Rockstar Interview with Lead Misson Game Designer of GTAV

For those of you that want some more information about the upcoming game, Grand Theft Auto 5. Lots of good information and to me, it was quite entertaining.

Desktop Wallpaper - It's Good for Your Soul

It's true. It is actually good for your soul to change up your PC's desktop wallpaper from time to time. Scientifically proven and what not.  I post new ones every week or so.

Grand Theft Auto - The King of the Sandbox

I don't even know what to say right now. In fact, before I even do anything else, check out the new game play trailer that Rockstar games released this morning of their upcoming installment, Grand Theft Auto 5. Then check out my thoughts below.

Also, while you are there, go ahead and subscribe to YouTuber, TmarTn. You will not be disappointed.

Ok, now WATCH!!

Trailer Review

Ok, now that you are all moist and feeling hot and bother...I'll continue. First of all, wow. Very impressive. I was expecting it to be good, but damn son!

I love the three main characters. The GTA series has always focused on one particular character and his journey through the story line. The main character always has a very interesting, full, and diverse background story. So when the developers were thinking about what type of person they want to center this game around...why the fuck limit yourself to one character?!?

Sure it is a ton more work, but they got the time...and more importantly, the money.

LOVE. IT.

One of the things that is most interesting to me is the switching between characters during a mission. As you saw in the video, one guy was flying a chopper, one was sniper support, and one was holding a guy hostage. I for one am very intrigued in how the developers are going to allow the player to switch between the characters. My guess would be that the game would force you to a certain character's perspective / role, but who knows at this point. The way I viewed the scene in the trailer was that you can switch on the fly and if that is the case, this game is going to have some of the most insane replay value in recent memory.

The massiveness! Fuck'n A breh!

The GTA series has always been the king of the sandbox genre. As someone that grew up playing all of the Rockstar GTA games, they will always be held as the pillars that hold up the entire category in my mind. I remember spending thousands of hours doing stupid crap like looking for a certain type of car to steal and bring back to the docks. How about delivering pizzas for hours on a moped? Yup, I've done it. Why you ask? No fucking clue. However, the amount of freedom and thought that goes into making every single GTA game is outstanding.

GTA 5 seems to continue this pattern with the crazy massiveness of the game play area. Seeing all of it and knowing all of the things you can do and experience leaves me kinda speechless. I just hope they can pull it off with all of these things going on at the same time. I REALLY hope we don't have any technical issues that cut into or downgrade the game play.

Yes, I am talking to you Bethesda. Skyrim PS3 users know what I'm talking about.

Shoot them up

GTA is, at its heart, an open world game about violence, guns, and cars. Smoothness of how these mechanics work is very important. Some will say it is by far the most important aspect of the game and I tend to agree. Looking at the video from the 4:05 to 4:16 mark, it is very obvious that the game designers had this in mind.

That 11 second clip is what got me the most excited about the game hands down. It looks so smooth and fun. If it plays as well as it looks, I can see my life getting engulfed very easily.

Missions - How they work!?!

The video spends a full minute of going over the freedom and the customization of performing missions in the game. See the 4:30 to 5:30 mark. I hate to sound like a fan boy and just praising the developers, but man, I really like this idea as well. It just adds another layer on to the game.

You want to be sneaky and smooth when doing this mission? Go for it. Oh wait, you just want to go in there guns blazing, daring the cops to come stop you? Yeah, you can do that too.

Total freedom. Its what the game is all about and I love that they added it in to the game. Nothing is final, but I hope this feature makes it to the final product.

Final Thoughts...

How dare you rockstar. How f'n dare you leave us hanging like that? I mean really, could you of left us on a bigger cliff hanger then what you did? I am chill'n out in some sort of high-rise flat with a phat view of the city and a fucking jet comes scorching by my window. As I investigate further I realize that it was an actual player. The closer I look that more I realize that everyone that I see is an actual player.

Players in cars, walking, in planes, helicopters...is this some sort of MMO!?! Perhaps a MMO mode?!!1?one?

...and you say..."oh yea, this is the multiplayer...we will show you that soon"

not cool Rockstar...

I hope you are happy. Your point was made and you got all of us hooked in and wanting more. Good job so far. Don't let all the hype and positive reviews get to you though. This game has the potential of being one of the greatest of all time and I for one hope it is.

Friday Randomness is Random

YESSSSIR

I've been making more time in my daily life to actually play some video games. I am about 10-12 hours into the single player of "The Last of Us". I think its going to give any game coming out this year, including the next-gen consoles games, a run for game of the year.

PS3 is definitely going out with a bang. I also spent a few hours trying out the online multiplayer. Which was a mistake, it kinda fucked me up. It's basically a 4 vs 4 team death match with 20 shared lives. There is another mode which is the same thing, but instead of your team sharing 20 lives, you only live once a round. First team to win 3 rounds win the game. It is very unique and I have not played anything quite like it. It is safe to say that it has been consuming my soul this last week. It's that fun and I don't know...there is just something about rolling up on someone like a god damn ninja and taking them out with a weapon you crafted from spare parts found throughout the map.

