Grand Theft Auto 5

[Drakul]

The reason for skipping VC was that they thought they had captured Miami pretty well the first time where as they felt LC was worth revisiting to do it right.

I also found out recently that, apparantly, GTA 1 and 2 were just videogames with in the GTA universe.

[Mr. C]

I want all the stuff San Andreas had that GTA IV didn’t like haircuts, tattoos, working out at the gym, etc.

[Kane Knight]

I want all the stuff San Andreas had that GTA IV didn’t like haircuts, tattoos, working out at the gym, etc.

You play it so close to the chest. What is it you want again?

[Mr. C]

You play it so close to the chest. What is it you want again?

Eh, I'm bored. Ready to watch the trailer.

[Juan]

I want all the stuff San Andreas had that GTA IV didn’t like haircuts, tattoos, working out at the gym, etc.

I thought all that shit was annoying.

I wanna shoot people, not a virtual pet.

[FearedSanctity]

You play it so close to the chest. What is it you want again?

No shit, I keep having to check and make sure it's not sending me back to the same page of this thread. Holy fucking broken record

[Captain of Fun]

I thought all that shit was annoying.

This. Clothing is enough. I'd rather they put in more ways to brutally murder people than haircuts and tattoos.

[Mr. C]

This. Clothing is enough. I'd rather they put in more ways to brutally murder people than haircuts and tattoos.

If you want more ways to brutually murder people, just go play Manhunt. Made also by Rockstar, but much more violent than any GTA.

[Kane Knight]

This. Clothing is enough. I'd rather they put in more ways to brutally murder people than haircuts and tattoos.

And they are mutually exclusive after all.

So finally we know the game will be set in Canada.

[Drakul]

The first thing you see in the trailer is a dog. So animals are in. Considering they put dogs in and it looks like they have a wilderness in the game (the guys in front of the mountain) I'm willing to bet we'll get wild animals aswell.

[Kalyx triaD]

Just tell me online Free Mode will adopt all of RDD's improvements and smoothness.

[Drakul]

I don't see why not. It went down a storm for RDR. They might not have bounties but I can't see why they wouldn't have everything else in some way (leveling up, gang hide outs, forming a gang, hunting etc).

[Drakul]

A worker for R* (yes, a real one) on FB has said "the map is 2,5 times bigger than RDR". I'm not sure what he means by 2,5.

Either he means between 2 and 5 times the size of RDR or he means it's 2x5 times the size of RDR or, least likely, he meant it's 25 times the size of RDR.

[RoXer]

2.5

Two and a half

[Drakul]

Yeah, I realised that a second ago.

[Kalyx triaD]

That's awesome, but a part of me really wanted VC to be the city. Miami, bitches.

Still, the multiplayer in GT4 and RDR were TPWW faves (GTA4 began the TPWW Inv series). Details will be a long ways off but I'm eager for them.

[Drakul]

If the leaked details are true, we're looking at 32 player free roam on consoles. Given how big the map is, I'd say that makes sense.

[Kalyx triaD]

H-hey!

[The Destroyer]

Well, it certainly looks nice. Here's hoping for a ludicrously detailed San Andreas type open world.

[Drakul]

Someone has pointed out that all the licence plates say San Andreas, which makes sense because that's the state they are in, but one scene (the guys in red coming out the van) has a plate that reads "Las Palmas".

Suggestion is Las Palmas is the state Vice City is in. Seems a stretch but you never know.

[Kalyx triaD]

A tale of two coasts.

[Drakul]

Well they have noticed that certain characters are shown multiple times in the trailer. The Frank West look-a-like and the bald guy running from the police.

Another detail was that we'd play as multiple people and that money was a big deal to the story.
The trailer shows wealth and then shows poverty. We see a guy in a big house, then people living on the street. We see a guy in a sports car and then a guy begging on the street. etc.

So it could be true and we could be playing in SA and VC from different financial/racial backgrounds.

[Drakul]

Though I think that's unlikely.

[Extreme Angle]

So is this next gen? Looks too good...

[Kalyx triaD]

No it doesn't. It's where today's consoles are at.

[Drakul]

They never stated which consoles the game is for at the end of the trailer. Given how big the map is and how good it looks, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a next gen launch game.
Though, no one but Nintendo has a console coming out any time soon and R* aren't going to dangle GTA V in front of us for 2+ years.

[Extreme Angle]

No it doesn't. It's where today's consoles are at.

good one... :wtf:

[Requiem]

What? That looks like current gen. If that's all next-gen has to offer us, then I'm already disappointed. Why do people think that looks like anything past what current gen can do? Seems like they are really just 'pushing the limitations' of the current gen.

