Skate and Skate 2 are designed to be realistic skateboarding games. You have to actually think about how you would do certain moves in real life to do them in Skate or Skate 2...for the most part. The way the game is set up, especially this time around, there are almost endless possibilities. Believe me, when I first tried out the Skate demo, I hated it. The more I played it though, the more I got used to the controls. Some of the new controls in Skate 2 are sort of bringing back some of control set from the Tony Hawk games in my mind, which is causing me to some times try and ollie by pressing the X button(PS3). Other than that, it's awesome.

Well I never said that there would be one out this year...at least not a sequel for GTAIV (depending on if you consider the downloadable content a sequel). They didn't announce that they started a new game, but I don't see why they'd take such a long break. If they stopped because of the economy...that would be even worse for them financially. Selling games is how they get their income...no games.... no monies. If they do intend on using Tokyo as a location, they'd most likely make their own name for it. As for language, they'd most likely do a mixture. There would be characters that only speak English, possibly the main character, so they'd have to speak English, provided that they'd want the characters that only speak English to hear. As for currency, I'd assume they'd use Japan's, but who knows. This goes back to my old "Radio Theory". In VCS they mentioned "Tokyo, China" instead of "Tokyo, Japan", so they might call it that for some reason...not sure why they would though, unless they want to make fun of stereotypes.

Should this topic be locked?...or doesn't it because it's in the "Fun and Off-topic" section....I mean...I'm having fun with this topic.

I don't think TakeTwo or Rockstar were effected by the whole economic thing...at least not yet. Rockstar usually starts on the new GTA right after they finish one, but I think I remember Rockstar saying that they took a break after GTAIV, but I think they've started on a new one by now. I think they started GTAIV right after SA was released because they announced it, I think, before LCS was released...or possibly before VCS was released.

I don't see why everyone thinks that GTAIV won't have a sequel.

This rumor. Hell, I could say GTA V is going to be in England. Or [insert random country/state] Uh, no, no. The rumor is incorrect...not fake. I don't think a rumor could be fake. A rumor is just something that someone starts up that may or may not be true. Saying that a rumor is fake is pretty much saying that the rumor was never started, but this one was.

Why would Niko be the main character? Rockstar has been switching up the main character every game.

I don't know...she's ok, but I like Olivia Munn and Layla Kayleigh from Attack of the Show a little more.

AWESOME! I'm special!

What's fake?

Can't forget about what X-play said.

lol, why did you change the title of the topic?

I don't even want to take the chance of having to go through all that again. If it were only 15 minutes into the download then I probably would try that. It's almost 2GB.

In regard to the most recent rumor about the next GTA location being set in Tokyo, this is what the administrator of The GTA Place had to say, Short and sweet, but most likely true. Although, a lot of fans have been talking about Tokyo as a location so maybe Rockstar is planning on making that the next location...but fans have also been talking about a lot of other places like London. It is too early to really start guessing, but I still think Vice City will be the next location.

CORRECT! It wasn't IGN. They said it was Game Informer. SOURCE It obviously didn't originate there, because I've even said in the past that it might be in Tokyo, but their rumor could have started because of something more than just speculation. They also said that it will be a late 2009 release...but I find that hard to believe.

So I've been trying to download the Skate 2 demo since about 6:45 and it's now 9:55...AND IT'S ONLY AT 17%!!!1!!1!1!!!

LOL. So his parents let him play the game and they put their keys in a place where they could easily be found. If Jack Thompson were able to sue Rockstar, I bet he'd use this in court. Although, GTA games don't teach you how to steal car keys and insert them into the ignition. This is just a case of shitty parenting.

I was just watching X-Play, not sure how reliable they are, but they said that there is a rumor going around that the next GTA game, not downloadable content, will be set in Tokyo. This rumor, if I heard them right, was started by IGN. When Rockstar was asked about this rumor, they simply said "no comment". Now we all know how these things usually turn out, but what does everyone think about this?

I'm glad you like them.

For some reason when I try to switch my wallpaper with some stuff I made in Photoshop...it turns blue. Then when I went to switch it back to my previous wallpaper, which I also made in Photoshop, it shows up. At first I thought it was the format, I had them as png files, but when I changed them to jpg...it still caused my wallpaper to turn blue. It seems to just be happening to some wallpapers that I made from scratch. I have no idea what's happening. Anyone have any clue? EDIT: I think I actually figured out my problem. It seems that the format was what caused it to turn blue. Instead of actually re-saving the file as a jpg before I just renamed the ".png" part of the file to ".jpg", which aparently doesn't change the format entirely, which furthered the problem. When I went to re-save it, it worked as a wallpaper. I guess this topic could be deleted...Sorry.

LOL, "all knowing". Barely. The sites that Google links to do not know everything if you were to combine them all together. Not only that, but google is only an index. All the info isn't right on Google. Google just knows the sources. Although, if you were trying to find the closest thing to "all knowing" to our knowledge, I guess Google would be it depending on the way you look at it. Personally, I don't think Google is even close. I just find this idea funny. I don't find it all that surprising that someone thought of this while they were "baked". As someone suggested before. All you have to do is disprove one thing. Well there ya go.

...the DS3 has SIXAXIS though. Or you could say the SIXAXIS controller has vibration, but the original controller that came with the PS3 or still comes with the PS3 does not have vibration. EDIT: Wait...wtf...3-D!!! Does anyone know if this is gonna be like the same kind of 3-D as that new horror movie coming out?

"The Giggle Award" I just find it funny that Chris used the word "giggle".

Then your PS3, game or, most likely, your controller is messed up. You bought it seperate from the console...right?

AWESOME!! Thanks guys!
