The official GTA IV website has now fully launched and features new screenshots and videos of the game. It takes the style of a tourist guide and also includes a map of Liberty City.

I have uploaded all 25 new screenshots to the website, you can view them all in our screenshot gallery.

Yeah it's still doing that when I use Firefox. Try using a shittier browser such as IE7, unfortunately I just had to use it to get all the screens saved.

It worked perfectly for me before, but now I'm getting the same problem. I don't want to resort to IE7. The new site looks awesome.

^ Thanks for the vids! I wonder if you can actually pee. There was something like the SteinWay Beer Garden in LCS, except it was an old English theme. You hear about it on one of the radio stations.

Some of the pics don't work for me, as others have said, it just says 'undefined', but I'm sure that'll get fixed over the next few days so I'm not fussed. :)

@ Charger, excellent vids, thanks for uploading. :D

Brilliant website update! So much new information on the characters as well! I'll try and see what we can do with all the videos as they must be posted on here and available for download as well.

My favorite of the videos has got to be the Roman Bellic one!

Well it seems like Rockstar Games is already hinting at a returning, most likely re-modeled, Vice City. Higherbeing25 is not only from Vice City, but he mentions the 80s, but I'm not totally sure if that has any real significants.

I haven't looked through everything yet, but I thought I should post that.

Even if it's not of any significance it's interesting nonetheless, It'd be cool to see some VC characters cameoing in the game. Personally, I feel that GTA V should be set in a completely new city. As much as I love the ones already used in the current games, something brand new would be awesome.

Well technically it's all brand new...it's just the names and themes of the cities that are the same, which I honestly don't have that much of a problem with. Although, I'd much rather have the story to continue from the GTAIII games, but I'm just one person.

I'm assuming by "GTAV" you mean the second portion of GTAIV...Although the next game could very well be called GTAV. They did it before.

I would rather not have a re-modelled Vice City, I want something totally new not the same cities. I would like a more real american city if you get me such as Dallas or Chicago in the next game, with some foreign cities like London or Tokyo.

London seems like a cool place. Although, a re-modelled VC would be very interesting, I just can't really see it happening.

who ever put the videos up thanks!... is it just me or does everyone just love " vlad" i thought he was halarious..

the scenes where you were drunk and you could see him falling were very realistic.. although in saying that i didnt really think the knocking the person down scene was very realistic i dont remember seeing any damage to the car at all ..

although did anyone see the scene where the pedestrians were crossing the road and you saw someone in their car put their hand out the window and wave their arm.. hopefully its not a cut scene or anything cause if anyone does that to me i'm shooting them in the head lol ahh i cant wait this game just seems soo alive its incredible.. they've really put a lot of effort in the game it was worth the wait!

p.s i never did get the site to work.. only got the screen shots to work . i'm jsut gonna go back on in about a week after my exam and check it out see if its fixed cause theres no way i'm going back to internet explorer tis shit .. firefox all the way!

Did you visit the site in the last few days? If so you've probably still got files from the old site in your cache. Try clearing it or using another browser.

Uhh...I didn't forget... :wacko:

I'm gonna have to see if my theory is still there when I get my hands on GTAIV. Then we'll see if we're going to be revisiting Vice City.

Lol, I went onto that Love-meet.net, and took a quiz since I was bored. I came out as a "Douchebag". :lol:

It's very interactive and fun, I still am searching more of the website.

Also, i can see the 'stagger' emotion being put to work in the scene were Niko and Roman are drunk, lol. :lol:
