I have seen dozens of videos. That gif is no where near what the game looks like 99% of the time.

Worry not, friendo.

wow, our distributor will put game on shelves on Saturday - my preordered copy is going to mail tommorow, so I will get it on Saturday morning . Crazy world - GT5P first, and now also GTA IV.

Are people really that concerned with seeing a tiny bit of gameplay? Just glancing at it it looks like it plays just like any other GTA. It's not like it's a total surprise.

Can I just say that I was the first to say there would be TV in this game :D Back in the hype thread ;) So I'm pretty happy right now :) SOMETHING I SAID WAS RIGHT :lol

Also, for all those people waiting until Tuesday for this game (I understand there are a few :lol ) listen to this:-
*sad music*
On Tuesday I was searching for a bargin PS3, my main goal was to get GTA 4 and a PS3 for under £300 (which is like $600). My mother in-law can get a 10% discount at a well known supermarket, so I can get the PS3 for £270, so I need to find GTA 4 for £30. If I get them both from the supermarket, that's £306. That's as close as it's getting, I think. But then I start to panic, all the pre-orders are taken everywhere, so what's the chance of me just walking in and buy it day one. So I search for a site that still has pre-orders, Game was still doing them yesterday, I though...but today all gone! :( Next I look at Play.com, but they too are out. BUT just as I go to find another site...there it is :) A PS3 + GTA 4 Bundle!!!!! £299.99!!!!! Mission complete *SA jazzy music* Ordered with a penny to spare :)
But for every reaction, there is an equal and opposite reaction (that's actually science) *sad music, again*, while dancing like a mad man of joy I notice due for release on......06/05/2008!!!!! But I can't go back now, what if I cancel and I can't get my hands on the game. And I've got below £300.

The moral of the story? If you're going to be cheap expect consequences. :lol

That is my story, and indeed my curse.

P.S

Why a live broadcast, why, why, why??? 12 days of temptation :(

Niko's bail looks pretty awesome to me.

It looks like he is launched out of the drivers seat from a rocket launcher, and then he slides across the road on his arm, the natural (euphoria) motion would be to put your arms close to your body and roll, in fact the velocity of your propulsion meeting the stationary ground would result in a roll no matter what (see barrel roll dog.gif) Thats why I think it sucks, but the getting up animation looks good, just a shame about the Saints Row type limp ragdoll.

Agreed. People are getting overly sensitive over the gameplay vids.

However, I can understand if someone wants the intro part unspoiled.

I'm done with my gameplay video fix, but if anyone is still looking, I think the big ZIP I put up on megaupload is still there, I have most of the early ones in there. Just that taste drove me nuts. Seeing the new engine in action was enough, I am already impressed.

He shot a cop first though, so that might have changed the rules a bit.

There has to be one retailer that probably doesn't know english and has no clue as to what is going on that releases the game early in Miami. People go out and look, i'll get Kendall but people here know what they are doing.

On the US list #9 is a guy named flamarlins21, he has to be from Miami, who else would give a crap about the Marlins. I dont have xbox live, someone ask him where he got the game.

I don't know, even if I wait, I still won't know what is system war BS and what's truth.

He probably got it from a website.

On my other forum, 5 people are already playing it.

He probably is a dirty pirate using the NTSC bootleg.

Any word on a store in the US releasing early?
I'm planning on a 2 day sick call and would love to be able to enjoy this during that time off.

Hi all

Great thread Himuro.

It is so true that the last few days are the hardest. I just bought Vice City Stories for PSP and will be playing some STA SA on my 360 for the first time in 6 months. Way more content then i could get through in a few days, so it should hold me over till Monday night.

I am getting the PS3 version, since my 360 freezes occaisionaly and needs to be sent in. Plus from what i can tell the PS3 may have a very slight edge graphically (although it will probably not be noticable to me) and I dont really care about achievements. I also like the idea of a quit machine as GTIV will be getting alot of play and I can only play at night after my wife goes to bed usually.

The free online will be nice to as i am seriously considering canceling my xbl acount. Although i will HAVE to have xbl for Gears 2....(im really just cranky with my xbox right now)

As for the DLC, if it seems worth it to me in the fall, i can always use my Blockbuster gamepass and rent the 360 version for a while.
