The First 10 Minutes: GTA IV
2008-04-29 00:46:00 by Snoopers
Grand Theft Auto IV is finally available around the world, and we are now able to offer you the First 10 minutes of this already legendary game. No mission in the video, only the long introduction cutscene which begins with Niko Bellic arriving in Liberty City by boat, and meeting with quite an energetic cousin. The video has been captured from the Xbox 360 version of the game.
Update: Gameplay video added. No mission, only exploration, driving, an outdoor metro trip and some really nice spots.

It kind of looks like an Xbox 1 game, I was never planing on geting this, but was expecting more.
As for PS3 or 360 im not sure it matters it will look like crap on either system :P
Small unrelated note: I'm waiting to see what's in store for the pc version.

jackdoe, again its wash. And, its a preference for the style relating to each version. PS3: soft look. 360: vibrant,sharper etc. Framerate is the same in both versions, IGN was referring strictly to pop in. And, by the way, people that have the retail version have stated that pop in is reduced compared to the review copy. Oh, I don't know if its been mentioned or not, and the PS3 Version is 630p while the 360 version is true 720p. Besides that, both pretty much look the alike, play alike, and are equal pretty much. Everybody wins, get w/e version and have fun.

Quaz from B3D mentioned the resolution. He was the 1st to find out that COD4/Halo3 had 600p/640p, respectively. And, the Gamespot review came out, and stated both pretty much look identical and pretty much run the same, besides the load time.

@ above
Who realy gives a crap what version is slightly better. Just stop moaning and enjoy the game. Most people will have their OWN opinion and buy it for the console they like most. So if you girls want to go on bitching about this, be my guest, only I am gonna play the game instead of debate it.

Just wondering, now that GTA4 is out, does that mean every other open world game eg Saints Row 2, 50 Cent game, Postal, Prototype , has just been pucked in the Shizack.
Like seriously how are you going to beat GTA 4 in Graphics, Animations, AI, Story, Gunplay, Innovation. It's like every developer that is releasing an open world game anytime soon must be thinking WTF

newbielives - well, it pretty much comes down to that GTA is a series already haveing sold 'ihavenoidea' how many millions copies. Thus, this allows Rockstar spending 4(!) years developing GTAIV. Not many studios can allow that timeframe of development.
But, surely there is room for more freeroamers than just GTA.

Don't get me wrong I want to see more and more open world games, I just meant if you were a developer making open world games, it must be like iron wrench to the ballz to see how far GTA4 just raised the bar.
Mafia2 though maybe the only one to have the steel nuggets to survive the GTA4 thrashing :)

Comparing it to Crackdown is much more fair and even if it's cell shaded GTA IV still looks a ton times more detailed.

They did a great job with the game judging from the vid. The vehicles are more realistic with the handling and the character really reacts to the environment by the way he went down the stairs. Also I like the way some cars are locked and you have to break inside them.

I think the city model looks pretty good, but the character models look terrible.
Anyways it doesn't matter hugely graphics aren't that important to enjoying a game, for those that you who have bought I hope it lives up to your expectations.

I can´t see any difference.
Sınce I have both consoles, I´ll have to make a choice.
I´m going for the PS3 version.
DLC doesn´t interest me because I have never finished a GTA before, so I dont think I will this time.
The one thing I hate about my Xbox 360 ıs that it sounds like a vacume cleaner.
This is the only reason for me to go for the PS3 version.

That version debate is just useless in this case. Rockstar made a really good job for both consoles.
Nevertheless I was very surprised to see the streets of Liberty City so empty. In an older video we could see crowded sidewalks etc. I just didn't have the feeling to be in a city inhabited by millions of people. But maybe only the wrong areas of the town were shown, I don't know.

Got it. Am playing it. Love it.
pff. what a game. Although the missions feel a bit to familiar, it really is amazing to see such a vibrant city alive. It doesn't matter which version is the "best", as long as you can play it :)
