Thanks, The Gentleman!
The detail in that game is unreal!
In the first video you posted; After he knocks over the pole with his car
(1:50), the car "bumps" as it drives over it. He knocks the broom out of the guys hand (2:40). The detail on the wheels of the motorcycle (4:30). Not to mention the shadows!
And that's just from a cappy video camera.
Plus, they put the car wash in, which was taken out of GTA:SA. I like how RS listens to what the players want.
The leaked gameplay is spreading like wildfire at the moment. A few things I found hilarious and amusing were:
Running over pedestrians and having them fly/bounce off the windshield
Getting drunk in-game (your controls suck and the character starts falling everywhere and drives erraticly)
Getting jumped by fat bikers after pushing one off his bike as he parked
Shoot a guy in the leg or groin and he reacts realistically (funny physics again)
...and the best happened to be a clip of the character getting into a fight with a few guys who were shooting dice on a street corner. As the character is beating the shit out of one guy who's in the fetal position on the ground a cop walks by, sees the character, busts out his gun and tells the character to put his hands up. The character complies and as the cop approaches to cuff him, the character bursts into a full blown sprint like something you'd see in Cops. All real-time gameplay.
I'm going to stop looking at these videos now and just wait the 6 days for the game. The game really looks like a cinematic piece of art and has persuaded me to pick up gaming again. Doing a little bit of research, I found out this GTA has online for up to 16 players with some pretty innovative match types like Cops & Robbers, Car Boosting, Free-play, Racing, and Deathmatches. Imagine the kind of havoc you can wreak
. The violence critics say these kinds of games turn people into violent psycopaths. Games don't make psycopaths, they just make us more creative.
