Need For Speed World is Briliant

Posted onAuthorTruXter3 Comments

Need For Speed world is just brilliant.
EA the makers of Need For Speed games, have put together probably the biggest gaming idea, EVER!.A totally free version of NFS. On a cable connection, you download and install NFS world in under 10 minutes. You play just as you did in the previous games (the epic ones, not the lame ones) you do races to level up and you make points, As you level up, things begin to unlock for you. Good things. and your car gets faster as you buy (with the money you earned while playing) the things that have recently unlocked for you. “But how does the EA team make money?” You ask. You can purchase super duper awesome stuff, if you buy Credits, or “Boosts”. You can only buy certain things at certain levels. So you don’t have a bunch of weirdos in the game doing unbelievable stuff while still being a level on. So they balance it pretty well. Downside is.. I think you can only buy one car with earned points (not referring to purchased boosts) and that’s when you first create your account.If you can buy more, please tell me how.
Something weird I could do without. The menu area as you bring your mouse over stuff, there is a spark thing they do. Looks cool, but really does make it look like my video card is about to give up on me.

First thing I did when I realized they were actually using previous cities. Was drive around looking for the hide outs.
The game is flawless. I left everything at default settings, except I did turn the music down. A bit loud at start.
With the video at default settings, the game has no lag no hesitation no hiccups. But it really feels like you are playing the first Need for speed.

At first when I adjusted the video settings to the maximum I could , I didn’t see any issues. I drove for about an hour. Did one race and drove around town seeing what my top end looks like with all of the shadows and reflections I now see.

While driving around, I found locations that looked the same but different, as if ten or so years have gone by and the place has changed. Updated and upgraded.

Now I search to see if I can find someone explaining “servererror_fatal_errorcode_7”.

Game play 10/10
graphics 9/10
fun 10/10
cost FREE

Need for speed World, is a must download. It’s everything that the Facebook games are, plus an actual game to play.

Need for Speed World can be downloaded from the Need for Speed servers HERE And finally free. a game that pays for it’s self.

GTA V On Xbox 360 PS3 and PC

Posted onAuthorTruXterLeave a comment

(This post was written in 2011, so Rockstar has made a couple changes)
Go to GTA5.com
you will be redirected to
http://astore.amazon.co.uk/jjteknetwork-21
Is where you find GTA5 on pc, 360 and ps3.
(That link is what the GTA5.com link redirects you to.)
The domain name gta5.com is registered to rockstar games The domain name has been registered for ten years.
As seen here you can see that GTA5.COM is registered to Rockstar games

This says that Grand Theft Auto five v has a chance of being produced for the pc. We all pretty much already know that gta v will come out for the xbox 360 and the PS3. Without a doubt. We can also assume that we will not be seeing gta v on the Nintendo Wii or the Wii U.

So.. The question is kind of answered. Will GTA V come out for the pc? I want want GTA v on the pc. You be the judge by just looking at the facts.

GTA V Audio Analysis

Posted onAuthorComputer Tweaker2 Comments

Working on Analysis of the Audio track of GTAV

Here is the Audio Track
Used 7Zip to compress. Should open fine with Winrar

For those of you on the GTA Forums website and all of the others
who are just wanting to know what sounds they can hear in the gta v
trailer and see what they can detect as locations or hidden gems
in the next coming grand theft auto. I stripped the audio best I
could with what little software I have.

at 8 seconds in, I hear a dog bark in the left channel.

at about 22 seconds you hear seagulls in all channels. at about 23 seconds on the right channel, you hear what sounds like an injured dog. almost a yalp, but more like a whimper. This could mean there is more than one audio recording of a dog included in GTA V. Meaning that a dog could play some sort of role in GTAV. What this role might be, I can not imagine.
If anyone can filter the audio for this track a bit better and break off the next bit of 18 seconds audio, please leave a link here and on the gtaforums site for everyone else to find, so they too can listen and see what they can find hidden for the game in the sound bit. I will gladly download and serve up as an alternative server.

One thing for sure, this video game, will not harm, kill or hurt near as many animals as PETA kills in a month. In fact, I can say that this game it’s self will not harm a single animal.

Comparison Video San Andreas vs GTA V

Posted onAuthorTruXter

In this Comparison Video San Andreas vs GTA V, the guy who put this video together, did lots of work and must have gone through plenty of edits, and mods or something to get this video just right.
You will see that he compares buildings, locations, scenes, signs and textures.
Excellent video.

So, compare for yourself. What do you think? big changes? not enough?

