Now with added vitamins!
We have just received word from Dan Hsu (editor-in-chief of US video game magazine Electronic Gaming Monthly) that next month’s issue of the magazine will feature an exclusive preview of Grand Theft Auto IV. We are also told that it contains “another really cool, exclusive thing that can’t be mentioned right now.” Hmm, perhaps an exclusive interview or something? (don’t get your hopes
Not so long ago, ragdoll physics kicked the level of gaming’s interactive realism up a notch; gone were the days of obtuse death animations that defied the laws of physics. With GTA IV, Rockstar intends on pushing the level of realism even further. With the powerful Euphoria technology quietly doing its thing behind the scenes, the developers have put a
Rockstar Advanced Game Engine (RAGE) is the game engine currently being used by Rockstar Games to develop upcoming titles Grand Theft Auto IV and Midnight Club: Los Angeles.

Some new details have emerged in the latest issue of US magazine GamePro.

GTAForums member “ya mum” has done just that, but on a larger scale, analyzing every bit of the GamesTM article that we featured a few days back. From article excerpts to image comparisons, “ya mum” has
Some new GTA IV gameplay details have emerged in the latest issue of UK magazine PLAY. It clarifies a lot of the things mentioned in the GamesTM exclusive preview which we told you about on Monday. Here are some of the new points: McReary, the character we learned about in GamesTM, is a corrupt cop. He has “dirt on Niko’s past.” The mission they previewed is
The August issue of GamesTM (a multi-format games magazine based in the UK) contains a world exclusive first look at the new gameplay in Grand Theft Auto IV. Here’s a brief run-down on some of the new stuff mentioned: The demo begins in Grand Theft Auto IV’s equivalent of Times Square: Star Junction. There aren’t many pedestrians present at this time, but this
Another preview to have offered gamers a good introduction into GTA IV was the Official Xbox Magazine in the United States. As you’d expect, no new information, except for one thing that accidentally slipped through to the magazine while getting a demo of the game.
