If i remove the HDD of the 360 and create a new profile on a dedicateed memory card just to play this game b4 the release, is there still some kind of internal hardware inside the xbox360 that could keep a trace that this game has been played before the official release date ?

yes, everthing is saved in the rumble motors of your gamepad, so its impossible to play a game without one

Even if they did, what would M$ do? Playing a game before it's releasedate isn't breaking the EULA.
What if you worked at a games store and played the game early? Would that justify a Live-ban? Nope.
If you get banned, it's not because you played a pirated game before it's release - it's because you played a pirated game, plain and simple. We all know we will be banned sooner or later on Live, and i personally believe it'll be when the new Fall-update comes. |

Anybody try the DiPLODOCUS release yet? And is it region free? Or at least playable on NTSC.

Your Xbox would probably self-destruct, I wouldn't take the chance.

Nah, the first group didn't use the compression method 'da scene' uses. Just scene BS.

still some grps are shameless enough to steal this "illegitimate" copy, repack it and distribute it as their rls...^^

How is the game...?
Is it better than the first one...?
Did they change anything...?
I recall a trailer that showed someone driving a sewage truck. They were driving in a busy part of town and spraying people with raw sewage. It looked fun, not something you can do in GTA. That's gotta be something different.

Since the first the release is region free this is a bit irrelevant. Anyway ...

Wow, the game is... bad 
I'm going to compare this to GTA IV now:
- The graphics are bad. I mean, it looks.. well, just bad! I cannot believe how much better GTA looks!
- Physics suck, just ride a motorcycle and you'll understand.
- It has glitches and weird physics-bugs.
- Sound? Weapon sounds are the same, or very similar, to the ones in SR1. The vehicles also sound crappy.
- No cover system at all. When you drive, you can choose between full throttle or full brake. A for accel and X for braking. Feels really, really cheap.
- The interface is almost exactly the same as SR1, little to no update whatsoever.
- Storyline is not even a bit interesting. Same city, but now, a huge corporation has more or less taken over the city, so parts of it looks different. It just feels so cheap, uninteresting and half-assed.

I guess GTA4 have made our standards too high. Iv seen quite some MP gameplay from SR2 and yeah of course GTA 4 is way better. But meh.. nothing else to play. And I think its more too do in this game after you have completed the story.

No, this isn't really about standards being too high - the game just isn't very good!
I mean, i remember SR1 fairly, and this is just not a worthy sequel, by far.

Okay, thats a plus. But that's a small plus in a sea of negatives..

So the game was "Rushed" to meet a release date instead of delayed for development time.
Or is it possible that more development time couldn't fix what your talking about _SiN_

piggymouth: Perhaps, doesn'r really matter why, it is what it is, and it's not good.
Mortibus: Every damn game? SA and GTA are two games in the same genre, it couldn't be more natural then to compare the two.
And it deosn't even matter if i compare it to GTA, this game is NOT especially good, no matter HOW you spin it.

Lol what!? 
No you might be right. Playing as a criminal (in 3rd person) in a fictional city, shooting people, stealing and driving cars, escaping the pigs, rival gangs, etc, etc are all coinsidences. |
so what do u expect for them to come up with, raising a family and taking kids to school, hell i don't want to play unendable sims
it's like saying every movie that has gangsters, shooting etc is rip off from first movie that had it
why then nobody comparing GTA to Driver, coz Driver was first 3d sandbox game

Runs like ass, Like the first one, Plenty screen tearing, Plenty bugs, You think they would have learned from there mistakes from the first one, I won't be in any rush to play it again.

Saints Row was based entirely off GTA idiot, the developers said they wanted to copy gta but make it less serious and more funny and to be first next gen sandbox game. If GTA didnt exist then Saints Row wouldnt.

If you consider Driver the first 3d sandbox game, we might as well call Turbo Esprit the first one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_Esprit
SR developers can do whatever they want, but to not call their games GTA-like would be an understatement of gigantic porpotions. Actually one would think that SR would benefit being even more GTA-like, considering how bad this game sounds.
