lol I told ya man, as I said in the news thread, preording sucks. Just go pick it up. I always find it a Wal-Mart the day its out as long as I get there 6-9 hours after release where I live. I learned my lesson with VC. EBgames 2 day shipping, well including getting shipping STARTED and such and being here in time to be delivered to my house, it took 4 days. I went to Wal-Mart and I looked in the games section, sure enough about 4-5 Vice Citys were left sitting there. I was like oh my freakin gawd... no more preordering EVER . So I just bought it at Wal-Mart and sold a copy to a friend the next day (cause I knew there would be people that still wanted the game after it was sold out). well, too bad ive never seen those threads . its been 15 (FIFTEEN) days now since i ordered it and i still dont have it. i did choose the cheapest shipping but on their site they say it would take 5-10 days. i was really looking forward to playing it this weekend but now its too late. oh well, i learned my lesson to never order online from those bastards again, i guess. this seriously happned to you? there are SO MANY debates on whether bigfoot is real or rumors, there are fake pics and everything. everyone on the Playstation forums seems to believe its a rumor, lol, there is a lot of contreversy over this. perfect for 2 minutes?? lol. there are 300 lap races in GT3 where you have to drive perfect for HOURS before finishing. and what if you crashed on your last lap? that game pissed me off so much, im glad the CD got broken in half.

thanks for replies, i guess i wll mess with it some more and see if i get a nice jump. maybe i can try coming in FROM the direction of the place i want to land on, hit the bus, and get bounced back onto that place . 2.) here are a couple of questions about grinds. firstly, when you are doing a jump to land on a fence/rail, is it better to put the front wheel up (lean back) or put the front wheel down (lean forward), when you hit the fence? secondly, when you are already on the fence/rail what is the best way to gain/maintain speed? do you just lean up a bit and down a lot, or do you move in all directions (lean up, down, turn right, left)? thirdly, sometimes when in grinding, the bike just seems suddenly stop for some reason, as if there was something in the way. it doesnt slow down gradually and stop, it just suddenly stops on the rail/fence. is it possible to avoid this, or is it just luck?

yeah, make sure you have the proper IP and port. i think you enter your host computers internal IP, someone correct me if im wrong. all PC's on the network should be able to connect.

i like gta3 more atm, but when im get tired of playing it, i will like GTA:VC more

1.) do ramps help spins? i have noticed that when i go off of a ramp first, then hit the vehicle, the spin is usually faster and higher (ie probably why Ramon and Night use the airport ramp before hitting the bus, rather than hitting the bus from the ground). is it true that in general, if you hit a vehicle after going off a ramp, you will get more height and more roatations than if you hit one from the ground? the reason i am asking this is because im trying to nail a stunt at a specific location (that happens to have no ramps nearby) by hitting a bus and getting mad rotations as well as significant height. i am looking for as many rotations as possible, with the bike continuing going forward, over the bus, and onto a roof in front of me. is this possible without a ramp? also here is something ive discovered. if you hit the vehicle at a very high horizantal angle, around 45 degrees, it gets you mad rotations (meaning hitting the vehicle not perpendicularly, but sideways). is this true? that is it for now. i plan on using this thread for other questions too if they arise. thanks in advance.

isnt it true that you dont slide off of moving boats?

with GTA3 you cant. with VC just go to the display settings menu and disable HUD and radar.

actually the updated, more optimized engine would probably make it easier to allow for a big map. and why do you think trains would be hard to synch? theres no way of knowing any of these things until we know a little more about how SA works, and how BLUE works.

why not just leave you vulnerable when you pause/alt-tab like in normal games.......

nice site, awesome design.

does this happen in single player too, or only with MTA? you need to give a lot more details (computer specs for instance). the most obvious things i can think of is either a) bad install of GTA, or b) hardware problem (overheating maybe?).

is that banshee pic part of a cutscene? or maybe it was rendered on Rockstars machines (not from a PS2)? or possibly its just artwork... i cant wait to get the game, its been 8 days now since i pre-ordered

maybe they can work, i definately dont see a problem bandwith-wise if you only put in a couple of AI (especially if its on LAN). but besides that, it is probably very hard to implement and i guess there just isnt enough demand for this feature. you definately wont see it in the original BLUE, but a 3rd party programmer might make a mod for it.

hmm.. it may be that the servers you are trying to join are not working. how exactly are you finding servers? if you're using ASE, make sure you refresh the servers to get the latest servers that you know are up and working. another possibility may be that your connection to the internet is not allowing it. perhaps you are behind a firewall and have some ports disabled that dont allow you to join? i cant think of anything else at the moment... i mean even if you dont have the game installed or there is something wrong with it, it should still connect you, or perhaps give you another error message. am i right?

there are probably some good add-ons for premiere. Sony Vegas has a lot of effects i recommend that one.

he can also obtain it by buying it

so what type of audio does it support?too bad it doesnt support progressive scan, but im glad it supports widescreen.

well you can download a trial version of Adobe Premiere, or Sony Vegas, but they work for only 30 days. you can always *obtain* a CD key and register them though.. if you know what i mean. i have seen some very good movies made in Movie Maker 2 though.

you must click Connect to access those boxes in the pic.

well.. they are sort of quitting THIS particular series based on the GTA3 engine (GTA3, GTAVC, and GTASA), but not quitting on GTA. the next GTA that comes out will be on a totally different game engine, so there will be probably be huge differences between this series, and the next GTA, much bigger than diff's between LC VC and SA. OT: please reply if you know any of the following: - does SA support progressive scan? - does SA support true 5.1, or just Pro Logic II? - does SA support widescreen? i want to hook it up to my HDTV with 5.1 sound downstairs.

i think everyone agrees that the idea of leaving people totally vulnerable while they're paused is the best one. a nice addition to this, like riahc3 mentioned, would be to put PAUSED or TYPING above the players head.

there are loads of great vids coming out, but unfortunately this forum is dead . they only get a couple of replies each, then they're forgetten. btw, awesome vid GTA Fan.

maybe it will already come with a CTF add-on i wonder what kinds of games the big servers will host when blue is released.. regular DM like right now, or some more creative game modes. im sure there will be a large variety of mods to chose from, i hope there will be enough big servers to host them, and enough players to play them. the way it is now, there are only a small handful of servers with decent amounts of people in them.

the mod determines what weapons are in the game. fully moddable does not mean people coming into servers with their own mods, it means servers HOSTING custom games (mods). in order to enter a server, you must have that exact same mod installed. plus, i am guessing that they will probably have better cheat protection in BLUE than they have now, so i think it is safe expect less cheaters.

i am not that interested in cops.. or any regular AI for that matter (since it would be boring with only a few), but in game modes where you may have, for example, a huge Pac-Man (or Godzilla, or something of that nature), walking down the street, destroying everything in its path. AI isnt something that is high on my list of most wanted features though, i just think it could create some awesome gamemodes.