Grand Theft Auto Five San Andreas – Screenshots

Posted onAuthorTruXter3 Comments

San AndreasPlates

)Here are some videos of GTA V Photoshopped. All for fun)

Why did I move here? I guess it was the weather,
Or the, I don’t know that thing, that magic,
You see it in the movies,
I wanted to retire from what I was doing,
You know, from that, that line of work,
Be a good guy for once, a family man,
So, I bought a big house, came here, put my feet up,
Thought I’d be a dad like all the other dad’s,
My kids, will be like the kids on TV, we play ball and sit in the sun,
But, well, you know how it is.

Reminds me of This


Grand Theft Auto Five Is In San Andreas
Sure sounds like the voice of Tommy Vercetti.
Says he wants a place to chill and not be such a bad guy (not a direct quote just my take) so it would fit.
The game engine for GTA V is clearly a tweaked GTAIV engine
You can see the textures are about the same but a bit better handled. This is good. Not as much bloat … maybe?
Will there be a Las Venturas in this installment of Grand Theft Auto? or do we have to wait for an expansion pack?
Watch the video
Here
For Android and Other Phones
here here’s a gift
http://videos.rockstargames.com/streams/V-en_us-trailer1-wmv-1280.wmv

So… What in the heck did the V stand for ?

Now the proper question is …. What platforms?
PC IS the one I want to know about.

IGN has Confirmed that Ray Liotta is not doing the voice of Tommy Vercetti. Does not mean that Tommy is not going to be in GTAV but it also does not rule out Claude. As he says in the video, he came her for the weather… and it was always rainy in GTAIII. SO heading to San Andreas to retire, would be a move.

but I thought everyone retired to Florida, unless already in Florida.

What Gaming Platforms Will See GTA V

Posted onAuthorTruXter4 Comments

We have all seen that gaming consoles have gotten pretty powerful, and we all know that Rockstar games can take an old engine and make it better, run faster, smoother and have less glitches . We saw this with GTAIII and Grand Theft Auto Vice City, and then again with San Andreas when Rockstar started putting the wanted items into the game. Like swimming, ability to climb walls and ride a bicycle. So do the guys at Rockstar games have a big one up their sleeve? are they about to give the largest multiplatform launch simultaneously? What gaming Platform do you think they will launch on?
[poll id=”13″]
What Gaming platform do you think will see Grand Theft Auto Five
Xbox 360
PlayStation3
Nintendo Wii (wii U)
Windows Computer (PC)
Apple/Mac
hand held only
Are the options. For clear obvious reasons.
Here is a link from Walmart showing that currently there is only Xbox360 and Playstation 3 versions of GTA V ready to sell for June on release.
There are rumors that GTAV is coming out for Mac computers and some people are actually hoping that the release date will be near the release of the Nintendo Wii u. Some say that the regular Wii might be able to handle grand theft auto 5 if the game is optimized properly. There are a few people saying that GTA v stands a chance of being made just for hand held gaming systems. To me that is just nuts but i may as well leave it as an option. Others say it will be across all platforms and some some say just for the high end gaming consoles like the ps3 and the 360.
I am glad that none of this is confirmed right now because last Grand Theft Auto (that would be gtaiv)release nearly stressed me out. I am a pc gamer, so not seeing the game until about a year after initial release, was not cool at all. That’s even after the initial release was held back for almost a year already.
So please do not freak out and post hatred because I listed some strange ones. It’s just stuff I have been seeing on the internet. and they have a small chance of being correct. Nothing is confirmed yet so let’s speculate :-)

But feel free to explain your answer, and reason and logic behind your answer.

Battle net WoW Account Scam Email

Posted onAuthorTips Of Tech3 Comments

I keep getting these emails all of the time. Funny thing is, the scams keep going to my email address that I really did register my battle.net account up for. Why is blizzard or battle.net passing out my email address like this ?

 

 

Greetings,

An investigation of your World of Warcraft account has found strong evidence that the account in question is being sold or traded. As you may not be aware of, this conflicts with Blizzard\’s EULA under section 4 Paragraph B which can be found here: WoW -> Legal -> End User License Agreement and Section 8 of the Terms of Use found here:
WoW -> Legal -> Terms of Use

The investigation will be continued by Blizzard administration to determine the action to be taken against your account. If your account is found violating the EULA and Terms of Use, your account can, and will be suspended/closed/or terminated.
In order to keep this from occurring, you should immediately verify that you are the original owner of the account.

Click on the link below to verify your Battle.net account e-mail address:

Account security is solely the responsibility of the account holder. Please be advised that in the event of a compromised account, Blizzard representatives will typically lock the account. In these cases the Account Administration team will require faxed receipt of ID materials before releasing the account for play.

