New news! Supposed achievements, spoiler'd for protecting the virgin eyes.
Let Sleeping Rockstars Lie 10G
Kill a Rockstar developer in a ranked multiplayer match.
What?
That potentially awesome, if it is what I think it is!
Depends on their classification of Rockstar Developer. R* north only? worldwide? just development, management etc?
Potentially it is thousands of gamertags for that achievement.
Unless it is viral like the Project Gotham one (which incidentally, I got actually playing some Bizzare guys) then it'll spread like wildfire.
What do you mean "viral like PG"? What did PG have and why was it viral?
I think that if you raced against (or beat, I'm not really sure) a Bizarre Creations employee, you got an achievement. After you got it, anyone that raced against you (again, not sure if winning was required or not) would also get the achievement. That way it spread.
Mind you, I think that's actually kind of dumb. I like it when there are achievements that not everyone and their mom can get.
The latest issue of Australian magazine ZOO contains photographs of one of their journalists playing GTA IV on a large TV screen. As expected, the HUD is minimal, and the only thing that's permanently visible is the radar. The radar is surrounded by two semi-circles representing health and armour. Everything on the radar is translucent except for the roads. Things like weapons and wanted stars only appear when you are changing weapons or when you obtain a wanted level, we presume.
So, another 80s themed GTA after this one? Or maybe a 70s themed one! They haven't done that time period yet.
Seems premature, I know. But while GTA 3 was fucking amazing, Vice City was definately my favourite of the bunch and improved vastly on the initial game.
*snip*
I mean someday there probably will be a GTA that's every bit as detailed as Mass Effect. To expect that in 2008 though is pretty dumb.
*snip*
I dunno what you mean by detail, but the only thing mass effect had going for it was it's story/ conversation options. Animations were complete shit (the way the main character runs? lol )
What's the deal with that? It reminds me of Mercenaries where you can unlock the Harrison Ford skin but if you're playing as the girl, he looks weird, because the animation is still using the girly running animation. Maybe they accidentally used the female character animations for the male playable character?
I think they mighta already. Somewhere in that vicinity.
That was my point, they did it for GTA1. GTA1 had Liberty City, Vice City and San Andreas, then an expansion (maybe two) in London, 1969. They did Liberty, Vice and SA on the GTA3 engine, so I kinda want them to do London on GTAIV, which I think they might now since this Liberty City is apparently far closer to real-life NYC than they've done before.
There was that GTA rip-off that did London a few years ago. The Getaway or something. But yeah, it's odd actually - London is the only 'real' city that has ever been in a GTA game.
Set it in the early 90s. Joy Division, Stone Roses, Inspiral Carpets, The Smiths and The Happy Mondays on the soundtrack. Have missions like "Get to the Haçienda without being stabbed" and "See a man in the Northern Quarter about a dog"

Yep, they were The Getaway, and they weren't bad. There were two games on the Playstation 2, including a PSP one, and the third is being made for the Playstation 3. They had atmosphere down pat, but the gameplay was a little lacking; it had some problems. It was still fun, and I enjoyed driving like a sociopath through the streets of London in one of those buses, smashing into on-coming traffic and having people shoot through their windshields. Hopefully they'll have the third one fine-tuned. I'm pretty eagerly awaiting it as is.

I'd love another UK-based GTA, but I wonder how much international appeal it would have.

I don't know why they don't do Edinburgh already. They're always sneaking little bits of Edinburgh into the other games and it's got a little bit of everything you'd ever want in a GTA anyway.

The only thing about the animations in Mass Effect that I didn't like was how the people you talked to would always turn to their right and walk away at the end of the conversation. It just looked weird. They all did that. But I digress.
It's funny, or perhaps sad, that you mother fuckers keep going in conversation circles about this game. WHICH SYSTEM IS IT BETTER ON WHICH CONTROLLER IS DLC IMPORTANT THE GRAPHICS ARE SHIT WHICH SYSTEM IS IT BETTER ON WHICH CONTROLLER IS DLC IMPORTANT THE GRAPHICS ARE SHIT, etc., etc. :P
Yeah I was talking about the level of detail, and amount of recources that can be allocated to making small but very prettified levels like the Citadel.

I think GTA: ATLANTIS is the only feasible direction the series can take.
"Press Y to Hi-jack giant sea-horse."
" Aqua-man is after you! Avoid him by swimming to the Kelp Farms!"
Aww yeahh.
That's a city, township, village thing, right? Right?
I'd know, but up in Canukistan we only talk about Russia and Quebec, so my geographical know-how-to-target-with-an-intercontinental-explosive-beaver is limited.
Manchester!
-edit-
Why is it that I came up with Manchester without reading the previous page? What is it about Manchester that causes us to pick it out of all the rest? Do thoughts of Beefy McManmeat and Rockhard Slabchest killing Doctor Freud in the lagoon with a Bowlex simply overwhelm our feeble little minds?

And yes, I know there were GTA games before 3.
I'm guessing because there will only be one more GTA game this generation they will make it something pretty wild, like neotokyo or something.
"Lowest Point?"
I was praying, praying, that we would have a GTA storyline that didn't revolve around betrayal. Oh well, next time maybe.

And I will follow up by hoofing you square in the money maker afterwards.

Satans..... hints.....
If you've never been there, the drivers are sufficiently dumb enough to give the residents of San Andreas a run for their money.
Minus the gun culture and rampant crime sprees.

Fixed. See, cos H is for Horse.
I mean the type of horse that Robin Hood would ride, not the type of horse that you're average modern day Nottingham resident fires into his veins.
But that works too, I guess.
Wait, why? What just happened in Nottingham?

Mass Effect is very horribly animated though.

This is where mine was good, because it's not a real location!
But yeah, let's not do the "my local city would be best!" game. It's no fun.
I still need to get Condemned 2 now to tide myself over until this comes out.
Alll byyy myyyseeeeellff
Seriously, who the hell will even give Saints Row 2 a shot with GTA4 out?
