Rockstar announce today that a trailer will be released on Nov 2. I hope its a solid video and not some bullshit 30 second teaser. Think it's possible to have a release in time for the holidays?
-
I would love a Holiday release. Don't think it will happen though.

I remember San Andreas had MONTHS until release after showing their first pics/vids. I don't remember the IV release that clearly.
-
All were good, but I think my favorite was Vice City. I don't know...maybe 4..or maybe 3 or San Andreas. :lol
-
I'm interested in the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 version of GTA 3. That could be good.
I still love 3 though. I got that back when I was 6. I have very fond memories of that game. I can pretty much recite every line of Chatterbox
Also GTA IV was announced in June 2006. So we could be a ways off from V.
The money design for the V is pretty interesting. Vice City, Las Vegas style setting, or DC?

Chino, you stole my thunder, goddammit. I already posted a link in the video game thread.
:(

Yeah i saw this earlier. Major turboboner to the super-maxtreme

Your parents are....... Awesome?
-
I really hope its set in Vice City. That was my favorite of the games.
-
A Vice City as well done as GTAIV's Liberty City would be amazing.
-
Your parents are....... Awesome?
I've always thought so. My first game I got at age 5 was Red Faction on PS2. I don't think they understood the ratings system. Also, I go and see movies liked Knocked Up, Superbad, Harold and Kumar, and other R-rated, raunchy comedies with my parents not because I have to, but rather that they love these kinds of movies with humor like that. I've also been saying fuck in front of them since I was 15 with no penalty.
Jack Thompson would hate them, but I love them
-
Lucky bastard. My dad didn't let me play Goldeneye for n64 until I was like 11 because *some religious thing*. Luckily my parents got divorced by the time GTA III came out for xbox and I played that shit everyday
-
How is it on the Xbox? The controls would kind of mess me up since I'm used to PS2 controls. But the graphics look great on Xbox. Although, to this day, I still think GTA 3 has excellent graphics that I would pit against some 2003-2005 titles
-
I remember the graphics being better, as far as fire effects and stuff, but I think traded it in to a gamestop around 2005 or 06 so it's been a while. I think the controls could be setup a bit so they'd be similar to the ps2 version though.
I do remember that for Vice City the car's engines resembled actual engines (xbox), instead of just a bunch of gray pixels (ps2)
-
I very much doubt a holiday release if the first trailer is only coming out soon. Ive played every single GTA, yes including the 1st and 2nd, and while Vice City had the coolest story and setting, San Andreas had the biggest map and most extras, 4 was however the best with good storyline, amazing graphics, and an amazing nyc to screw around in... and add in the ballad of gay tony and I cant say anything else. Im very excited for another GTA.
-
I haven't played any GTA's other than 3 and Vice City, of those I preferred 3.
But I think this might be the next GTA I get if it turns out good.
-
ROITINGS (Of the games I've Played):
1. Vice City (All-Time Favorite)
2. IV
3. III
4. San Andreas (Didn't really Like it)
-
I hope they do something fresh this time. Refined mechanics would also be nice.

Seriously. X/A is such awkward placement for a run button, especially when jump is square/X.

I want a first person view....

Yay for PC mods.

Really? I didn't know it has been modded to that extreme. I basically want COD modern warfare but in a heavily populated city.
-
GTA 5 would be so awesome.
Big fan of the GTA-games, I especially loved GTA 4 because I think it felt more realistic, but New York was just portrayed in an awesome way.
The good thing was the same as the negative, it was just one city.
While the city was awesome, there are so many cities I would love to see in a GTA-game.
For example: Los Angeles, San Fransisco and Las Vegas, yeah I do know that they are all in San Andreas (my favorite apart from GTA 4), but what I mean is that I would love to see them, with a newer graphic-engine, slightly bigger and more "realistic", for what it's worth.
Apart from those, Miami and Chicago might work really nice.
And I don't even think it has to be an American city (even though that will probably always be the case), but big international cities like London or Paris might be cool.
-
London would be outstanding, but my money is on Vegas/Venturas for this game.
-
I still haven't played GTA IV for PC as it's a complete mess

I would love it if Chicago was the city, and with that kind of spread you could include Detroit or Indianapolis almost. If it was to be a non american city I'd have to go with Helsinki Finland :hat
-
Can't wait for this, but I hope they reinject some of the fun/silliness of previous games that was missing from GTA4.
-
I'd be nice to get some seasons, even though that probably won't happen. Hell I'd probably just walk around at night while it's snowing pretending I'm Max Payne anyways
-
I'm really hoping for a larger diversity of vehicles with even more visual damage. Don't get me wrong, IV did a great job, but there was a lot of room for improvement. I'd also like to see a lot more gore. When I hit a pedestrian at 100mph, I'd like to see the explode (or at least get mangled) on impact. Speaking of mph.... I'd like to see a speedometer feature upon entering any vehicle, I'd find it to be very helpful.
I think a true online play would be awesome in GTA. Set it up like Playstation Home, but make it way more fun and full of blood.
-
As sadistic as it sounds, I agree with Chino. When I hit a pedestrian, I want to see some more... uh... red and stuff. IV was a good start. I mean when you hit a pedestrian in IV, the car would dent and there would be blood, but the ped would look just fine. Maybe a little bit more in that department
-
I'd bet on a holiday release for 2012. They're probably still easily a year off. Part of it depends on whether or not it's built from scratch or reuses lots of tech from IV.
Also, when R* registered domain names for the fake businesses last year, the consensus seemed to be that they had a distinctly English tone. That lead to a lot of speculation about moving the game back to London.
-
I also am really hoping it's set in Vice City. I remember saying that to myself after I finished GTA IV. I remember how much smaller and easier it was to navigate.

I thougth IV was the perfect map size. San Andreas was far too big. I don't know if it will be in Vice City, although I'd love another installment where I can listen to 80's ballads all day while playing. GTA III was in Liberty City, and the following GTAs that didn't have a roman numeral weren't. GTA IV was in Liberty City. This one having a V is confusing. I highly doubt that well will be back in Liberty City, which makes me wonder why they didn't follow the trend and calle it GTA something something.
Unless III was ground breaking and the following titles were just built off that same platform. IV was an entirely new platform. Maybe with V they aren't just going to modify IV. Perhaps they have built this one new from the ground up. I hope this is the case. I'd like to see a better physics engine and a total overhaul on the car performance.

Sounds a lot like my parents, my dad was there to buy me the GTA Vice City and 3 box set when I was 12 I think. My dad's probably worse for swearing than me to be honest! :P
-
The trailer is up.
edit: It's set in San Andreas. (Or just Los Santos..?)

Outstanding! I hope it's as big as the last one. Unlike Chino, I loved the enormity of it. Also, I'd be perfectly happy with the same engine. The physics of IV were amazing, and as we saw with the DLC, they can make it look completely different. Compare the bleariness of IV with the grittiness of the biker one and the glitz of Gay Tony. They could make V very California-like.
-
That was a very cool trailer. Color me interested.
-
''I thought I'd be a dad, like all the other dads.''
-

-
Just saw the trailer. Looks cool of course, but I was hoping for a return to Vice City.
-
I love Vice City.
-
Trailer made me even more excited. :)
-
I hadn't considered it before, but I suppose a modern Vice City with the new engine would be pretty cool. This time they could incorporate keys and maybe a Cuba type local to better involve the drug trade. I could see side missions that involve popping down to the Caribbean to pick up boat/plan loads of cola.
Still, since SA was the best of all the predecessors, I'm thrilled for a return.
-
I'd love to see one set in 60s London or Manchester/Liverpool, or a fictional version of it.
-
After seeing the trailer, I'm loving the character and styling they gave the city. This is going to be one hell of a game.
-
Whoa. Scenery.
-
I guess there was dialog. Don't have sound up here so only saw the scenery.
-
I was hoping for a Vice City setting, but GTA 5 does look pretty cool though.
-
I got sort of a Vercetti vibe from that guy.

A few people are saying it's Ray Liotta's voice. I personally couldn't say if it is or isn't but I'm hoping it is.
-
It's not.
-
From what it showed, it looks great, although it's hard to tell much from that. I loved GTA IV, so as long as they haven't done anything ridiculous, chances are I'll want to play this.
-
SAN. ANDREAS. BOOM. I'm super excited for this now.
-
Do you think.
That.
Deliberately putting a plane at the end of the trailer is a hint at something returning?
Such as.
Planes?
-
I wonder if the black guy in the wife-beater was a reference to CJ. Or maybe it was CJ.
-
I sort of hope that CJ is in the game and that you have to do missions for him.
-
While the trailer looks cool, it also kind of seems like the same old San Andreas, but upgraded graphics. I hope they throw some new wrinkles in the game, but Ill buy this game right away.
-
Doesn't look like CJ. Actually, looks more like Caesar to me.
All three planes you see in the trailer were planes that were available in the original. Doesn't necessarily mean anything, but is noticeable.
While they didn't show anything specifically outside of Los Santo, the mountain range certainly looks more like Mt. Chiliad than the Hollywood Hills.
-
Seeing the trailer more and more, makes me more and more excited.
Seen it about 10 times now, really excited.
As for San Fierro and Las Venturas, I might be completely off here, but:
0.20 - Mount Chiliad (San Fierro), at least how it looks.
0.28 - Might be Los Santos, but feels very Las Venturas to me, I don't know.
0.45 - It's hard to say overall, but for those who played through San Andreas, there are a few missions in San Fierro (on the first half) where there are bushes like that in the forest, up in some hills. I can't say for sure that it's San Fierro though, but maybe.
Anyhow, REALLY EXCITED about this game!

Okay, so on a forum, I found a post from a dude claiming to have seen about 30 minutes of gameplay, working for a playstation magazine or whatever.
This post has some REALLY juicy stuff in it, and seeing as it might be BS or regarded as huge spoilers, I will post this in a very small font.
I don't expect anyone to believe all of it, but I do think it's very interesting, and hopefully a lot of it will be true.
I suggest copy + paste into Notepad or something. :)
So yeah, be fairly open minded for this, as I mentioned it might not be 100% correct or anything like that, but take it for what it is, and hopefully you'll find it interesting as well.
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.

Trailer was awesome.

If these things are true :omg:

I used to love GTA games but out of all the sandbox games these days, GTA probably interests me the least :-\

Not a flame, but curious, which games interest you more? I love sandbox games and recently played through Just Cause 2 which I found to be great.

I'm not speaking for AcidRainLTE, but I know a lot of people are into the Saint's Row games now, since they offer the absurd over the top shit the earlier GTA games had
-
If it's built by the same crew who made Red Dead Redemption then it will the best GTA yet.
Last GTA I played was Vice City, I tried the ones that came after that but I really disliked the main characters so I never felt in the mood to continue.
In Vice City the main character was voiced by Ray Liotta and that had an appeal for me.

I neve really cared who the main character were... I guess you could say I didn't care about the story either. GTA3 was the only GTA I ever finished. Usually I play just enough of the campaign so that all of the map gets unlocked. At that point I just put in every cheat possible and cause mayhem for hours on end.
-
While I'm largely indifferent to the overall story, the main character is important to me. Mostly because the tone of the entire game is linked to him. I didn't care for Nicko and I thought the atmosphere of IV's Liberty City was dreary and depressing. I was alright with Johnny Klebitz, and the grittiness of LC in that one was much more appealing. I like Luis, and TBoGT had the best atmosphere of all of them.
As for the rest of the franchise, I liked all of the main characters. San Andreas in particular had great characters all the way around. CJ was perfectly likable (though his brother was a huge pain in the ass). One he got off of Grove St., all of the new secondary companions were a hoot. It also had the best gad guys of the franchise. SA had Samuel Jackson and Chris Penn. IV had some unnamed Rooskie.
-
As much as I love the GTA series, I always found it hard to care about the main stories. The cut scenes for each mission are usually very boring and I just lose interest. TBOGT was great though because the scenes were just so ridiculous, also it was shorter so easier to follow. Watching the scenes for like 90 missions is just too much for me.
-
They're a lot easier to deal with back when they incorporated some comedy. Part of the appeal of TBoGT was that there was a lot of humor to their situation. Hadn't really thought about it, but tons of funny stuff happened to CJ (The Truth and that federal agent come to mind). Don't think Nicko ever laughed once in IV.

Well IV had Brucie, but compared to the earlier games it was rather humorless.
-
San Andreas was definately the better of the two story/character wise (CJ, Tennpenny and Truth vs Niko, some Russian and Brucie), but IMO IV had the better gameplay (not by enough to compensate for the story though). Also agree on the Lost and the Damned, added much needed edginess, context and brutality - it felt like the main story in IV could have been about anyone, really.
-
I would like a 30's GTA one day. L.A Noire is almost that but I wanna be the mafia :lol

Pretty much sums it up. Personally, I couldn't stand Brucie, and made it my point to kill him at every opportunity. Then he'd call from the hospital and after telling him I'd pick up him, I'd either run him over again or just ghost him. In fact, I think I'm going to start the game up right now, just so I can call for one of those helicopter rides and then RPG his dumb ass out over the bay.
Jacob was a helluva guy, though.

The Godfather might be right up your alley. It was actually a fantastic idea. Your character was an unseen player in all of the events during the two movies. So your missions are things like sneaking into some stables to cut off a horse's head, and trying to protect Sonny after he goes hauling ass off to meet his destiny at the toll plaza. Excellent writing. Clemenza and Tessio are your main bosses, I believe. The gameplay isn't bad, but all of the racketeering missions are flawed. Still, you could probably pick it up for $10 and be amused for a while.

Bit of a bump, but I couldn't see anything newer other than the video games thread. GTA5 has been delayed until September :-[
Dear all,
Today, we have an official release date to share with you: Grand Theft Auto V will arrive in stores on September 17, 2013.
We know this is about four months later than originally planned and we know that this short delay will come as a disappointment to many of you, but, trust us, it will be worth the extra time. GTAV is a massively ambitious and complex game and it simply needs a little more polish to be of the standard we and, more importantly, you require.
To all Grand Theft Auto fans, please accept our apologies for the delay, and our promise that the entire team here is working very hard to make the game all it can be. We are doing all we can to help ensure it will meet if not exceed your expectations come September – we thank you for your support and patience.
Yours,
The GTA Team

Was just beginning to get excited about it coming out soon! I admire the fact they don't want to release it before it's 100% finished, but it's a bit annoying!
-
I was just wondering when that thing would be out. Looks like they decided to wait until my birthday to release it.
Honestly, I'm not terribly excited, regardless. I hope it's good, but after IV, I'm not getting my hopes up. I'm sure the gameplay will be fine, but previous incarnations were more than the game mechanics. The environments and situations had character and style. In IV they were all about substance. I fear that's a trend that might continue.
-
It's going to be awesome.
-
My pocket thanks them!
-
That trailer looked like it'll be modern day Skyrim. That makes me very happy in my trousers.

I'm confident in Roackstar. Despite the mountain of stuff that let me down in GTA-IV (the driving angles being the biggest), there were tons of new features that caught me by pleasent surprise. I'm hoping Rockstar listens to the fans and makes the needed corrections. I am really hoping they implement controls that are as similar to RDR as possible (crosses fingers for dead-eye).
I was reading an article not too long ago that was talking about the level of sophistication that all the pedestrians have. For example, say you see a guy weed whacking... that's his profession. If you wanted to, you could watch him weed whack all day, follow him to his home, and the next morning he will return to work as a weed whacker. If you were to kill him, you'd never see him again.
From my understanding you play as multiple characters in the story line. You can start a mission that requires you to complete an objective as one character, and you then need to take control of another character in the mission and fulfill their objective. I'm not quite sure how that is going to work out, but I'm being optimistic.
In terms of the scope of the map and visuals, it looks absolutely stunning.
My Wishlist:
1) Custom radio stations
2) No gym, conditioning, and eating requirements.
3) The ability to drive a semi with trailer attached.
4) The ability to toe random cars with toe trucks like in GTA San Andreas
5) Not needing to deal with girlfriends
6) A decent level of gore (unlikely)
7) Less blur affect and greater draw distance
8) Make money an important factor. Be able to bribe police and things of that nature.
9) Finishing moves while street fighting (like the ones in Saints Row III, just not as comical)
10) Hot chicks on roller blades with bosoms that adhere to the laws of gravity.
11) More realistic damage, not just to cars, but the environment as well. If I smash a car through a concrete wall, I want there to be a hole in it for at least a couple of days.
12) The ability to hold people at gun point and force them to do things (preferably the ability to force people into a vehicle, drive them into the forest, then execute them).

My wish list is quite simple.
1: Add some humor this time around.

That's pretty cool. Honestly, it's not the technical side that needs work. I'm fully confident that R* will include fantastic game mechanics. I consider their use of Euphoria in IV to be one of the biggest steps forward in gaming we've seen, and it resulted in some fantastic game moments. It was the plot that sucked. When you remove the fun stuff from the story you wind up with redundant missions interspersed with running errands for your dipshit cousin.

If you wanted to, you could watch him weed whack all day, follow him to his home, and the next morning he will return to work as a weed whacker. If you were to kill him, you'd never see him again.
That's pretty cool. Honestly, it's not the technical side that needs work. I'm fully confident that R* will include fantastic game mechanics. I consider their use of Euphoria in IV to be one of the biggest steps forward in gaming we've seen, and it resulted in some fantastic game moments. It was the plot that sucked. When you remove the fun stuff from the story you wind up with redundant missions interspersed with running errands for your dipshit cousin.
True, but that's a problem I've had in the GTA series for a long time. Eventually, everything becomes a "go here and kill this guy", "drive here and do this", or "go steal this car and don't damage it". How they fix that, I'm not really sure. Maybe Skyrim, RDR, and GTA need to have some sort of love child. I would really like to see more intelligent gameplay. Not on the side the AI, but on the side of the user. I want missions where I actually need to pause and assess what the situation is. I want to have to think my way through stuff, not just shoot a million guys or drive really fast. I want my correct decisions to be rewarded while my incorrect ones make the game a real bitch.

Since i actually didn't know they had announced or spoken about a possible release date it came as no shock to me other than i have to wait for the possible PC release until 2014 and that sounds far away! :'(

I wouldn't get sad just yet. The screenshots and trailers (IMO) look way too pretty to be on either 360 or PS3. The several month delay might be because they plan on releasing a PC version on launch day.

However, that doesn't mean that it's not designed for a Next Gen console. The PS4 and Xbox 720 and due for release this year if not early next year, I think Rockstar are waiting for that to be perfectly honest

The graphics look great for a game made by Rockstar North, but come on, this is no Crysis. I fully believe that's all console.

Yea that thought crossed my mind actually. Maybe that IS the reason for the delay.....*wishful thinking*

No way. If a new console was coming out this year, we would know by now for sure. Best case scenario, we'll get a new Xbox in the first half of 2014, and the PS4 will probably be at least 6 months behind that. Rockstar said September 2013 release. No chance of next gen consoles by then.

I don't know if they're coming out this year (though I wouldn't put it past MS to release the new Xbox in the fall) but their announcement IS coming, that's a fact.
Just look at the release calendar for games this year, only two "big" games have been announced for a date later than May and both are delayed games. (GTA V and Splinter Cell: Blacklist)

The way I see it, Rockstar are in an incredibly tough position, they either release it on the Current Console then possibly lose sales a year later when the newer Gen consoles come out, or hold off until there is some sort of announcement that will allow them to put it on them. I mean, I can see them holding off right up until the new consoles are released to be quite honest with you, unless they are desperate for sales.

But GTA-V was developed from the ground up (so I've read). I can't see how they could manage to bring it up to snuff in terms of next gen specs in such a short time. To my knowledge, developers have only had the dev kits for a half a year or so. E3 is probably when we'll get at least one unveil... that is unless Microsoft or Sony doesn't host its own event like Apple does.
-
I bet Rockstar has dev kits of the next Xbox and PS. I bet all the major developers have them and they probably have been working on porting GTA V to them.
It wouldn't be a new thing, at the beginning of this console cycle a lot of games where released for both the Xbox/360 and PS2/PS3, like Gun and King Kong.

Valid.
I always said that if the new Xbox managed to secure GTAV as an exclusive launch title, the PS4 would have a really hard time catching up. I just hope whatever console gen GTAV is released on, it was developed independently on both systems. I played GTAIV on both consoles and I felt that it played way better on the xbox. It was designed on the 360 and ported to PS3, yes?

Yes, like most games on this generation.
I don't know if it's because of the year headstart, or the different architecture used, but games on this generation generally run better and are designed on the 360.

That was my biggest complaint with the PS3. The games made for it were amazing (LBP, Killzone2+3, Gran Turismo 5), but any that were released on both systems seemed to lack polish.

To my understanding, that was because the PS3 had more cores in its processor than the xbox. It made it harder for devs to develop.

Actually, I suspect they already have developers working on GTA VI for the next gen consoles. My wish list is quite simple.

I was reading an article not too long ago that was talking about the level of sophistication that all the pedestrians have. For example, say you see a guy weed whacking... that's his profession. If you wanted to, you could watch him weed whack all day, follow him to his home, and the next morning he will return to work as a weed whacker. If you were to kill him, you'd never see him again.
That's pretty cool. Honestly, it's not the technical side that needs work. I'm fully confident that R* will include fantastic game mechanics. I consider their use of Euphoria in IV to be one of the biggest steps forward in gaming we've seen, and it resulted in some fantastic game moments. It was the plot that sucked. When you remove the fun stuff from the story you wind up with redundant missions interspersed with running errands for your dipshit cousin.
True, but that's a problem I've had in the GTA series for a long time. Eventually, everything becomes a "go here and kill this guy", "drive here and do this", or "go steal this car and don't damage it". How they fix that, I'm not really sure. Maybe Skyrim, RDR, and GTA need to have some sort of love child. I would really like to see more intelligent gameplay. Not on the side the AI, but on the side of the user. I want missions where I actually need to pause and assess what the situation is. I want to have to think my way through stuff, not just shoot a million guys or drive really fast. I want my correct decisions to be rewarded while my incorrect ones make the game a real bitch.
San Andreas had a very diverse mission set. It also had a story that was interesting with various goals that led you to different places. IV was simply go shoot these guys, lose the cops, go bowling with fucking Brucie's dumb ass. Rinse, lather repeat.

