Not to any level remotely comparable to CAN I HAZ HARECUTZ ten or fifteen times a day.

You black people are all alike.

It would be sort of cool that if over time your hair and facial hair does grow and you have to go get it trimmed/cut.

I think it would be awesome to have the main character look like Jesus when he does a driveby.

Deadly Premonition has that. Even leaderboards for most times shaved.

That's what's gonna be great about Saints Row 3, you can do that.

Try once a day.

FUCKI HATE THAT GAME! RAAAAAAWR!

Try once every fifteen minutes.

We are not talking about how often your mother gets boned, Zach.

Driving off without paying is a 2 star offense.

Of course not. Nobody wants to bone my mother, Sally.

KK. wtf?

I'm sorry, I'm just surprised that people are wildly speculating in a GTA thread.

Or, at least that's what a complete fucking moron would say.

***Did say.

Why do you care?

And I'm the obsessed one. KK can't go 5 minutes without taking a jab at me.

Uh oh, I exaggerated the time, better correct that before KK points out that it was actually 6 hours so that it looks like he's making a point.

I'm pretty sure no two of all my posts related to haircuts/tattoos are 15 minutes apart. Try again.

Yeah, closer to ten. I was trying to be nice. :)

Supposed leaked beta footage.

Just so we're clear...GTA:S.A. released in 2004. However...the in-game setting was 1992. Thus with GTA V being set in modern-day Los Santos and surrounding areas, there would be a 20-year difference between the game's time settings, which is why he would have aged so much.

We were talking about Niko, though.

Niko was in GTA IV, not SA.

GTA IV was a recent title, set in a modern, contemporary world.

Thus, assuming it's a "modern day" GTA, V will not take place too far away from IV, in terms of time period.

On the other hand, it's still stupid to say he couldn't have aged that much, because people who live hard lives look the part. And since GTA was "Realistic" in IV (i.e. sluggish and gritty but in no way actually realistic), they could have done the "realistic" (Sluggish and gritty) thing and made him age 90 years in a couple of real years.

Not that I actually think it's Niko. I wouldn't mind him being impoverished and on the streets, though.

Especially if he's a character I can slowly torture for being even more cardboardy than that hobo sign he's sporting.

Or as Fan Gerl would call him, "The most realistic character ever."

That's because Fan Gerl also has the personality of an Amazon.com box.

Fun on the outside, boring on the inside? :shifty:

The best part of this thread are the merged posts from both Official GTA V threads.

Of the entire trailer we are stuck with short essays debating on if the homeless guy was really Niko. I blame Hasney.

Wouldn't mind if it was, but it might make the most sense, if we're going to have multiple protagonists, to have Carl take up the majority of the story, since it's his hometown.

Dude, you're totally free to discuss the new parking meter system....

Clunk

LOL, I better be able to break meters and take their change as a way of collecting money "drops".

Approximately 1 in 3 Kane Knight posts in this thread contain bitching about GTA IV. Another 1 in 3 are jabs at people.

Just can't believe that you think what you're doing is anything other than the pointless discussion you're attempting to criticize.

Actually, credit is due. It is different. Your commentary is more like what you're accusing the discussion of being, where-as the discussion you were bitching about isn't actually that pointless and you were using hyperbole to exaggerate it.

You can in Saints Row.

Of course, they have that whole immersion-breaking "fun" thing going on....

I KNOW, RITE?!!!!!! :shifty:

That, or looks ok on the outside but has the personality of whatever is inside her?

Nah, I'm dull, come 6-8 weeks late and full of peanuts.

Big smile on his face but empty inside.

My ideal mission would be, with a group of NPCs, steal a bunch of cars, get in a huge chase/shootout with the authorities, and take them to Mexico.

Hey guys come on cant we get back to arguing?

But GTA is moving in a more mature direction.

Anyway, my ideal mission would be, with or without a group of NPCs, holding up a convenience store by threatening to shoot a woman with a candy bar, get in a huge chase/shootout with the authorities, and drive to Mexico.

Then make Two and a Half Men.

A thread detailing our protagonist leaked by a tester was posted over at GTAForums and promptly deleted by the moderators.

And yet, there's going to be sandbox play where you can unequivocaly be the bad guy.

Show us some love...Give us a black guy and let us recruit random people off of the street again....i miss those days back in san andreas.....that was my favorate thing to do..... RIP D-Vour we miss you cuz GROOOVE Street Homie

Jungle Fever?

Assuming the tweets are correct, Ned Luke voices the character in the balcony from the trailer who is also rumored to be the main character for the game.

It would also debunk any hopes or rumors of the man being Tommy Vercetti or even the possibility of him showing up in the game.

If you think that'll stop the speculation, you obviously haven't read any of this thread.

:rofl: Where do you come up with this stuff? You're on fire!

It comes from my grip on reality and pattern recognition. :)

I think "pattern recognition" sums up all of your posts.

