Well, I am too hyped. September 17 and now October 1 can't come soon enough.

 

[The M.O.B]

This is one of stupidest looking walking animations this gen.

 

[ButchCat]

It's okay I guess, it bulds on RDR free roaming and that's a good thing. Still, I was expecting more.

 

[Hip Hop]

Meh, only 16 players.

Wouldn't expect any other thing. It's current gen, there are bound to be many limitations.

Like I said, being current gen is sure holding back a lot of stuff.

Hope the PC version delivers more.

 

[Ravensmash]

Man the hyperbole in this thread. Of course it looks very good, but calling it GOTY already? Sigh

As a GTA fan, I'm struggling to think of any genuine competition.

Heck as a gaming fan I'm struggling.

 

[pushBAK]

You know this, how?

I assume this because R* has only shown screens/videos from the PS3.

 

[Xcell Miguel]

Is there a download link for the video available yet? Thanks!

[deli2000]

I am SO going to fuck over my friends doing heists.

 

[WhenItsLate]

You never needed a next gen console, just that said ideas were kept back for marketing reasons and percentage of connected devices.

Well yeah, that's part of what I was trying to say. Really impressive stuff for two "aging" consoles.

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

Wait, I don't get it, it'll be a standalone game that GTAV buyers get for free?

No, but it's possible they could expand it to be a stand alone thing down the line I suppose. Right now it's only for GTA V, but won't start until 2 weeks after the GTA V launch.

 

[Ghost23]

Why do you care that people are excited? Is it pissing in your cereal?

Because this is how I felt before gta 4, and you know how that turned out. I want to keep my hopes up, but I don't want to let myself get too hyped again.

 

[rrs]

SWOOOOOOOOP!

now to brass tax: PS3 or 360?

PS3, Rockstar unlocked the Cell.

 

[Chezzymann]

Wait, I don't get it, it'll be a standalone game that GTAV buyers get for free?

How could it be a standalone game? That's like asking if halo 4's multiplayer can be a standalone game.

 

[CaptainTiptop]

Sigh, I wasn't gonna pre-order this but I guess I kinda have to now.

 

[Dug]

It's a shame about the October 1st thing. I was looking forward to free roaming with friends after playing some singleplayer but I guess that will have to wait 2 weeks.

 

[Wind's Howling]

I absolutely love what I am reading:

If your buddy stiffs you on your share of the profit, you can either chase him down and steal it for yourself or keep your hands clean by hiring a hitman to take him out--it's your call. The game even tracks who your rivals are and lets you know when they've come online so that you can exact a little vengeance.

Instead of protecting cars, you'll be able to engage in a bit of lighthearted market manipulation by investing your money in a car manufacturer and running around town destroying every one of those models you come across. Suddenly that company is going to be pumping out a whole lot of new cars. Nice time to be a stockholder, eh?

Beyond little touches like this, you can use your apartment for more practical uses, as well--like getting your friends together to go over the details of a heist in your planning room or keeping a watchful eye on your 10-car garage using a closed-circuit security camera feed. Hell, you can even take a shower to wash off the blood after a particularly brutal mission.

 

[Blue_Barry]

The fact that this is a standalone game, indicates to me that they have had a dedicated team/division on this, which is fucking great.

 

[Hamlet]

Super impressive stuff
seems like it'll be the closest thing to a GTA MMO for the time being

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

GTAV butts .
Yay

 

[Reule]

I know this is free with GTA V copies but will they sell this separately? That'd be so great. I have a few friends who aren't big into GTA but may play the multiplayer. It's looks so good, I can already see myself spending so much time in this.

 

[deleted]

I somehow fear right now, that we are in a RDR situation where we won't hear from the PC version again - when was the GTA IV version announced? After the console release?

This looks awesome! Looks like it won't be beaten by other open world games for a very long time.

 

[panty]

So this isn't part of V? You have to buy this separate?

Wat

 

[Ghost23]

As a GTA fan, I'm struggling to think of any genuine competition.

Heck as a gaming fan I'm struggling.

TLOU? A month ago we were all talking about how nothing could possibly beat it as GOTY...


Don't get me wrong, I hope this is amazing and as deep as the trailers make it, I'm just saying getting too hyped can be a dangerous path.

 

[Fjordson]

So this isn't part of V? You have to buy this separate?

Wat

No. Free with GTA V. Probably just an online pass type of situation.

 

[Chezzymann]

So this isn't part of V? You have to buy this separate?

