When the "Sin-City" rumours were flying about, I dreamt of a "Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas" kind of GTA, all glorious and seventies and stuff. And playing as a Hunter S. Thompson type character would make me happier than anything.

If anything, Rockstar will have a great GTA 6 in the "Sin City" idea, so they're good for quite awhile.

Another stupid reason to upgrade hardware?
Believe me, guys, this senseless "let's make everything 3D and nothing else than 3D" crap will stop someday. And it'll be a damn good day, IMO.

Yeah, and this Internet fad will pass soon as well.

Speaking of an avid fan of adventure games of the Sierra and LEC days, I really don't see a problem with 3D. I mean, what's the big deal? As long as the game itself is good, what's wrong with 3D? Everything is 3D nowadays and it's not going to stop. ANd upgrade hardware? My 32MB 3D video card and 256 MB of RAM are plenty for GTA:VC to run very smoothly, on its highest settings.

I really don't see the problem with having to upgrade video cards. It's been happening for some 10-odd years now, guys, having to upgrade video cards because newer games need more and more memory. It's a fact of computing that that will happen. Pretty soon I myself will have to upgrade, and I'm okay with that because it's a necessity.

I'd like a GTA 1950 type. or 1890... Wonder how that would be? Steal the chariots! go 20mph! "Hijack" a horse! Get hung!

GTA7: A day in the life of a caveman. Rockstar could make anything and people would buy it. Personaly I cant wait til they have a GTA lan setting, or internet missions or something. Now that would be fun. Just like a real mob.

GTA 8: BedRock City.
Just can't wait to get my hands to this cool Flintstones car... and running around with a grandfather of baseball bats.

.. we haven't had GTA4 yet .. (vice was not 4)

Evil · Sun 28/03/2004 21:52:09

Holy crap! I'm making a Flintstones car right now!!!

Puddin' - I've tried arguing that in the past and ultimatley it's just a worthless argument.

Vice was the fourth GTA release, and something tells me they won't number GTAs from now on. They'll simply name the game after the city. The only reason why gta3 should be named anything other than 'Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City' is that they built a new engine, etc.

but there won't be a gta4 anytime soon to confuse with vice, agreed?

Haddas · Mon 29/03/2004 14:33:32

There are: Gta, Gta london 1969, Gta 2, Gta 3, Gta Vice City. There are 5!

Evil · Mon 29/03/2004 22:28:07

Isnt there two versions of 1?

Privateer Puddin' · Mon 29/03/2004 22:31:56

GTA4 will come with new tech (probably next next gen consoles (ps3 etc), i'm sure

even · Tue 30/03/2004 01:34:34

Right you are, but seeing as how Sony plans for the PS2 to last more than a decade, specifying between GTA Vice and GTA4 probably won't make a difference until 2009.

TerranRich · Tue 30/03/2004 03:35:30

Yeah, we live in the age of insane numbering systems. GTA stopped being numbered after 3, so the entire argument is pointless. Then again, it might be a popular tendency to call Vice City GTA4, so let's all just jump on board the bandwagon, shall we?

LGM · Tue 30/03/2004 05:09:40

GTA has registered Trademarks and Copyrights for the names and abbreviations of "Grand Theft Auto (GTA) 4 and 5 (As well as San Andreas, duh).. So either they are meant as working titles that can't be used by anyone else, or they're eventually going to make a 4 and 5.

So let's not continue fighting about this and let's just go on and play "GTA: One-Horse Town" and kill that damn sherrif for the thousandth time!

YEEE HAW

Hate bringing up this thread but... oh t'heck with it.

I've recently got san andreas for the PC. And I had loads of fun playing it. I love the athmosphere, everything. I especially love how I got it for the PC instead of any other platform, because of the mod possibilities. I've tried several mods already. Had loads of fun with them too. Favourite at the moment is the "get CJ high and drunk" mod. Which is not that impressive really, but if you've played through the game you know how much of a prissy goody-two shoes gangsta he is concidering all his other crimes. http://www.shadowreality.co.uk/images/13/untitled1.jpg oh how I love that moment.

Basically. I'm asking what everyone else finally thought of the game and how you played through it.

I also searched for san andreas and found no topic, so sorry if anyone is really angry at me right now :/

Every forum has GTA: SA topic, no matter whatever the forum is about.

I didn't enjoy SA as much as Vice City, but as a hardcore GTA fan, I played patiently through it. Many things annoyed me, but there were good parts aswell.

Like easier missions. This game was half as difficult than other gtas.
Then again, some missions were unexplainably difficult, driving & flying school, anyone? Plane hijack mission? etc. They were completeable only when you had failed them fifty times and experienced enough during failure to do it.

I admit modding game in 2 missions and cheating once:

In the mission where fat guy shoots 4 enemies on train, well, using game's language, this nigga can't shoot for shit.
So, I modified weapons.cfg so TEC9 so the bullets killed almost instantly. It was much easier then.

In plane hijacking mission, i got tired of running whole route again and again to board the plane and fail, so I modded plane's speed handling.cfg to make plane meet other one faster and get some time to maneuver.

The mission in driving school, where you have to drive against time and keep car in mint condition was a bit easier using "less traffic" cheat code.

Once again, Rockstar decided to give main character mega weird personality, the guy kills hundreds of innocent people and still acts like some kind of hero... it's frightening.

The "film effect" thingy that they used in Manhunt (an excellent game, i must say) which was used for rainy weather in GTA:SA is a real annoyance, it slows computer down much and can't be disabled. I hated this the most.

as a hardcore Driver and DRIV3R fan, i have to say that in the War between the GTA and Driver Series, they both come out on top in given fields. For example on one hand, Driver has been 3D straight from the start, but on the other, GTA has been around for longer. And on one hand, GTA:SA has loads and loads of weapons, but on the other, DRIV3R is more realistic as in real life, you wouldn't go outside and learn how to drive an Army Copter in about half an hour, nor would you find a purple dildo in your local police station to use as a weapon. But then, the Gta series has always been pretty tongue in cheek. But, like i said there is definitely a war between them, as viewed by 'The Driver' mission in GTA3.
