I usually only get a game that either i know has 50+ hours of content or i will replay like most Nintendo games i replay i love platformers and such but shooters unless it has a good MP i dont buy it and Good MP for me is rare as i only like shooters with arena like qualities fast movement and longer kill times

Yeah it's perfect timing. After 2 weeks of enjoying the single player, BOOM a whole new game arrives.
It is, but I can't afford to pick the game up right away at launch and my friends will be playing it on launch day.
edit: i seem to have misunderstood, GTA Online comes out after the main game, was confused for a minute. That's helpful!

what a massive undertaking to put all that in. Amazing. I like the delayed release after the single player personally, seems like it would be sensory overload for it to all hit at once.

Looks alright. Silly that it is essentially delayed out of the box though.

I've never really liked a GTA game (I don't like playing as a bad guy), but this game has me excited on all fronts. I reserved my copy for the PS3 a couple of days ago.

Their trailers thus far have only shown PS3 button prompts, so I'm going to assume that's the version to get much like what happened with Red Dead Redemption's footage showing 360 prompts (which performed favorably on the 360).
Some interesting stuff from the CVG interview.
- If say you and a friend want to do a heist that requires 8 people, but you can't get 6 other players to join you, you can call in some backup and essentially they will become bots so you can do the heist.
- If you want to be an ass, enter a race, then during it, call in an Air Strike on the lead car.
- You can set up playlists. So you can create an epic land - sea - air race.

That's fine. If they need more time to work on the multiplayer part while we play the singleplayer, then I don't see the issue. They're not delaying the game, just an aspect for whatever reason they have. I personally like it because it gives me two weeks to play through the story in the singleplayer without having to worry about meeting friends to play online.
If you look at some of the ads, they only have the PS3 logo. Sony is probably has some sort of deal worked out to showcase the PS3 version and put emphasis on it. It will be interesting to see side by side comparisons though.
I hope the negative feedback doesn't get too carried away. Its GTA online, things are going to happen and plans will be sabotage from time to time.
What I don't understand is how the property/money system will work. Will all of that reset once you join a new game? How can two people own the same apartment?

Its going to be fun 
I'm assuming when you and your crew visit the a block of apartments, you are given a choice of which rooms to visit, depending on which rooms you have permissions to visit. The apartment owner probably has to set permissions (nobody/crew/everyone). So multiple rooms could occupy the same building.

I believe the owner has to "buzz you up". So infinite rooms that are invite-only I would suppose.

Launching the multiplayer mode a month later is a smart way to try and limit the amount of used copies that hit the market so soon after launch.
It's two weeks, not a month.
If you haven't seen it, the 720p download version from Gamersyde is much better than the Youtube quality stream:

I'm ok with it. This means it's a separate game that rides off the same game world. Different development team, seems to have its own campaign, it's really 2 games in one purchase. One game right away and another game 2 weeks later.

There is AI. Apparently as much as the single player campaign. Pedestrians, cops, etc.

Grove Street?
"everyone" meaning? It's 16 player online at the same time, anyone else would be an npc.

I don't tend to stick with online games but I'm not against trying them. Looks pretty neat. Wonder what new environments it might get later and if there will be corresponding single-player DLC to go with it. Also curious how all these activities are going to be organized.
I think the silent generic main character you play online is going to make for less memorable scenarios. The arguing between the main character and ancillary characters in the GTA games are some of the most amusing sections of the story. I hope the online stuff doesn't feel dead. The general online gameplay with 16 players who, unlike when you play single-player, have no sense of self-preservation might make for some chaotic gameplay(not in a good way). I didn't play much of GTAIV online though. Maybe a non-issue.
Not too exciting for someone who isn't into multiplayer so much. Single-player games and multiplayer games have very different ideals.
I'll have to see if there was any further updates to this reveal tomorrow. I only watched the trailer and I have to sleep now!
EDIT: Damn why am I still reading things?! I need to sleep!
This is really confusing right now. 16 players but with so many activities I wonder how you'll arrange to do things and at what level can others interfere?
Persistent? How? If it isn't technically an MMO than this is hard to make sense of. I mean where is your apartment? Is it actually part of the map?

There is no Guarantee its possible with a slim chance but i would not bank on it i dont think SA got a 360 port so i say this and the pc is the only releases
Punctuation dude, please.

This looks fantastic. The custom missions will really extend the life of the game on top of what seems to be a packed game already. Very excited. I'm wondering if we'll get a comparison of either game for both PS3 and 360 as I'm unsure as to which version to buy.
Well this time their budget is so ridiculous and it should be so easy to port the PC version to next gen. They will probably want the extra sales and possible double dips.

R* budget for this game is massive...and the hype for it will be equally impressive...trust me, if this doesn't sell a gazillion units and they don't make back there money and then some, they won't be making anymore lol...
I'm hyped too, but people need to realize how many people are working on this massive game, and how much is invested into this IP. They are not over-delivering, just improving there bread and butter and releasing when the installed user bases of 360 and PS3 are peaking...
Everyone wins...
Seriously. Thanks to the FS E3 deals I'm getting this for $40. Unreal value at that price.

GTA Online is 16 player games in a persistent macro-world, similar to say Test Drive Unlimited or Burnout Paradise. THere are hundreds of thousands of people online but you are in a contained world of 16 players. I'm sure you can also choose only to play with friends as well.
The worlds are persistent, so I imagine that property ownership will be like an apartment complex with infinite rooms inside, and you choose the room to visit based on who is in the game... But it's not like ou actually own a physical property in the world that somebody else can't also own simultaneous to you. Maybe -- but I doubt it.
None beyond the tracks we've heard in the trailers and some rumors. Theyr'e tight lipped on radio, the CVG guys specifically said they can't mention any specifics about the radio. The only thing we do know is when you pick up a friend, your friend can change the radio station to whatever they want and you can fight over it.

lol...finally someone who's just as confused as me. I love the diversity in the gameplay, and of course how good it looks. But multiplayer still doesn't make much sense to me, and the little that does, doesn't seem particularly compelling to do in a online setting. Perhaps some of it will be really fun co-oping together with some of my real friends I already know. BUt just logging on and challenging others or building rep and stuff...hmmm I'm not sure that's doing it for me. I mean, the main game should give you over 100+hrs of gameplay, online seems to be for the enthusiast who really really love the franchise.

Thank you!!! Maybe that was in the interviews but online makes a lot more sense now...And with only people in my friends list apart of my experience that is much more appealing to me who prefers SP and couch-gaming.
tks again for the clarification...
Nada. I can't wait to discover that stuff, though. The songs, the commercials, the DJ's. GTA radio is awesome.
SA was backwards compatible though.

So will this be the best selling console game of the generation.
I think it's going to blow GTA IV away.

Three great characters to play as during the packed campaign and our own fully customizable 4th character to play as in the online world, with it's own story, all of the amazing activities of the single player experience, various multiplayer modes and even a content creator. Like I said before, what they have done here is just on another level. It's mind boggling what all they have put into this game.