[Drakul]

Looks like V is in the same universe as IV, according to some people.

GTA IV (All 3 episodes) spoiler:
http://i43.tinypic.com/28vrmeo.jpg
Homeless guy in GTA V trailer.

http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091101105448/gtawiki/images/8/89/JerryKapowitz-TBOGT.JPG
The same homeless guy in GTA IV. Jerry Kapowitz is the guy that found the diamonds at the end of TBoGT and he left for Vice City with his new wealth. Clearly things didn't go well and he ended up homeless again on the other side of the country, in San Andreas.

So, we have him on the streets in V so there is a chance other faces will appear.

Such as Niko. He has a plane ticket to SA in GTA IV:
http://www.igta5.com/images/niko-bellic-san-andreas-flight-ticket-gta5.png

And, as you see in the ending to the first episode of GTA IV, Packie left LC in a plane. So he could turn up as well.

[FearedSanctity]

Based on how things went with GTAIV, I'd say this is def a current gen game, though possibly a WiiU launch title.

IV's trailer debuted end of March '07 and had an October '07 launch date, though that did get delayed to April '08 due to technical issues with the PS3 and storage issues with 360, things that shouldn't be a problem now. So if they're showing it off now, it's probably just about done and almost ready for release, and with Sony and Microsoft not saying shit about their new consoles yet, I just can't see this being a next gen title

[DS]

Fuck you. These are my threads.

Well since G has decided to not come here and make this, he told me to.

Extreme Angle must be unknowingly playing his games in standard definition.

[Extreme Angle]

Looks sleeker than IV to me...

[Requiem]

Thank god the real thread is here finally. Was getting anxious.

[FearedSanctity]

Don't almost all sequels to any game look sleeker, even when on the same console? Having more experience with the system can make all the difference

[Captain of Fun]

It could very well be the PC version that they are showing.

Also, developers still haven't tapped the full potential of the current gen consoles.

[DS]

Grand Theft Auto V will be set in Rockstar's fictional world of San Andreas.

San Andreas is a fictional U.S Southwestern state which includes three cites based on real U.S cities - Los Santos, (Los Angeles), San Fierro (San Francisco) and Las Venturas (Las Vegas). Rockstar has a habit of tweaking its cities, and GTA V is set in modern day, so it's possible that area names and the city's layout will change.

Previously, it has only appeared in one game - Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, which came out in 2004. That game was based in the early 1990s against a a backdrop of drug crimes and gang warfare. It drew heavily upon cultural references such as the movie Boyz n the Hood and musical influences such as Tupac.

San Andreas differs from GTA 4's Liberty City not only in that it comprises three cities - and rural territory between them - but also in its heavy California culture.

GTA: San Andreas remains the best-selling PlayStation 2 game of all time.

[RoXer]

Some good facts there.

I heard you can drive cars in this one.

[DS]

Future warning, I will shiv anyone who says the narrator is an old Tommy Vercetti.

[DS]

Looks like the rumors were true. There will be police in this one.

[Extreme Angle]

The 360 version wont look like that without some form of installation

[RoXer]

Future warning, I will shiv anyone who says the narrator is an old Tommy Vercetti.

Good thing I can only find such a controversial point in this official thread and in no other thread here on TPWW. Such interesting points of debate is what really keeps the integrity of this official thread.

[DS]

I appreciate your support.

[Requiem]

Why are you guys still posting in this old thread? I don't know if you're aware of this, but the poster formerly known as the poster formerly known as DS is a GTA thread legend around these parts. You will be missing out on all kinds of vital information which will only be posted first-hand in The Official GTA V Thread.

[Requiem]

Probably going to pre-order this game, which I don't do often.

[Mooияakeя™]

GTA V: San Andreas pretty much then. Good times. If there is no VC in this, I pray that they just get something bashed out as add. content or something to go there. I'm a sucker for VC, so if it's gonna be a PS4 release then cool.

Anyway, back to now, YAY LOS SANTOS.

[Requiem]

Wonder if they just upgraded the engine, or if they've reworked huge portions of it.

Hoping for some upgrade to vehicle physics mostly. What was that bit about it being similar to the feel of RDR?

Was RDR it's own engine, or did they borrow heavily from the GTA engine?

[DS]

RDR used Rage/Euphoria just like GTA and I'm sure there have been plenty of tweaks to it at this point.

