GTA IV


Grand Theft Auto IV, one of the most awaited games of the year, it was announced a few weeks and Rockstar revealed a bit of work in progress of the version that comes out to XBox 360. Some journalists had access to "demo tour" to learn of the improvements of the new game.



First, the confirmation about the story: the protagonist is the Russian Niko Bellic, which begins new life as a taxi driver after arriving at the Liberty City as immigrant, at the request of his cousin, Roman. What seemed a dream of a better life soon turns into a raw portrait of reality, because Roman living in poverty as a taxi driver. Apparently, this scenario should transform the daily lives of Niko into something violent, as a foreigner fraught with difficulties in the big city can be a real struggle for survival.





The city will be even Liberty City, based in New York but without some characteristic points as the Staten Island, to avoid polemics with the authorities. Then, the scenario has the district Broker based in Brooklyn, Queens and Dukes, Bohan based in the Bronx, Manhattan and Alderney Algoquin is a version of New Jersey.

The environment is always full of passersby, beggars, rubbish and several others who pass the day-to-day newyorker. One of the novelties on the experience in the virtual city is in fact the team Tuesday invested in "verticalization" of the scenario: you can move into the buildings and rising or falling, even on a pole. Just look around at such points to understand the progress chart on a map in real time, dense and convincing. This feature can also serve to help the player to hide from the police.


The conflict with the police, and media for downloading PS3 or XBox 360, were still under mystery. What is known is that Niko will take a similar step forward from earlier versions, but in a more determined, so that there is "overlevel" of character. The gameplay will also have interesting details, such as having to break a window of car parked before rob it, people call on cellular phone in search of aid and direct helicopters and aircraft. Apparently, GTA IV will have no option for massive multiplayer online game.



The graphics are more convincing, Rockstar decided to take a look more real than the cartoonristic of previous versions, so the details of secondary characters, passersby, the contrast of light and shadow of environments and buildings and movement of everything in the scenario leaves the impression that it is a production of last generation, which could not be carried out in previous consoles.
The audio should be the last to be finalized. What is known is that Rockstar should enhance the noise typical of big city, with many parallel conversations, traffic noise, among other things. The famous radio stations to be present, though not yet disclosed the list of styles and songs.


Grand Theft Auto IV is expected for October, for PS3 and XBox 360.
