Meh, seems like it's just a more advanced version of gta


What has every GTA game been since GTA3? People still lap them up.

I think it's a great game in it's own right, and it means the wait for GTA4 will be far more bearable.

Well, every FPS is a wolfenstein 3D game just better gfx,physics and effects etc.. Nothing original with them either.

Every RTS is a Populus wannabe, just better of the same as mentioned before.

List goes on...

Yeah it's similar to GTA, but it's just so much fun.

This game is fucking ownage, love the demo!
Even pre-ordered it Smile

Can someone tell me If the tires turn like shit on the cars...? Can be seen in this video..
http://xboxyde.com/stream_2845_en.html
It seems like the tires turn DIRECT..no middle thing...when you turn just a little, the whole fucking tire turns..?


oh btw, gettin' past the red barriers limiting the demo.(Can't confirm)
Quote:

just drive any car side ways up to the barrier and then park it a few feet from the barrier and then hit Y two times very quickly and your guy will jump strait through the barrier. easy. done. works every time.


In the comments I think.

It's goddamn awesome! The physics, graphics, special effects, fighting, animation, and gunplay combine to make an awesome game.

It's actually fun to shoot people now, whereas in GTA it felt like a chore, especially with the autoaim on the console versions.

One really great moment was when I was beating up this women testing out my unarmed moves and then these two guys came running over to help her. I pulled out my shotgun and smacked one in the face as he was running. Then the other guy started running off while I kicked the other to death.

Another time I threw a pipebomb at these two guys and as they went to run away one of them slipped and got caught by the explosion. It looked really realistic.

Would you ever be scared AnimalMother of your post being used in a tabloid expose on the horrors of violent videogames Very Happy

Haha, yeah, I do enjoy violent videogames I must admit, not sick, just violent. Great for relieving stress.

Actually I watched this detective program a couple of days ago and basically the story was about some serial killer who went mental after playing 'Murder one: San Francisco'. It really didn't do the cause any favours, and I can imagine alot of parents stopping their kids from playing GTA after that.

I have a feeling that Dead Rising is going to bring out the worst in me. Very Happy

Thus far I find the comments really, really encouraging. I'd wondered though in the GTA series part of the appeal was the story and standard of writing combined with great voice acting and dark humour. I'd even add the OST and radio station to the list of outstanding things about the game.

From playing the demo do you guys think Saints Row is a title which is going to have the story and humour to back it up or are they going down a completely different route. (or is it impossible to say from just playing a demo of the game) Smile

I think the reason why the main character hasn't got a voice is because they want the player to become the main character. You can customise the character to such an extent you can at least create a likeness to yourself, and I believe the developers want to immerse the player as much as possible through this.

In GTA: San Andreas, you played as TJ. In this they want you to play as yourself in an alternate reality.

The story seems strong and there is definitely some great humour even though there are only a few missions in the demo.

bodies don't disappear until you move away in all versions except Germany (bodies disappear and no blood) and Australia (bodies disappear).

We're supposed to be able to kick the bodies around and run over them repeatedly for that bump, bump effect, but instead, the second they die, they fade away.

Cancelled my pre-order because I don't know what else is going to recieve the chop and I don't want to risk buying a gimped version.

i took the demo disk home from work and noticed in the US version you can kick and run em over.. the game is fun, nothing too special though. I still think fight night 3 is best title on 360.

Well there is no blood in the demo but the bodies do stay put.

I am sure I have seen blood from gunshot hits. Its not detailed blood but like a small haze of red which Im sure is supposed to be blood as I remember thinking that was a bit lame for blood effects.

I thought the demo was censored anyway because minors could easily get hold of it. But the full game of course can't be sold to anyone under 18 and so all the blood will be present.

I didnt think it was censored. The demo is full of harsh language or does that not count in this day and age? lol

Yeah, I don't think the blood was just censored for the demo ver. I read a interview somewhere that the amount of blood was going to be pretty tame compared to others. Which seems like a strange decision, given the M rating, and how realistically violent the game is even without pools of blood. I don't think they will be sued any less just cuz they went easy on the arterial spray. But meh...their decision i guess.

Huh, I didn't get any disappearing bodies. How could the glitch only occur on some systems when everones 360's are the same?

There is an AK-47 outside the demo wall. Plus there are 2 or 3 different stores outside you can visit along with riding the train. Check www.gamefaqs.com and www.youtube.com for info.

AK-47 like the other guy said.
Pipe bombs (you can buy em after you complete the 1st mission).
Molotov cocktails (Can only get them off of certain dead gang members)

Some other fun thing I was doing was running and jumping garbage bags or tires. It makes you fly high as hell, especially near walls.