Mostly hoping for a PC version on release. But with the history of the series I'm not going to be shocked if there isn't.

[Requiem]

Would love for a Steam release.

[DS]

Gonna blare Flight of the Valkyries while flying my blimp around in multiplayer.

[DS]

This morning, the Grand Theft Auto V trailer exploded on the Internet with a voice that sounds and a character that looks a lot like Grand Theft Auto: Vice City protagonist Tommy Vercetti. IGN argued during our livestream as to whether or not the voice was indeed Goodfellas star and Vice City voice Ray Liotta, and now we have an answer.

Ray Liotta's voice is not in the trailer. IGN reached out to Liotta's representatives, and they confirmed that the actor's golden pipes aren't in the trailer.

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/121/1211384p1.html

Well glad that's settled.

[RoXer]

Looks like a blimp in the first picture.

I don't see it

[DS]

If there's one thing that trailer shows it's that there's a lot of blimps. There is a blimp is like every other scene.

[El Fangel]

Probably going to pre-order this game, which I don't do often.

In fact for me, the ONLY game I have pre-ordered prior was GTA4.

[DS]

Also, there's a road sign for Little Seoul. Korea Town here I come.

And with the shot of beach gym I wouldn't be surprised if work outs made a return.

[El Fangel]

I haven't felt this excited for any game in a loooooooooooonnnnnngggggggg time.

[DS]

http://i.imgur.com/IdeRZ.png

Hard to tell in this picture but the truck closest to the camera had about 4 people sitting in the back of it. Don't know if this will be useful in single player but could be useful in multiplayer.

[El Fangel]

I am quite certain I have repped every DS post in this thread.

[El Fangel]

56 Seconds looks like the Phoenix <3

1:03 - Looks like fixed wing aircraft! <3

[DS]

The blue car at the 49 second mark appears to be modified as well. A similar car can be seen turning left at the 53 second mark with a different front end. Merely speculation.

Also, if you watch the scene with the mountain, you can see the clouds morph. Pretty good stuff. Same with the dust cloud the truck is kicking up in the wind turbine scene.

[El Fangel]

Goddamn, happy as hell right now. It has my favorite car in my favorite setting and

[El Fangel]

I also noticed that the license plates are actual plates and dont just say the name of the city, wonder if that will be keep in the game.

Custom plates would be a cool car mod.

[DS]

Now that dogs are official...I'm assuming swat will use them too?

[Kalyx triaD]

The 360 version wont look like that without some form of installation

Have you played Battlefield 3, Halo Reach, Bioshock, etc?

360's a beast and so's PS3. Visuals like that are impressive as they are expected. You got guys like Cliffy B talking about having Avatar-like visuals for next gen. Better visuals are a given, that's not something consoles 'need' to strive for anymore.

I said a long time ago the "blue ocean" is crossing entertainment applications and connectivity. EA is already heading there (in stumbling steps). Microsoft will get over this Kinect crap and refocus on 360 as an entertainment machine eventually.

[DS]

http://i.imgur.com/LjY0K.png

Not that they couldn't have got lucky calling the location or that the protag was hispanic but fun to think about. All I want is a PC launch. :(

Also, bicycle at 55 seconds.

Some people could argue that that belongs in a spoiler tag

I don't see the first one at all but the second I would guess is a good chance. The third would be a pretty good jab after the money issue with the voice actor for Niko.

If that second guy is supposed to be Tommy, he looks a bit too young considering Tommy would be around 60 if this takes place in 2011-2012. He looks almost the same as the picture from VC and that was during the 1980s.

[DS]

Some people could argue that that belongs in a spoiler tag

Sorry! Bicycle at 55 seconds.

If that second guy is supposed to be Tommy, he looks a bit too young considering Tommy would be around 60 if this takes place in 2011-2012.

Agreed.

That is going to fucking suck. I can tell you that right now.

Also, bicycle at 55 seconds.

:heart:

If that second guy is supposed to be Tommy, he looks a bit too young considering Tommy would be around 60 if this takes place in 2011-2012.

The guy does look late 50's and honestly would anyone mind if Tommy gave you a few missions to do for him? I mean he DID become a kingpin at the end of VC.

[Hanso Amore]

At first I was like SHIT, I dont want to be in San Andreas AGAIN.

But then I thought, it will be cool since its a modern setting. Early 90s LA vs today is much different.

My Guess is there will be Mexican Cartels, Russian/Chinese mobs etc. Lots of Vapid hollywood types. Reality TV.

I would prefer a modern day Vice City though.

