It's basically a whole new campaign. It runs alongside the main story with a few connections (so far) in the same city of course. There's also updates to music (I shat bricks when 'Wanted Dead or Alive' came on) and new weapons and cars too.

Have there been any patches since the third week of January one? It would be nice to see the final few missions I had left.


Better now then never I guess.

New patch offers yet another decent performance boost... they've done a good job boosting this game's performance since launch, that's for sure.

Well I'm delighted to see more fixes for X1900 series cards. Looks like I can finally play pool now. The optimizations are a welcome change too. I don't recall seeing anything about AA support for those of you with monster rigs though.

It may be a week or so before I get to try this patch. I have to finish up a couple games I recently installed so I can uninstall them to free up more HDD space.

The only comments I have seen Rockstar make about AA are that it would only be possible in DX10, and they will "look into" releasing a DX10 executable... I wouldn't hold my breath though.

Other games have allowed AA in DX9 with deferred lighting thoigh, like UT3, Bioshock and Conan, so I have no idea why it is completely impossible with GTA4.

Yeah, especially with a team of like 150 developers. Well, at least maybe they'll be able to implement it by the time I build my uber rig at the end of the year. Sometimes I think a 2560x1600 display would be nice for games like this that don't support AA. If they start making affordable e-IPS ones I may consider it.

I'm optimistic... most exclusive arrangement have a time limit, and then the content gets released elsewhere. See the Fallout stuff, and tons more.

That said, MS did pay 50-freaking-million dollars.

I guess 50/50
