Rockstar have replied to the news of the leaked PAL and NTSC versions of GTA 4:

"It’s difficult. It’s hard to think that so many are willing to download the games and are unwilling to support us with all the efforts we put into it." - Rockstar Games

I urge you to not download any of the pirated versions of GTA 4. Go and buy it. Rockstar worked for 3 and a half years to create this game for your enjoyment...

Remember, if you find any illegal downloads of GTA IV on the internet or have any useful information on the leak that you feel would be helpful, please contact us and we will forward it on to Rockstar Games. We have already received a flood of emails, most of which have been forwarded on.

Rockstar replied to my email, thanking me and telling me to feel free to continue emailing them links. This is an quote from their reply:

"Thanks for the info Adam.  Please feel free to continue to email us any links you find." - Rockstar Games

Another perfect score for Grand Theft Auto 4, this time by PlayStation World magazine (PSW). It awarded the game 10/10, and said that it is "A masterpiece from both a technical and storyline standpoint. You have not and probably never will play another game quite like it again".

"GTA IV is quite possibly the most breathtaking game of the last decade."

New 1UP Interview + 8 New Screenshots

---

1UP has recently put up a new interview relating to the technical aspects of GTA IV. The interview features technical directors Adam Fowler and Sandy Roger along with Natural Motion CEO, Torsteim Reil:

"It's been a great experience, and an unbelievable title to debut euphoria in. I think our joint initial goals were a lot more modest than what we ended up with. Everyone, especially Sam, has been pushing the envelope further and further throughout development. We wanted to give people something they truly hadn't seen before, and we ended up with much more euphoria in the game than originally planned: More behaviors, more characters, more crazy stuff. I think both companies and teams developed an excellent relationship through the development, and we're really proud of what we've achieved together."
