    It was nice to see Kojima being so humble when he was talking about GTA V and Rockstar. It's good to see that he has respect for other Developers. I'm sure that MGS 5 will turn out to be just as good as all the other Metal Gears. It's already a day one purchase for me, and should be one of the best games on Nex-Gen Hardware in 2014.

    I have 2 questions for you. 1) What's is it with you and Bel-Air? 2) What Drugs are you on?

    3 Houses for 3 Protagonists ( 1 for Michael, 1 for Franklin, and 1 for Trevor ). As TreeFitty pointed out the White Safehouse Icon changes position on the mini-map in the Gameplay Vid, South for Franklin's home, and West for Michaels. And we already know the location of their homes, so it makes sense that the white house icon represents each individual protags home. So whichever character you are currently playing has their home represented as white, while the other 2 protags homes are coloured black on the mini-map. Pretty simple really.

    Couldn't you smoke Blunts in GTA San Andreas. And if you don't know what a Blunt is. It's a Cigar hollowed out and filled with Marijuana, sometimes topped off with a sprinkle of Cocaine. *EDIT ~ My mistake, it's not actually in the original game. It was a Mod I was using for the PC version...

    I hope that there are Special Cars and Motorbikes hidden around the map, waiting for you to stumble upon them and take them for a spin. Like a Super Car hidden in a garage in some expensive Mansion, or a Custom Motorbike hidden in a cave with a hidden entrance ( overgrown with bushes/ vines ), a Submarine attached with weapons hidden in an underwater cave, etc.

    I was just reading an old article from the Official Xbox Magazine, talking about their preview where they asked some very specific questions ( more so than a lot of the other Game Sites/ Magazines ). The most interesting of which was talking about the 3 character's Stats and Abilities ( I.E. Shooting, Strength, Lung Capacity etc. ). Where they said something about points which you can spend on upgrades. Here is an excerpt ~ <[ Such pleasures can be experienced with any of the three characters, although their prowess will differ. Each character has a set of vital statistics which list their ability in (deep breath) shooting, strength, stealth, flying, driving, mechanical ability and lung capacity. These are all boosted by practice, Skyrim-style, which gives you points to spend on upgrades - although each of them comes with certain strengths as standard. Ex-pilot Trevor has the edge in flying, so he's the best choice if you want to knock off a helicopter. You can still do it with Franklin, but it'll be harder to fly. ]> Here is a Link to the article ~ http://www.oxm.co.uk...preview/?page=1 Now when they were comparing the skills to that of Skyrim, were they talking about skills influencing gameplay in general? Or were they talking about skill trees and actual perks? To me they made it sound like there was some kind of Skill Tree associated with the Skill Stats and Abilities, where perks/ upgrades could be selected to further enhance your character. What do you guys think, Am I insane? or is this possible?

    There is no way that I'm going through all of the previews, articles and videos to look for the info. It would take me ages. I'm 70% sure I remember hearing about Bears somewhere ( I think it might of been in one of the CVG Videos ). And even if I didn't, it's still very possible that they will be in the game. The real life National Parks around Los Angeles have Bears, so logic dictates that they will be one of the animals in the game.

    Very Interesting. So we'll have only limited access to each of the characters at the beginning of the game. It sounds like a good idea, and means that Rockstar will have better control over what we are exposed too in the beginning portions of the game ( with a more focused introduction ). Then once we have a better handle on all 3 characters, and the new game mechanics. Rockstar takes away all restrictions and gives us free-reign to decide what we do from then on. This decision should make getting unrestricted control over the three characters all the more rewarding...

    Mad Max

    BlackSox9 replied to CaPn bOnEs's topic in Other Games

    I wonder whether Mad Max's Game World will be reminiscent of Australia. We have some interesting locations in the Outback. Like Devils Marbles ~ And The Olgas ~ Tennant Creek Hot Springs ~ The Bungle Bungles ~ The Lost City ~
  12. BlackSox9
    Crocodiles in North America? Sure maybe if there was a Zoo, or a pet store where you can buy exotic pets. But otherwise I doubt that we'll see Australian/ Asian or African Crocodiles...
  13. BlackSox9
    Maybe the number 15 was lost in translation and didn't refer to wild animals at all. Maybe it implies how many different types of pets you can own, who knows? Because 15 seems like a bit of a low number. Unless they only have one species of fish other than sharks, and only one species of bird. The animals we know about so far are: Sharks ( at least one species ), bears, cougars, deer, birds ( at least one species ) and dogs. How many more possible species/ animals could there be? Maybe wolves, different species of fish, whales or dolphins, snakes, what else could there potentially be? *EDIT ~ They said that there were 15 species ( not animals ) in the article, so there will probably be multiple Birds, Sharks, Fish etc.

    The War's already been won by the PS3. It's time for the Next-Gen War, Xbox One Vs PlayStation 4............. Ready, Fight!

