Grand Theft Auto Online: Official Gameplay Video, launches October 1st

Many years will be spent with this game- much like every GTA iteration.

The hype just to hear bits and pieces of the soundtrack... I can't wait to be blown away!
 
Who do I have to blow to play this game right now? I need this game in me right now.

That video reeks of pie in the sky bullshit. This is way too ambitious for it to actually work.

Nothing is really too ambitious if you've got the money, talent and time to make it. GTA5 has had the longest development schedule of any GTA game and probably by far the largest budget.
 
I really, really hope the Kavinsky thing turns out to be true.

The music section of the site says "stay tuned for details on the in-game radio stations and official soundtrack of Grand Theft Auto V" so hopefully we'll get a little something soon.

"Stay tuned" by Rockstar standards usual meant a 6 month wait. Now its like...Damn this game is really coming out a month from today.
 
Looks really cool. Hoping that 6 has hundreds of players in one world though, all out gang wars!

Edit: I do kind of agree that the presentation seemed to be embelleshing a lot of things. When they say stuff like "or just ride around in your car to get noticed", or "you can just hang out in a room and chill with your buddies"' you know they're pulling some stuff from their arse.

lol, pretty much. Usually wouldn't hold my breath for anything from R*, but we're basically a month away at this point so it may actually be soon.

If you ever played San Andreas multiplayer...That's what a lot of people do, chill and/or start gangwars, lol. Was probably the most overwhelming but cool thing I've done with an online community. Now GTA online is not as in-depth as SA Multi, but I wouldn't say they're pulling it out of their ass because I can see a lot of people just chilling out, shooting the shit while everyone else causes mayhem.

So what are the odds GTA 5 gets rated slightly lower scores as a way to make up for the fact that GTA 4 was hailed as a pinnacle of human achievement?

No chance. This game is clocking 97's, 4.5's, 5's and 10's across the board.

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.

GTA online takes place before or after the events of GTA 5?

And Kavinsky is supposed to host an electronic channel named NightRide FM.

If Kavinsky has his own channel in the game, this will have the best soundtrack ever. EVER I TELL YOU.
 
Welp..in seven years of online gaming it looks like I'm going to have to break down and finally get a headset for this game, any ideas? (must be compatable w/ ps4)
 
I know they talk about money being a huge aspect to the game... but in every screenshot/video theyve shown, their player has like 250k+ all the time.

Hopefully its a bit harder than it appears to get that kind of cash
 
i dont know if anyone addressed this, but if you're playing tennis, how likely is it someone is going to come over and start gunning you down or bombing you with an F-22?

I think I heard in one of CVG's vids that if you become engaged into an activity like that, you can't just be harrassed by jets/explosions/etc.
 
I'm not even into this franchise, but GTA Online seems like something I could spend a LOT of time in.

GTAV might be the one to finally get me to really jump into the GTA world.

I would assume some apartments or homes could possibly be in the millions, that way your cash would mean something.

I more wonder if they can just crash into your window in the apartment, lol.

Well they've also sf shown flyers of planes costing 1.5 mil...so as long as its relative I'm cool with it

Cvg confirmed there are some activities that are isolated like tennis and golf. You can't be interrupted when doing those. Also there is a pcificst mode where you vcant harm or be harmed
 
We don't let anyone steal your personal vehicle. If we were in a personal vehicle, and I jumped out as the owner, you could take it. But if it's locked, it's locked. You could blow it up, if you're that way (inclined), but anything that's going to annoy other players, we will punish by giving you what we call a Bad Sport stat. We store how you behave in there. If you're too bad, you will be punished.

This right here is really dumb. Punishing players for destroying cars that don't belong to them in a Grand Theft Auto game? What if someone shoots me, then hops in his car? I can't retaliate or I'm a bad sport? Lame.

San Andreas multiplayer is weird to me. I messed around with it and it feels weird to have such a huge landmass with a couple hundred people and no NPC's or traffic. This game preserves the immersion of being in a city while playing multiplayer which I didn't experience with SAMP.

I don't know that I agree with "not as in-depth". It definitely supports more players almost like a mini-MMO, but by removing all NPC's, it didnt feel like San Andreas.

I hope they bring the vibe back .
 
Ye of little faith.
They're basically making a free MMO inside a persistent world with the complexity of GTA V. Something that companies throwing millions upon millions at their games have been unable to do with far less impressive graphics even. Hell, look at the whole Final Fantasy XIV debacle and that was nowhere near as ambitious as this. Also, Star Wars The Old Republic.

And if you want something a bit closer to this, look at the spectacular failure of APB.
 
It looks amazing but I still don't get it. 16 people per server? Persistant world?

Does the game world just act as a lobby of sorts for activities you can do with your friends?

How are random pick up groups going to work exactly? Who decides what to do? Does anyone? Is it just chaos?
 
Did Max Payne crews have a maximum player count?

I seem to recall the Gaf crew having 2 versions, but that might have just been a mix-up