[DS]

I'm guessing the coughing during the crop dusting isn't just a cinematic since they also have gas masks on in the trailer. So look for weapons like tear gas. With the volumetric clouds (dirt, crop dusting, etc) it could be useful just to have smoke grenades too.

[DS]

List of locations in trailer:

Little Seoul
Los Puerta
Los Santos
Dei Perro
Las Ventura Fwy (background with homeless guy)
Vinewood

So, this game is going to be fun?

Because the last one sure as Hell wasn't.

Also, I can't unmerge this shit.

[Mr. C]

IV's trailer debuted end of March '07 and had an October '07 launch date, though that did get delayed to April '08 due to technical issues with the PS3 and storage issues with 360, things that shouldn't be a problem now. So if they're showing it off now, it's probably just about done and almost ready for release, and with Sony and Microsoft not saying shit about their new consoles yet, I just can't see this being a next gen title

The length of time between the trailer and release for both LA Noire and Max Payne 3 was/is six months. Same as the trailer and original release for GTA IV, as you pointed out. Six months from now is May.

[El Fangel]

This has me as excited as SA did.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I have to ask why? Not a criticism, just curious as to what this 1 minute trailer has that GTA4's debut didn't.

[El Fangel]

It isn't a massive wall of gray and brown for one.

[Buzzkill]

What the eff is everybody on about now

[Buzzkill]

Man alive

[RoXer]

what? no one is bitching about anything new

[RoXer]

except for a great thread having to be merged into an inferior one :(

[Mr. C]

I'm pretty sure that this will be a brand new character in a modern day San Andreas. They've never brought back the main character from a past GTA as the main character for another GTA. Yes, Claude was in San Andreas, but I'm talking about who you actually are. That's not to say this won't feature any characters from past GTAs, but the guy talking in the trailer, who I assume you are in the game, isn't an older Tommy Vercetti, even if IGN is speculating.

[Kane Knight]

They never stated which consoles the game is for at the end of the trailer. Given how big the map is and how good it looks, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a next gen launch game.

I would, given exactly what you said next. There being no new console kinda puts a damper on that, and they're probably not playing with the new tech, so....

[Requiem]

Hasney is the worst mod ever. The Mackem wouldn't have stood for this outrage. He was a man of tradition. Way to ruin DS's return by obliterating the official GTA V thread.

[Requiem]

I hope you all realize that you will be missing out on the incredible GTA V coverage that DS typically brought to these threads. :nono:

[FearedSanctity]

The length of time between the trailer and release for both LA Noire and Max Payne 3 was/is six months. Same as the trailer and original release for GTA IV, as you pointed out. Six months from now is May.

Which would go surprisingly well with this shot I found on 4chan

http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/5819/1320273026250.jpg

[El Fangel]

Yeah, If Hasney had read the thread and seen how mint it was he wouldn't have done this.

I think DS should just create a new one and get what we were originally going to have.

[Blitz]

I just hope it strikes the same tone as San Andreas. Also I want the harrier and jetpack back.

[G]

I hope the turf wars are gone. Anything that involves having to rush back and defend something while you are fucking around. Fuck that

Totally. Hoping Saints Row 3 got rid of that too.

[El Fangel]

That Postal Truck has 2405 on it as well!!!

[El Fangel]

That song name is Small Faces by the way and whats even cooler is that it was released on...

May 24th 1968.

[Requiem]

May 24th release date? Idk. Will have to see if there are more than just a couple things that coincide.

[El Fangel]

I am putting in the time off request now for the 24th, 25th and 26th.

[G]

May 24th is a Thursday. Not happening.

[FearedSanctity]

Yeah I'd checked that earlier, but then I'd remembered that some big games usually come out later in the week, usually Friday, and thought it was possible

[G]

So far I only know of releases on Sunday (Nintendo), Tuesday and Friday. I seriously doubt they would release on a Thursday.

[El Fangel]

GTA4 released on a Tuesday get the fuck out of here G.

[G]

What the fuck does that have to do with anything

[G]

What am I missing that you would come in here and tell us that GTA 4 released on a Tuesday then tell me to get the fuck out.

[El Fangel]

Why wont they release it on a Thursday.

[G]

Answer my question Fallen Angel

[G]

ANSWER MY GODDAMN FUCKING QUESTION

[G]

(outside voice)

[El Fangel]

I figured you meant they wont release it except on a Friday or Saturday.

[FearedSanctity]

Why wont they release it on a Thursday.

