  1. It's one of my favourite gangster films too. I owned it on VHS, and i said back then i wouldn't buy a DVD version, but i did. Now Blu-ray. You just have to move with the times otherwise your old films could render useless eventually.

    So I guess you're the sort of person who buys a new phone every six months to keep up with all the latest faggy "trends" and "apps". :D

    A DVD does me just fine, as long as I have a DVD player I can watch it quite easily. I don't think i'd notice any discernable difference between DVD and Blu-ray versions anyway.

    Actually I'm not. I had the same phone for 4 years until my wife finally got me a new contract phone in her name, just to upgrade the relic. Phones arent that big part of my lifestyle. Where-as films and games are.


  2. Have it on DVD already, that'll do me.

    exactly... as a matter of fact, i watched it about 3 weeks ago too... but if there is a standard edition, i might consider buying it since it is one of my favorite movies and it can be dark in places... it could use a nice HD touch up...

    I guess this time though Blu-ray isn't so ground breaking. Digital distribution is on the up and Blu-ray is just there.

    I'll get it on blu-ray though. As long as it's a reasonable price.


  3. This seems like a genuine find to me.

    Here is a quote from joystiq, some additional information of this find:

    Additional first-name-only characters are listed in the job posting and sound generally befitting of a GTA game -- take "Samantha," for instance: "A young female obsessed with sex parties, always dreaming of being a Hollywood celebrity." The Actors Pages casting call follows a similar job posting on The Agency, for a project named "Rush" (assumed to be a codename and linked to Take-Two), which introduces more puzzle pieces that might fit together into a new GTA game set in Los Angeles -- or "Los Santos," as it's known in San Andreas.

    GTA: Los Santos anyone?

    Also, Jose sounds like a new version of the Truth from SA!


  4. I can't believe how much of a blatant ripoff that map is.

    I didn't really get into the SR2. The coolest thing was that you could smoke blunts out of your inventory. Everything else was too ridiculous. That said, I need to pick the game back up so I can finish it. I got started and got distracted by better games.

    I probably won't touch SR3 until 2013, if ever.

    I know what you mean. Same thing happened to me. I think i got to a mission where i had to spray shit all over the street through a fire-engine or some shit. Then Far Cry2 swept me off my feet!


  5. Let's back track for a second:

    What i'm going to do here is compile a list of films that have inspired GTA. If you know of any, please post and i'll add it to the list.

    Carlito's Way, (1993)

    Al Pacino - Carlito 'Charlie' Brigante.

    Sean Penn - David Kleinfeld.

    Penelope Ann Miller - Gail

    John Leguizamo - Benny Blanco

    I've not seen this film mentioned on here before tbh. I've only seen it for the first time myself just today, and damn, what an awesome film it is!

    Ken Rosenberg in Vice City was based on David Kleinfeld in this Movie!

    Scarface, (1983)

    Al Pacino - Tony Montana

    Steven Bauer - Manny Ribera

    Michelle Pfeifferr - Elvira Hancock

    Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio- Gina Montana

    Robert Loggia- Frank Lopez

    Scarface heavily influenced Vice city.

    Grand Theft Auto, (1977)

    Ron Howard - Sam Freeman

    Nancy Morgan - Paula Powers

    I've never seen this movie, but obviously GTA got its name from somewhere. I think it's about stealing and wrecking cars... lol

    Heat, (1995)

    Robert De Niro - Neil McCauley

    Al Pacino - Lt. Vincent Hanna

    Val Kilmer - Chris Shiherlis

    Jon Voight - Nate

    Tom Sizemore - Michael Cheritto

    R*n used it for the bank job mission in IV.

    Casino, (1995)

    Robert De Niro - Sam 'Ace' Rothstein

    Sharon Stone - Ginger McKenna

    Joe Pesci - Nicky Santoro

    James Woods - Lester Diamond

    GTA:SA had some reference to Casino.

    New Jack City, (1991)

    Wesley Snipes - Nino Brown

    Ice-T - Scotty Appleton (as Ice T)

    Allen Payne - Gee Money

    Chris Rock - Pookie

    The crack "palace" that Smoke lives in - in San Andreas, looks exactly like the Carter Apartment Buildings, crack dealer Nino Brown's headquarters in this 1991 similarly themed film.

    Menace II Society, (1993)

    Tyrin Turner - Caine

    Larenz Tate - O-Dog

    Samuel L. Jackson - Tat Lawson

    There are numerous references to this film in GTA:SA, especially Grove street, and the whole ghetto thing.

    To Live and Die in L.A., (1985)

    William Petersen - Richard Chance

    Willem Dafoe - Eric 'Rick' Masters

    John Pankow - John Vukovich

    The whole counterfeiting aspect In GTA:VC is based on this movie. A song also from the movie (Dance Hall Days by Wang Chung) is in the game. Also, there is a car chase in GTA:SA that is clearly a homage to Live and Die in L.A. The scenery and the action, etc.

    Cop Land, (1997)

    Sylvester Stallone - Freddy Heflin

    Harvey Keitel - Ray Donlan

    Ray Liotta - Gary Figgis

    Robert De Niro - Moe Tilden

    Not so much inspiration, more of a cross reference. Ray Liotta plays Tommy in Vice City, and Cop Land is also the name of a mission in Vice City.

    Snatch, (2000)

    Jason Statham - Turkish

    Benicio Del Toro - Franky Four Fingers

    Brad Pitt - Mickey O'Neil

    Alan Ford - Brick Top

    The main inspiration for IV DLC. The Diamond and the way they blend each characters stories into the main game.

    High Noon, (1952)

    Gary Cooper - Marshal Will Kane

    Thomas Mitchell - Mayor Jonas Henderson

    Lloyd Bridges - Deputy Marshal Harvey Pell

    Katy Jurado - Helen Ramírez

    Inspired GTA:IV's Story. Niko's struggle to make choices through-out.

    Speed, (1994)

    Keanu Reeves - Officer Jack Traven

    Dennis Hopper - Howard Payne

    Sandra Bullock - Annie Porter

    Joe Morton - Capt. McMahon

    In GTA:VC, there is a mission where you're not allowed to slow down until you defuse the bomb, otherwise it'll blow.

    Easy Rider, (1969)

    Peter Fonda - Wyatt

    Dennis Hopper - Billy

    Antonio Mendoza - Jesus

    In GTA:SA, Peter Fonda's character - The Truth, is a parody of the one he played in Easy Rider.

    Post Your GTA films, and we'll know where to find them!

    There is a lot of decent gangster orientated films referenced here. I think they have to bring back the Mafia element to GTA at some point...

    Here is a list of films i think will be nice to see reference to in the next GTA:

    Pulp Fiction

    Layer Cake

    Reservoir Dogs

    Donnie Brasco

    Gangster No.1

    Public Enemies

    Gangs of New York (but in present day context)

    True Grit

    I'll think of more later.

  6. So does the knuckles count as unarmed? i couldn't tell if it was unarmed or melee. But I guess it makes more sense to be unarmed. I did come across a guy telling me about those sunset sarsaparilla caps a while back. So i guessed that they would be important.

    Thanks for the tips b0nEs. + 1 for you ^^)


  7. Yeah I've been wrecking shit with the normal spiked knuckles, i use it a lot of the time. I've upped my energy weapon stat and melee weapon stat atm oh and science. Might have to get one of those love hate knuckles.


  8. I started playing New Vegas again today. I didn't really get into it the first time round due to mainly not having any free time. But I'm starting to enjoy it more this time. It doesn't feel like Fallout 3 which is good because it feels fresh. You guys got any tips on weapon locations? or how to make any decent weapons.
