GTA4 on PC is still game of the gen IMO.

 

[Neuromancer]

Oh man I hope this one is good and a return to form for them.

And it was even better.

We're in for something great. WHERE ARE MAH LEAKS AND DETAILS?!

Ugh, why the hell they announce a trailer? Just release it. I saw GTA V trending on twitter and got all excited for nothing.

...it's R* They have already announced trailers that tease features they won't talk about for months for the past games. They are the best/worst hype machine in gaming. Remember them hyping dynamic hand animations in San Andreas? Remember hyping critical, game changing story choices for GTA 4? I can only guess what non-existant element of GTA5 they will hype this time.

 

[Reave]

GTA V trailer announcement on the day that Battlefield 3 releases? COLD BLOODED, Rockstar!

The only thing that could top this is Half-Life 3 getting announced on the same day Modern Warfare 3 comes out. C'mon, Mr. Freeman.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Oh and they need to work on their rewards and customization. Killing 200 pigeons was stupid for the reward they gave, and they didn't do much on incremental rewards for every 10 or even 20. In the others at least you got weapons, armor, cars, and health added to your hideout to collect for free.

This needs to happen in GTA5. The pigeons in GTA4 were the biggest waste of time ever. Bring back weapons and other stuff at your safehouse or whatever.

I guess the GTA4 equivilent was building up friendships and using your friends abilities, but only a couple of them were worthwhile.

 

[GQman2121]

Animals in a GTA game? You want to hunt cats and dogs?

Hell yeah. All that wildness in SA and nothing to do. Throw some deers, bears, cougar's out there and let me shoot them up. Dogs and cats in the environment would be cool too actually. They could add fishing to give you something to do on the water.

Basically, I want to yell "gimme them duckets" at a hawk while I snipe it from the roof of my monster truck, which is full of other dead carcasses. That sounds like a good time to me.

 

[Famassu]

R* really needs to up their game if they want me to get interested in GTA again. Funny how Vice City is one of my favorite games of last generation and GTAIV completely destroyed my interest in the series. At the moment, Saints Row 3 will probably be enough of the kind of open-world playground gaming that GTA used to fill for me.

 

[BFIB]

And yeah, as for location, Las Venturas or perhaps even Vice City would be appropriate with that title...

A new game set in Vice City would be awesome.

 

[The Elite]

Seriously. Saints Row 3 looks to fill every need of the "GTA doesn't have enough dildo weapons!" crowd. Why not enjoy it?

There are a lot of people who agree (not everyone of course) that GTA IV lost a bit of the "fun-factor" of the previous games. No one is saying they should bring "dildo weapons" back (they were in San Andreas) but I expect a lot of changes.

Someone suggested that GTA should be looking to Red Dead for inspiration, I agree with that too.

I'd love to see them add to the old 'base' or stonghold elements. You should be able to build and customize your own place. Get some weapons and vehicles there and have to fight off attacks.

 

[Mpl90]

The MCV article is SO strange... it's not something you would expect to see on their site.
The hell happened to mr. Raffit? :lol

 

[Ploid 3.0]

After almost 3 years, I just unlocked the Platinum trophy for IV like two weeks ago. I loved that game to death, but the single player had huge issues........

Branching paths for the story is something IV needed more of. I should be able to tell people (like everyone in the entire third act of IV) to piss off if I don't want to work with/for them.

Also, animals. I want to hunt or be hunted. It was too much fun in RDR. More of that.

For this fix they just need to bring back gangs that hate you, and are actively searching for you. Heck they could have hitmen hired to take you out. You had to provoke people to shoot at you in GTAIV unless you were in a active mission.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Gonna get this out of the way nice and early.

It needs to be considerably better than GTA IV for me to even bother.

You say that like you expect people to give a shit, like you being impressed is a reassuring barometer of quality.

Don't play it then, I don't think R* will be crying into thier cereal.

I, for one, am utterly hyped. Love me some R* open-world shenanigans. They are the best in the business at this shit.

 

[Majmun]

Amsterdam with a Moroccan Protagonist.