I'll give you that. The story line didn't feel a forced or linear. I think one of the things that Skyrim did (and I'm sure others, but I don't play many games of that type) was the choice of what you wanted to be doing. I would start quests for one guy, and then next thing I know, three weeks go by of me doing stuff for other people. I really like being able to start on one path and then have the ability to sidetrack indefinitely if I really want to. I doubt a GTA game will ever be like that, but a man can dream.
-
I stopped playing San Andreas around 10 minutes into it, I can't stand this gangsta rap shit vibe.
I didn't play 4 cause I deeply lost interest in GTA after San Andreas.
After Red Dead Redemption I am pretty sure I will never ever play a better open world game so I haven't really been following news on GTA V.
We'll see how it looks like after they release some game play footage.

Yeah, I didn't finish SA either.
Red Dead Redemption is easily my favorite game this generation. Not as long or as big as Skyrim, but something about being in the old west was awesome. It was the first game that I played that put me in that environment. Hog tying the prostitutes, throwing them on a horse, and then leaving them on the train tracks was so much fun. I was pissed off at the end of the game, but I let it slide. After Jack dies, three years go by and you take over as his son. First complaint, his sun was a pussy. Second complaint, that really advanced town (the one with brick building and paved streets) was no more finished than it was three years prior. Third complaint, I never got to drive a steam car. I'm really hoping for a sequel on next gen. I'd be shocked if there wasn't. Oh, and another thing that pissed me off... you couldn't take control of the train! The fuck.
Back to GTAV. In the event some of you haven't visited this site, it is really good with keeping up to date with everything GTAV related.

I feel like it was too much for the PS2 to handle. It was a great effort, but if Rockstar scaled it back just a little bit, I think it would have been much more awesome.

I'm probably a little biased. I bet I spent more time playing GTAIII than Vice City and San Andreas combined. My friends spent hours on end putting in the wanted cheat to get six stars, and then with a stop watch would see who could survive the longest.

That's too bad. While the gangsta vibe is obviously a integral part of the game, it moves to the background for a whole lot of it. About 25% of the way through, you get dumped off in the woods and have to start from scratch in various new environs. You spend a lot of time working for Peter Fonda's stoned ass in San Francisco. James Woods is great as a borderline insane government agent who trains you as a pilot out in the desert. Crazed Mexican chick Catalina is a freaking riot. There's a 5 or 6 mission story arc around a casino heist once you move to Vegas. You also have some run-ins with previous characters including Rosenberg (one of my favorites) and some of the Lovefist guys. I'd say that half the game takes place completely outside of the hood.
As for finishing, SA is the only one of the franchise that I ever bothered to get 100% completion on. Even the side jobs were entertaining.

i want to be able to murder somebody in a dark alley without the cops magically knowing that I did it. But I think they mentioned at some point that they were going to fix that. I know the first thing I'm doing in GTA V is murdering hikers at dusk.
I felt like such a sociopath typing that up.

Don't worry! I believe the majority of people who play this game do it to vicariously live their sociopathic tendencies, I know I do.

Something else I hadn't considered before is that there's no crossover between IV and any of the previous games, save perhaps Lazlow who hasn't been funny since he was being abused on V-Rock. All of the other games existed in the same universe with common characters, so you were always finding out other things about their past and future. San Andreas showed the latter years of some of the Vice City guys (Rosenberg, Dwayne & Jethro, Lovefist) and the early years of some of the III characters (Maria, Salvatore Leone). Then you had the Claude/Catalina thing which was an important, yet never explained aspect of III. Even the radio DJ's had some continuity, with
IV started an entirely new world, which sadly, just wasn't all that interesting.

Hitman: Absolution was able to help me fulfill my psychopathic desires, hopefully this one too.
One of the things GTA IV had that made me feel like a twisted person was when you hit someone, how the blood ended up on the hood of the car. I always tried to see how much blood I could get on my car.
....And then go to the carwash

I try my best to avoid pedestrians when I'm actually involved in story stuff. If I just fire it up for some mayhem, it's open season. That's usually when I'll drive my car around Central Park looking for those Tai Chi dorks.
-
This game looks fucking awesome. That said, I am in no way excited or anticipating it at all. :lol It's weird, every GTA game I've ever played with the exception of Vice City has been nothing but a time-killer and screwing around. IV, I think I played all of 10 or so hours of storyline and missions and furthering the game's progress, and the rest of the 90 hours spent was nothing but dicking around the city, screwing up fools, driving around, etc. etc. I think that with this one as well, all of the little nuances with the pedestrians and the mechanics of the actual gameplay, as well as the secrets they place around the world itself will be what I play this game for.
I never was one to be into the more 'real-world' games such as this, or war games, or anything that makes me realize I'm playing a game and I'm not immersed in a fantasy world; I just don't get into it like I do my precious RPG/Adventure/Other miscellaneous fantasy games. GTA is odd in that you can do whatever the hell you want, but it's all confined to (mostly) real-world physics pushed to their limits and being fantastical in that state of the world. It's awesome but I really couldn't give a shit less about the story, the characters, what happens to them, what they do or where they go; and for that matter, what happens at the end of it all. Truly, I just want to fuck shit up. GTA is perfect for that; so in that regard, I guess I'm somewhat excited. But the real excitement won't come until I actually start doing it.
Good stuff in the world of GTA. It says a lot that the thing that gets me excited is being able to smash my car at the perfect angle across a guard-rail and have my character fly through the windshield, over a pond, and into another car and somehow I still survive...only to climb atop the highest building possible and jump off. :metal :tup

I really hope the handling of the cars is "fixed" for GTA V. I've never had as much trouble getting around in a game that involves driving as I did in GTA IV. Even after a few dozen hours I was still a shit driver, I just couldn't get used to the way the cars handled at all. I'll be pretty annoyed if the same horrific handling is present in all of the V generation of games.

I just did the unthinkable, for me at least.
I'm replaying GTA III right now, and I just completed the Paramedic mission on the first try. It always took me SO many tries to get it

I've heard they're making them more realistic and less "boat-like."
-
It took some getting used to but I had no problems with the driving in any of the GTAs, including IV.
-
Yeah the acceleration was amazingly sluggish and the understeer was intense. Really hope they're fixing that.
It would also be nice to have an option to change gear and a speedometer option would be cool too.
-
I too did not have any driving issues, although in switching from GTA4 back to Vice City the turning is hilariously overcompensating.

This, and I believe they changed the controls up. It was a much better control set, but if you were used ti SA or the previous games, then you had a tendency to mix things up.

I took a sick day yesterday and decided to download Vice City via PSN. I played for a solid ten hours, maybe more. That game is so much funnier than I remember it! Some of the radio shows had me cracking up. There was one with lessons on how to speak redneck in multiple languages. It went something like "Listen to this sample lesson in Spanish; el bonita hermana.. girlfriend " :rollin :rollin :rollin. I can't help but wish they remade Vice City instead of Sand Andreas. Everything about it is pure excellence. I was reading that some songs had to be removed from the soundtrack due to new licensing issues.
-
Radio Espantoso had some of the funniest bits, to me, in Vice City.
-
I always enjoyed VCPR
"When I heard my son use words like rad and cool and stick it, I beat him to within an inch of his life and he will never say that again."
I downloaded 3, VC, and SA and have been enjoying them all. They definitely run a lot smoother than they did on the PS2, and look a bit better to me.

Gordon Moorehead Rides Again was one of the funniest things I've ever heard in my life.

I always found Fernando from Emotion 89.3 the funniest.

Looks great, but eye-candy isn't what I'm interested in.

Guaranteed not to look that good on my computer anyway.

In late 2012, Rockstar said that "refining open-world multiplayer into something really special" had been a huge focus in the development of GTA V.
I don't know how many that played mp free mode in GTA4 but i thought that was really fun with friends!

It was alright. Good for goofing off, but none of the actual games were all that interesting to me.
I always though they should have had a zombie version of multiplayer. Turn all of the civvies into zombies, a la Dawn of the Dead. Open up some of the interior locations and stash re-spawning supplies in a few locations. That way different groups of online factions could vie for the limited caches.
-
I know it's probably a long shot, but I'd love to have a first person camera option. If you could take the eyes of Far Cry 3 and put them in a GTA game, it would take it to a whole new level.

If I remember correctly, there was a mod for GTA IV that let you go first person.

There was. But it was homemade, kinda buggy, and not available on PS3.

Three new trailers 13-04-30!

-
Man, R*'s timing on this is almost comically bad. They're releasing a game that took years to develop 3 months before the platform it's on becomes obsolete. And given recent history, there's no reason to believe the new platforms will be backwards compatible.
-
I don't think it will matter that much to be honest. GTA is such a big name that people will still get it, and regarding the new consoles, I doubt everyone will get the new one over night. It's amazing how much a console drops in price in just a few months, and I would be surprised if everyone tossed their 360 or PS3 right away to buy the new console when it's the most expensive.
-
I'm still crossing my fingers for a multi-gen release.
-
I don't really see it happening to be honest, since the hardware in PS4/X720 will be way different than the one in PS3/X360, and it would be like developing two different games with two different engines, two different everything.
-

The platforms will not become obsolete over a night, there will be a transition period and for all we know they may very well be a PS4 and XBox720 in development since the game was pushed back a few month. The PC version is still to be announced which means if they plan to release a PC version the next gen consoles will most likely also happen since they have a more PC and development friendly structure then before, atleast from what i've heard. Keep in mind a PC version is neither denied or confirmed, they have said though that they're looking out for the possibilities of a PC build.
-

But don't companies already do that between consoles? I mean, isn't making a making a game for 360 and PS3 just as different as gen to gen? There were plenty of new games released for both PS2 and PS3.
-
I would have thought that a next gen Gta released at or near launch would be the best for the next gen.

I'm shocked that Sony or Microsoft didn't try to get it as an exclusive... at least for beginning. Maybe Rockstar makes more money having it not as an exclusive to justify it. But I feel that if either company had it as an exclusive launch title, it would be a serious leg up.

It probably sold about 10m copies on each console, so I don't think it would be worth it to them to make it an exclusive title.
-
Well Microsoft had the rights to dlc first for 4.... but yea, a fat check for exclusive launch would have been huge for whichever console got it.

New trailers in 5 minutes!!
-
Swweeeeeet! :metal
-
Well the website is overloaded, but I was able to hear the audio for Michael. Radio Gaga :metal
-
First person view in the helicopter cockpit.... FINALLY
I really liked how these trailers showed the three characters and the parts of the city they associate with. The rich and luxurious city dwellers, the hood and ghettos, and the hicks.
-
So I just watched it (for the lazy it's here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Bf38HiYPMiI)). First impressions are: I think I will like Michael, he seems to have the most interesting story from what this trailer shows. Franklin looks like he's just about rehashing the plot of GTA San Andreas, right down to the disinterest in being part of the gang he's in, and it looks like it's even the same gang as the last time since they are all wearing green. I'm not excited for his plotline at all just yet. Trevor seems to epitomise chaos and insanity, and looks to be the comic relief. Let's face it, that kind of character is not going to be a bad thing in a GTA game.
No idea when I'll be playing it though. I hope the PC version doesn't take too long to be released. :(
-
Yea the trailers were pretty sweet. I found these analysis to be pretty awesome:

Some new juicy GTAV info:
- Rockstar claims its goal was to create the ultimate open world
- The transition between the three protagonists is smooth; the camera zooms out to a Google Earth view, the screen fills with static, the camera moves across the city and zooms back into your chosen character
- The closer characters are, the quicker the transition. During missions where they're all together its instantaneous
- Each character is rated in a series of skill categories: Stamina, Shooting, Strength, Stealth, Flying, Driving, Mechanic, Lung Capacity.
- Each character has a 'Special': Franklin is an adrenalin junkie and can slow down time while driving; Trevor has a frenzy mode, where he's does double damage, takes half damage, and has a unique - melee attack; Michael has his own version of bullet time
- Specials are governed by a meter, it drains after use and recharges slowly
- Other skill categories are shared and can be improved by completing missions, side missions, activities and more
- Trevor will always be the best pilot, Franklin will always be the best driver but each can improve their proficiency a little
- One of the skill categories is stealth, suggesting players will be able to take different approaches to missions
- The wave physics are some of the best we've seen in any game this generation
- Although weather wasn't shown, it's easy to see how they'd work in the game
- Some boats will include gear such as wetsuit, flippers and tanks for diving
- An underwater ecosystem exits, "the sea is teaming with fish and sharks"
- Treasures can be found underwater, but NPCs will be looking for them too
- GTA 5 rewards exploration, there's no signposting underwater, so you'll have to find the treasure the hard way
- Dives won't offer massive payoffs, but will "help grease the wheels"
- The character selection wheel is split into four triangles: Franklin, Trevor, Michael, and your multiplayer character
- It seems there's a closer relationship between single and multiplayer. Simply pressing Down on the d-pad will drop the play in and out of MP.
- Rockstar has said it will reveal more on multiplayer in the future
- Michael's is miserable: his wife hates him, he has no relationship with his kids, he spends his drinking whiskey and watching old action movies
- There are subtle differences in the way each character moves to reflect their personalities; Michael is slower and deliberate.
- Rockstar says there will be five times as many pedestrians in GTA V as there were in Grand Theft Auto IV
- The game is a "massive" technical step up from GTA IV, the team has nailed the look of LA
- There's a "crazy level of detail": Tourist buses can be boarded for a tour of celebrity homes, film posters are plastered on the walls, men in comedy costumes try to corner you outside the Cathay - Theatre, including the Superman-like Impotent Rage and Master Chief riff, Space Ranger.
- iFruit, the game's new phone, can be used to snap pictures and upload them to Rockstar's Social Club or your own our social media page. Recording videos seems likely.
- The phone also has apps. In addition to the camera there is internet, contacts, social media, a calendar, and a replay missions app. There are three more Rockstar hasn't yet detailed.
- Michael's obsession with classic films translates into in-game set pieces based on real world movies. In the demo the three characters mount a heist very similar to the one from Heat.
- Mini heists' are used to teach the player about preparation. Players must secure vehicles, outfits, masks, the getaway vehicle and locations for dumping potentially damaging.
- These build up to a bigger heist where the execution must be flawless. They'll require the right crew and players will have to decide on the cheap option, which results in less skilled people, or paying more for skilled crew members that will a larger cut.
- You can switch between Franklin, Trevor and Michael during a cutscene, manually, or automatically when the AI takes control for you
- Each character has a job to do, how much you switch yourself in or let the computer do, is entirely up to you
- If you die the game reloads to the last checkpoint, even if two other characters are alive
- Although it's up to the player when they switch, dialogue will suggest ideal moments. For example, when Michael and Franklin are being overwhelmed by snipers, Michael might ask for Trevor's help.
- A combat roll has been introduced for moving between cover
- There is a wider field of vision, and players can run-and-gun
- Pay N Sprays can also mod cars with paint jobs, new wheels, window tints, grilles, spoilers. Upgrades to suspension, engine and brakes can also be made.
- Weapons can also be customised with laser sights, scopes, silencers, and high capacity magazines
- You can customise yourself with haircuts, new clothes, and tattoos
- You can pick up hitchikers, do stunt jumps and flying challenges, take part in yoga, golf, tennis or bike races.
- You can buy property too; houses, garages and businesses can all be purchased for extra revenue sources.

Sounds really awesome. Might be quite a feat for an Xbox360/PS3 game to end that gen if it really is that much better and detailed than IV because that game set some standards pretty high for GTA.

Imagine if they just decided to leave it at IV and invested all this time into next gen.... The thought of buying a PS4 and not getting a GTA for at least a year and a half really blows.
-
Speaking of PS4, is there any concrete info on what prices the various versions of it are going to be sold for?

No concrete info, but rumors point to a $299-$399 pricepoint.
Here's the latest info (today (https://www.pc-tablet.com/23386-sony-playstation-4-specs-ps4-release-date-price-features-games-rumors/))
Also, I've never played a GTA game, other than maybe an hour of GTA III a couple years ago. This game looks amazing.

I'm on PC so i'll have to wait forever for a release but who says they're not investing in next gen? They did delay the release date! And if i know Rockstar correctly they are not the type of company that rush decisions so i'm hoping they are investing this extra time to develope a next gen and PC version. Plz do Rock! :hefdaddy

I just can't wait to smash planes into everything

The screenshots look amazing. Starting to wish I didn't sell my Xbox because I'm not going to want to wait for a PC release.

Yea i may have to dust off my 360, i have not touched that thing since i got my new PC 2 years ago.
-
The screenshots look amazing. Starting to wish I didn't sell my Xbox because I'm not going to want to wait for a PC release.
With the next gen console coming out shortly, I bet you can pick up a used 360 for dirt cheap.

Jesus H. Christ. This game, along with the next Gran Turismo and the PS4 release of Final Fantasy, is going to rule (read: ruin) my life
Anyone know if a PS4 bought in the US can be used in Europe? I am moving to France summer 2014, but I want to buy the PS4 when it comes out. Any digital rights/barriers issues I should be aware of?
-
Holy fuck it looks amazing. I've been waiting for that much diversity in the overworld's environments since SR2.

I'm trying not to get too excited about this game because the PC version hasn't even been announced let alone has a release date. But dat video... :facepalm: Too late. Do want.

Looks great, but that doesn't necessarily mean it'll be enjoyable. IV looked great also, and it was kind of a downer for me.
Here's something that's often puzzled me. Why does this game look so much better despite using the exact same hardware? Console games always work that way. I can understand why Skyrim looks better than Morrowind; built for people with newer, better hardware. Madden would have four or five titles per console, and each one looked quite a bit better than the last. Always made me think they were shortchanging us to improve future longevity.

It's also a completely new engine...
Now why would this look better? Probably a better understanding of how the hardware works, so they're able to get more out of it. And this game looks great, compare to what Rockstar North usually does, but it's not like one of the best looking games you can get.
-
Like Dimi said, new engines, and more familiarity with the hardware, as it was all brand new hardware/architecture when released. That's one reason why next-gen may not have as steep of an improvement as last, since PS4 and XB1 are using x86 (PC) which is familiar to just about everybody, hopefully giving us a significant jump from the get go.
-
Just seems to me that if all of the previous limitations were on the software side, then they've kind of been shortchanging us.
-
Oh. Em. Gee.
Rockstar can shut up and take my money twice.
-
Holy cow that looked amazing! Alot slicker than i thought!
-
The driving physics. THE DRIVING PHYSICS :o
It's like they took everything that was really really fun about San Andreas that they took away from GTA IV and slipped it right back in there!! The planes, the vehicle customization, the huge amount of clothing, the buying of real estate, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THE DRIVING PHSYICS! They actually look enjoyable this time around. That was my most hated thing about GTA IV.
From a post on Reddit: "Past GTA and RDR features. Max Payne 3 gunplay. Midnight Club style driving. It's like the best features from each of Rockstar's games in one game." They did forget about Rockstar Table Tennis influencing the tennis though :lol
Before that trailer I was extremely "meh" about this game and was much more excited for something like Watch Dogs, but this trailer has single-handedly sealed the deal for my $60. Looking forward to this game immensely.
PS this and the DT tracklist and album art all on one day?! It's sensory overload!

I've never played a GTA game but this looks great! I just downloaded Saints Row The Third, as it's free on Playstation Plus this month, and while obviously much more arcade-y, is still along the same lines. Is there any reason I should play any of the other iterations of GTA or should I just wait until GTA V?

Saints Row the Third was one of the most fun open world games I've ever played. In regards to playing a prior GTA game, I'd recommend just playing GTAIII. That way, when you finally get GTAV, you can see just how far the franchise has come. Then again, Vice City is fucking amazing, and San Andreas is going to be the dumbed down version of V. Hell, play all of them :lol.

It seems to me that despite the hardware being essentially the same; all of it, including the operating system is designed for a single purpose whereas on a PC there is always competition for resources and the operating system may not necessarily be optimized for gaming purposes.
Its the same reason why high end gaming systems have two or more video cards: one that serves the operating system demands while the gaming card kicks on when needed. This allows NVIDIA, for example, to gear resource usage more optimally.
Edit: Its the same reason why Android system is far superior to Windows Mobile. Android was developed for mobile applications where Windows Mobile is a different version of the same PC system used in a different application. Both phones use basically same hardware, but and Android phone will always out compete a WM phone.