Because Tuesday is the normal date, with Friday being the "special occasion" day

[Emperor Smeat]

Why wont they release it on a Thursday.

I've heard it a few times it has to do more of when shipments arrive at stores as a way for stores to save money with shipments. Non-Tuesday games might have custom shipment dates like how Nintendo releases a few big titles on Sundays.

[El Fangel]

Hmm, well I gotta say that isn't a coincidence.

[FearedSanctity]

There's technically nothing stopping them from releasing on a Thursday, there's just no precedent for it

[El Fangel]

I think it will be.

Thats 6 months, 21 days, 1 hours and 36 mins then.

[FearedSanctity]

Watching an IGN breakdown of the trailer, they point out that a sign for I-5 is shown (the Las Puerta Fwy sign). Not being from California I didn't quite get the relevance, but apparently I-5 is a major highway that connects almost all of the major cities. Could just be "another road" but given the importance of it in real life and it getting an intentional close up in the trailer it could be a hint

[Xero]

Well, officially can't wait. Haven't read the last few pages, but fuck yeah.

Also, for size comparison, assuming this is anywhere near correct, holy fucking shit:

[Captain of Fun]

Just stopping by to let everyone know that I don't give a fuck about DS or his thread.

[Mr. C]

Gamestop had a report that Rockstar was putting the finishing touches on the mini-games, so it seems like a large portion of the game is already done.

GTA 4 was a special case with the delay. The other GTAs came out six months after the trailer. It’s speculated they wanted to add in multiplayer after feeling some pressure, but I’ve never seen that confirmed.

Some people have noted the dates seen at the end of the Ballad of Gay Tony and in the trailer - they all say May 24th. The song in the trailer was released on a May 24th. These could be hints from Rockstar. I’m not one to jump the gun, but the coincidences are too strong to ignore. I really think we’ll see this game next May.

[DS]

May 24th is Sam Houser's (president of Rockstar) birthday.

[Mr. C]

Tommy Vercetti doesn't make sense to me. Perhaps there could be a mission where you go and visit someone on Grove Street, and CJ pays them a visit, but I just don't see Rockstar going back to Tommy. It just seems like a better choice to start fresh to build a better backstory.

[Buzzkill]

Well, officially can't wait. Haven't read the last few pages, but fuck yeah.

Also, for size comparison, assuming this is anywhere near correct, holy fucking shit:

http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/4266/mapm.jpg

Holy shit

[D Mac]

Haha fuck YOU DS!

[Kane Knight]

I think it will be.

Thats 6 months, 21 days, 1 hours and 36 mins then.

Let the spazztastic speculation begin!

[D Mac]

All I knows is this better have a talk station with Lazlo.

[Mr. C]

I'd prefer to play only one character per play-through.

Multiple playable characters is just a rumor one person made up, and for whatever reason, everyone posted it and wrote it up like it's real.

[FearedSanctity]

You've likely gleaned as much from yesterday's big Grand Theft Auto V debut trailer, but this morning's official announcement of the game from Rockstar confirms a "Los Santos" (Los Angeles-ish) setting, as well as the return of online multiplayer. "Grand Theft Auto V focuses on the pursuit of the almighty dollar in a re-imagined, present-day Southern California," the release reads, specifically pointing to "Los Santos and surrounding hills, countryside, and beaches" as the locales.

Predictably, the announcement calls GTAV "the largest and most ambitious game Rockstar has yet created," and company co-head Sam Houser characterizes the project as "another radical reinvention of the Grand Theft Auto universe." From that debut teaser, we're ... awaiting further evidence of that "radical reinvention" Houser promises. But hey, at least it looks like planes are back in the mix!

Despite making the game even more official, Rockstar has yet to announce a release window or platforms for the Rockstar North-led project.

[Savio]

they worked kinda fast:

That was so shitty Triple A probably loves it.

[RoXer]

What shitty things does Triple A like?

[Mr. C]

GTA IV's radio stations sucked. If it's in San Andreas, a modern Radio X would be epic featuring the likes of Papa Roach and Rev Theory.

[El Fangel]

I hated GTA IV soundtrack as well, San Andreas was the shit.

Take it with a grain of salt but the basic map of GTA V might have been leaked by a "disgruntled" employee getting fired from Rockstar but worked on the game.

It is also assumed to only be part of the actual game map because a version for San Francisco and Las Vegas are also rumored to be part of the game.

Funky is going to merge the old one with this one. It's tradition.

Also, the supposed "leaked" map appears to be fake.

[El Fangel]

Yeah!

