'Grand Theft Auto IV' races into videogame record books'
AFP - Wednesday, May 7 08:25 pm
SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) - "Grand Theft Auto: IV" blew away videogame and Hollywood records as its creators reported Wednesday that it raked in an unprecedented 500 million dollars in its opening week.
ifTake-Two Interactive said approximately six million copies of "GTA IV: Liberty City Stories" have sold worldwide, with more than half of those games snatched up within 24 hours of the game hitting store shelves April 29.
"Grand Theft Auto IV's first week performance represents the largest launch in the history of interactive entertainment," said Take-Two chairman Strauss Zelnick.
"We believe these retail sales levels surpass any movie or music launch to date."
"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" took in 196 million dollars in its first week to seize the Hollywood crown for top-grossing film opening, according to Box Office Mojo.
Wedbush Morgan Securities analyst Michael Pachter expects "GTA: IV" to be the second best-selling videogame ever behind its predecessor "GTA: San Andreas," which has sold 23 million copies.
"I'm sure 'GTA: IV' beats Hollywood movie opening weeks," Pachter told AFP.
"But it depends how one looks at it. I'm sure more people saw 'Ironman' than played 'Grand Theft Auto' in the past week but fewer dollars changed hands."
The 'Ironman' film based on the Marvel Comics character opened in theaters Friday.
The "GTA" franchise is the work of Take-Two's Rockstar Games studio and is an epicenter for outrage over violence in videogames because players triumph with acts such as carjacking, thuggery, and killing.
The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) stamped a "Mature" label on "GTA: IV" banning US retailers from selling the game to anyone less than 17 years old.
Take-Two hopes the superstar launch of "GTA: IV" will give it leverage in takeover talks with the world's largest video game maker, Electronic Arts, which is trying to buy the New York City-based firm.
Take-Two rejected a two-billion-dollar offer from EA and delayed talk of negotiation until after the release of "GTA: IV."

it,s been said that xbox 360 inferior block will be getting this
but PS3 are being left out .
why?
xbox can not and will not portray this title to its full potential
r* are not doing themselves any favors.
the best game ever and its going to be a flop
what a waste
wake up r* smell the roses i for one will not be
running out to buy this title if we the PS3 owner are getting less than that
peace of cheap white plastic only good thing i can say about it is that
when you take the in sides out and it makes a good toilet bin for you ladies
if you know what mean? sorry I'm going on a bit.
Sony PlayStation are the ones how sent r* to the top and this is how you repay them
a billion dollars this is how you repay the fan our sweat our blood our hearts
and you stab us in the back where do you get off doing this to us.

Niko Bellic is the main character.
Multi-player will be included, but no details yet. It will not be MMO.
The game has been in development since early 2004.
Variations in the terrain cause the walking animation to change. The physics have also improved and character movements are more realistic.
Liberty City is the only location in the game and it takes place in 2007.
The Xbox 360 version was the version shown to the magazine editors.
There were no planes in the skies of the demo that the magazine editors saw, and it seems that there will not be airplanes in the game. Other forms of air travel should not be ruled out.
The MetLife building now bears the name Getalife, the Statue of Liberty is now the Statue of Happiness, and DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) is called BOABO (Beneath the Offramp of the Algonquin Bridge Overpass).
Dan Houser of Rockstar Games said that New York City "is an environment we felt had never been done to the level we were envisioning it in a video game. From looking at all of the locations, this was the one that really stood out to us, and really had that impact. It has all of these iconic things that you couldn't put into a game before."
Within Grand Theft Auto IV, Rockstar North has recreated four of the five boroughs that make up New York City, as well as a section of New Jersey. In the GTA universe, Brooklyn has been transformed to Broker, Manhattan has mutated into Algonquin, Queens is now Dukes, The Bronx is Bohan, and New Jersey has become Alderney.
It's a smaller geographical mass than San Andreas, but not an inch of this world is wasted or dedicated to vast stretches of country or desert. It's a tightly packed metropolis that captures the eye with its decades of world-class architecture, sun-blocking towers, and extraordinary walks of life.
The city is brought to life with an amazing level of realism. Sunlight glistens beautifully off of glasswork, illuminates the intricate detailing of century old brick, and even reveals just how realistic an ordinary bag of trash can look. As the sun begins to set, the city takes on a whole different appearance. Buildings that were once eye-popping attractions slowly become ominous obelisks. As any New Yorker will tell you, there's a big difference between New York during the day and New York at night. Liberty City will perfectly capture that quality.
Niko Bellic's home is in Eastern Europe, and he likely may never have traveled to Liberty City if it wasn't for his cousin Roman. With life not working out in the homeland, "Bellic turns up in Liberty City because he's been receiving e-mails from his cousin Roman, that read like: 'I live this amazing life, it's the American Dream come true. I have two women. I have four hot tubs. I have fifteen sports cars," Houser elaborates. "And [Bellic] believes it." His bid to flee his past for what he thought would be the greener pastures of America couldn't be any further from the truth. Roman has been lying to him. He isn't rich. He isn't popular. And he's actually in a load of trouble. He lied to his cousin to hide his own failures in life.
Roman, Niko's cousin, is the only person that he knows in America. He serves as one of his main friends, motivations, and connections at the start of the game. Unlike San Andreas, players won't get a chance to see Bellic in his homeland. You will see his life unfold from the moment he steps into Liberty City.
Niko is a "tough character" while Roman is a "friendly buffoon."
The story unfolds in a number of different ways. R* is giving people more freedom, more choice and more sense of control over their destiny - the structure of the storyline is quite different to previous games.
The targeting system details have not been released.

Parachute
What is the point of having all them skyscrapers if you cant
go to the top stick that silk rucksack on and jump off?
The the feeling of doing so was just one great buzz
in San Andreas why would you take this out.

Grand theft auto IV

noreply@blogger.com (capstar) — Sun, 15 Apr 2007 16:19:00 +0000

This is all about grand theft auto IV. My opions and anyone else that wants to leave one. The game is not due out until october but with all the hype and media coverage is the game set to dissapoint even before its release?

On my list of things to talk about is :-
Flying:-
It was in older gta games but it looks to be missing from GTAIV
Graphics:-
The graphics are said to be more realistic but has the gamplay been compromised by this?
Swimming:-
Will this be another feature to be compromised?
Map size:-
Blu ray discs can hold an enormous amount of information so why is GTA IV only the size of liberty city? Even San andreas had three islands.
