Grand Theft Auto 5

[Kane Knight]

There's been snow "real" weather systems for generations now. Get with the times, Grampa.

[Kane Knight]

Im trying to imagine San Andreas being the size of Skyrim and when I do my penis gets hard. Haven't been this stroked for a game since the last game I saw advertised.

[Fignuts]

Hilarious.

[Kane Knight]

I'm glad I can live up to your lofty standards, Fignuts.

[Mooияakeя™]

San Andreas again :)

So, may as well start the shit... Bigfoot rumours within 10 hours of release will be everywhere.

[OssMan]

You mean cumulus and stratocumulus?

God. Get a dictionary.

[Emperor Smeat]

Supposedly a lot of details meant to be released with the upcoming Game Informer issue or Rockstar themselves was leaked recently. Rockstar hasn't confirmed or denied any of the leaks so the only way to know if its true is to still wait for the Game Informer issue.

* You play as Albert DeSilva a half american half puerto rican american
* He is 42 years old and has an ex wife and 2 kids
* The show breaking bad has a little influence on the game as Albert is drawn to the life of crime from an older age for the money.
* You also play as Dougie Vejo a younger criminal just coming up in Los Santos
* Los Santos is the only large city, smaller towns round out the countrtyside
* Grove Street makes a return, however Carl and Sweet are not in the game.
* Money plays a large part as Albert lost most of his in a ponzi like scheme.
* Property buying is back
* The only customization for characters are clothes/hair/facial hair. no gyms or tattoos
* One or more characters from 4 may show up
* Car customization is back, seems more fitting for Dougie however Albert may be going through a midlife crisis.
* The triumphant return of Lovefist!!! or as the band is now known as the Jezzies.
* Songs confirmed so far: My Michelle-Guns and Roses, Magic Power- Triumph, California Dreaming- The beach boys and Beautiful-Snoop Dogg featuring Pharrell.
* New mini games include golf, tennis and surfing
* Mission played was called “Alimony” featured the scene from the trailer in which they rob the jewelry store
* Robbery returns only for Dougie, dispensaries are a large source of cash income.
* You can switch between Albert and Dougie by holding down the back button(360)
* Game autosaves at that point.
* Stinger makes a return.
* Speculated not confirmed Aziz Ansari voices radio DJ for current hip-hop station.

EDIT: Was confirmed to be a fake list by the guys at Game Informer.

[Kalyx triaD]

Changing two characters on the fly. That could lead to some interesting split decisions.

[Mooияakeя™]

"Game autosaves at that point".

Really don't believe that list based on that.

[Emperor Smeat]

Either that or something similar to the DLC packs from GTA IV where it shared a few missions with the main game but from a different perspective each time.

Three separate stories that ended crossing paths a few times within the overall main storyline.

[ClockShot]

Really tempted to go pre-order this. But I don't wanna fall into the trap that was Grand Theft Auto 4. Gonna need more details or a demo to convince me otherwise.

[Kalyx triaD]

GTA4 was great.

[CSL]

lol yeah, what

"don't want to fall into the trap of a sequel to a fantastic game that is all but guaranteed to be even more fantastic"

[CSL]

new trailer will be released Wednesday 14th

[El Fangel]

Jeez, I just remembered I had to get my dad to pick up GTA4 for me since I was in Montreal. That seems ages ago now, 4.5 years I think.

[Mooияakeя™]

I'll buy it, dunno if I'll pre-order depends on what they offer. If they want early sales, or even to smash records, then they need to tempt everyone! lol.

GTA4, I just couldn't get into the character enough. Great game, but Nothing on the storyline / character as Vice City / San Andreas.

I thought Niko and the story was a bit lacking in comparison but after playing through a second time I got a deeper appreciation of it.

[Fignuts]

Never even got halfway through San Andreas, because CJ and most of the characters were just boring to me.

Cast of GTA IV is much more endearing, and fun to play with, imo.

