Tomorrow! Omg!

I'm rewatching SA's trailers to get hyped up. I'm getting THE TINGLES.

Trailer 1
Trailer 2
Trailer 3

Trailer 2 is *still* omfg like it was 2 years ago!

What the fuck

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #2 on:** March 28, 2007, 07:32:52 PM »

Meh. I liked Vice City, but I never really warmed up to SA's setting and style. Give me something akin to III again and I'll be happy.

Vizzys · « **Reply #3 on:** March 28, 2007, 07:37:04 PM »

gta is boring, we shall see about this one.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #4 on:** March 28, 2007, 07:52:38 PM »

They had better fix the boring, shoddy, ropey as fuck gameplay (missions lolz) this time. They have had like literally 7 years to sort their shit out. When the main reason to play a game is the soundtrack, shit is seriously fucked up.

Himu · « **Reply #5 on:** March 28, 2007, 08:03:32 PM »

SA is hardly about "hip hop trash" ruzbeh. Only ignorant cunts and/or racists bring up the hip hop or gangsta stuff, and the thing about it is that the game outright trashes the culture as much as it glorifies it. Once you get out of Los Santos, there's really zero gangsta stuff in there.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #6 on:** March 28, 2007, 08:41:27 PM »

And theres way more than Hip Hop/Rap on the soundtrack too: theres heaps of top quality R&B, New Jack Swing, Funk, Rock and House. IMO its the best licensed soundtrack ever compiled.

littlemathletics · « **Reply #7 on:** March 28, 2007, 08:54:26 PM »

The country station is amazing. Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty? God yes. And the classic rock one is incredible too - they could have used any Bowie song, and they used Somebody Up There? Man, those guys are sharp.

I'm looking forward to this too. I'd be fascinated to see the traffic stats for the GTA site tomorrow - it's going to be huuuuuuuge.

GTA am shit. Horrible graphics are perfectly ok if it's on a Sony console lol

tiesto · « **Reply #9 on:** March 29, 2007, 08:44:59 AM »

Not a fan of the series, due to hating the controls and the missions (for a game that prides itself on being so "free roaming", a lot of the missions are pretty trial-and-error and force you into using certain weapons and cars), but I'm still curious to see what city the game will take place in, and I'm always hyped over the games' soundtracks.

Stocky · « **Reply #10 on:** March 29, 2007, 10:46:34 AM »

GTA never was any good, but hopefully they can fix a few things to make it worthwhile.

Eduardo24 · « **Reply #11 on:** March 29, 2007, 11:34:46 AM »

I don´t like GTA. I think is overrated. People credit the series for creating the sandbox, when in reality the sandbox existed way before GTA even existed. Elder Scrolls is a free roaming, and that game was launched in 1994. Hell, the first time I heard the world "sandbox" was when journalists where trying to describe Ocarina of Time.

But anyway, I am looking forward to the trailer. I REALLY want this game to be Xbox 360 exclusive, but not because I want to play it. I just want to the bitter tears, the anger, and the meltdowns. Just like Dragon Quest IX, Virtua Fighter 5 and Devil May Cry 4.

Himu · « **Reply #12 on:** March 29, 2007, 11:35:41 AM »

OoT is not sandbox at all

Eduardo24 · « **Reply #13 on:** March 29, 2007, 11:50:02 AM »

I am not saying it is. I am saying that games being described as "sandbox" existed WAY before GTA. You called me on Zelda, but ignored Elder Scrolls. But anyway, I hope to the God Almighty that MS moneyhatted T2. I want to see the meltdowns and the bitter tears

Himu · « **Reply #14 on:** March 29, 2007, 12:51:31 PM »

Well, people don't say that GTA created sandbox unless they're dumbasses. It did, however, help POPULARIZE it.

Sandbox games have been around for ages. Pirates! came out in the damn 80's. It's just that after GTAIII's release, *a lot* of games have placed more emphasis on freedom, even games where we thought we'd never see such freedom take place (SSX3).

Himu · « **Reply #15 on:** March 29, 2007, 04:29:55 PM »

AN HOUR AND 30 MINUTES ALSDFJASD;

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #16 on:** March 29, 2007, 04:59:57 PM »

The song in the first SA trailer is the best thing ever

Himu · « **Reply #17 on:** March 29, 2007, 05:01:59 PM »

I love that song!

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #18 on:** March 29, 2007, 05:04:43 PM »

Me too. I remember playing SA and it coming on the Radio station while I have the sound blasting

Himu · « **Reply #19 on:** March 29, 2007, 05:08:45 PM »

ONE HOUR

When these SA trailers came out, I watched them like 100 billion times before the game came out.

The game exceeded my expectations 1000x!

Vizzys · « **Reply #27 on:** March 29, 2007, 05:48:11 PM »

I wish I had a 360 to play this game.

Just kidding, I already have one.

Sorry, HiMuRo.

I expect mediocrity. Or a future setting with bald space marines.

Himu · « **Reply #35 on:** March 29, 2007, 05:55:06 PM »

I'm expecting something 1000 x more interesting than Earthbound! 9 MORE MINUTES

Himu · « **Reply #36 on:** March 29, 2007, 05:58:34 PM »

ALMOST 5 MINTUES

Himu · « **Reply #37 on:** March 29, 2007, 06:03:38 PM »
