I wonder what type of stat tracking will be in this game. I hope the game displays at least the same level of statistics as in IV. I love looking over that stuff and seeing precisely how much of my life I have wasted on a single piece of software!
It'll be at least near-final. Certainly past the stage where major sacrifices are made to improve performance. And look at it this way, if the performance was good with non-final code, surely final code will be even better?

I'm sure I read that you will get more proficient in firearms the more you use them, I don't think it is as granular as per weapon basis though.

So many cynics here.
It is neogaf though...
Doesn't mean it's always a good thing

We have a high res map outline from the achievement listing....do you want that too?
Here. The best imo. Updated yesterday. The blueprint-like map is full of errors and not updated since several weeks. And the topic on gtaforums is not updated.

That and trailer analysis plus summaries of articles. They also do extensive databases of the various things in the trailers. Their modding forums are good too. they may have a terrible community overall, but there are a few gems in there.
Thanks.

Wouldn't be right without all these fake pictures people put up.
Achievement Spoiler:
There are spaceship and nuclear part collectables from the leaked achievements list IIRC

That Atomic Blimp pre-order bonus content, how sure can I be it will actually be included? Because the website I want to order from doesn't mention it.

I was going to wait for a PC/PS4 release, but I was kidding myself.
I need this so bad.

Code was probably 95-100% complete and that little percent will be on minor tweaks and such. I've played many debug titles 1 month before release and they rarely differ from the final version.
I've only noticed differences from code which is 2 months or older and since the game went gold I expect IGN are playing the final build but just not retailed.
GTA VI will be as big as the world, so that's to be expected.
ALL pre-order's get it. Don't worry. No-one who pre-ordered doesn't get it.

It's not an actual pre-order bonus, it's "make sure to pre-order or you could miss out on" bonus in it's likely packed in with every first run copy of the game.
That's what I thought as well but when you watch some footage where it shows the scale then it's really big.
This is a fan estimation, we don't actually know what the map looks like.

Liberty City in IV was fucking huge. I still don't know my way around much of it, especially on the third island which I didn't spend as much time on. Given the scale of the overall world, I don't think Los Santos needs to be as big as Liberty City. You won't be in it half as much and what we've already seen of it is already about the size of two Liberty City islands put together.
Based on the description's of the maps size from those who are working on it and those who have played it, I would say this map has underestimated the size of the city by quite a bit.
Or at least, so I'd hope, because if it's accurate I'll definitely feel a sense of let down after all the hype around the maps size.

The 'city' portion of the map is legit. By comparing the airport runways, Los Santos is about the same size as Liberty City.

Over 70 hours playing IV and I can safely say I know my way around. I can't wait to be introduced to another new city and spend so much time in it. One of my favorite things about Rockstar's open world games.
The comparisons made show it as a biiit larger than GTAIV's land mass compressed together.
Quote from a magazine interview on GTA V with Aaron Garbut - the GTA V art director:
"I made a conscious decision upfront that the city should be no smaller than Liberty City so effectively I shoved all the Liberty islands together and that became the scale for the city."

Los Santos is at a absolute bare minimum the same size of LC in terms of landmass but from multiple scaling methods that have been done it's the size of Liberty City including the water between islands or up to 20% larger than Liberty City.
You can't compare runways because their sizes have been inconsistent throughout the series, hell GTA:SA alone had runways of different sizes.
