At work, and started to watch one of the trailers when a strip club scene popped up. Quickly scrambled to close browser. Guess i'll have to watch these later at home, hehe

New helicopter camera??

the car's slide looks so realistic.

REALLY hope they at least have that camera for the heli, or for that heli at least. Much better to use.
 
Trevor already looks insufferably monkey cheese wacky. I'd have traded him for a dirty cop who gets in deep with the others and has to hide his/her dealings from the LSPD.

Man I'd love for rockstar to try their hand at a police type game like that, where the player can choose to stay good or become corrupt.

Probably just for the trailer. Maybe we can use the cinematic camera angle to get this though, would be nice.

My problem with GTAIV is how it took out from San Andreas and how bland the city was after having such a rich diversity in SA. The excuse I thought to myself was "new engine, new rules, new problems for the programmers". I don't see how R* wont rectify that with GTA V.

If anything, I'm disappointed with the modern setting and lack of snow. I wonder if they are afraid to go back to the 90's or 80's. I'd love realistic weather-- winter, snowstorms, rainstorms... The vibe in San Andreas and Vice City was stunning. Imagine playing that with occulus rift.

I didn't get that with GTA IV or 3. I hate the urban domination of both those games. GTA seems amazing with the right theme. The way the world comes to life in VC and SA is the pinnacle.

Hoping GTA V's diversity and comparted themes end up surpassing what they had. I love how it can possibly have something for everyone.
I'm with you, I love me some varied weather.

There's a screenshot floating around taken during a thunderstorm that looks pretty sweet. I remember Red Dead had awesome thunderstorms, so I bet this will also. Snow would be cool, but I doubt we'll see any since this is basically Los Angeles. Maybe in the mountains, I don't know how extensive the mountain areas are going to be.
 
So, from all of the trailers I have seen there is absolutly no possible way this game can be on a single disk for the Xbox 360. GTA IV pretty much maxed out the disk space but based on the amount of content GTA V is going to have it could easily be 2+ disks. Hopefully (if it is 2+ disks) then we have the option to install one and never need to swap them later.
 
Cliched portrayal of a black guy trying to leave the hood, there doesn't seem to be much depth to his character besides that. You can say Trevor is also a bit of a cliche but he suits the role of being the main character in GTAV quite well, and Michael definitely isn't cliche.
So Michael>Trevor>Franklin.

Interesting. While I agree about the hoodrat escaping the hood is a bit cliche'd, I'd say Michael's character is about the same, for every Menace To Society, there's an Ocean's Eleven, Heat, or something similar.

That's the point of GTA characters, they ARE cliche's of what is going on in society. I don't understand why people haven't just accepted this.

They look good.
Of course if you think a "huge budget" can overcome console's technical limitations, that's another issue.
You can't overcome physics by throwing money at it.

The characters in Watch Dogs look much better for example and not because of horsepower reasons.
 
Vice City had the best atmosphere of all the GTA games though. Just something about that miami vice era was calming. SA would be second though I didn't really care for the areas towards the end of the game. IV was absolutely boring. Hated IV's character, setting, locations everything was just so drab imo. The PC version with mods helped it out a lot but vanilla GTA IV is so grey.

Yea, all 3 of them are pretty cliche and par for course. The fact that everybody is pointing out Franklin as being boring is pretty dumb when they're all equally "boring".
With that said, I think they're all pretty interesting and seemingly fleshed out.

All three characters are a deconstruction of the GTA classic character, they have said as much.
They should be seen in this optic, more than individual characters.

"Not because of horsepower reasons"

Talks about a game shown on PC, made for next-gen consoles and also getting a last-gen release we haven't seen.

People expecting that much of a SANDBOX game on LAST-GEN consoles really need to get a fucking reality check.

Why are people fucking acting like this doesn't mean one can be more interesting than the other???
 
Whoooo I can't wait I just keep coming back to this thread. I'm so happy The last of Us comes out in June so It'll hold me down for the summer as I hope the MP is fun and September comes through and it's fuck my social life.

Lol.
First of all you haven't seen that game on a ps3 or 360 yet, we've seen only the PC version of a cross gen game.
Second of all the scope of the game seems quite smaller in WatchDogs, you most likely cant fly a plane for example, so the way they feed you the map and the details in is probably not as taxing.

Can't wait. Love what they have done with the characters. Hopefully it will be on some reasonably powerful platform though... The footage is a bit rough at edges.
 
I am a little disappointed by that too. Not enough to kill my interest, but disappointed still.


How would she be repped though? I'm having a hard time imagining the fanbase opening up or being comfortable playing a woman. Wonder how a crude woman would be portrayed. Butch? Feminine? Psychotic blonde barbie doll? May have been interesting, but I don't think they wanted to do something so risky.

On top of that, I wonder if they will ever make a young protagonist. Like an 18-21 year old kid.

Ohh, they should have had a stereotypical guy who doesn't say a word, Claude Speed-style

And what about other minorities like Indians, Mexicans, Chinese like in Chinatown Wars?

Guess women and other minorities will serve as punchlines/minor roles or for spin offs. Can't blame them, but it'd be amazing if they did something totally experimental...just not worth it for their main, tried and true baby

Game does not look like a current-gen open-world game.

Dat PS4 launch date reveal. (Nextbox is rumoured to launch in Nov, no?)
 
quick question - did rockstar ever say they're not putting in san fierro or las venturas in this game?

I did a quick google search but maybe I overlooked official word about it...

What are you guys going to do when you first boot up the game?? After the inevitable escort ai companion to his safehouse mission, I may just go on a rampage blowing up running over people and ramming cars. I could probably play GTA V for a month just bullshitting around before ever touching a mission. I knew people that NEVER did missions in GTA.

Take a walk, see the sights, try out different vehicles. I'm not in to that whole vigilante stuff like you ^^

Dont a lot of games use better models in cutscenes? Im mainly talking about how bad the characters look in those.

Yeah but you don't want to create a complete disconnect from gameplay to cutscene, especially if, like they said, they want to have them seamlessly integrated in the gameplay, like in Max Payne 3.

Games like The Last of Us, Beyond, GTAV and Ground Zeroes are making me question if developers have been incompetent for the first 5 years of the console generation, lazy, or if having that extra year really helps.

I've yet to play any of those games, however, so these graphics remain in the realm of fantasy.

I so wish this was out during the Summer!

Keep watching things in slow motion, picking them apart. Still Team Franklin though!

Maybe but a lot of games are about 3800% smaller in scope than GTA, has a lot less going for it and is a LOT less complex. Creating separate characters would just mean more space used which I doubt they'd want to spend it on when they already have that DL DVD filled to the brim. Also, the characters look great - Making it sound like they are cardboard cutouts.

And that.

The car chase scenes don't give the impressions that they are gameplay even in cockpit view it looks like a cutscene to me.
