VC is my favourite GTA so if be happy to see the high-res version of that ? but I kinda expect them to do sort of a trilogy based in current times. (Although GTA like FC hasn’t respected any traditional sequel-prequel convention.)

It just doesn’t seem there’s any interest for the 80s cheese right now. It doesn’t seem to be a trend there.

In modern day Miami they could go off Heat

Yeah hopefully the gameplay is still fun!

The early gameplays were all about melee basically, was making me think of The Surge but FPS. Seemed a bit slow and repetitive.

I wonder if they’ve changed much the gameplay choices over time or it was always envisioned like this.

@will2kare you playing? I didn't realise it was out until i started listening to this podcast

BioTechoShock.

It's impressive but this special abilities (magic ?) glove seems really out of place. Like freezing powers, what have this to do with a world of robots?

Wasn't released. Bunch of the devs got hired in game studios afaik. Some mentions here.

THIS MOTHERFUCKING MOTHERFUCKER

Disgusting story

Damn I'm harming myself

Remember the time when they announced Source 2 would be released stand alone and free? ☹️

I think by the time we got to page 12 we were talking about using Unreal… back then was it already U4 or still UDK?

It never took off

In terms of a diegetic way to deliver missions pagers aren't so intrusive, or if they really broke the mould they could go in to the future and have the main character wear some sort of cyber-goggles where missions get dropped, again in a non-obtrusive way.

I never felt like it was difficult to find side-missions in the 2D GTA's or 3/VC/SA.

But isn’t the phone quote diegetic, or as diegetic you can get in a third person game? Listening to a call to get briefed seems less intrusive than anything, the big problem is the timing.

I get what you mean about older iterations of the game, they really rewarded exploration, in particular in 2D GTA… all of those bomb-wired vehicles there to bait you etc, was cool.

I was pretty disappointed in my last GTA5, session I got into an ambulance and there was no mini game ? it seems weird that they got rid of those, maybe it’s just gated because where I am in the game. I also wanted to try if there was the ice cream van mini game.

Vice City is my favourite GTA, but I expect them to do modern-day Miami if they do, maybe revisit some characters or areas… like in GTA5 one of the last missions I played was paying a visit to the house next of CJ’s basically.

Startup had all that gang stuff in Little Haiti that would fit quite nicely(?)

What you mean by this? (How would it work)

I feel GTA5 (that I’m playing atm) has far less calls than GTA4.

I’m actually a bit let down by the unavailability of people to do side activities like meeting up. Apart from when I was told to meet someone because of story progression they are always unavailable (as in busy number or voicemail). In GTA4 the other characters were constantly trying to divert you from the missions and was annoying.

Should I pass this to my friend, who’s a math teacher? ?

Nice @Torjan, is that vanilla HL2? An antlion map?

I would hope requirements are not crazy. I really wanted to get it on PS but it’s for PS5 only ? any chance PS5 exclusives will be made retro compatible?

I’ve actually just picked it back up! I had done only a handful of early missions and abandoned (GTA doesn’t like wireless headphones)

Really curious to find out the setting.

There were rumours about London, but despite they had an early game set there, and there have been other games recently set there… I feel it would be kinda weird. When I go round I don’t get the vibe of crime that a GTA game thrives on. Maybe they’ll manage to bring a Guy Ritchie film to game ?

Where else could they set it? Vice City current times? An alternate Texas?

After what seems an eternity, Tango finally revealed the gameplay of what was teased as a very tense thriller.

I dunno, I’m an FPS person, but fps-ing with magic only doesn’t give me the itch to pick up a pad or mouse.

Thank you for the reminder, I should finally install RE4 ?

Every few hours I had get off my fat ass and use the keyboard to turn controller/joystick off and on again so it worked again.

Typical Valve solution: instead of fixing the controller support we invest millions in research to create a new controller that allows for good fine pointer control ?