 

[Tokubetsu]

I get what people are saying about the "fun" but they went too far with it back when it was still in. San Andreas is my least favorite GTA for a reason. I didn't even bother to finish it (I got to the Las Vegas styled city).

Yeah, and you had to maintain their friendship iirc. I thought it was kinda cool at first, but the phone is so slow, and I don't remember how the timers worked to use them again. Don't piss off the friend or they aren't helping until you make it up to them. I think you can activate sleep mode but you can't advance in the game unless it's off, so when you need to use them in missions you have to take sleep mode off.

 

[Dead Man]

Territories from SA, and building up the businesses like in VC stories. Awesome.

I'd also like the garage feature from Saint's Row. Sure it's unrealistic but GTA4 was terrible about saving cars. There were few enough decent cars as it was and if you were to try and use one of those cars on a mission the game would erase that car if the mission requires you to use a different car.

Maintaining them was a pain in the ass. Little Jacob was the only one I bothered to stay friends with, because his service was indespensable for me. And most of your buddies weren't that interesting. Fucking Dwayne Forge.

So in that interview, Sam Houser was imitating Steeve Jobs. Is this a hint?

True that.

The five is the same font as a British 5 Pound Note...

No matter what the game turns out to be, trailers will be amazing.

Please Rockstar:
-Don't hold out on the guns.
-No more dating/hang out BS.
-Fix the running animation, so the MC doesn't look like a spaz.
-bring back auto shops.

i wish it was in london, but i seriously doubt it. weren't there a bunch of leaked "fake" sites registered by rockstar in the past year that were california-located businesses? i'm guessing it'll be san andreas area.

I'm thinking California: Silicon Valley (the Steeve Jobs impression), and Hollywood.

Hollywood, probably

 

[Father_Brain]

Come on Sony, do your best and make Rockstar do a Vita version! How ridiculous would it be to play this on the go and to transre(a)r your save files^^ Please let it happen! *Also Vita will sell like hotcakes if this happens, no need for Monster Hunter

Wow.

Also, not expecting a Wii U announcement, even if a version is in development - I suspect that Nintendo isn't allowing third parties to announce anything until they re-unveil the system.

I mean recent ones.

Don't know what to think about the setting. I hope it's SA with all the excess (read: 1/3 of the map) trimmed out. And a blend of GTA IVs physics, detail and realism with GTA:SA's "fun" options, since now they got the serious out the way.

 

[KennyLinder]

I am pretty sure it is a joke... But it's unusual for MCV to have such odd articles.

I'm oddly excited for this despite GTA 4 being the biggest disappointment of the generation and not being fun at all.

Super hyped, I loved GTAIV

WTF is this?

 

[The Lamonster]

Hollywood, probably

But if IV was in Liberty City and this one is in the state of San Andreas, then we're completely skipping over Vice City

Honestly though, I will be happy if it is a bit more colorful and goofy like the previous generation of GTA games. IV had very little personality.

Me too. It's the font, I think.

Looks like real life. Especially the last 2 pics. My god.

Exactly why I don't like it. Doesn't look like GTA to me.

 

[Loxley]

Snarky comment about how random aspect of GTAIV was actually really shitty.

Am I doing it right?

 

[djtiesto]

If they were to do multiple cities, the DC/Baltimore/Philly corridor would be a great fit.

Been saying this for years that these cities would be a great fit for the game, you can do either the Wire type stuff, or go into a whole political conspiracy route. Not that I really care about the series, especially after 4. Still a bit interested to see what the music will be like, that's one area GTA never really disappoints in.

 

[The Albatross]

The time is nearing for me to write an epic post about what Rockstar needs to do to get GTA back on the right path. Small ideas and large. Not because any will be implemented, but because I want to feel self righteous.

 

[Anilusion]

The "Five" on the logo looks like the "Five" on this

 

[EatChildren]

Maybe this is all a joke and Rockstar will announce Bully 2 instead.

I would kill for a game set in a Baltimore style city. DC and Philly would be rad too.

Unfortunetly devs love to visit the same cities ad nauseum instead.
