Please feel free to explain to me what is so wrong with the disc copy? I've got the complete edition as a disc copy. I much prefer it over the steam version due to these reasons; If I don't have an internet connection and want to re-install, I can. Steam can't. If my internet is slow, I don't have to worry about re-downloading the game If my account is suddenly hacked / closed, I don't lose the copy of the game. I have a steam account, but I still do like the occasional disc copy of games

There's limits on what people can do in a video game. It doesn't have to fully treated like a real life scenario

This actually looks incredible.

Its possible. All AI in every game follow pathnodes, there are literally hundreds (if not thousands) of these in each area of LC, the cars just simply follow each one and have no regard for surroundings. This can be seen when an ambulance just rams into buildings and pedestrians to get to the next path node when its on a callout. Same goes for a car just endlessly ramming up against a side wall without thinking to find another way around. These nodes, for the traffic, are placed neatly in the middle of each lane of road on the map, the cars spawned on them will just go straight from one to the other. In IV however, they have been given some sort of situational awareness and do swerve (badly) around objects in the road that shouldn't be there such as another car or pedestrian. If you look at San Andreas for example, the cars in that game will NEVER attempt to overtake the player when they are in the standard driving mode. When in the aggressive mode, they'll try and get around the player but will most likely sideswipe them. A few months ago, myself and Sniper296 managed to discover the pathnodes in the game directory, he opened them in 3DS max but we were stumped from there on how to move them or modify them. People who create custom maps with traffic have done it so there is definitely a way.

1. Yup, They are. 2. Its bigger than IV, SA and RDR combined. 3. It wouldn't surprise me, looks like theres tons of vehicles in this one 4. Already semi-confirmed. You can buy businesses however like in Vice City

Whilst its sad to see the only person who put out some British mods for IV leave, I can't say I'm disappointed or anything. Everywhere I've seen or heard his name, The bad news just follows, constantly. He'll really need to pull something out of the bag to gain the trust of the modding community

It wasn't due to all the online rage, it was because Sony basically forced them. Hell, if I worked for Microsoft and saw the glorious reaction Sony got at E3, I'd seriously re-think my ideas.

I had to blink twice.. Sorry, what?

I've learned never to trust a "rumor" unless Rockstar have posted it on one of their many social networks.

Remove any graphic enhancing modifications you may have too.

I recommend Third Watch Fantastic Program, although its a pain finding all the seasons.

GOD DAMMIT. Either way, I think the gaming community deserves a massive hug.

[snip] Although I'm still probably going with Sony for this Generation, I've gotta hand it to the gaming community. We done something incredible, its not everyday a major company like Microsoft goes back on two major game changers.

I remember you. This has potential, keep it up.

Could use the Jimmy Petrovic house interior and use objects to solidify it. Pretty cool though

Because DayZ has nothing on this game. @OP - If it was released on both platforms (360 and PS3) then we could've seen it, but seeing as its a PS3 exclusive I wouldn't get your hopes up

It'd be awesome if the game allowed you to use different wheels for each axis. Other than that, awesome work!

MASSIVE TITLE TO EXPRESS MY EXCITEMENT Smaller Italic subtitle to address the main discussion of this thread I've been meaning to make this thread ever since the game was announced at E3 with the teaser trailer but I've only just found the time to get around to it. Anywho, without further ado; STARWARS: BATTLEFRONT (3) IS FINALLY IN DEVELOPMENT! I honestly jumped around the room a few times and cheered quite loudly when I saw the title splash onto my screen, the excitement quickly built as the teaser played and the snowspeeder slammed into the snow of what seems to be Hoth. This is something I, along with many others, have been waiting for since 2005 with constant bad news for this troubled franchise. For those of you who played the original Battlefront games, you'll know how special these games were. Even if you didn't watch the films you'd seemingly spend hours having some of the best video game moments of your life. I was 10 years old when I finally got to play Battlefront II (That's EIGHT years ago!) and man did I love it, the large scale battles of the conquest game mode where large amounts of units went against eachother to capture key strategic areas of famous maps seen in the films. The campaign was relatively good too (remember, this was 2005) with some voice actors from the movies reprising their roles and narration being provided by the actual Bobba Fett. Galatic Conquest was pretty awesome too. You fought against the enemy to control the galaxy by acquiring credits and spending them on new transport ships and starcruisers and attacking enemy-controlled planets. The History of Battlefront III and its troubles During and after the game's development, screenshots and gameplay footage became accessible to the public. In December 2008, Star Wars character renders bearing a Battlefront III watermark surfaced from a laid-off Free Radical employee.[10] The following month, gameplay footage was leaked from a November 2008 Free Radical in-house showing of Battlefront III footage.[11] The footage was pulled from IGN after LucasArts demanded its removal.[12] On April 1, 2012, a user on the game journalist website Betagames discovered Star Wars models and textures buried in Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City's archives; PC Gamer's Tom Senior speculated that these could have been from Battlefront III.[13] Also in April 2012, Past to Present revealed pre-alpha footage of Free Radical Design's Battlefront III.[14]YouTube videos showing the game's rough state received media attention from outlets such as Joystiq,[15]Kotaku,[16] and Shacknews.[17] Digital Trends speculated that Star Wars: First Assault might help LucasArts recover some of their previous investment in Battlefront III and other projects in the franchise.[18] However, shortly after LucasArts shut down, Kotaku reported that LucasArts had been developing Battlefront III internally under the code name "Version Two" So, what now? Now, fans of the franchise across the globe eagerly await more details from EA and DICE. A massive amount of pressure is upon these companies to not screw up the game and completely make a mess of it. Here's hoping they can deliver. Final Thoughts I'm sure there's some other fans of this fantastic game here (With over 80,000 members, there has to be). What are your thoughts on this recent announcement? What are your best memories of the series? Sidenote: You can purchase Battlefront II on Steam for around £7 and the online is still very active!

I thought it hadn't been released yet?

When asked what players should do if they don't have an internet connection, Microsoft responded: "Honestly, they should stick to the 360. Don't bother getting an Xbox One" Nice to see they are catering for all their customers, thats the final nail in the coffin for me, time to see if my old friend Sony will take me back after years of neglecting them.

I think I just had a crisis.

Sony have too won me back. I traded my PS3 in years ago for a 360, purely because all my friends had one. I had some amazing times on the 360 and I'll be keeping mine purely for GTA V but I'll be heading back to my Sony roots with the PS4, Microsoft have lost a ton of fans from these "exciting new features".
