JackFetch Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 The latest issue of PlayStation Revista Oficial, the Spanish Official PlayStation Magazine, has the first details on the online multiplayer mode of Grand Theft Auto IV. The publication has revealed that there will be 15 multiplayer game types in GTA IV, ranging from co-op to deathmatch. I just translated some of the facts mentioned in the article: 1. Death Match will feature rocket launchers. 2. The host of the match set the rules for each game type. In “Race” and “GTA Race,” the host chooses the vehicles and number of laps. In “Deathmatch” and “Team Death Match,” the host chooses the weapons, the number of pedestrians, the amount of traffic, even if the police will sneak in or not. 3. You can customize your character in multiplayer, from sex and race to hair and clothes. 4. PlayStation Revista Oficial played a death match game where all players had rocket launchers and half the city was blown away. 5. In “Mafiya Work” and “Team Mafiya Work,” each player becomes a Kenny Petrovic's assassin that competes against each other to complete Petrovic's orders (issued via a mobile phone) before the others. 6. In “Race” and “GTA Race,” you can use fire weapons to neutralize your rivals and steal a car in case yours gets busted. 7. In “Cops N Crooks,” you’ll be able to play cops and robbers, but in a wild way. One team plays as criminals on the run while the other team plays as the cops, whose mission is to kill the head of the criminal band. To make things even more interesting, cops can see the location of the criminals on their GPS, so criminals never know where or when police will sneak in. Of all the game types played by PlayStation Revista Oficial, “Cops N Crooks” was the most entertaining one. 8. In “Hangman’s NOOSE,” you’ll play co-op and this game type is similar to the VIP escort game mode in Counter-Strike. 9. The game modes featured are as follows: 1. Deathmatch 2. Team Deathmatch 3. Hangman's NOOSE 4. Mafiya Work 5. Team Mafiya Work 6. Cops N Crooks 7. Race 8. GTA Race 9. Car Jack City 10. Bomb da Base 11. Bomb da Base II 12. Turf War 13. Deal Breaker 14. Free Mode 15. ???? http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/15972/GTA-IV...Player-Support/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Just a reminder that it comes out on Tuesday. Right now it has a perfect score on Metacritic based on reviews from 14 critics. This review made me realize how much better this game looks than I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drqshadow Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Yeah, I'm near-frothing at the mouth levels right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Did Stjepan Sejic illustrate the cover art? The woman on the left and certain other elements remind me of his work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Not unless he's been doing their covers for the past 7 years or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 The layout is the same as the other games, but the art style is vastly different from GTA III and its spin-offs. The only cover that comes close to this one is Vice City Stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Same penciler since GTA3, but they switched to a different colorist somewhere between Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories, not to mention that game cover art is usually one of the last things done for a game, and thus they usually don't spend a lot of money/effort on them. If it was him, they'd be advertising it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 If that's the case, maybe Stjepan digitally colored it. I've put a call into Top Cow and Mr. Sejic himself, so hopefully we'll have an answer soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 The suspense is killing me. If I'm right, you owe me a Big Mo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drqshadow Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 This game is unbelievable. I actually feel bad for hurting some of these people, the city is so lifelike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Maybe it's a setting, but everything is too dark. I can't see where I'm going, especially at night. I'll see if I can figure it out tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see if I can figure it out tonight. Adjust the in-game brightness. Someone on the Oratory had this problem and he said that fixed it right up.
