2007-03-30 14:48:01 gta trailer realised something

This maybe a possiblity I'm not sure if it has any substance

The game may also have a remodeled vice city (THE WORDS IN CAPITAL LETTERS)

Shot Number: 1
Time Code: 00:00-00:06
Description: A train passes by on a rail in Liberty City. A SIGN IN THE BACK LEFT SAYS "VISIT VICE CITY - $300." A billboard advertises the airline flyUS. Another sign says "Mega Mart, Silver, Watches, Sports Wear, Games, Glasses, Shirts." A sign at the right begins to emerge, but the train quickly hides it. Notice at the left of the shot, it is a place to get on a train...a platform. Notice the gaseous substance coming from air units attached into windows on the housing...a sign of the season? A sign of seasons in the game?

That'd be awesome if you could travel to all the cities in the past games, or even just between Liberty City and Vice City. I just hope this game hasn't skimped on the planes.

Why would they cut the planes out of GTA IV, but have left them in San Andreas. Makes no sense.

2001 was 6 years ago. GTA San Andreas came out in 2004, and didn't suffer reprisals for having planes, even though there were rumors they'd be cut. Even if it was set in Liberty City, cutting the planes from the whole game would be pretty extreme. Might as well remove the C4 packs as well.

This could have totally been posted in the GTA trailer thread. But never mind that--where's this sign that says "Visit Vice City"? I just watched the trailer like 3 times, I see no such sign...am I blind? There's a sign with the numbers 300 near the train, but I don't see the words Vice City anywhere.

well if sanandreas had 3 cities on a dvd9 then i suspect gtaiv can do the same..no?

with better technology comes better compression techniques...you cant just say it aint possible without having a notion what your talking about...not saying I do...but I dont think you do either

blue ray in my opinion isnt needed...just shit fed to mugs so they'll say WOW! now games will be much better, so far blue ray + games hasn't been worth shit!

ManThatYouFear's sarcasm aside--you figure that if GTA:SA had three cities on one DVD9 (with much lower resolution assets, far fewer textures, etc) then they should be able to cram SA/VC/LC all into one DVD9? Zuh?

You can fit all three games (GTAIII through San Andreas) onto one DVD9 probably, but that doesn't mean you'd be able to fit the new and improved Liberty City onto one DVD9 with the new and improved VC/SA. This may be one case where a high capacity format would aid such a goal...

But never mind that idea anyway. Liberty City will be new and improved, and much larger than it was in previous games (I wouldn't be surprised if it's larger than SA) I figure too. I actually do doubt there would be room for the entirety of all three main GTA locations on one DVD9 at that level of quality. You may hold a poor opinion of Blu Ray (for whatever reason) but the fact is that if you want to see such lofty goals achieved so soon, we're going to need more than 9 gigs of storage.

It sure would be interesting if VC was in the game but I sorta doubt that too. Why bother when they can just make VC2 later and it will be like printing free money?

I don't think anything has made good use of the additional storage yet, but I do think that it could be put to good use. Resistance could have been crammed onto a DVD9, I don't doubt that. High bit-rate videos are taking up a large portion of space on that disc, and they're generated with in game graphics so they could have just used real time cut scenes instead. Compression will only get you so far, I don't know how good their tools are, but I'm guessing that GTA:IV will be quite a bit bigger than GTA:III regardless, which was actually pretty small. GTA:III fits on a 4.5 gig DVD I'm pretty sure..

I don't think DVD9 was a mistake, they never could have finished the Xbox 360 in 2005 and shipped it with a large capacity format. It's also in their favor I think to sit it out and see what format becomes standard..but DVD9 won't be a comfortable standard forever.

DVD9 is fine for now though, and even if developers wanted more space, they can make due with those limitations and still pump out some awesome stuff. We've already seen plenty to support that.

also i dont think multidisc would be a problem for me....if its 2 big just multidisc it...remember re4 on the gc,i didn't mind that at all