OH...MY...GOD...
This is what I'm gonna do for my second or third listen-through of the album.
I remember the first time I listened to SFAM I was playing San Andreas. I thought I would listen and just dick around, but I got so engaged in the music I ended up driving around aimlessly for an hour. Ugh this makes me so much more excited! SEPTEMBER CANNOT COME SOON ENOUGH
-
I am definitely pre ordering it ASAP.
-
Similarly, I usually spend a few hours exploring as much of a map as I can just to hear what they picked for the radio stations. ;D
-

You know what I just realized? Since the none of the main characters are Russians, that probably means no more Russian radio station! :( I'll miss the great lyrics that were "ein schwien line, sticky sticky swhine ee-eh"
But I am definitely excited to hear what they include in this game as far as radio station music. Hopefully they'll have a proper metal radio station like SR3 did. I mean, most of it wasn't very good, but there was one BTBAM song on it.
Also, another thing that's exciting when it comes to music is that this is the first GTA to have music scored to go along with missions! Very excited for that.
-
Yeah, SR 2 and 3, along with Sleeping Dogs all had Opeth, and SR3 had The Dear Hunter, which I always thought was awesome. I think GTA4 or one of its expansions even had Marillion. I hope GTA V tries to top all those with its stations.
And I'm hoping Lazlow is back as well. His GTA radio shows are tradition at this point.
-
So what is everyone's wish list?
No particular order.
- The ability to back up to any vehicle with a tow truck and hook it up.
- The ability to hijack a train
- A dead-eye feature while shooting
- No girlfriend bullshit
- Lots of outside of mission world destruction
- Flame thrower
- Monster truck (or at least a beastly pick up truck with a serious lift kit and huge tires).
- An online mode in which you don't see all of your opponents on the radar
- Be able to bribe cops below a certain wanted level.
- Executions or finishing movies (I'm thinking like in RDR when you put a shotgun to someone's chin)
- More realistic car damage
- I'd like to see better than just rag doll physics when I hit a pedestrian at 100mph. I'd love to see them dragged under the car and leave a streak of red until their bodies run out of blood.
- The ability to skin the animals I hunt and sell their hides to hunting stores.
- Speaking of hunting, I think a crossbow would be an appropriate weapon for the game.
- Some sort of zombie expansion eventually.
- The ability to eventually buy your own parking garage where you could store dozens of vehicles.
- A red taxi with spikes on the front
-

A deadeye feature has been confirmed I'm pretty sure. If you saw the stat meters in the trailer, one of them was "special". Each character has his own special ability, and I believe that it's Michael that's able to go into bullet time.
Dude, ragdoll is the greatest physics engine invention EVER! It's my favourite thing about hitting people ;D
I think it's absolutely necessary that there be zombie DLC for this one. It would be too much fun.
As for my list:
- Post GTA IV style cheats, AKA via button input and not the cellphone
- Speaking of that, NO CELLPHONE
- Also speaking of that, better cheats than what was in GTA IV (I just want to fly my tow truck over Mount Chiliad, is that too much to ask Rockstar?)
- No having to go out with friends/cousins to increase their friendship meter
- A JETPACK
That's all I can think of right now haha
-
- Post GTA IV style cheats, AKA via button input and not the cellphone
Pretty sure everything in this game is post GTA IV. ;)

Some new info from CVG/GTAV.net: (https://www.gtav.net/news/4545/cvg-exclusive-interview-with-rockstar)
- "Over 1,000 car customization options" (Bulletproof tires, armor, etc.)
- Car will turn up in an impound if left in the street. Must pay a fine to retrieve it
- You can't directly "weaponize" your car, but there are a lot of little options. (Car leaking petrol and light em up, sticky bombs)
- Guns will be with you throughout the whole game
- Customized guns will broaden range of options during missions. (Stealthy vs. loud, Scope, etc.)
- Moved from static fights to free focus. Quickly switch your focus to other enemies. No longer need to lock on to enemies, although you can lock on if you wish
- "Hits are much more satisfying"
- Each character has different animation. Strength stat has a bearing on melee capability
- Expect really cool destruction/carnage/damage
- Combat AI much more advance with more knowledge of environment
- Enemies will behave different by who they are (SWAT is organized, gang members are more "gung ho")
- 3 protag will feel natural and will not feel like a balancing act, allowing the game to feel more natural. (if Franklin and Michael are in a car, you can drive as Michael, switch to Franklin, and Michael will continue driving)
- Shooting stat will affect steadiness of aim, amount of ammo you can carry, aim stability, etc. (You can go to the shooting range to increase stat. Also goes up if you kill an enemy. You are rewarded for better kills like head shots)
- Car horns can be customized
Obviously, the most exciting thing in that list is CUSTOMIZABLE CAR HORNS :lol
-
I'm excited about the damage bit myself. One thing that concerns me..."you can go to the shooting range". I hope this is limited to just guns and maybe a driving school. I really don't feel like going to a gym or food places to keep my health and stamina up.
-
I love how they say Grand Theft Auto Online, makes it almost sound like a diffrent identity then GTA 5. I mean they could have said GTA 5 Multiplayer or GTA 5 Online.
Mmmmmmm I feed on speculations! :hat

#Grand Theft Auto 5 features a dog named Chop, who can be outfitted with different collars and accessories. The heart-rending part? You can lose him.
#the game features 15 species of wild animal, all of whom can be killed for sport and, one assumes, nutrition.

I might just kill him first thing so his imminent death isn't looming over my head.
-
I'll keep him as long as I can, and call him Call Of Duty Dog for as long as that is.
-
I'll keep him. Just so it hurts all the more when I lose him. :sadpanda:
-
Maybe I'll see if I can get a bear to maul him.
-
"If your dog is lost, you don't just sit around and wait for him to come back, you get off your ass and find that fuckin dog"

I'll be blading around in booty shorts hanging up "Lost Professor Fancy" posters everywhere.

I don't like tennis, so can I still get a 100% in the game if I skip all those in-game tennis mini games? :lol
-
I suppose a nice incentive would be to unlock a cheat where you bat explosive tennis balls at things.
Actually, holy fuck that would be awesome. Like the 'splode-fu cheat from GTA4.
-

What cheat is that???
-
It's been years since I played the game now (hard to believe it's been that long since 2008), but I remember there being a cheat to make all your punches and kicks result in exploding or badly damaging anything you hit with it. So people would go flying, cars would explode in one or two hits. My friends and I lovingly labeled it "Splode-fu". :D
Okay, no I found it. It was the Super Punch, and was in The Ballad Of Gay Tony. Number was 276-555-2666.
-
Damn. That must have been expansion only.
-
Did you play the expansions? Much better than the main game imo.
-
Just preordered this :metal
-
Did you play the expansions? Much better than the main game imo.
Negative. I could care less about the story honestly. I just fuck shit up and cause mayhem.
-
The expansions are still much better for that.
-
How so?
-
Was the armored tank vehicle only in TBoGT? Cuz if so, then that. That makes it better.
-
How so?
There are a lot more guns (that are more fun, like the explosive sniper rifle, explosive shotgun, and grenade launcher), parachutes, an attack helicopter that's a lot cooler than the stock one, new bikes, and as said before some damn cool cheats (exploding punches, etc.). I just picked them up and it's given me complete new ways to fuck shit up! :lol
-
It also raised the height for how high you could fly copters so you could parachute out.

But you're cool with killing thousands of innocent civilians??? :lol It was amazing in Red Dead Redemption. My buddy and I used to see who could kill the most bears before getting mauled by one. I think I hold the record with 7.

Knowing R*, you'll probably have to register your hunting rifle, take a course, and buy new stamps every time you want to shoot a deer.

Don't get me wrong, I know what GTA is all about; and you have a valid point there. Just saying it has been their policy not to have any animal in older GTAs. What's next? Children in the game?
Knowing R*, you'll probably have to register your hunting rifle, take a course, and buy new stamps every time you want to shoot a deer.
You are right, I think that would likely be the case. Or, something like you can still go "hunt" for animal without a "license", but you would also earn a wanted level or something.
-
I was pretty taken aback the first time I ended up killing a dog in Assassin's Creed III, but, as twisted as it sounds, you'll just get used to it as you play the game. Happened to me in AC3 and RDR.

Regardless, I am soooooo looking forward to playing this game! :metal
-
I don't mind hunting in the game, but I won't partake in it unless it's something to do with a main story mission. Not a fan of hunting unless it's hunting for the most dangerous game of all...man :sadpanda:
-
Meh...I will gladly hunt all those cute little AI Bambis, preferably with an RPG in da face. :hat
BTW can't wait for tomorrow, I love that they called it GTA Online and not GTA 5 Online or something.

Yeah, that was always fun. It got fucking hard though when two bears would team up on you and they kill your horse :lol

I think Red Dead Redemption made me literally scream like a little girl when I was trying to explore near Fort Mercer and a cougar just straight up one-shotted me from behind. Never saw him coming. Never went exploring the wild on foot again. :lol

Exactly how it'll happen in real life, except your neck will be broken before you even hit the ground. Of all of the ways to be killed by animals, that's probably the single best option. Treadwell fought for a few minutes. Wild cat attacks are the nature version of modern hangings, but without any anxiety.

I find it interesting that Roackstar is calling this GTA Online and Not GTAV Multiplayer...
Any chance they are going to surprise everyone with a stand alone GTA MMO??
-
It's amazing how the map is bigger than GTA IV, San Andreas, and Red Dead Redemption combined
-

That blows my mind. Maybe it's because you were limited to foot travel and horseback, but RDR seemed fucking massive.
-
and I always thought San Andreas had a big ass map too.
-

They have in past interviews talked about how they always intended GTA to be a MMO but the technology at the time have not been enough. Maybe this time it's diffrent? Although i doubt we actually get a MMO, we may instead get something equally exciting.
I'm very excited to see what they have installed for us!
-

damn, that really is insanely large. I thought SA had the biggest map of the Rockstar games. RDR seemed huge but there was a lot of open space and not a fast way to travel the land.
-
Speaking of the large map, Here's a great interview with Rockstar (https://www.buzzfeed.com/josephbernstein/way-beyond-anything-weve-done-before-building-the-world-of-g) about a bunch of stuff in GTA V. Among the things talked about is the map:
"I want to stress that not only is this world huge but it’s absolutely handcrafted. Every little bit of this world has had a large number of extremely talented artists pore over it. There’s always something to discover, something weird or interesting to see or interact with. It’s absolutely not a massive, empty world. We’ve considered the placement of every tree. We’ve simply not copied buildings around the map or procedurally generated the terrain to pad it out. It’s all handcrafted, all unique, and we’ve gone over it all again and again and again to make sure there’s enough layering of detail that I don’t think many people will ever see everything we’ve put into the world. That in itself, though, means that most people will have different experiences."
It's very exciting to me that even though the map is so huge, there won't be big, empty locations with copy pasted textures and objects like in San Andreas or Just Cause 2. I just pre-ordered the other day, getting more and more excited for the release. I'm sure tomorrow's online news will make it all the more unbearable waiting for September 17th to get here :biggrin:
-
Usually all GTAs are like that, which is why I always find all the pigeons (or whatever the hidden objects are) because they are often in the places that have something different and interesting about them that you wouldn't of noticed before.

The beating heart one in IV was awesome.
-
I'm really glad to hear that. I really do love large maps in open world games, but only if the whole map is interesting, like in Saints Row 2. My main problem with RDR's map is while it was beautiful-looking, there was a whole lot of nothing going on in the desert and SR3's Steelport for being pretty samey all throughout the town.
-
I wonder how this compares to Skyrim's map size..

Just a little more than a month left! :caffeine:

It's live: https://www.rockstargames.com/V/GTAOnline
Highlights:
*Living online world (Free mode)
*Content creater (you can build your own races and deathmatches and post them online)
*All the classic online modes
*Earn money through heists and jobs
*Buy garage and fill with cars, customize your character in many ways
I have to let this sink in....
-
So is it more or less the same as playing single player... only connected to the internet and with different types of missions.... That's. Fucking. Awesome. I've waited so long for this.

Not entirely unfortunately, it comes with limits though but here's info from the site:
Grand Theft Auto Online is a dynamic and persistent online world for 16 players that begins by sharing gameplay features, geography and mechanics with Grand Theft Auto V, but will continue to expand and evolve after its launch with new content created by Rockstar Games and the Grand Theft Auto community. Grand Theft Auto Online takes the fundamental Grand Theft Auto concepts of freedom, ambient activity and mission-based gameplay and makes them available to multiple players in an incredibly detailed and responsive online world.
In Grand Theft Auto Online, players have the freedom to explore alone or with friends, work cooperatively to complete missions, band together to participate in activities and ambient events, or compete in traditional game modes with the entire community, all with the personality and refined mechanics of Grand Theft Auto V.
Players can invest in their character through customizing their appearance, improving their stats, owning customized vehicles, purchasing personal property, and taking part in missions, jobs and activities to earn reputation and cash to open up new opportunities to rise through the criminal ranks. The world of Grand Theft Auto Online will constantly grow and change as new content is added, creating the first ever persistent and dynamic Grand Theft Auto game world.
Access to Grand Theft Auto Online is free with every retail copy of Grand Theft Auto V and launches on October 1st.

Oh wells, that's still kind of cool. :metal
Absolutely, there are a ton of more info but I leave it to these guys to hype it up more:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nYIO-mkz10
They have seen GTA Online at Rockstar North in Scottland so they have lots of interesting things to say.
Highlights from the video:
*Living online world (Free mode)
*Content creater (you can build your own races and deathmatches and post them online)
*All the classic online modes
*Earn money through heists and jobs
*Buy garage and fill with cars, customize your character in many ways
*Your in game AI will react to your voice when talking through a mic
*There will be unique characters/missions only on MP that are not in SP
*Characters from GTA V's single player will appear but will not be playable. (Not sure if this means the 3 main guys or side characters only or both)
*GTA Online is set before the events from the single player story
*"Everything you can do in GTA V, you can do in GTA Online."
*Heists, Coop Missions, Gang Attacks, Death Matches, Races, Sports activites (golf, tennis, shooting range)
*"Ambient Events" (holdups of delivery stores, armored van robberies, crate drops)
*Import/Export vehicle missions are in
*You can set a bounty on another player for another player to claim
*Carrying cash around is dangerous because other people can kill you and take a portion of it from your dead body. You must deposit the cash into banks now to keep it safe.
*You can invest into the stock market in GTA Online too
*You can buy property in GTA Online
*Betting on an outcome of competitive matches
*Customize weapons, appearance, vehicles
*Ability to create content and missions from basic tools that will eventually "grow and grow"
*When you talk through your headset, your in game character will move his lips to simulate talking as well
*You can FINALLY hear what the other player is listening to on the radio when you're in the same car.
*Removing a mask after robbing or performing a crime will get rid of your wanted level
*You can shout into your headset when you're robbing a shopkeeper to which the in game a.i of the shopkeeper will respond to the urgency of your shouting. (More aggressive you are, more scared the NPC will be and fill the bag with money quicker)
*The leader of the crew (the guy who did the hold up) can decide to split the cash between him and his crew members unevenly or fair
*You can set your "mood" when at the beginning of GTA Online to let other players know how you feel (think facebook)
*You can buy better cribs
*Good cribs have their own private garages from 2 car size to 10 car size
*Convertibles can have their tops pulled down or up
*"RP Points" are mentioned in the video. Exp points most likely
*If you create a mission, a blue dome called a "Corona" appears with your name, score, ranking (how many people liked it)
'There's an ability to sort through missions
*You can share your weapons, ammo, cash
*Ability to stealth-kill (crouching behind enemies with one hit kills)
*There are taunt animations. Flipping someone off was mentioned as one
*"The Feed" is GTA Online's version of social networking (emails, texts etc.)
*You can "insure" your car to replace it in case it gets blown up, stolen, etc.
*If you leave your car on a street and head to the other side of the city, your car will still be there. It will not disappear unless it gets stolen or destroyed
*Banks allows for 3 options "Pause, Withdraw, Transaction Log"
*When you're in your crib, people can buzz your door for permission to come in. You can look through a CCTV camera to see who's buzzing and choose whether to let that person in or not.
*Weasel News is on your cribs' TV. You can watch other people with certain wanted levels being chased by police.
*TV Shows are back and watch-able on your TV.
*Heists have "20 different components". One example is robbing a "Titan" airplane.
*Some of the Jets can carry up to 10 people
*There is an "ambient" soundtrack that plays during special moments . The example in the video was when they successfully took off with the Titan plane and a soundtrack played.
*On the far West coast, it looks like there might be a small town that isn't part of Los Santos. In the video, they suggest it might be an industrial complex or small town.
And all this is on current gen consoles....

I am disapoint to see this thread languishing on page 2 since we are weeks away from what I believe will be the most astonishing thing to happen to gaming yet.
I was playing GTA IV online last night and it was fun. But I realised I was only playing it cos I wished I was playing GTA V already.
I've just got my very own place and I'm living on my own for the first time ever.......I cannot wait for this game to be released 'cos at that point I won't have any need for human interaction or feelings of any sort. I can live like a virtual psycopath and not feel guilt :P (irony is that if I was a psycopath I wouldn't really feel guilt anyway. I feel guilty about looking forward to playing a game that allows me to be a remorseless psychopath. I get bogged down in pop psychology).
-
I hated GTA IV online. The fact that everyone shows up on the radar completely ruins it.
-
I loved the free mode in GTA IV. Total chaos and mayhem when you joined a full server. Good times! :metal
Can't wait for GTA 5 and GTA Online although a bit unsure if I should dust off my old 360 or wait for the PC to be announced. :-\
-
It's still quite often full. I think that has something to do with people killing time for the new release.
I'm not computer game design expert at all..........but some people have figured out how to manipulate the environment on the multi player modes. Like building huge ramps at the airport with spinning helicopter roter blades that catapult you in to the ocean.
To be honest though it can get a bit monotonous.
I'm plumping for the 360 version as always. I like to kick back on my settee and just blow crap up. It's very cathartic.

Yea that's "the simple trainer" tool. It's alot of fun to use, it let's you spawn in whatever you want like cars, helis, buildings, mods....you name it. You can do whatever you want with the game.

Yea but I'm talking Xbox. I see how it can be done on a PC. But I don't really understand how games on a 360 could be cracked like that.

Apparently you can't run Windows on 360 because it's built on x86 cpu and 360 uses Power PC. You could use Linux though but to be honest it's to techy for me to follow all the steps. So still, I have...

Because they are naming this the official trailer i'm a bit curious if something has change or it's just to hype the game up until the release. Or maybe it's just because it's including both single and multi gameplay. We'll see I guess....

Pre-ordered from Amazon so I don't have to bother with the stores. I've even heard some stories of games showing up a day or so early.

Rockstar hires real gangsters for 'Grand Theft Auto V' voices (https://www.theverge.com/2013/9/4/4693052/gta-v-features-real-gang-members-as-voice-actors)
This has to be classified as dedicated research. :lol

WHY WHY WHY could this game not have come out in May instead of two weeks after my final semester starts?
Side bar...
I just looks that the OP of this thread... I posted it in October of 2011. Time flies.
-
WHY WHY WHY could this game not have come out in May instead of two weeks after my final semester starts?
This right here.
I'm two weeks into working on a Doctorate degree and there isn't a snowballs chance in hell that I'm gonna be able to have any time to play the game >:(
-
Or how about 5 monthes ago before I sold my Xbox360. I am seriously considering buying a PS3 just for this game.

Sounds like you guys didn't grow up listening to V-Rock! Cuz when you guys are at schools, we are shoplifting! :metal

I plan to play this game for 8 hours a day. I will spend the other 16 hours thinking about playing this game.
At no point during the 8 hours I play this game will I think about the 16 hours I don't play this game.
-
Out of curiousity, what will be the very first thing you guys are going to do for your first ever play thru? There are seemingly soooooo many things to do there, I really don't know what I wanted to do first. :lol I don't know, many drive around town and get familiar with my hood? :lol
-
I usually just do the mandatory missions until I'm let off the leash, then go exploring. Until whatever limitations are keeping me from exploring further irk me into doing more missions.

The same thing I do every time I play a GTA game for the first time, which is drive around and goof off.

Besides doing the introduction mission I will probably drive around for a bit and have a look around. For some reason I usually always stick with the missions for a couple of times before I start exploring. This time though it will be a bit diffrent given that the 3 characters live on diffrent locations which means you get to explore unintentionally by doing their missions.
-
I tend to follow the story very closely. Often, it's a great way to learn the city, and I enjoy the free roam aspect more when I have unlocked more things in the game, like when I have completed the story for example.
Yesterday I also pre-ordered the collectors edition of the strategy guide, so next Monday at midnight, I'm going to the store to pick it all up. :)

The Official GTAV map:
*Spoiler*

I hope that map is more populated than it appears, and that green areas don't mean "SA-style fuck all". The city area alone looks plenty big enough though, I guess.

My thoughts exactly.
-
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this map supposed to be bigger than all the former GTA maps put together aswell? Judging by the size of the city blocks and the airport, I don't think it's anywhere near that big.
Definitely seems to be too much green aswell, as mentioned. At least with SA you had three major metropolitan areas to offset the more rural areas, but this map clearly has just one and then a whole lot of not much else going on in the rest of it.
-
Everybody just hooooold your horses! :lol
Rockstar rarely disappoint imo when it comes to detail in their games so i'm sure they have filled that map with absolutly everything they could do to make it breath life because that to me is so damn more important than driving around in an empty 700km2 big map. That's basically Rockstars signum, making their game feel alive. It's a mathematical nightmare to decide the map seize in conjunction with how much you could put into the world to make it feel alive. Meaning: they would have no problem making a big ass map, to make every inch on the map feel relevant and elaborate on the other hand is a diffrent matter. Another thing you'll have to throw into the mathematical equation is the fact that it's being buildt to run on 6 year old hardware, atleast for the time being.
-
So I think I have confirmed that this is the actual map. After delaying my homework in the library, I present to you my findings.
First off, I started with a screen shot of a piece of the gameplay video. You can clearly make out the golf course in the corner of this image.
(https://imageshack.us/a/img854/6620/4lfj.jpg)
Looking at the map that we now believe to be legit, you can clearly see a golf course. If there is more than one, I can't find the other(s).
(https://imageshack.us/a/img534/7509/ouh8.jpg)
Now, after a little rotation and scaling down, I matched the screen shot from the gameplay video with the map. I have colored coded three very recognizable features that are shared between the map and the screen shot. The edges of the golf course align and the green color shows that the series of intersections is spot on. The blue shows a very distinguishable s-bend in the road/highway. The orange is simply a large curve in the road that has been pointed out mainly to show it proximity/alignment to the rest of the map.

(https://img6.imageshack.us/img6/1354/orp6.jpg)
I declare this map legitimate.

