Excellent video.

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

Grand Theft Auto Five San Andreas – Screenshots

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?

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.

When Will GTA5 Be Announced?

Here, Grand Theft Auto Five Speculations and Rumors

Many people on the internet are expecting to see Rockstar at E3 2010 to announce GTA 5. You have to ask yourself ” when was the last time Rockstar announced a new game at E3?” . If I am not mistaken. The last time they announced a new Grand Theft Auto at  any convention was GTAIII. After that day, Rockstar has not announced the release date until after “leaking” small bits of information about release dates, and then playing out a month or so of riddles and clues with the GTAFORUMs gang.Also it does not fit the format of  Grand Theft Auto game releases. We are on a brand new gaming platform. Rockstar has not used the New platform yet for the other two games that use this engine. Vice city and San Andreas have yet to be released on the new engine.  Rockstar numbers their game releases by engine. Well of course that’s how it has been done since… what 97 or 98? Why change that now ?

Every time Rockstar Games releases the big three games, all three are released on the same engine. Last time this happened, the engine got small tweaks (possibly influenced by the gta modding communities) Making the game smoother and less resource hogging (PC term). This allows them to them make the graphics better and add more game play using less storage and less stress on your gaming gear. It would be unwise to release a new gaming engine to release a new city. Count on the next big Grand Theft Auto to be released, to be Vice City or San Andreas. Also count on a few small variations of these two before you see the next Grand Theft Auto engine.

One of the first GTA rumors sites. That is the longest Grand Theft Auto News and Rumors website. I respect this old schooler because I think he is probably the only guy on the internet who has been playing the game as long as I have, and as consistent. Here is a GTA forum you can join and post your opinions, Hopes, wishes or rants. It’s ok, I know the owner of the site really well. He wont gripe much. That place has kinda turned into just PS3 users.

We can be sure that the next Grand Theft auto we see, will be GTAIV Vice city, or GTAIV San Andres Or a surprise left hook from London. Count on 4 more years.

Happy gaming.

New Grand Theft Auto Game In 2011 (Rumor Mill)



(A New Post on this Topic)
GTAv and GTAVI Figured Out

There are many clues. Rockstar always leaves clues. If you have been playing GTA as long as I have, you would know this. Many of the clues are subtle, many are just flat out “See you in San Andreas” Billboards. Before the actual release date, anything can be a distraction. we all know that ownership of Grand Theft Auto has changed many times. The writers and coders and directors, have all changed, so it is hard to expect them to follow the same pattern, or to be as good or bad as the predecessors at tricking and riddling us with wild clues. This has and hopefully always will be part of the game. For the sake of this writing, let’s expect that no changes will occur in the pattern.

In GTAIV, there are many times that you will hear on the radio, mention of Los Santos, and other locations that are real locations. We can assume that Los Santos will be in the next game. but at one time Rockstar would actually mention real life locations and then make a mock up of that location but name it different. Through out GTAIV there is no mention of Vice city, until the coming of Ballad of Gay Tony. In BOGT there is a Vice City Radio, Radio station.

In past patterns

In the first Grand Theft Auto game, you start out in Liberty City then move to Vice City as you progress in the game. In the end you have to defeat the city of San Andreas. After a few addon games, we came to GTAIII. In GTAIII We are some un-named guy who is left for dead by his female partner in crime when she shot him at point blank with a shotgun, right after a bank robbery. This un-named guy gets arrested and is being transported from one jail to another with two other inmates. In transit between the jails, the “patty wagon” gets stopped guns are drawn, a bridge is blown up. All to aid in the release of one of the prisoners. The un-named guy that is played as your character, and third man with bandages on his hands are left as the only living people at the scene. So they flee and take it as a gift. Luckily hackers get into police records and prevent anyone from that “Little Road Trip” from ever being remembered in the database. So that explains how you are free. You eventually make it through the ranks to take over the gang that the third person on that “patty wagon” runs.  The guy that helps you the whole time who has the bandages on his hands, is named “8-ball”. He is a bomb maker about the same age as you.  That is a strange inconsistency. Due to the time line jumps of the next two games. but still back to gtaiii, as you get to the airport you see signs that say that you can travel to Vice City . But you can not.

Later you make it to Vice city (following the way the first GTA was done), There are no clues of San andreas you just play the roll of some poor dork from Liberty City who was dropped off after getting out of jail,  and forced to  do a drug trade. You get ambushed by a local gang. Now the people who have you kind of blackmailed into the drug trade, don’t have their money, and they don’t have their drugs. You are responsible to get one back to them. You fail at that. But you take over the whole city of Vice city and become the new Gang leader of the whole city. Again you are in a city that has an 8-ball’s bomb shop in it. Strange thing is the game is set almost 15 year prior to GTAIII in liberty city. This would have made 8ball quite a well organized shop owner, for someone who just got out of jail in gtaiii. I can only assume he blew his hands up prior to gtaiii and that is how he got busted.

