Just checked and I had just enough points left over from months ago to buy BOGT. Wasn't going to get it yet because I didn't really want to put money into it.
Downloading now. ![]() |

I'm hoping it goes back to Vice City - as the original is still one of my favourite games of all time. If they also keep the 1980's element in it, I'll most likely have a heart-attack from excitement before I get to actually buy it.

Am I the only person that didn't really like Vice City?
Like I metioned above, they only did Liberty City again because they felt GTA III didn't capture the feel of New York and not because it's a cycle of LC - VC - SA. Vice City captured the 1980's Miami feeling so it's unlikely we'll get it again. Although with Red Dead Redemption having a huge map, maybe GTA V will have a huge one to, split into more than one city. |

I loved the setting itself in terms of the 80s in VC but I felt the city was way too small.

Yeah, hoping they use the changing seasons from that in the new gta.
Also, RDR's map size is probably easier because there are probably a lot of barren areas, it being in the wild west. Would be much harder to make a city that size, with the intricate detail that needs to go into it. |

If they had us take a plane journey from one city to another it could just load up the city we are going to. Like the subway trains in GTA IV.
The radio stations are apparantly what takes up the most space in GTA games because they are all running all at once all the time and everything. If they could figure a way around that, they could easily fit two cities onto the disc. It would give them twice as much work, though. |

Basically how they did San Andreas as 3 cities but each area had something unique to it and also shared stuff with the other 2 areas so it actually felt like a new city. |

I was around when this news broke last night but, I wasn't sure if I should post it, most of us have 360's anyway. Still, here is some news for Ps3 and PC owners:
Quote:
EFLC didn't do as well as they hoped on the 360 because they took so long so everyone had moved on from GTA IV. I'm not sure how it'll be any better on Ps3 because it's obviously been even longer. I'm glad Ps3 and PC players are getting this but part of me is a little irritated because there where so many people on R*s site whining and bitching about it being 360 exclusive and now they'll think the whining and bitching worked.

I believe based on VG Chartz estimates of sales numbers, when an Xbox 360 game is ported 6 months to a year later for the PS3, the sales end up being about half than Xbox 360 sales. So Rockstar might not even make their initial profit goal they assumed with the Xbox 360 DLC if history stays correct. It was the same thinking of porting Chinatown Wars from DS to PSP but the PSP version flopped harder than Rockstar expected.
Seems a bit odd for Microsoft to pay Rockstar to make content that Sony will get for free but at the same time the initial exclusivity meant Xbox 360 took initial console and game sales away from PS3 |

Yeah, half a million would usually mean "exclusive forever", right? Seems a waste of money to only have it a timed exclusive. Still, they're Microsoft, they insulate their HQ building with money so half a million isnt much to them.
After all the complaing Ps3 and PC fans have done, I bet the game sells quite badly. Like when a child cries and cries for a new toy, then it gets the new toy and doesn't want it anymore. Last edited by Drakul; 01-30-2010 at 01:52 AM. |

Wouldn't be surprised more due to the fact of how long the wait was and what is coming up for PS3 for early 2010.
One reason the Episodes disc and Ballard of Gay Tony sold less was from the long wait from the Lost and Damned (6+ months) and GTA IV (1+ year). Also doesn't help that after the 1st month or two, most people just traded the game in to play the next big game or monthly game. Personally, I never got GTA IV since I hated the driving when I played the game over a cousin's house but bought the Episodes disc version once I heard all the fixes and changes they made. |

Yeah, driving actually has a learning curve in this one. They need to simplify that in the next one. It's GTA, not Gran Turismo.
On a different note, I don't get why people are upset with how the main character controls. In the PS2 games I always thought it was way too sensitive and erratic. Love that they slowed it down, and added a cover system. |

Wish I could put Saint's Row in GTA IV's world. Saint's Row 2 is definitely more fun because of all the cool shit you can do, but GTA IV's game world is so much more alive and detailed, that it makes SR look downright primitive.

there was a cover system in SA wasn't there? that was perfect for me. the character feels a little unresponsive to me too in IV. but you're right, it is a really beautiful game. sometimes it is a little hard to see shit though but i think that might be because i'm the only guy in the world who still plays games on a normal non-widescreen non-HD tv.

Are you talking about the driving? Hated all the cameras for driving. The default one takes up most of the god damn screen, and it can be hard to tell whats coming up sometimes. If you're going up a hill, you have to pray to god there's not a cop on the other side, cause you won't be able to see anything til you're halfway down. Fuckers.

weird, i just started this again today. the car handling thing still pisses me off beyond belief though. the game just feels so awkward to play.

They fixed some of the car handling once the DLC started to come out but mostly for the new cars and motorcycles in the DLC/Episodes disc and not the main game itself.

It annoyed me that in the DLC, crashing on your bike would not fling your dude fifty feet in the air. Sure it was annoying in game or on a mission, but it made for some of the funniest moments.

Yeah, the only time I didn't have fun in a GTA game going flying after colliding my motorcycle with another vehicle is if I ended up "BUSTED!" because of some stupid wanted level for hitting a cop or if I wasn't able to get up in time and got "WASTED!" by traffic smothering me under their wheels.

actually i don't think it's the handling that bothers me so much but the way when you turn a corner the camera decides to not follow until you've just smashed head on into another car that you didn't see. like they were trying so hard to show off how good the graphics are they just completely fucked the feel.

So, 3.5 years after release. I finally finish this thing.
I really enjoyed the game, its got an excellent story. Amazing gameplay. An enormous city that is just overwhelming and Its fun from start to finish. My only qualms are the lack of safe houses and the driving over and over if you fail a mission. Otherwise 9.5/10 |
