Just stop talking.

Before someone walks up behind you and chops off your head.

Gosh, you a professional stand-up comedian or som'thing? That's funny man...

 

[Felix Lighter]

GOD MY GAME BONER IS SO BIG

And i have to hold it for five days longer

Blue balls confirmed.

 

[h3ro]

Gosh, you a professional stand-up comedian or som'thing? That's funny man...

Any way you could throw in a PS3 version and give us some impressions?

 

[jaaz]

Any way you could throw in a PS3 version and give us some impressions?

"Framerate seems generally stable to me and controls are overall good."

 

[NeXuSDK]

Any way you could throw in a PS3 version and give us some impressions?

Nah, unless the MP session will be on PS3...

 

[NeXuSDK]

Impressions of the year.

Yeah ok, why don't I just write you a nice 5-page review, break the NDA in all sorts of ways, ruin the review for my magasine/site and cut all ties to Rockstar. Will that do?

 

[MMaRsu]

Nah, unless the MP session will be on PS3...

I bet you've seen the screens released by IGN just a couple of days ago, does the game really look like that ? Or does it look like the trailers and is everything silky smooth ^_^

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

5 minute installation will be plenty of time for me to blow one last big load for GTA4.

 

[jordan0386]

So, there is no time limit on how much you can play. You can go all day?

Thats pretty cool.

:lol

Those pics are really bugging you, aren't they? (Not that I disagree- I thought several of them looked pretty bad myself. Trailers look pretty great though, so I doubt it'll be a problem in the end)

 

[FightyF]

Yeah ok, why don't I just write you a nice 5-page review, break the NDA in all sorts of ways, ruin the review for my magasine/site and cut all ties to Rockstar. Will that do?

It was a joke, I totally understand the position you're in. Dude, I'm fucking FightyF, need I say more?

That last part was a joke too.

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

So are the single-player game demos Rockstar is giving on both systems/ luck of the draw or just the 360?

If both, did you get to choose?

 

[NeXuSDK]

So, there is no time limit on how much you can play. You can go all day?

Thats pretty cool.

Yeah well, it's also hard playing for 14 hours straight with hardly any breaks

 

[MMaRsu]

Kinda yeah heh . The trailers all look so fantastic I hope I'm not setting too high of a bar for myself..and when I see screenshots like that my hope and stuff is just like " wut -_- "

 

[homez99]

Yeah well, it's also hard playing for 14 hours straight with hardly any breaks

I'm sure gaffers will not have that trouble next week, including myself.

 

[NeXuSDK]

Which screens exactly?

 

[newsguy]

I hear you. The need to masturbate to this game will overtake me as well. What's your jerk to mission ratio right now? I would imagine 20 missions/1 tug would be about right.

 

[SolidSnakex]

IGN has a new multiplayer preview up.

[MMaRsu]

Which screens exactly?

These :

Does the game look like this

or more like this

?

 

[Gary Whitta]

I will be spanking it constantly the entire time.

 

[chubigans]

That second pic is an old build of the game. It DEFINITELY does not look like that. Compare taxis to see what I mean.

 

[Sylar]

I dont understand why you're freaking out over fucking pedestrians mmarsu. Jesus, even that first pic is an immense improvement. What are you expecting? Niko-level peds? Yeah right.

 

[MMaRsu]

That second pic is an old build of the game. It DEFINITELY does not look like that. Compare taxis to see what I mean.

Very true, however all the new screenshots have this ugly filter aplied to it.

Let me rephrase the question then, does it look like that top screen or does it look like the stuff out of the trailers?

I dont understand why you're freaking out over fucking pedestrians rau. Jesus, even that first pic is an immense improvement. What are you expecting? Niko-level peds? Yeah right.

No just peds that don't have textures like they walked out of a Xbox 1 game.

?

I'd say better, but there's always such a big difference from screens to see the game in motion.

 

[Hunter D]

Why can't I log into the social club.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

What exactly are all the cellphone features? I just got geeked out reading the wikipedia entry today and seeing that you can actually call the cops. Holy shit, the possibilities are endless with that. SO AWESOME.

