GTA IV Trailer Released, Slows Sites
Mr_Congeniality writes "The much-anticipated trailer for the next chapter in the Grand Theft Auto series has been released. Rockstar's servers, including the one that hosts Rockstar's homepage, was completely overloaded with traffic last night as a result. Users desperately flocking to other websites like GTANet and GTA4.net, but even these websites were overloaded by the interest level. If these sites are still slow, try GameTrailers or GameVideos as an alternative. For analysis of the video, CVG has ten things you may have missed, while 1up's editors offer their opinions on what they saw."
Yes / No ~ I am willing to help test Slashdot's New Server Overloading System.
One thing many people missed is the reference to the movie Koyaanisqatsi. The music was taken from the original movie score, by Philip Glass, and the 'fast-motion' scenes are a direct reference to scenes from the movie.
Also, much of the movie was shot in, you guessed it, New York.
What kind of a game is Greater Toronto Area?
So what exactly do you want them to stick on the BluRay disc? I'm sure that they can stick multiple copies of the game on the disc to compensate for the slow loading time (like Bethesda did with Oblivion).
If you're in the mood for hours of FMV's, then I'm sure FFXIII will satisfy your needs.
The bottom line is - developers don't know *what* to do with all that disc space. Blaming MS for that is idiotic.

I particularly enjoyed the desert missions just outside of las venturas in the last third of the game. I actually wished there was more of them, the desert was my favorite setting. If you keep playing, you leave the las angeles-ish ghetto and go on to a san fransisco-ish and las vegas-ish city each with a very particulary feel to them. Then there's the desert surrounding vegas and the coutry surrounding the other cities. You actually become a sort of fish out of water at that point and converse with a diverse cast of pot-heads, gov spies, and various types really. The only real thugs were your peers in your hood, and it is there where the story is anchored but the game is so much bigger than that. You should really play it through.
No. Of course one game is never actually going to be worth the cost of an entire video game system, and appropriate accessories. However, couple it with some Gears of War, Assassin's Creed, Blue Dragon, etc. and I believe you have a strong argument for the system.
On one hand you can't justify a system for a single game, but, on the other hand you have so much more to consider with the 360 than just this little rehash.
I read the script, and I think it would help my character's motivation if he was on fire. -Bender
HAHAHAHAHA! Only an American could complain about foul language in a game where the aim is to drive around killing people, and for all intents and purposes, you play eazy e.
