c/d s/d: the GRAND THEFT AUTO series

The NRG is KING for unique stunt jumps! Especially the one at the montgomery intersection, which rocks.

^^^^ Keeping it real, not like you fake-ass motherfukcers ;)

I love where I work sometimes!

now get ready for NO MORE INFORMATION FOR ONE YEAR

I'm sure it won't solely be online but I'd be worried that it's smaller to almost force people online to have more game.

Okay, I'm excited now. Finally something to live the next 16 months for!

I can't wait to see what the new one looks like. I still occasionally play SA as a stress reliever!

reliever??? inducer too, right?

so i guess if this thing is coming out oct 2007 it'll be for ps3, not ps2?

whats left? DC, jersey, chicago?

This would need to be true for me to even consider buying it. I'm all GTA'd out, I couldn't cope with another enormous one.

I strongly doubt this would ever happen, mostly because most Americans are vaguely xenophobic, and don't want to buy a game that plays entirely in a British accent. Note the lack of success of a relatively fun game like The Getaway. I think it could work if the UK was one of the maps, but I don't think they'll make the game without a good deal of the gameplay occuring in American cities.

"Stress reliever" only because I don't do the things that are hard and just spend my time shooting shit up. (xxxxxxxxxxpost)

the end of Driver 2's Rio De Janeiro montage is pretty cinematically amazing (for PS1 standards)

New Orleans would be good. Set in the seventies would rock. Online? Fuck that shit. IN MY DREAMS a much larger version of Vice City, set in the '90's, familiar, but different to the version in the older game. BETTER STILL Vice City and Liberty City in the present day, & you fly between them or something (really, I just want VC and LC with all the extra trimmings & stuff from SA)

recently I noticed for the first time the graves beside Catalina's shack out in the countryside. Catalina is my favourite from the game, I have decided.

This guy wearing a light grey hoody hangs around outside the metro station near where I work. He looks just like one of the 2 types of crack dealer who hangs around ganton Every time I see him I briefly get the urge to shoot him in the head w/a tec-9 and take all his money! God.

Taking it easy on the GTA at the moment, cos I'm going through arx fatalis again. god, the 2nd level down of the crypt is fucking scary.

omg the 70s would RULE. great clothes, great talk, great music, GREAT HAIR.

NO THAT WOULD SUCK

If you look across from many places on the east island to the west island you can clearly see the ghost tower on the skyline - a largish skyscraper with a big thick aerial sticking up from the top of it. Drive across a bridge, or take a boat towards the west island, and after you get to the crossover point where it briefly displays the "welcome to vice city" then the tower vanishes. I presume there are 2 files, one for each island, with the other island just as background images. The blue and yellow "welcome to Vice City" screens are presumably to cover the files getting swapped over? I guess the background image file for the first island didn't get updated when they changed the 2nd island map. Weirdest of all was taking a helicopter up and flying between the 2 islands - position the helicopter correctly, and you can see the tower, as well as the original map layout, blurred in the distance. As you approach the shore of the 2nd island, everything starts to pull into focus a little more, the palm trees next to the dual carriagewar appear, then you hit the load screen, and suddenly the tower, and a big lump of land just vanishes.

I got a really odd and strong feeling of dislocation doing this, and I went back and did it several times. I guess some of these game locations must exist as real places somewhere in your mind, and to see something just change like that does your head in in some way. Weird shit, eh.