[Mooияakeя™]

I'm not a west coast rapper at all, or even into that scene, but it's the whole package of SA that I liked. The characters are good, didn't expect some twists either. The music, setting.. area and date. They all seemed more believable. I just can't care for Niko and those cronies of his. I never did play any DLC's btw.

Also, side note, the Red Dead Redemption storyline I really got into, so dunno if it's just me or not or that shows some influence in anything.

"Now Marston, go do something for me."
"Okay, but if you dick me around again, I'll kill you."
"No you won't, I'm an important NPC who hands out fetch quests."

I am the ying to your yang on this one.

[CSL]

you're both gaylords, I :heart: both IV and San Andreas

[alvarado52]

GTA 4 was the only one that ever really pulled me in enough to complete the game.

[Fignuts]

Yep. Never finished III or Vice City either.

Had plenty of fun just screwing around in the PS2 titles, but IV was the only one that made me care about the story.

[Mooияakeя™]

I finished Vice City twice and Vice City Stories.

[Kalyx triaD]

- According to Rockstar, Grand Theft Auto V's Los Santos is bigger than Red Dead Redemption, San Andreas, and Grand Theft Auto IV combined. Yep. There's wilderness, a military base, and even an ocean floor to explore underwater.
- You can switch between the game's three main protagonists at "nearly any time."
- Those three protagonists, by the way, are named Michael, Trevor, and Franklin. Michael is a retired bank robber who gets sucked back into crime; Trevor is a career criminal and drug addict; Franklin is a 20-something street hustler.
- Sometimes they'll work together on missions, during which you can switch back and forth from character to character depending on which part of a given mission you feel like doing.
- Each character has his own personality, skill set, and group of friends to interact with. And the ones you're not controlling will go off and do their own thing.
- This is the same world as Grand Theft Auto IV and Liberty City, so you might see some recurring characters from those games (just not the major ones, like Niko Bellic). But. Rockstar says this is the "high-definition" world of Grand Theft Auto, so don't expect to see anyone from the PS2-era titles.
- Remember those randomized dynamic missions in Red Dead Redemption? They're back for GTAV: expect hitchhikers, muggers, and dead bodies, among others.
- Yes friendships. No romance.
- Rockstar says there will be an economy, but you won't be able to buy properties. There will be "loads of other stuff."

[Fignuts]

Hot shit.

[Kalyx triaD]

Niggers, amirite?

[Drakul]

More detailed info from the article.

General Information:

-There are 3 playable main characters. Their names are Trevor, Franklin and Michael.

-You can switch between them at any point when not on a mission. When you switch, the camera zooms out into the sky and then back down to the character you switched to.

-You can switch to another playable character during missions where they work together. This happens instantly.

-Each one has its own personality, motivations and skillset. When you're not controlling them, their lifes continue and you may be surprised to see what situations they find themselves in when you switch back.

-Each character has his own story arc.

-Of the main storyline missions, there'll be several complex missions focussed on heists in style of "Three Leaf Clover" from GTAIV.

-Some characters from GTAIV will make an appearance in V. Niko won't be one of them.

-During research, Rockstar took over a quarter million photos this time!

-Census information and vehicle sales data were used as a guide to depict the game world.

-Big advances in the game's lighting model with vast increases and advances in draw distance and levels of detail.

Features:
-You can flip off other characters in the game, and see interesting results dependent on who you're flipping off.

-Vehicle physics have been updated. "The cars hold to the ground a bit better". It now feels more like a racing game, compared to GTA IV where they felt "big and boatlike".

-After a hiatus in GTAIV, Ammu-Nation is back!

-A lot of new side activities, including yoga, jet sking, base-jumping, tennis and golfing on a full golf course!

-Rockstar felt that dating wouldn't fit in this game and have stripped this feature.

-Bowling, Strip Clubs, Live comedy, Internet cafes and in-game TV make a return.

-Mobile phone will return, but friends won't be calling as often as they did in GTAIV. It will be more streamlined and used for things like emails and Internet browsing.

-Random character encounters throughout the map, much akin to those in GTAIV - but this time there's a greater variety and they're fully motion captured.

