That full soundtrack made me cream my pants.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Friday, 22 October 2004 12:16 (nineteen years ago) link

oh man the house station is stunning! this is going to be so fucking good.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 22 October 2004 12:52 (nineteen years ago) link

surprised at the absense of Happy Mondays, what with Shaun doing a voice over in the game as well.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 22 October 2004 13:22 (nineteen years ago) link

He's doing like an alternate-universe parody of himself though isn't he, it might be a bit weird having a proper Mondays song as well?

I read some people saying you can kidnap babies in this but I think they were taking the piss.

You have to take the controller in your arms and rock it gently or the kid's yelling attracts the cops.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Friday, 22 October 2004 14:54 (nineteen years ago) link

And it pisses all over you.

What's the song playing in the video trailer?

And how have people "hacked" it?

― Richard K (Richard K), Saturday, 23 October 2004 02:45 (nineteen years ago) link

Depending on which trailer, it's "Welcome to the Jungle" or "I Don't Give A Fuck".

i like the r&b one lots.

I dunno what's been put out on the internet or whatever, but I have connections here and there. Some of the stuff I've heard that will be in the game (note, before I posted this, I did some brief Google searches, and some of this doesn't show up. also, perhaps I shouldn't post this, but I'm high, so whatever):

-There will be a Harrier.

-There will be trains. You can hijack trains.

-Obviously, you can skydive, which means you can bail from planes.

-There's going to be a "no-fly zone". The other name for it? "Area 69". So we can safely assume various items will be for grabs here.

-As is in the video, there will be the Hoover Dam.

-There will be mountain biking competitions. A whole host of various "parlor games", in fact. Everything from street racing to Motocross to boxing seems to be on the agenda, from what I heard.

-Cars can be fitted with Nitrous (also obvious in the video)

-There will be a "Hoover Dam".

does anybody know the name of the Easy E-lookin' guy yet?

― Sir Kingfish Beavis D'Azzmonch (Kingfish), Saturday, 23 October 2004 07:26 (nineteen years ago) link

But Alan, will there be a Hoover Dam?

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Saturday, 23 October 2004 07:32 (nineteen years ago) link

Covered up with lava and I feel fine
It washes over me
Keeps me feeling warm at night
And if you've made a deal with
The guy with the horns and the cape
I'll see you later later

― Sir Kingfish Beavis D'Azzmonch (Kingfish), Saturday, 23 October 2004 07:43 (nineteen years ago) link

God knows what it'll be called. Kinda like how the Mirage is the "Visage" and that shit.

― Alan Conceicao, Sunday, 24 October 2004 03:57 (nineteen years ago) link

Vaccuum Cleaner Dam.

― JimD (JimD), Sunday, 24 October 2004 08:11 (nineteen years ago) link

God-Dam

GUNDAM

okay, i have to complete 10,000 words of Loose Lips stuff, edit and layout the next issue, write a Kerrang! cover feature and teach a class in music journalism before I'll be able to get my mitts on this sucker. this means i shall be regularly checking ilx and expecting up to the minute gameplay updates from US ilx0rs.

do not disappoint me. i crave distraction.

― stevie (stevie), Monday, 25 October 2004 10:53 (nineteen years ago) link

I got my message from the store last night that said i could pick it up after 7pm tonight. WTF is that shit.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Monday, 25 October 2004 11:12 (nineteen years ago) link

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Monday, 25 October 2004 11:14 (nineteen years ago) link

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Monday, 25 October 2004 11:35 (nineteen years ago) link

Amazons still showing my order as expected delivery today, LIARS!!

― Ste (Fuzzy), Monday, 25 October 2004 11:37 (nineteen years ago) link

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Monday, 25 October 2004 11:40 (nineteen years ago) link

I know, but at least if I get one by 2pm im home by 3 and playing for a good 5 hours. If i get it at 7, i'll be home by 8 and then will be up all night. Ugh.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Monday, 25 October 2004 11:47 (nineteen years ago) link

My local store is selling them starting at 7 tonight. Store closes at 8. Dinner with my aunt at 6. Details at 11.

― 57 7th (calstars), Monday, 25 October 2004 19:19 (nineteen years ago) link

I got it...Axl Rose is the DJ of the classic rock station. Opie and Anthony are in it too. Seems pretty great so far!

― 57 7th (calstars), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 00:09 (nineteen years ago) link

Sly and Robbie are the DJs of the reggae station...

― 57 7th (calstars), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 00:10 (nineteen years ago) link

boo, i have to stop reading this thread now before everything gets spoilersed for me...

― JimD (JimD), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 00:14 (nineteen years ago) link

You mean Axl Rose IS Axl Rose, or that he plays some unctuous parody of himself?

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 00:54 (nineteen years ago) link

(Like there's a difference anymore, ha ha groan.)

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 00:54 (nineteen years ago) link

YOU GET TO BEAT UP CRACK DEALERS WITH A BASEBALL BAT AND THEN DRIVE OFF LISTENING TO "ROCK CREEK PARK"

― Leeeter van den Hoogenband (Leee), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 03:49 (nineteen years ago) link

hahaha, I just realized Johnny Harris' "Odyssey" is the track played by the band "Andromeda" in an episode of Buck Rogers!

― MC Transmaniacon (natepatrin), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 05:33 (nineteen years ago) link

(there's a lowrider dance-off segment set to it that works like DDR and FUCKING RULES)

― MC Transmaniacon (natepatrin), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 05:35 (nineteen years ago) link

I know it's early but are there any reviews online for this yet? Preferrably work safe looking ones without screenfuls of animated gifs and screenshots.

First nerd in line. I only played for about an hour, then I went to bed. Today I will play for hours when I get home. I have a "doctors appt" and need to leave early.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 10:05 (nineteen years ago) link

Has anyone been out to the country yet and tuned to the country station? Willie Nelson in a GTA game...awesome.

― 57 7th (calstars), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 10:50 (nineteen years ago) link

i'd so be on the country station and Radio X the whole time

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 11:23 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm worried about the frame rate of the game on the PS2, anyone who has played it yet care to comment on this?
