Former technical director Rockstar North POBE VERMEY (Obbe Vermeij) spoke about key solutions, difficulties and changes that accompanied the development of Grand Theft Auto IV . By the way, she came out exactly 17 years ago – April 29, 2008.
According to him, in order to make the game of really the “next generation”, the developers abandoned many features of San Andreas . Therefore, in GTA IV There was no:
This made it possible to focus on the depths of the study of one Liberty City and a more mature approach to the design of the missions-now they were adjusted to the plot, and not vice versa, as it was before.
Vermey He also noted the difficulty of working under the PlayStation 3, so the emphasis was on Xbox 360. Rockstar San Diego Developed the Rage engine, replacing the outdated Renderware. This made it possible to implement a multiplayer mode for 32 player – the forerunner GTA Online .
The development was not without difficulties: the initial release date is October 16, 2007, to be in time for the festive season. However, in the summer (in July) a decision was made to transfer – it became clear that the team did not fit within the time. According to Vermais, The decision by the release date of GTA VI will be made according to a similar scenario. He expressed hope for the August report Take-Two.
Podbe He left Rockstar 9 months after the release of the fourth part: the growth of the team and the gloom of the project influenced its decision. "I thought that the series would continue to become darker and more serious. GTA V proven my wrong" – summed up Vermey.

4 part is probably the most https://bouncingball8casino.co.uk/mobile-app/ beloved, on equal foot from 3. Somehow exactly those parts where it takes place in Liberty City, huge, stuffy, cloudy, fussy and gloomy. Over the years, I still re -register these parts much more than others, although I understand why they are disliked, and some even refuse to consider as a whole part of a large franchise (which is especially not clear to me to be honest).
It is a pity that the neighboring state of the Olderni was cut (analogue of New Jersey), and it was funny to notice when I watched the whole soprano clan a year ago, references from this series. The feeling that the whole branch of the plot with the mafia is inspired precisely by this series, here and as local representatives of the mafia are dressed straight to this and their activities with the trade union (even though this is not the opening of the series, but a well -known scheme of those times).
It’s funny that even a year later I find something new and interesting.
For example, in a mission where you need to kill one of the Macriri brothers, you can call Francis and, because of the doubt, Niko will throw a little more money for the murder of Derrek. Hmm, you need to try Derrek to call the next time)))
I still remember how on PS3 in 2008 I launched the game and heard the first song glucose Schwein. And ride around the city under the "blood group" … That was a dream game.
To go out – 17 years ago, this is the old one … When GTA 4 came out with me and her friends were terribly bombing, everything slowed down, I don’t even know the person who would not be buggy at that time, but everyone was playing and burned, and everyone would not care about the brakes, bugs, etc. Such was time, for that time it was a breakthrough
One of those games that needs, at least, in the simplest reprint for current platforms.
Still, the favorite part, somehow, could not be able to fully be imbued.
At one time I bought several editions of the game in a license and they still have activated these codes in Steam. In this regard, handsome. But they suffered with this GFV and a clab -sketch … launched without problems on Cor 2 quad with 4 GB of operation and system 7 – flying there on medium.
I also launched it on PS3, but the prefix was noisy with this game on a terrible.
I really like this seriousness and some drama, the spirit of immigrants from Eastern Europe, survival in the new country, various nuances of linguistic barriers and t.D.
Reading the listing of what had to be abandoned, he involuntarily remembered his main indignation of those years – the game has only two types for each type of weapon. For all my great love and warm memories for this part, I am still shocked by how Rockstar could allow this?! Two pistols for the whole game, ̶k̶a̶r̶l̶ Nico!
P.S.
But I didn’t even think about bicycles. Only after reading the news I realized that there were really no them in the game
P.S.2
Well, naturally, where if not here and now you are given enthusiastic memories. 17 years ago! This is a special indicator for me, because in the year the game I went to school. And those that were born that year are now being finished. I still remember these dances with a tambourine around a PC and tears due to a non-working version. Fortunately, already in the 12th year he was able to enjoy this game. Eh.
The most atmospheric and special part of the series. After the previous parts, it was felt directly with such powerful realism and non
I also had a pirate of 3s like disks in a beautiful cardboard case and with a funny translation through Promt. And all these inhibitory computer of that time Social Clabes broken and other Star Forsa 😬
They tried to "dilute" the same mission to give-ubay like online dating, to make a long plot. I don’t remember other bright missions for myself, except for quote about cabbage and potatoes. For me 4ka straight Dawngraid compared to San Andreas on Mechanics. But probably the grandfathers who found the release was a cultural shock from Nekstgen.