Sea planes are back.

[El Fangel]

Pretty sure at some point in that trailer, you see that Jet thats at the first airport but cant for the life of me remember the name.

[DS]

Over 40 vehicles confirmed from the trailer.

More speculation.

[El Fangel]

17 Seconds looks like that tower in LS that you can jump off (has a parachute on top)
55-56 where it shows the guy holding the sign, the Interstate sign says I-7

More speculation.

And since palceholder dates are unheard of, I will take it as gospel.

Half the fun of these threads is epileptic trees.

[El Fangel]

Perhaps its to show its expected to be out by then?

[Mr. C]

Yeah, because those dates can ALWAYS be trusted.

[Emperor Smeat]

No way Rockstar releases the game before even showing it off at E3 next year which occurs almost a week later.

Probably going to be closer to Gamestop's UK store placeholder of a September release if it comes out in 2012. US branch doesn't have a date yet while the German branch is way too early with a January 2012 date.

[Mr. C]

A poster from GTA Forums is claiming to be a journalist for PSM UK and had the chance to view footage of Grand Theft Auto V at the developer's office. *Take this information strictly as rumors.*

1. Cars can be repaired/upgraded.

2. The dating aspect of the game is gone. You still have a cell phone, but only people you meet in the game will call you to ask you to do a mission or something else before the mission.

3. Weapons include the usual arsenal you'd expect, but flamethrowers, laser trip mines, and remote control mines are included. It's possible now to pick up objects in a buidling/street to use as a weapon. There's also a museum where it's possible to steal axes, swords, etc.

4. It's possible to rupture a fuel line, and if you shoot at the trail of gasoline, it will lead straight back to the car, blowing it up.

5. Mini games such as bowling, darts, ect. are all gone. You can enter triatholons, gamble, play basketball, and more.

6. Character customization is back, but only in terms of clothing, weight, etc. The character you start off with can't be altered by age, height, race, etc.

7. No children at all.

8. There's now the ability to grab people and use as shields in hostage situations.

9. The cops are much more realistic. If you kill somebody when there are no cops around, you won't run the risk of one star as often as you would in GTA 4. The cops will use dogs and rams to knock down the doors of buildings you're hiding in.

10. You can enter some buildings and lock the door or push objects in the way to barricade it.

11. You become better at things as the game progresses. If you only ride motorbikes then you'll increase your skills, same as weapons.

12. Weapons can be customized and some even home-made.

13. One mission involves breaking out a familiar GTA icon from a previous game.

14. Rain and even tremors will appear in the game.

[El Fangel]

Giggity giggity.

[Kane Knight]

Perhaps its to show its expected to be out by then?

/facepam.

That list of rumours looks like a pretty standard case of the rumours added to any recent release, give or take a few. Though considering some of them could be done in Saints Row/2, not completely unrealistic.

[El Fangel]

Im just saying, most expect it to be out in the next year or so.

They need to put a date for pre-orders before they know the actual release date.

[Kane Knight]

You mean....Exactly like was already being said?

Fuck, you're retarded.

[El Fangel]

No, I mean they put the date there so people who pre-ordered them would have a date that they would likely receive them by. They will change it likely once the drop date is announced. hurrrdurrrrr

[Kane Knight]

No, I mean they put the date there so people who pre-ordered them would have a date that they would likely receive them by. They will change it likely once the drop date is announced. hurrrdurrrrr

You mean, exactly what was implied by placeholder date?

Yeah, hurrdurr is right, you tard.

[El Fangel]

:D

[D Mac]

GTA IV's radio stations sucked. If it's in San Andreas, a modern Radio X would be epic featuring the likes of Papa Roach and Rev Theory.
I hated GTA IV soundtrack as well, San Andreas was the shit.

All I knows is this better have a talk station with Lazlo.

[Kane Knight]

Fangerl is proud to be an American, where at least education is optional.

[D Mac]

Fangel is Canadian.

[Kane Knight]

Fangel is Canadian.

You don't say.

[Mr. C]

I really think that’s CJ in the trailer. San Andreas happened in 1992, so if this game happens in 2012, he’d be 20 years older, not to mention the guy running from the cops does look older than CJ in SA, and there’s the rumor thatone of the missions involves breaking out a familiar GTA icon, which could very well be the part of the trailer where you see him running from the cops.
That bum is just a bum. I don’t know where people are getting Nikko from. Same thing with the narrator. Not Tommy Vercetti.

[Kane Knight]

I wouldn't mind seeing Niko homeless and broken.

