But still, what's your opinion on the new GTA? It appears to be more serious and realistic, I'm curious to see the final game.

most of you have probably already seen this, but still

I'm still waiting for GTA: The Musical. I think it would be great.

The formula still hasn't got old for me and I'd welcome a change in tone. I just hope the PC version (there will be a PC version, right?) will be decent.

Too much hype imo.

well san andreas was cool. i expect this to be one step forward. the trailer basically shows nothing.
i dont think the game will look as good as it seems there.

i can just hope they finally add quicksave...but i guess they are too thick minded for that....
artificial game enlargement... by the cost of frustration...lots -_-

It would be even less of a challenge with Quicksave tbh

ps: There will be no flying vehicles in GTA IV

Yeah, quicksave would be stupid.

If the handling of the aircraft in San Andreas is anything to go by, I'm not bothered. Why it got messed up from VC to SA I'll never know. The camera seemed fubar to me.

it's supposed to be fun, not challenging.
it can be challenging, but not by removing fun and adding frustration. thats mis-game-design.

You obviously have an abnormally low threshold. I never got to the point where the challenge soured the game for me. I think playing too many quicksaving PC games has made you soft.

Did you game in the 80s/early 90s at all? I guess you'd argue we've moved on since then but I still get as much fun out of the same games.

Although I loved, even adored the humor in the previous GTA's I'm still hoping for a more realistic game. It would be good for a change. And knowing Rockstar, I'm sure they'll put some awesome stuff in the game. (the "Get a Life" sign on top of the buildings in the trailer for example $\o/$ )

And please.. no quicksave. The only game where it was nice to have quicksave was Max Payne so you could play every scene in seventythousandfiftyhundred1 times.

lol making games realistic - for a change ?

oO i think that's what evry game is trying to develop to at the moment :s and sometimes this ruins games

but i don`t see me continueing playing on the computer so much cause havin 512 mb ram and 2.4 ghz isn't that friendly to the new games^^ i tried stalker on minimum quality but...^

well and i think 2 quicksave is nothing for gta

altho i get pissed too if i die because of an silly accident like driving into the sea or smthin and not having saved the game for a long time because i've been into it too much^

Realism with the writing, not the gameplay. How many games have a well written, serious, story?

Final Fantasy XII has a storyline that's worlds ahead of anything else I've played. The voice acting in it's really good and the characters have more than one dimension!

and in how far does this affect the games

? i mean if the playing fun is there, there's no need for a real good story. sure it depends on the game and some games need a story but its not nessecary for a good game i guess..

Post by **The_One** » 18-04-2007 16:44

Obviously games like Frogger didn't need a good story to be a great game but if you include a story it should be a good one.
