+1.

I have always imagined the original GTA developers (20 years ago) being inspired by that 1968 Bullit chase. Steve McQueen driving like he stole it on those insanely steep SF streets -- nothing cooler has been filmed since.

Sounds like Ringtone3 is morse code. I haven't the energy to see what it means.

I like McQueen and bullit is a great chase sequence but for me Ronin has a better one.

I liked that chase, but the longer shots and raw simplicity of the Bullit chase wins for me.

Is Frank giving us a clue about the upcoming game? Will we be chasing other robots around before we end up on ramps at the end game?

Just wondering.

Perhaps. If I had to guess a clue to next year's game based on the post, it's that it's gonna be a YUGE game! With YUGE robots!
