GTA V

[rk47]

If they're serious about improving GTA V, they should do the following:
- Car customization, turbo boosts, bulletproof windows, paintwork, bumpers, bodyworks, anything. Give the players a cash sink and something to own in the game. Niko Bellic spends 75% of the game doing hit contracts but he owns nothing in the game world. Not even a personalized car.
- Apartments. Goddamit. I hate having to run back to the same shitty apartment to save my game or park my car. Let me spend cash on more garages. I want to collect some sports car and compare them in my spare time.

Give those back so I feel like those earned cash actually meant something instead of just numbers on the top right hand screen.

I'll wait for the steam sales, brah.

Saint's Row is also a pita to get working. I fucked with it for probably an hour last night, and it's still not right. Mostly trying to fix the speed issue since as a shitty port it's tied to the cpu speed of the xbox 360. Really?

I think the auto-fix is seeing my 3.3GHz cpu and not my 4.2GHz OC or something. Trying to tweak it manually, 0.8 is too slow, 1.0 is too fast; but for some reason 0.9 is even slower than 0.8.

So my enthusiasm for the series is also based on the fact that GTA plays great on the PC and I've yet to play SR2 despite three attempts. To be fair, I did get it working somewhat on my last pc then steam sold me something better.

Or, you know, wait for SR3

Is that why I was getting spammed on Steam with "Sky is playing Saints Row 2" over and over again?

[TripleDES]

SR2 is a shitty port that's clock sensitive. The closer you get to 3.2GHz, the better it'll run.

Also, fear not, SR3 PC is done in-house. And it does Eyefinity.

Yep, sorry 'bout that.

That's what I am using.

[Mrbloodworth]

How many people can the multiplayer co-op part of saints row support?

[Sky]

SR2 I believe is 2. I forgot to run the speed test last night to see if I'm actually going to bother. Next step would be to click off my overclock button and underclock my cpu to 3.2GHz

Heh- I actually removed someone from my friend's list after a day like that...I can't remember who it was, but it was getting on my last nerve. Maybe Vaiti? After I removed him I found the setting to block the announcements. Welp.

And as promised, here is the trailer:

Envrionments look amazing; it appears enormous.  Character models look overall poorly done.  Hopefully it will be fun.

[Murgos]

Well, I've loved the last three so I can't see me not getting this.

e: LA is okay, I would rather that they ventured out a little, went to Paris or London but, whatevs.

[Morfiend]

Hopefully it will be fun.

I think thats what GTA4 was missing. The fun bits. I hope they dont go for the super realistic gritty emo crap again. GTA3 are all fantastic, GTA4, blah.

[Sky]

GTA4 was a lot of fun, just not as silly.

Trailer looks good to me, but this franchise is one of the few (only?) I have on standing order.

Theory: Tommy Vercetti moves to San Andreas after 25 years in Vice City.

Seems accurate.  That sounds like his voice for sure.

[Miasma]

They should have called that a teaser not a trailer.  I wanted to know about the story and the protagonist.  All that showed me is that they continue to make graphical improvments but are still two years behind everyone else, as usual.  Which I'm fine with because it's fun and I like the story lines, when I get to hear what they are.

Note the two posts above.  I think they did, its just a bit subtle.

[Sky]

Tommy and CJ co-op? :)

Theory: Tommy Vercetti moves to San Andreas after 25 years in Vice City.

So, Tommy Vercetti is going to be playing the part of Chili Palmer?

[Sky]

That would be wicked! Gene Hackman would be an awesome npc. The main plot is to make a mob movie. Brilliant.

[Malakili]

[Mrbloodworth]

Indeed.

[luckton]

Hell, everybody's in the trailer


 

[Lakov_Sanite]

what does that sign say? I can make out "Need money for.......at least im not bullshitting u"

[rk47]

Beer. The 2nd part I can't read it.

[Sky]

Tracey Morgan plays the part of CJ?

[Hawkbit]

This is pretty awesome; GTAV trailer in GTA:SA engine.

You know, I stopped the clip at the point of the Niko-alike and rewatched it. Same deal with the CJ-guy. I think they might just be teasing us.

"Need money for beer, drugs (I think) and hookers. At least I'm not bullshitting you."

I probably wouldn't have thought much of it if I fired up SA on its own, but comparing the two makes it really damn visible.

As to Rockstar being 2 years behind everyone else: I still couldn't care less, I'm still actually contemplating buying this for my 360. Rockstar is pretty much the ONE game company which is able to get me to actually care enough to do so.
