Ricky Gervais apparently has a cameo role as a stand-up comedian in the Liberity City Comedy Club. Not sure if he's playing himself or a character, but it apparently it includes multiple 3 minute long skits with new material by him as well as jokes from his latest tour.

Taking a stab in the dark based on the release dates of the GTA III games, I'd say 6 months to a year.

Never mind, if you got it ages ago it'll probably die soon. Then you can send it away to get fixed and it'll come back even louder.

Motion captured and all!

Awesome description of the improved AI system:
Quote:
Steve started walking Niko through the city while he spoke to me about various features in the game...more music than ever...lots of Eastern European music that hasn't been released in America...very cool stuff. But perhaps the coolest thing I saw while he was playing was when he stopped touching the controller. Niko stood still while Steve was occupied with something and right there, a taxi got rear-ended by another car.

What followed was pure magic.

The cabbie and the guy who hit the taxi jumped out of their cars and approached each other. Once they got in to each others' face the fists started flying. Meanwhile, cars are honking for the two vehicles to get out of the way. The two keep slugging away and a cop pulls up. He jumps out with his pistol drawn and both men throw their hands to the sky, surrendering. The cop then drags the cabbie away (he punched first), puts him in the backseat of the cop car and drives off. The other driver returns to his car, gets in and pulls away.

Holy shit.

This whole routine was not staged...it just happened, and we were just there in the right spot to catch it all.

Stuff like that...subtle things, like bumping in to someone with your shoulder makes them give you a dirty look as they walk past...authentic dialects from all over the world...all of this makes this game excellent.

On the subject of music, Rockstar haven't announced all of the radio channels or music tracks yet, but GTA4.net has a good list of the stations and songs that have been announced so far: http://www.gta4.net/music/

Re: GTAIV (PS3, Xbox 360) Chat

I've never really been into any of the GTA series since the very first one, but some of this shit looks sweet. Similarly, mutliplayer online gaming ain't my deal, but reading up on some of the stuff this game has to offer sounds immense.

Re: GTAIV (PS3, Xbox 360) Chat

I've completely dingied all info about this game, which is surprising 'coz I was fanboy2k8 for San Andreas. I'll probably buy it on day of release though. Fuck these pricks releasing it 2 weeks before my exams.