Nice work Detective Chino! :police:

Pedestrians video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEqyRZks3hw)
Highlights:
* 5 times as many pedestrians as GTA IV
* If you were to follow a pedestrian, you would see them going through a routine. Like going to work, going home, see their social life, etc.
* If someone witnesses you commit a crime, they might call the police, film you on their smart phone, or try to fight back.
* Can chat with some pedestrians in order to obtain quests.
-
Looks fine to me. A big city with lots of open areas. I mean they did seem to create more areas under water and it still is current gen so I never expected it to be the biggest thing ever.

Those two I bolded ain't exactly new features. :)

The video shows that it's alot more sophisticated then before though.
As far as I know you have never been able to interact directly to pedestrian unless it's a cut scene.
"Film on their smartphone" I wonder if those clips will be shown somehow because I know that in multiplayer you can follow other players being chased by the cops on a livefeed through a TV in your apartment. The cops have a camera on their helis.

He also said that "bitches don't know shit."

Widespread leaks have started, I've seen videos, lots of pages from the guidebook and handfuls of things posted already this morning. Be careful if you want to be spoiler free.
Excited for Tuesday! I wish GTA and DT were coming out same day, that would be heaven.

It just occurred to me that this game gets released in just under twelve hours from now.

Nice review by CVG:

First cheat code has been discovered.
Spawn helicopter:
PS3: O, O, L1, O, O, O, L1, L2, R1, Triangle, O, Triangle
Xbox 360: B, B, LB, B, B, B, LB, LT, RB, Y, B, Y
Looks like Rockstar has gone back to the button entering technique. I like that a lot. It allows me to get the cops off my back more easily while tearing down the highway.

Gamefly just shipped my copy :metal

Holy crap this game is fantastic. Looks so beautiful and the world feels so alive. I drove up through the mountains just for the hell of it, nearly ran into some guys racing ATVs, and hit a deer.

Made a deal with my coworker... he will lend me his ps3 for a few months so I can play GTAV and in return when I give him the system back, I let him keep the game.... wooo!! I should be playing some time this week maybe even tonight if he brings the system in today.
-
Should be picking this up after work today. There's a promotion at Toys 'R Us that gets you one of the following games with purchase. Suggestions?
-GTA IV PS3/360
-GTA: Episodes of Liberty City PS3/360
-Max Payne 3 PS3/360
-Red Dead Redemption PS3/360 (Played an hour at a friends, not bad, but eh)
-RDR: Undead Nightmare PS3/360
-Midnight Club: Los Angeles Complete Edition PS3/360
-LA Noire PS3/360 (Already played)
-
Gta 4 and RDR are the best of that bunch but I liked Max Payne 3 and its a different type of game than the others so that may be the way to go.
-
My copy is sitting in my car. The suspense is killing me. I was suppose to get it at midnight, but relations got in the way of that. Now I'm stuck, sitting here in the library, and can't touch it until at least 7:30 tonight :(

Fuck today.

FUUUUCK. I forgot I'm going to have to sit through that >:(

Gah, that's right! Fortunately, I've got an alternate activity to keep me occupied for the 20-30 minutes it'll likely take...should make the game more enjoyable as well. :angel:
-
I can't afford it :sadpanda:
Was just fixing to echo that sentiment, and then my mom dropped by with a birthday cheque. Really not too interested in playing right now, but since I'll get a free RDR out of it, I guess now is the time.

Rockstar has advised a fan on Twitter not to install the “play” disc of the game.
GTA V ships on two discs on Xbox 360, the first of which, the “install” disc, is the only one required to be installed. The installation weighs in at just over 7GB. Some fans were expecting to also install the second disc for better performance, but apparently that’s not the case.
The publisher said to expect more details at launch.

That definately sucks, but do you know what's even worse?
Having 3 quizzes, a lab practical and an exam all in the same week of GTA 5's release. Probably won't get to play it until sometime this weekend. :'(
-
You know what doesn't suck? Being off today and tomorrow.
-
Just read up on the special edition, and that's a bunch of bullshit. Giving away trinkets, and non game effecting stuff like tattoos or character mods is fine and dandy. Having to pay $20 extra for game effecting abilities and weapons isn't right, though.

Nice job driving straight into the military base while trying to escape the cops, Nel. :|
They blew me up with a god damn tank. :lol

Just got a transfer of my free spending funds that are for the next few weeks from my mom (she handles my money for me since I've got so much other shit to worry about at the moment heh)
So tempted to go and impulse buy this. Probably shouldn't though.

I just fought frickin' hallucinogenic aliens. Holy fuck. I'm loving how nuts this game is.

There are a total of 50 letter scraps to be collected... oh no, another one of those "hidden packages" thing... I love and hate that. :hat

Great. Maybe you guys can send me your copy of GTA IV then? :neverusethis:
Glad to hear the new game is as good as it looks!

Fuck, when are they going to release the PC version, they haven't even told us that much. I'm trying not to watch videos of this game but I can't help myself. :\
Holy shit that fuel can...I will set fire to everything. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
Also is it me, or do you die much faster in this one?
-
Nah, blob. Don't have mine anymore. :P
If you're getting IV as well, you should play that one first, man. I really see it being a step down if you do it second (still a good game in it's own right, though.). Just seems like V clipped off a lot of unnecessary clutter and brought back the zanier attitude. Not Saints Row levels, mind you, but still. GTA4's serious tone combined with the still-crazy radio stuff just kind of clashed.
And I do agree, Bol, characters seem to die way faster/easier in this one. Hell, run too long and you use health. Maybe upping each characters' stats will make it better.
-
I dislike IV immensely and find it boring as hell.

I've only played part of that game, but to me it was a huge improvement over SA, which was everything done wrong to the extreme. After a week trying to play SA, I gave up and got rid of it. Awful.
-
I hated SA for literally years. Then one day I decided to give it another chance almost at random, and it clicked, and this was so long after its release that I went and got GTA IV almost immediately after I was finished with it. I will admit though, I liked GTA IV a LOT more than SA. It's more refined in a lot of areas, removes some of the more annoying traits from SA, and is a much smoother and tighter gameplay experience overall. Though you would expect all these kinds of improvements that given the four years and generational gap between the games.

The mechanics were much better in IV, but SA had variety. Cities, beaches, towns, wilderness, more activities, and more to do in general. Much like GTA V but on a smaller scale. IV was just... everything was the same and there was nothing to do apart from story/side missions. And bowling with Roman.

For me the attempt at variety is what killed SA. I just wanted to do missions, not menial crap like sitting in a gym tapping the buttons because my player apparently atrophied all of his muscles running around, or being warned that my girlfriend is sad because I wanted to actually play the game instead of carefully driving her to a restaurant and back, or some pointless turf war that I'm going to die in because the game has given me hardly any weapons. I know you didn't need to do all of that, but it nagged you constantly with that crap, and I was getting no payoff from the missions either.
Gah, just thinking about that game makes me mad. They tried too hard to add something to the game, and went completely the wrong way about it, and ended up just bogging the game down with stuff I don't want to do that completely detracted from what makes those games fun.

The fact that the muscle and stamina skills took so long to get up, and then could actually decrease, greatly annoyed me aswell and was probably my biggest gripe with the game. That is, until I applied a mod that prevented either skill from ever decreasing again. PC master race. :lol
The girlfriend thing, I don't remember being annoyed by it, though my memory is probably foggy. After being introduced to those mechanics in a story mission I don't remember ever having to do that stuff ever again, because you didn't actually need to do that unless you wanted 100%, but why bother going for 100% if you can't stand half the things you need to do to get there? I certainly don't bother. The dating game doesn't appear as part of the story again until one mission later on where you had a choice of dating a girl over and over to get something from her, or killing her and taking it. You can probably guess which direction I went in.
You don't get nagged about turf wars either once you leave Los Santos, and you don't have to worry about it again until the last part of the game when you return there. By that point you have so many weapons and so much ammunition that they become fairly trivial to do. And, IIRC you didn't even need to take over every neighbourhood to unlock the final mission, just a certain percentage of them.
Though if you're playing on a console, the muscle/stamina thing could very well be reason enough alone to not ever play it. :lol
-
I was playing on PC, but that doesn't matter. If a game needs mods or cheats to be enjoyed, then it's a poorly designed game. ;)
I didn't even get to the point of unlocking any other areas, and I recall having fuck-all for weapons at the time I just gave up on the game. Eventually I just cheated and messed around with weapons and jetpacks and flying to the other areas I hadn't unlocked, and was still bored of it after a day.
I'll never bother playing it again given that they've released far better newer games that make it obsolete. Man, I really need GTA V. And I don't even game at all. :lol
-

I'd never deny that it's poor design, but what I was saying is that it can be circumvented in order to enjoy the game. ;)

That's a good point. You very well could forget about SA and just play IV. It is by far the better game.

It would have to circumvent a whole lot more than that for me to enjoy the game, but it's the thought that counts. :biggrin:
In regards to the stats in the new game, do they go down like in SA, or is it more like an RPG sort of thing where it only builds? I have a feeling it's the latter, which would be preferable.
-
I put SA far over IV. CJ had both personality and he changed with the times. In IV you just fucking Nicko who was just miserable all the time. SA had SLJackson, Chris Penn, and Peter Fonda. SA had Roman. SA was fun and funny. The only thing remotely comical about IV was the radio, and even that was hit or miss. The only way IV was better was with the engine; specifically the Euphoria physics middleware.
As for V, spent an hour or so dicking around. Killed a bunch of cops. Porked a titty dancer. Certainly seems to be an improvement over IV. That said, I haven't been impressed with the graphics, and the new and livelier city hasn't really appeared yet. To be fair, I haven't gotten very far from Franklin's neighborhood, so I suppose that might change. I won't let me change off of Franklin, for some reason. I suspect I have to complete a few more missions before I can play as Trevor or the other guy.
And I have noticed you seem to die a whole lot quicker. Perhaps armor will improve that.
-
Yeah, the other two guys are unlocked throughout their stories. Keep doing the main missions and you'll get there. I was actually surprised how soon you unlock Michael. Trevor is fucking awesome. He reminds me of a white trash version of Mel Gibson going apeshit in Lethal Weapon 1.
@ Blob - Thankfully the tedious stats are gone; those annoyed me as well. There are stats this time around, but they're all useful ones. Stamina, strength, driving, shooting, stuff like that.
-
I played the hell out of SA and loved every second of it. IV did click with me more when they released the episode content. TboGT was really fun to play.
I also wanna add that GTA IV MP was alot of fun with friends and I still play that from time to time. Can't wait for the MP part of V.
-
The best part about IV was the ballad of gay tony. That put all other GTA games to shame even though it was only an expansion pack
-
The physics engine is great, and I REALLY wish I was playing on a PS4 because that 15 minute recording buffer would have come in handy!
I had just picked up Chop, and was playing fetch with a baseball. I had an idea, hoped it would work, and threw the ball across the street. Chop dutifully bolted after it and started his way back across the street when (with perfect timing) he was suddenly flung 20 feet from being hit by a car. :lol :rollin :lol
-
This game is amazing. My only complaint is that I am forced to use triggers for gas and brake. I prefer buttons for that for some reason. This the first GTA were that's not an option. As others have said.... I don't see me ever playing IV again.
-
Yeah, TBoGT beat the hell out of the rest of IV. It was the tone that made all the differnce. IV was just depressing as hell. The biker DLC was gritty and dirty, which was an improvement over "depressing as hell," but still not a great use of the engine. TBoGT had a luster to it that really made it more enjoyable. The exploding shotgun rounds didn't hurt, either.
-
Tried re-installing GTA 4 on the new HDD the other day. Then spent an hour or two trying to research why it kept crashing on startup because of some xlive.dll fault. Even more frustrating was moving the xlive.dll from every directory associated with the game and STILL having the problem. Grrrr....
-
Interesting, Cozmo. I'm having the same exact problem. Every time I start it up, it almost always (I've only seen it not fail once) crashes, but then starts back up and I can play. Recently, Games For Windows Live crashes 9 out of 10 times, then let's me keep playing GTAIV....except for recently, when it gets to the character collage loading screen, it'll crash before the actual game starts. Very odd. I'm gonna have to look into this after work... Fucking Games For Windows is ridiculous.
-
GfW Live is the most annoying software ever buildt on this earth.

Played this game all day yesterday, absolutely love it. Definitely better than GTA IV. And it's pretty surreal to see how accurately they've portrayed some of the sites I've been to many times (I live in the LA area).

Funny, I've pretty much ignored GTA all day, in favor of playing Skyrim.

So I was originally waiting with playing this until a friend was coming over, but he's been a dick to me in the last days (drama that has happened before), and I was like "screw that". And I installed the game earlier today, and just spent my first 3 ˝ - 4 hours in it.
Overall, I'm blown away. This takes me back to the golden days of GTA, which for me was spent in San Andreas. This new Los Santos has hints to the old one that I loved, but also has so much new stuff, and the new layout is just incredible. Before the game came out, I was skeptical at the whole "playing as several characters"-aspect, but I must say that it works much better than I had thought. I love it how Michael and Franklin meet each other, and the small nod where they sorta meet in the first mission after the prologue.
Really enjoying the game so far, more than the fourth one. That one felt a bit too gritty and dark, in comparison to this one which has more similarities to San Andreas, with a lot of colors, and a more fun aspect imo. The only negative thing I can say, is that my TV is probably not the best for playing these kind of games. It's a great TV, but it's kinda small, only about 20 inches or so. I feel like these games probably work better on a HUGE TV. It's mostly noticeable while driving really fast, when a lot of it just feels very blurry.
But overall, awesome stuff. Can't wait to play more, tomorrow.

This game is fun!

Well, I caved in and bought it. Grades be damned :metal
Waiting for it to install...

Good man

The "legalize weed" guy mission :rollin :rollin :rollin
Just did this. Holy shit. :lol
-
Franklin's voice is a perfect copy of CJ. Absolutely identical. I figured it was the same actor until I looked it up.
-
Just bought the game and installed it and played a for an hour or so last night. Wow, what a game, this is actually my first console gta purchase. I've always been a die hard PC gta gamer but I didn't want to get left about what everyone is talking about (kinda like I've never watched Breaking bad).
I can't wait to play later tonight.
-
Should have this tomorrow. My coworker is bringing the ps3 for me to borrow to work and then I'll buy the game on my way home. Sadly I have to work Saturday and Sunday but I took Monday off so I will be playing it all day.
-
Interesting, Cozmo. I'm having the same exact problem. Every time I start it up, it almost always (I've only seen it not fail once) crashes, but then starts back up and I can play. Recently, Games For Windows Live crashes 9 out of 10 times, then let's me keep playing GTAIV....except for recently, when it gets to the character collage loading screen, it'll crash before the actual game starts. Very odd. I'm gonna have to look into this after work... Fucking Games For Windows is ridiculous.
I tried it back to back countless times and it would crash, just after displaying the "accessing DVD drive" cursor. Tried uninstalling GFWL. No dice. Removed all traces of xlive.dll. Still crashed on xlive.dll (that I KNOW wasn't even there). I haven't gone to the trouble of uninstalling and reinstalling yet, but I may have to. Ridiculous. I've patched it to version 1.0.7 also. Nothing. Keeps crashing. REALLY pissed.
-
I finally got introduced to Trevor last night.... That guy is hilarious :lol :lol
-
So do you really have to install an i-phone ap to train the stupid dog? That would make this my last ever R* purchase. All of these add-ons are really starting to piss me off.

I refuse to do that. I guess there is an android app too. It's called iFruit, I think. I saw another pop-up yesterday that said if I registered on some site, it'd unlock some ability in the game. I think they were increased driving stats or something like that. Fuck that. I shelled out $65 for this game, which didn't even get me all the stuff in the game seeing as I didn't want to hand over another $20 for stuff that's already there. Unless a coinciding app actually enhances the experience of the game, I'm not even going to look into it. Rockstar has made close to a BILLION dollars off this game already. I can't imagine, between development and marketing expenses, that this game cost any more than $250 million to produce. They got an amazing return on investment already, and the holiday season hasn't even come yet. I don't feel bad at all for being so against this.
I'm trying to think what Rockstar could offer that actually made people want to download an app. I can't think of anything other than maybe syncing your game to your phone for content sharing purposes. I think it'd be cool if I could take a pic in game, and then text it to a real-life contact through the phone in game, or play music off my phone while in game (I don't store music on my system).
-
What are these apps you guys talking about?
-
I got a message about downloading an iFruit app on my personal phone or tablet that can be used to train Chop.
https://www.vg247.com/2013/09/16/gta-5-ifruit-app-out-now-lets-you-trick-out-cars-and-train-chop-the-dog/
I guess there isn't an Android version.

I'm becoming quite irked myself. I cannot fathom how this is happening... I've done all you've done, plus uninstalled and reinstalled after deleting the cancer that is GfW. UGH! I'm gonna have to call up my computer genius bro and see if he can do anything...but this is very odd. At the very least it'll intrigue him...but hopefully I can come back here with good news and how to fix it. :censored
-
yeah. I take pains to keep my various identities unconnected. I don't want R* or M$ knowing my cell number. I mean, FFS.
-
Wait, the iFruit is a real app? I thought they meant find a way to download it for your character's phone in the game! :lol
Well, Chop, you were nice for that one mission, I guess.
-
From what I hear he serves his function perfectly without the app. That's for extra stuff, like tricks.
-
Played another 3-4 hours tonight. Right now I'm at the point where Trevor has met up with Michael, and I did the first mission when they had reunited. Great game.
-
Trevor's a mixed bag for me. He's batshit and funny, but... he kind of does something right at the start that pissed me off. :( But it did show that GTA4 and GTA5 take place in the same universe.
-
but... he kind of does something right at the start that pissed me off.
I can't think of anything that made me upset. What are you referring to?
-
He's referring to the first person Trevor killed. I was surprised by it, but I never liked the guy to begin with. Now that he was weak and all strung out on crank, it bothered me even less. I was more bothered by taking out the lieutenants.
As for the same universe, Lester made a reference to some Eastern European making moves in LC. Excluded him as an ally as he had a big mouth. :lol
-
Wait, am I missing something?
Spoilers, obviously.
You're talking about the boyfriend of the girl that Trevor was tapping, right? Does he bear some other significance I missed out on? Or was Nel just upset by the fact that Trevor killed an 'innocent?'
-
Hanging out with my roommate and he's playing it out in our living room. May just put it on my credit card tomorrow, holy fuck I want this game.

The guy he killed was from GTA 4. Barto may not have liked him, but I did. Kind of sucked to see that he was a meth head now. I was all "Oh hey, it's so-and-so! :D And he and Trevor are-- OH! OH SHIT! WHY?!" :'(
And damn it, are there spoiler tags on this forum or what? Nothing I do is working. :lol

I had the exact same thought at first. Then I decided he was no big loss. And no spoiler tags. Often comes up in the requests and suggestions thread, but never goes anywhere.
So my initial thoughts after playing a good chunk today: It makes up for everything that sucked about IV. The characters are all likeable. The environment is much brighter and livelier. It's made me laugh quite a bit, and a few times totally cracked me up. This is something R* had forgotten about for a while. Overall I like it.
For the downside, there are a few things wrong with it. The save game thing is a PITA. You get one autosave slot, and on the rare occasion that it asks if you want to overwrite it, declining will turn off autosave altogether. It also prompts you each time you start for a save location. Remember my fucking choice!
Some of the side characters are annoying as fuck, and you can't kill them. Franklin's aunt should already be dead; worthless cunt. Same goes for Stretch; verdicts still out on Lamar.
There are too many missions that start automatically. Relating back to the save game thing, anytime I go to a safehouse to make a unique save, it starts some silly-ass mission before I can get inside; often times with people I can't stand.
The reticle for most guns is way too small, and something tells me you're supposed to buy better ones online.
An interesting observation: Michael lives in a multimillion dollar home in Beverly Hills, and when the game starts he's got 7k to his name. Trevor is a psychotic hillbilly living in a trailer, and he's already got well over 100k.

I think I know what you're talking about.
Still pretty cool to see an old face.
-
I like Michael the most. Being the "main" character out of the three, I also feel like he is the easiest one to sympathize with. He's an interesting character because he has everything you could ask for - a big mansion, a beautiful wife and two kids, yet everything isn't what it seems, and he's actually quite a miserable character. It's interesting to see, and I can't wait to get further into the game where we learn more about his past.
-
Man, Mike's wife and kids piss me off to no end. Bunch of spoiled assholes. :lol
-

I really love this so much
-
So far, I have Michael and Franklin, I like both of their characters a lot. Franklin wants to do something with his life meaningful, which is pretty cool, and I also got to put a Kimbo Slice beard on him so now he looks beast. Michael, for as miserable as his family makes him is such an enjoyable character, and while he has a flair for dramatics, he actually seems like a really cool guy to get to know.
Loving this game so much.
-
Just found out you can quicksave via the phone. Wish I'd known that during one of the LMC missions. That's a real gamechanger.
Franklin's pad in the Hollywood Hills is awesome. Best safehouse in the franchise, me thinks. Now that I've moved out of Aunt Denise's dump, I wish I could torch the place and her.
R* is fucking evil. Turns out that the BAWSAC is only active when connected to R*'s servers. If you don't keep your Xbox online all the time, you can't invest in the companies you effect. Ironic that they're so contemptuous about Lifeinvader being evil, yet R* is now the apex predator of information hoarders.
-
So, I'll be playing, and my game will just cut off, go back to the start screen, and says my storage device messed up, and sends me back to my last save point which is always a bit back because I suck at saving, but it doesn't do this for any other game I play or have ever played. Am I fucked? I guess it could just be my xbox getting too hot, so I guess I'll have to take a break heh.

