I, personally, would rather play GTA and GTA II than its fancy-assed three dimensional cousins any day of the week.

GTA and Vice City were worth playing, three was ok and two was unbearably bad.

[jetbaby]

Two was much like Fallout 2. Enjoyable,, but... not nearly a match for the original. GTA 3 was a joke. Vice City was the exact same thing, but with content.

[CloudNineGT]

Don’t even compare the two, GTA II played like non-pliable shit.

[jetbaby]

...do you remember Fallout 2?

[Megatron]

yea it's pretty good

I think it'd due for release in oktober (22/10 in europe) ?

If the 3 citites are as fleshed out as the single cities so far I'll be liek LOL

[avenger69ie]

you need to eat in this one to live, eat too much and dont pedal on the bmx, you become a fat bastard, and the pedestrians give you shit for it... now that sounds fun

[S4ur0n27]

I wanan ride teh bike yo.

I can't believe you gotta be black. I hope you can choose an alternate storyline in which you're a nazi or something.

or Ichi the killer?

Sure, the guy in my avatar too.

And I'd play GTA 1 and 2 before these new ones too.

THAT is an improvment and it sounds great.

[Nicolai]

hah, that'll be great
I wonder on if you can make your character so fat that he won't fit inside the smaller cars, and will be unable to ride bikes/mopeds/MCs.
Now thatwould be pretty fucking cool.




(and btw: GTA 2 beats the hell out of GTA 3)

[S4ur0n27]

Do pedestrians beat you up for being fat?

[atoga]

Yeah, it's out in October.

GTA2 was brilliant. Totally mindless, madman stuff.

[S4ur0n27]

That's why it was brilliant.

[avenger69ie]

the isometric one? surely not, as an idea the first game was great, the second was the dreaded similar sequel with some nice fmv before you get to teh crap style gameplay... the best thing about gta2 was killing the pedestrians, same as all of them, gta3 was far nice to play, or even to look at, whereas vice city was similar, it had some extra's such as being able to swipe bikes etc.. but the overall best bit of GTAVC was the soundtrack, and imho its the best gta game to date, hands down.

anyway, thats just my opinion, you all have yours, and i understand that, i just wanna make sure its the isometric one.

[S4ur0n27]

I guarantee the multiplayer mode of GTA2 is funner than GTA3 or VC.

------------------------

Game Informer has a 10-page San Andreas preview showing now at E3. Every point here is all confirmed and official from the early release of Game Informer. The magazine has 12 screenshots.

General
- The game is more serious than the others, but the elements of comedy are still there.
- A full staff of reasearch personnel at Rockstar have been studying Las Vegas, San Diego, and Los Angeles for months to ensure that they truly capture the feelings of these cities.

Location
- The game will not take place in Los Angeles, San Francisco, or Las Vegas. It will take place IN ALL THREE as well as the countryside in between.
- Los Angeles will be called Los Santos, San Francisco will be called San Fieero, and Las Vegas will be called Las Venturra.
- Each city is about the same size as Vice City.
- Not all cities will be open at the start of the game.
- The entire game will be about four to six times as large as Vice City.
- San Fierro (San Francisco) will have hills. This city is more driving based.
- You can drive from LA, through the countryside, up a mountain, into San Fran, and onto Las Vegas.
- Driving through the desert won’t be empty and plain with a couple cacti...it will be vibrant and alive with weird things to see.
- There will be a lot more buildings with open interiors.

Graphics
- The graphics engine has been tweaked. Smog will be present in LA, and real-time reflections on cars, windows, and mirrors, as well as new techniques like radial lighting, which allows for more realistic shadowing, and soft-shadow lighting for interior levels will be present.
- Everything in the game now has independent models for day and night to give better lighting and shadowing.
- The game will have ragdoll physics, or “impact animation� in Rockstar’s words.

Vehicles
- As for vehicles, there will be pimped-out lowriders, and 90’s versions of some GTA3/VC cars will return.
- There will be bicycles.

Story
- Characters from the past will return.

Gameplay
- In the Las Vegas city, you will be able to buy and build a casino - and then run it.
- You can then gamble your money in the casino.
- Your character can dual wield pistols and potentially other weapons.
- You need to eat to retain your stamina. If you eat too much fast food, you become fat and pedestrians mock you for being fat. You also run slower. To remedy this, you can go to a gym to exercise.
- You can now rob homes. The robberies will require skill and planning, however.
- You can recruit gang members and use them to do four person drive-by’s. (seen here)

Weapons
- The choice of weapons will match the time in which the era of the early 90's.

Artificial Intelligence
- Enemy/pedestrian AI will be greatly revamped and they will think more logically. You can't beat someone to death in broad daylight and not have people notice and react.
- Your enemies will be smarter, which will make robbing houses take a lot of skill.

Music
- There will be a rap station, but there will be a variety of other stations as always.

I cant belive it took them... five tries to finally put in swimming.

i cant believe they think having to eat is going to make people not totally hate the game.

[jetbaby]

Black people don't need food or rest, what the hell is that? They just need guns, knives, hookers, and drugs. Throw in an occasional shootout and it's all good, dawg.

On a more serious note, I don't see how making a stereotypical game about "Black America" will sell. Maybe the first four games were deemed as "blatantly racist" and politically incorrect. Whatever their reasons, I think this is "Ludicris." Oh, the rap humor, oh the rap humor. (May EVERY god bless you all when you boot up the sound track.)

Yeah the eating sounds a bit shitty. Too much micro-management.
