    I guess it’s not something one can ask what with confidentiality clauses, but I’ll try my luck anyway: how much involvement did you have with this first iteration of SA? Would you be allowed any kind of design input on the ports? Small additions etc?

    I must admit rolling with the hype and looking very forward to this game. Congrats on the great response so far.

    (I still want to be able to do drive-by stabbings, though: Just me, 180MPH wind rushing past my bike, and a katana blade held out to my side)

    I think I am allowed to say that I had nothing to do with GTA:SA whatsoever.

    Just finished my second 9 hour stint. Too many good things to say about it, punctuated by very minor problems (slow, animation drivern user interfaces, mainly).

    Um. If you’re nice about it, and you don’t expect me to reply or take a position or anything, feel free.

    BTW, nice site, how did you do that effect?

    It’s fair to say that there are many imperfections. I think that most people are just digging the overwhelming size of the playground, and reckoning with the possibilities of it all. That’s a great feeling when so many funnelled “it’s all about the experience” type games are prolific.

    well, those imperfections you mention are spoiling a great deal of my experience, which is basically my big point. but when i try to type this for the third time i realise i’d rather have a good discussion via email, in dutch and not in a… well… comment box ;)

    so, if you want to you can email me. you can also not email me. if you want to, of course ;)

    mh, interesting you wiki looks.

    i will definitely look into that, but it just ocurred to me tha an email discussion about the design of gta(:san andreas) with another dutch game/interactive entertainment fanatic is always nice.

    Well, sorry for not being Dutch, but for what it’s worth, I am actually IN Holland, which is more than I can say for Jurie, that traitor!

    All of a sudden I am reminded that I’ve been wanting to test TypePad’s IP banning feature.

    gentlemen, gentlemen, no need to pull out your duelling IP bans. :)

    Aubrey: i do not blame you for being dutch, that would be silly. for what reason do you reside in the netherlands?

    Jurie: but seriously i’d like a good discussion about game design. and i only want a discussion in dutch because my dutch is far better than my english.