You can still invest in and affect the LCN stocks. Lester will send you tips. Generally his missions will affect competitors. BAWSAQ is global and is affected by the entire online community.
-
I really hope this game is optimized for the PC... and that the minor gripes and glitches a few of you have spoken about are addressed. It better be worth the wait, cause I sure as shit am not buying another console. Every time I have in the past five or so years has resulted in a dusty fucking box. No one likes a dusty box. NO ONE.

Not Beta Pharmaceuticals. That was only on the Bawsaq. Whoever the Life Invader competetitor was didn't seem to be on the LCN either. Regardless, I made a nice profit off of the cigarette company.

Anybody thinkin about doing a DTF clan for when online is up?
-
So last night I played long enough to buy some stocks, do a few assassinations, sell those stocks, steal a submarine for a story and deliver it... and then the power went out for half a fucking second. I hadn't saved yet.
I was even more worried that the game was in the process of saving and I would have a corrupted file, making me start from scratch. Thankfully I only lost about half an hour's worth of work.
-

that would be radular, so down for that
-
I'm not that far into the game but if someone does end up kidnapping Michael's entire family I would not give one shit.
-
It's a great game so far. Gonna try and get the story over with, then go back and do all the side objectives.
-
I haven't commented in this thread in a while, but I bought the game on Midnight Tuesday and I literally am watching the credits roll at the end of the game.
I won't give up any spoilers but GTA V is the most fun game I have possibly ever played. Now that I am done with the main missions I can go back and do all the fun stuff everyone else has been doing.
-
Just played this in my brother's house. This is so much win!!!! I'm not wondering the 5/5 reviews.. ;)
I haven't played Playstation in about 7 years but now I think I have to buy my own again. :tup
-
After playing as Trevor for a little bit I kinda wish the game had started in the desert and then moved into the city.
-
Man, Mike's wife and kids piss me off to no end. Bunch of spoiled assholes. :lol
Same here! Yet they are so typical LS. :lol
After playing as Trevor for a little bit I kinda wish the game had started in the desert and then moved into the city.
Some of Trevor's early missions are so intense and fun!!!! Only 22% into the game now, and some of the missions are definitely THE BEST in the series thus far!!! This game ROCKS!!!
-
I'm loving the cone of vision on the police. It makes it so much easier to escape. I find it's actually easier to just get on foot and hide in someone's pool, rather than drive down the freeway at 100mph.

How do I invest in the market?

-
I'm 21% into the game. The second big heist is coming. Really loving the game so far.
-
Me too. It's really fun. I'm about 39%. Gonna play more in a few :metal
-
I think you have to be on a computer?
Where?
-
IIRC, I was in Jimmy's room. I was just exploring the house and got on his computer and think I got on it there. I'm not sure where else, or if you can do it from your phone.
-
You can invest from the phone. Don't think I've actually used a real computer once. Go to the LCS website. BAWSAQ is hit or miss, and it seems to be down more often than not.
Personally, I've really sucked at investing, although part of that is the interface being pretty crappy. The graphs in particular are awful, and don't update very well. It also appears that the LCS stocks are fairly scripted. The evidence suggests that influencing a company's competition doesn't actually effect stocks, unless it's part of a story mission. You can blow up all of the Post-Op trucks you want, and it won't effect Go-Postal. There does appear to be evidence listening to a station you invest in has a positive effect, and the more claims you can cause for the insurance company the more money they'll make (I guess they're crappy and don't ever pay out on them).
Also, most of the stocks you pump and dump will rebound. Once you cause a company's crash, buy it back when they bottom out if you're interested in a long-haul investment.
-
I invested in amunation because I figured id be buying lots of guns and ammo as the game goes on.
-
I recovered someone's stolen bike, and a few days later (game time) got an email from him thanking me. Turns out, he was the young CEO/entrepreneur of a traded company, and tossed me $100k in stock options. :metal

I 'invested' $90k into this truck last night.

I think the most annoying flaw with this game is that you can't drop weapons you don't want or use anymore. I only want one pistol, one SMG, one sniper rifle and one shotgun. Everytime it defaults to the base 9mm it makes me want to use it on myself.
The other thing I don't get is what the point of numbering the save games is if they don't remain consistent. I'm pretty good about using keeping multiple, well organized saves, and this game makes that basically impossible.
On the bright side, this game is hysterical. Trevor's romance keeps cracking me up.

Agreed
Unless I haven't figured out how... I find it very annoying that I can't reload my weapon before I run through the clip. It's a pain when I'm in a fire-fight that calls for a lot of cover-taking. There are plenty of times where I'd be willing to lose the remaining rounds in the clip if it meant getting a fresh one in there.
-
On the 360 it's the B/red button to reload.
Don't know if it improves once skill does, but landing planes without flaps is a real PITA. I boosted a Shamal from the airport to uncover the undiscovered parts of LS, and it seems your two options are to slam the thing into the ground, or fly straight and level the whole length of the runway. In SA I was an awesome pilot, so I flew everywhere; had a ball. Not the case here. Also sucks that the two airports you can use don't have lighted runways. Impossible to see from the air.

Found an awesome list of hints and tips. About 10 of these were news to me, and pretty damned helpful.
https://www.gamingreality.com/2013/09/gta-v-tips-hints-and-tricks.html
And I'll add a few of my own:
Haven't seen it mentioned here, but if anybody else is having overscan issues where it cuts off the top of dialog boxes, that can be resolved in game by adjusting the "safe zone" setting.
The stock tips you see online don't really work. Like I said before, it seems mostly scripted. I've been absolutely terrorizing Meriwheather for days, and haven't seen any shift in theirs or Gruppe 6's stock. Thankfully it doesn't really matter anymore. Those dickhead FIB guys gave us each enough money to get by. At this point I'll wait until the end of the game, then complete the assassination missions once we all have enough money to get all Andrew Carnegie on that shit.
Trevor's truck is awesome. If you click -> a second time, the overhead flood lights will turn on and light up everything for 300'. Because of that I dropped about 20k upgrading it so it's bullet proof and really quick. Great performer and pretty much indestructible.
Seems to me the only cars actually worth upgrading are the ones you get in story missions. Each of their personal cars will always respawn back, with the upgrades.

Good link. As soon as you modify any car, it becomes yours. If you dump it somewhere before you get it in a garage, it gets towed to the impound. You can get it out for $250.
-
Cool, I had no idea. Still, I like the cars they give you. I've looked but I can't find a truck with a giant deer-smasher bumper and flood lights suitable for Trevor, other than the one he already owns.

Don't do this until Rock* releases a patch, because there's a bug where your car goes missing in certain instances. They're still figuring out the details.

Hell, if anything, I've had too many cars respawn in my garages. Hell, F had three of those white cars at his original safehouse, including two stacked in the garage, plus that POS green bike. Regardless, just boosted an Addler and gave it a kick ass paint job. Won't be driving it much, but it's a stunning car in just about every way.
-
Saw a hilarious video where every time the guy honks his horn next to motorcycle, the driver will accelerate, often crashing his motorcycle hilariously. Need to test that.
Also, had no idea you could respond to texts and messages. o.O I need to start trying the extra activities too. Been stuck with Trevor for a while now. I suck at sniping. And flying planes. Finally beat that mission after much hell.

Damn, they laid out one of the finest Mexican standoffs you'll ever see. You had 2 or 3 people flip during the lead in, and a perfect five or six stage build up of people before the shooting started. Anytime somebody in a Mexican standoff says "who the fuck are those guys?" you know it's golden. :lol

Man, at first Trevor was a hoot. He was psychotic in a cool and amusing way. Now he's just a depressing, annoying troublemaker. I'm opting not to whack him, mostly because I hate the FIB guy even more, but I'll be really happy if he just goes away.

So it turns out you can't plan heists after the scripted story missions. That's really lame. That was like half the appeal to me. Not sure what the point of training all of those losers was if you can't keep using them. As much as I like the game, R* continues to make me hate them.

I believe you will be able to plan heists in mutiplayer. Not that it makes it any better, but yeah...

I had two consoles that this happened on already. When I got the one I have now, before I even plugged it in I went to get the X clamps removed.
It's coming up 4 years old now and "touch wood" it's been ay ok.
I hope this is something that won't happen on the new consoles. But yea, really sorry to hear. It's a real PITA!!!

After seeing how badly M$ screwed up the original Xbox, I certainly wouldn't be buying the next gen just yet. They eventually did resolve the issue, but it took them a couple of years, and if you bought yours anyplace but an authorized dealer, you were completely screwed. I seem to recall a >50% failure rate on the original 360s, due largely to their insistence that it be released before Christmas. Sounds a good deal like Ford and their beancounting.
-
I know a guy in town who owns a computer/electronic repair shop. He's an authorized Microsoft dealer. He has 2 Xbox Ones sitting in his shop. One of them already doesn't work.
-
My friends and I already decided we'll be a support group and keep to the PS3 until the 2nd gen of the PS4 are released to avoid all that mess.
-
I don't plan to get back into consoles, but out of all the pros I'm seeing as a PC gamer, one of them is that if there's something wrong with my PC, I can almost always fix it myself and/or worst-comes-to-worst, buy a new part. Even if I were to buy a console again, it definitely wouldn't be anytime soon...after this last generation started, the whole 'launch day' bonanza seemed to dull a bit what with hoards of angry gamers damning MS and Sony for releasing faulty products.
Granted, it does indeed suck a big ole bowl of dicks having to wait for a PC release. But I'm all for the wait if it means an even more optimized version. I have no doubt my new behemoth will play it at max settings once it's released and boy oh boy...I cannot wait to see how it looks and plays. I'm trying to stay away from too many spoilers, but I never was one to play GTA for the story, despite the fact that I'm hearing this one is pretty grandiose and hilarious.
-
This is the first GTA where I've actually watched the cut scenes lol.
-
:lol Good to know, I'm replaying IV to bade my impatience, but I have literally never watched a cutscene. I mean, this is the third time I've played through the game, and I still don't know what the hell I'm doing the things I'm doing for. Nor do I care. If V can make me care...that'll be jaw-dropping.
-
I always watch the cutscenes, even though in IV they were painfully unpleasant. A lot of the cutscenes in 5 are just plain awesome; see the Mexican standoff for example.
-
Despite who Trevor kills, the his first scenes are fucking awesome in a psychotic badass kind of way. Specifically the "Hey there, cowboy! Do you mind that I fucked your lady? Oh, you don't because you're a DEAD man and the only sentient part of you left is stuck to the bottom of my boot?!" speech he gives. :lol
-
When he later conversed with the bit of brain on his shoe really cracked me up. Probably a continuation of the same (first) mission.
Tonight I busted into the army base and stole a jet.
This thing is badass.
Working on that myself. Cased the place, but my first attempt at breaking in failed terribly. Made a perfect parachute landing on the hangar from FL300, but alarms went off the second I touched down. Ensuing gunfight ended badly. Planning a second strategy now. Figure I could just assault the place, but I want to find a stealth option.

So are we starting a DTF crew?

I think I'm going to break down and get this game. It will be only the second GTA game I didn't buy on launch day (GTA 1 in 1997 being the other), but I probably only got halfway through GTA IV (only one I never beat), and honestly the desire to go back and beat it has never surfaced. But this thread is making me want to play GTA V. Damn you guys.

Once you started on GTA V, I highly doubt you will ever go back and play GTA IV. GTA IV ain't a bad game, per se; yet it feels like there are something missing, especially after playing GTA V now. It is just me, I can see myself going back to play GTA SA and VC before I would touch GTA IV again though. :hat
-
omg... I haven't had any interest in GTA (except fucking around in VC and SA years ago) but this thread is making me want to maybe possibly look into getting this.

Seriously R*, WTF? I just came outside to find my submarine parked in the street in front of the Vinewood safehouse. Am I supposed to buy a helicopter to transport the thing back to water?

Eh, open-world game glitches: They will always happen.

I've completed 34% or so, still really enjoying the game. Taking my time with it though. :)

Yeah, me too. I'm doing like a mission or 2 a night. With GTA IV, I completed the story in about 2 days of marathon sessions and I'm glad I'm taking my time now.

So I just picked up my first hooker and I don't know how they got that past the MSRB, because hot coffee got SA an adult rating and this makes hot coffee look like nothing.

Okay, so on a forum, I found a post from a dude claiming to have seen about 30 minutes of gameplay, working for a playstation magazine or whatever.
This post has some REALLY juicy stuff in it, and seeing as it might be BS or regarded as huge spoilers, I will post this in a very small font.
I don't expect anyone to believe all of it, but I do think it's very interesting, and hopefully a lot of it will be true.
I suggest copy + paste into Notepad or something. :)
So yeah, be fairly open minded for this, as I mentioned it might not be 100% correct or anything like that, but take it for what it is, and hopefully you'll find it interesting as well.
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.
the vast majority of these turned out to be true. cool

Jumped into the Online, camera freaked out, and then for the next 10 minutes it tried to find me a car race to no avail and I couldn't leave this race that I had no choice in. I think I'll wait awhile for them to kink out the immediate problems and then give it a go.

I'm a big fan, but I really wish you could buy one of those new. The lack of windows makes it a severe liability when people are shooting at you.

They don't come on. I tried that and switched back to a more protective bumper.

Now that I finally made some money completing the bank robbery I can begin doing some customization.
-

Only customize each character's main car. They always come back to you, whereas stolen cars are a PITA to keep track of. Once money stops being a concern, you can buy garages and stash really cars in them, but your safehouse garages aren't good for this.
-
I've found Franklin's Vinewoods house is the only safehouse garage that doesn't send your cars to Narnia, Trevor's out in the boondocks will randomly send them to Narnia, and return them every once and awhile.
-
I store all my cars in the the garages I have around the city for each character. It would be so much more convenient if if you could all just share a central parking garage or something.
Here's my newest creation. It's the completely electric vehicle. It's top speed lacks, but that's made up for with its acceleration and insane handling abilities. It also stops on a dime.

My Adder disappeared out of there for a while, and then magically returned at some random point in the future. As for Trevor's boondocks garage, the one time I parked my truck in there I returned to find it present but blown up.

Online worked perfect for me tonight after the second update. Gonna look into starting the crew now.

Death matches are awful. I can't stand how everyone is on the radar.

I already reverted back to Skyrim. One hundred percent has never held much appeal to me, so just mucking around doing triathlons and rampages just doesn't sound like much fun. Honestly, as cool as the game was, it was far too short. Should have implemented heist jobs for after the story ends.

I would have rather seen that than online.

I'm very much looking forward to doing online heists with friends.

With no heists how the hell am I supposed to save up $150MM to drop on the golf course? Wait for properties to make money and mess with the stock market?
-
Yeah, when I saw how expensive that was and how much money Mike had at the end of the game, I was wondering how the hell I was ever going to afford that. XD
Beat it yesterday. God, the third option is such a satisfying final mission.
-
I felt like the story was too short... but I think it's just me. There weren't enough heists (like I thought there would be) I'm working towards 100% which seems easier than other GTAs
-
Yeah, when you kind of go through the sequence of events in your mind (or the mission list on the GTA wiki :lol ), the plot did seem kind of on the short side. I would have fleshed out the characters' side stories a bit longer (Franklin and Stretch/Families vs. Ballas, Trevor and theLost MC, Triads and O'Neils, etc.) and more heists that the crew did for themselves rather than for Steve Haines.
-
Until the end, I completely forgot about Stretch. :lol
I looked at my playtime stats--man are they skewed.
Michael: 25 hours
Trevor: 15 hours
Franklin: 8 hours
-

Without spoilers you pretty much don't. The way to make enough money is to put off all of Lester's assassination missions until after the story so you'll start investing with 40 million or so. Since each one will get you between 50-100% of your investment, you can make over a billion dollars. Of course, since most people don't know to do that, they start those missions early and never get enough. I finished with about 80 million each, so if I were going to shoot for 100% completion I'd pretty much have to start over.
-
That's pretty lame.
I would have fleshed out the characters' side stories a bit longer (Franklin and Stretch/Families vs. Ballas, Trevor and theLost MC, Triads and O'Neils, etc.)
Absolutely. For rivals of those characters you spent maybe an hour or so each and then promptly forgot about them. It's almost comical how the game makes a big deal at the end to tie up all the loose ends but there's no real payoff outside of "ok, off to shoot another guy".
I think the biggest thing the game needed was another smaller city at the top of the map. There's just a lot of nothingness in SA this time. GTA:SA may have had a smaller map size wise but it sure doesn't feel like it compared to this one.
-
SA felt twice as big, easily. In fact, driving from one corner of the map to an opposite corner seemed to take 3x as long. Hell, I'd drive from CJ's house to the airport and boost a plane if I had to go to any of the Northern cities.
-
SA felt like so much wasted space to me. It was like 1/3 endless boring nothingness. GTA V has a lot of "empty" space too, but it manages to make it so much more interesting with the terrain, and features.
I think GTA V just has a layout that makes it easy to get around the map on the roads and highways.
-
Personally, the next time around I wish they would just cut the map in half and have way more modeled interiors to explore.
Like last night I found the playboy mansion and was so excited to go inside and look around, only to find out that doors/windows were just painted on. I've gone to so many cool places on the map, just to find out there's nothing to do there. It just takes you out of the world a little bit.
-
SA felt too big. I'd be cool if in next gen they kept the map about the same as it is in 5, and detail the fuck out of everything.
-

I'm all for detail over size too. Raw map size isn't impressive unless it adds something to the game. I still like a map to be memorable and not take forever to cross, while still being large enough to immerse me in the world.
I think GTA V struck a good balance of detail vs size, but I can only imagine what they could pull off in the next game on next generation consoles/PCs.

I don't understand why you can't revisit interior maps you've already been to either.

Agreed. I would like to see a map about the size of GTAV, accompanied by an island that is like 1/3 or 1/2 the size of that. Make it too far away to ever swim too, and only make it accessible by water craft or air craft. I think that'd be pretty cool.
-
One thing I did like about V is that the entire map was open from the get-go. I always hated being limited to one corner of the map for half the game.

That was fantastic. I remember in GTAIII, I would always do the flying tank cheat to cross the bridges :lol

When I got to the part of that mission where you need to take out Stretch, I sniped the wrong guy and got caught up in a Ballas firefight because by that point, I couldn't even remember what the fuck Stretch looked like. :lol
-

I found that pleasantly surprising. It would have been impossible to cut off sections of a map such as that, and I prefer it to the "small islands separated by bridges conveniently cut off" concept they always use.

As much as I am enjoying this game I do feel inclined to say this one has the worst radio stations... but I love the new score they added.
-

I agree. However, a big part of the problem is that you usually start on one of three radio stations, depending on who you're playing, and then work your way clockwise. That makes 6 or so of the stations greatly overrepresented. Once you get off of those it does get better. Also, there's nowhere near enough variety on the talk stations.
I will say that I was pleased to see Gordon Moorehead back. The original radio drama might be the funniest thing from the entire franchise.

Yes! My favorite mission was the Lethal Weapon 2 one, though. As soon as I saw stilted houses and the wench I knew what was going down.

My favorite missions have got to be the small town heist, and racing halfway across the island on a motorcycle to catch up with a falling plane.

Pretty surreal
-
I think it's cool that they based the character models on the actors (including secondary characters from what I've seen).
It also means they could easily make the movie adaptation. :neverusethis:
-
Finally found a reason to put the game back in. I had no idea about the Epsilon Program missions.

Haven't seen any of those. I know I've delivered a few random encounters up to the cult on the mountain top, though. At the same time I've also killed a few of those guys trying to kidnap chicks on the side of the road, so I guess it evens out.
-
You have to take the Epsilon website's survey with Michael, which will then begin a string of missions. The last one is the one that really matters, though, as you can do what they tell you before demanding you fuck off, or you can steal the delivery and lead them and the police into fighting each other while you make off with the $$$. Which is harder, but sticking it to them is fun.
I know you get an event with the Altruist cult if you deliver them four people with Trevor, but I only delivered one who was being really annoying. Now that I know something happens out of it, I might deliver three more. XD I did invade their little shanty town once to get a hidden page... awful lot of naked dudes there. :lol

Yup, strung out coke-whore who wants you to drive her to her boyfriend at the transmitting towers. :lol I actually tried to give them the drunk dude who was too loaded to drive, but they weren't interested in him. I suspect they're only interested in the ladies. I do know that aside from being naked, they're also well armed. When I snuck in there I didn't make it out alive.
I haven't played in a couple of weeks, but I'm learning about enough stuff that interests me that I'll probably fire it up pretty soon. Need to start keeping a list of the things I want to do.
-
My current extracurricular activity is just trying to sneak into the military base and steal something cool. :lol I tried attacking from the hillside outside the fence, and thought I had a pretty good vantage point... until one shot from a tank hit me perfectly. Those fuckers know what they're doing.
-
Yeah, I made a couple of attempts to steel the jet; all unsuccessful. Thought I never got around to it, I suspect the solution is going to be to HALO right on top of the damn thing. I should be able to get it off the ground before they can respond in force.
Definitely on my list of things to do when I restart.
-
Now, that I think about it, the one I delivered to the Altruists was the mob boss' daughter who was being robbed in Paleto, just because they were on the way. I actually took the coke-whore to her boyfriend. You're lucky you didn't. The boyfriend starts attacking when you get there.
...Though I think that mission appeared for me as Franklin, oddly enough, so the Altruist prompt never came up.
-
I had actually done the coke whore thing before, but had to revert back to an older save so I remember the dickhead security guard. One of the flaws in the game as that you can't beat up somebody without killing them, and that was an example of where it annoyed me.
Now that I think about it, I dropped off the drunk dude as Michael, so I guess that's why they wouldn't take him. Didn't know that it had to be Trevor.
As for the military base, I HALO'ed onto the roof of the hangar, but the alarms went off the second I set down. Sweet jump, but to no avail. I've made it to the jet a few times via various means, but the amount of time it takes to get the canopy open is always the dealbreaker.
-

-
I feel it's plane to see what happened there :biggrin:
-
I actually ran into Michael while playing as Franklin, and I guess when you do that you can get whichever two characters to hang out and do activities. Didn't know that. Really cool. Now I just wonder if it's possible to throw Trevor into the mix and have all three of them get drunk at the bar or whatever. XD
-
I had Michael bump into Trevor outside of an Ammunation, but it was when they hated each other so things were fairly frosty. :lol
-
Totally digging this game. I get the feeling they're gonna do a GTA version of Undead Nightmare, except instead of zombies... and alien invasion.
-

Aw, of all the times! :lol
Well, if anything, this gave me a reason to try out the golf course... and now I'm fucking hooked on golfing.
-
I preferred tennis.
Has anybody paid any attention to see what secondary characters might be protagonists in the inevitable DLC? None jump out at me, but I suppose Trevor's assistant manager guy could work. Lots of behind the scenes work dealing with everything Trevor fucks up.
-
I've always wanted to go on some super crazy Lamar adventures, since the guy seems so gullible that he'll get caught up in anything.
Also Packie McReary. Loved him in GTA4 and brought him in on every heist I could in this game. :biggrin:
-
I didn't stumble across Packie until the very end. Regardless, Chef proved himself early on in the game and he was the guy I always wanted along.
Lamar's probably a good candidate for a DLC character. He didn't really have any important involvement which would preclude him.