And yet, you seem to lack it.

You've got me there.

Yet when other people recognize his pattern, he just ignores them and waits a little before resuming it. Suppose it's really just a broader pattern of inciting, ignoring, waiting and inciting again.

it's pretty cool if they use the LA noire facial acting la-di-dah, whatever it's called. i could go for that.

I'm kind of assuming that's something we'll see folded in. Motionscan is considered a pretty big deal, it seems.

According to IMDB, Niko Bellic will return in GTA V due to his voice actor showing up in the voice cast which would mean he agreed to a new deal with Rockstar to be one of the voice actors in the game.

IMDB also lists the person who voiced CJ from San Andreas as "highly possible" for GTA V.

http://www.gamezone.com/news/niko-be...actor-revealed

IMDB is still pretty accurate, too. Though it does beg the question of "does he play Niko?"

And "is he homeless and blowing dude for change?"

That should probably be marked as a spoiler. We may not know if it's true or not but, just incase it is.

IMDB is a terrible, terrible source. I've seen it used to spout absolute bollocks about casting in the past and I never trust it with things like this.

Isn't IMDB semi-open, similar to Wikipedia, where pretty much anyone (with an account) can edit most pages except mainstream stuff?

who cares

Casting choices as spoiler.

When the casting choices could be linked to story events, I'd say it's a spoiler.

I thought about putting spoilers but seeing as Rockstar tends to keep the same voice actors for their characters, it didn't seem spoiler worthy unless it actually said anything in terms of the actual story.

Right now all that is known is based on the voice actor, Niko is returning and nothing else in regards to his story or even the rumors of everyone thinking the hobo is him.

Other sources "spoil" a lot more in concerns to the guy in the suit for the actual story or involvement in the game.

Any casting choice could lead to a story event.

This entire thread is spoilers and speculation. Get over it Drakul. Once the game comes out or people actually play it, use spoiler tags on things that actually matter.

6 reasons why my wild speculation is reality.

Used to be subscribed to GM... Thinking about subscribing to EDGE now though

God, every single magazine has had "GTA V" on the cover, but inside it's that same damn useless article.

This.

Official Playstation site confirms GTA V is on the PS3.

Just hoping we get a 360 confirmation soon.

NO WAI

Well, there was no platforms at the end of the first trailer and R* never told us in any other way which platforms were getting it. A lot of people started thinking it might have been "next gen".
The confirmation of PS3 should quieten them down.

Define 'a lot of people'.

From what I saw in the video, there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to think that it is next-gen. Think this was already covered earlier in the thread, but come on. People are dumb. It being confirmed on PS3 should have automatically confirmed it as being on 360.

This kind of speculation is just dumb and lacks both common sense and foresight.

Seriously, if that's next gen, then it's the most disappointing generation of video games ever.

Yeah, they probably would have waited an indefinite period to put out a game already developed enough to show that level of footage. I mean, they're clearly developing on next gen units with yet unknown hardware needs.

Honestly, unless they were going to go Wii-U exclusive, there was never any real question.

And you'll be able to play it using a Dualshock controller!!

No way!

This game sucks.

Clocked it already

LOL. "Well I know it's confirmed for the PS3, hmm I wonder if it'll release on the XBOX 360 and on PC, too..."

Personally, I'm expecting a PS1 announcement any day now.

I don't know, there was talk prior that this might be a PS3 or PC exclusive....

I guess we need confirmation to shut them up!

Sure glad I have all 3!

Hey be nice to Drakul!

You may need all three in tandem,

I BET YOU NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT!

A rumor:

Allegedly, you also have to have a separate television for each system, but you can set them together to put the map together. Gonna look something like this:

http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...lgDI0xSGi_fPJo

Again, this is totally just a rumor...

I think everyone gets the joke at this point.

So do we have confirmation on the 360 yet?

Never mind.

Now that we've debunked that....

The only real problem will be using the Dualshock, 360 controller, K+M, and Wii-U Touchscreen all at once.

Rumour has it, GTAV will possess unprecedented immersion due to using each button to achieve different functions.

lol @ people biting into FA's comment hook line and stinker.

lol @ Reqtum thinking Fangerl has the mental faculties to mean anything other than the literal truth.

You must not be very familiar with the man's work.

lol @ you thinking you are smarter then everyone else.

It's true KK does think that.

Being smarter than you isn't hard. It's a trait shared not only by most humans, but also most mammals in general. I hear there are goldfish up for the job, too.

(To the tune of bullet with butterfly wings by the smashing pumpkins)

KK is a charecter. Sent to fla-ame, loud opinions, and general disdayiayiayn.

You'd think, with autodefect on your phone, you could at least get "character" right.

Just think it's great that KK has to keep up this act and keep slinging insults in order to hide the fact that he just got 'taken' by FA. It's just too much for his pitiful pride.

:lol:

Jesus fucking christ, really?

Hey, it's ten times better than any of the music he's written himself.
