New GTA V Trailers "MICHAEL. FRANKLIN. TREVOR."
- Thread starter KyleN
- Start date
The sales and massive following suggest otherwise. No other open world game is better at such parody.
While I love me some Al Bundy, Michael and his wife despise each other by the time GTA V starts, so I don't think Michael is getting much at home.

I wasn't even hyped for this, but that's how you make a motherfuckin trailer.
I want to dig out my queen albums now.

Well, like any game by Rockstar, don't expect that footage until we're much closer to release. Don't give up hope!

no wait
wait
get this
America's Next Top HOOKER
(everybody laughs uproariously)
THAT makes it in, people! Let's lunch.
That has me a little worried, I really hoping we could have seen wildlife at least on half the level of RDR but even that might be a stretch too far.
Hope they release a dedicated trailer just for wildlife soon.
Day 1 buy.
Oh wait, no confirmed PC version yet, nvm
It will be on PC, but obviously not launch day. Probably in 2014.
I guess now is a perfect time to re watch the fat kid crying over GTAV's delay..

People purchase GTA games solely to experience the hilarity of Republican Space Rangers
Prominent gangs are large criminal organizations though. The only difference between the mafia and gangbangers is that the term "gangbanger" is more commonly associated with racial minorities, and that the mafia has been effectively romanticized by movies like The Godfather. That said, there is nothing about the mafia that lends itself to "better storytelling" than gangbanging. That doesn't even make sense.
Yeah, that commercial was pretty funny. Humour is subjective. What's your point?
Jist of this conversation:
Some people don't enjoy the gangbanger thing, OMG RACIST!!!
They enjoy the old school mafia thing, OMG MAKES NO SENSE!!!
Just opinions, people are just trying to push that racist shit out of the way. Has nothing to do with that.

I had not heard of such a thing, but that would be awesome.

People are calling the Franklin trailer racist? That's some Fox news shit right there.
You talk about Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire, yet conveniently leave out The Wire which is considered by many to be one of the best television shows of all time?
And under your definition, City of God would be a Hood film (and it is), and it stands toe to toe with the best of cinema. And Menace 2 Society, Boyz in the Hood, Fresh, Training Day, Sin Nombre, La Haine, Clockers, etc. are all wonderful Hood films. I honestly don't understand your position. You're suggesting that the Italian Mafia subject matter deserves credence for The Godfather and Goodfellas being GREAT films, and not the fact that two of the best directors of all time happened to direct them?

I don't think the satire was quite as clever in GTAIV, but in some of the earlier games it was absolutely dead on. You shouldn't judge the whole franchise by IV.
Crazy is it sounds, it's the bolded I'm really excited about. Weather in RDR made that game shine like no other game. Just standing there, hearing the distant thunder and the grey clouds slowly moving in and next, you had the most atmospheric thunderstorm I've ever seen in a game. If they can capture that in a GTA game ... I might cry.

my usual GTA Cycle begins. The trailers look awesome the game seems like so much fun in my head, you can do everything man. Then it comes out, i buy it, steal a car, shoot a guy and get bored.
I have no reason to take you seriously unless you can come up with an open world game that does parodies better.
GTA even parodies the internet, and it does a pretty good job of it.
Also I have the America's Next Top Hooker ringtone so screw you lol.

All three look pretty great, Rockstar knows how to do trailers.
On the surface of it Franklin's story almost seems like a rehash of Carl's, except in San Andreas it was Carl getting back into it and getting respect. It seems like everybody is telling Franklin in that trailer that he isn't doing it the way they want him to, so I think they are going in a different direction. Damn at the nostalgia vibes creeping in with some of those shots though.
I could see how you could be suspicious of the game matching up to what the trailer presented, but I don't see how this can't be good.

That was not running on a current gen console.
PC or next gen?
Both?

Only game worthy of that phrase " DAY 1"
Didn't even think of the different threads we see in the trailer. Multiple outfits in there for all three characters.
Like every GTA game, my guys will be decked out in the dopest expensive suits.
I also wonder if all three will start out with their own safe house. Like the mansion for Michael. Hopefully with some sweet vehicle spawns in his driveway.
GTA is full of stereotypes, this is no different. Some people take offence to this that's no surprise.

Just because they do it better than the rest of their genre doesn't mean they do it well. Grand Theft Auto is to Saints Row as Scary Movie 1 and 2 are to Epic Movie.
Their shit might be better, but it's not saying a whole lot for the genre as a whole.
I don't know what to tell you. Since the the 1970's through this very day mafia stories have been far and away better than gangbanger stories. So either it lends itself better to storytelling or no one has been able to create a truly great gangbanger story in the past 40 years. It's not like there haven't been a ton of gangbanger stories made.
Point me to one if it exists and I will glady watch/read it. I have watched The Wire but that is at least as much a police show as it is a gangbanger show.
They're friends from the military, IIRC.

ITT we underestimate the power of PS3/360.
People buy GTA to walk around a city causing chaos and have fun. I know when I discuss GTA with my friends we don't mention how great of a parody/satire it is of U.S. life.

I guess he just prefers Freckle Bitches. There's so much DLC for Saint's Row. Too bad "humour" isn't one of them.

This post makes too much sense.
...and those who consider them to be terrible at parody forget that Rockstar is intentionally corny and tongue-in-cheek.
