As was recommended on the 'Terrible Game Movies' thread, gonna watch the cutscenes from MP 1 and 2 to get in the mood

I just hope that Dick Justice and Captain Baseball-Bat Boy make an appearance.

Is all this DLC for the multi-player? If so then bollox to that, no interest in it tbh. 3rd Person PVP Multiplayer nearly always annoys me. I've no interest in playing it for anything other than single player.

Zero-Cool

ya looks it, R* said supporting a game the online game is the way to keep a game relevant, especially in a story driven single player game. Still, the MP would want to be fairly class to warrant spending 50 quid on DLC. R* are releasing a new MP video today at 5pm that will show off how bullet time works in MP.

"Relevant" = prevent 2nd hand sales / illegal downloading.

well what else could it mean?

Zero-Cool

Exactly and you can't blame devs for wanting to keep a franchise alive to keep making money. Beats a lazy online pass anyway.

Do R* do online passes? can't remember

Ah it looked okay, bit mental with the amount of players though. Looks class bullet diving at each other in slo mo like in the pic attached

If you're going to pick it up just get the €15 PS+ sub, get it free and there's a tonne of other free games this month to get aswell for the extra €5.

I fell for it too but my logic is that it's exceedingly cheap even for pc gaming. I was also somewhat nervous that it was mispriced so now that the transaction is done I have no worries. :pac:

Shiminay

Yea, that multiplayer demo video - I won't be bothering with that.

If Rockstar go down the usual console route of giving us 5 or 6 hours of a single player campaign because they've spent all their time on a multi-play that no one in their right mind should want, I will be extremely pissed off.

Zero-Cool

Ah no one should be buying this solely for the online. I don't think R* would comprimise the single player but only so much you can do with a linear shooter. It looks very like RDR online which I didn't like but then I didn't like RDR so will just have to wait and see. I'd say single player will be class and if online is any good, then thats just a bonus.

If there's one thing Rockstar doesn't do it's skimp on the single player experience. If anything you could argue they go the opposite direction and make their games overly long.

I think they'll do this justice though, I love their style of narrative and if they blend in all the elements of max 1 and 2 it should be excellent.

+1, they do seem to be putting a lot of emphesis into the MP, lets hope it doesn't end up with COD syndrome and a lackluster SP campaign :rolleyes::rolleyes: . Tis looking good so far though, really looking forward to it

Nice vid. Really starting to get excited for this now.

Anyone know, is it the same voice actor doing Max as in 2? Maybe it's just because a lot of time has passed but going by the above video he doesn't have the same gravelly nature as in the other games....

Zero-Cool

Thats a great vid on GTTV. When MP 3 was first announced, I wrote it off as I thought it lost it's noir but thats after convincing me of otherwise. Class how the drugs and drink affect you during gameplay.

Just 2 more weeks.

Yeah there was an entire section of the video where James McCaffrey was interviewed.

Just started playing through the original last night and it still holds up pretty well. Will try get through 1 and 2 before I get my hands on 3 but with Diablo out in a few days that's probably not going to happen for awhile.

Jeronimo Barrera also has some awesome tattoos. So that sells it for me. :pac: Actually a fairly logical progress to add drug problems given the amount of painkillers that he's taken over the years. :pac:

Holy crap on a pointy stick, that looks sh|t beyond belief! So if someone goes bullet time, the entire game slows down? Jebus; you won't know if it's lag, hacks, or bullet time. Or all three.

=-=

Will probably get it for the single player, but can't see myself playing the multiplayer.

Pretty cool short movie

@ the_syco, if u activate bullet time, only people in your line of sight goes into bt as well, sounds strange, interested to see how it works.

Genghiz Cohen

I'd compare Bullet Time to a FlashBang in CS:S. An unexpected, uncontrollable hindrance that there is a very short list of things you can do to counter it. But a huge tactical advantage for the user and hopefully only used very rarely.

A rechargeable flashbang, it would seem...

Kotaku released a vid with a detailed explanation of how bullet time is going to work. I'm actually looking forward to trying this in MP.

any good videos of 'single player' gameplay other than trailers??

Zero-Cool

This is brilliant!! Crews are now live on the Rockstar website. I created a Boards.ie crew (not sure how it knows what console you have or if xbox and ps3 users can be in the same crew)

Anyway, go to the link below and request to join it, I can't seem to send out invites.

http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/crew/boards-ie

The crew name is Boards-ie

I will work on the emblem and make it a bit better but it's a start. For joining a crew before the game is out, we will have Founder Crew status and get unlocks for it. Details from Rockstar below.

http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/33861/crew-up-register-and-rally-your-crew-now-at-the-allnew-social-cl.html

These crews will also carry over to GTA V.

If any of ye have friends who are gonna get MP 3, tell em to send me a request as well.

EDIT: Oh ya, Rockstar's 1st MP3 online event is Friday 18th from 9pm to Midnight. I'll definitely jump on to see what thats like.

The classic character preorder pack details are below. I would only want that to play as Max sowon't be shelling out extra for it. And even at that, I'd prefer to play as 2d face Max from MP 1