The battle.net link above is real, but it was masked over the real link which was
“http://us.battle.net.zh-tay.in/login.html?app=wam&ref=https://www.worldofwarcraft.com/account/&eor=0&app=bam”
Now. If you look at that link in a glance, it could fool anyone. But if you are not one to be fooled or have ever heard of a phishing scam, you know this is a cheap trick. and it probably works, often.

Since I keep getting these scam email trying to get me to give up my battle net account name and password. I am going to quit reporting them to Blizzard and battle.net hoping they are handling and wondering why it keeps happening. I will leave these scam emails out here for you people to raise enough fuss to get battle.net to actually pursue legal action on people committing theft. Maybe they are shutting down the scam sites. Maybe… but they clearly are not catching the people involved. So. for every email I get, I will make a new post.
You don’t want to protect my content better with legal action? then I don’t want to protect you by doing my part the way you say.
GET BENT!

Clues To Grand Theft Auto Five gta v

Posted onAuthorTruXter2 Comments

Clues To Grand Theft Auto Five gta v Release date not determined but Official Announcement has happened.
Official announcement was in a tweet. Will this mean there will be something similar in GTA V? or will they just connect twitter into the come? Or nothing like that at all ? Most game messages are short anyhow.
Let’s see what we can see in the clues we have been given about Grand Theft Auto FIVE (miss named GTAV)
We see that the logo represents a Five dollar bill from 1907 era.

[Some of the clues I have found are better read if you click the images. They each Lead a hint of what I think is going to happen.Though I don’t want this to be about me. So if you have a clue, or an idea or a rumor, or a top secret bit of news, post below. There are lots of people seeing this, so help out!.]
We have an explanation of the speculation
GTA Forums
The article is called Genesis. We know the Genesis as being the beginning.
The First Grand theft auto ? done in the same fashion as past GTA games. Jumping Timelines

Here is the profile for the guy leaving all of the GTA clues over the years. Some of it is very long stories that had clues to what was going to be found in GTAIV and could lead to clues to what is in GTAIV. So read it carefully and wisely. Rockstar games has been using that name on the GTAforums site for years. YEARS! but click in scroll down in his profile and click on “Find all posts by this member” It’s just below his name. I would link it. I did link it actually, but GTAFORUMS doesn’t seem to allow that. So you have to do two whole clicks by yourself.

Now the money part of the logo, being similar to an early 1900’s five dollar bill could just be Rockstar looking for a cool logo, or it could mean the city is money based, or started in in the 1900s.VEGAS AKA Las Venturas here is the reference on the Vegas website as of the timeline of Las Vegas.
One person on the GTA Forums noted that the V looked like an upside down Spade from a deck of cards.
This does not mean the game could be in the early 1900s. but the city the game is going to be in, could have had some big change in the early 1900s. Or something, maybe the city to first use the $5 bill? There is a clue in there somewhere. Always. That’s Rockstar’s thing. Clues. Part of the fun of Grand Theft Auto :-)

Miami aka Vice City has growth in the early 1900s. here is the wiki for Miami

During the early 1920s, the authorities of Miami allowed gambling and were very lax in regulating Prohibition, so thousands of people migrated from the northern United States to the Miami region.

We do know for a fact that the name of the game is Grand Theft Auto FIVE V. Not GTA V. The v has some other meaning. Abbreviation of some sort.
Will there be a PC version this time? Will Rockstar games exclude Microsoft games for windows from Grand Theft Auto five, if they release a pc version? Will the game be primarily Steam this time?
Hopefully they finally get it right and release the pc version of GTA V simultaneously with the console releases.

Have you any speculations rumors or clues or knowledge of gta v ? post below, always open.

***update****
The people at GTAFORUMS have posted a locked message saying what they believe are the facts.
I would believe they are closer to the facts if it wasn’t for the obvious denial because they bought a roman numeral link and the name of the game is the word five spelled out fully. and the link they send for the Take Two interview, is about some Woman and not Take two related at all. Not very informative other than what they state as known fact is plain and easy to see at all time.. Except why they insist on calling it GTA V.
***update oct.30.11***
Who is Anaheim Angels? where are they located? and the Oakland A’s ? There is suspicion that the V with the ribbon in it represents a letter A, upside down.

What platform do you see GTA FIVE coming to?

A supposed Leaked Ped or Character image From GTAV, I would have loved to discuss this a bit more with the person who posted it to chase down details of validity to the image.
There is a hint of Tommy vercetti to that guy. and a simplistic model that says they are fine tuning an engine that had to much work. Look at the necklace in existence in the model. This means it is drawn as part of the body instead of swinging all around and having function. To some that is a bad thing, but to me means the game engine has less weight on it and doesn’t bother with the useless details.