Wat

I guess the reason people keep thinking this is a separate game is because they kinda made it sound like an MMO when its nothing close to one at all?

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

SWOOOOOOOOP!

now to brass tax: PS3 or 360?

Now most Rockstar games and open world games in general have been running better on the 360 but you need to wait for DF to have the definitive answer

 

[chickdigger802]

hope with rockstar social, my ps3 progress will transfer to pc ;_;

no it won't

 

[phosphor112]

I absolutely love what I am reading:

That fucking detail.

 

[keltickennedy]

Love that Rockstar will give us time to play the single player first.

Yeah. I actually kind of like it, even if it is an intentional delay or not, it will be nice to play a good bit of the single player and get to understand the mechanics and discover sweet locations you will eventually want to travel to with friends.

That was the one thing about RDR, I kind of spoiled a lot of the open world playing the multiplayer free roam while also tackling the campaign. The "mexico introduction" didn't have as big of an impact on me as it did for people who went into it fresh.

 

[Hip Hop]

I hope they bring back "Hide your blimp" feature from GTA IV multiplayer.


You would only show up on the radar if you were in the vicinity of other players. Makes for some great sneaking fun.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

I don't care for online play normally but this looks phenomenal

 

[LtOrange]

This just looks amazing and I can see myself pouring hours into this multiplayer. Now they just need to confirm work on a next gen port and the ability to transfer stats. If they are going to keep expanding upon this mode I don't want to have to keep going back to the PS3.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

hope with rockstar social, my ps3 progress will transfer to pc ;_;

no it won't

I laughed

then I got sad

 

[DodgerSan]

I assume that private lobbies are still possible? IS it confirmed anywhere?

Otherwise it's going to be a griefer's paradise, fucking up someone elses carefully planned out race or mission.

 

[saladine1]

Can I play the online portion by myself or do I always need friends to play with?

 

[Spongebob]

I want a next-gen release so bad.

 

[Portugeezer]

This game just keeps on giving.

OMFG how is this all possible in a single game?

Because Rockstar.

 

[uncharted86]

Can I play the online portion by myself or do I always need friends to play with?

They say you can in the trailer.

 

[The Albatross]

TLOU? A month ago we were all talking about how nothing could possibly beat it as GOTY...

Uhhh... who said nothing could possibly beat TLOU as game of the year, knowing that GTA5 was coming out a couple months later? EIther people who have zero interest in GTA5/open-world games or somebody who didn't know GTA5 was coming out.

TLOU is my game of the year so far for 2013. But... I wouldn't ever think that it "couldn't be beaten" by anything... Especially with this bomb being dropped in 4 weeks.

 

[PerZona]

Holy shit the content in GTA V is insane. And not to mention now the Online mode is even MORE insane. Oh wow, how did Rockstar manage to do it? It's amazing!

But since now GTA Online is a separate game from GTA V so does it means that it functions like a online MMO or something? I hope that we can access our character or profile in any platform but doubt it's happening though =/

 

[The perfect Dark]

ummm yeah

 

[BigDug13]

Wait, I don't get it, it'll be a standalone game that GTAV buyers get for free?

Not exactly standalone as you will still need the single player game's 8GB install and constant disc in the drive.

 

[panty]

I guess the reason people keep thinking this is a separate game is because they kinda made it sound like an MMO when its nothing close to one at all?

Yeah extremely weird way of stating what this is.

 

[WhenItsLate]

On concern I have (though I'm only theorising, we have no idea yet) is that they will simply pump out the SP and leave it as is, while GTA online will continually get all the new content.
Loved GTAIV's episodes, so I hope this won't be the case.

 

[Storm Chamber]

That feeling when online looks awesome...then the crushing reality sets in that you're more than likely to be playing with 13 or younger year olds screaming into mics, sabotaging things you've set up while your actual friends have conflicting schedules.

Thank you!

 

[Green Yoshi]

Best game ever but why do the explosions look worse than in GTA IV?

 

[Stone Ocean]

How could it be a standalone game? That's like asking if halo 4's multiplayer can be a standalone game.

Giving it a separate name, releasing later as a download, and the Benzies interview make it sound like it could be sold standalone.

 

[Trick_GSF]

Good grief this is amazing.

 

[Portugeezer]

How are the chances for a PS4 version? I really want to play it on PS4.

Good chance, but don't expect them to mention a next gen versions any time soon. They want people to buy it now, on consoles they own.
