In a New York Times article, Hollick revealed that he earned about $100,000 for 15 months of work recording dialogue for his role as GTA IV's protagonist. The game, however, has gone on to rake in over $600 million in a mere two weeks.

And Hollick won't see a dime of it.

Thats his agencys fault I read and he holds them responsible not R*. + the fact doing the job for R* is going to help his portfolio alot.

15 months of work? He spent 2 years doing the voice work for IV.

And,

Unlike other forms of entertainment, the Screen Actor's Guild doesn't have policy in place for video games, so actors don't get royalties on each game sold, even if the game becomes one of the best selling titles of all time.

Games companies aren't exactly itching to hop on the royalties bandwagon either. While it would be easy enough to institute, they fear that soon designers, graphics artists, programmers...basically everyone involved in the production of a video game would be wanting similar agreements.

Although, they will probably change the policy soon. What with videogames getting bigger and bigger.

Well I finally did the story.......90 missions without replaying any, dying, being busted or cheating.

A pat on the back for me, from me

I got the game Tuesday (hence why i'm going to finally start posting here PicoDeath ;) ).

Currently just failed Snow Blow after being shot through the windscreen by cops. Just did the Union mission for X. Haven't tried the Francis mission and on the second one for Dwayne.

This is the best game i've played in my life, although I would like to be able to buy a few properties throughout the city.

I'm really glad they got rid of that constantly need for food thing that was on SA.

I wish we could purchase some businesses too, I loved that whole system.

[Sobriquet.]

Yeah, buying businesses was awesome.

So i finally beat it....well, the storyline atleast.
Can't say I was really challenged in the end, or at any mission throughout the game. I mean i did retart it a few times..but mainly cuz of stupidness on my part.

Pretty Easy...

Now, to abuse cheats.

bump

Started to play the 360 ver of it and I can say that it looks better. However, its feels clunkier ie movement of Nico (and it isn't the pad)
