A few little spoilers for you (no storyline).

Big cars (of yours) can quite easily roll other cars
Only had a freeway, but bikes handle quite well. Freeway quite slow though.
Nice little touch. I pulled into a large garage, and you could hear my car music echo, as it would in RL.
Your first savepoint doesn't have a garage. You have a small piece of road designated as 'safe parking', meaning your car won't vanish. Acts the same as a garage, just a nice new method.

And oh yeah. The radio stations are 10/10 IMO.

Last night on the Streams Niko got in a Taxi and the Taxi got robbed by some black dude and he was going mad because the police were chasing him and Niko was still in the car and Niko is like "stop ******* crashing" LOL.

And then he headshotted some granny and teabagged her. Apparently the cars are "slippery" to drive?

I probably will complete it pretty fast to be honest, it comes out at a perfect time for me xD

And I'm not really a gaming wizz, I just have alot of time and I've played alot of games xD

This guys been calling 911 and holding onto the back of a fire truck and doing some really cool stuff. Is it true if you shoot a building with a RPG like a hole goes in the building and stays like that till the next day or something.

Ashley 12344
25-04-2008, 01:25 PM
UK Neil.
Used to be Games2U but now is a fairly crappy Gamestop. First thing I've bought from there.


Not every building. You can damage shop windows and stuff, but some buildings are just solid regardless.

Jericho

You say the drivings realistic, but is it Saints Row realistic or Project Gotham "Your best playing with a steering wheel" realistic <3.

Ashley 12344
25-04-2008, 03:40 PM
I'll spoiler it just incase.
Info about driving:
Bit of Saints Row meets GTA:SA with a Forza twist. Takes into account cars turn sharper without braking/accelerating, as in Forza. Proper hard to turn at first, but your used to it within half an hour.

And something I just did which I thought was funny.
Drink driving. Very slow reactions and a hazy screen.

The last one was Saints Row's idea. >.<

Edit: I have suchhhhhhhhhh a cheeky idea, I might go to the Game Stop in Stockport and ask for it. If they say 'No' I'll just turn around and say 'The store in Hull is selling it, they're not giving bags out, you have to conceal it while leaving the store and if you get seen say it's from Game' and then if they say 'No' I'll go... £20 on the side? :P

I don't have the guts though... I'll look like an idiot if they say no and just remove me... I dunno. :(

You could do that in SA for the PC. However, i read somewhere rockstar said GTAIV will NEVER come to the PC.

Playstation Home is going to have a lot of cool features intertwined with GTA IV. My brother's have the game for about a week, his friend works in GAME. I envy him, he always gets everything first. He ordered his PS3 from Japan about 3 months before the UK release, then bought two, sold the Japanese one and gave me the other, heh.
