Okay, I'm no rookie with GTA III or any other games from this era and have been playing them for years. Yet I can't believe only yesterday I came to a point where it seemed like Claude actually said something after a decade of the game's original release date. It may not have been him but it sure sounded like he was the guy that spoke.

So I stole some poor guy's car to save in Portland. As Claude pulled out the driver, I heard the words "Go ride the bus" uttered in a calm tone and it sure as hell didn't sound like the guy that got jacked (he's fat and has a blue and white stripped t-shirt) as he screamed in a very different tone, running away after I got in the car. There was no action going on nearby and no gang is hostile to me yet, so I don't think anybody nearby said it. It caught me by surprise and I never thought I'd suspect Claude to utter a single word.

I can't confirm this for sure, but I'll try it again later when I play. If the version matters, then this is my version with this exact cover.

That's interesting. Maybe that was a pedestrian speaking?

[cidamelo]

Oh this is interesting!! Can you keep playing and record a video and see if it happens again? I've never heard Claude speaking, only moaning when he hurts

[stef_92]

I'm 100% sure that this was not Claude. He absolutely doesn't speak in the game. You probbably heard some of the peds saying something simmilar to this. Believe me, I have checked all sounds in the SFX archive and there's nothing that could be Claude's speech.

Are you on PC or PS2? It could have easily been a leftover from the original intended game that remained in the PS2 version but removed from PC version and I happened to hear it. The voice was deep and calm, pretty much somewhere between the voices of Tommy Vercetti and Toni Cipriani in LCS. Not easy and clear enough, yet easy to hear. As we speak, it's that time of the day again so I'm off to turn on my PS2 and play some more GTA 3. I'll try carjacking the same ped a few times and listen carefully if the same word is heard. The peds always have a more high pitched voice and there's no reason for any of them to tell someone else to ride a bus.

I don't think it was Claude because I think I read somewhere he is missing his tongue, it was removed by some of Claude's criminal buddies.

HAHAHAHA! WTF are you talking about. This is UNtrue :D:D I haven't heard such bullsh**. Where could anyone get such information

@Flesh-n-Bone : I am using the PC version. Anyway there couldn't be any leftovers from previous recording because there weren't recorded any vocals for Claude. What I mean is - he was not supposed to speak even when Rockstar started the creation of GTA 3.

I just remember reading that somewhere.

"The voice was deep and calm, pretty much somewhere between the voices of Tommy Vercetti and Toni Cipriani in LCS."

I have GTA 3 for ps2 and xbox and I can say that is ped. But if you will prove it or something - just record some video orr.. I don't know. But I'm pretty shure it was a ped. But I'm unsure, because that's a copy which was released under DMA logo, so there will be more leftovers that I can imagine

[Flesh-n-Bone]

This seems really hard to catch again, yesterday I carjacked a good number of people with total silence. Hell, I could have been imagining that voice in my head for all I know, it was at 4 AM and I was really tired. So I can't say I can hear it again, but I will try some more cause this is very interesting. Just wish a veteran gamer from way back when the game came out with the same copy can try the same.

[Filip454]

Yup - say hello to another veteran and Arsen is another and stef is another and we haven't heard anything like that.

Lol, Claude didn't talk in GTA San Andreas neither, so

It might be true if that was a glitch.
Because Ps2 has some leftovers, and game accidentally loaded it...
You are not lying, there are bugs in-game that if Something was removed it might mistakenly load it, usually if game runned for long time, or sometimes just when it's started straight away, Like Lightless Taxi, Lightless Cabbie..
I had GTA Vice City running for 4 days, and it Didn't turn it off, and once I was playing, I found tons of Lightless Taxi's, Cabbie's, Kaufman Cab's...
I found one Lightless Zebra.
Also, When I was driving a Cheetah too fast, instead of loading original, it loaded Beta Cop car (well, it was kinda light grey, darker colour then on beta pics), just 2 sec after I jacked it, it turned back to normal,
Might be possible that that was the ped, but, I have no Idea, try doing it again, try recording it, it might happen.
Again, try running GTA 3 turned on on PS2, for few days, then try jacking a car or something.

I think a man can moan without a tongue, as long as his vocal cords are intact.

Ahh, I mixed moaning with something else accidentally, yeah, he can moan without a tongue.
But he HAS tongue.

Maybe the pedestrian want Claude to ride the bus rather than stealing

That's the most likely solution.

How he'd know that? He only raced with him and saw him from a distance, I think. He only called him like that because he didn't say anything, I think.

Obviously, he just randomly popped that, people say some people have no tongues, because they rarely talk, like Ferb...
He has tongue, he also talks in GTA 2...