-Dynamic missions, similar to Red Dead's "Random World Events" make a return. Examples include characters with broken down cars, a hitch hiker, or two parked cars with dead bodies around them - which you can investigate to initiate dynamic missions.

-Dynamic "state machines" were coded in the game, allowing non-playable characters to go about their daily lifes. For example, you may see gardeners and cleaners waiting at the bus stop in the morning, and then find them tending the gardens and houses in the game's fictional Beverly Hills later on in the day.

Locations:

-GTAV's game world is bigger than the worlds of Red Dead Redemption, San Andreas and GTA IV combined!

-Fully explorable Mount Chiliad

-A military base

-Salton Sea region

-Wine country

-Wilderness

-Fully explorable ocean floor along the coastline

Vehicles:

Most vehicles in a GTA game to date, including - but not limited to:
BMX
Mountain Bikes
Road Bikes
Dirt bikes
Planes
Variety of cars and trucks
Helicopters
ATVs
Jet Skis

See. Now THAT is what you get when you pour money into the games industry. A legacy. It looks and sounds amazing. R* have taken gaming to a high fucking level for years.

Just hope I enjoy it... really enjoy it. I think I may skip Fifa 14 next year, this and any BF that is out will be my titles.

[Nicky Fives]

HOLY FUCK AM I PUMPED RIGHT NOW!!!!!

[Xero]

"-GTAV's game world is bigger than the worlds of Red Dead Redemption, San Andreas and GTA IV combined!"

Dear God...

[Crimson]

Yea I see myself being a hermit once again with this game as I was with 4. Hope I have a week vacation left

[CSL]

"psyched"

I mean I'd have bought this day 1 without any info but yah

[Mooияakeя™]

ON a side note, car does look like an R8 so much ,suprised they aint getting sued. lol.

Hope GTA's never get licences in a way. I like their cars, but for some I guess it's the icing on the cake. And more £££ shelled out, but If this profitorises... maybe... maybe.

[cardsharkrob]

I can't wait for this game. Already went and preordered the game at Best Buy last night

[Fignuts]

I would totally suck this games dick

[Kalyx triaD]

I honestly believe R* can sell details they're so hype.

[Kane Knight]

Can't wait to try yoga.

[Tommy Gunn]

Ocean floor? Hope submarines are in. :y:

[El Fangel]

Yep. Never finished III or Vice City either.

Had plenty of fun just screwing around in the PS2 titles, but IV was the only one that made me care about the story.

I finished VC a few times, played III after so I found it sort of meh. San Andreas I have completed well over two dozen times and had a perfect file as well.

I finished Vice City twice and Vice City Stories.

Play SA.

"-GTAV's game world is bigger than the worlds of Red Dead Redemption, San Andreas and GTA IV combined!"

Dear God...

Will Fangel buy this?

"All signs point to yes"

I can't wait for this game. Already went and preordered the game at Best Buy last night

Will be doing this next pay.

Edit:
We also notice the musical score ramping up the tension - a first for the GTA series

So, RDR style set up? Sounds good.

Things like this enhanced the fun of things like bounties and especially raiding hideouts with a posse in freeroam. Hopefully GTA V can do something similar.

[Mooияakeя™]

Play SA.

OFC I did already.

[cardsharkrob]

Fallen Angel, I recommend Best Buy as it does the 20 dollars back in the reward zone certificate

[Emperor Smeat]

Rockstar says GTA V won't have any celebrity voice actors mostly for a few reasons.

Besides costs, they don't think they can bring in enough celebrities willing to lend their voice for the game. The other reason was this time they want the entire player focus and hype being about the game itself and not because of the voice actors.

http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/rockstar-celebrities-in-grand-theft-auto-v-would-become-a-distraction/

[Fignuts]

Good call.

[Drakul]

Some site called Click compiled all the info we know. I weeded out the stuff we already knew.


•GTA 5 "evolves nearly every mechanic" found in previous games in the series.

•Each character has their own specific abilities and story arc, with all three stories intertwined.

•No major actors cast as any of the main characters.

•Focus on making more diverse missions.

