Are they putting too much emphasis on staying alive in the game? I dont like the idea of being forced to have to eat and excersize regularly in the game just so that my char. can keep going with missions and whatnot.

But other then that, looks good.

mm I dunno about the eating thing... I guess it could be nifty...

I like that they've made the change from the mafia and such to GANGSTAZZZZ.... And hopefully it's more than just a cosmetic change (meaning it doesn't feel like the mafia with black ghetto doodz)...

And I love the sound of the mountains, countryside, and 3 seperate cities, but how is the scale going to work out? Will mountains seem like mountains? How long will it take to drive through the country to another city?

Swimming yay, bikes yay...

I wonder what kind of songs from the 90s the game will include...

And the new abilities to start a gang, run a casino, etc sound awesomely cool...

AWESOMELY COOL THE WHOLE GAME SOUNDS AWESOMELY COOL I want it now...

If this is infact true

Seriously though, this sounds fan-freaking-tastic.

...ok...and who said they needed bycicles and swimming?!?!?!ME!!.....eating sounds nifty too i do wholeheartedly agree..

I like how they are trying to make it more real, where you can break-and-enter/eat/ride bikes and swim(finally)...

And the game sounds massive...if its not being lied to us all..so if this one is so good....why wasnt Vice City nearly as good as this will be?

Release date?

I agree 100%. The eating/health factor is really going to suck. I want to focus soley on missions and shooting and stuff. I don't care about his health or food habits but now I'll be forced which takes a big chunck out of the fun factor. Meh, I'll just bypass the dumb food factor with some cheats. I don't have time for that wasteful factor.

Dylflon · 05-13-2004, 06:39 PM

I'll embrace eating and staying fit.

Typhoid · 05-13-2004, 06:41 PM

Can you do pedal by bike shootings? Then pedal away into the distance?....And how is this game for realism?...like bullethole wise, (ex:In Driv3r every bullet hole appears on the car) is it like that in this one?

I think the eating/staying healthy/gang/swimming/gambling additions are awesome!!

eeeexactly

This game sounds amazing. It seems like they've added enough features for this to not be the same kind of dissapointment that occured from GTA 3 to Vice City for me. I'm excited.

Those screens look awesome, but I'm afraid they may be hyping features up more than they should...

I loved VC, but before the game's release, they made indoor enviornments and a number of other things sound a lot better than they were...

House break-ins? Are you actually going to have to sneak around, break into the house, look for valuables, etc?

Or is it gonna be a thing where you activate something to break into a house, you dissapear for a short while, then you come back out and the cops are after you? Because obviously not every house is going to have an interior all programmed out for it...

Like in VC they said YOU CAN ROB STORES!!! Which sounds a lot better than "Point your gun at a clerk and money appears"...