 

[chubigans]

The trailers have the same "ugly" filter applied to it. Look at the fourth trailer and pause on some of the screens.

 

[Sylar]

No just peds that don't have textures like they walked out of a Xbox 1 game.

And you will be dissapointed. It's the 360/PS3. Don't expect each PED to have dynamic bit mapping or lighting or amazing textures. Else you'd have no peds whatsoever.

 

[h3ro]

I'd say better, but there's always such a big difference from screens to see the game in motion.

Great. Any issues with loading/load times? Optional install on 360?

 

[MMaRsu]

Really? Never noticed it..well I hope that's not actually ingame then :\

 

[NeXuSDK]

I'm playing the debug version, running on the harddrive... no way to tell

 

[The Chef]

You are way too lax about this whole thing

 

[newsguy]

Everything basically. It's your game hub. From missions, to dating, to dling different ringtones, even getting online is thru the phone.

 

[duk]

best Buy deal: 360 + GTA4 = $50 gift card

 

[teacupcopter]

WHAT THE FUCK GUYS

I BROKE MY FUCKING HAND TRY AS I MIGHT I CANNOT EVEN COME CLOSE TO HOLDING A CONTROLLER

IS TTHIS BECAUSE I DIDN'T 100% SAN ANDREAS GOD!? IS IT!? BECAUSE I TRIED I SWEAR










FUCK

 

[h3ro]

Thanks for all the info, you should get back to playing and get off GAF!

 

[zaidr]

IGN has a new multiplayer preview up.

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/868/868629p1.html

Says when you load the game, you go straight to your last single player save. That is just rad. I was hoping PS Home was going to do something like that, but GTA has done it instead. Great job Rockstar!

 

[h3ro]

WHAT THE FUCK GUYS

FUCK

I played 50% of Gran Turismo 3 with my left arm in a sling and cast on my left wrist... you'll make it work.

Dude how did you break your hand man? Sorry to hear that

 

[Sylar]

...GTA has always done that....

FUCK

Sorry to hear that. What's to stop you from messing around though? I'm so crazy I would buy it and just use my one hand to play around in the city.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Man, calling the cops up, just fucking with them, calling them into gang territory just to watch them fight....OMG OMG OMG

 

[MMaRsu]

Listen if the game looks like this when I'm playing it I'll be 100% satisfied

Also I'm not hating but I think it's really funny people talking about features that Saints Row had first, now GTAIV has them and it's like the best thing ever supposedly.

I mean I could call the cops in Saints Row, listen to music on foot, free aim, call up friends, get into multiplayer, everything..

Ofcourse this game will be like 100x better than Saints Row, it's just weird seeing all this shit.

 

[Guled]

Party systems have become popular in online games. Invite some friends to your party and you'll be able to teleport around to various game modes, sticking together between each session. But you won't be sitting around long staring at boring screens. That's because Party Mode drops you into a secluded part of Liberty City with a host of guns and vehicles available to smack your buddies around. This is your lobby and it can become a pleasant distraction while the host tries to get his act together and launch you into one of the many multiplayer modes available.

YES, thats all I wanted

Spoiler

except bikes, planes, tanks,and jetpacks

 

[Sylar]

Not to be debbie downer, but it probably won't. Those are cinematic cameras and shots planted by Rockstar.

 

[Wollan]

Bump for the masses.

.

 

[zaidr]

...GTA has always done that....

Granted I've always played the previous GTA's on PC, but I distinctly remember there being a menu...(I'm gonna sooooo call you a newbie if I am right :lol )

 

[Sylar]

GTA3-SA has never had a menu on bootup. NEVER. Atleast not on consoles. It always booted first save, then you could load the others.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

I have a feeling that snipers are going to be incredibly cheap in MP with them hiding on rooftops and all.

 

[newsguy]

Man, calling the cops up, just fucking with them, calling them into gang territory just to watch them fight....OMG OMG OMG

I like how you think. Watch gang warz from a rooftop.
