  1. You corrected my post so I thought... ahh never mind. maybe I am just going crazy
  2. I wonder if Police will get ATVs or not. It might make off road chases a bit more interesting.
  3. I wasn't making any sort of political statement. all of their political characters, conservative or liberal, in this game are crazy in this game. That is all I meant. thanks for the name, I missed that.
  4. So maybe you can get a wanted level then switch characters. so say you are playing as Micheal and you are running from the cops in that red car. you switch over to Trevor, grab a plane and go help Micheal out. or maybe you just watch the show. Oh and I know it is not that big of a deal but I noticed the semi down there is actually pulling a trailer.
  5. Thanks, some sites say, "NY is slightly bigger with a bigger population" and "LA is bigger than NY" and so on. I knew that LA was bigger because I come from a place in Australia which is very sprawl-like and hence compared to LA but I was surprised by what I found when I went looking for info to back it up. Apparently, for cities with a population greater than one million people, the largest cities by land area are (in order) Houston, Phoenix, LA (468 sq. miles), San Antonio, Dallas, San Diego, NYC (302 sq. miles). There's my education for the day. The thing about the LA area is that there are a lot of cities around it that are clumped in with LA but are technically their own city. So LA may be 500 sq miles but then it just melds into other big cities surrounding it. New York is very dense and doesn't sprawl out as much as LA does. I can believe Huston has a larger area because unlike LA it is the only real city in the intimidate area. All of the suburban areas around it belong to Huston while in LA most of the suburban areas are actually their own towns. My point is that So-Cal is like one big city and LA is only a part of it I do not think that is all that important. we already know the Salt Sea is to the north when in reality it is to the far south east. They are creating their own world based on the real California, correct geography is not important.
  6. That sounds about right. It is not the size that matters but what you do with it. Do we have a consensus on the size of RDR, because earlier in this topic it seemed decided that it was actually only 6 sq miles. so what is it?
  7. This was confirmed in the reviews. it also sounds like there is going to be some crazy liberal super hero show to play its opposite.
  8. Which screen are you talking about having a first person view? no man no screen of it. it's words end of page 2 beginning of 3 makes me wonder if they will force us into 1st person camera angles for cinematic purposes like in this screencap.... for all we know, that could be trevor's point of view on this particular mission... i do wonder how they'll manage that aspect... I'm thinking just for cinematic and mission purposes. In the article it says Trevor's view is first person mostly because he's looking through binoculars (mission oriented).. I was thinking that if they have the cinematic view button return from 4 (where you hit O and it gives you a random cinematic view) and you hit it during a police chase it might give you that first person view from the police chopper.
  9. I never had a problem using manual saves and keeping auto saves on. they don't override each other.
  10. I don't think the LAPD use Horses, at least not to any great extent. I could be wrong, I avoid LA at all cost. \ If horses are rideable, why not other animals as well? For instance Bulls. Maybe their could be a mini-game involving Bull Riding ( like a Rodeo or something ), I could see Trevor getting down with something like this. Or maybe there could even be a Rodeo Clown mini-game. I could see that, it is to bad they didn't have Bull riding in RDR. and if you are not careful then your dog can get ticks and die from lime disease.
  11. Hold up, This was discussed earlier and it was decided that RDR is actually smaller then SA. I can't find the post. The northern SF bay area, most people go to the Sierras, which is mainly Nevada. Lots of resorts there. In the south most LA people go to Mammoth for skiing and boarding. There are spots in So-Cal as well. Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead areas in the San Bernardino Mountains for example. May not be Aspen, but they are nice.
  12. Grapeseed seems to be modeled after the grapevine IRL. I could imagine that would fit snugly in a valley (or a pass I guess) among the mountains between LS and BC.
  13. You know, I was just thinking about that the other day when I was playing GTA4. it seems like a wait option would open up some new possibilities. At the same time I have my doubts that R* would actually do it.
  14. There is an LA zoo so I don't see why not. I am sure you could do jobs for the crooked zoo keepers.
  15. I forget that RDR did have a fast travel of sorts. I think being able to call a cab would replace any need for a fast travel like that.
  16. Imagine running from the cops on a horse in downtown?
  17. If there are horses I wonder if you will be able to ride?
  18. Hotels has temporary save spots would be interesting. I think camping or a trailer would work outside the city just fine. I do not think anyone was talking about camping inside the city. even if they were I don't understand why your car would always get stolen.
  19. GeneticallySuperior; you always have the most interesting post. thanks for the information. I have my doubts about surfing, but I wouldn't be surprised by anything at this point. I have high hopes that there will be some sort of gambling in this game. maybe some underground poker or fighting (like in TBOGT). CA does have legal track betting. Of course there is always the Indian casinos as GS mentioned.
  20. If they do decide to have a Catalina type island (I have not seen any evidence that there will be) then we might get Buffalo again (or Bison I guess) Sometimes people who are not used to message boards forget to look at the dates of post before responding. I decided to ignore it.
  21. Sounds like this is how it is going to work. not sure about the how optional the prep missions will be though. I agree, this is what I want.
  22. I am sure that is not true in every state. Isn't is still legal to drive without a seat belt in Jersey? besides being illegal in real life doesn't mean they wont be in the game and doesn't mean people don't do it. Having those super bright headlights is illegal in California, you still seem them.
