    The internet refuses to tell me what's in the Limited and Epic editions, but I'm guessing I won't find it epic enough to spend an extra $90 (or however much extra the Limited edition is).

    As it turns out, I did find it epic enough.

    I can see myself spending my life in Horde 2.0. The Gamescom videos look great.

    Bump.

    Only one month to go! Can't bloody wait. It'll be the only game I've bought this year. I've pre-ordered the Epic Edition which comes with this bad boy (amongst a tonne of other things, but this is the highlight). The blue bits are phosphorescent:

    ahhhh isnt she a beauty! this is my 2001 vauxhall corsa *cough* 1 litre*cough* pussy wagon. I passed my test on friday and I shall be in service by september once it is taxed and mot'd.

    Looks tidy for a 10 year old car. I've got a 1999 1.2(!!) Corsa that's served me well while I'm at uni (pics if I remember to take some). I love it but I'm a bit bored of it, should be getting something pretty tasty next year.

    Good to see they still can't design anything decent. I've never found anything I like in their Rockstar collections.

    I kind of agree with you there, it's like their devs use the downloads section as the recycle bin or something. "Mr Houser, I fucked up!" [Dan Houser] "Just put it in the recycle bin, they'll lap it up."

    On another note; if anyone in the You Knighted Kingdom can download the original GTA's via Rockstar's free download's section then please tell me how.

    You mean from http://www.rockstargames.com/classics/ ? Just put in an email address and they email you the link.

    You need help, seriously. That was really uncalled for, I hope you two guys aren't representatives of iGTA5, because, I have been to several gaming forums and it's the first time I run into such lunacy. I am just shocked.

    OMG ViceMan you are so full of shit and you know it, you really think i get my ideas from other games no i don't think so, that's probably because my ideas sounds good that it's sounds like it comes from other games or maybe because i just have to many ideas but to bad it's not coming from other games because i have my own mind and ideas you must think im that kind of guy that's friendly and let you talk shit about me and get away with it. i am a cool person just don't fuck with me and don't make me feel stupid because i have better ideas then you because i notice what you are trying to do you are trying to make me feel stupid and a stand out left out person but that's not going to happen buddy, and if you don't like my ideas then shut up and deal with it for the name of hail marry.

    Chill the fuck out. Put all your ideas into one LEGIBLE post and leave it at that, okay? You're just making yourself look like a complete retard.

    what if you can walk the streets at night and get rob and when you drive through neighborhoods and see people fighting or seeing a bank get rob and when you come home late you can catch someone breaking in to your house and when they see you they can start running and you can chase them down and kill them or you can get 2 dogs to watch your house while you gone and when you just coming home from a mission you can see your dogs attacking someone that was trying to break in your house or what if you can see riots in the city and you can see people running out the stores with tv's and bikes and motorcycles or what if you find out the governor or president is part of the mafia that you having problems with and he's helping them and you can get sent on a mission to kill the governor or president and when you get caught you can get put in prison and someone can help you escape from prison in a helicopter.

    Well you know that's all fine and dandy, but there are only so many scripted events you can squeeze onto a disc/develop in reasonable time when you could instead add more things to the general gameplay. I would rather have the .wav sounds for a grenade launcher than "get 2 dogs to watch your house while you gone and when you just coming home from a mission you can see your dogs attacking someone that was trying to break in your house" because that's something I'd do in the tutorial mission and never again.

    For every gameplay feature they have to include a tutorial mission. I found RDR enough of a drag and GTA IV wasn't that much better tbh. If they put every single one of your ideas in, there would be no time to work on anything else, no space to put anything else in, and no one would be interested in playing long enough to get into the proper story missions. Some of your ideas might make someone think, "yeah, maybe that would be cool" but there are a lot of better things they could do instead. For instance, they're obviously going to be working hard on the social element of the game in GTA V and try to include the Social Club more. If they're going to do that, I'd rather they do it properly that spend time adding "you can see riots in the city and you can see people running out the stores with tv's and bikes and motorcycles" because that would be completely meaningless unless it was in the context of the story, and in that case it would only work once before it got boring. Remember in GTA SA, when you returned to Los Santos, there was the mass looting and you could see smoke pouring from rooftops? It only needed to happen once and they didn't need to do much to achieve the effect, meaning more time to work on cool shit like the Transfender garages that you could use at any time for a bit of break. If they spent more time on it and made it a more substantial part of the game, it would have taken development away from another area and you would lose a bit of the fun for something pointless.

    A lot of people found the 'friends' thing in GTA IV irritating, being phoned up every 5 minutes to go bowling. For me, a regular "there is a riot" message with episodes of not being able to go anywhere without being shot would be even more annoying than that.

    if only someone pulled their thumb out of their ass and allowed content to be run from a hard drive. Then you could install the main files to the hdd and have one disk in the drive. Although, seeing as I only have a 20gb hard drive, I'd kinda be fucked.

    Game Of The Year Oblivion and Fallout 3 both allowed you to install the expansion packs on to the 360 hdd, and you didn't have to put the discs in again. Everyone else is just lazy, it would seem.

    That was different. They were DLC packs already available on the Marketplace, just pre-loaded onto discs.

    I think MS is backing downloadable games rather than Blu-ray or another optical format for this gen. Optical discs don't offer the read speeds you need to stream or copy hi-res textures and other data to the cache.

    By the time the next Xbox comes out they could use some kind of proprietary USB flash drive to run or install games from, or something. The new Thunderbolt port offers something like 10Gbps transfer speeds and USB 3.0 isn't too shabby either, and 64GB USB drives are already getting cheap, so the technology is there.

    not to get into a fan boy battle here but for microsoft to move forwardly technology related and put an end to multidisc games would they not need to invent a disc with a higher space capacity which they already tried and failed to do so.

    Edit: obviously this will happen in the next gen. but for now it sucks for 360 users to have to switch disc

    ?? No they haven't. They backed HD-DVD for movies but didn't use it for games. It's a pity they didn't because there would have been no reason to give up on it even after BD won the format war.

    Microsoft is going to need to get their finger out and allow content discs to be installed to the hard drive. The motion capture data just takes up too much space (and will leave a 10 disc version for the 360 if they include the full-body motion that's being rumoured). They're releasing a new format in the next dashboard update so they can squeeze another GB or so but that's going to be no where near enough.

    Also I thought the PS3 supported dual layer BDs? So just have one dual layer BD for 50GB rather than 2 25s...

    Topic can stay here, nothing wrong with it.

    They're getting better - better than the U.S. governments one anyway.

    The one you posted? That isn't the US governments. The one I posted matches CNNs description better http://whitehouse.blogs.cnn.com/2011/05/03/even-more-on-the-photos/?hpt=T1

    From CNN’s National Political Correspondent Jessica Yellin

    The senior us official also says the White House received 3 sets of photos yesterday. The photos included:

    1. Photos of OBLs body at a hangar after he was brought back to Afghanistan. This is the most recognizable with a clear picture of his face. The picture is gruesome because he has a massive open head wound across both eyes. It’s very bloody and gory.

    Not necessarily saying it's real ofc.