•Heists and bank robberies are a big theme to the game.

•Characters will work together during missions, and you can switch between characters mid-mission to fulfil different roles. For example, during a chase sequence you can pilot the getaway helicopter as Trevor, snipe pursuing pilots as Franklin, or fire an assault rifle as Michael.

•Missions will have a "very different tone depending on who's on them, how many people are on them, and how much we're using switches", says Houser.

•More vehicles than in any GTA to date.

•Improved shooting and melee combat. Melee combat "never going to be as big a deal as shooting," though, warns Houser.

•Pedestrians are fully mo-capped and more interactive.

•You can rappel down buildings, although it's not confirmed whether this is specific to certain missions.

•Los Santos is described as a "huge and diverse city", combining the best of Red Dead Redemption's "large open expanses" with GTA IV's "densely packed urban environment".

•GTA: San Andreas was about gang culture. GTA 5 is about capturing the "contemporary culture of LA".

•There will be a "vibrant and fun" economy, but you won't be able to buy property.

•Each character will have unique hobbies, including "one or two key minigame activities per character".

•San Andreas' RPG-like player customization is still absent, but you can customize the clothing of each character.

•GTA IV's romance feature has been removed.

•Like in GTA IV, players can make friends and hang out with certain NPCs, including Michael's wife Amanda and son Jimmy, Franklin's "crazy friend" Lamar, and Trevor's mate Ron.

•GTA IV's mobile phone returns, but a lot of its features have been altered. You can use it to access the internet.

•Dynamic missions - hidden missions dotted around the game world. "Going off-road in the desert, you may come across two parked cars and a sea of dead bodies around them... Investigate if you want."

[Kane Knight]

If the gameplay's improved, I think I'll love this game.

More new info, collected from various new previews from various magazine/sites.


-Underwater world (with underwater caves) and diving equipment confirmed.

-Side-missions similar to Taxi, Ambulance and Vigilante will be back but "probably not identical to the ones in previous GTAs" because they wouldn't fit in with the 3 main character personalities, but the "three will have odd jobs to do".

-Trevor will be the skilled helicopter pilot, Franklin the skilled driver and sniper, Michael the "smooth operator", skilled and versatile.

-Franklin is looking for a mentor and he finds one in Mike after they meet during one of Franklin's repo man jobs.

-Trevor is inspired by the typical GTA player that only roams around the game creating havoc, death and destruction.

-Mission types will vary among "big and small events , explosive, infiltration, super spectacular, family, invasion, hostage recovery, heists and robberies. Plus classic GTA missions but updated and improved."

-Cover mechanics have been greatly improved and cover will be very important in the gameplay.

-About the economy, Dan Houser says: "You will be able to spend money to buy interesting and fun things like expensive toys. We are still working on the economy but it will be a strong element in the game and players will be eager to make money to spend money. Something along the lines of "I went through all of this to make all this money and now I'm going to spend it on this crazy item."

-Dynamic music during missions (similar to games like L.A. Noire)

-No co-op for single player missions, but co-op modes will be featured in multiplayer.

-Big focuss on multiplayer with a lot of content to keep players busy.

-The song Radar Love was heard playing on the in-game radio.

Edit: More info.


-Alamo Sea is the name of the Salton Sea like area.

-Radial menu to select the 3 protagonists.

-Switching in missions partially scripted - meaning, at times character switching will happen automatically.

-In final part of a mission in the demo, the player can decide which character to use.

-There are multiple different endings in the storyline which depend on the choices you made throughout the game.

-The storyline takes around 25 hours to complete.

-Map open from beginning, with the exception of some protected areas.

-A certain amount of money will be needed to gain access to some missions.

[Drakul]

More previews/news/screenshots to come. IGN giving their own preview at noon US Eastern time. Other previews through the week with the second trailer on Wednesday.

Edit: Quote from The Guardian (UK newspaper) sites preview.

There are farmlands, deserts, villages, mountains; there is even a functioning ecosystem teeming with wildlife.