As long as I get more Wayde, I'm happy.
-
Bumping this as I'm interested to know if there ever was a DTF crew put together?
If so I am interested in whatever the initiation ceremony may be. No tongues though!
-
If the day comes when V is released on PC I'd be more than happy to join a crew.
-
No interest in shelling out money for a gold subscription. If it could be done for free I'd be all over it, though.
On a different note, leaving a restaurant last night I saw Trevor's truck. A near perfect copy, even with the same burnt red paint. Cracked me up.
-
I've been playing this online every second my girl friend isn't over. I'd really like to join a crew (PS3).

I actually put it down as soon as the credits rolled and haven't touched it since. Like I said six months ago, you should be able to keep doing bank heists to make it worth continuing. At some point I'll find out 10 things I never did and make a point to do them, but haven't gotten there yet.

The single player has gotten dry since I finished everything, but online is a whole different level of awesome, especially if you're cruising around the world with friends.
-
After spending some time in LA. I think I might play the game again to dee the similarities.
-
I have a bunch of pics I took while visiting Venice Beach. As soon as I got the game I started comapring them all. There were so many matches.
-
Where the real life PCH picks back up right at the Santa Monica pier is remarkably well modeled in the game. I marveled about it when I first played the game and knew exactly where I was since I had driven it just a month or so earlier. That's about the only real standout I recall from V. Still, a lot of the neighborhoods and such are exactly as you'd expect. It all has the right feel, just not the building by building modelling.
Most of their games have similar mapping. I recall that the first safehouse in Vice City was right next to the hotel in Scarface with the whacked out Colombians. Leaving LAX you drive right past a nude modeling shop just like in San Andreas.
-
I think on my first day out here I was coming from the north and drove down the highway between two mountains and then the city emerges and it felt exactly like it is in the game when you are drivng in that direction. It immediately made me want to play.
-
Soooo... PS3 crew roll call!

-
Yeah... I'm pretty effing excited.
-
I was going to ask if they added a better story, but with that huge increase in traffic the game might actually be a bit better, after all. Still, I think I'm pretty much done with the franchise, and better graphics certainly wouldn't compel me to buy the thing again (assuming I even owned an 8th gen console).
-
I'm still having loads of fun playing online. Haven't touched single player in a while.

Pretty impressive!
With The Last of Us coming to the PS4 in late July, I am definitely getting a PS4 either late July or early Aug! :tup
-
While I dont really want to purchase this again, I likely will, not just for the better graphics, but for the online play which I assume will be far superior. The PS3 version was just extremely difficult to find consistent games online and frustrated me grately although I really liked it.
-
I don't mind paying another $60 for the PS4 edition. The conversion cost Rockstar money, as does the free monthly DLC we've been getting.
-
I never got passed one of the early Trevor Missions. I doubt Ill play it on PS4...
-
Just bought this a month ago. Its fun, but everytime I played Rockstar servers were down, so no online.I got all into online right when it cut me off.
-
The only time I've had sever trouble was last week. It was down for a few days for maintenance.
-
I will immediately buy it again on day 1. Can't wait.
-
Seeing as you can transfer your player data between generations and brands, it's fairly safe to say that Rockstar has a piece of software to verify who already owned a copy of the game. I'd love to see another in-game $500k stimulus as a thank you for those dropping $60 all over again.
-
I never got passed one of the early Trevor Missions. I doubt Ill play it on PS4...
I wonder if it was the same early Trevor mission I gave up at? :lol
It wouldn't let me even switch characters or try any other missions, because they were "resting" after the heist or something, so I just stopped playing.

I'm not sure I even got that far. I seemingly kept having to do missions where Trevor made braindead decisions to run into the middle of large groups of angry hillbillies trying to kill me. I had to kill lots of hillbillies to get into a house and kill some guy for some reason.
I believe that was the second Trevor mission that I gave up at. The first Trevor mission was the same thing, but at a trailer park.

Yeah... Those can be tricky. I remember having to actually be patient and think my way through them. You can see on the radar how much noise you are making. I remember ducking behind cars and trailers and slowly worked my way to the rear of the fire fight. At that point I just started unloading on people from behind. Made it pretty easy.

I always took my time, and it took me forever to finish that first mission, but I got it on the second try.
The problem with that second mission is that once I finally worked my way into the house, the layout wasn't great for systematically working my way through and picking people off.
I died, and then it restarted me right at the front door in the middle of the action, and it was a worse position than just doing the mission from scratch. It took me so long to get that far the first time, that I just couldn't be bothered doing it again. It was no fun for me.
I also had to skip part of the first heist, because there's this bit on the roof where you have to throw the gas thingy into the air vent, and after literally over 50 attempts at it, couldn't get the damn thing to work. It was ridiculous.
I love watching gameplay footage of the game, but to play, I think I hated it.
-
That's a shame. The world alone is super fun. One day I just went into first person mode in my Charger and just cruised for like an hour trying to obey every rule on the road. I'd stop at lights, followed the right-of-ways, stayed on my side of the road, etc... It was surprisingly awesome. There is so much cool stuff around the city that one tends to miss when they are driving through it at 100mph. I went all around the map and through all kinds of little neighborhoods that I would probably have only seen in a mission here and there.

The majority of my time was definitely spent exploring, rather than doing missions. I'm glad the entire world was open from the start in GTA V, so I could roam wherever. Take out the retribution from the cops, and I'd enjoy that as a whole game much more than whatever the missions are supposed to be. :lol

You should try out a few of the cheats then. You can get five minutes of invincibility and exploding rounds. Makes for a hell of a good time.

I knew about the cheats, but I never used them, because five minutes of invincibility isn't that much, and I don't want to have to need to type it out in a bad position. :lol
Not that I could try it out now even if I wanted to, as our 360 died only a few months after getting it. They don't make 'em like they used to back in my day!

And this is what I'm noticing more and more with R* games. You wind up having to replay the same shootout numerous times and it just isn't much fun.
As for the big, wide world thing, most of the side activities don't do anything for you but waste time and they're not much fun anyway. Yoga? Really? The sub hunting missions were terrible. Roaming around collecting whatever, pieces of trash or some shit, never appealed to me. The only thing remotely entertaining that you could do outside of the story missions were plan and pull off bank heists, and they won't even let you do that after the story missions end (yeah, I know, pay for online access). I spent all of that time building a decent crew and only got to use them once they turned badass once.

I hear yah. As much as I have come to love the online portion, the main reason I stay out of single player is because of the lack of new things to do. Rockstar is clearly showing support for the game. New dlc is coming out for free every month. I'd love to have a pack released specifically for the single player mode, even if it cost some money.
I'm wondering if we are eventually going to get an online only version of GTA, much like the MMORPGs that so many people play. I wouldn't hate the idea of a never ending story (or new missions and characters) and an ever expanding world. Heck, that could actually be a lot of fun.
-
Truth be told, they're focusing too much on the online aspect of it because that's where they can sell stuff. Honestly, playing RDR (I just discovered I owned a copy of it a few nights ago) has reminded me of how inferior their model is. Since I've been playing Skyrim for the last year, it's really brought to my attention how much better Bethesda does the open world thing than R*. Honestly, Bethesda has pretty much ruined the entire GTA franchise for me now, simply by demonstrating how much better it could be. The one thing GTA had going for it was that it used to be hysterical. Now it's not even funny anymore.
-
Does Rockstar make money on the online portion? So far, everything they have released has been free. And to my knowledge, you can't by things that make your character or vehicles unique like in LoL.
-
Well, the only microtransaction I see is the option to buy in game money. I guess they blew their profiteering wad with the game's release (different packages, as I recall).
-
The one thing GTA had going for it was that it used to be hysterical. Now it's not even funny anymore.
The humor has always been incredibly juvenile but I can agree with you since their satire is much more blunt and poorly conceived/executed.
-
Quite literally the only reason I have ever played ANY GTA is to kill boredom. Couldn't give a shit less about humor, story, characters...if they've got an upgraded open world for every game, updated graphics, more shit to run over and more cheats, then I'm golden. For real...I've tried to get into the story, I've tired very briefly to give a shit about the characters...nope, Chuck Testa, I just end up cheating like a mofo and having all the fun in the world just fuckin' around, driving fast, exploring, and especially running over and/or mutilating the denizens of GTA. If V has that in spades, then I'm sure I'll like it just fine. That's just it though, it will never be more than that to me.
Which is why I liked Watch Dogs more than I thought I would because it did what GTA does, except added some flare (and of course on a lesser scale), and gave me some more reasons to do more than just screw around (though not by much, and not for long, but it's a start).
-
I'm KINDA the same way. Last GTA I played was San Andres on PS2. I did my best to follow the story and what not but wound up just cheating it up and dicking around. I just bought it on PC ($6 on amazon ) and am going to attempt to play it through.
-
Yeah, as a rule the stories all suck. Another problem with the series is that they stopped spending money on big name voice actors. Part of the reason SA worked so well is that SL Jackson, Chris Penn, Pete Fonda, et al all added extra personality to their characters. The FIB guy that kept shooting himself in the thigh was actually pretty amusing, but not so much to really take an interest in. If they'd gotten James Woods or somebody you already know the personality of it would have gone a long way.
However, the humor was very rarely in the story. Some of the characters were pretty damned funny (Dennis Hopper as the porno director comes to mind), but usually it was elsewhere. The radio and the continuity were always good for laughs. I still think Gordon Moorehead is probably the funniest thing R* ever pulled off.
As for V, my understanding is that there's a ton of stuff to do, but fun stuff is a different matter altogether. While I generally enjoy goofing off more than the story itself, that wasn't the case with V. I blew through the story and never bothered doing much else. There are a few things I should probably go back and do (never did steel the fighter jet, for example).

SA was the pinnacle, IMO. They've been tanking ever since.

I would say GTA V is the best GTA-game, but I would probably agree that the side characters (at least many of them) weren't as memorable as some of the characters from Vice City or San Andreas.

It seems that GTA V for PC, PS4 and Xbone comes out in November if the world wide web speaks the truth....

Game play wise I have to agree with you, but for nostalgic reasons I still think GTA VC is my fav. Everything about it was soooo 80's, and I love it! :tup

Agreed for the most part except for me its GTA 4, because of the NYC setting which I know well so it felt so awesome. I loved the 80s feel of VC as well.
-
Yea they definitly nailed the time period in VC. Driving around with the radio on was always fun but for me my favourite GTA game is definitly San Andreas. I played that game to death.

SA was definitely fun, but it was also the hardest one to get a 100%! I got the first press PS2 version, and it has that infamous Zero RC plane glitch, and it took me over a year (on and off) to nail that single mission, and eventually the 100% completion! :hat
-
I really really really miss the RC missions. As an avid RC enthusiast, they were always one of my favorite elements.

I love those RC missions too, even way back in GTA III. Those are fun! Except that Zero RC plane mission... it drove me NUTZ!! If not for that one fuel glitch, those Zero missions are actually quite fun. :hat

Even though it was an official mission, taking down the building with the RC helicopter in Vice City was one of my favorite missions of all time.

I can wait to run me some bitches over in uber HD when this releases on PC.

Testers have been found playing GTA-V on Steam. There's still no official release date, but that must (hopefully) means next gen release is close.

It's also been announced that Read Dead Redemption Remastered will be released for next gen next March.

HOLY FUCK YES. GTA V CAN GO SUCK A DICK AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, THIS IS WHERE IT'S AT!
-
Sweeeet, that's gonna be fun as hell. I watched my friends play it and it was the first Western game I was even remotely interested in and the more I watched the more I wanted it; this holiday season is so gonna bankrupt me.
-
Is that going to be on PC too? My only complaint is... what took so long? Game has been out for too long for me to get excited as I beat it a few years ago. Unless they add online multiplayer, I wont buy it again, but I will get GTA5 for PC just for multiplayer as I cant stand playing it on PS3.

It has online multiplayer already?
A friend and I have been playing online recently loads of fun, and the story is worth replaying through.

It is coming to PC. Not so sure about any online.

Boo, that would spark my interest in it. Great game and all, but im not going to spend the money if there isnt anything worth spending it on. But for anyone who hasnt played it, its a really fun game.

It's totally worth getting again even if you've already played it. It already looks great, but now with a next gen facelift? *Darky is one of those old fat ladies fanning her sweating face*
The story is absolutely wonderful and the game takes forever to complete, and if it has the online experience the last one did, that's just icing on the cake honestly.
-
To each his own, but I wouldnt spend 50-60 bucks on a game I arleady played through that has no added features besides better graphics. I even played through the Undead Redemption (also very awesome). Maybe if i caught it on a steam sale where I can justify to myself spending a smaller amount of money.
-
RDR on PC! Surprised not seeing more info and hype around that on the webz, it's basically the one Rockstar game fans have begged them to release on PC since it's launch in 2010. Even a sequel is in development! Must have brutally missed that hype train!
Edit: Is it really confirmed?
-
A sequel... now thats got me interested.
-
As long as Jack isn't the main character, I'll be cool with it.
-
Oh wow, I didn't know about the sequel! But yeah this isn't as easy to find on the net as I thought it'd be, I actually had to search for a few seconds before finding the info on the PC release. That's awesome though; coincidentally my brother from another mother just came over to crash for a few days and just hooked up his old 'box and is playing the game as I type this. Awesome stuff, it's getting me excited to see what they do with the upgrades.

Grand Theft Auto V is set to release on PS4 and Xbox One on November 18 and on January 27 on PC, with a host of changes and improvements in tow.
Sucks that the PC players need to wait even longer, but glad to have the news.

I was really hoping to not have to wait another 2 months :'(

I expected a 2015 release, I'm surprised it's even that early. Those screens are lookin' fuckin' GORGEOUS though. For an open-world game...that's nuts. My PC's body is ready; maybe this will be the game to finally make my behemoth work a 'lil.
-
I'm just excited to have a reason to use my PS4. It's been sitting unplugged since February. I'm going to fire it up and a puff of dusts is going to come out of it. The sad thing is, This is the first game I've ever played with my friends, once I switch to the PS4 version, that's gone.
-
The reason for the PC delay could be alot of things but I think optimisation for the PC and it's 100+ configurations for all the GPUs, CPUs and other diffrent hardware products on the market is timeconsuming. Another things is mod support and tools for the mod community which is an important part of the PC which will keep the game fresh for another couple of years. Can't wait for that! Had alot of fun with mods for GTA 4.
However the most probable cause for the delay is probably that they wanna pump as much money out of the console market to counter the heavy piracy that stalks the PC platform. It's a real thing that they are very well aware of.

Yea i think its that they want to get the console christmas sales and then let it all lose for the rest of the world on PC after they made lots and lots of money.
-
So are they porting the original version of V to PC, or the new facelifted version? Not really interested in playing it again (haven't touched it since finishing the story missions), but I wouldn't mind seeing the new graphics.
-

The PC version is supposedly the "Ultimate" version of GTA according to Rockstar. It will definitely have the upgraded graphics, but Im not sure if itll have anything extra that the xbox1 and ps4 wont have (besides mods).
-
Why would they port an 1 year old version of the game on PC? It' the definite version of GTA V that Rockstar intended the game to be but couldn't with the old consoles with improved graphics, higher draw distance, higher resolution, AA, denser traffic, 100+ new songs on Radio, mod support and mod tools, new characters, video recorder, new vehicles, new weapons, more radio stations, 30 players on GTA Online (atleast on next gen, could be more on PC) and much more.... so yea it's not an old port. :biggrin:
-
Why would they port an 1 year old version of the game on PC?
Uh, tons and tons of cash in big bulging bags with dollar signs on them? Console versions mean more money for everybody.
-
Naw I atleast are not that naive to think they don't care about their product, besides by releasing the game in stages like this they already bring as much cash as they could. Rockstar usually go into great effort to release a quality product. No they're not flawless but if they're doing a PC version they know what fans expect from a version like that. That's why they're go all in to make a good version on PC, I even heard that PC was the main platform from the beginning and has been in development for 3 years. So it dosen't look to be a simple port. They know how a happy modding community can keep their game alive for years.
-
While I'm jealous of those who get to play the campaign on a wicked awesome PC with mods and high settings, I can't help but think that the online mode (which I've come to love) will be a cluster fuck and a total disaster. As a PS3 player I have had to leave at least a hundred sessions by now because of Modders, PC is going to be a nightmare for Rockstar to moderate.
-
In GTA 4 on PC, if you had scripted files you'd automatically only played with other modders everyone else played on regular servers. In Max Payne 3, anyone how cheated or used scripts got redirected to a server with other cheaters, like a prison. They could still play but only with other cheaters. Free mode in GTA 4 with mods was total chaos but it was a helluva fun if ask me.

I found playing multiplayer on ps3 to be terrible honestly. And nothing to do with mods, just the ridiculously long time it took to actually get into a game and play. Id spend 5 minutes playing a game and then wait another 5 before the next, I couldnt take it. I would hope a PC version would be quicker at that.

GTA V comes to both the PS4 and the Xbox One on 18th Nov, 2014. Here is the new trailer:
Grand Theft Auto V: “A Picket Fence and a Dog Named Skip” - YouTube (https://"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rb1vOrm9SX4")

Free mode in GTA 4 with mods was total chaos but it was a helluva fun if ask me.
This is the absolute perfect solution. It doesn't punish either side, but it's saying "Hey, if you wanna mod to your heart's content, do it; you'll just be doing it with other modders". I think the word 'cheating' at this point in time is shallow; back in the day, sure...but now, if someone is playing on PC and doesn't expect to see any kind of modding or play with modders, they're an ignorant twat. It's apart of the PC culture and gaming style and for me at least, it's a massive plus to both the general enjoyment of the games and expanding their horizons; it's also a guilty pleasure just being a general dickhead to the fucktards whose balls haven't dropped yet and treat gaming like a god damn religion. It's all about fun and if you take things in gaming too seriously, you're just asking to be shit on.
I think it's a wonderful idea to continue and I'd be flabbergasted if they took it out.
-
I wasn't thinking of modders in the cheating sense, more along the just straight up fucking everything up sense. For example, the PS3 version modders are really pissing me off. You occasionally get the dick using God Mode, but that's nothing compared to the people stealing your cars, emptying your bank account, or placing shipping containers inside your garage and preventing you from being able to take any of your cars out. I imagine stuff like that would be much more common on PC, no?

Some interesting info about GTA V on next gen and PC:
Question: When upgrading from the Xbox 360 or PS3 version of GTAV to a PS4, Xbox One, or PC version, what changes will I see?
Answer: Grand Theft Auto V will take full advantage of the power of the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC with across-the-board graphical and technical improvements to deliver a stunning new level of detail. Increased draw distances, finer texture details, denser traffic, and enhanced resolutions all work together to bring new life to the cities, towns, deserts and oceans of Rockstar North’s epic reimagining of Southern California.
All new content and gameplay created since the launch of Grand Theft Auto Online, including an extensive array of new Jobs, an arsenal of new weapons, scores of new vehicles, new properties and player customizations will also be available for the PlayStation 4 system, Xbox One and PC with much more to come. In addition, the current community of players will have the ability to transfer their Grand Theft Auto Online characters and progression to their choice of PlayStation 4, Xbox One or PC.
Grand Theft Auto V for PC will also feature a video editor designed for advanced movie-making.
In addition to the above features, you'll see:
A brand new first person mode for vehicles that shows the interior of the vehicle, including working speedometers, tachometers, dash lights, and more
A brand new first person mode while on foot
A wealth of new easter eggs and random events for Story Mode
New animals roaming Los Santos
Animals in GTA Online?
Players that transfer characters from Xbox 360 or PS3 will receive free new weapons and a free garage in GTA Online.

Here's something worth sharing. A possible Undead Nightmare style DLC for GTAV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVdjYjqe41g

Rockstar's last trailer pretty must confirms that. There was a vid on YouTube last week of some dudes playing a zombie mini game on the beach as well.

Pretty sure that bit in the trailer was just supposed to be this guy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuY5LjD6cR4
But it is possible that they actually take that and turn it into something. I was hoping they'd do something similar to Undead Nightmare, except instead of zombies they'd do some sort of alien invasion/FIB cover up DLC. They referenced aliens and ufos far too much in the main storyline (and just around San Andreas in general) to just let that opportunity slip away.

I tried pre-ordering GTA-V for the PS4 last night at my local Gamestop and was told they were not accepting anymore pre-orders. I went with Amazon instead. I hope I still get the $500k reward for online.

