HUD, camera angle, people actually playing the game... There are differences between an in-engine/game video and a gameplay video/shot.

Broke skin too, brah.
Also, looks like I have to add IGN to the list of places NOT to visit until after the game releases. I've allowed myself to watch all official videos (gameplay and trailers) that Rockstar has released, I've seen all the official images released, and I've listened to a few tracks on Youtube that are appearing in-game. After that mountain climbing jif, I think I'm done. Full media blackout now.

So it's in-engine footage as we can see in every trailer, but not true gameplay. This is gameplay :
Yeah..I know.

As far as I remember, the only console versions with custom soundtracks were the old XBox ports (and I'm not sure if that counts for San Andreas). "Independence FM" was missing on both console versions of GTA IV, so I don't think it's that far fetched to assume the same will happen to the console versions of V. I personally don't mind, I got an Astro Mixamp. Hooking up my Spotify playlist isn't as good as actually having those songs as part of a radio station, but it's better than nothing.
Do you think people didn't actually play the game in order to capture footage for the other trailers? Like I already said, there are plenty of shots that might as well be part of a "gameplay" video...if they had a HUD.
If the world's as big as they say, I guess it's very possible! :3
I'm really excited. We all know screenshots hardly do games justice until viewed on the platform. In motion it'll look great, check them GIFs.
I believe a similar statement was made about the PS2 San andreas.

Yeah but that's like saying a trailer is a gameplay video. A gameplay video is .. wait, are you even serious?

Why would I make it fullscreen? Not like the game will run in 1080p.
Btw this is how GTA4 looks on consoles
Not anywhere close to what we're seeing here... and shouldn't be.
Edit : beaten dammit.

I don't know and you don't know that.
But still, the HUD is not here and the camera angle is different. There are huge differences.

GTA IV looks great still.
Obviously PC looks better but if it looks moderately better with more work put into secondary characters, I'll be completely happy.
More interested in them fixing the broken ass mechanics than visual fidelity.

They're obviously grooming us to prepare for a full fledged GTA MMO next gen with how GTA Online looks. I just hope it's a separate project because I think (hope) that the Housers still think they can't do what they want to do with these games and their stories unless it's a single player game.
I wouldn't get too excited though. When San Andreas came out I was wondering how they could top it next gen. Would we get an entire country this time??? No we got a single, smaller city with a lot less features.
edit: That piss filter on 4 looks awful now. Didn't really bother me back then but seeing how colorful 5 is really puts it to shame.

It really doesn't. Looks like someone came in and smeared vaseline all over your screen displaying clay figures.

Other people have already said it, but it's not the same, dude. Gameplay meaning how it will look when we actually play it.
Ballad removed most of that though.
I remember being quite impressed with its IQ (being an open world game on console, of course), probably because i was coming from GTA4.

I don't want to live in a world where I'm not playing GTAV this very moment.
oh wow wow
oh wow wow
God i hope those animations aren't exclusive for that video, especially the "jumping on the car" one.

Do you think the basejump in the recent "Ego Chaser" trailer will look any different? Do people really need a HUD to be convinced what's gameplay and what's not?
base shagohod

The camera angle, too. I'm not going to argue with you.. You just have some weird different definition than I do.
Yeah those are really ugly. Guess I've forgotten just how bad the IQ really was in GTA IV. Games like these look better in motion though. When you're driving around 100 mph you're not exactly going to be staring at a lamp post to notice it's jaggy or whatever lol.

FUCK! I forgot I was on a media blackout! Oh god what am I doing here I don't even . . .
Let's hope we can use all that stuff.
Ninja stars, that would be so epic ( and ACTUALLY could work very well, i mean Red dead redemption had throwing knifes for stealth play, V could have these ninja stars, just a simple texture change a little change of animation and BOOM, it could work)

That fitness video was the hotness.
What the weird glow thing or the paint-y effect?
Yep, I need the camera way back and I have to keep correcting the angle so I can see forward more when I play. Hopefully the driving camera angle options are better in GTA V so I don't have to do that.
While it might be in engine gameplay and whatever, I think what I and what most people here want is someone sitting down playing the game. Not quick cuts like the trailers have been.
"We're heterosexual virgins" had me cracking up.

All 360 games support custom soundtracks by default due to how the OS is designed.
PS3 games support it on a game-by-game basis, but that generally means that the game can do a lot more with it (like changing up the EQ in Wipeout).
The real question is, will they have custom soundtrack support on PS3?

I know that, but that's not the same as having actual ingame custom soundtrack support.

TBH, that was my biggest annoyance with GTA IV's driving. I hated having to constantly adjust the camera or leave my thumb on the right stick to keep it in place. From the videos that have come out (mainly the online one) it looks a bit better I think.
It's not about that sort of custom soundtracks, it's about in game support, a "Independence FM" type station has previous GTAs had on the PC and XBox with its own DJ. There's really no excuse not to have it this time around.
Wait, I've got to quote this again.
Ha ha holy shit, the black guy's named Quota.
I fucking love Rockstar.

While the 360 to shoot is nice, at times I think the old system was easier.

Someone brought up in the GTA forums that the shots of Liberty City seem to be upgraded in graphics, I can see better lighting and draw distance too. Could it be...?
That's from an ingame commercial for Ammunation though... The city gets destroyed by aliens in the next frame.
There's a good change that Liberty City ends up as the first expansion for GTA:Online because they can reuse most of it, but maybe clean it up a bit. But I dunno if this is evidence of that.
I am off the same days; saved PTO days for this game; not ashamed at all.
