<font color=goldenrod>I'll probably go right into the missions, as I did with VC and GTA3.</font>

Hey optic who cares?

i love the four person drive by shootings...also the car jackers come in gangs and are more ruthless

They need to have the Beastie Boys if they are going to do a Hip Hop/Rap station. I will actually turn it to that station if they do...and right off if 50 hits.

NICE

I liked GTA3 A LOT better then Vice City

I DUNNO something about Vice City...I didnt like how it wasnt really modern :-\

Yeah, I know what you mean. They both had their pluses. I liked III better in general as a game but I loved some of the features in Vice City. Loved them both though.

Notice the picture of the house break in. The guy in the middle is either crouching and walking or using wall cover. They said that it would have the gameplay feel like Manhunt and it had wall cover so maybe you will be able to use it in this one.

Word. Them, Public Enemy and Cypress Hill.

lol Cypress Hill

PE I could see but Cypress Hill shouldn't even be mentioned ever again. GTA Superstar.

so whats the basic story line? I suppose i could read the ten pages in my game informer but id rather get a quick paragraph on the basic story.. i like you can rob houses now to.

It's on the first page.

You can't judge a band by one song, Rueful.

I can judge it when they make 3 versions of it. And seeing how the rest of the CD was terrible, I think I can make a sound conclusion.

Don't judge a band by one cd that was made after they changed the original lineup either.

Penner, please do not speak unless spoken to. Thanks in advance. :y:

I hope they have the GTA theme, you know the one, "Good shot kid, I think you got him... Good shot kid, I think you got him... weeeeeeeee (something :| :D) Hometown, downtown, speeding all around
an AK47 got the power in its barrel to
move any mother that gets in my way
just another power machine out on the freeway

Riding with me is my MC homeboy
knowing the rules ain't part of his program
finding the right way around this map
might be pretty hard cause he's ****ed on crack [or "Lips" in GTA3]

G - Grand Theft Auto
you gotta make a mark and move where you want to

T - Theft
determination
to steal what you can and run from the nation

A - Hey what d'ya say
we automate the sequence and speed for my getaway
take it to the edge, there's nowhere to hide
and call up the boys, let's go for a joyride
let's go for a joyride

"stop the violence from the police" you know my dad used to say but now he's deceased
he got caught in a jam, threw in the can
when the cops from Brooklyn said he killed another man
seek knowledge was my main game
to think about the law, to figure out the frame
just when I thought I knew justice, a cop behind me said
"You just been busted"

NYPD (NYPD)

LAPD (LAPD)

SFPD (SFPD)

don't **** with me [or "106" in GTA3 :mad: ]

I loved that song so much :love:

Hey.

Shut the **** up.

Thanks in advance. :y:

hey has there been anyword on the multiplayer situation?

it woudl be cool to play LAN and 2 people could do the game together. or even mroe then 2 at least 4! :)

Hopefully this game will be coming on XBOX pretty soon, anyone know?

Itll be some time after PS2

No word on multiplayer but I wouldn't hold it against them. Rockstar had some experience with online multiplay with Midnight Club 2 so...

And I would expect the Xbox version to be about a year from now at the earliest. If it comes out.

One australian website has the game for $99.99 :|!

The normal price is about $80-$85, and even though that's kind of expensive.. I'm not going to pay 100 dollars for a game :|

Yes, you will, HH. We both know it.

What? I've never paid $80 for a game.

He lives in Australia.

Oh. That it explains it mate.

That must really suck with the whole editing the GTA games.

It does explain it.

Penner, **** off. :y:

Please don't say it again Optic. I wouldn't want to get beat up by you.

Me neither. I am as excited about this as I was about Vice.

I personally don't think swimming will be in it....I hope not!

As a side note - GTA3, and VC have had swimming "confirmed" months before they were released...at least that's what 99% of the websites said.

But most of my friends think drowning shouldn't be in the game, you should be able to tread water indefinitely. If that's the case it could possibly ruin the game and I'm not just saying that. Picture how long it would take to swim from way out in the ocean to the shore....it's petrifying. However, if it were only for a few seconds or if there were a breath-o-meter (Toe Jam and Earl comes to mind) that would be cool because then when you slip off a dock you don't just die.

I personally don't see the big deal in swimming, it's never bugged me.

However, the game looks so damn sweet! I'm gonna be the fattest gang banging thug ever!

I know personally that they never confirmed swimming for VC and I doubt they did for 3 either because nobody cared about it then. It was brand new to 3 so nobody was saying "I hope they have swimming because dying in the water is just stupid" and I know after reading many, MANY, sites for VC that they only had it as rumors. It will be in this one. No diving but just enough to get across.

Yeah, i think i see both sides of the coin, i wouldnt like swimming to be a drag to the game, and i wouldnt like it to take away the feature of dying in the water in certain scenarios, since on previous GTA's dying by falling in the water was what made some missions difficult. But i hate the fact that in reality you wouldnt drown by falling in the water. I kinda like the idea of having an air gauge or whatever.

hey it woudl be cool to see earthquakes happen you know.

I'm from the street bitch!......Do they have a web site up yet?

Im guessing they're gonna cram this onto one disk. Gonna be a hella thick DVD though.