    You could get into the prison in GTA lV as well, all you needed was a helicopter. But that's not really the same as interaction. Interaction would involve some kind of game mechanic like serving jail time locked in a cell, and being shot if you try to escape. I reckon they could make serving jail time into a good little mini-game. Kind of like Rockstar's Bully, but set in a prison. So instead of bullies trying to beat you up, you have gang members trying to stab you. And instead of cheerleader's and girlfriend mechanics, you could have fun times in the showers not trying to get raped. There could also be drug dealing as well, and maybe even some missions for rival prison gangs...

    I didn't know that you could serve prison time in TLAD.

    Mad Max

    Same, I want fun too. But if it degenerates into another Aliens Colonial Marines, it won't be fun. Info about Aliens: CM ~ Aliens Colonial Marines came out in February 2013, and was probably one of the biggest disappointments in the last couple of years. It was touted as the spiritual successor to Aliens ( the movie directed by James Cameron ). But turned out to be one of the most generic pieces of shit ever to be spawned in the Game Industry. Some disgruntled gamers even started a lawsuit saying that the Developers deliberately misrepresented what the final version of the game would actually be like. With a totally different Demo experience ( much better than the original game ), and heavily pre-rendered trailers which gave the game a much more polished look and feel then what was actually in the final game. I was dumb enough to buy this game, and got a massive dose of buyers remorse as a reward. After which it's not surprising to say that I became extra careful about future purchases. Aliens Colonial Marines Metacritic PS3 Userscore: 3.3/ 10.0 I don't think Mad Max will be as bad ( for a game inspired from a movie ). I just feel pessimistic that it can live up to it's source material ( The Road Warrior is a Classic ). At least it's being made by the creators of Just Cause 1 & 2.

    You hit the nail right on the head, because what you're looking at in the screenshot IS A PRISON ..... I wonder whether it will be like the Correctional Facility in GTA lV, where there was little, to no interaction with it other than the couple of missions for Gerry McReary. Maybe this time you can actually serve a sentence in the Prison, and try to break out before serving your full sentence. Maybe even pulling some hits for the various Prison Gangs to earn some extra money.

    Mad Max

    I saw the "where's Mel Gibson?!" comment on YouTube too, it's the top comment right now, and is most definitely a joke. I don't really care if it's voiced by an Australian either ( and it's way too expensive to use Mel Gibson ). Plus most people don't even know that in Mad Max 2 " The Road Warrior", and Mad Max 3 "Beyond The Thunderdome" he was told to suppress his thick Australian accent, after the bad American accent dub of the original Mad Max. So I wouldn't mind an Australian putting on a bit of an American accent in the game, just like in the Mad Max movies. And the reason why I said it looked kind of average so far, was because of the bland landscapes, the crappy character models, the V8 interceptor didn't look right ( I think that's because of the customization mechanics for Max's car which are said to be in the game ). The hand to hand combat looked average ( seen it before ), same with the boring gunplay. Overall I wasn't thoroughly impressed by what I saw. Nothing stood out when compared to past games as exceptional ( like other post-apocalyptic games like Fallout, Borderlands, or even Rage ). I just hope that the Dev's step up their game a bit, because they have great source material at their fingertips, and I don't want another mishandling of a classic movie like we saw with Aliens Colonial Marines ( remember that looked great in the Trailers as well ).

    I can't understand why some people seem to think the driving in the gameplay vid was arcadey. It looked very much improved upon GTA lV's handling and driving physics. And this is coming from someone who plays a shit ton of racing games. Just wait and see guys, V's driving will be more satisfying than any previous GTA to date. Hell it might even give full blown Racing Games a run for their money.

    With the Mel Gibson thing, I think that he was joking. And to me the Trailer looked kind of average, I think this game could go either way so far. Either the Aliens Colonial Marines route, or ( hopefully ) the Far Cry 3 route. Only time will tell if this game will turn out to be good. I think I'll reserve judgement until more information is revealed and some gameplay is shown closer to the Release Date. It's definitely got an interesting premise though.

    When it comes to the PS3 and 360, Microsoft has the edge on console sales in English Speaking countries. But Sony's PS3 has an edge over the Xbox 360 in Worldwide Sales overall. And even with a 1 year head-start the 360 still came in second best to the juggernaut that is the PlayStation 3.
  23. BlackSox9
    It's just like the old GTA's, the White Icon means that you 'Own' the property, and the Black Icon means it's still 'For Sale'.
  24. BlackSox9
    I remember reading in one of the Previews that Rockstar said they were bringing back the Tool Stores from Vice City in some form. And that this would be the primary place you could buy melee weapons. I'm guessing that the weapons sold there would be along the lines of normal tools like hammers, screwdrivers, shovels, and hopefully the Grand Daddy of them all 'The Chainsaw'. Except when looking at the mini-maps in the Gameplay Trailer, I can't see any icons that could relate to this, so maybe I'm wrong. I can't be bothered looking for the original article mentioning tool stores either. Does anyone remember reading about this, or is it all in my imagination?

    Well woodchips/ sawdust can mask the smell of various drug labs such as methamphetamine labs. So maybe they've got a drug operation going on there. Mexican Drug Cartels have used a similar setup at factories to mask the smell of their Meth Laboratories. *Edit ~ Or it could just be a Drug/ Arms Deal that Franklin has dropped in on to fuck up the Ballas day...
