Why would they do that for? I don't want to see the details of the map, it spoils the fun of exploring the place if you ask me. It's best to let the people see it once they buy the game. I believe there were some maps that were leaked, but they got removed due to requests from Rockstar Games.

It really depends if you ask me. First off, adding alot of grunge to a signature does make it look overdone, but sometimes, that's the point of the sig, whether it has to have this type of texture. Secondly, adding grunge effects make the sig look dirtier and more realistic (If you're a texture artist making a dirty wall texture, you need quite a lot, if not a little grunge), and it also gives out a different sides to signatures/avatars. Thirdly, having a plain and simple sig doesn't give much appeal, so textures like Abstract, Grunge, Vector and many others would give it more appeal. It's like we don't care for detail... But when it comes to making a signature, you NEED detail in order to get members to look at your work, or it would just bore the living hell' out of people. If not many details have been given, your signature wouldn't show it's stuff. I believe overdoing the grunge effect is okay, but it really depends on the point of signature/avatar. If you want more grunge to show on your sig, then you would have to, if you don't want that much, then you don't need to add much at all like crazy. I for one use the grunge effect (As most of you know), and it really shows personality, if not, the "Life" of the signature. And when it comes to making it, I try to make it different, so I change the opacity (Transparent to Thick) and make the grunge different. So really, even if you overdo a specific type of effect, it still looks good as long as you know where you placing it, and how you edit it when you feel it needs editing.

I watched this on TV a while ago. It's pretty unfortunate as it's a mysterious condition which means he might be the first to have this condition. If I remember so, they wanted to collect samples of those stuff on his chest. They cut it out, and the bleeding was severe meaning it only took about 30 minutes to stop. Poor guy, indeed.

Hey Cat Licker, don't act like a twat again and I'm sure you'll be a bit better than before. Anyways, welcome back!

Don, it looks all stretched up. Maybe you should fix it up and then place it, because it looks good. Also: Unfortunately, no avatar. I have to be honest, I overdid some shit on this signature, such as the vector designs, but I think it's a nice and dirty sig.

Okay, first off, lower on the caps. Secondly, I can't wait either, but I got an interview on that day, plus I got no next gen consoles (Which completely makes me look retarded). But I'll get it eventually. But yeah, there's only a few days left, so be patient.

Well, to me, TheGTAPlace has been like my first website I joined, and is sort of like a home to me, although I don't really live on the net, it's a nice place to visit, and it also is where I became Moderator. This place is also a place where I get information from on GTA IV and many other things.

There is no way to fix it, you have to be patient and wait.

I swear I saw that the hud had a gradient of light green & blue. Here it is: It probably changes if you change weapon... I'm not sure. I must be getting old...

How can you all say that MGS is crap? Have you ever played it before? If not, get a copy of the first, second and third game and see how good it is, you'll be surprised... I think GTA IV will get on their, definitely. Seeing all these gaming magazine article, it seems GTA IV is going big at the moment.

i know. read my first post!!! anyway im just imagining what it'd be like if San Andreas was even better! and hopefully somone can make a stable mod of this... Keep dreaming on buddy... Keep dreaming on...

Nice and clear, it fits perfectly to GTA IV if you ask me. There's more space to see the full screen rather than seeing the icons.

Why do you all have problems with that for? GTA IV doesn't need to have what Half-Life 2 has with that Low Poly interior. This game has massively improved from what it was back a long time ago and you shouldn't worry about what you see in just one image. The textures on that image seem to be fine and it really shouldn't cause any problems to the player anyways. Probably in the future, when GTA gaming goes advanced, it will probably have no Shop Textures, but a actual shop which you can enter. And those collisions, those might not be in the game anymore, possibly you might get hurt if you punch, or it would be disabled when you stand around the wall? I don't know. But to be honest, why worry about that? It's not like the end of the world, is it? I can agree with you there, especially with the textures and collisions, but it doesn't matter as long as the most important thing is in the game, and that's gameplay. And like I said before, they might eventually fix those problems in the near future...

Okay, well I've had a crap week, especially when returning to school. Firstly, my Maths teacher yelled at me and some of my friends for not revising over the holidays. Of course, I've been really busy, especially with my Art Exam. My teacher didn't give a toss about the exam and said "Maths is more important than Art". So I really didn't listen to him and I've still not finished my revision. But I'll get around it eventually after these exams are over. I also had my French Speaking Exam quite a while back. All went well and I got a good grade, especially at foundation level - It was a grade C. I was proud of it. Then, my friend took it at a higher level and got a grade D. It wasn't surprising as lot of people that were doing higher didn't get an A*, A or B. Only a few did. As well as that, my Art Exam was just yesterday. I have over 10 hours to make a final piece and complete it. I've already done 5 hours, and I've pretty much finished drawing it and I had only the afternoon to colour it all in, but only could colour in quarter of it. All of this has been making my social life + Free time rubbish, I haven't spent any time with my friends, and neither have I had free time to all of the things I want. The worst is yet to come, unfortunately. And then probably after that, the prom starts, so I better get something nice to wear!

It's not warez, it's just basically hard. If I was you GTA_SA, I would just mod the PC version. That problem of yours, have you tried reinstalling it? If not, try that, it could work. If not, reinstall SAMI and try again.

Why don't you try a more longer wheelie? I can do better than that, but I could be shit since I haven't played San Andreas in about 2 years.

Hey and welcome to TGTAP. Please make sure to post in the Introduce Yourself topic and enjoy your stay!

Use the topic linked on top next time round to post your introduction. Anyways, welcome to TGTAP.

At least now we know that the Multiplayer's been tested, which means we can play it without worrying about those lags. Also, that's awesome that you can turn off player markers on the radar, that will possibly be the best part of the game for me as I do like stealth games.

If you use IE6... God help you... IE6 is complete bull crap. That's usually the only browser that fails when I'm using it. IE7 is okay, I have no problems with that, but IE6 craps on me whenever I'm going on sites that have transparent images, it never is actually transparent, it's just an image without the transparency. .PNG Images take longer to load as well.

A chat room? Wow dude, before you say anything else, aren't you currently using a Online Chat-Based site? Or in other words, the forums? It would be a complete waste if you ask me, since we have a forum. And TGTAP is already the "BEST".

T2 did say they rejected EA's offer, but EA are still trying to get T2, but T2 themselves will keep rejecting their offer if this continues to go on. Once the game's officially released which should be in a few weeks, then we will have our hands on a game which Rockstar Games and T2 produced, not with EA included. If time goes fast, then it all should go well, and the launch for GTA IV can be successful.

3/5.
