Additonal Info:
On top of having a massive open-ended world to be your new playground, Rockstar has given its gamers a huge amount of pure story to play with as well. According to Rockstar, if you take your time and answer your phone regularly, Grand Theft Auto IV could potentially last roughly 100 hours worth of actual story gameplay.
"If you're not in a rush and you answer the phone when it rings it'll take about 100 hours to complete", a Rockstar representative said. "It's harder to distinguish between main and side missions - there are loads of both. But there are more main missions than side missions. It's not as clear cut as it used to be because of the phone."
It has been known for awhile that GTA IV will heavily focus around Niko's phone, so it's no surprise that the game has the potential to be lengthy, but 100 hours was rather unexpected. Niko's phone is not only a way to gain new missions or story pieces, but also your gateway into the multiplayer functionality of Grand Theft Auto IV. We'll keep you up to date if anything else happens.

sounds great, can't wait!
This game is gonna b r8 good
I wonder if taking or ignoring some of these missions effect the story at all. I would love to see something like that.
Wow. I probably played San Andreas over 100 hours just roaming and having little massacres. Sounds good to me.

Where's ignignort? Nothing to spam about his website?
wow a 100 hrs of gameplay and not to mention what InfernoReaper said of mindless mayhem, this game is gonna get a tons of hours put into it by me
Think you can use the phone as a camera and take pictures of what you do in Liberty City??
100 hours of gameplay looks like i'll have to take a vacation.
wow. 100 hours. wow.
Well, now I know how I'll be spending at least 200 hours of my 2008 (I'll play it twice)
cant wait for this and MGS4 and haze and GT5prologue
thats freakin awesome!!!
FINALLY! a developer has given me $60 worth of single-player, good ol' story-driven gameplay, and not forced me to spend $60 for six hours of single-player gameplay and thrown in eight hours of online play for good measure.
@ atrimus: Glad to see a fellow single-player gamer. I could get online anytime but I always prefer single-player.

100 what this is cool i only play a game for 2 hrs gona keep me really busy
really can't wait for this. also i'v seen that Rockstar will b only doing games for PS3 after this. So another resone why PS3 rules
This game is gona be amazing!!!
I hope this is true if so then i hope aswell theres a ranking system to get something out of the game if you pass it before 100 hours :) this game is sure one of the must buy i don't care if you hate it or not your friends will make you want it lol and there be none at the shops once you go get yours lol so call your store before it comes out and order one.
Holy cow. Man, I know that GTA games take forever if you want to do EVERYTHING, but 100hrs of potential story gameplay?! wow.
wow, kind of like oblivion, i like + online :)
I can't wait for this game. The xbox 360 probibily got horrible extra boring missions.
Going to take me a Year to complete I would say, spent at least a month just running from the cops in San Andreas and getting into the military bases :P
I'm not surprised to hear that GTA4 will be a 100 hour game. I probably spent over 200 hours playing San Andreas by just roaming around and causing chaos.
If the story mode in GTA4 will last around 100 hours, then I'm sure that I'll spend over 300 hours just playing GTA4 in total. I'm very disappointed that you can't fly planes in GTA4 because I would spend a lot of time flying planes in San Andreas, however, I know that I will spend a lot of time playing GTA4
I'm never the type of person that starts playing a game and just plays for hours and hours straight just to beat the game as fast as possible. I always take my time when playing through a game so that it lasts longer. GTA4 will surely last me until Resistance 2 and Killzone 2 later on this year... I just hope to God that those 2 games don't get pushed into 2009 because I'm looking forward to them the most after I get MGS4. and GTA4.
bah... Disgaa 3 lasts said to last 400 hours, any FF game can last 100+ hours
psn id: gingo.... well this definetely makes up for all the short games that have been released recently good work rockstar
I have many many many hours on San Andreas, Vice City, and pretty much all the others as well. I can not wait for this game to be released. It is going to be the shiznit. I will be glued to my tv for the rest of my life.
eh hope those other extra non story hours are entertaining i know some of the quests that were in oblivion were boring side quests
So is this gonna fit on 1 dvd?
Sweet keep me entertained until June 12th
I can't wait for this game. I hope it's a better 100 hours spent than San Andreas. I probably spent that much time in GTASA, but I lost interest way before that point. I have no idea why I continued that game. Vice City was the best IMO of the "next gen" GTAs.
100 hours... who needs DLC!?
wow. 100 hours? i'd have to see it to believe it. but he did say that the main storyline and the side missions are hard to keep apart. so i wonder if you dont do a side mission when the phone rings, will it effect the main storyline?
whys everything about the phone.... im so lost
@ Daz (Post 31): I believe it will be on a Blu-ray disc for the PS3. Don't quote me on it but I'm sure it will be.

hmm very seriously considering getting this game now.
I'd like to have Niko's phone (I presume it's a cell phone!?). It sounds like it's got good economical battery consumption! H.e.l.l.o. Niko...
Hey, can we have customisable ringtones that we can change anytime we want?? Our own personal ringtones ofcourse!!!
Good stuff rockstar and A.dont sell out to EA and B. stop taking back handers from slime ball bill gates (360 version having way more content and better online) IS THIS TRUE????
amazing
Bye bye San Andreas,it was nice knowing ya.
hope we can jump of bad side missions, i hope they didnt push the missions in. Some missions are fun but i hope they really worked with the missions and the the choices you have.