So why did it fuck me up?!? Well, its because up until this point I was dead set and completely addicted to the single player story mode. Being the typical tard that I am, I decided to give online a go after about 2 hours of playing the story mode. Now I lost a ton of interest in playing the story mode due to the amount of fun the multiplayer is. There is no way that I am not going to finish the story mode, but man...now it is pretty tough not to load up and jump online.

Here is the most gangsta multiplayer review that I could find. It is a great overall video on the multiplayer feature and touches about every aspect.



In Other News....

I started playing some Madden 2013 again. The Ultimate Team mode is really the only mode I ever play. I love collecting cards and building my team. The constant updated solo challenges make the mode stay fresh and the end user wanting more. My current goal is to obtain the BEST PLAYER EVER...

...Leon Sandcastle. Don't believe me? How dare you sir

Every year around June / July I start playing again. I have the sickness. I am thoroughly addicted to the NFL and playing Madden helps tremendously. We are getting so close now! Training camps start in about a week for most teams. I am a hardcore Rams fan and lets just say that over the last 10 years its been pretty hard to stay a fan. With the NFC West taking the top 2 spots in most pre-season power rankings...its going to be an interesting year to say the most.

Big Brother 15 and Dexter

Oh snapfizzle son. Speaking of my sickness, one of the main things that I do to pass the time until the start of the NFL season is to pay attention to mindless TV like Big Brother 15.

This year the series is on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Sundays. Which I am OK with I guess. The first episode already aired and I wasn't that impressed. The casts seems kinda blah, but I'll give it a few weeks before I make my assessment.

One thing is sure, the producers sure did bring in some fine looking females. First impression so far is that there is going to be some super catty female drama...which is completely lame in my opinion...but we shall see.

Dexter starts this Sunday and is supposed to be the final chapter in the series. On one hand, I am excited to see how it ends and on the other hand, I am kinda sad to see it go. Don't worry, I won't spoil anything for people that might be up to date, but after the way last season ended. I am very excited to see how the writing staff is going to wrap it all up.

In my opinion, the writing staff has been up and down throughout the series, but overall good. I am willing to bet that they will finish strong though. Everyone is wondering WTF is going to happen to Dex. Is he going to get caught? They can't end it with him just continuing to be a CSI guy can they?

Xbox DRM Changes - Not all Party Hats and Hand-Jobs

Hola blog lovers!

Youtube user Boogie2988 is quite simple put, a genius. If you follow video games at all then I am sure you know or have seen his "Francis" videos. I don't know exactly why I find them so entertaining, but I can't help but to crack up everytime I see his videos...he is super awesome.

Here is his reaction to Xbox Changing its DRM Policies. Make sure to check out his channel and sub, he is one of the few YouTuber's that I follow weekly.



Have you made a decision on if you are going to get a next gen console? If so, have you decided on which system? There are plenty of pros and cons on the situation, but that is for another time.

Until next time,  I'm WTFout!

"The Last Of Us" Looks Good....

No shit right?

If for some reason you haven't heard of Naughty Dog's newest game "The Last Of Us", you can thank me by following me on twitter.

DO IT!!

While I for one did not enjoy playing their previous franchise, the Indian Jones type adventure game, Uncharted. I definitely appreciated how amazing it looked. I tried to play it, but it just wasn't that fun to me. I did like the story so much that I ended up watching YouTube "Lets Play" videos on all three games. Strangely enough, I enjoyed watching it like a TV series or movie more then actually playing it.

So when I heard of their new game, it caught my attention. There was a demo out on the PSN, but due to the lack of time I have in my life currently, I ended up watching someone else play it on YouTube...

...what has my life come to these days? I digress

Check out this play-through of the demo.



Pretty f'n intense right?!? I almost made up my mind and decided that it was unlikely that I would actually attempt to play it. I figured that it might have the same feeling as Uncharted did for me. However, I decided to check out this review from Rev3Games the day before it came out.

I'll just say that after watching the in depth review, I am going to go out and buy this game. It looks like a classic, I just can't resist myself. It releases world wide on the best day of the year, Flag Day. (June 14th 2013)

Until next time, I'm WTFout!

Music Remixes / Covers - Better then the Original?

"One good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain"
-Bob Marley

Pretty badass quote in my opinion. If you think otherwise, you can go fuck yourself.

THATS RIGHT!

Music is serious business people! I've found myself listening to more and more covers or remixes of songs these days. It begs the question, are they better then the original?

"Better" is a strange word to describe it. I think a more appropriate term to use is "unique". A song that is covered by another performer can take on a whole new meaning, strike a completely different emotion, or just add the artist's favor to it.

Overall I think the concept of them are pretty badass. Below are some of my favorite remixes / covers of songs. Share some of your favorites in the comment section unless you are lame. If that is the case, please see below.

Until next time, I'm WTFout!
