GTA V and GTA VI Figured Out

GTA V

Sand Andreas San Andreas has So many Cities that begin with a letter V. I know crazy figure but it help in explaining VI.
Las Venturas, Vinewood major cities within San Andreas.

GTA VI

Vice City. I know it goes against previous GTA releases formats, where you start in Liberty City, move to Vice City then move to San Andreas as the final location.

but imagine a cool logo

GTA VI Vice City

I’m starting to think more along the way this looks is what is really going to come out, contrary to my previouse posts about what teh future of gta will be.
I still stand behind a Grand Theft Auto 2011 release date. . There will be a hint of the possibility of a new gta, Around September 2010, but count on the full announcement in April 2011.

Count on engine enhancement using the gtaiv engine, count on graphics tweaks, and useless items stripped out.
Don’t count on a pc release this time. That’s right i make the call, No Grand Theft Auto v for pc. The trolls ruined by being disgruntled consolers and flaming the pc threads upsetting everyone. but what do they care. Right ?

Leave your response leave your theory here
Or you can go to the Grand Theft Auto Clans forums and post there.

GTAIV issues, what works for me.

You would not believe the speed increase I gained from this. The game has no lag issues. I stay at 30 fps min, and never have any stutter, never have any vanishing items.

GTAIV PC MultiPlayer Screen Shots

Thanks to Charming Charlie at GTAFORUMS.COM

Well as the hype mule (I would say train but it really doesn’t feel like a train) starts I came across this from 1up. They have apparently had a bit of a quickie on GTA 4 mp for the PC :-

Nothing earth shatteringly new, obviously mentioned that it has 32 players instead of 16. They also seem to be of the opinion that the mouse and keyboard improves MP (well what a shock eh boys and girls). All in all an interesting read if you are board and want some more information. There is also eight new screenshots there, well I haven’t seen them :-

Will Your Computer Play GTAIV ?

You can benchmark with a fast easy tool from pcpitstop

Here is my pcpitstop benchmark score

Minimum System Requirements
Windows Vista – Service Pack 1 / XP – Service Pack 3
1.8GHz Intel Core2Duo or 2.4GHz AMD Athlon X2 64
1.5 GB of RAM
16 GB free hard drive space
256MB NVIDIA 7900 / 256MB ATI X1900

Recommended System Requirements
Windows Vista – Service Pack 1 / XP – Service Pack 3
2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Quad or 2.1GHz AMD Phenom X3
2 GB of RAM (Windows XP) or 2.5 GB of RAM (Windows Vista)
18 GB Free Hard Drive Space
512MB NVIDIA 8600 / 512MB ATI 3870

looks like I am above low end, almost at high end, except I am on a dual core duo. not a dual core quad.

Although my processor is a higher rating than the quad core, it is still a dual duo.

See I use pc pistop because it is easy small and fast. not a huge detailed benchmarker for my computer I know, but it also isn’t very taxing on my machine. Some benchmark programs can be to much for your pc and break it by over stressing your components. Pcpistop is a light weight low stress test . it’s over in like 2 minutes. I make the score, I look at it, I tweak my machine I benchmark again and see if I got any faster. It’s great, free and easy…

So if you want to see if you are capable of playing the game, bench your machine and post your link to your score.

Myspace Mobster Tricks

Level up fast.

One simple trick, is refresh the hitlist and attack as fast as you can. Get a few bounties under your belt. you will get a few losses though, because there are allot of people on there above your rank.

Have a friend hitlist you, and tell you exactly when. Before that friend lists you, have your “hospital” open and yourself healed. as soon as your buddy says you are listed, hit the heal button repeatedly. Some times it’s buggy so you have to hit refresh repeatedly and heal repeatedly. If it isn’t being buggy, you just sit there and heal yourself until you are out of money. You will lose a few fights, but you will knock out about 50 fights a minute. Much faster than picking them from the fight list. You might even level up two or three levels this way. hold out till you die. Don’t give up. you will see that you might have killed a couple people along the way.

To gain money.

Go to the fight list and fight people lower than you in friends count, attack. If they drop money hit em again.. That is if it’s enough money. If they drop no money, move on. You are not trying to level up. Leveling up is bad. (kinda). When you run out of stamina, save that persons numeric code, and make them the first person you attack when you get more stamina until they are in the hospital. This will upset a few people and they will hitlist you. Good refer back to the “have a friend” . really though it’s much harder this way. They don’t tell you when . It’s usually when you are watching tv or eating or on the pooh. So when you are done, make sure your health is either all the way down in the single digits, or full. if you are in the hospital long enough, most people just move on.

