team takes over all turfs? (or 3 people team - testing necessary)
 
I doubt it, with two people on Hangmans NOOSE on the hard mode, I can get 2:10's all the time aswell as the 4.5k with it.

I do hangmans with either Turbo Lag or Stavingo, both from GTP with headsets.

Could I join you ?
My best time was 2:04.xxx but with a very good pilot (but servers do not see that result yet) - I'm an average pilot :sly: and very average shooter :indiff:
I also have HS
Please send me an invite on PSN (Lotrzyna) if I could join you for NOOSE - I still have 4,5milion to earn for platinum :)

PS we could test that turf war thing few times - 4 people.... how about that ?

NOOSE takes ~~2:06 plus about 45s for all loadings so~~3min we could test if there is a way to have more than 5000 per every 3min in turf war - I'm just curious and NOOSE gets boring sometimes ;)
 
Im only level 5 at the moment, sure Ill add you late but im not at home now, also to do the turf thing we might get Stavingo, Turbo Lag, JoneseyGT and I on there if we can. Anyone else who visits this forum is welcome too.
 
Speakng of which, how does Turbo Lag go in NOOSE? I haven't played with him.

If anyone else wants to play NOOSE with me hook me up on PSN. Level 7(:D) and a good shooter.

sent you a message on ps3 👍

Yeah, I do it aswell playing with Stavingo. I can do the shooting really well, I cover the jet while you fly.

Yeah, I've found an uber camping spot and now I own even more.

Shout out to Lotrzyna and his friends playing NOOSE. I went from $199K to $40K in a session of about -2 hours.:D
 
I recently started to wonder how are some online results even possible ?
For example - Hangman's NOOSE in 34seconds ? Is this a result of some cheat ? - hmm spawning Annihilator ?

Other example - ~$130,000.00 for Hangman's NOOSE game ?
I think it is only possible by playing on easy running away from cops (with Petrovic) and killing pedestrians - how do you think ? I will do some testing on that :)
But player who has ~$120,000.00 has only been playing for 22minutes...(I hope it is not 22h ?...:) )

That Turf War thing still needs testing too.
 
Im sorry dude, I tried but my connection is so epic fail right now I honestly feel like thowing something, obviously I wont do that but im so damn close to. My dads new router is throwing tantys at my ps3. Every few minutes I get DC'd and it takes 10 minutes of errors to sign back in. Just then I was in the middle of signing out and in (to receive you invite) when my PS3 froze. You know what happened then? I lost a save which I had been working on for months to get 100%, I never backed it up. I have another save but it doesnt support the trophies due to having played before the patch. Now im in an incredibly bad mood and just want my router settings to be fixed which cant be done till my parents get home. In the meanwhile im gonna cool down.

Sorry we couldnt play but seriously, everything is against me today.
 
Anyone into Team Deathmatch here? I only have time to play GTA on weekends but it would be nice to play the occasional game teaming up with a few GTPers.
 
Stavingo
Wow, that must seriously suck. Will you be all good by friday or something?

I hope so, once it gets all working its good, lasted me the rest of the night but when it goes through a hissy session everything = fail.

I dont play it but I can, last night when everything was straight and Turbo Lag or Staving werent on I made a free mode server at the airport. Picked up an M4 or UZI and everyone just started dropping dead in front of me. This is on my server with no auto aim. Headshot here, headshot there...so yeah, I wouldnt be too bad to play TDM with if you want. As far as I'm aware you have added me I believe.
 
my psn id is jamesman22 i am a rank 7 (pretty good player) If anyone wants to add me
 
I'll be back on GTA IV at about 6:30PM EST time, I need to do NOOSE.

EDIT: Scrap that, I'll be on at 8.

Actually, you added me. :p

You should join more when I invite you, as you and TL only respond to about .2% of my invites!

They're usually to busy fighting and blowing each other up to notice anything else.
 
Well, Legendary is doing his high pitched wows while TL is going fap. And I get to spectate :) It's amusing watching them kill each other.

I do not have a high pitched voice. On my end it is not high but its not too deep. Out your end you must be putting out something strange.

Strangely my microphone seems to up the pitch when I set tested the headset so I put it a click down in the pitch settings and that sounds about right.
