Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

I was actually going to say exactly that.
Because 9% think it's too high, and shouldn't be cut! 9% of respondents could not fully
get their arms around the question. There should be another box you can check for, "I
have utterly no idea what you're talking about. Please, God, don't ask for my input."
If they just give us some good free-roaming co-op, ala Crackdown, I'll be happy.
That makes at least three of us.

Anyway, I wonder if by "People getting arrested," they mean "people" as in players, or "people" as in random NPCs who commit crimes. I'll be looking for this issue of the mag shortly.
On the police issue, they need a postive IQ adjustment. They just stand in the middle of the street like cannon fodder. The only thing that's challngeing is thier sheer numbers. And don't have SWAT teams fast roping fom helos right in front of me. Also, give SWAT MP5's and such as almost no police department in the US uses the Uzi anymore. Agree on the no planes, and no helicopters is not a problem as most criminals in reality don't know how to fly them, and it seems the deveopers are shooting for a more realistic GTA.
I am a freaking nerd.
I've always though part of the success of GTA is that it's just unrealistic enough that doing reprehensible things doesn't matter at all.

Because Microsoft handed them fucktons of money and announced the exclusive DLC almost a year ago at E3.

I heard somewhere that they'd both get downloadable stuff, but it would be different for each system. So both would have "exclusive" DLC. But that might have been unfounded rumor.
Which makes me a happy boy, I despised GTA:SA (it tried to be too many things and failed at each, in my opinion) and Vice City never grasped me (very poor and boring level layout).
Multiplayer also wets my pants.

Oh wow, they even had a slight Koyaanisqatsi feel to it. This really is like typifying that "the game they wanted to make" industry cliche, eh?

The GTA4 trailer looks so good I could get lost in that alone. I just hope its as immersive as they say and that entering the house mission isn't some one off. I can't wait and considering I work at a gamestore I'll get it like a day early too! Woo hoo!
As credited by who?
At least 1 urban youth magazine will call this game game of the year. But you can't really compare the groups of people who like the various games since they over lap etc. Mass Effect would have to do something very unbelevable to get the kind of attention that GTA and Halo from the media etc.
If you're referring to my post from two days ago, GOTY as credited by me.
Okay, might be a bit much. But I'm tired of the only alternatives to "road" and "grass" being an incline textured to look like stairs and the very, very occasional interior.
I want GTA to reach a point where I could see a house and think "I'll ransack that" and actually do it. Or carry out non-scripted assassinations (arrange a mission by phone to kill person x at y address at z time, without that interior being created especially for the mission). Breaking in, stealing something and leaving a "goodbye present" for the cops that show up would be really neat.
Basically Oblivion-esque in-building assassination and theft.

According to Game Informer's preview, GTA will exist entirely without load times, including any indoor environments in the game. That's at least a start to reaching something like you've described.
That's why it's one of my hopes for the game. It's a fairly major feature so if there weren't any kind of mention of something related to it I wouldn't even bother hoping for it.

I rather like the idea of a more realistic game (as long as the characteristic GTA-humour is still there of course). Though I would like to see slightly sillier retro standalone expansions (like SA, VC and the London expansions for the first game) as well.
To expand on this thought a bit, can you imagine driving around the city then some punk runs up and jacks your ride and speeds away.
I recall this (getting car jacked) happening in previous GTAs... specifically GTA3. (Especially if you're just idling in your car)
Maybe. The only time I ever really seen it was when I'd hit somebody with my car then stopped for whatever reason. The person I hit would normally run up to my car, pull me out, then drive off.
I shrugged it off and grabbed another car.
Hm, I stand corrected then.
Okay how 'bout this. Your idling at a stop light or what have you and this guy jumps into the passenger seat of your car. He points a gun at your head and tells you to drive. What follows is a timed race to a marked destination if you fail the guy with the gun kills ya or maybe you just have to lose the cops. I don't know. Just throwing ideas out there.
Heh, not sure why I am even brainstorming. Oh well.

How 'bout a mini-game involving weaving through traffic/maintaining control of the wheel while trying to get the other guy out of your car :lol:
What I always found funny is that just about everyone left their car doors unlocked. Sometimes, if the cars are parked, they might be locked, and sometimes just the driver's side.
A year and a half after the console version, if San Andreas is any indicator.
I talked about this in an earlier thread. I had an idea where you'd follow various career paths such as Hitman, raising skills like in SA but these skills you could only gain on this particular path such as an incredibly high stealth rating. So if you were tasked with killing the over-zealous chief of Police, you could actually follow his pattern over the course or a day. See him go home and waltz in there, murdering him and his wife in his sleep. Or take his car from his home or the station, rig it, bring it back and kaboom. Hell, kill him, stick him in the trunk and drive it over a cliff. Or put him in the drivers seat and fill it with booze. Though that'd be getting very detailed. Though it'd lead to Fahrenheit (The first level since the rest didn't apply it at all) levels of repercussions. Do it in their sleep and leave the wife safe, ok you;'re not as much of a butcher but she will also go out and lead a campaign to find his killers. Kill them both and you might scare other officers off at the fear of losing their families. On the other hand, make it look like a drunken accidental death and it'll just be wrote off. Though there may be a suspicious cop here or there who pushes it further.
