GTA San Andreas trailer

I still have my Dreamcast as well. And PSone, Gamecube, Genesis, N64, etc. Like you said, some games are good enough that they don't go out of style.

I'll date myself a bit here, but I have Infocom text games on my laptop. I was in the middle of A Mind Forever Voyaging (for like the 10th time) when the lightning strike happened. The one downside to the rapid progression of gaming technology is that, back in the day, games had to be great. Now, some just get away with looking good. Which is why I'm so behind a company like Rockstar who says "screw status quo, we're going to make shit we want to play ourselves."

Funny thing about the hard drive. Nice graphics are great, but I agree 100% that the biggest appeal of the XB is the HDD. They actually considered not putting one in the XB2 to cut costs. I'd have had to choke someone out in Redmond.

Back to the Dreamcast, I have to give them some credit. Putting mini screens in the controllers was a fantastic idea, particularly for those of us who enjoy playing sports games head to head. And NFL 2k2 was the first gigantic leap forward in console football games. My mouth was agape for a good hour when I first loaded that title up on 9/9/99. And the play was as good as the visual presentation (at the time).

Let us know how it is, you lucky fucker! :tongue2:

Also, do you think the XBox version will be available, say, around Christmas??

Lol, I will.

Unfortunately no, I think the next release is the soundtrack with prologue movie at the end of November, and then the XB release sometime around the end of March'05.

San Andreas today, Halo 2 around the corner. Looks like my BP 'chores' are going to be neglected for a while.

I know you prolly won't get this till sometime next week, but when Halo 2 comes out you better get your ass practicing as a sniper. I am great (old version) with pistol Rocket launcher and grenades, give me a sniper and we'd make one hell of a great team.

Are they going to be including the HDD now? I hope so, I was gonna be pissed if they left it out. I think their biggest concern is pirating, since so many people have put Linux on their boxes and can simply save the actual games to the hard drive and not need the discs. People were swapping game files over the Internet. They also only need to borrow a game disc or rent one to get the game saved. All of that cuts into their profits.

PS3 will be interesting. They're working on a system that uses many tiny chips to share the workload. They also want those chips to be able to interface with various other devices that become super media systems. They have an aggressive plan, but I can't see that happening in the next system. I'm guessing that those plans are 1-2 generations away from the PS3.

pick up the game TODAY!

I've only played a couple hours of it and I know this will cost me many sick days at work.

I'm still wondering how they got this game published with all the language, lol it's FAR more graphic than Vice City.

This might border on the best single player game... ever!

Got it last night and was up til 1am... boy am I paying for it now. I should have just called off sick. Why did I use up my sick days during the nice summer days :)

A few comments... graphics slight upgrade over Vice... but not much. But everything else ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!! I spent an hour playing pool in a bar making $1,000 per game! Riding the bike is sick and I actually have more fun running, as you can now climb over fences and short walls. I just love spending the first day screwing around getting use to the game.

My only downside was that first mission got me shot up pretty good and I just kept getting off track from going to the hospital. Plus when it gets night... it gets really freaking dark. Almost pitch black, sucks moving around but I will get use to it.

Mission for tonight... start hunting for the "hidden packages" and maybe actually do more than one mission.

Anyone else have any 411?
