Grand Theft Auto V



Please have big foot in the woods.

That'll clearly be an achievement! Lol.

I can't wait. May is too close. It'll slip to Q3 2012 at least.

GTA has never been about the graphics but those shots posted by Scutch just show how much better it is.

Not to ruin the dream but Americans put dates backwards anyway.

So if it was indeed supposed to be 24th May. They'd say 0524.

Might buy IV again and see if I can get into it a bit more.
Wasn't too impressed tbh.

IV was awful. San Andreas and VC were better! Im very tempted to get San Andreas and VC for my xbox 360, but they are the original xbox games, so not sure how that works.

Deffo what Revels said about the date, they won't release it then. I hate it when all the yanks put their backwards dates on invoices, eg 08/11 = 8th of Nov for us, but the 11th of Aug for them, !

You can download San Andreas from XBLA Marketplace.

There's no Achievements or anything with it and it's different to how you'll remember it too. Definitely best left in the past, although still a good game.

Rockstar announcement:

We are very proud to officially announce that Grand Theft Auto V is in full development.

Developed by series creator Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto V heads to the city of Los Santos and surrounding hills, countryside and beaches in the largest and most ambitious game Rockstar has yet created.

A bold new direction in open-world freedom, storytelling, mission-based gameplay and online multiplayer, Grand Theft Auto V focuses on the pursuit of the almighty dollar in a re-imagined, present day Southern California.

I really hope they put the FUN back into it. San Adreas replayability was incredible, even after you'd done pretty much everything a whole host of cheats were released and fun begun again!

I keep hoping I 'get' what the GTA series is all about. I jump in, laugh at the carnage for about 10mins, then my attention just goes. I'm not one for getting bored quickly either - but the meh feeling kicks in and I just move onto something else.

I've had each and every GTA since the first one too. Ironically, the top-down view of the original was probably the one I played the most.

I'm not good with the names, but for me the best one was where you could fly planes. The map was absolutely massive. However, as much as i like it, the Ballad of Gay Tony one was tiny in comparison and far too easy to complete. For such a smaller map, i expected far more interactivity with buildings.

I also fcuking hate it in the GTA games when you get a cool car and then every mug is driving it, LOL.

The Ballad of Gay Tony was only a DLC though, but yes GTA IV was small compared to San Andreas, where you could go up into the hills and fly planes etc.

You can download SA for your 360 through live for about a tenner. Its all I play.


REgarding the date. Rockstar are British, not American

I'd heard that date flying around then saw it in the trailer, forgot the about the americans... but if they're british...

I remember when San Andreas was announced and everyone was talking how huge it was going to be.

I did that around the time IV was released - was VERY disappointed! lol

Started playing VC from the beginning again; awesome game!
 
Los Santos only, this time...

Also:

Hi all, I am new to this forum and what I am writing here is not to spam/troll, etc. I work for a Playstation magazine in the UK ( I will not be disclosing any further details....) and a select few of our team have seen via video links with Rockstar in Scotland 30 minutes of in-game footage. I have not, personally, been privy to this unfortunately but I will relay to you what I have heard so far and I promise you that none of this is BS but that is down to the lot of you fans to judge. Ok, here goes:

1: The game world is absolutely massive and will push both xbox and PS3 to the very limit in terms of what it has accomplished. Yes, the main city is simply Los Santos however is it AT LEAST 4 times bigger than Liberty City in GTA 4 and that is just Los Santos. The surrounding country side, beaches, etc are massive. For instance, we saw the main character ( an African/American, early 30's) travel by car from the center of Los Santos into the wildnerness and it took over 15 minutes. The views were incredible from farmhouses with cattle, huge wind farms, an oil refinery which appeared to be living and breathing with nearly 100 NPCs working on machinery, operating vehicles, lifting and loaded, etc, unlike the gas works in GTA 4 which seemed to only house a few NPC at a time. The forests are more beautiful than those in RDR and featured people camping, young NPC drinking and dancing around campfires, people riding dirt bikes and jumping over logs, streams, etc. The water effects, forna, plants, trees all looked beautiful.

2: The shooting mechanics have been greatly improved with animations for diving, climbing, rolling and crawling all added for better realism. The re-loading animations for new ammo also look cooler, less static.

3: There is much more climbable elements in the world such as ladders, overhand climbing, etc.

4: There are animals in the game from dogs to cattle but at this time it is not confirmed if you will be able to harm the animals. Rockstar were able to get away with it in RDR as it was a true depiction of the world in which the game was set. Allowing dogs/cattle to die in a game sent in current times may cause headaches with PETA. Its unclear if Rockstar were joking here.

5: There are planes to pilot and they can be crashed into buildings if you choose to do so....

6: Rockstar have included many, many more interior locations such as a shopping mall, college campus, police station, a huge hospital and there is also a vast underground sewer network which one mission later in the game involves a jet ski chase that culminates in a Fugitive-esque waterfall jump ( there are nods to the ridiculous but awesome Ballad Of Gay Tony missions)

7: The city is full of NPCs jogging, weight-lifting, hitting on women, being chased on foot by cops, shopping, washing cars, fixing fences, moving home, filling up their cars, etc.

REAL JUICY INFO:

1: Cars can be upgraded/repaired and it has been considered to have a car have fuel forcing the player to fill her up.

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

3: Weapons include the usual arsenal you'd aspect but the flamethrowers, remote mines, laxer trip mines and claymores are included. It is possible now to pick up random objects in a street/buidling to use as a weapon. There is also a museam where it is possible to steal old age swords, axes, etc.

4: it is possible to rupture a fuel line and if you shot at the trail of gasoline it will lead straight back to the car blowing it up.

5: mini games such as bowling, darts, etc have all gone. You can play basketball, weight train, arm wrestle, gamble and cage fight, enter triatholons, water races, cannoing, ab-saling, rock climbing, base jumping, ski diving. More to be confirmed.

6: Character customisation is back but only in terms of clothing, body weight, etc. The player you start off which, much like CJ, can't be altered by race, age, height, etc.

7: Rockstar said burglary missions may return but only as part of missions and not on neigbourhood houses.

8: No children NPC at all. Ever.

9: There is now an ability to grab people and use as sheilds or in "hostage" situations.

10: The cops are much, much, much more realistic. If you kill somebody when you know there are no cops around you will not run the risk of a one star as often as you would in GTA4. The cops will use smoke and tear gas, dogs, riot gear and rams to knock down the doors of buildings you are hiding in.

11: You can enter some buildings and lock doors, push objects in the way to barricade.

12: You become better at things as the game progresses. If you only ride motorbikes then you will increase your skills, same as individual weapons.

13: Certain weapons can be customisable and some even home-made.

14: One mission involves breaking out a very familiar GTA icon from a previous game...

15: Torrential rain fall and sunshine and even tremors will appear in the game.

Hope you enjoy :)

Not sure if real or fake though tbh!

IV was Los Santos only wasn't it? That was f**king massive and this is bigger.

It's obviously just going to expand at the edges a bit. With the countryside etc.

As for them being British and it could still be May. That's awesome :D

Man I'm f**king excited for this. So glad Uni will be finished at the time of release (if that date is true)
 
Because it's not leaked but the devs themselves letting it out in the wild to gauge interest and stir rumours. Poor quality hides early low res code and/or leaves images open to more speculation & hype?

Or maybe the staff who leak all have 7 year old mobile phones to take pics with.

This. Just marketing.

Half of the rumoured new features are things we had in San Andreas, and lost in the current GTA. If the rumours are true it sounds like we're in for a treat!
