Yeah, I'll really miss all that
"roadfeel" a dump truck gets ;) this would actually be great as an mode for EPS, especially in big cruisers.

GTAV: First Lick

I always read it as Xbox One now instead of "xbone lulz boners"

Yes, they use more power and produce more heat. You can build them on mini ITX platforms that are fairly small though for no additional cost. Also this is much smaller than the Xbox/ps3 and there is no real reason for that.

Controls are terrible? wtf? They work perfectly, the cover system is a little wonky, but... wut?

I think the Altima also looks bad, my head feeks like they put the wrong panel on the car and went "oops lets fix that" but not terrible like the Chevy.

Yeah, especially with so much animation required, these look pretty good all things considered.

Mike, will you be doing a review? I know you mostly concentrate on handhelds but I would love the offical (or unofficial as it may be) Mike Fahey review of this game. Mostly because it will give me insane ideas. Secondly because Trevor is the videogame version of you (or at least your writing persona).

works fine on the Z since it matches the flow of the body.

I miss the green =( it's ugly but for nostalgic purposes I love it.

Fucking hate sunroofs, it took a while to find my Abarth without one.

You wouldn't want the land to be flat would you? Thats where you run into an issue, though I guess the waves from GTAIV's water could be fixed in place to create "dunes" dynamically, it would still look pretty stupid.

I guess an endless desert would be feasible, though for some reason I don't think the XBOX/PS3 would like it.

guess you are right, i never played it though, what happened above the city?

It would set your wanted level to max if you left the area.

All the 3D ones have been Islands and the original GTA as well, GTA2 got around that by being top down and just having a border of buildings. Red Dead Redemption (Green Spleen Submarine) had mountains that were too steep to climb and your character couldn't swim, actually I'm surprised RDR got away with it, but the…

Pretty easy to fix in most games, though most graphics cards will struggle at those resolutions.

This map isn't particularly detailed I would think.

Right, I know that, but it has the effect of increasing the feeling of NOT being on an island, which is why everyone feels it's weird, this is like LA and Hawaii mixed together, it seems odd.

Instead you could add tire "wedge"?
