Grand Theft Auto 4 (GTA 4) Message Board  

Man this game is realistic. The driving physics are just like real life. The suspensions flex and the overall experience is superior to most racing games.

And the damage model is AMAZING! I hit a wood pole in the second mission and theres a pole shaped indentation in the front bumper of the car!

I think I like Russian hip-hop now! The song from one of the trailers was playing on the radio, it's catchy even though I have no clue what they're saying.

The cars have headlights that you can control! You can change from normal to high beam by holding down X for a few seconds.

i'm with you on the russian music. i've listed to some of the stuff that was rumored to be on the soundtrack and it's some pretty good stuff.

thats awesome that you can control the headlights. i think i'm going to miss the crappy driving physics though lol. i liked making 90 degree turns at top speed lol.

You guys are lucky, the game hasnt even been released here yet. Give me a few more hours and I'll be able to drool with you guys

Oh that's still possible, just now don't expect to recover and just keep driving. I tried it already and just flew backwards into a building.

I just did a mission and I accidentally hit a pedestrian, there's blood on the front end of my car! So much detail in this game it's amazing.

And I got in trouble with the cops a couple times also. The new system is a lot harder to escape. The one easier thing is that if you do escape, all your stars go away. So now even with a six star wanted level you can escape by just driving.

Hasn't been released here either. The guy at the store started selling them early. I didn't even expect that. I just went to ask if it was possible to get the game tomorrow without a pre-order and he was like just wait 15 minutes. I was the second one to get the game, it was pure luck. I went to the mall to find a summer job but ended up with the best game of the year.

Oh, and the saving method has been changed. The game saves automatically after each mission and time stays the same. If you go to your safehouse and sleep then it saves and time advances 6 hours like in past games. I think this new system is better.

I can't wait to get it. Best game of 2008 easily.

The Pay'n'Spray was also changed. Now it makes your wanted level zero but only if the police didn't see you go in. And it repairs your car and three hours pass in game. So now they're finally realistic.

Honestly, I think I'm going to miss the old style GTA where it was ridiculously unrealistic but this game seems pretty damn good. I think it'll be a welcome change. I'm still getting used to the physics of walking and driving, they're just so different from what I'm used to.

well ive been playing it and anything over 2 stars its almost impossable to loose them once the choppers come your done.one good thing if you die insted of being arested you can keep your weapons when you leave the hospital.ive done about 20 missions now.and hours of messing around.its a fun yet sometimes frustrating game lol