Also, the streets have mimes etc along with one guy dressed as Jesus. Betting there will be some kind of achievement or something if we do a cetain thing to "Jesus".

[Mooияakeя™]

Radar love sounds like the Nascar '98 Soundtrack on the PSX... yeah - we got that game here in the UK.

[El Fangel]

Multiple endings? Even more reply value. Rockstar knows how to win my heart.

[CSL]

I'd guess it means multiple endings in the same vein GTA IV had multiple endings

[El Fangel]

Id say there would be minimum of three, having one with each Protagonist. Then possibly between two and three each depending on your choices. with each. Im leaning on six as it would make sense if the final mission involved a choice of killing someone or not.

[Drakul]

There is one big story detail that could, and probably should, be considered a spoiler.

Dan Houser said we will play both the protagonist and the antagonist in GTA V.
Most are thinking this could mean Trevor turning on us and still being playable.

[Big Vic]

Or he does 2 voices

[El Fangel]

So pumped for this. More then I was for San Andreas and I played that around 80 hours the first week.

I was almost getting upset with the screenshots thinking if it keeps up there won't be anything we haven't already seen.

Then I remembered this game is staggering in size.

[Drakul]

staggering in size.

I'd say.

Then GTA4 hit.

Now this is about to hit.

Fuck, I feel like I should put myself in a coma for ten years and see what they're doing with the series.

I see about 25 hours for this game to be honest.

I generally am not a graphics whore...but goddamn this game looks absolutely incredible.

Love the dialogue and general tone too.

I wonder if the game will indeed look that good. Sometimes screenshots from what I remember are much higher quality then what you get.

Still incredible how it looks though.

GTA4 beat the shit out of every other game that season. And Red Dead did it again. I don't think there will be a problem.

It will. On PC set to max.

I'm just hoping they actually optimise it on PC this time. GTA4 is still difficult to max out even on top end systems of today.

Obvious areas to skimp to save cash would be storage, either less mechanical storage or removing the SSD completely and the blu-ray writer.

This should run BF3 on Ultra fairly comfortably.

Haven't included a monitor/keyboard/mouse/speakers assuming you'd bring them from an old PC, but if you want a new gaming mouse and keyboard, my recommendations would be:

Best - Mouse: Roccat Kone[+] Keyboard: Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2013 Elite (SUPER ULTRA HD REMIX... That fucking title)

Awesome Budget - Mouse: Logitech G500 Keyboard: Microsoft Sidewinder X4

[Fignuts]

I will save this for my records.

[Fignuts]

Not terribly confident in my ability to put that all together once the parts arrive. Unless it's just sliding stuff in, and there aren't many wires to connect.

Also, the CPU is store pick up only. Though it's not too bad of a price hike to get it delivered. Relitavely anyway.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

It is ridiculously easy to build a PC. This was my first:

Didn't you bitch about that when Saints Row did it?

[Drakul]

The interesting bits of an interview (http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/11/13/grand-theft-auto-vs-unseen-mastermind) IGN did with Leslie Benzies, the producer of GTA.

We do have a bunch of missions in GTA V that are far more freeform than anything we have done before. We tell you to go get something and the player decides how to do it - what characters they need on the job and what tools they need for those characters.

Animals aren't just a backdrop - you can expect to see dogs guarding areas and causing the player trouble when they try to sneak past them.

the player wants to get their hands on one of the more 'high end' vehicles early in the game they'll have to work for it. For instance, airport security won't let you just wander in and steal a jet, they'll give you some serious opposition.

Weapons are slightly different since we have to find a balance between giving the player freedom and giving them a challenge. Letting players have any weapon they want, whenever they want it, would make earlier missions less of a challenge and less satisfying. That being said, as the player makes progress through the game they will build up a satisfying arsenal.

Refining open world multiplayer into something really special has been a huge focus of development and we are very excited to share more information with people soon.

[Kane Knight]

I really hope the freeform mission style works.

Also, I like the idea of having to work to get things like a jet.

[Crimson]

More interested in multiplayer..that last tidbit is great news

[El Fangel]

But no Las Venturas or San Fierro?! :mad::'(:n::n::n:

Quit your fucking whining, FAngel.

