    Arrrgh ! Thought for a split second GTA IV was out when i saw a Grand Theft Auto thread on the main page !

    If theres a sales drop it normally goes in the sales drop area.

    Damn thought GTA IV was out for a second !

    Can anyone tell me why in-game graphic on iPhone 5 is same as on iPhone 4? There's no traffic light, no shadow, no car break light. It's very strange. On iPhone 4S you can clearly can see all that effects, but not on iPhone 5.

    Has anyone tried to play the game on iPhone 5 (iOS 6.0.2, 32GB with lots of free space)? It crashes constantly just after the Rockstar logo when you start the game. Restarting, reinstalling, clearing the background – nothing helps.

    Can't do it anymore on iOS 6 without a jailbreak.

    Yep. Apple locked it up now so that app files, besides the save, can't be modified. Trust me, I've tried.

    Makes it more tempting to jailbreak, but honestly I'm waiting for iOS 7. There's supposed to be major UI changes there. The only really functionality I use/want from a JB is this screen splitter which I forgot the name of. You could actually have windows and run multiple apps at once. I remember running IB 2 and MC3 on my iPad 3 at the same time...actually ran without crashing.

    Well, dang. I never even got to try GTA3 modding. I'll probably never jailbreak, though.

    Modding GTA was nothing short of awesome. Without beating my own drum too much, I out together a great little mod pack, complete with my own custom handling, updated car models/higher poly/different look, improved particle effects, more blood, newspapers/tire skid marks on the road, glossy lighting on the cars, more smoke when drifting, etc. It was a lot of fun, the main reason I originally created a TA account.

    I haven't played any GTA games, but I have to applaud an update like that. Very considerate of Rockstar.

    They also added support for retina iPads! You do need to adjust the controls after the update, but the game definitely looks a lot better.

    Wow!! I am shocked they updated it.
     
  20. I freakin love Rockstar, and it's really refreshing to see that they still support their games. I gotta redownload this someday, but I don't want to get rid of Heroes and Castles.
