damn, i can't wait to play cops and robbers and kill all of you lowyat members, lol.

rockstar should release the game already before EA buys them out; this is going to be the last good one.

EA = mediocrity (or worse).

We gotta start a name list for those who are going to get it so we can start adding people on our PSN id. Hopefully we'll be the first couple ones to get it since 29th does start earlier for us than for our friends on the other side of the ocean

Well, be thankful we're in Malaysia and not australia, because they'll be paying 120+ AUS for the game, lol.

yeah, i'm thinking of getting the SE, but are any of the stores here stocking it?

They've nearly sold out of the special edition in NZ: http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News-127815.aspx

Bernard hasn't gotten the word back on me about the Special edition yet, (or if he is even carrying it); if that is the case, I'll have to to order online, or just forgo the SE for the regular one. Ah...but the goodies just look too good.

Multiplayer modes:

GAME MODE NO. OF PLAYERS DESCRIPTION

Deathmatch 2-16 Fairly self explanatory. Anything goes, you can use any tactics you like to kill off the competition. Confined to specific areas of Liberty City to keep the action intense.

Team Deathmatch 2-16 (in up to eight teams of two) Same as above, except you're working in teams. It's possible to have up to four people in one car (or helicopter).

GTA Race 1-16 Race through the city on predetermined courses in a variety of different vehicle classes. You can pick up weapons en route and use these against your opponents, and you can also swap vehicles if you find a better one during the race.

Mafiya Work 2-8 Mafiya boss Petrovic has jobs for you, which he'll describe to you over the phone. Each job is like a simplified mission. You might have to pick up recruits for the firm or take out a target, or - PLAY Magazine's favourite - find and then dispose of a dozen severed heads.

Team Mafiya Work 2-16 (in up to eight teams of two) Same as above but this time you are in competition with another mafiya team for the same job. More tactical this time, and more challenging.

Cops N Crooks 4-16 (in two teams) One team plays the crooks, one the cops. One of the players on the crooks' team is [randomly] assigned the boss and the others have to protect him and get him to an escape location on the map, while the cops have to hunt and kill him.

Hangman's NOOSE 2-4 Mafiya boss Petrovic has illegally flown into Francis International Airport, and someone has tipped off NOOSE. You and your team must protect Petrovic and get him to a safe location in Liberty City.

Free Mode 1-16 Go anywhere and do anything! Like single-player, except playing with your friends.

Hah, I can't wait to take the bike down the subway.

Check out the picture, lower-right. Multiplayer madness

Alright, new trailer up!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0fVl0MDCoo...howtopic=322495

SE is 90 USD, the regular one is 60 USD.

So for the extra 30 you get

1. a duffel bag
2. security box
3. art book
4. audio cd

Am I missing something? Isn't this a better deal than the MSGIV SE which just includes a bonus DVD?

Here you go, this is what you get:

Yep, def getting the SE. I have good use for the box & bag.

Money will be going down the drain this month:

1. Call of Duty 4 Expansion Pack
2. Warhawk Expansion Pack
3. Grand Theft Auto IV Special Edition
4. Gran Turismo 5 Prologue

whatever you do, don't buy the australian version, they had to cut some content out to make it PG15+

yeah, i think everyone is waiting on bernard, lol

if worst comes to it we'll just have to order from play-asia.

I don't really think they know exactly when it'll be coming until the week before.

cingu: pls put a spoiler in your post heading...I wish I didn't read that..

anyway, here are some pre-order pics from Russia that some people are getting:









Damn, looks like some collectable. Why don't we ever get stuff like this??

btw, the install mentioned above has been said to be an April's fools joke by Sarcastic gamer, take it with a grain of salt.

its a worldwide release on the 29th, so shouldn't bernard have it on the 29th? i'll be hounding him all week. the SE better come on time!

Check it out -- THE FIRST GTA IV REVIEW:

http://www.cgreviews.com/

" know, you want details, but all I can confirm is split-screen on PS3 only. I was alone, so I didn't actually get to have any matches, but I could tell that the split-screen worked really well. There was a significant decrease in the amount of traffic and pedestrians, but it didn't ruin anything. This is understandable. Rendering two instances of Liberty City is a chore for any machine."
