Well in my opinion this is a sign that videogames are enough important in our society. R* and The New York Times would have to be proud of being able to enjoy each other. Good for R*. Good for The New York Times.

Hey shivkat, some of us use the forum's dark skin (button at bottom left, Change Theme, I highly recommend it)...black font FTL.

[shivkat 1]

ohh . ok thanks

So I take it they mainly take lnfuence from cinema and not TV. And old cinema not contemporary. Well I guess this rules out breaking bad, the wire and treme for influences... Good read though, cheers.

In the artwork on the NY times website the plane in the background looks like a new plane i don't think we've seen before

[Bongalow 12]

Kind of like an old WWII bomber.

Lancaster or something..

[PedestrianRiotz 93]

Yes. Us british do it the best. Want proof? Look at their games and look at the latest Batman franchise, us british are getting it done properly.

The Houser brothers know a lot about marketing and they must read tons of internet blogs and comments on GTA series, very clever answers.

. It's the equivalent of, if you wrote a book, and you had two million spelling mistakes. And you had to do them by hand, in a language you didn't understand. But once it's working, you can sit there and watch the world go by. I still find that magical about them. You don't get that with anything else. The life might be fake, but it's still the closest we've come to a living artwork. I think that's the core appeal of them. ----Damn

I wonder who the antagonist is out of the three characters. I hope it is Trevor, But by the looks of everything the storyline of the main 3 look to be a lot more interconnected than in gtaiv and the dlc.

Looks a bit like a 4-engine variant of ^that^ aircraft.

EDIT: Nope, that plane in the art's got two engines. There appear to be a couple probes of some kind on the wingtips. Interesting...

Maybe one of the engines can fail, would be fun to fly with a broken engine...
