Jayt001 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 R* and their viral marketing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrKlorox Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Actually, it won't look EXACTLY like the original wanted pdf/jpgs because you can see below WANTED it ends in "UTO" which is presumably the end of "Grand Theft Auto", which cannot be "Assault with a deadly weapon" like in the original.

protein Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 so niko is about 5'11'' - 6'2''. do you think that people will actually be of different sizes/heights? i hope so. there's no game where people are taller/shorter and such. there are a few "types" of peds and that's it. hope this will be different. btw...how tall do you think niko actually is...just curious.

johno. Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 That's sweet. So there are two now? It doesn't seem like they are painting over the old one. It's the same building. You can't paint an image over another image, the outline of the previous one would show through. They would have put a base coat down first.

krashdown Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Wow that wall must have heaps of coats of paint, all that extra weight might do some damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llol_slim Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 how the hell do they paint that well?! Its an amazing skill to be able to do something that huge. I wonder if they have monitors or something so they can gauge anything that needs altering.. on the E they have painted some white spots, I wonder if they were mistakes..
