The OAO Grand Theft Auto IV Thread

Well pleasingly I should be able to get it on the Monday instead of waiting for the Tuesday.

Happiness

[King Ellis]

I'm reporting you to the authorities!

[LL!]

Do it! Make sure they give him a verbal lashing!

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Nah, we'll probably only get it delivered last thing in the day ready for our midnight launch on Tuesday morning so I'll probably have to wait until Tuesday like everyone else as there's NO WAY I'm going back into work at midnight to buy the game only to go home and go to bed ready for work anyway.

Rockstar just released new screens showcasing the HUD and the new wanted system. Remember that the green half circle around the radar is your health and the blue is your armor.

WKTT - We Know The Truth (right wing talk radio

So I know what stations I'm listening to.

[JStarr]

If there's a just and benevolent God, Fernando will be back on the radio on one of those stations. In the meantime, yeah, lots of Lazlow.

And a disco station? Very different, and could quite easily be noise pollution. But we'll see.

[apsham]

I usually only listen to the talk stations, and since there's three of them.. fuck yes! However, it just depends on what kind of music they have for the game. I'd like to see a list on that.

I really can't wait.

[Baddar]

I read something on here a month or so ago about GTA getting it's own part of EWB because of the interest in it made the boards go down when it was in one thread before for SA...or something along those lines.

So, will GTA have it's own section on EWB, or remain in this thread. I'm intrigued.

I'm not 100%, because it was before I was here, but I think there were so many topics about SA that they made the Coin Op Arcade.

I just hope Lazlow will be as awesome as he was on Chatterbox

Also, anyone....pics of the graphical downgrade for multiplayer please?

[Dan]

A sub-forum in Coin-op maybe?

[King Ellis]

I doubt it'll happen again. That was down to Keith and I doubt Kliq or TGC will be that impulsive to make a new forum. Though I wouldn't mind if it happened again, there's gonna be a ton of discussion and it'll be hard to keep track of this thread.

[Kaney]

It's really down to whether Stoke wants to ask for one or not, since he's running this place now, but personally I can't see it happening. I mean, the Essa thread has what, a thousand pages? GTAIV won't generate even half of that, but I wouldn't be against it, personally.

[Vilge Duin]

I'm not 100%, because it was before I was here, but I think there were so many topics about SA that they made the Coin Op Arcade.

That's precisely what happened.

Just look back at the beginning topics in Coin-Op. Ah, good times.

I don't think it would be that feasibly worth it though. If more than one topic is necessary maybe create a thread for multi player and one for single player stuff?

Considering how many game topics around here balloon out into dozens of pages, I don't see why it can't just stay in one thread.

[Boogey131]

I'm waiting to see what we can expect from the soundtrack, I was hoping for some of the more Indie bands that are out/have been out right now/past few years, which I suppose could fit in with Alt Rock, too many niche stations for my tastes but looking at the Vice City soundtrack beforehand I probabaly wouldn't have felt much about it and that turned out to be my favourite videogame soundtrack.

[LL!]

I think the sub-forum would be a terrific idea. The SA one had tons of great and interesting stuff in it. Besides it's only temporary. What harm would it do?

[therockbox]

Hopefully there will be a sub-forum, at least for the first couple of weeks. Otherwise an official thread would just be filled with pages of "HOLY SHIT, HAVE YOU GUYS DONE THIS YET?" between the odd bit of useful information.

Much like in Bully then (though the right one as the trouble meter).
