I had a nightmare where LSPDFR got released but Rockstar bought G17 and made LSPDFR a paid DLC. God that was my worst nightmare. Even worse than when a chinese midget butchered my family... That was bad too...

​Why not do BOTH? 

​hmmmmm I wonder what that means.......could it be......possibly maybe even be, reasonably and undoubtedly, most likely and probably, a soon to be released thing....maybe.......I don't know.

​This is a nice way to think of it.
I apologise if my absence from this topic has been alarming, and I'm sorry that we don't have something for all of you to play yet.  To be completely honest, if we had decided to set a release date, unleash the hype train and please everyone that is asking/demanding/begging for one, we'd have had a lot of very, very disappointed people on Friday.
Unfortunately we run into problems and barriers quite regularly during development.  To give you a few examples, we had a serious performance issue that was discovered just yesterday resulting in the game running at 10 FPS during certain sequences.  This was a problem caused by LSPDFR and was of the severity that it actually crashed the performance analysis tool we use.  It took a few hours to resolve, and as with a lot of things in software development, the fix to issue caused more problems than it solved.  To put it into context, and this is actually what happened, I had to spend my entire night, from 11pm until 3am re-writing one of the most crucial AI systems in the project - our custom pursuit AI.  The fix to the first issue had broken the pursuit logic, and the result was that the internal timing for it was hideously broken - with things running too fast and too slow.  Too fast meant that cops were trying to do three things at once.  Too slow meant that cops were being left to their own devices for too long, and we all know what happens when you leave the LSPD to do their own thing (it involves a hail of bullets).  So, after rewriting this pretty important part of the project to use our new timing system, what appeared to just be one problem had turned into a lot more, and we had to fix them before we could do anything else.
This is why a release date will never be given.  When we wake up, we don't know what unforeseen problems are in store for us on that day.  All I can say is that it has been a little over a week since what I promised would be the final trailer.  The banner at the top still, in typical Sam fashion, still has the branding of a 'final countdown'.  If I didn't believe that, I wouldn't keep it up there.  I understand that people might be disappointed, but I suspect that this disappointment would be multiplied by a few billion if after the 'long' wait (a month and a bit), every time you tried to get into a chase in LSPDFR, your game ran at 10 FPS, and even if you could somehow cope with that, you had better hope you didn't encounter any backup units during that pursuit as if you did, you could forget about any notion of your suspect remaining alive for more than five seconds after.  This is just some of the stuff we have to deal with.  Let's try not to add the grief of a small number of people on here to that list.

Don't let LMS catch you saying 'scripting' instead of 'coding'! 

I hope its released tomorrow or Saturday.  It would be a awesome way to start the weekend. 

Holy shit... can't wait to beat down a gangsta with my nightstick and slap the cuffs on him on the ground.

Awesome work guys !!! I'm just worried rockstar is going to hunt you guys down and steal your brains and lock them up in the development lab :p but seriously guys you are very talented and the whole community appreciates all of your hardwork . Can't wait for the release !!!

The second and final trailer for the highly anticipated sequel to LCPDFR has just been released, showcasing a number of features which have made it into the first public release of LSPDFR, including traffic stops, arrests, pursuits and of course, drinking coffee!  
Although feedback to the debut trailer for LSPDFR was, for the most part, quite overwhelmingly positive, we did understand the disappointment shown by some at the perceived lack of features.  Of course, our main priority then was to break our silence on LSPDFR and treat everyone to a very early preview.  Now, with many tireless days and nights of development under our belts, we present a more in-depth taste of things to come.
Stay tuned for more updates on LSPDFR as development comes to an end and the first public release fast approaches.
 
There's also an alternative Vimeo version available for anyone having issues with YouTube: https://vimeo.com/129257919

I am psychic.

Happy birthday!
Quick question for the staff, what will happen to these topics when LSPDFR is released? I'd assume they'd get closed since they'd no longer be relevant

I'd like to see more foot chases, yeah. Always loved it.
I already imagine how I'll pull over a Burrito full of Lost bikers, line them up with their hands on their heads, and teach them some respect for the John Law.

As I can see up the page it tells me the website is under a DDOS attack. I hope it's not from another modder but just some trolls.
