I think the map will be thiiiis biiiiiig. *extends arms out to maximum reach* Prove me wrong.

^^ What he said. Look, BP, I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm saying there are too many unknowns involved for you to insist that you're right. A for effort, though. That's some in-depth analysis.

Yeah, Holden exports the Caprice to U.S and Canadian police departments. I'm not certain if the LAPD picked them up, though. All I want is a larger variety of engine sounds. And this

Hey pud, you make it sound like the first person camera is the same lens type for gta iv and the v trailer. They probably have a slider to control camera lenses in game. Which makes things difficault to judge. You can't assume the first person camera is for example, always a 15mm lens, that'd just be guessing. Perspective does play a part in judging a distance too. Focal length & feild of view can drastically alter the size of a distant object from image to image. I know you coule calculate the height of an object based on real world object scales, but that's still not accurate. I'm not dismissing your efforts, as we can all see just by watching the trailer and looking at pics, that it seems like a fairly small city.

I just shat. voted for VC

hmm...

I could pick the shit out of this but that's a whole 'nother discussion. Subways are trains anyway. <-- jizzed pants when tractor trailers were shown. Dude, seriously? They haven't added bike lanes all over the place for nothing. That's in the running for "most stupid post of the year". Even saying "there's no motorcycles in NYC" or "there's no tractor trailers in NYC" would have been slightly smarter (but still completely wrong for either). Indeedy.

***WARNING: Wall Of Text Spoiler Alert*** Interesting article from PFT....

Actually, they do use bicycles in New York City, it's a quick, cheap, and easy form of transportation. Also there is a difference between a Main Battle Tank and an Armored Personnel Carrier. There are trains that go through New York but it's the suburbs and wouldn't have mattered because it didn't fit into the gamestyle of IV. The parachute was added in late when it could've been in at the beginning. Also the APC was added late so it wasn't in GTA IV. It was in the DLC for it. Also there was only a parachute in TBoGT. Also you're flame really sucked. I didn't read the whole bitch fight just the last two posts. Either way this is the Shit list thread.

Okay first off there wern't planes because the map wasn't big enough to use them. There were "helis' what the hell are you talking about. Trains: There was a subway. They dont use trains is New york tard. Who the fuck cares about "towing trucks and trailers". Operating cranes to lift things; Your serieusly telling me you would use a crane to lift things in a video game. now i can see if it was for a mission but just for fun? that would be a waste of space. Bikes: They dont use bikes in New York. Imagine trying to use a bike in Algonquin..... Gaining muscle: i always thought of that bieng a little dumb. And besides IV was alot more about haracter developmest with Niko thats why there wasnt' as much customization. Clothes: are you saying Niko ran around naked? 37 safehouses; again the map wasn't big enough and it wasn't needed anyway. And besides most of the safehouses in san andreas were just copy and paste interiors. Tanks: there was a APC in TBOGT.... parachute; there was a parachute in TBOGT too. You need to get your facts down retard. casinos: wtf??? Its fuckin NEW YORK!!!! And Gang wars; you must not have played TLAD...... You my friend are officially the village idiot. Congrats.

Was talking to Ast. Poor fella can't grow a single shred of face fuzz. The raised eyebrow really sets your beard off, though. You SML-winning motherfucker. *Doesn't actually remember who won*

I shit on any FPS besides Far Cry.

4 player coop for the PC! Oh and be able to import your music from your hard drive to the game's radio. I can think of a ton of ideas, but I don't feel like typing them all right now.

I shit on Halo.

I remember before GTA San Andreas even came out there were like a hundred 0 ratings on Metacritic for it from all the jealous Xbox Fanboys. It was a truly epic game and one of if not the best experiences I had on the PS2 and in gaming in general. I was still in High School at the time it came out and became so absorbed in it's world I had to take a couple of weeks off from school just to satiate my apatite for it. It's just great when you go into a game with zero expectations only to be blown away. These days it seems to be the opposite. Ofcourse it's hard to go back to it now as a previous poster implied. But it's like that with gaming in general. Everything advances so much it's hard to go back to the old graphics and mechanics which were later improved upon. But at the time it had know real competition to it's dominance as the #1 game. I mean who even remembers Halo 2, it was just another generic shooter. But San Andreas was something special.

I don't want a boss style antagonist that orders around everyone. I want the antagonist to have a purpose. Hard life, you can feel for his pain although he's the bad guy. Maybe his hard life led him to what he is. It would make the story interesting.

I think the best villans are the ones that fuck your character over so badly that you actually want to murder them. Not just for completion sake, but when you genuinely want to kill the cunt. That's why the main antagonist should be introduced later in the game once you have a connection to your character. They don't have to be memorable like Joker, just complete cunts.

I'm putting this here....... and I guess I'll share this one too... Approximate Los Santos map: approximate map work in progress.
