Considering how well GTAIV will sell on X360, they'll find a way to keep the series going on it.

I didn't bring up the 360. The other thread im purposely fueling (I own a 360, why would I want to see the series stop?). My concern comes in the future. What if GTA outgrows blu-ray? Will there always be a bigger format looming?

<-- dumb about formats.

Blu-ray can be unlocked for upto 200GB (8 layers) on any BD reader. 1 Terrabyte theoretically.
This will obviously not ever be the case for movies but for future consoles they could have the game side take use of this.

You know, I just realized...maybe we'll finally see what's in that barricaded tunnel in Shoreside Vale!

(the LCS version has the tunnel open which you can drive in...and run into another roadblock.)

I remember reading all the bat shit theorys about what was there, like some hidden town or something. :lol

that's my favorite part after a new gta comes out, all these stupid theories.

"Ghost town!"
"Sasquatch!"
"Fly out of vice city!"

Man, watching these videos of San Andreas

1. I forgot how ugly it was

2. I forgot how ambitious it was. Man, that was such an epic experience. They really spared no expense. Great gaming experience.

I just found it funyn that a little kid was narrating. I was expecting a huge Video game nerd going all technical and shit, and the first thing I hear is this high pitched toddler and I couldn't help but lol.

How many people went "holy shit" when they first outzoomed the map in SA to see just how REALLY big it was?

I think my first "holy shit" moment was the mountain.....and the ride back down.:D

The size is a nice thing, but it's the density and detail of IV that has me drooling.

Edit: 6days 2-3hours before we are all lining up to get this game!

Shit, in 6 days I'm looking to already be playing the game (thank god for Chinatown in NYC). :D

See, normally I'd be pissed off at people receiving the game early, but I'm not because I can totally understand with this game. The thing I worry about is the Social Club aspect of it. I really hope that R* finds a way to make the competitions they are holding be fair with reguards to the 100% and such.

Someone mentioned earlier that all stats will be wiped upon the actual release date... so that's probably their course of action for those that get the game early.

If that's true, then kick ass. I'm sure I won't win anything, but it's not going to stop me from trying. Since I will be trying, it would be nice to know that everyone will have a fair chance at it.

Aren't the people who are going to try and beat the game as fast as possible for the social club going to use the strategy guide? Seems pointless to even bother to me. I'm going to take my time.

Most fav GTA mission, quite simple from what I remember, the part where you have to plant a bomb in a car at St Marks, eat til you explode is accurate.

I agree. It'd be like bagging a threesome with Jessica Biel and Scarlett Johansen and then trying to blow your load as quickly as possible. Madness.

God. Ray's missions in GTAIII are my favorite fucking missions in the series. Great balance in difficulty, and badass all around. Kenji's almost as awesome. The payphone missions on Staunton are fucking genius too.

This game...THIS GAME!!!

Staunton Island is the best area in any GTA.

You're right, I absolutely loved those payphone missions. In fact, GTA III probably had the best missions of the whole series. Donald Love was a pimp.

Ugh, the last thing I want to do is be the first to 100% That would also make me the first to not enjoy what could possibly be the game of the generation. This series needs to be played thoroughly, at least on the first playthrough.

I just called a Gamestop guy just to be 100% sure there's a midnight launch.

"Thank you for calling Gamestop, how can I help you?"
"Yes, are you guys having a midnight launch for GTA?"
"...yes."
"And it's for preorder guys only?"
"..............yes."
"Hah, I bet you guys got that question a lot eh?"
"......................................................yesssssssssssssss."

Hah, what a jerk.

I understand the point you are making, but for me, the GTA's have such high replay value the rush doesn't mean anything to me. This game will be sex no matter what speed you decide to attack it with. So basically, I have the ability to nut more than once. :p

They really oughta re-release GTAII-SA for simple nostalgic factor. Pretty up the graphics, keep the silly bugs in, I'd buy them all again. Such fun times I've had with GTA...


nothing in the series geeked me out more than seeing GTAIII guy in San Andreas. Such an incredibly cool nod, even more so than the trip back to LC.