[Mooияakeя™]

Don't care for Multiplayer, I just want the same thought out world they have before. Down to branding the cups "Burger Shot".

[Purgatory]

I'm waiting to see how big the map is.

[Drakul]

I'm waiting to see how big the map is.

It's bigger than the maps for GTA IV, RDR & San Andreas combined. I think that comparison came straight from R* in an interview or article somewhere.

So you can compare it to those 3 maps combined and still have space left over.

[Kalyx triaD]

Even if that's BS, it just looks damn huge. I want multiplayer details.

[Kane Knight]

Of course, it's not like a company would ever lie about the size of their map.

Still, looks pretty fucking big.

[Emperor Smeat]

Wasn't most of the RDR and parts of the SA map just empty wilderness or padding unlike with GTA IV where it was smaller than RDR's but more active?

[El Fangel]

Wasn't most of the RDR and parts of the SA map just empty wilderness or padding unlike with GTA IV where it was smaller than RDR's but more active?

Well you have to give RDR a bye, since yinno it was based on western expansion. As for San Andreas, I agree but it also added to the realism of the state in that it wasn't just one vast city unlike GTAIV which at times I felt confined to. In San Andreas, each city had a distinct style and feel and was separated by small suburban and rural areas.

Never got why people found it detrimental to the game.

[Mooияakeя™]

The wilderness in SA was full of ghosts, Undertaker men talking ghoulish tings and Bigfootz.

PC & Wii U versions are "under consideration".

Well fuck. The trailer probably is still running on PC, just like that MGS demo using the FOX engine Kojima showed off. Yet not actually on PC.

If it's a staggered release, I doubt I could wait unlike with something like AC3.

[Emperor Smeat]

If its anything like past GTA games, the PC and Wii U version would show up around 6 months later or around this time next year.

[Tommy Gunn]

I was just ripping a CD to my Xbox 360 HDD and it made me wonder whether we'll be able to have custom radio stations in GTA V? As far as I know you can do it on PC versions of the older games but I'm not sure if they ever had that option on a console before.

[Kane Knight]

MP3 player option would be awesome if you could have one for each of the three dudes.

[Nicky Fives]

I'd like to see standard and automatic cars.... some missions are default and some you get the choice (i.e. two cars to get into at beginning of mission)..... Some cars in the game may be only automatic or standard, whereas some could be both.....

[El Fangel]

That sounds like a good idea until you realize that reloading an Uzi while driving a stick may be a bit of an issue.

[drave]

Don't reload, pick up the other uzi. Throw the empty one out the window with a frag taped to it for a real-life Tediore SMG (From BL2)

[El Fangel]

Makes Christmas so simple when people tell you what they would like to have.

Krispy

[Mooияakeя™]

Agree totally. What's the point in having something you didn't want or you brought 2 weeks earlier because you did want it. As a child, it's great for presents, but past 18/20, I hate suprises!

[El Fangel]

I don't mind if its something they found out I wanted or knew I would like since they cared enough to look around.

Wife gave me a list as well, 90% I had planned to get anyways.

[Kalyx triaD]

Rockstar would eventually like to create one Grand Theft Auto game with all previous cities from the series. In an interview with Digital Trends, Rockstar North head Leslie Benzies said he envisions players being able to travel back and forth to revisit places they explored in past games.

“Of course at some point we would like to have one big world containing all our cities and let the player fly between them and revisit their favorite areas,” Benzies said. “In that context re-imagining Vice City would be very interesting.”

On the subject of Vice City returning as a future setting, Benzies said “it is always a possibility. There are a few references to the city in our current-gen GTAs so it is part of that HD universe, and it is certainly somewhere we would love to revisit. However Vice City, perhaps more than any other GTA game, was as much about the era as the setting. Miami in the 1980’s is so iconic it would feel strange to revisit the city in a different time period.”

[Drakul]

Submarine/Diving Bell in MP would be fun. Guy is underwater, you snipe through the glass from the shore and he's screwed.

