It's weird how each trailer released for this game was less exciting than the one before (loved the first one), but I'm still looking forward to the game more than ever.

my favourite trailer was number two, but this was purely because of the boggs music

more on multiplayer
the game is doomed by my expectations for it, which i don't seem to be able to mitigate or control at all.

A friend of mine sent me a mysterious message a few days ago that I have three weeks to come up with $2500...
Turns out it's so I can buy a TV and PS3 and this game in order to be wheel man for his drive-bys.
― Kerm, Wednesday, 9 April 2008 17:26 (sixteen years ago) link
Wow, you could buy that stuff for $1500, easy. Less, even. Your friend is mental.
― Will M., Wednesday, 9 April 2008 17:40 (sixteen years ago) link
I think he's planning on me rolling a big BRAVIA. Plus, wait he doesn't have a PS3 yet either!
Regardless, we're definitely both mental.

and why

"I blew through a crosswalk just as a guy was – I was kind of going through fairly slow – but he was holding his coffee cup, the car came really close and he kind of jumped. I mean, the reaction – because they're using the Natural Motion engine – the guy sort of reacted to the car. He jumped back, dropped his coffee, starts bitching about dropping his coffee and, you know, you just go by. But the whole sort of movement and interaction between the person and the car looked like what would happen if you went too close to a guy carrying a cup of coffee on the sidewalk. "

"One example was that, as I was failing a mission and I was retreating, I got like a two-star warning, so I’m trying to get out, and I rear-ended a taxi. All of a sudden it bursts up into flame, fire started coming out. I was like, "oh crap," so I drove a little bit further out of the way, and it was in an intersection with a lot of other cars. Then a few seconds later, a guy stumbles out of the taxi in flames. So then the first car explodes, and another car that was right next to it catches fire.
"So I actually felt kind of bad about this. I mean, the poor guy’s running around on fire. So I pull out a telephone and I call the fire department. So a few seconds later, a big fire truck comes up, parks too close to one of the cars that explodes right as it gets there... and then the fire truck explodes. Six or seven cars ended up going up in flames and exploding, and people are running around on fire. It was all sort of this dynamic setup that I kind of triggered by one tiny event: I rear-ended a car."

sounds like just another typical day in Theft land really

Shoulda left a note.

Played the shit out of Vice City last night, the pedestrians are hilarious. There was a guy who was just giggling and farting, he ended with a 'look at those great titties' remark which just made me bawk with laughter.
― Ste, Friday, 11 April 2008 09:41 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah, IV will need some "I need some titties ta squeeze" type comments

They've released official multiplayer info

― Ste, Saturday, 12 April 2008 12:17 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm very excited about multiplayer, perhaps more than I am about the main game. You should all make sure you have me on your Xbox Live lists, ready for release! I'm Jimdoo.
(Ste, have you chosen between 360 and ps3 yet? I'll feel cheated if you choose sony and I don't get the chance to shoot you)

god i need to swap my xbox360 for a ps3 quick.
― sunny successor, Monday, 14 April 2008 15:22 (sixteen years ago) link
oh and i saw the trailer for this on afternoon tv a week or so ago.
Seriously i'm considering just waiting until this comes out on pc in which time I'll have purchased a super duper system, and it'll probly be twice as shit hot than either console versions. I'm finding it real hard to come to terms with coughing up that much money for a ps3/360 + HD telly for just one game.
i'll make my choice after hearing u guys review it on April 29
― Ste, Monday, 14 April 2008 15:23 (sixteen years ago) link
anyone else taking a sick day/vacation day on April 29?
anyone else feel ashamed of what they've become?
― Roberto Spiralli, Monday, 14 April 2008 15:25 (sixteen years ago) link
I'll be home, but not for this necessarily. I might have to wait until my birthday (May 1) for it. We did buy a shit hot LCDTV though.
― sunny successor, Monday, 14 April 2008 15:41 (sixteen years ago) link
May take a sick day. May try to pick the game up at midnight if a store within walking distance stays open.
― Jeff LeVine, Monday, 14 April 2008 17:04 (sixteen years ago) link
Ste - you could get a 360 and hook it up to your computer monitor (VGA cable sold separately). Still expensive for one game though. I wonder if R* is going to bother to put this out on PC - has anybody heard anything official?
― Jeff LeVine, Monday, 14 April 2008 19:57 (sixteen years ago) link
ooh, now i didn't know that. hmm.
― Ste, Monday, 14 April 2008 22:36 (sixteen years ago) link
OK, I am officially excited about this now. Only problem is I won't have a really big telly until the end of May and it's usually difficult to differentiate between locations on the map with the one I have at the moment. But I'm not waiting until the end of May to play this. No way.
Am I the only girl in this beeyotch?
― Madchen, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 11:25 (sixteen years ago) link
If they don't put this out on PC I will be very ;_;
― Pashmina, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 11:26 (sixteen years ago) link
Ha! There are other girls, around, well, like, one I think. Abbott?
I am officially excited about this, and inadvertantly it turns out I am also off work on the 29th. I'll be bagging this for the 360.
Madchen, do you have an Xbox 360? What's your gamertag?
:D
― czn, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 11:41 (sixteen years ago) link
Yes, but I am not hooked up to technology other than the telly yet -that will happen at the end of May too. I do have a sludge-coloured headset at the ready though, courtesy of Halo.
― Madchen, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 14:21 (sixteen years ago) link
Have we noted that the release coincides with a bank holiday weekend? Bye bye hedge trimming, car washing and visits to stately homes then.
― Madchen, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 14:23 (sixteen years ago) link
Hah! Are you going to jump on the Call of Duty 4 gravy train too?
― czn, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 15:10 (sixteen years ago) link
Madchen, I am here and excited too!

that sounds seriously delicous, particularly the new wanted star system.
Although I'd be interested to know how that works with police chases, would you lose your wanted level if you managed to lose the tail?
Does anyone know who the mystery guest celebrity is?

I was reading the cover feature of Edge this morning and getting all excited again.

Did you buy a 360 solely for this Madchen?

Hey, I'll bet Rockstar Social Club will have cross-platform friend groups and stuff for stats-- hello ILG group!

(x-p) No, Stet gave it to me for my birthday. With Halo, which I am not getting on with (it makes me feel sick).

Hell, this is the first GTA set after September 11th, isn't it. The amount of reactionary bullshit for them to draw from is a veritable ocean.

san andreas?
― czn, Wednesday, 16 April 2008 16:51 (sixteen years ago) link
san andreas was set before 9/11, i nthe early 90s or so
