That stream is pretty laggy, I could only watch it for a minute or two. However, there does appear to be a bullet-time (braking-time?) feature available while driving.
The guy streaming nearly lost control of his vehicle on a highway, then everything went into slomo and he was able to correct course between two other cars. It looked sick, and will really allow for some great precision handling.
yeah each character has a unique power. franklin has the slomo driving, micheal has slomo shooting, and trevor has a rampage mode where he deals more damage and takes less as well
First bit of freedom I get in the game, I'm going to cruise around Vinewood while listening to this. Just a slow cruise, looking at landmarks and the pedestrians.

See, this is the time where I panic that the game won't arrive on launch day (amazon says its dispatching now but the weather forecast is awful for Sunday and bad for Monday). If it doesn't it means I have a lovely five day stretch before my next day off work. Ahhhh, waiting for physical copies of games. How I have not missed you in the slightest.

I preordered at Gamestop for the extra-ridiculous edition plus the midnight release. Amazon is kinda dodgy about release date delivery, in my experience.

Aye, if I lived somewhere with a shop nearby I'd definitely just be buying it from there but unfortunately (well, in this instance) I live on a wee island so got to be postal.

Holy shit. This feed. The guy is in a two star police chase on the interstate and I just watched a cop car doing a really decent job of trying to box him in.
i preordered from rockstar warehouse for the free KIFFLOM tshirt, which is extra appropriate for me since i kinda have a birthmark on my face. i'm hoping their release date shipping is reliable
also some dude on reddit has been playing for a while and posted some initial impressions. nothing spoilery in this so it's safe to read
- The driving feels great. Its a bit awkward at first but you get used to it real fast. Cars turns/grips much better to the road compared to GTA IV. Acceleration/topspeed is slightly slower so far, but i have not upgraded anything on the vehicles so that might change.
- The whole map is unlocked at the start it seems. I drove what felt like forever and never found any invisible walls or the like. The map is so huge.
- Money seems hard to come bye compared to earlier versions. 20 missions in and i would be broke if it weren't for a random event. Not gonna spoil what i found/saw/did, but i basically got 100 000 for doing 5 seconds of work.
- I don't remember how the nudity were in GTAIV, but you can see fully uncensored beg emerican teetes at the strip club
- The city feels so alive. I seen more cops fighting crooks, thiefs, carjacking, fights etc than i ever did in GTAIV. You can help people getting robbed, or even rob stores yourself if you want.
Yea. He's been listening to the country station pretty nonstop. At first I thought it was because was was in Shady Springs (or w/e it's called). It looks like he's just doing police chases. At one point he was doing a really good job of evading them in a luggage cart.
He's been showing off Franklin's special too. . .it doesn't look like it will totally kill the challenge of driving, but it looks crazy useful.

This feed is amazing.
I grabbed a screencap of the skyline:
I cannot believe this is running on a current gen console.

Yeah. The fact that Rockstar managed to get a game this nice looking and this big on current gen tech has convinced me that they employ wizards.

Good wizards, too. Proper top-of-the-class ones. Your average wizard would still struggle with this.

You call this a weapon report?! *waves a wand* I JUST CLEANED OUT YOUR DESK.
If you're close to a distribution center, they won't ship until Sunday or Monday.
I live near the one in Ontario, CA, and they always ship the day before.
So I've been watching spoilers and I don't recommend it. I'm not going to stop because I have no self control. Most of it's just people screwing around not doing actual story missions anyway. I can't wait until this game comes out:). I'm gonna get it on the ps3. This will most likely be the last game I purchase for the ps3.

Yeah, some mail-order copies have already been sent out (mine hasn't but I've got my fingers crossed for Monday)
Maybe I've been spoiled, but I think I'm going to be disappointed by the inability to drop-kick my way into a car.
I may not be able to hold out for pc version.....

Hm. Upgrades.

With what the rest of the game contains, for that to bother me, really seems silly.