Some more clues to San Andreas being next One thing that guy misses. His posterboard he posted. in the middle it says “Liberty City is over, on the top it shows GTAIV album Art in the bottom right, we see what is likely part of the album art for the next grand theft aut. Looks like trees, edge of a mountain and some sky. Much like San Andreas. To further match what he shows in his page.    .

Grand Theft Auto San Andreas in 2011

What we can be certain of

Grand Theft Auto 5 will not be out for atleast three more years. They will do the same with GTAiv as they did with GTA and GTAiii, Liberty City – Vice City – Sand Andreas will all be under the same number title. Each Chapter will have it’s own extra episode(s). Count on GTAV being the grounds for a whole new batch, Such as london and so on, or a visit to a whole new city, as they did with GTAII

Windows 7 At home, good, bad, it’s ugly

Ok for starts,

I did do a big full test of windows seven at work on a machine and threw everything at it that makes vista and xp crash. the version we used for that test is windows 7 32 bit, here is  Windows & in Workplace Environment.

I have to say that anyone who preaches on about 7 being better than windows Vista, You really did not even try both with an open mind. I like vista, Seven is not impressing me at all. All the stuff about vista I heard everyone complain about but never noticed myself, I am seeing it in Windows 7. I think by now it’s just common enough to blame everything on George Bush and Windows vista, it’s the first two things out someone’s mouth. But ok here is what I get in the trial at home on  windows 7 64bit.

Well I am on day two of windows 7. The default drivers it installed, amazed me, almost as much as windows vista did. Video card drivers, not so much. I am forced to use almost one year old nvidia drivers. Fine.
For the record, my machine is a mid way between work horse and light gaming machine, nothing to brag about in either direction.
Specs are
AMD 5600+ 2.9g dc
3 gigs pc6400 800mhz
Nvidia / evga 9500 gt 512 mb
some ecs motherboard
air cooled.

Well the video drivers have been iffy on me and would not let me use the manufacturers drivers. This has always been my special sweet spot, using EVGA drivers instead of nvidia drivers has always givin me a cooled advantage. but no, win 7 rc is forcing me to use the ones they have from the update service at Microsoft, if I install anything else I look at 8 bit graphics at best.

Well I tend to do my benchmarking at pc pitstop.com (full test) . to say the least, my scores drop dramatically over my vista scores. I usually use the old test , it’s hard to find but it’s there it’s a link in the description kinda hidden there. my scores have been i the 3000’s for about a year now. With windows seven they dropped to 1500. strangely it shows my 2d fps increased by nearly 100 fps. Well that’s cool…..
So I turn to my faithful typical benchmarking methods of real testing. :-)
I crack open every version of Grand Theft Auto and install them all.
On gtaiii I get the same hesitation I used to get about 6 years ago. While passing under bridges and through tree covered areas there is a lag that comes in spurts. with vice city, the yellow almost takes over the screen and the cut scenes are jittery just like it was the day the game came out and I was on out dated hardware. San Andreas, well not much better.
GTAIV For me to achieve the 23 FPS at best in game I had to turn everything off or all the way down. When I was on Vista I was seeing 35+ FPS with some things turned to medium. Yes I know my video card is not the best in the world, but it was the same one I was using on windows Vista and it makes a great “before and after” comparison.

Now for the lock out issues everyone complains about with windows Vista.
I head to MVPS Hosts site to update my hosts file to block bad sites and advertisements. Nothing fricken happened. Wouldn’t block anything, So I head to the ETC folder to modify the file by hand. HA! No administrator rights to modify that file. Meanwhile in the background I am playing myspace mobsters. I refresh a page and bam new advertisement, all my browsers drop and fricken notice comes up telling me my computer might be compromised, and it offers this virus scan. then it scans my computer anyway and says I have a virus then tells me to update. I freak out and try and close the page and notice, it’s not windows explorer, it’s Mozilla. it’s a fricken spam scam. See if I could have changed my hosts file, that never would have happened. so I head to bit defender to scan my disk onlline. would not allow me!!!!!! WTF!!!!!
So I head to emsi and get a-squared and do a scan, sure enough… I am infected with 4 types of Trojans. I am upset now.

The hardest thing for me to find, I still have not found it yet, is how in the blue hell do you turn it so that you can see your file extensions? Have they disabled so much user ability that they have turned that off? I feel as if I am being dumbed down and pacified with big shiny buttons.
You can like windows seven all you want, but I really have this whole thing figured out.
Either it’s going to turn out to be Mojave, or windows ME 2.0

still the same issue with Windows Seven that bothered me most with Windows Vista , No Ftp. You have to download Fire FTP for firefox and use that . You no longer have direct access with windows Explorer.  I find this unacceptable. It really feels like we are being dumbed down.

