Well with people playing it early it is not fair for the rest of us, do you guys think that Rockstar will delete all the stats that this people are getting before release, i can already imagine some guy logging in at 12:01 to the Rockstar club and posting everything...

I mean, look at this :( ... http://i31.tinypic.com/29ighu.jpg

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.

alright.

Everyone please post your John Smith's GTA4 pictures/videos made by you John Smith. Makes the mods feel better. :rolleyes:

Anyone here going to be lining up at midnight for the release? I can see people doing that for a console but I game? I dunno am I the only one who thinks its a bit much.

It is too much, if you wake up at 8,9 am that day and walk to the store they will still have plenty.

although i do understand from some people that are mega fans of the series and cant stand another second without playing it...

So how hard is it to evade the police now?

From what I've seen, 1 star is a case of driving to the end of the street, 2 stars is a bit more difficult, and anything 3 stars and above is impossible. When you have 6 stars, the radius you have to escape from takes up the entire map.

Damn :( Is it stupid AI like most games? So if you get out of a car while the police can't see and switch into another one would they recognise you from the other end of the street? Or if you're hiding around a corner the police will magically know where you are?

If you want to get max stars straight away, steal a helicopter and fly it into part of the map that you shouldn't be on till later in the game. I discovered that by accident

That really isn't a spoiler. It's been like that in all the games I think.

I don't think they will and personally I don't think it matters. Do you want to be the first person out there to get all 50 achievements unlocked? :p

The game should be fun regardless of what other people do. :)

True, still, it would have been cool to know how long it "actually" took someone to get everything in the game since the day of release...

Maybe to you guys who know the games inside out it's not a spoiler but to other "casual" gamers it is

I never even got a chance to fly on any of the other games lol

Well, just think about this for a minute. If you go somewhere you are not supposed to be, what do you expect to happen? Not being a smart ass, that's a serious question.

Well normally on "games" when you go somewhere you're not meant to go, there is a physical restriction in the way.

Such as an invisible wall that is impassible.

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.

      I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
