GTA IV Trophy patch now live

by Jem Alexander { Oct 26th 2008 at 10:07PM }

So when Rockstar says "Monday the 27th of October" it seems they actually mean "the evening of Sunday the 26th." The GTA IV Trophy patch is now live and ready to be downloaded worldwide. So if you're not too busy exploring Africa, the Ishimura or Rapture, why not have another go around Liberty City? Keep in mind that you'll have to start a new game as the Trophies are not retroactive. But was anyone really expecting them to be?

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

Kevin PSN: Keviseg15 @ Oct 26th 2008 10:33PM

yeah dude omg far cry 2 is amazing
i have 3 gta4 trophies so far though

Averna @ Oct 26th 2008 11:19PM

Yeah Ive been tearing Far Cry up. Gotta say that Saints Row 2 is great too, basically Saints Row on steroids, plus coop is great.

Emophia @ Oct 27th 2008 4:41AM

Been doing the Saints Row 2 and Farcry 2 combo too, man those games rock.

jarhead906 @ Oct 26th 2008 10:15PM

I prefer LittleBigPlanet...

"trophies are not retroactive. But was anyone really expecting them to be?"

Judging from comments on previous posts about this, a few people did

nakedatthecomp @ Oct 26th 2008 10:16PM

I'll play this while I take a break from LBP, and before Fallout 3 comes out... gonna be a tough week with all these games!

Game_playa @ Oct 26th 2008 10:18PM

I prefer anything else...

Chin-Poh @ Oct 26th 2008 10:19PM

Why couldn't Rockstar also have added in-game sountrack support while they were at it? : (

Smitty @ Oct 27th 2008 8:09AM

For a game where such a huge deal is paid to the in-game radio stations, you would think it would be an obvious move to include an in-game iPod-esque device for queuing up your own music.

Oh well...

Tez @ Oct 26th 2008 10:22PM

I prefer exploring Frostfire.

Albanian_Killa @ Oct 27th 2008 12:20PM

And Desert Glory ;)

Remix @ Oct 26th 2008 10:24PM

Always people complaining... thanks 4 the update.

Welcome to the internet!

Jay. @ Oct 26th 2008 10:28PM

DL'ing now.
Time to pwn Liberty City again.
How many online trophies are there? I don't plan on getting them, the online sucked.

Kevin PSN: Keviseg15 @ Oct 26th 2008 10:33PM

like 15 or 20

BurnZ @ Oct 26th 2008 10:29PM

"So when Rockstar says "Monday the 27th of October" it seems they actually mean "the evening of Sunday the 26th." "

Actually it's Monday in Australia.

Kevin PSN: Keviseg15 @ Oct 26th 2008 10:34PM

owned. ha

urgaylol @ Oct 26th 2008 10:31PM

FINALLY, too bad i have to start the whole game over again!!

mark @ Oct 26th 2008 10:32PM

yeah I'll play LBP instead...

Ted @ Oct 26th 2008 10:35PM

I got 87% the first time through... It's an amazing game but there are so MANY new games coming out that I don't think I will have time to get any trophies

kentuckyfried @ Oct 26th 2008 10:43PM

Grrr...have to start ALL over again?! damn....too bad.

PSN: johnnynumber5 @ Oct 26th 2008 11:37PM

Seriously ... Can't wait until early 2009 when trophies are mandated for every new release ... I don't care about trophies personally but it's insane to expect someone to play through the game again! Same reason I haven't got an Uncharted trophy yet ...

kentuckyfried @ Oct 27th 2008 12:19AM

I mean, Uncharted is short enough to warrant another run, since I didn't find all the treasure. But that's not a compelling enough reason for me to want to do it all over again, when there's all this new stuff out I don't even have time enough to play!

Erik Hansen @ Oct 26th 2008 10:45PM

already did 100%, i don't no if i rele want to go through this mediocre game again

justin @ Oct 27th 2008 12:17AM

wow, u found every bird looking thing and jumped every unique jump??

Erik Hansen @ Oct 27th 2008 4:04PM

yeah i did it all for the key to the city through the rockstar social culb, i spent 61 hours with the game in about 3 weeks

dynamitefaces @ Oct 26th 2008 10:48PM

Wish the trophies were retroactive just like Warhawk did it, why can't i just download the patch and watch my trophies pop up, anyway i will be too busy in the Resistance 2 beta and Little Big Planet but i might bother getting the trophies for GTA4 when Sony finally says what the reward would be for getting trophies

Nick @ Oct 26th 2008 10:57PM

If you could do that then you could just download a save game file and copy it to your PS3. The only reason some Warhawk trophies are retroactive is because a portion of your stats are stored online, not on your PS3.

Ty @ Oct 26th 2008 10:52PM

I love this game but I think it's too little a little too late. Too many good games being released to play through this again just for trophies.

Packfan @ Oct 26th 2008 10:56PM

Patch size?

Nick @ Oct 26th 2008 10:59PM

20 MB.

Packfan @ Oct 26th 2008 10:59PM

Jawon @ Oct 26th 2008 10:59PM

Awesome. I just got GTA IV today at my local Blockbuster for $30, and I will be start playing next weekend (some little big projects I need to finish).

j.howlett @ Oct 26th 2008 11:01PM

i started the game over so many times when it launched because i couldn't read what to do, then i had my first random encounter and just kept it moving. now i have a game around 48% and i have to start over for trophies. do i want them that bad? at all? is this gta worth the time? i had 5/6 of random encounters the first guy i helped more than once. i have %100 with all my girlfriends and working on getting 2 more. i came in first place in all the races so far.

creyes4182 @ Oct 27th 2008 12:00AM

Does the patch also fix the random freezing when you're logged into psn? If not the **** off rockstar. Normally I'm not like this but the freezing really pissed me off :\

Popfrogs @ Oct 27th 2008 2:45AM

That was fixed a long time ago and it mainly happened to 20GB and 60GB owners. Sony was supposed to replace your PS3 for free if this happened under certain circumstances. They replaced my launch unit and my replacement 60GB plays it fine.

WonderlandInc @ Oct 27th 2008 12:31AM

I Just Finished With The 1.02 Patch For Little Big Planet, And Now a 20 Meg Patch For GTA 4. Going To Be A Great Week For Trophy Collecting. :)

m3nphls @ Oct 27th 2008 12:58AM

does enabling cheats will affect the trophies?

nakedatthecomp @ Oct 27th 2008 10:00AM

Unfortunately yeah :( each cheat you put in says "cheat enabled, _______ trophy blocked"

devilmaker @ Oct 27th 2008 11:46AM

So I guess you use cheats only after you've completed the game 100% Thats slightly annoying but I'll live. I never got the game in the first place so I have to do the story 1st time anyway.

zaxonzaxon @ Oct 27th 2008 1:19AM

trophies trophies trophies trophies trophies trophies trophies trophies trophies trophies trophies trophies

XCool @ Oct 27th 2008 1:26AM

Yay! Downloading now as I post this... ;)

wem003 @ Oct 27th 2008 1:53AM

Man, I really don't want to start over - but I am in the 'I LOVE THIS GAME' camp, so I probably will.

At least I was only at 89%. Freaking pigeons.

LtShinySides @ Oct 27th 2008 1:55AM

Haha, no way am i playing that through again...why is it we have to get this stuff so long after release...

Sure its great for the people who buy it after now...like with burnout...no way am i going to start again...

I miss the days when they released games that were finished and not need to be patched on release day when you get home...nothings as cool as buying a $120(aus) game, get home, wait for the mandatory install and then update it when EVERYONE is trying at the same time and it goes slow, then not be in the mood to play it..YAY /rant...