[Kalyx triaD]

I'd just enjoy scuba diving with you guys and exploring the depths.

[Drakul]

Until someone attracts a shark and gets us all eviscerated. I can already picture the scene of everyone swimming for their lives in different directions while one guy gets attacked.

[Kalyx triaD]

Therein lies the fun.

[Drakul]

I'm sorry in advance for accidently leading that school of sharks towards us.

Actually, it would be cool if you could hurt someone in or under water and the blood would then attract sharks.
In reality, it would just raise the chances of a shark spawning nearby.

[El Fangel]

I somehow see that being used in the story somewhere.

[Kalyx triaD]

Now I need confirmation on spear guns.

[SNLfunnyguy]

Any word on whether this is coming out on Wii U or not yet? My Xbox live sub ends next month, ideally I don't want to renew again, might as well take this oppertunity to get the Wii U, but I really want this game.

[Kalyx triaD]

This is not coming out for WiiU.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

lol WiU...

They will get a version called Peddy Theft Bicycle.

[SNLfunnyguy]

Looks like I'll have to get another Live membership then. :-(

[Emperor Smeat]

It hasn't been completely ruled out for the Wii U but considering GTA's release history, probably wouldn't show up until 6 months or so after the PS3 and Xbox 360 version.

Same if you wanted it on PC since it hasn't been announced for it either yet.

[Kalyx triaD]

It hasn't been completely ruled out for Dreamcast either. Just saying.

I still think this will end up being a "next gen" game. MS will reveal the next Xbox in April (they're supposed to be having a Sony style conference, if I recall) and then R* will reveal that GTA V is actually headed to PS4 and Xbox3.

could be both like Twlight Princess

Still going to buy both versions if so, not ready to upgrade my system just yet. Can't wait for this game to come out

[drave]

Gonna be sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good. LOVE the pic of the mini-gun, just hope it can actually be obtained and used :D

[Drakul]

I'm sure it can be used. I don't recall R* using something in a screenshot that you couldn't actually use in their game.

Also, did anyone notices the CCTV camera to the left of the telephone pole in the last screenshot? Maybe places will have actual security systems?
This might mean cops don't magically know you killed someone and magically know where you are. So maybe a witness needs to inform them or CCTV has to catch it. Though, I admit, I may be reading too much into it.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

There was supposed to be something in GTAIV about witnesses using their cell phones to call in rampages you go on. It was in the Microsoft Retail Rewards class. Didn't really notice it during the game.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I still think this will end up being a "next gen" game. MS will reveal the next Xbox in April (they're supposed to be having a Sony style conference, if I recall) and then R* will reveal that GTA V is actually headed to PS4 and Xbox3.

I hope not. It should be like what San Andreas was for Ps2/XBOX: a good-bye game for the consoles.

[Drakul]

RDR had witnesses who had to run to the sheriff before you got a wanted level.
I did see people using cell phones to call cops once or twice in IV but you still got a wanted level, even if they didn't.

[Drakul]

I hope not. It should be like what San Andreas was for Ps2/XBOX: a good-bye game for the consoles.

V has never had it's consoles formally announced, has it? The trailers never had any shown at the end.
The game was due out in the early part of this year but has been held back until later, when we'll like see the new consoles arrive. I'm sure other big titles have been moved to September too.
Plus it just looks so ambitious for current consoles. I think it was intended to be current gen but they got told about the next consoles and shifted it to them.

[Kalyx triaD]

I don't see anything in GTAV that's beyond PS3 and XB360. It looks amazing, yes, but not 'welcome to the fucking future' amazing. Everything I've seen of the game is well within the current gen's scope.

[Extreme Angle]

Mmmm I think they'll do a next gen version. It'll be able to play fine on a PS3 or 360. But after looking at the difference between playing PC games on Ultra and then seeing 360 versions. It's ridiculous.

[Heisenberg]

RDR had witnesses who had to run to the sheriff before you got a wanted level.
I did see people using cell phones to call cops once or twice in IV but you still got a wanted level, even if they didn't.

