You and me both, pal. You and me both.

This popped up for me. Ned Luke gives his takes about Steven Ogg losing his shit over being Trevor and just generally how he loves it.

Yea. It's one of those dead franchises that we can never let go, as with many things these days.

Careful what you wish for! I adored the once dead Silent Hill series and now they're back... As weeabo shit and "modernized" iterations, not to mention that the best game in the series is getting remade with modern audiences in mind.

A Silent Hill game was in the cards since 2010, but many of entries (Silent Hills and PT) were canned. Also, it's Konami we're talking about, they are gaming necromancers (which says a lot with other giant companies), like look at Embracer and how they've resurrect Saints Row, or how Squeenix resurrect Tomb Raider just for it to die and then Embracer resurrects it again.

I get all my GTA news from Mors Mutual now :/

Taking a gander at GTAforums, it seems this is pretty recent (like a couple hours going live? Al their footage seems to be from Mors). Either that, or GTAForums has really gotten late on shit since I left the place.

So far I don't really see much being found that we didn't already know about from the bugstar leaks but yeah still pretty interesting to see it being played.

The only important thing is the Lamar x Franklin mission can be start from Job Menu instead waiting for the call. Rest is just usual boring refresh rotation of cars you can buy from website shops, bonus payouts, and discounts.

Spoiler: LMAO

 

[The Last Stand]

In GTA V, cutscenes play out regardless of weather conditions. I think it happens in IV too. I cannot count the amount of times I've seen characters just talking in the pouring rain.

Lamar would've make better protag than franklin imo
He's a gangsta with some exaggerated nigger trait unlike CJ who mostly acts logically and being moralfag, stopping his gang doing drug business, another black protag Vance has similar trait too
Killing people and dealing drugs for fun, that's my nigga long dick Lamar

Lamar was the protag we all deserved, but we ended up playing the sidekick, Franklin.

I'm surprised I haven't seen someone attempt a playable Lamar for the main storyline.

I remember playing these games and the cities are often described as urban shitholes with soaring murder rates in a more exaggerated way. (Probably influenced by South Bronx, LA Riots and Scarface). As of recently people are comparing actual footages of these cities to the games and people are now starting to agree the situation in these cities are even worse than it's portrayal in any GTA game.

One more eyeopener I just noticed from GTA IV.



Notice the price of gas depicted in IV. And IV had themes of economic despair/inequality akin to the '08 recession. And gas was cheaper in game than now!

A post so nice, you posted it twice

 

[xXx: State of the Union]

As someone that had to buy gas in 2008, I can tell you that those prices are not accurate at all and the actual prices were closer to what I am paying right now. (around 4 bucks give or take a quarter)

I'm almost convinced that they forgot to change the price from "per liter" prices to "per gallon" being from the UK and all.

I want a Lamar soul album

People did that when the games were released:

Remember that scouting mission from V involving tailing a janitor's car with their license plate?

I feel that's a flex from the programmers since IV did not have randomly generated license plates. All car plates said LIBERTY CITY. Odd tidbit.

I doubt it. In GTASA, there were also random license plates and many mission vehicles had hardcoded funny license plates, here's a good list of those
