Grand Theft Auto IV

[oska]

Nothing yet. R* have apparently registered some domains that would point to a modern day setting.

According to reports, Rockstar Games has recently registered new website domains that sound like they could belong to GTA 5's in-game Internet (assuming GTA V has an in-game Internet, as GTA IV did). The domains are: CashForDeadDreams.com, SixFigureTemps.com, StopPayingYourMortgage.net, HammersteinFaust.com, and LifeInvader.com. If they were indeed registered for GTA V's in-game Internet, then it suggests that the game is set in relatively modern times, since the World Wide Web only became popular in the mid-1990s. Some have speculated that CashForDeadDreams could be a parody of Cash4Gold (or Cash For Clunkers?), that HammersteinFaust is a parody of Goldman Sachs, and that LifeInvader is a parody of LifeLock, or even possibly Facebook.

Need Vice City in the 80s again

Same here!

The last gta is over 5 years old?

We must be due a new one soon Shirley?

Last GTA came out in 2008?

Been playing GTA 4 a lot recently at home! Anyone else playing through it again?

 

[oska]

I'm going to pick it up again with the bundled dlc and pick up where I left off. I used to quite enjoy mucking about online pissed up late at night just on free roam. Used to have a right laugh mucking about with a load of other randoms at the airport.

If you're on PC apparently you can get EVERY GTA game every for like a £5er off steam?

I didn't really get on with IV. It felt too big.

3 and VC were awesome.

 

[GeordieClioDriver]

Vice city is the best IMO. Nice size map decent weapons and vehicles! and Multiplayer on it was awesome.

It was called MTA and is probably still going! Started off as a homemade multiplayer mod and R* took the idea on board!

 

[oska]

I think VC had the best story and gameplay but I loved San Andreas simply for the stupid array of vehicles you could get. Jetpack, hovercraft, Fighterjet etc. I remember collecting all the different bikes in the garage at the airstrip along with all the good planes in the the hangar.

 

[GeordieClioDriver]

Oh yeah forgot about SA! It's good but VC for the music alone!

Ahhh, thought it was a bit long but then I also thought the last one was called IV. What came after that one then?

 

[Saner]

Ballard of Gay Tony & The Lost & The Damned?

 

[Scutch]

The Ballad of Gay Tony is the closest you'll get to Vice City on IV.

Ballard of Gay Tony & The Lost & The Damned?

Oh so gtaIv is the latest then, I don't count the expansion packs.

I've just realised scutch has pulled up the oldest thread he could on the subject, which ended 2 years before it was released, hence the 2006 thing!

not quite...

although at xmas they had a mental sale and i got that GTA IV complete pack for £6.99 or something daft.

 

[dajones]

LOL. I couldn't find another worthy of the game. I thought there'd be one with 100+ pages, but this was the best I could find.

 

[oska]

Have to say TBOGT is awesome. Really good missions, weapons and vehicles. The automatic shotgun is badass. Good to get base jumping back, cracking new vehicles etc. If they'd based the main game with this it could have been amazing. + Vice City FM, couldn't get much better. Miss the planes though.

The GTA IV Complete Pack did drop back down to £6.74 again in the recent summer sale. I nabbed it then.

D.

So is it easy enough to do then? The rewards look incredible.

yeah dead easy, guide here (watch the video)

i also used this program to edit the cars handling, this program is probably the one you will have most fun with, you can even turn cop cars brakes off with it!

 

[172lover]

4wd futo(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoYRc5Y10IY) (very similar)

Bump bump.

Anyone fancy some gta banter after the football?

FFS. That looks far easier than editing the handling.dat file in notepad!

I've just slammed absolutely everything. Tried looking into 3D modeling programs to add on over fenders, change the wheels etc, but its a bit beyond me and I've just not got the time to teach myself lol

I also added Kaido from Forza, that's a nice little mod. Nothing really handles all that well though...
