(continued from previous page) ...store clothes, cars, weapons, money and some even have helipads and docks for choppers and boats. You can buy a hangar at the airport to store your plane.
PSU: Visually, what have you been able to push with PlayStation 3’s processing power?
Phillips: The animation in the game has been improved, which allows us to seamlessly grab any character in the game for a human shield. We’re able to do more with two-person animation, which also allowed us improve melee combat. The combat’s much more visceral. You can slam people on the ground or against walls and do all types of violent stuff that just wasn’t possible in the first game.
PSU: From a technology standpoint, how have you been able to up the ante with this new Stillwater?
Phillips: Since we worked on the original, we’ve been able to improve every aspect of this game’s visuals from the environments to the characters. We’ve added new features like buffer effects and depth of field effects. We took everything from the first game and streamed it faster and made Stillwater an even larger world to explore. It’s really paid off with the new vehicles. You can drive fast on land, sea or air and there are no streaming issues.

PsStedUP..Dont call this game a "GTA wannab" you should be saying "Thank God for this game" as long as games like this come out we know GTA will push to be better.. The day there isnt a "GTA wannab" then GTA will start to get old and with less and less improvements with each game.. I mean crap look at Madden!

gta stays improving no matter what game comes out. they can try to B like gta , all i see is them trying to B like gta, they jus wont
B like gta ever. i know wen a game is a waste of money , and i know wen a games better that the other... 3 spectactular games in 4 years with out any competition that mattered inbetween each year. they know how to make good games and they blow the competition out of the water every time someone trys to imitate -

@ Solidus_Snake223: You're right. Competition creates innovation. While I believe GTA is the best of its kind, I still think it needs to have competition to make Rockstar keep their heads in the game.

As long as this game doesn't have any issues, game wise or price wise (I heard the 360 version is cheaper), I might pick this one up. I've always liked games where I could customize my character.

you cant compete with gta. they know what their doing, their not new to this, they dont look at what other people are makeing or what the next games got, they dont care, they made it happen year after year and i was never dissapointed, all im saying is they got knock off competitors that they dont need for them to improve, i playedsaint row 1, yea its not bad, but what game is when it has the same theme as gta, they cant top it, so why waste the living money when you got gta

Im interested because the coop and the editor, but Im afraid of two things in the interview:
-When they asked how big, they talk about the history and no the size of the world.
-When they asked about coop, they talk about two player in the same vehicle and not driving two vehicles.
Sounds like evasives to me, maybe the coop it's similar to the San Andreas two players mode, the cant take two vehicles at the same time and can't get too far one from another.
Sure that im wrong, but the answers, I don't know, sounds like they are hidding something.

Sounds like a sequel to San Andreas to me. I never played Saints Row (cus I don't have a 360) but this game seems to pick up where San Andreas left of, and not moving in a different direction like GTA IV. So I think both will be great games in their own way.

This does sound quite impressive, hopefully it will play well.
I'll probably be at that stage with GTA where all i want to do is destroy everyone and everything anyway !