Maybe it's wishful thinking?

[Mr. C]

No way he aged that much in 4 years.

Somebody suggested earlier it could be a jab at the voice actor for Nikko over pay. Wouldn't put it past Rockstar.

[Kane Knight]

Hey, being homeless and sucking dick for change ages you fast.

Ask Fan Gerl

[El Fangel]

I don't look a day over 25 thank you very much.

[Kane Knight]

I don't look a day over 925 thank you very much.

[El Fangel]

On a more serious note, if you could choose one thing to be in this game, what would it be?

I want airplanes, that's it. I miss being able to grab a Jet and fly to Las Venturas at will.

[Kane Knight]

http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ks9meynlCw1qzxzwwo1_500.jpg

Yeah, that's how you look. Now if only you had the wisdom. :p

[El Fangel]

And the mitochondria :shifty:

[Kane Knight]

I think it's Melatonin.

He is a jedi, not an insomniac.

Customizing of character HAS to be in. Not a complete create a character feature, but at least more clothing options, some hair, and tattoos.

[El Fangel]

Car mods I think as well. I really enjoyed having customized cars, especially lowriders :cool:

[El Fangel]

I think I have watched that trailer about 50+ times now, looking for things we may have missed haha.

[Drakul]

On a more serious note, if you could choose one thing to be in this game, what would it be?

A world that feels as active and living as RDRs and then some. I want to go to the suburbs and see a mailman attacked by a guard dog. I want to see groups of peds at 2am on a Friday/Saturday night, drunk, staggering down the street togethor. Car crashes, plane crashes (They were always entertaining in SA), train crashes, peds getting off and on buses. Thick traffic at rush hour, eerily deserted streets at night. I could go on and on. I want the ingame time to be more than a change of lighting and the ingame day to actually mean something.

I think I have watched that trailer about 50+ times now, looking for things we may have missed haha.

Some one has a video where they point almost everything in the trailer that could be of interest such as the sweat on the female hikers arm pit.

Ooooo Bigfoot, spent hours looking for it in SA :lol:

Did you guys see at :57 seconds? Headlights! OMG, headlights are gonna be in this game. I'm so excited!

[Kane Knight]

1:04....Wind farms...I bet they're playable characters!

[El Fangel]

Shut the fuck up.

[Kane Knight]

1:08....trees in houses....Gardening mini-game?

[Kane Knight]

1:28. Parking meters. WILL THIS GAME HAVE PARKING FEES?

Will you get a wanted level for parking offenses?

[RiX1024]

I want it, I hope Niko Bellic or Roman makes a cameo which I highly doubt.

[Kane Knight]

0:09...The wind blows a flag. Will weather have a crucial role?

Suck it, Fan Gerl

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I didn't notice any of those things!

Then again, I did watch the trailer once, say "neat" and realised that even things you see in the trailer may not be representative of the final game and not to take much stock in it then went about my day.

Your normalcy is counterproductive and has no place here.

[Requiem]

KK acting shocked at something people have done for -every single fucking GTA trailer- because Rockstar likes to tease people with the smallest of details that might actually mean something.

[El Fangel]

As KK said, GTFO!

[Drakul]

You know what might need redone? Crashing. When you're going at top speed and plow into a wall, the front of your car should crumple up completely. As far as I remember, all that happens in IV was you'd loose your hood and maybe fly through the window. I've liked how Burnout did crashes in terms of damage, something like that but a little less like the cars are made of tin foil.

That's another thing, seatbelts. Tap Y to get in the car normally with the risk of flying out the window on impact or hold Y to get in the car and fasten your seatbelt so you don't. Have it take an extra second before you can drive off or get out the car if you're putting your seatbelt on/off.

It makes sense. Use a seatbelt and take a second more to get ready to drive off so you don't fly through the window when you crash or don't use a seatbelt and have a speedy get away with the risk of flying out the window, taking damage or getting killed. Flying out the window takes longer to recover from so it's worth taking that second to buckle up.

They did something like this with bikes in IV. If you held Y as you got on a bike, you'd put on a helmet. I don't think it did anything, though.

[Kane Knight]

Hmmm...Requiem thinks I'm acting "shocked."

He really is retarded.

Or really is reaching. Not sure which. They always say never assume malice when stupidity is possible, so I guess I'll stick to "retarded." Fanatically retarded, but still. Retarded.

GTA needs seatbelts.

[Drakul]

It sounds stupid but it makes sense.

[El Fangel]

Drak dude, you have said that three times now, we get it.

