Right now though, there’s really not much to see in Liberty City except a few screenshots and videos that we’ve already seen before. Rockstar says you’ll be able to visit specific game locations once the site is fully up and running, but we’ll have to wait and see what happens.

The gallery includes eleven new images. In addition to viewing the new images, you can also rate them on a 1-10 scale. The interesting image is one that shows a dartboard in the background leading G4 to speculate that there could be some mini-games such as darts in GTA IV.

“It’s an amazing piece of software, and I’m really excited with its downloadable content and online multiplayer support - again, that’s something that’s unique to 360,” he said.
But Rockstar has confirmed to [Only registered users can see links. ] that “both versions of Grand Theft Auto IV will have an online multiplayer component.” Looks like Mattrick simply meant to imply that DLC was what is unique to 360 – not the online multiplayer.
So, that’s good news for PlayStation 3 owners who are already going to be left out in the dark when that DLC rolls around, but at least they’ll be able to play online.

I’m sure there won’t be. If there was we would have talked about it. With a game like this the guys at Rockstar North will want to spend every minute making the game look great. Most people know the concept of GTA anyway. I don’t know that the demo is worth the time and effort.
Also much of GTA 4 is the driving around and we wouldn’t be able to give out the whole city. We would have to give away half the game for free. People would think Liberty City is a tiny city. You run into problems.

So there most likely won’t be a demo for the game. Not that they really need one to get the word out on this game. They could probably just scrawl the letters “GTA” on a blank disc and probably still sell a million copies.

Im not surprised theres no demo for it

Who needs a GTA demo?
They could always do what they did for Saints Row though, block off the rest of the city, and have summit say rest is unlocked in the retail game. Summit for the future anyway. I never expected a sneak peak demo before hand

They know they dont need to give us a demo, they're going to sell the game in bucket loads without bothering . I want GTA IV now!!!