Seriously this looks freakin epic:

First person in a sandbox per se is of course nothing special these days but to have it in a GTA game just gives the game a new dimension. Yes 1:st person in a GTA game is nothing new either but not with this kind of quality. Can't wait for the PC version in a couple of months!
-
Woah
-
wow that looks amazing, specifically the first person shooter type stuff they showed. I dont care much for first person while using vehicles, but that looks like so much fun.
-
I. Can't. Fucking. Wait. I'm curious if in FP mode if the weapons still auot-target.. I wish that video showed more footage of playing on foot.

"First-person options are bogglingly extensive, with options for Assisted Aim, Semi-Assisted Aim, Free Aim and much, much more. You can set first-person targeting with third-person cover, or third-person targeting with first-person driving... the choice is huge"

Dusted off my PS3 yesterday and popped this in. I'm only 65% complete, so still plenty of story content to get through. The PS4 enhancements look awesome, but without single-player save transfers or upgrade discounts (neither of which will happen), I can't see myself spending another $60.
Especially since its release date coincides with Dragon Age: Inquisition. :drool:
-
You do get a butt ton of exclusive content though if you do upgrade.
-
And all of your online progress transfers.
-
Say what you will about Rockstar but they sure know how to do business.
#1 Announce the game only for previous generation. What happens: Previous gen, next gen and PC folks buys the game (What I mean is that people from each platform will buy the game) resulting in 6 Guinness World Records and the fastest property to gross 1 billion during 24hrs. As of August 2014, the game has sold-in over 34 million units to retailers for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
#2 Announce the game one year later for next generation with graphic updates and lots of extra stuff. What happens: Previous gen and next gen folks buys the game.
Rockstar knows that the PC platform is condemned with piracy but they still wanna release a version to gain even more revenue and they know people want a PC version so....
#3 ....the final push is to of course delay the PC version (and make it the last platform in order to stable any loss they may have from piracy) with more graphic updates and lots of even more extra stuff. What happens: Previous gen, next gen and of course PC folks squeesh the last milk drops from the game.
Everyone can see that it's a clever move by R* even if you don't like it.
-
I have zero problems with what Rockstar has done with this game's release. We've gotten non-stop hacker support and bug fixes, as well as an large amount of free DLC content and new missions. Developing the game, building the online infrastructure, maintaining it, and then modifying to work on next gen is a tall order. I will happily give Rockstar another $60. With the amount of hours of enjoyment I've gotten out of that game, they deserve it.
-
I just finished watching a playthrough of this game today, and wow. This game was amazing. Of course the gameplay is incredible, but the world is so immersive. The characters are so well written and acted, I was surprised even with my high expectations. We need to see effort like this put into more games nowadays.

Well, I guess that's cheaper than buying the thing. :lol
-
Considering all of the extras, its hard to complain about the way rockstar has done this. If they just released it on next gen with no extras, then I can see people being pissed, but it seems like the next gen versions are worth the price of buying again. I think this is the only game I will have ever bought for two different systems.

Interesting stuff about GTA V on PC. Apparently Rockstar will use a new DRM system for GTA V called Denuvo:
Rockstar will use new DRM system in GTA 5 for PC. This system is Denuvo, which also used in FIFA 15 and Lords of the Fallen.
This System uses special code which changes every time so this DRM is still not hacked, and I think it wont be.
No more piracy on PC and only way you can play GTA 5 its Steam.
Got this info today. Also today Denuvo updated partners on their site. Rockstar now here too. So its confirmed.

https://gtaforums.com/topic/745799-v-pc-to-use-denuvo-drm/#entry1066428562
https://www.denuvo.com/#page-4
I'm all up for it as I basically only use Steam on PC anyway.
-
Only thing I can say is my buddy bought Lords of the Fallen and has a rig more than capable of running it yet he says and I've witnessed that game is a technical nightmare that many are saying is the result of this new DRM. So lets be clear this DRM is being used for a linear game like LOTF and has completely borked that game up to no end, how well you think its going to do with an expansive open world game like GTA V?
Way to go Rockstar... fucking the game because of a DRM that will be cracked anyway.
-
Ugh, sounds like a potential disaster and even though i plan on buying an Xbox1 tomorrow, I was going to get this game on PC.
-
Let's just wait and see how it performs before getting too carried away, it may not even be used in GTAV given there hasn't been any official conformation yet even though their logo is on the site. I for one support any solution against piracy so if this works as intended without hurting performance i'm all up for it.
-
True, I have no problem paying for the game so I agree. I just remember the Sim City fiasco.

Support a "solution" that will penalize the legit users instead of the pirates? Even if it takes more time than regular games, it's naive to think a huge game like GTA won't be cracked.
But, just like you said, we don't know if Rockstar will end up using this DRM or if it will affect the performance of the game so, let's hope they don't ruin another GTA port.

What do you mean by penalize? I mean if let's say it dosen't hurt the performance I don't see why it's so bad.
I'm sure that people will take that as a challenge to crack the game and it may happen but atleast it makes it harder for them which I have absolutly no problem with.
-
If the DRM ends up affecting performance, who are the only ones that can disable it? Yeah, the crackers.
In the end, legit users will pay for a version that performs worse than the free pirated game (DRM disabled).
I know there's no actual proof this new DRM will hurt performance or whatever but, when it comes to the usage of DRM, there was cases where it backfired in the past (like with The Witcher series) so, we can only wait and see for yourselves.
-
Yea I see what you mean. I agree that it sucks if the performance actually would hurt by the DRM that would certainly lead to a cracked version within hours! :lol
I hope that R* knows what they're doing because i'm pretty sure even they could imagine that kind of scenario but then again i'm pretty sure hackers don't really need a reason to crack the game, if it's possible to do it will happen anyway.
I'm sure that any price over $0 will legitimate a cracked verson in their eyes.

FTFY
Anyway, both consoles were released last year so, it's pretty early to demand masterpieces (i'm not counting multiplats or games that were released in the PS3 and X360 too like Tomb Raider). Maybe, during 2015, some of these starts to appear.
-
The amount of games that have come out since September, those libraries are getting a bit bigger, but a lot of console exclusives aren't those big hitters that people need. PC has the advantage of having a library of games continuously through the ages (till Valve go bankrupt or something)
-
Okay. I'm getting pissed. My GTA5 disc started installing and at around 40% my dog decided to go sniff the PS4. He turned it off during the install. I tried again and it just sat at 0% for about 20 minutes. I deleted the games initial file from the library and tried again. This time it started installing again, it's been sitting at 44% for about twenty minutes now. The fuck?
-
I read that its a common problem... there has been so many game day release problems on the next gen systems lately
-
Well, the game finally installed after the sixth attempt. Now I can't seem to transfer my level 86 character from my PS3. I'm getting the "No Data" error that people who didn't play in 2014 are getting, but I've played plenty. I don't know what the fuck is wrong. If I have to start over again online, I'm going to be super pissed. Mainly because I bought shark cards thinking I was supporting Rockstar for all the awesome online stuff we've gotten to this point. If I can't transfer my Liberator, I'm going to be super upset.
I think I figured out what happened.
When I bought my PS4, I wanted to make a new account name. So I made a sub account (Chino-onihC) under my master account (Chino1130). I play GTA under the sub account. I can't get Rockstar's social club to look at the sub account. It just looks at the master that has no saved data on it.

GTA Online Heists are coming early in 2015 - check out the new trailer for the four-player co-op mode for Grand Theft Auto Online that allows players to plan, prepare and execute multi-tiered Heists across Los Santos and Blaine County. These will require tight communication and coordination, with players taking on specified roles at each point to accomplish multiple objectives on the way to each Heist’s epic finale. Featuring new gameplay, new vehicles, new weapons, new clothing and much more.
Head over to IGN for an in-depth interview that details exactly how Heists will work... and why they’ve taken a little more time than originally expected.

I can't wait! I still play Online all the time and this will just add to the insanity.

:corn :metal :hat :hefdaddy :chill

I know it's a pipe dream... but I want to drive the aircraft carrier.

Yup keep dreaming haha but seriously, maybe a PC mod.

I love stuff like this:

Here you can see when and how many devs playing GTAV on steam. It's not far away now! :metal
-
"We're presently in the final stages of development on the PC version of Grand Theft Auto V and hope to have confirmed official system requirements to share soon here at the Newswire."
"Please stay tuned for that to be announced in the coming week. Thank you and we're very excited to bring GTAV to the PC gaming community!"
-
Holiday update dropped today :metal I can't wait to get a Christmas hat on my broad.
-
Guess I better continue my grind in the 360 version then.
-
When will it snow! I'm jonesing to have a snowball fight with my brother!
Got a christmas tree in my apartment though. I've also been to ponsonbys and bedecked myself in a garish christmas jumper, some lovely blue and white striped long johns and a santa claus mask. Now I just need some snow so I can drift around los santos as the cool mo fo I look like.
-
Does it snow in california?
-
I really wish there was a section of the map that had snow all the time. Outside of the first campaign mission, we never see snow again.
-
It snowed last year on the online version at Christmas. They've said it'll snow this year too and you can have snowball fights.
I'm with you Chino. Although gentlemen of dread makes a fair point, this is fictional and the online environment is loads of fun with snow on the ground. I'd love it if they introduced some sort of seasonal rotation to the world.
-
If not in the vanilla PC version the modders will surely handle that.

They could definitely put snow on top of Mount Chiliad and make it believable. There are plenty of other mountains in the game you could climb if the snow isn't your cup of tea. I loved being able to go into the snowy mountains and hunt for bears in Read Dead Redemption.
Does it snow in california?
I'm assuming in the mountains.

28 days later.... #V #HYPE

Not sure if this is confirmed or not. This is the only place I've seen it.
https://masterherald.com/grand-theft-auto-v-online-update-heists-dlc-finally-arriving-on-january-27/6706/
Rockstar Games has finally revealed that the promised Heists DLC will be arriving on January 27, 2015 to the next-gen gaming consoles. It will coincide with the release of “Grand Theft Auto V” on the PC
-
:metal
-
Yes! I will have to buy that as soon as I get back from Europe.
-
Only 20 days left!! :yarr
-
I can't wait to see what the modders do to this beast.
-
Yep should be fun! Give it some time and amazing things will happen to GTA V that aren't in the vanilla version.
-
PC release delayed until 3/24 after Rockstar said several times that the rumors were false.

:angry:
-
I'm assuming that also means heists are delayed (again).
-
All i can say is that when it does get released, it better not be a shit PC port like supposedly GTA4 was (i never played it on PC). I could have gotten this for Xbox1 already but am waiting for the PC version which is supposed to be the best, so it better be :biggrin:
-
I'm assuming that also means heists are delayed (again).
Heists are still on track. Honestly, I was surprised they originally planned to release both simultaneously, given all the online issues games have had recently. Spacing out the launch will undoubtedly ease the stress on their servers.

While there isn't evidence, i've heard the PC version isn't a port but, anyway, it is being handled by the same team who did a superb job optimizing Max Payne 3.
EDIT: From these requirements alone, it seems GTA V is going to be well optimized.

I don't think Rockstar would dare make that mistake again.
-

I want R* to release the best possible pc port they could and had no problem waiting the first time but I must say this annoyed me big time, was really looking forward to play it in two weeks time! :tdwn
Ahh well I guess the only comfort is that more polish is never bad and it seems they really don't want a GTA IV PC launch reprise so I respect that.
Still :-\ though
Edit: Isn't the 30 player cap the same as consoles?
-
Yeah. The consoles max out at 30.
-
I thought they said the player count was to be increased on PC?
-

I never heard that.

Yea can't confirm it so it dosen't matter. Haven't played on consoles so how does 30 feel? Too little or perfect? It just seems a little thin.

I love it. The city can get a little crazy at times and I only had to leave a session once. I was in one room where this clan had like 20 tanks cruising around, it was mayhem. 30 person death matches and 30 person races are where the real fun is at. I'd honestly prefer more people. I'd like to see 50+ maps. It would force people to spread out. I love the country side of the map, but nobody ever goes out there. Luckily I have a few buddies that like to just dick around an offroad.
-
I remember in IV freemode that everyone was at the airport on every server and the rest of the map was empty.
To put in perspective: GTA V was announced in october 2011 and it's january 2015 and I still haven't played the game.
Hype level 1000 to still be excited. Very few games would keep me hyped so long, luckily V is one of them.

Wow, impressive. I bought a used PS3 just to play GTA5 because I couldnt wait (and at the time there was no infomration of next gen versions even though it was assumed there would be).

I consider GTA-V to be my favorite game of all time.
-
I really wish Rockstar would create two online modes. Keep the one we have now, and make one where there is no friendly fire (passive mode isn't the same). I really like when I get into rooms with people that want to cooperatively have fun that doesn't involve gunning everything that moves down.
-
Well this is the most satisfying thing I've seen in a while.

Dammit R*, I just want to play your game....
GTAV for PC will be arriving on April 14th at retail and as a digital download. Our apologies to PC gamers worldwide who have been counting down the days until the launch of the game, but a bit more time is needed to ensure that the game is as polished as possible, and to make certain that both Heists and the GTA Online experience are ready to roll out on day one for PC. As a gesture of thanks for your understanding, we will grant anyone who has pre-ordered the game an additional $200,000 in-game cash for use in GTA Online.
https://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/52394/gtav-updates-online-heists-coming-march-10-gtav-for-pc
Oh well, time have moved pretty quickly since the last delay so I guess I can wait some more....
-
While it sucks to get delayed, if the product is finished and working then I'm fine. Just don't delay and then release something that is buggy or doesn't work.
-
Of course, it just gets a bit tedious after a while. Been waiting for ages for my PC copy! :'(
-
I'm sure this means heists have also been pushed back. I love Rockstar, and as an IT guy I fully understand how monumental of a task GTA Online was, but this blows. I've played Online into the ground, so much so, I'm not sure even heists will get me back. I'm sure I'll try and enjoy them, but I'm pretty much over Online at this point.
-
I guess Im actually kind of cool with even waiting until it gets a price break for the PC being that I have it for the PS3, if I can wait this long for the PC version, I guess I can wait even longer and longer. SR4 has me occupied anyway with my sandbox games.
-
I am just replaying old single player missions, and am trying to get as many golds as possible.
-
I'd rather it be delayed to give them time to perfect it, than have them release it with known issues. Thankfully, Rockstar is not like Ubisoft in that regard.
-
That's a good point. The world does nothing but bitch when a game is released with bugs, and then when a company takes their time to avoid bugs, they get bitched at.

Its a lose lose situation unless the companies would just be patient and set release dates when they know the product will be finished and bugless.

Looks beautiful
-
Yeah, those screen shots look pretty great.

Anybody downloaded the update and tried it out?
I tried downloading it on my Xbox 360 but it was taking forever. I left it on when I went to bed and it had already taken an hour to get to 40% at that point. It may have switched itself off before completing.
-
I've only had time to do one heist. It was pretty awesome. I made just shy of $80k in 35 minutes. I bought one of the new vehicles. It's an armored Evo/STI hybrid. I've noticed a couple new animations and I think the game runs smoother now. It might just be me.
-
I just played through my first heist last night too. It was quite fun.

I just played through my first heist last night too. It was quite fun.
I haven't been able to do a heist (PS4) since Sunday. I'm running into a lot of server issues. First off, I can't get into a lobby with anyone else. No matter how many times I try, it's just me once I connect. When I host heists (and missions too for that matter), no one is able to join. When I try and join a job someone else is hosting, I run into a connection error.
However, I now drive around in a armored Kuruma full time. I did a mission with it and killed 22 people with just the car. It took gun fire the entire time.
-
:biggrin:
Every cloud...
-
I bought that car doing the Karin Rusty Rebel glitch that could be done until last night. :D
-
I'm confused... What cloud and what glitch? Was there an update last night?
-
It's no longer doable but in the last week there's been 3 different glitches where you buy that pickup truck (for a measly $3000) then bought some cheap rims for it and it unlocked a more expensive set of rims where you could sell the Karin Rusty Rebel for $52k, then after hotfix-ing that one for $42k and until last night for $32k.
-
Ahhh I see.
-
Back to single player for a bit... Caida Libre has to be one of the most frustrating missions, if you intended to get Gold in it!!
For those who remember this mission, you must shoot down a plane with the high power rifle Martin Madrazo provides you with in THREE shots! The problems are:
1) The game seems buggy, and you CANNOT zoom in with your rifle on your retry!
2) Thanks to point #1, you must restart your retry from the top! And that drive from Madrazo's house to the observatory can be very boring after a few tries...
Thankfully I finally get gold in it after around 10 tries... one of the more frustrating and boring missions!! >:(
-
I tried to play single player again last week. I earned about $600 as Franklin and gave up.

Once again, looks amazing... but please release the game lol
-
Hopefully this date is the final which I do actually think. I think they honestly just wanna release a solid port and don't repeat past mistakes. The extra time was most likely for polish. Can't wait to finally play the campaign.
-
Yea I agree, just saying... and the one pic of hollywood blvd lol I just walked it last weekend so that looks so familiar haha
-
Still not done the online heists, but that comes with the platform I'm playing on.
-
My brother and I both preordered the pc version yesterday, we will be tag teaming the heists

https://masterherald.com/gta-6-is-a-go-according-to-rockstar-games/13595/
That good news came by way of Rockstar Games, the company behind the very popular video game series, when they announced that it would be developing a sixth installment to the series. GTA 6 is in the works and according to sources, will be expected for consoles in the next year or so.
Next year or so? I'm guessing we don't see VI until at least Q2 2017.
-
And this news surprised no one.
-
I would take that with some heavily grain of salt, atleast the part about a release in the next year or so. Since I haven't yet played the recent damn game even though it released 1 1/2 years ago I have a hard time trusting R* when it comes to release schedule even less speculations/rumours.
-
Just look at the beginning of this thread. The trailer came out 22 months before the initial (last gen) release :lol We don't even have a trailer yet.
-
yup, this news is effectively non news. Just get V out on PC! I feel like I need it now all of the sudden.
-
So 6 is Vice City...right?
-
But would you want it to be like 80s neon lights, hookers, coke and blow Vice City or a more modern representation of the area?
-

I'd want a modern representation that still includes neon lights, hookers, coke and blow.
-
So 6 is Vice City...right?
Please god let it be.
-
Rockstar would be stupid to not make a modern rendition of Vice City. Especially this time around, the timing couldn't be any more perfect. GTA-VIce City.
-
Would like that thank you very much.
-
I honestly wouldn't mind if Rockstar made the game in the 80s again. I'd actually prefer that. I don't think it will happen because a lot of gamers are too young to appreciate it in any way, but I'd shell out $100 for that game, especially if it was online. Everything about the 80's is what made that game, not the city of Vice City itself. The neon, the clothing, the vintage throwbacks, the radio stations, the vehicles, people on roller skates, etc, all made that game great. A modern version of Vice City would be missing all of that. Granted, a Vice City setting with the visuals of GTA-V would be amazing, but without the 80s stuff, it'd just be a really cool new GTA game.
-
Id vote for 80s style too if my vote counted for anything. If not vice city, Id be open to the idea of "San Andreas" style wtih 3 cities on one map, maybe in Europe and have a massive map as hopefully the game is made exclusively for next gen/PC.
-
I'd still like to see a map with an island that you need to boat or fly to. If I had to choose between map size or graphics, I think I'd take grpahics. GTA-V is beautiful on PS4, but if they could make a next gen GTA game with PS3 graphic and a map double or triple the size of GTA-V's, I'd be all for it.
I think the next title will definitely be next gen/PC only. At this point, PS3 and Xbox360 will force the project to be dialed back. GTA-V on next gen shows the really potential that Rockstar has at their finger tips. I can't wait to see what they do from the ground up. The same goes for the next Red Dead game. Without all the cars, people, cities, etc to deal with, that world is going to look absolutely amazing.
-
Just had a ridiculously mind numbing thought... Sony announced like a month ago that their project Morpheus would be launching in 2016. Could you imagine a first person GTA in virtual reality? Yes please.

I want to watch that so bad... stupid work filters.
I'm getting back just over $4k from the Feds this year in taxes. I'm seriously debating builing a monster rig just for this game and its mods.

Do it! We can form a PC DT forums gang.
-
Probably no one would care, but I've just earned the Solid Gold trophy! :metal Earning 70 golds in missions were hard!
-
I appreciate high framerate but i'm a bit annoyed that game studios have to emphasis that their game runs at 60 fps in order to calm people down because people cry and make such a big deal that 60 fps is the most important thing in the world. The truth is that it's totally dependent on what PC rig you have, as simple as that. People will cry that they can't run their copy at 60 fps or it's not smooth enough or whatever problem they have, that's just a fact. Unless R* have out done them self and made low tier PCs run at 60+ fps which is highly unlikely because hardware configurations are such a random thing. It's like this trailer servers as a public cooldown before the shitstorm that's about to happen once the PC version is released. I'm not talking about GTA V might be a bad port, just that people and their knowledge about what's required to run at 60 fps is often not a good match.
-
Only a week left now, i'm officially pumped! Anyone else?
Btw pre-load begins in an hour. #HYPE
59GB, yeez. Oh well, might aswell get rid of games I don't play anymore.
-
I can't wait to see what modders do to this game.
-
got the email for the pre-download! I'll have to get that set up, but yea almost 60GB means I might have to move battlefield off of my SSD. Im going to assume Id rather install this on my SSD than my HDD.

I think that would be a wise decision. I'm very curious about how this game will run, mostly how high they've set the bar for graphic fidelity. If they play safe and have a very stable version on medium rigs or a version that pushes the graphical fidelit on high-end and future hardware. I just feel that the middle option is usually the hardest to acheive, if you know what I mean.

