Grand Theft Auto IV Hints and Tips

Police Car Hints
If you get into any police car or swat truck (choppers don't work) press L1, and a data bank will come up with wanted people. You can search names and call for police backup. If you do, 3 police cars arrive. Make sure your car is stopped before trying this.



Get Desert Eagle Before You Can Buy It
The gun salesman in Broker has a D.E equipped. You can kill him and take it.



Fly Across The Map
Go to any gas station and make sure you have 2 cars under the roof of the gas pumps. Shoot the cars till both of them are on fire, and then stand back around 10-15 feet or car distance then shoot the nearest gas pump where the cars are nearest (make sure you are near the road). After you blow them up, you will be shot across the entire map... yes I'm aware you die but its funny as hell! 



Advice For Escaping The Cops
If you have four stars or less, find a place with grass or sand. They will follow you in, but the usually cant get back out. Then drive away like nothing happened! 



Free Emergency Vehicle
Remember when roman calls and says he is prank calling cops? Well, so can you. Pull out you phone and dial 911. A voice will come on and ask you, 1 = cops, 2 = ambulance, 
3 = fire engine. Press the call button and wait for the car to come, then while they're looking around, sneak up and take the car. 



Tired Of Typing In Cheats?
Tired of typing in every cheat you want to activate? Well, once you've used a cheat, it is stored in a separate menu on your phone. Simply press up on the D-Pad to open your phone, then go into the menu list & scroll down to the bottom. There should be a menu (second from bottom) entitled "Cheats." It's a list of every cheat you have ever used in the game & to re-activate it, simply select the desired cheat.

Quake for the iPhone plus update to 2.0.1

Cool jailbreak app of the weekend? No doubt about this weekend’s winner - now that Quake4iPhone has appeared on the Cydia installer.

We’d been seeing reports for quite a bit about Quake getting ported to the iPhone - nice to see it made it.

I’ve only tried the game out briefly today, but it plays well so far. There is an Options area (which I found a little difficult to work with), sound and music, and very little lag when playing. Main thing, it’s quite playable - moving around and firing are easy to do.

It doesn’t make use of the accelerometer - but if you’re a Quake fan, this is a good bit of Sunday fun for sure.

Quake4 iPhone is available on Cydia now …

New Motion Plus Wii controller catches out developers

Nintendo may have announced a new enhancement to the Wii controller, but don't expect many titles to take advantage of the new accuracy.
Many in the development community only found out about the Wii MotionPlus yesterday - the same time as the rest of us.

Developers normally expect to get early access to peripherals, so they can quickly create new games to take advantage of the new hardware, but this time Nintendo seems to have kept the details to themselves, leaving at least some games developers wondering if success may be leading to a little arrogance from the Japanese giant.

The Wii MotionPlus improves the accuracy of location tracking in the Wii controller which, while revolutionary, has long been a source of annoyance to developers who quickly discovered the restrictions they would be required to work around.

The Wii knows the location of the controllers thanks to the twin IR receivers in the bar mounted above the TV, but when there's no line of sight - such as when the controller is behind the player, or just pointed the wrong way - then games are dependent on the accelerometer mounted in the top of the controller. This is superbly sensitive, enough to register a heart beat, but that sensitivity means a lot of noise - and it can only register 3Gs of acceleration.

The latter limit can be triggered by the flick of the hand, such as the flick to the right at the start of a forehand swing to the left, leaving the console with notification of a 3G acceleration in each direction and no idea where the controller is, unless it happens to pass in front of the sensor bar.

This can be solved with the addition of a second accelerometer, ideally at the other end of the remote, and that is what the MotionPlus appears to be. With less sensitivity, but no 3G limit, it becomes possible to track the location of the remote with much greater accuracy, as reported by those who've had a chance to play with the sensor.

But failing to inform developers isn't the only change in policy from Kyoto. It has always been the case that games developers were not permitted to require a specific controller for a specific game, even if playing would make little sense without it: Punters who don't want to buy the WiiFit will be able to play surfing games by balancing the usual controller on a hand, however unsatisfying the experience would be. But it seems that MotionPlus will change that, with developers able to demand their users buy the peripheral, or just don't play.

Much of this could be oversight by Nintendo. The company hasn't got back to us yet to let us know either way, but changing the rules without consultation does risk annoying the very developers on which any games console relies.
