"huge step up from previous games" = disaster in general though (although GTA3 is the obvious exception). The stuff about how you have to spend time exercising or you'll get fat and slow down, and about how you have to keep managing things in your hood or you'll lose control over it sounds like the worst elements of The Sims & SimCity stuck together.

BUT WITH GUNS!!!

I have to agree with Andrew that I'm really not looking forward to having to stop off and eat somewhere at different intervals. Seems totally unnessary and unfun to me. I hope I can just grow fat. I'll deal with the slowdown in running with more firepower or somehow. No way I'm going to have eating be a part of the game if I don't have to.

The bit that I'm looking forward to, which I've heard about so far, is the increased distance between the cities; more driving, more gamespace.

No! Driving across interminable bridges in Vice City was bad enough! I don't want to practice my cruise control motorway driving when I've got a mission to do.

Maybe you'll be able to smoke crank so that you won't have to eat.

Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Thursday, 14 October 2004 21:55 (nineteen years ago) link

Crank? Do you mean Spank?

Alba (Alba), Thursday, 14 October 2004 21:59 (nineteen years ago) link

SPANKED UP MADMAN

This is supposed to be in 1991, remember.

There're so many great Playstation 2 games coming out lately. God, I hadn't considered buying a console system in years.

I read that they have tried to cut down on the barren areas like they had in Vice City, supposedly by having more pedestrian action or something.
The bridges weren't that bad were they? The bridge that spanned to the golf island was cool at night time, when it was light up with blue lights at the base and the familiar orange sodium lights on the top. Many a fly by on that one. god I'm sad.

LIT UP!

Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 15 October 2004 08:28 (nineteen years ago) link

i'm going to be so poor soon. pro evo 4, GTA-SA, Smackdown vs Raw, singstar 2

how comes metal gear solid 3 is released here like 8 months after US? (amazon.co.uk says it's released in july 2005 while amazon.com says 1 nov 2004 wtf)

ken c (ken c), Friday, 15 October 2004 08:34 (nineteen years ago) link

This eating/fatman/stamina/gym thing is starting to worry me, I just hope that they've done it in a very subtle way where you hardly notice you're doing it and you don't have to worry about it too often, like picking up health and armour icons in the last games.

MY WHOLE LIFE DEPENDS ON THIS GAME BEING PLAYABLE!!

Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 15 October 2004 08:39 (nineteen years ago) link

It would be good if the eat function was also tied to a save function

Jimmy Mod, Los Sexx Yanqui (ModJ), Friday, 15 October 2004 09:49 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm worried about all this micromanaging you seem to have to do in the game as well (eating and exercising, which are two things I can't even be bothered with in real life), but my understanding is that they've made them into minigames that will actually be fun to do. Who knows if that's truly the case, though.

antexit (antexit), Friday, 15 October 2004 10:32 (nineteen years ago) link

And for the record, I think "homie," as it's being used on this thread, is a euphemism for "nigger."

antexit (antexit), Friday, 15 October 2004 10:36 (nineteen years ago) link

spanked up on monkey lips.

cºzen (Cozen), Friday, 15 October 2004 12:37 (nineteen years ago) link

cºzen (Cozen), Friday, 15 October 2004 13:04 (nineteen years ago) link

my friend just bought a copy. 60 euro though, yikes. it might be cheaper if I drive.

Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 15 October 2004 13:05 (nineteen years ago) link

?

ken c (ken c), Friday, 15 October 2004 13:06 (nineteen years ago) link

so you can rob a shop and drive off?

ken c (ken c), Friday, 15 October 2004 13:06 (nineteen years ago) link

I can drive to somewhere where they sell more games, and have better value, like a HMV or something.

Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 15 October 2004 13:08 (nineteen years ago) link

i see! sorry i didn't think, cos there's a virgin megastore just down the road here.

ken c (ken c), Friday, 15 October 2004 13:18 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm in suburbia you see.

Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 15 October 2004 13:18 (nineteen years ago) link

HOLY SHIT. (note: audio may take a while to stream, be patient)

alfalfa romeo (natepatrin), Saturday, 16 October 2004 20:14 (nineteen years ago) link

(supposedly the "official soundtrack" will only be 2 CDs instead of the huge-ass box set they had for Vice City, but I wouldn't discount the idea of an actual CD for every station.)

alfalfa romeo (natepatrin), Saturday, 16 October 2004 20:17 (nineteen years ago) link

HAHAHAHAHA we can FINALLY run down people to "KILLING IN THE NAME OF"

Sir Kingfish Beavis D'Azzmonch (Kingfish), Saturday, 16 October 2004 21:16 (nineteen years ago) link

oh wow, country music in a GTA game

Sir Kingfish Beavis D'Azzmonch (Kingfish), Saturday, 16 October 2004 21:17 (nineteen years ago) link

Perhaps the coolest aspect of radio stations, though, is the fact that each and every vehicle will play songs differently -- since every vehicle has different speakers inside them. As an example, normal cars have a more balanced sound playback while lowriders offer a huge amount of bass and low-end audio. Players will also have access to a new optional feature that allows them to adjust the sound level of their ride.

Outside of the game, fans will once again have the opportunity to purchase the soundtrack independently (Vice City did the same two years back). But to make this new soundtrack even better than the last, Rockstar has reached an agreement with Interscope Records to publish two different ways to get your hands on the music. The first is the regular edition double album that offers up key tracks for each radio station. But the second and more attractive way to get the music is via the giant box set -- an enormous package that contains eight overloaded CDs. Both versions of the soundtrack are expected to hit shelves on November 23...

i always did wanna buy the "Mr Magic" soundtrack disc from GTA:VC...

JOY

The guy who performed the voice of Paul the english character from Vice City was in a film on bbc1 last night.

Will Lazlow feature on the new radio stations in some way?

Ste (Fuzzy), Monday, 18 October 2004 12:47 (nineteen years ago) link
