GTA V - Discussion

Screenshots released today - Keen?

Looks like a game to get for sure! Have always loved the GTA's

Release date?

Release date TBA everywhere but noises of October/November.

Some places say 2013

Will be getting this game fo shizzle. Mostly for the online shenanigans!

Definitely keen, absolutely loved the fourth one. I personally am going to predict a release of November this year, if not then I predict March 2013.

March/April is Rockstar's usual release time, wouldn't get my hopes up for a release before then.
Oh yeah, KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN

Keen +++

Earlier in the year for their Crack the Code promotion Xbox Australia removed gta V (among others) from the list of games the winner would receive up to and including January next year as it would not be released in time.

there was a release date but then it got pulled i think because the r18 ruling came out so i recon they will wait for that then release it i have got it on pre order cant wait

Rockstars Social

the new gta will have crews.. similar to red dead .. as they have mentioned .. but who knows..

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.
Some missions will only have one of the main characters, whereas in other missions it may be two or all three together.
Each one has its own personality, motivations and skillset. When you're not controlling them, their lives 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.
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 "Unique 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

this is what i like the most..

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


should be one monster of a map..

Spiegel.deInformation:


*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 issues, 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 focus on multiplayer with a lot of content to keep players busy.
*The song Radar Love was heard playing on the in-game radio.
*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.
*There is a functioning ecosystem teeming with wildlife.
*Additionally, Rockstar confirmed that Trailer #2 for GTAV will be hitting the web this *Wednesday at 11am EST / 4pm GMT. Check out the countdown on their site.

Always a fan. Always will be. Not so interested in the online apart from the GTA races which I couldn't get enough of. Nothing better than timing those nade drops just right. Awesome.
