Fuck off! Is that legit?

Ooh forgot to mention yesterday, but if you go to the official Rockstar site, in the GTAV section they have previews for half a dozen or so radio stations. You can see the other stations greyed-out as well, I think there's 17 in total.

Fuck off! Is that legit?

 

There's no reason it wouldn't be. It's definitely conceivable that a bunch of comedy-minded scriptwriters in Scotland (or wherever) have watched Father Ted.

Fuck off! Is that legit?

 

If it's not, somebody's put together a seven minute fake video.

 

There's a review of two missions here. The extract below was enough to spur me to finally get round to re-ordering:

With Trevor onboard, it’s harder for Franklin to cavil, and so I amble into the back of Trevor’s van, along with Lamar and his faithful Rottweiler, Chop. It doesn’t take long to reach the heart of the hood – Franklin clearly hasn’t moved that far away. It’s a familiar cul-de-sac, intimidatingly fringed by rundown houses and shifty huddles of gang members – it’s Grove Street, the home of San Andreas’s protagonist, CJ. And the gang we’re negotiating with for a kilo of coke? The Ballas.

 

We jump out of the van and follow Lamar up to one of the houses. I can feel a thousand eyes watching my every movement. I don’t feel safe. The door opens suspiciously, and we’re presented with a white block wrapped in plastic. It’s cut open with a flick knife, and we’re allowed to sample the goods. Lamar takes a taste, and is eager to hand over a chunky wad of cash, but Trevor is tetchy. He asks if we can take a sample from the other side of the brick. The dealer refuses and starts to play hardball – do we want to make a deal or not? Trevor snatches the block out of the guy’s hands, and snaps it in half. It’s fake: a gram of blow hidden in a fake brick. We’re screwed.

 

The throbbing score violently ratchets up, as all hell breaks loose. Disorientated, I stumble into the nearest cover – a low garden wall. I feel genuinely unsafe, surrounded by seriously pissed off gangsters. Trapped at the bottom of Grove Street, we’re as good as dead. We all know it.

 

Our only chance is to pull together and fight our way up the street. I scramble from cover to cover, hiding behind parked cars, as bullets fly above my head. I can see Chop running around, barking, drawing fire, even biting. I’m pinned down behind the van, so I switch to Trevor, wondering if the ability to change characters gets you out of jail should you find yourself running low on health, but he was taking just as much heat.

 

The cops soon arrive on the scene to subdue the urban uprising. This is the distraction we’ve been waiting for. I hear Lamar shout from across the street – he’s found a way out. I follow him down a narrow alley that separates two of the slovenly houses, and instantly the thick claustrophobia of the Grove Street shootout dissipates. The world opens up again. The houses back onto the Los Santos storm drain – a vast man-made river carved out of concrete. We run down towards the water. Bizarrely there are a group of girls in colourful bikinis dancing for a film crew in front of three jet skis. Is this a TV advertisement? A music video? Porn? I have no time to find out – there’s a police helicopter humming overhead. I push one of the girls out of the way and steal her jet ski. Trevor, Lamar, and I head for open waters – I guess Chop ran home – but we can’t escape. The helicopter’s still on our tail.

 

After skimming across the open water for a few minutes, putting distance between us and Grove Street cops, we land on a nearby coast. Trevor’s disappeared (I suspect he might do this a lot), and Lamar’s plain out of ideas. It’s up to me to get us out of his mess. The mess he drew me into. As the sun sets, I lead us up a steep path from the beach to the cliff top above. I have my machine gun raised at all times, picking off the cops that greet us.

 

We eventually reach the roadside and jump into one of the now vacant cop cars. We’re still being pursued, but I sense I can get away. I head off into the dark, down the web of dusty roads that lie far outside of the city. I break line of sight with my pursuers, and my wanted level drops. We’re clear, but finishing the mission as Franklin, I feel angry. I'm annoyed with Lamar, who's sat in the car next to me. I don't want him to be there. As fun as it was to play, I never wanted to get involved in any of this. It was all his fault. I didn’t want to go back to Grove Street. I get out and walk away into the night.

I'm going to my first ever midnight launch for this. I'm going to be fucked for work the next day, seriously.

[King Pitcos]

Has anyone pre-ordered anything from the Gamestop site before? Just wondering if they're likely to get it to me on release date/early. I've not pre-ordered a game since Littlebigplanet 2 from Play, and they were about a week late with it.

 

I think the

Think Rockstar have kicked up a big fuss about how they don't want anyone having it before release day.

[Steve Justice]

I'm going to condition myself to get used to 4 hours sleep just so I can play it till 3 in the morning on midnight release.

 

We have a new HD projector at work, and the boss is away next week. I'm taking it to work to play at lunch too. The screen is like 100 inches.

 

I have also warned my wife that I will not be available for anything for at least a week.

 

I am also anticipating severe headaches.

 

I'm super excited.

What does that mean logistically though? Retailers are waiting until next Monday to post them out? I'll be sat here crying while everyone else is playing it.

[Maverick]

Aye think they have to stay in the warehouse until then heres a source http://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2013/09/rockstar-...goes-out-early/

And that is why I booked two days off work

[TUFCfan]

I suspect several retailers will "accidently" dispatch their copies on Saturday as planned anyway. Shopto had a fall out with Activision recently about the same sort of thing so can't see them not sending it out two days earlier for this.

[Callum1993]

I know GTA V is on a different scale but with other games whenever i've ordered from Shopto they always arrive a day before release. Just paid off my pre-order with Shopto so hopefully i'll get it on release at the latest
