I want one of these early players to go through and make a soundtrack listing.

That would be great! While I want to hold off on the intro and gameplay videos until I get the game, I alays like to know the soundtrack ahead of time.

So when you die,

Thank god.

This thread is simultaneously the most awesome and horrible thing ever.

I watched the first 30 seconds of one of those gameplay links. It was awesome, then I realized I was just spoiling myself and forced to stop.

I quite appreciate the spoiler tagging of info so far y'all -- thanks. Much appreciated, hopefully others will keep it up.

 

[Felix Lighter]

The shooting appears to have improved a lot. More than I expected. That was my only big concern and I feel much better after watching the video.

 

[Chiggs]

Graphics looks like Saints Row 1 (from the vid)

I think you'll find this to be incorrect once you play the game yourself.

[Tendo]

I told myself I'd wait for the inevitable PC release, but upon seeing those gampley vids...I don't think I can do it...I'm not strong enough

 

[Fallout-NL]

1979 = GOTY


Diablos will be pleased.

 

[Gary Whitta]

What is 1979?

 

[RumFore]

Guys help me out here, i'm really on a limb to spend good monies on a game i won't be able to play right away :/

Not sure about the US but it seems to be kind of limited in Europe and Australia as I have seen some say its sold out or they have been asked to change there orders to the normal version.

Shitty overrated song by an amazing band.

 

[Spruchy]

So does anyone know any stores in NJ getting this in early?

 

[Sylar]

If theres no classical station in the game, what radio station is Koyanisqatti on?

 

[tegdf]

any info on the achievements, besides the one or two we know?

 

[speedpop]

Holy shit. I didn't want to spoil myself.. but 1979!?

Fuck yeah!

 

[j-wood]

I keep refreshing gaming sites in hopes that R* makes an announcement that GTA4 will go on sale this week

[bryehn]

Anyone's guide shipping from Amazon? Mine sure isn't says out of stock :\

 

[FnordChan]

Possibly on The Journey, the ambient/chill out station, though that's a bit of a stretch. The Koyaanisqatsi track may not be in the game at all, more's the pity.

We got any info yet whether PS3 version is 7.1 or PCM etc.. and is 1080p capable (hacked or otherwise). Im getting it on 360 but if its got 7.1 Im tempted to double dip but not if I have to go back down to 720p

It definitely supports 1080p. No one knows about the sound capabilities though.

I wonder what took them so long...

"Kill a R* employee in a ranked multiplayer match."

Wow, they BETTER be playing a lot.

 

[Mr.Squirrel]

Better get this one early...

 

[Barakov]

"Kill a R* employee in a ranked multiplayer match."

That will ensure achievement fans will be playing the multiplayer for quite some time.

The song 1979 doesn't even make sense for a game that takes place in Liberty City. The song is about SoCal youth, and I'm willing to bet nobody on the east coast ever enjoyed that track.

I'm so sick of Rockstar and their habit of using music incorrectly. "She's On Fire" and "Push It to the Limit" should have been in Vice City, not GTA III. Pull it together, guys.

Cheers fingers crossed on 7.1 :lol

Uhh, the Pumpkins are from Chicago, are you sure about that Southern California thing?

The lyrics contain no reference to location.

The list that lawblob posted was for xbox 360, so I dont get the PS3 comment. Does the PS3 version even have achievements? Serious question.

Native or scaled?

Ah, I thought R* was as smart as Capcom.

Scaled i'd imagine.

Figured, but thought I'd ask anyways. Thanks.

I believe it does, but don't quote me on it. And it doesn't have a unified structure like a gamerscore so for most people it's not really the same thing.

 

[SpokkX]

So is there an optional install for the 360 version also? can someone answer this?

 

[MattyH]

Any Word on Clans yet?

Even though your reasoning is off, I actually agree - 1979 is a weird choice for the contemporary setting. Still, maybe it's to appeal to those who were in their teens when GTA first came out.

Does anyone know how these tracks are stored? AAC? MP3?

"She's on Fire" and "Push It to the Limit" were perfect for GTA III. They wanted a little bit of a Scarface vibe on that 80s station. I actually associate the Scarface soundtrack with GTA III now, as this was so well done. Even though I enjoyed watching the movie and then playing the game, the songs really fit well with GTA III.

I like that R* doesn't just put in a limited set of music. They try and recreate certain moods and atmosphere by putting in certain genres (like the classical music station in GTA III). It will all depend on what they try to do with songs like 1979 (which a lot of people really liked here in Pittsburgh - which is practically the anti-thesis of the West Coast).

 

[newsguy]

Holy shit, I am listening to 1979 right now and it struck me, I want this to be the song playing in my funeral.