Had a love/hate relationship with those witnesses. Loved to chase them down, but some of them beat me to the chase.

[Drakul]

I really liked that mechanic. I'd take it over GTAs "All Seeing Eye" cops anyday.

[El Fangel]

This confirmed on PC?

[Kalyx triaD]

No.

[El Fangel]

360?

[Emperor Smeat]

Only PS3 and Xbox 360 been confirmed so far.

Every other platform is either just rumored guesses (ex. possible reason for the delay) or Rockstar saying they might consider it (ex. PC and/or Wii U specifically).

[Kalyx triaD]

Likely.

[Savio]

What about the N64?

[Drakul]

It would require the memory expansion pack.

[El Fangel]

So it hasn't been comfirmed on any system yet, strange since I preordered my copy on 360...

First I've heard of Blaine County.

[Savio]

I hope the country side isn't as big as it was last time.

[Drakul]

I think it'll be bigger. They keep saying it's their biggest map yet and that Los Santos is the only main city. So, in between any smaller towns, they will have countryside.
On the plus side, with animals and, hopefully, RDR style encounters, it shouldn't be boring.

[Savio]

Yeah I would like to see the country side between the cities instead of off to the left where you wouldn't really go unless you had too.

[El Fangel]

:drool:

[El Fangel]

Goddamn I am going to play the ever loving fuck out of this game.

[Drakul]

I'm sure there was a screenshot or a scene in a trailer that showed you the view from a plane or something and all you can see for miles and miles is desert. Not a single building or sign of civilization.

There is also a shot, somewhere, of the city and you can see far into the distance, a large bridge and then what looks to be more of the city in the far distance.
So I think it's a safe bet that, when they say big, they mean BIG.

THis is only a good thing if there are things to do in both the city and the countryside. A single BMX race through the countryside wouldn't count.

I have to disagree, what I loved about San Andreas was the areas in between you could just have a nice drive through which were less busy. The races through these areas were simple as well since you didn't have to deal with ridiculous traffic. You could easily bypass them with aircraft as well.

[Savio]

Yeah I just don't like the country side that was to the far left which you would not really ever want to go to unless you had to.

:yes:

[JimmyMess]

if there is a desert... anyone else think they may throw in similar landscapes to Red Dead Redemption? Sort of show the development of the area through time? Maybe a few easter eggs?

[Drakul]

It depends how big the desert area is. There IS desert because we've seen it in screens/trailers but, so far, it's just been sand as far as you can see.

Easter Eggs are likely, I'd say. If they can find a way to put a RDR easter egg into LA Noire, I'm sure they can find a way of squeezing one into GTA V.

One of my best memories of San Andreas is going out to the airport boneyard and doing the pilot training missions. Good times. :)

GTA: Sahara. Coming 2017

[Emperor Smeat]

Rockstar has announced that three new trailers will be released for Grand Theft Auto V next week featuring each of the game’s main protagonists.

Trailers featuring Michael, Franklin, and Trevor will be released on April 30, according to the developer. So mark your diaries and prepare for not one, but three new trailers!

I remember seeing the ads on TV for San Andreas a few years after I got satellite TV in my youth. It would play I think during Monday Night Raw and I anticipated the hell out of it. I had to wait til the following Christmas since a PS2 and a few games was a large gift. Got it and I spent probably a good 15 hours exploring just Los Santos.

I am frightened how much time I am going to spend just looking around before I actually start playing the game.

Wonder how many stars it will be for flying out of bounds soon as possible to explore lol.

[Cool King]

Beat me to it.

I was just coming to post that. :y:

[Savio]

Youtube is blocked what is the video?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

3 new character-specific trailers.

[Drakul]

Seems pretty obvious to me that Franklin is a member of some Grove Street type gang. A bunch of guys in green gunning down guys in purple. Even Franklins dog now has a green collar.

[Savio]

Maybe he's Irish

[Savio]

Really hope Trevor dies.

[Fignuts]

Trevor is awesome.

[Drakul]

Michael is the guy I'm most looking forward to playing as.