I think it would be a neat idea so you arent flying through the windshield though.

[Kane Knight]

It sounds stupid but it makes sense.

A quick get away with the risk of flying out the window in a crash, taking damage and having to get up and go back to your car or take the extra second to use the seatbelt and don't fly out when you crash so you can get on with your get away.

Can I also press a button to fasten my date's seatbelt?

Perhaps we need turn signals.

You know what would be epic? A QTE to properly adjust the mirrors.

[Kane Knight]

It would go really well with the parking meter interactions the trailer indicates.

[Requiem]

Hey look, KK blowing one of my posts out of proportion in dramatic fashion. How predictable!

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Can I also press a button to fasten my date's seatbelt?

Don't be stupid, you only control your character. A button to tell them to put their seatbelt on.

Also one to tell her you'll turn this car around and go home if she doesn't shut her mouth.

[Kane Knight]

Req, I'm sure whatever you just said confirmed either you were obsessed or stupid. Nevertheless, I'm simply going to leave it at this:

I'm well aware that speculation runs wild after every GTA announcement and many other franchises. Hell, it's happening with Zelda, which is basically the same game with mild touchups. People getting excited for the Master Sword being in the game, something anyone with pattern recognition would already know, because it was in the trailer.

80% of the fun of these threads, my mentally challenged chum, is the spaztastic speculation, or as I call it, spazulation.

I'll let you get back to reaching for digs at me, whether due to malice or your extra chromosomes.

[Kane Knight]

Don't be stupid, you only control your character. A button to tell them to put their seatbelt on.

Also one to tell her you'll turn this car around and go home if she doesn't shut her mouth.

Oh, what about a button that allows us to operate the child locks?

I want to roll down my windows, but I don't want my passengers to.

[El Fangel]

KK seems to be passing the time until a new trailer/new information bit is released by being the biggest douchenozzle in this thread.

Yes. I counted Hasney in there as well.

[Requiem]

lollllll you're such a pathetic human being KK. It's like this sort of interaction is all you have to look forward to every day when you wake up or something.

[Requiem]

It's like you just look at what you're doing to people; reaching for insults, making shit up, obsessing, and then decide to accuse them of that very thing so as to exempt yourself from it.

[Kane Knight]

KK seems to be passing the time until a new trailer/new information bit is released by being the biggest douchenozzle in this thread.

Yes. I counted Hasney in there as well.

You're only butthurt because you're a spaztastic fanatic.

You flipping out because I don't like the same games as you was enough evidence for that.

[Kane Knight]

But dont'get off topic. Child locks: Innovation or no?

[Requiem]

And then when you realize someone has a point, you predictably deflect. Every single time.

Every single time.

Every single time.

Every single time.

[El Fangel]

You're only butthurt because you're a spaztastic fanatic.

You flipping out because I don't like the same games as you was enough evidence for that.

When did this happen?

[Kane Knight]

On MSN. I think last Sunday.

Or was it Saturday?

[Kane Knight]

Don't think I'm letting you off on the child lock question.

[El Fangel]

On MSN. I think last Sunday.

Or was it Saturday?

It wasn't a spaz, it was a discussion.

Don't think I'm letting you off on the child lock question.

I h8 wen Tyrone roh down da windew n stik iz hed out lik sum foo.

[Kane Knight]

Oh God, we need drive thru in this game.

[Kane Knight]

Could you imagine that shit when you're hanging around the watercooler? You'll be like "Holy shit, man, after I took (character) bowling, I buckled her in, adjusted the mirrors, and then we got DRIVE THRU."

And they'll all be like, "no way!"

And you'll be like, "Yes way!"

[El Fangel]

on a serious note, being able to go through a drive through would be kinda cool.

[Kane Knight]

Especially in a high speed chase.

[Mr. C]

Here we go again.

Question was asked, sorry.

[Kane Knight]

Still repetitive and redundant. Like a Lara Emily news thread.

[Mr. C]

Your posts aren't?

[El Fangel]

Especially in a high speed chase.


CJ: Smoke, we aint stoppin for a numba 7, the fed are on our ass.

Smoke: You best stop or Imma bust a cap in yo ass myself.

CJ: Fo fuck sake Smoke.

*Turns right*

[D Mac]

Your posts aren't?

Oh snap! He got you KK.

[El Fangel]

KK GOT GOT!

[D Mac]

Let's hope Lazlo has his Integrity.

[El Fangel]

Thing I liked most about SA, is that even with the rap stations, there wasn't a single one I didn't like.