I guess they answered alot of my questions here:
Why GTA 5 on PC took so long to get here - and why it was worth the wait (https://www.techradar.com/news/gaming/why-gta-5-on-pc-took-so-long-to-get-here-and-why-it-was-worth-the-wait-1290506?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_content=gta5pc&utm_campaign=project)
"We made a commitment to having the core GTA team work alongside our specialist PC leads on every version of the game," Phil Hooker, Director of Technology at Rockstar North told us, speaking on the delayed release. "Since the PS4 and Xbox One share similar architecture to the PC, we were using the same team for both new console and PC versions. So while PC development was happening more or less alongside the console versions from the very beginning, carefully managing each version in this way took a lot more time than if we had a completely separate team working on the game."
The other benefit of launching late is that GTA 5 hit the PC with everything else ready in position. Heists will be live from day one, while all the DLC from the last 18 months will come part and parcel - as will GTA Online, which, like the latest consoles, supports up to 30 active players at a time on PC. The story mode has been preserved, but there are additional features including a new radio station, the Rockstar Editor, and, erm, Sam Herring of Future Islands.
The aim, says Rockstar, was to make GTA 5 malleable to a vast number of different setups so that most, if not all players, should feel as if they're getting the definitive GTA experience. The true performance of GTA 5 on lower-spec rigs remains to be seen.
Which, when you consider the massive community of PC gamers still toying with GTA 4, begs the next question: what the hell are the modders going to do when they get their hands on this game?

Only 12 hrs left! (https://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-dance009.gif)

That took about 10 hours to download and install. I'm ready for Tuesday after work.

Yea it's a hefty download. I even had to re-download because I accidentally installed it on my OS drive which I usually keep clear from games. Luckily I have 50 Mbit/s so it shouldn't take that long.

Nice, I actually kept it on my OS drives. I have more free space on those raid 0 SSDs than my dedicated gaming SSD. Saved me the trouble of moving or uninstalling games from my gaming SSD.

Yea I usually don't have that much space on my OS drive but I re-installed my OS last week and hadn't installed that much on the C: drive yet so I could in practise have GTAV installed there but to be safe from future hazzle I just thought it would be easier to re-locate it now before launch instead of after.
I have noticed that some programs can't be installed on drives other that the OS drive for some reason, I think Pinnacle Studio 17 was one of those. I had to free lots of space on my OS drive because it wouldn't let me install it on any other drive than my OS drive or C: drive. That was a bit annoying.

I ended up ordering this for PS4, and will get it today. For the longest time I had no intention of getting this, but I need a new game, and the reviews have just been amazing for it.
Nice. You should join Team Amurdica
As none of my usual clan plays, I will do that once I am able.

Played an hour this morning and my first impression of the PC port is very good beside some trees with graphic glitches and the map for some reason pops up infront of you even though you didn't press for it??, it runs really good. I didn't have time to fiddle that much but I had almost everything on max besides MSAA and some other things and it was butter smooth although I couldn't see my FPS at the time.
One tiny thing that kind of irritates me is that when you press forward to walk in 1:st person your character runs but in 3:rd you walk slowly. Would be nice to be able to walk in 1:st person, might have to press down a key for that though which I didn't try.
Haven't touched the MP yet only SP.
Edit: Should say that I updated my Nvidia drivers only after I played so the tree glitch might be because of that.
-
What kind of glitch was it? Being a tree, my guess would be it's a sorting issue for alpha blended objects, in which case updating the driver wouldn't make a difference.

I might be wrong in saying it's a "graphic glitch" because i'm not sure how to explain it besides it's not a big deal because it only affected some trees. I can say it wasn't a color glitch atleast but the trees changed position on the spot very quickly if that makes any sense. Almost like when you look at a hand drawn animation.

Has anyone else been playing this on PC? I've clocked about 9 hours on it myself.
I am pretty surprised at how well optimized this port is. I'm running this on an Apple 27in iMac Late 2012 model (using Boot Camp). Has a 3.2ghz i7, NVidia GTX 680MX 2GB, and 8gb of RAM. Now i'm not able to play in Ultra settings or anything, but most of them are at "High" or greater and i'm happy with ~40fps. It looks gorgeous!
I played through the whole game on PS3 over a year ago, and im having a great time playing through it.
Anyone want to play online? You can add me on Steam and the Social Club "Illethal_Jedi"

I was out late last night so didnt have time, but I felt the need to play the game just to see it so I played through the first mission and it was awesome! I had also played it on ps3 when it was first released so I think im going to play through again in first person this time. I am cramx3 on steam and social club, I think Ill be spending more time doing the online than playing through the game again though.
I am using a GTX770 which wont support ultra but everything is high or very high settings and looks beautiful.

So what exactly is the advantage of GTA online vs single player?
-
So what exactly is the advantage of GTA online vs single player?
The only "advantage" really is the fact that its multiplayer. Doing races, missions, heists...etc with real people. You build your own character, earn money through multiple legal (and illegal) ways. Basically interact with up to 30 other "criminals" in an open world environment. There isn't really a story like single player mode. Its basically a completely separate game.
Single Player is just the normal GTA story.
Online is more fun if you have friends to play with, or a good group of people to play with.
-
Online is better than single player in just about ever way, in my opinion. If Rockstar came out and said they were making an online only version of GTA, it wouldn't bother me for a second.
-
Yeah. I have been enjoying GTAO since it was released in 13. There's a good variety of different things to do so it will stay fresh for a while.
-
So no real advantage I can see. I prefer the whole building your own empire yourself deal of the single player. I don't need other people coming in and trolling just for the hell of it. I was watching an online stream last night and some dick was just riding around in a jet blowing everything up while the other people were trying to get things done. Screw that.
-
Its mostly fun if you got a good friends to play with. If you're going at alone it can get very frustrating.
Though Rockstar has done a good job imposing more penalties on players that simply run around and kill others, or blow up their cars...etc.
Also with friends you can join private sessions and only play with them while in free roam, so you can avoid the trolls. Its really fun being able to drive around with friends and do missions together (especially heists, which can be intense).
-
So I spent a few hours playing online last night and I got to say, Im quite dissapointed that the PC version didn't fix the issue I had with the PS3 version... I spent 10 minutes waiting to play a game that only lasts 5 minutes. Im very impatient with this, I prefer not to have to wait so long to join a quick match just to have the quick match literally be quick. Its not very fun when you sit for an hour to play a game, only to spend 1/3 of the time actually playing. I played a bit with my brother which was fun, but playing alone was not very fun.

It's rare I encounter people like that guy in the jet, and when I do, it's not at all difficult to just jump into a new session if things are getting out of hand. Or better yet, buy a heat-seeking rocket launcher, get on a roof top, and shoot the asshole down. As someone who's up to level 121 online, I'd say it has more (far more) advantages over single player than disadvantages.
-
The long loading and wait times are kind of annoying. I kept trying to play online with a friend last night, and it took forever. Sometimes one of us would load in, but not the other. Or it would just time out all together. That could be an internet issue, but I usually don't have any issues with other online games.
Now once you do find a good lobby of people and do some missions, it can work pretty seamlessly. But sometimes it can take so long just to get set up to do anything.
-
Request sent, Chino.
-
Are online missions completely new? I may take back what I said. The heists look pretty neat.
-

New missions are added all the time. Heists are fucking awesome if you're playing with people you know and everyone is using a headset.

I can't wait to see what modders do to this game.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eODDe5rZI-U
We don't need any mods after that.
-
That was absolutely hysterical :lol
-
:lol Just finished the campaign so I will eventually get a trainer.
-
The one woman at 1:07 who just looks annoyed and then keep driving.

I've picked this up again for the 360 and I'm screwing around with the post-story mode missions. I wish there was more to do but I'll have to get the PC version and go online one of these days.
One thing that's always kind of bugged me about this game is that there are like two dozen different super sports cars in this game and nearly every one of them looks and drives the exact same with some small variations here and there. I really miss the old GTAs where you only had a Cheetah and Infernus (and even a Banshee if you wanted something a little more rugged) but now the selection is overwhelmingly samey and not very special. I have a lot more fun taking something like a Peyote and turning it into a pimp mobile.
-

So you beat the game at a 100%? Or simply just beat the story? I beat it a 100% on the PS3, and am about to do the same on the PS4 version. This time around though, I will see if I can complete ALL stint jumps and knife flights etc. :hat
-
I'm at about 82%. Stunt jumps and hunting missions sort of bore me. I wish there were more actual side missions to do.
-
I'm at about 82%. Stunt jumps and hunting missions sort of bore me. I wish there were more actual side missions to do.
Hunting, yeah, that's very boring! At least the game counts it toward a 100% as soon as I make bronze, or I am going to give it up! :lol
I thought this game does have enough side mission to do, but looking back I wouldn't mind they actually "lock" most of the side missions until after the story is cleared. That way players would "feel" like they are getting something "extra", or an "incentive" to beat the game sooner!
What slightly bugs me is, I can't buy food or drinks to recharge my health as easily as in GTV IV on the street! :tdwn
-
Well this version of online is significantly better than 4's so I think Rockstar would have thought that could keep people busy after beating the main game.
I played the intro online heist with my brother yesterday and it was really cool and fun. Then we tried to do the next one which requires 4 people so we got it going with two strangers who could not get past the first part of the first mission without dying constantly and making us restart >:( Very frustrating, I wish there was a way to revive or something so random crappy players didn't keep costing the enjoyment of players who know what they are doing.
-
So apparently Rockstar is banning people for using mods even in single player.
-
Yea i've heard, it's crazy. I hope they soon have unofficial and dedicated servers, that would ease out people using mods on official servers. There's even a mod that lets you invite friends on your own server.
https://fivem.net
Rockstar should have had that on day one.
-
So my brother was playing online and he said he started following a car that was dropping bags of money. He ended up gathering about 2 million before the guy stopped. He still has this "free" money online, I am assuming the guy who was dropping the bags was modding, but we are both very confused by what happened. My brother recorded a video of it as proof to me he wasn't making it up.
-
Vid or it didn't happen.
-
haha Ill have to check with him to see if he can share it (im sure he can since he used the in game recording) but have you or anyone else heard of this? He tried to google to figure out what happened but the only thing he could find was that he somehow landed on a private server that someone was modding. BUt I still don't get how he was able to keep the money. He is making me very jealous of all his money.

He was probably using a simple trainer to spawn in unlimited cash.
As far as I know there are no private servers.
I used simple trainer on GTA IV and it was alot of fun. When you used it online you automatically joined servers only using mods so you ended up playing only with modders which was alot of fun. Just pure on crazy!
-
But how is that allowed? I get if you mod you play with modders so its a level playing field, but my brother doesn't mod and ended up with free 2 million dollars. I want that free money!
I'll probably be playing online a lot tonight after work.

I don't think they have a cheatpool system like in GTA IV, haven't played online that much and I definitly haven't used any mods or trainers given the banhammers. Simply put you aren't allowed to use any mods at all online or even SP as it seems. I guess the anti-cheat system dosen't detect everyone using mods or something like that.
-
So I tried the angry plan mod today...
https://youtu.be/RWrGSVT1VRc
:lol
-
Is GTAV the new Skyrim in terms of dumb joke mods?
-
All games have joke mods, i'm not sure what your saying? If your looking for serious mods you'll have to give the modders some time. iCEnhancer for GTA V is under development for example. I think in the beginning lots of "easy" mods will surface because people are playing with the game files and lurking around on what they can do. Once the game has been around for a year some heavy mods will most likely surface.
Still though the funny, stupid and dumb mods will always pop up.
The "angry plan" mod was the first mod I tried for GTA V. I also have a simple trainer.

Keylogger and trojans found inside Angry Planes and other mods. I'm on mobile at work so I can't post the link to remove the viruses.

Yep, here's info:
https://gtaforums.com/topic/794383-possibility-of-trojan-downloaderspyware-installed-via-gta-v-mod/#entry1067463416
:-\
Fucking douchebag! Pretty serious stuff going on. My first and last mod for GTA V for a while atleast. :angry:
Here's some good info even though I don't understand half of it:
I'm going to chime in because I was also unwittingly infected on May 8th, by the Angry Planes ASI mod.
I was able to do a bit more sleuthing.
The initial code executed acts as a loader for another standard trojan (one of the many RAT trojans available out there).
The trojan that becomes resident in the system and appears as the csc.exe process is quite interesting.
It's very basic, but loads several modules that add capabilities to it. These modules can consist of pre-compiled DLLs or Visual C# and C# code which it will compile using the installed .NET Framework on the system.
The loader is highly obsfucated using Redgate SmartAssembly. The modules rolled out with the loader are included as an encrypted resource blob in the loader. Because of this analyzing the compile executable is very difficult. The easiest way to actually analyze the activity is to load the virus/malware into a virtual machine and capture memory dumps of the running process. This was you get most of the decoded dlls/code which remain resident in memory.
I can confirm what the OP said about logging and also confirm that I located the encryption key. However, I did not spend the time to determine the procedures to decrypt the log file as most of the contents were also unencrypted in memory
My first clue that something was going wrong, and the first memory dump I got of the process in action was when the administrator of the trojan sent a command to start UDP flooding an IP in Denmark at around 10AM EST on May 11th.
According to the log, shortly before this UDP Flood module was activated, he also activated a Twitch chat flooding module.
The target of these attacks was:
https://www.twitch.tv...thedanishviking
77.68.209.7
Further investigation revealed the following modules active:
Facebook spam/credential stealing module
Twitch spam/credential stealing module
Messenger.com spam/credential stealing module
A Steam spamming module
A Steam module that evaluates the items in your inventory and their value based on current market value
A Keylogger module that logs individual button presses in an XML like format, it also includes information about context switches (switching from one app/window to another)
A UDP flooding module
There were others I hadn't deciphered and didn't see in action.
All of the spam/credential stealing modules above will attempt to rip your session cookies for each of the above sites from IE/Chome/Firefox and use the credentials to do their thing.
It stores all this information in a Session#.bin file as described above and ships it to the RAT admin's server.
Now, here's the juciest and most useful bit.
The C&C server is apcrypt.duckdns.org which resolves to 45.58.121.105. It's a cheap windows VPS with a company called https://www.cloudieweb.com/which is utilizing dedicated server rented from Choopa.com
This server is running Remote Desktop on 3389 as well as a webserver, which I believe is acting as an endpoint/C&C server for the RAT. The RAT uses SSL to communicate with this server so I was unable to spy any of that activity in an meaningful way in the time I had available.
Tool used to investigate:
ProcessExplorer
WinDbg
Jetbrains DotPeek
Strings (https://technet.micr...s/bb897439.aspx)
Wireshark
IMPORTANT/TL;DR:
If you didn't read/understand all of the above the most important thing to take from this is that everything you typed while infected is in the malware admin's hands. Your active/logged in sessions to Facebook/Twitch/Youtube/Steam are in his hands. Change all your passwords, logout and log back in to every site mentioned above to invalidate the existing session.
p.s. I will include some strings from the modules referenced above in the following post.

Wow, good to know as I install my free copy of GTA V from my new GPU purchase. I already beat the campaign on PS3, but it'll be great to go through it all again on max settings.
-
Good thing I haven't messed with any mods. In fact, I never have.
-
It's kind of ironic that this event has almost been lika a hardcore PSA that we should be careful with what we install on our PCs or else..... So in a way it's a good thing.

Seems like we might get new single player content afterall:

Looks like that is for PC only?
Id imagine it would be PC and next gen only like the rest of the DLC that has been coming out.
Personally, I don't deny it, but wouldn't put faith in it. Rockstar has been leaving little easter eggs like this in the code for awhile to draw speculation. Some of which has come true, some has not. It would be cool if it were true though.
-
Having played the PS3 version to completion when it first came out, I didn't really think I was going to get the PS4 version, but it was $29 bucks on ebay so I figured what the hell and I am so glad I did.
This thing is incredible. The graphics are way better, there's more people, more cars, more animals. Looks super sharp and playing in first person makes it feel like a brand new game. Loving it.
-
Wow, really? So, you'd recommend it? I've played through the story on PS3 a bunch of times. I may have to look into this...
-
I'd recommend it. Game looks absolutely gorgeous, especially when compared to last gen's version. Those sunsets in the desert... oooooh yeah...
-
Next gen/PC also has all of the new online features so if you are into that, then even more so worth it. I hated online on the PS3, but online on PC is great. Also all of the extra content is free.
-
I might actually see if i can find a cheap copy today after work. It had soooooo much replay value for me on PS3 that it just makes sense that I would love it on my new ps4 <3
I never played online on PS3. It seems like it would be better if you had mates playing it, and I don't have any mates full stop.

It's definitely more fun to play with someone, but the online mode is where the real replay value is. It's still fun solo and the heists are definitely worth playing, essentially if you don't play those you are missing out on probably the best part of the game.

I haven't touched the solo play since Online launched. I really don't see the point. Outside of missions for the campaign, there's nothing I can do in single player that I can't do online, and there's a shitload of stuff I can do online that I can't do in single player. In my eyes, Grand Theft Auto Online is one of the greatest accomplishments in the history of gaming.

So my brother has finally decided to play the single player mode and he started the game over so he could play the stock market and make a ton of money before the game is over.... I questioned why he would want all this money in single player mode and his answer was to buy stuff, but I was like... "Uh, we play online together and you have millions of dollars to buy stuff there, what's the point of having it in single player?" I didn't get a good response back from him :lol

That's the only difference between solo and online, the ability to buy properties. Granted, you can buy apartments and garages online, but you can't buy the golf course. I don't see the appeal of doing so either.

Yes, that was what he wanted to do, buy properties, but what is the point? Once the game is over, besides fucking around, there isn't much point to earning money. I'd rather invest the time in earning money online, but then again, we both played the shit out of online mode so I guess he just wanted something else to do.

Well according to this, single player DLC for GTA5 is unlikely since work is already starting on 6 and I guess GTA will be likely sticking in the US for it's cities.
-
I don't think we'll ever see a GTA outside of the US. There are no other countries that can provide the amount of satire material that ours does.
I'd like to see an even bigger map than the one we got in GTA-V. I think the next gen graphics were fine, and I'd be perfectly content if they left them the same in order to give us more of an environment.

Agreed, I would think 6 could come out quicker than 5 did after 4 because they can keep the same engine and just expand based solely on next gen. A new bigger city, new single player, and then focus on making more heists for online and I am sold (granted, just saying GTA6 and I am sold).

I'd also like to see the return of some interiors as well. We haven't been able to walk into a mall with a flame thrower since Vice City! I hope Rockstar irons out the first person controls. I htought they were awful in the re release. It looked gorgeous, but it played like shit (at least on PS4). If they could somehow take the control schemes from Far Cry 4 and get them into the GTA environment (throw VR support in there too), it'd be one of the best first person games ever.

Never liked the FP view in GTA5. Hurts your view of what's around you compared to 3rd person. It was a cool idea, but I just didn't see a real use to it other than playing death matches and having it feel like a poor FPS game.

I feel that way to a degree at times. Have you ever played a recent Far Cry title though? 3 and 4 were absolutely perfect from a FPV perspective. They looked great and played extremely well. You have no other option than to play with that view, but the controls and camera work are so well done, I don't even end up caring. I think I would still prefer the third person view for driving though.

I have not, but I play enough FPS games to know that GTA5 could have been better, but I also wouldn't use it to drive and even if the FPV was better, I still wouldn't use it except maybe if there was a huge gun battle because the best advantage is for shooting in that view.

Wow Rockstar made a lot of money on microtransactions in gta.
I honestly don't understand why anyone would spend real money for GTA money, but to each their own. Regardless, it seems to be a cash cow and as the article thinks, it'll probably have a bigger impact on future GTAs.

I bought a $20 shark card to buy the monster truck. I really wanted it and didn't feel like grinding and having to wait. It was supposed to be availanle for a limited time, so I said what the hell. In all honesty, GTA Online is one of the greatest gaming accomplishments ever, for free no less. I've been playing for a solid two years and don't mind supporting the developers. Only game I've had a microtransaction in.

Since you've been playing so long, do you think you would have rather not spent that 20? I didn't get big into the online until the PC version was released with heists and that's a big way to make money so I never really had a cash problem in the game which is why I said paying real money seemed like a waste.

Doesn't bother me that I spent it at all. If voluntary, massive financial support helps Rockstar keeps modders at may, I'm kind of happy to do it. You brought up a good point though. I purchased long before heists, much earlier in GTA Online's lifie. Back then, the biggest pay out you could get was $18k for one particular mission, but most ranged in the $9k-$13K range. After having to pay to resupply ammo, saving up $750 K for a monster truck could take a while. And like I said, it was only available for a limited time, I really wanted it, and I was afraid I wouldn't have been able to earn all the money before then. $20 is nothing for something that gave me 2+ years worth of entertainment and otherwise free support and DLC on a very regular basis.

San Andreas MAP in GTA V (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44f2gEpF2ag)
Perfect song, so much nostalgia!

I find it rather amazing that it's been 11 years since the trailer for GTA-V dropped and we still haven't seen a trailer for GTA-VI. I'm getting impatient!
I've been playing a lot of GTA-Online recently and it's sucked me right back in.

I refuse to get back into GTAV because it'll just give the devs more reason to support it rather than focus more on 6. I know it's not entirely that related, but you can't argue the success of GTA V online is a huge reason why Rockstar hasn't exactly done much with anything thing else.

I'm wondering if Rockstar said something like "There's still plenty of money to be made with V, let's just release 6 later", or "GTA-V exceeded all of our expectations. We need to rethink our approach to VI. Start from scratch".
I'm thinking it was a combination of the two. I doubt that when Rockstar was planning GTA-V's online functionality they were thinking they'd have to support it (because of unexpected demand) for nearly a decade. I wouldn't be surprised if they went back to the drawing board with VI with that in mind.

Yeah I have no idea what their internal discussions would look like, but you know just how much it sucked that Rockstar hardly supported RDR2 online and that still bothers me and makes me not want to give them my money or time until they make the next game. Having said that, I do not have issues waiting for them to release a finished functioning product which I'm sure is more likely the case these days than say 3 years ago.
