Well I'm excited to hear an update, but I guess with all the problems Sam mentioned we probably won't be seeing it this week, which is fine I guess, take your time!

​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.

​Nice, gotta love them ads. But I think we all know what the real question is: What is hidden behind tab #4? HMMMMMM?

​haha I almost fell for something like that too :D
that looks like an old OS :P

Honestly when it comes to map mods for V, I would love to see a small suburban city. Just an average town with maybe a slightly bigger downtown and the rest being small-large residential areas and commercial areas. The big city stuff is cool, but so would a smaller suburb city.

I have my last exam in an hour, so I give you permission to release it haha :D
I'm just so pumped to actually have a game that won't crash as much with mods :D :D :D :D :D :D

​Better start rioting then. I predict it'll be a week or 2 until LSPDFR is released

​Good luck.

I hope that we can mod cars so we can get better Crown vic models ETC

​Good luck.

They've shut the other thread :(
anyway, I don't think that they'll release it before Rage is released.

I hope it doesn't come out until after next week, I have my hardest AS exams on Wednesday and Thursday :(

​I do hope there's a box of edible goods (preferably cookies) making their way to me in return for posting the trailer before 11:30 BST :)

Looks like I was completely wrong :( 
Sorry for the hype everyone, I hope you accept my apology :D

​I'm guessing (complete speculation) that it allows gta4 scripts to be converted to gta5 easily.

​God dammit! Now you've got me excited for something that might not actually happen!

I know a lot of things have already been suggested in this thread, but I'd like to add another suggestion to that growing list.
Hopefully it'd be easy to implement. My idea is to split police audio into two categories - "aggressive" and "passive". What I mean by that is, for instance, when first pulling someone over, over the loudspeaker instead of yelling "PULL THE F*CK OVER!" instead a more calm audio file is selected. I feel like it breaks immersion a little when they suddenly yell at a driver when attempting to pull them over because one of their tail lights isn't working.
As I said, hopefully this wouldn't be too hard to do.

I feel like all this is just getting out of hand and information is just being thrown everywhere lol everyone wants LSPD:FR so bad that they are pretending to have it.. I guess that's a good thing? O.o haha

Sleep is for the weak!

​Nope, but should be soon!

​yeh. I don't care if there is only one callout in the first release as it would hopefully mean it will be more stable :D anyway I can wait as I know it will be worth it :D
Good luck G17
