I was going to say I'd have to avoid Podtoid this week. Then I came to my sense and remembered they don't talk about video games. :pac:



Oh you're definitely not crazy. It's the little things that push a game from being good to great, and from great to being a game you can play for years.

I loved the sound doors made when you ran through them in IV... I loved the little music that played in the menus... I loved that you could call EMS and they'd actually show up...

Those are all inconsequential things, but they combine to make the entire experience so much better.

Podtoid, Jesus that's a word I haven't heard in a long time! Ha, amazing its still going!

But I agree about Rockstars attention to details. In all their games, RDR in particular, the subtle nuances take the games from being good games to great ones. From what I'm reading about the new game, it's been taken to new heights.

What I dont get is why are they charging people €65 for it, including myself, when they seem to be selling it for €60 on the day

just rang gamestop, their instore price is different to their online price. 65 for standard edition or 75 for the special edition will be going in tomorrow to upgrade myself! online they are both a fiver cheaper (no overheads i presume) i cant wait for this game so much i actually just want to spend the day looking at the spoiler thread!!!

as an aside how does one safely use the spoiler thing where it blacks out the words???oh hang on (not an actual spoiler at all at all

Anyone play Peking Duckhunt on Rockstar website? well addictive!

is anybody else just suddenly not feelin the hype for game im just not excited at all anymore even though i was for like 2 years like its just a game

Hell no, heard two people with zero interest in gaming in general talking about it at work, the tv ads are on, there's a huge billboard near where I live, you'll probably see ads in the cinema soon for it. We're into waiting for Santa "can't this week just end!" territory now

Last night I dreamt my preorder copy got lost in the post.

All Ive worried about the last 2 years is getting GTA 5 and my little man of course, who in time will be a GTA fan!

So the answer to your above statement is EH NO

Why do you have your neighbour's cats? :pac:

Cause he's a cat burglar...

Hmmm, now where did I leave my coat...

I know I have said this before but I am worried about peoples unrealistic expectations of the quality of the graphics in this game.

Remember, this is an aging console stretched to its limit in this game. In order to use such a large map with the level of detail they mention and with lots going on there will have to be corners cut.

I never trust early screenshots, especially those coming from the game producers themselves. The so called 'gameplay video' was cleverly edited with cutscenes throughout. To me most of the screenshots are from cutscenes rather than gameplay and will most likely have been 'touched up' for any anomalies.

While I am not saying the graphics will be bad, I am saying that from reading through this and other forums some people are going to be slightly dissapointed. This will be no Uncharted 2 in terms of graphics!

There was a scene in the multiplayer scene were some guys run up to the Los Santos Government building (I think) and hide behind cars in a shoot out before taking down a guy on the roof. It struck me at the time that the textures for the road and the building itself were quite poor.

Having said that, it will be a hell of a game and thats the important thing.

I was playing GTA IV recently and I had 4/5 stars and the FIB were after me in their trucks. A load of them came on screen at once and there was a very visible few jumps in the screen until I got out of there. I dont know if that is down to how the game was developed or the PS3 hardware...im assuming it was down to the game?

I can live with untextured roads on GTA online

Whatcha talkin bout Willis?

IV isn't exactly bad looking, even now, I think V looks perfectly fine, especially for a game this size on a 7 year old console. Long as it's a blast to play then any graphical shortcomings can be overcome, and some of the ingame stuff does look gorgeous to be fair,especially the countryside.

GTA IV on PS3 doesn't look very pretty in todays standards but I think a lot of that has to do with it being so dark, brown and grey. I turned Brightness in the in-game settings nearly up to full and it made it more bearable. Really looking forward to the brightness of San Andreas. If if it had the same graphics, will make the word much better to look at.
