Where are those posters from?

 

Not sure, they look like billboard posters as they look like they've been pasted to a surface. I get all my info from gtaforums / reddit.

 

As for the map, I was hoping for area 51 from Andreas :( but damn, 3 airports :p

I do hope car physics are the same as in GTA IV - difficult driving is great on off-road tracks.

Maybe we will meet old gta characters from Vice City or so.

 

They are going to be similar but they are going to be easier to control. So you can actually use the handbrake and slide a car properly. Unlike GTAIV.

I think it has been compared to Midnight Club LA.

 

 

I'm really conflicted about getting GTA V. On one hand it looks awesome and on the other i want to hold off till it's released for the next-gen consoles (which it obviously will) and i don't want to get it for both.

 

If they gave a timeframe or even confirmed it then, yes. It would be the way to go. I can't see it appearing till next year on PC and Next Gen. Do you think you can wait that long?

Im torn for different reasons. It looks good to me but after the stinker that was GTA4 im not sure i want to risk it. That game got perfect reviews from everywhere and it was one of the most boring games I have played, such a disappointment.

It's looking like after every passing day, the less i can wait. So basically, i'll have it by the end of the month :p

I kind of agree with you about GTA4.  Even though i completed the main storyline i didn't really stay to do anything else. I'm going to wait for some gameplay videos but from what i've seen so far it looks like it's a step in the right direction and the environments look more varied and fun.

big open areas are easy to make, but there is a lot less to see and do pre square mile comparing the city to majority of the map.

The 'empty' areas are nice but how empty are they? GTA:San andreas pulled it off decently, if that. No one really traveled in the big open desert (tip top of the map mostly) but now there is a lot more space. I just hope the roads don't feel long and boring with nothing to do around them. I hope there is more to these long road besides getting from point A to point B.

I actually really enjoyed just aimlessly driving down the roads in SA. I hope that there are some sections that take 3+ min to drive down, and nothing to really see. It reminds me of the outside world..... just without that awful sun.

One of my favorite parts of San Andreas were the long useless roads to nowhere... And then you stumble upon a little Gas station or something and it's just so comfy to me. I'm so excited for this game, damnit!

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.

      26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By WrongHead™ · Posted

      It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
