The SR3 could do the same. The SR2 assets were simpler, lower resolution textures and what not, all that let them cram more into the meager console memory. To provide for SR3's higher details, something else had to be axed.

Plus there is nothing else to do in the thread but speculate or hunt down more badly done 'leaks'.

Oxxidation posted:It's a graphics thing. Volition was working with a new engine, so they had to scale back, just like SA to GTA4. Only they decided to make Steelport more like a 24-hour gangland free-for-all than a living city the way Rockstar did with GTA4's. Can't wait for GTAV to come out and fanboys make fun of people for playing SR3 because it's so small compared to SR2 when GTAV is so awesome or something. I like making fun of stupid people.

My main hope is just that they'll apply what they've learned about the Euphoria engine to the combat. The gunplay in GTAIV and every one of its expansions was loving horrible. At its best it was a glorified game of whack-a-mole like every other cover shooter out there, and at its worst a wrong button press had your character wandering around in lazy circles while everyone filled you with bullets. Four-Leaf Clover's the only time I remember really enjoying the shooting in that game.

Was listening to the Vice City soundtrack today, gently caress me what an amazing tracklist, Rockstar nailed it with that one.

Number 2 on my list would be cruising through Bone County on a Freeway while listening to Horse With No Name or pretty much any song on K-DST, really. It's just so relaxing.

Pulling off drive-bys on Balla punks with my homies deep in Balla turf while How I Could Just Kill a Man by Cypress Hill plays on the radio is a pretty awesome GTA moment. So is cruising around the entirety of Vice City while Crockett's Theme plays on the radio. Every time that song comes on the radio in the game I stop what I'm doing and just move around the city until the song ends.

I think it really helps that the radio dj personalities are so likable too. I love how Lazlow is fighting off biker dudes calling in complaining about the "pussy rock" he plays on his station. It's like they branded each station off of the unique dj's personality. I find that unique in that it's the only open world crime game that has managed to make the formula work. Vice City has a magical radio. I would rip the audio files back in the day and listen to them just because.

Chuck D was the best DJ in San Andreas. He was a great mix of angry and indignant and funny and even nerdy.

The secret best part of GTA4's radio is on Integrity 2.0 when that hot dog vendor guy thinks him and lazlow have a comedy duo thing going on and Lazlow is just getting pissed about it.

I was in a shop today when Rod Stewart's Young Turks came on the speaker system, and I was reminded really strongly of driving around the San Andreas desert or countryside at night with that song playing. I really wish I had one single memory like that for GTA4.

Didn't Lazlow (the real world dude, who voices Lazlow) produce most of the in-game radio? I seem to remember having read something along those lines.

Riding through the northern areas on a freeway bike listening to Freebird, as the middle of the song kicks into that awesome guitar solo, or riding a lovely pickup truck in Whetstone listening to K-Rose, to zooming through on coming traffic at 200mph on an NRG-500 while listening to SFUR, or riding a sanchez through some woods listening to KJar... I don't have a single memory of GTAIV, even though I finished it. I wonder why, it's a shame really. Ak Gara fucked around with this message at 23:15 on Nov 22, 2011 |

GTAIV had & Down by Boys Noize and Sebastian's remix of Testarossa Autodrive by Kavinsky on its electro station, and they're pretty great to drive to, but they aren't as memorable as most of the tracks on 3 / Vice City / San Andreas. GTAIV also had that neat ambient station, but it wasn't something I could listen to all the time. It was only enjoyable to listen to every so often.

Thanks to The Silence of the Lambs, I pulled a pretty good  the first time Goodbye Horses came on Liberty Rock Radio.I think VC and SA's soundtracks were a little more identifiable because they featured tracks predominately from the music video era, so they were a bit more tangible, especially for people who aren't 'into' music. Almost all of it I had a memory of or had heard at some point. IV's was mostly obscure to me but still had some iconic stuff. Philip J Fry fucked around with this message at 23:48 on Nov 22, 2011 |

Part of it was that IV really didn't seem to have much "iconic" music that you would readily identify with one area in the same way you would gangster rap and LA or country music and the faux South version of Orange county they had in SA. Additionally the city was a bit blander without the unique time frame references that the previous two games had.* Well they did have stuff like the smart phone but you wouldn't associate them with "late 2000s New York" in the same way you would those Miami Vice guys in VC or the gang wars in SA. *Now you might in a few years, when time passes. But it didn't work right now because those things have yet to be associated with one, specific era. Cliff Racer fucked around with this message at 00:23 on Nov 23, 2011 |

I really wish I had one single memory like that for GTA4. To be fair, this isn't only because of how good the music is. It's partly because the San Andreas world is so full of memorable places and things and the driving mechanics are so fun that you just want to go out and see them, and it's just a natural thing to associate specific music with a specific memory.

Okay was everyone here talking about riding around Bone County on a Freeway in the Hells Rebels or did everyone just do this on their own and I had no clue? Edit: because that's seriously all I did for like 8 months.

I thought the music in TBOGT was very well done when you were in the clubs. Not iconic or anything but just really well done. It's between Vice and San Andreas for best soundtrack obvious being as GTA 3's was more low budget/crappy. I'd say Vice wins, I was born in 89 and I know most of the words to all the songs on that soundtrack cause of that game, apart from Wildstyle I think I could listen to them all.

GTA3's soundtrack loving ruled I still to this day get songs from Head Radio, Lips 106, RISE FM and MSX FM get stuck in my head from time to time, and that game came out 10 years ago. In fact, I think GTA3's soundtrack was just as memorable as Vice City's or San Andreas', if not moreso.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:GTA3's soundtrack loving ruled I actually bought "Scientist Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires" because I listened to those tracks on GTA3's K-Jah station so much. One small thing that's always bothered me about the radio in GTA3 is how it has a station dedicated to songs from the Scarface soundtrack, but Vice City, the '80s-set Scarface tribute, doesn't. I know VC probably wasn't even planned at the time they were putting GTA3's soundtrack together, but it still feels like Rockstar messed up there.
