Thread Closed Until It Be Cleaned

Seriously, posting links to youtube is one thing.

Posting your own screenshots of a game that is not release until 5 days from now, a whole other thing.

I mean seriously, should I really have to delete 67 comments??

My apologies to anyone whose comment I deleted and was on topic, I did my best, but literally there was about 6 pages of just pure nonsense.

I think it goes without saying keep your own screenshots out, keep the talk about pirated games out, etc.

In fact, I really do not see how there should be one comment about gameplay until the 29th. If you are so upset at that fact, go to a forum that allows discussion about pirated software. We have not, and never will, tolerate that.

With that said, it is a grey line about linking to videos on youtube, scans on other sites, etc. It is not always clear what is right and wrong in those regards. If it is a reputable, well known site, Use your discretion, and if someone feels it is inappropriate, report it, and many thanks to the members who did report this thread already. Thank you.

Nice one DirtyLarry. (Y)

Thankfully around here it should be pretty easy to get a copy at a store, a friend of mine is unable to reserve his through Gameplay, so is just going to go into a store and get the PS3 version.

I imagine in denser areas it's going to be more difficult.

Ya...I'm in NYC and I didn't reserve the game. I think I am just going to try at different locations and hopefully get the game.

Also, a few Best Buys are opening at 12 AM on Tuesday. http://kotaku.com/383236/best-buy-announce...aunch-locations

If you didn't preorder the game maybe you can get there early enough to get the game.

OMG hav u guys seen the wat happens when ur drunk?

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/207155.html

Only video I watched thus far, but was the person taking the movie drunk? framing was all over the place :(

I don't know how iCon got hold of GTA IV this early, although it is a recurring trend with GTA games to be leaked early. A curse of their popularity.

I think the dodgy camera work might be whats actually going on in the game. It takes a skilled camera man to wobble so precisely :D

My mistake, I didn't notice the edge of the screen waving around.

In summary, the guy is skilled idiot

Is there an option to put a seatbelt or something?? I thought I remebered reading something about that.. :huh:

But yea, the Euphoria animation engine is amazing in what little I have seen, I do hope other games start to use it.

My Play.com pre-order's status is now Processing, so with any luck they'll send it tonight...

That really isn't going to happen. The amount of people ordering from Play.com means that if you ordered any time within the last month and a half or so, your gonna be waiting a hell of a long time.

Incidentally, Game have a release-day delivery guarantee going, but of course thats only for us Brits. I canceled my order with Play.com to put one in with Game so that I'd get it on the day :laugh:

I ordered on 9th Feb :) Some people are reporting that Play has already despatched their orders so anything's possible, really.

Processing here :D

Whats the first thing you will do when get GTA? Ingame of course

I think me and a couple of friends will be going into Free-roam online together if we can just to explore the place :D

It's likely we'll all get into the single player missions though :p

Why? Why is it a whole other thing

In the YouTube case, you are posting a video that shows screenshots/video gameplay from another person

In posting screenshots/video gameplay here, you are posting a video a shows screenshots/video game made by you

There is no difference.

There is quite a difference. We do not and will never promote piracy here. By posting a link to a YouTube video from a random person, nobody here is showing that they've pirated the game or purchased it earlier than they should have. But by posting your own shots, you're pretty much saying, "Yeah, it was me, I did it," and showing that you have pirated the game or otherwise obtained it earlier than you're supposed to.

Talk of piracy is not allowed here, so it should follow that promoting piracy by showing screenshots of a game you have pirated is also not allowed.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