After some help, someone linked me to how to use notepad as administrator to modify files such as the hosts file

GTAIV Vice City Or San Andreas Next?

Clearly it will be Vice City. San Andreas is the final city each time and Liberty City is where you start.
On GTAIII Vice city is what happened after the Game coders smoothed out the code and repacked it to take less space, allowing them to pack more crap in one game.
GTAIII Took a hearty machine back in the day, as GTAIV take a Hearty Machine these days. Vice city took a slightly stronger computer on III, yet played twice as smooth. Vice city will play smoother again. If computer gamers are allowed a chance to ride the GTAIV tail to the end, then GTA PC Fans will be in for a re-occurring blast.
Will we see a yellow washed city again? I was not bothered by that in III , It gave the feel of a sunny city. Especially after Rainy Liberty City. More Boats, less garbage, more old people and malls. The only things I anticipate. I am ready for the announcement .
What I hope for, is a glimpse at an old burned out Tommy Vercetti, in a retirement home, along with the un named Guy from GTAIII, And Carl Johnson from San Andreas living up on the beach, with no role in the game other than showing he is still alive.

There was an interview with the creators of Grand Theft Auto, and they said that we will not see any persons returning in GTAIV Because they are all dead. Vice city in GTIII was a step back in time, and so was San Andreas, what will happen in that case? will they close the books for good and show us how they all die?
Buy the next game, Buy the pc version to get the real deal, and we will know what’s up.

Have Fun Good Luck

Wanna Play GTA Linux?

Here is something I put together for you guys,
and well for myself to look back on, about tree years ago.
Here is the actual location of what you see here

First let’s make sure you do have either a
dual boot machine, or and hard drive with
your install of each game , on it.

I of course am doing this from my windows
partition, but do not doubt using usb type
portable thumbs,which is kinda cool.

I will work this week with grand theft
auto vice city .
Ok, Let’s go get some Wine .
you are going to need it.

Screen shot of install of wine This is
scrolling by like about 90 letters a second

FleX

Next you might need what I needed Flex ,
I use RPM Bone because I am not going
to spend a day trying to learn how to
build a package when I can
just do a search. Well whatever. If you
get a notice that you need to install
anything, the bone will help you, just
select the right distro and you are
good to get.. another File i needed
was BISON.. two seconds three tries
the rpm went well.

Console Usage

Open a console window and type:

apt-get install bison flex libncurses5-dev

Now when you begin the wine install
with this command ” ./tools/wineinstall ”
go get a soda or beer or what ever,
you might wanna grab a
couple, this sucker takes a while, but
look up from time to time it asks a yes
or no and asks you to type in admin pass.

No Cd

* You now need the no cd
crack, I can not legally
* point you to it but be sure to get the
* one that is 15 mb or so, and scan it
* HERE
Navigation

When you navigate to the
*

location, which for me is

*

/disks/C/Program Files/

*

Rockstar Games/Grand Theft

*

Auto Vice City where I have

*

the game

*

installed, the command

*

is “wine gta-vc.exe”or “gta_sa.exe” (which ever game you are working on) and

*

your screen will go all

*

win 95 looking in the

*

crummy resolution sense.

*

It will take a few
minutes, you might

*

want to hit the enter

*

button to get it to start,

*

it’s a tad freaky.

*

*

When game starts, look at

*

the cars and think about vice

*

city stories and liberty city

*

stories and how amazed you where

*

about the glossy cars…

Do you now see how cheap it was

*

when they did it? Screen Shot LOL..

*

cool ehh ?

Will update later when I get done

*

transferring the audio files from

*

cd to install directory.. not all

*

audio is working for me just yet.

* Ok you might get an error like this one

err:wave:DSDB_MapBuffer Please run winecfg, open “Audio” page and set

“Hardware Acceleration” to “Emulation”.

which tells you that you are not getting car motor sounds and peds sounds… well.

If you do that you will get those sounds back.. but at a cost… no radio and when you exit game.. dear god it’s a loud noise

Rockstar Will Not Fix GTA FREEZE

From here:

Earlier today we broke the news that some Grand Theft Auto IV gamers were having problems with the game on both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

“For them, the game was freezing up during the introductory cut-scene, something that neither I nor Mike experienced during our time with the game on both systems. To be clear, we have no idea how widespread the problem is, but it’s certainly on Rockstar’s radar and making the rounds both in our tips line and on forums.

“Rockstar declined to comment on the issue officially, so I went to the phone and called up Rockstar Support to see what they had to say about the problem.”

I am certain that Rockstar games will fix this issue. Not to bash the gaming site that seems to have “broken the news.”

But really. This is taking words out of text.

On a wiki I Found, I see nicely done wiki (almost done).

Grand Theft Wiki

If you find a Banshee, Email the guy from this wiki and get him to put it on the page, tell him where you found it.

Same with the phoenix and other cars.

Heck if you see similar peds screen shot them and email the maker of the wiki.