What to do when your buddies post the numeric code.

Highlight and copy that code. Drag your mouse over the number in the “parenthesis” left click and drag from one end to the other till it is highlighted. hold control button and press the letter C. Now click on the link of your buddie’s name when the new page opens, look at the web address, at the end is a numeric code. Highlight that code and press control V that will paste in the code over your buddy’s. Press enter. The new page should open. If it gives you a bad page go to the beginning of that numeric code you just pasted in, if there is a 22 at the beginning , delete the first two digits, but only if they are the numbers 22. If there is no number 22, put one there and press enter. That should fix it. dunno why some people have a 22 and others do not. who cares.

Distribute your power well.

What that title means is:

You have to focus on your head count. If you have  10 people in your mob (yeah low number but easier to play with when I am describing stuff) you have to think of what weapon defends your mob the best and buy ten of it. Next think of what weapon is best to attack with. Buy ten of that one. So now you have 20 weapons for 10 men. Sounds like over kill but really, It’s for the highest defense highest assault. When you are attacked, you will, by default defend with the highest ranking defense material you have. When you attack, the game by default will attack with the weapon of the highest attack stats. I know, you would assume  5/5  by default. WRONG That is why I keep beating you.

Become bait.

Sell all of your weapons ( preferably when your health is way to low to be attacked) and just buy only one type of weapon. Try and get a weapon that has a good defense and good attack. Buy one for each of your mobsters. This will increase your strength. This will increase your defense. You will only show one picture of a weapon in your list, so these freaks will think you have squat for weapons. There now you level up easy while at work minding your own business.

The fill in.

Once you have all of your mobsters accounted for weapon wise, you have to  distribute your power well with all the fill ins. 10 of the car with highest attack, ten of the car with the highest defense. and so on with all other fill ins.

Organize your attacks.

With the use of punches and badges, your clan can get vengeance  evenly and fairly.  If your mob buddies scream about needing help here’s what you do:

You ask your mob buddy if he has a badge. If he does .. good, don’t use yours. Have your buddy who is under attack request an all out assault on the culprit. If his group is organized enough, they will attack him till he is in the hospital. I would like to think you  put him there yourself. As soon as the guy is well rested in his gurney, you tell your buddy to “finish him now!” your mob buddy whips out the badge and punches him till he is dead.

That is a well executed assault that should make a point.

Perfectly executed clan battle.

You being the one who is under attack should be in charge of the vengeance attack.  as you get threatened and assaulted, get the numeric code that identifies (Read Earlier Paragraph) and save it in notepad. Now repeat every step in the “Organize Your Attack”, with each person from the Fight starter to every single one of his clowns that follow.  but before you  do that , do a count of your clan members who have badges and how many each of them are holding. Because face it, you will run out, and so will your friends.

If you or anyone in your clan is greedy, your clan is worthless. you have to be there for each other and work on following each others clan.  No one is constant leader, you all lead your attacks one at a time.

Good luck have fun.

Grand Theft Auto IV Cheat Codes

If you need cheat codes for GTA IV, here you go.

Be aware that entering cheats may prevent you from getting achievements or from getting 100% completion. DO NOT SAVE YOUR GAME after using these cheats.

From GTAPLANET these guys are always right on it

There is a little more on IGN

Will Your Computer Handle GTA IV?

The current estimated specs for optimal running Grand Theft Auto IV Is 2 gigs ddr ram,7200 nvidia with 128 megs ram, 3 gig processor/cpu . Direct x 9, but ten will give you more,so you might want a dx10 video card. All resource hogging junk in vista turned off. Basically you are better off with XP and heading to black viper’s site and use his method of turning off themes and everything else you do not use when you are a gamer. 800mhz fsb . Broadband internet.

Be sure and run the best cooling on your machine. Pretty much all of what is out now, is going to get hot as hell when you are playing the game (GTA IV) on your computer.

The water detail is amazing, with trash floating in the water, not on the water, but really swirls around in the water as you walk or drive in it.

There is no official announcement of grand theft auto IV being out for pc gamers as of yet, but there is no opposing info. So let’s not completely rule this out. So yeah, I have hope.

I have a spot where you can vote for a pc version at iworkwithtech.com/gtaiv It’s better than a stupid petition.
