Hmm, 99/100% on metacritic so far. Is it that good really?
I found San Andreas pretty boring.
Judging from a couple of videos I saw on YouTube of the first two missions, the game seems like a lot of fun.

It took out the unnecessary RPG elements in San Andreas. =D

I might get absorbed into this one like I got absorbed into Vice City =p

I heard the game has the Autosave feature. Is there a way to copy a file for Speedrunning purposes so that you don't have a screwed up segment?

My brother owns a X360 (which is not in my house) and none of us own a PS3.

Speed is the key.
This game managed to convince me to buy a 360. Hopefully I wont regret it.

Hey, we've had topics about games that weren't out at the time.
Verified verifier and hangaround :)
lol guys, chill.. the first portal topic was opened 3 months before the game ever came out.

Oh and yes, I agree. Needless forum spam. Also, I'd probably wait 6 months or so before even starting to plan a speedrun of gta4, as the game seems quite extensive.
I'd say at least give the game a week.
Complete. Global. Saturation.

No, all runs must be single segment.

I try the game tommorow.

All facetious posts aside, auto-save can typically be turned off.

Sounds good then, I wouldn't think anyone would do a 10+ hour single segment run of GTA IV.

I suppose so but that one (Twilight Princess) was under 5 hours single seg (I think, need to look at the time again) because of the Long Jump attack trick and skipping the Temple of Time. GTA IV I don't think there's any insane speed trick like a super long jump lol nor sequence breaking.

getting in a taxi effectively warps you to a destination,
so luck manipulating so a taxi appears after a save could be very useful

Oh yeah, that does makes the game a little bit easier for this game then. Usually you ride/drive to your destination until you might crash into a car by accident.

Isn't Rockstar keeping track of the fastest completion time (storyline and 100%) on their website?  As well as the 1st one to complete the game 100%?

So chances are it's not too early to start speed running it.
A few things:

Autosave saves to a different slot than your regular saves (it has it's own slot that gets saved over every autosave) but you can turn it off.

Towards the beginning of the game (I'm about 6% in right now) you get the ability to call your cousin to send you a cab, if you are having trouble getting a taxi to show up.

I've enjoyed it purely because of the Multiplayer hardly played the one player. I know its early but a little trick for anyone attempting this. For some reason Niko can jump UP whole flights of stairs in a single jump. On his hideout on the second island he can jump up 15 steps in one jump. Maybe this could become a group project? [/sup]

Exactly, they have a real time speedrun competition heh.

This topic shouldn't be deleted, but most of the responses so far about it should. To be fair, that's what you ought to expect if you open a topic up so early. And even though I don't think it's the case with JDHyatt, people can get the impression you're trying to credit whore by making a thread for a popular game like this. Like the people who post "first!"
