guys. no one has commented much on the police.

In all the GTA games, the cops have been so easy to avoid, all they would do is spawn a few cars at each corner and try to ram you off the road. Has it improved any?

if you get mor than a couple of stars its real tough. can be annoying as you just get loads respawning when you try and get near the edge of the search radius.

maybe i'll get better by learning to shake them off with more play - i hope so, can be frustrating.

Is the media from india? Thats supposed to be shit so I hear.

"MIS - Made in Singapore" should be the label your looking for.


dunno.. it's from a spindle and i don't have the wrapping anymore..

but i guess they're the shitty ones from india.. bc i got some printable verbatims with jewel case where it clearly says "Made in Singapore" and they look a whole lot different (plus they're 2,4x not 8x)


also i hear that benq owners are by far more often afflicted with the popping up issue than hitachi or samsung boxes.
any of you guys got a benq and doesn't experience any likewise problems?

and it gets even worse if you speed up and cover a bit of a distance...


yo, ive got a ben-q and its starting to do it so its not you. I did burn the game at 4x speed so it maybe because of that. Im gonna have to reburn at 1x

well... still no luck Crying or Very sad

went to the store today to pickup some Verbatims Made in Singapor (mkm0001). Burned with 1x (clonecd)..


result: Hardly any improvement at all... sometimes the whole road just disappears for a while.. also buildings and shit on the sidewalk. Not even to mention the missing textures of street, buildings, etc ...


unplayable...looks worse than SA this way -.-

I like the way creators went, GTA 4 reminds me old good Mafia. No gangsta-LA shit, just being a mobster's peasant (just like Vlads said ;p)


Yes its nice from what i have played.. but really not liking the way the cars handle.. just dont feel right.. although the one that looks like a slk was a great laugh snaking all the way down the road once i lost control, that made me giggle like a girl!

And i miss running someone over and leaving a bloody skid mark all the way up the road!

A little but it's still easy to get away. Usually a few spawn close by with a few more on the outskirts of a search zone. It's easy to spot a clear route out. Once you exit the search zone and are out of a certain proximity of unaware police cars for a few seconds you're safe again. There are other issues like skipping the toll booths always spawns cops on you instantly.

Is it the U.S Army like in previous GTA when you get 6* or are there just more cops/FBI ??

Also , are you locked in one section when you start the game or can you explore the whole city from the go ?

Can someone post a video of someone getting beat up and the amulance coming? Do they just do some CPR and then the person is healed like in previous GTA's?

Think i read somewhere that you could take helicopter tours?

How do you hang onto cars and climb lightpoles etc.? Any vids?

I got hit by a car and Niko clung to the front of it for several seconds whilst it was still in motion. Not sure if you can cling onto cars or its an automatic thing.


May the NFOrce be with you always.

I think it's automatic, it's the Euphoria engine, developed for The Force Unleashed, it makes characters grab on to stuff etc when they fall and what not. Just try targetting some random person on the streets and push (dont hit/kick) him onto something, a bench or whatever, and the character will behave quite naturally imo.

I wanted to hijack a passing car, Niko tried to open the door but the car suddenly accelerated and he got dragged along a dozen meters before releasing it.

Some deaths are spectacular. Like I was driving some ferrari-like sportscar on a high ramp at top speed and had a head-on collision. naturally Niko flew out thru the windshiled then a few meters forward, off the ramp that happened to be a few dozen meters above water. Now that was one long and spectacular fall Smile

Now I try to find out what's the damage limit for falling in a car. Sometimes it's very practical to jump in a car off a ramp if you want to make a 'shortcut'. You climb out if its turned over on its roof and get another one.

Lol at scripted conversations. I'm driving Michelle home on the first date and we have a head-on collsion. For some reason the other car catches fire and the driver who flew out of the window is crawling on the road burning. I wait to see what happens. The car blows up, torching some people and other cars. The're about five people yelling for help in flames in front of us but Michelle goes on telling some funny stuff about her life Very Happy

This video gives an awesome glimpse of euphoria in action when Niko jumps out of the car.
