    Best screenshot of the bridge I can find. What I'm looking at is the buildings on the right behind the helicopter in the attached shot as well what appears to be a cross between uprights next to the "legs" in the underwater shot. http://www.igta5.com/images/240x150/official-screenshot-flying-through-the-port.jpg

    Could it be the bridge?

    As a sports fan I love the street ball idea. It'd be great to go join in a pick up game, pick up a random ball and just start taking shots on your own, or steal/shoot the ball and watch the players fight/shoot you for it.

    Would you rather dress up in an Obama mask or the mask of Australia's leader? http://www.google.com.au/imgres?sa=X&biw=1280&bih=685&tbm=isch&tbnid=Zbc3G7oByqkjBM:&imgrefurl=http://www.thebottleofplonk.com/archives/author/admin&docid=fvzWIIqbSshpjM&imgurl=http://www.thebottleofplonk.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/julia1.jpg&w=253&h=337&ei=TuSSUfCOO8iQigfVkoGQDA&zoom=1&ved=1t:3588,r:1,s:0,i:81&iact=rc&dur=238&page=1&tbnh=197&tbnw=187&start=0&ndsp=15&tx=87&ty=85

    What? You don't want to dress Trevor up as a Gangster, send him back out to the country and have his friends ask "what the fuck are you wearing?"

    I'd also like the option of picking someone up and throwing them. Imagine the possibilities.

    If they put an aquarium in I think there'd be very few windows that can be broken with gunfire. In saying that, I hope that you can break into tanks and swim with the fish, see the NPC's on the other side of the glass, and in GTA-style, shoot/harpoon fish/sharks/etc and watch scores of families, tourists and schoolchildren watch in horror. Imagine a Sea World type attraction with the dolphins and killer whales doing their tricks for the onlooking audience, only for someone to snipe the animal in mid-air and panic ensues.

    Several times I've been sat in 'my' car at the traffic lights abiding the laws of the road like a good person, with a wanted level that I hadn't even realised I had, when a scumbag pig drags me out to the floor. It's not like I'm gonna break the traffic laws to stop them arresting me. Really? It's not Grand-ma Theft Auto.

    You know you're still going to buy the damn game, whether the graphics are the same or not, lol. Yeah, brotherman, you're right. I'm just saying the graphics aren't that much of an upgrade, considering all the time they've had. But, yeah, I stand corrected, they probably had to make do with what they were working with, and I hope they exhausted the PS3's potential. I still think it was a dumb decision on their part to not make this GTA for the PS4, since they would've had more freedom to do a lot of shit. It's all good, though. I still prefer VC over SA, so I ain't 'bout that gfx life. There's no reason that they can't release a PS3 version and then update the graphics and release it on PS4.

    I was mowing down people to Bob Marley :-)

    If you can ditch evidence that way you'd expect the cops to be able to track it down that way too.

    Too late for a R* Psy parody from someone in Little Seoul?

    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.
  14. Barrybran
    By population yes, but by area no.

    What about the ability to take drugs. I don't condone it in real life but what the hell, it's GTA! What if you smoke pot and the action slows down, your protag gets giggly and a "munchie-meter" appears on screen where you have to go find your guy some food. Or you take LSD and the screen literally starts to melt. What do you think?

    If there is a zoo and you can steal animals as Faraz hopes for wouldn't it be more fun to ride a horse into the enclosures and make a run for it?
  17. Barrybran
    Speaking of sports and crime, one of the first things I thought of when I read that it was focusing solely on LS was the inclusion of sportspeople and teams as elements in the game. For most cities you wouldn't even entertain the idea but I thought of the Lakers (Los Santos Lochers?) in particular as being a team with the glitz and glamour of LA, plenty of rich guys, connections to A-listers and something very much associated with the image of that area of Los Angeles. Imagine the parodies and storylines R* could have come up with.

    You've just opened up a potential bookie mini-game too, GS.

    Now I want a race track.

    Noone was talking about camping in the city but I don't know anyone in real life who does it. As for your car being stolen, you as the protagonist go around stealing cars so why can't other people steal your stuff? Fairs fair
  21. Barrybran
    Thanks GS. I expected to see surfers in and out of the water but I wasn't expecting to be able to surf. I'm intrigued by how far Rockstar will take the water activities.
  22. Barrybran
    Has there been any mention of surfing, windsurfing, or waterskiing/wakeboarding?
  23. Barrybran
    Just a thought, and I'm sure it won't happen, but what about the use of hotels/motels as a save point? I hear the camping notion from RDR mentioned a bit through the forums and obviously it's impractical to a) camp in Los Santos and park your car beside your city-campsite and NOT have it stolen (although it would be funny to see your protags reaction when he wakes up to find his car gone or trashed). A catch would be that you can't go there when you have a wanted level but you could plan your heist there. There'd be a nightly fee attached and maybe valet for the more pricey hotels.
  24. Barrybran
    I like the system used in RDR. It was there if you wanted to use it, you could skip the cut scene if you wanted to or you could just ignore it and ride around (my preferred option). I can't see why they can't implement a similar system; use it if you want to or ignore it if you don't. I agree that taxis should be accessible via phone and I like the limo suggestion but don't see it happening.

    I know it won't be in there but I'll throw my two cents in... but how about a segway a la GOB in Arrested Development?
