Channel Update - June 2020 | Future Video is decided (Patreon)

Hello there! Here is some fresh news for you.

~~~Future video

In the last update I was struggling what to make next; GTA VC Beta Analysis or GTA VC - Interesting Facts. I made my decision and the next video will be...

~~~GTA VC Beta Analysis [Part 2]

Right now I am writing a script for this video. Things are going really smooth right now. You are probably wondering if you hear known information in this video and I hope not. I've tried my best to collect barely known facts and I doubt that they are widely known. For instance, did you know that there was going to be a carshop in Downtown?  Did you know about GTA 3 save system leftovers in Vice City? Well, stay tuned for the video. 

But there was something else that I was doing since the last channel update.

~~~Behind the scenes

If you follow me on Twitter, then you probably know that I asked the community to sell me an old Galaxy S4 or S5. I wanted to test hidden debug features in the first version of GTA VC on Android. 

I had always heard that people activated these features somehow, but I didn't have a proper phone to run this version and test it by myself. The biggest problem is, this version runs only on Android 4 and only on the real hardware. 

Luckily enough there was one viewer, who sold me his Galaxy S4 for a decent price and I am very grateful to him. The rest tried to make money offering me their old phones for $150. 👀

But anyways, the rumours were right, the first version of VC on Android DOES have hidden debug features and everyone can activate them. Do you know how? By bashing the gamepad. No wonder why this menu was cut from the future versions. 😅 

Interestingly enough, the menu is invincible by default and by screwing a little bit with the game, the text will appear:

Despite the fact that it says "page 1", there are only 19 different options you can enable or disable here and to be honest they are not so interesting and most of them do not even work, sadly.

Don't you think that it would be too silly to waste time and money buying an old phone to test these lousy 19 options? Well, FireHead told me that there are more hidden debug and cut features in this release and thanks to my new device, we can finally test them in-game.

For instance, there are hidden debug cheats in this version and one of them is "DebugAnimOnPlayerPed". This cheat activates "bail out" animation.

Other cheats do something around various coordinates, one of these places, for instance, is inside of this building:

Sadly, some of these cheats do not work anymore and crash the game.

Right now we are testing these cheats and if everything goes okay, this might be a future video.P.S. This is why I bought a Bluetooth keyboard. 😁

Also, I noticed that the game looks way better on the old hardware. Like I said on Twitter, the picture on the newer phones looks too saturated and unnatural. Also, due to a different screen aspect ration, there are these black stripes. To be honest, this is why I didn't use mobile footage so much and barely talked about this platform

Since the game looks better on Galaxy S4, this might mean that I can finally use mobile footage without worrying that it looks like a v**mit.

Unfortunately, GTA VC runs like cr*p on S4 and that is why I bought Samsung Galaxy Note 4 on eBay.

So yeah, I am apparently collecting an old hardware now, but well, I hope, it will be worth it.  🙄

This is it. Stay tuned for more news.
