GTA IV : des images, des vidéos, et un patch

Grosse news concernant Grand Theft Auto 4 et son add-on The Lost and Damned. On commence par ce dernier avec une poignées de nouveaux screenshotsaccompagnés de deux courtes vidéos, présentant les personnages de Billy et Malc.

Les nombreuses previews qui ont fleuri sur le Net ces derniers jours nous ont appris pas mal de petites choses sur le jeu, comme par exemple que le fait de rouler en formation donnera un bonus au joueur, qu'il y aura des combats de bras de fer et que de nouvelles armes, notamment un lance-grenades bien pratique pour faire le ménage ou un sawed-off shotgun (arme entrée au Panthéon des flingues les plus cool du jeu vidéo depuis Doom 2), feront leur apparition. Tout ceci débarquera le 17 février.

On passe à la version PC de Grand Theft Auto 4, avec la sortie d'un deuxième patch, corrigeant un foule de choses. Sera-ce suffisant pour rendre le jeu jouable chez tout le monde ? Rien n'est moins sûr, mais a priori ça ne pourra de toute façon pas être pire.
