-Multiplayer is in again. There are a couple of new game modes, co-op story, and 32-player game modes for consoles and 64 player for PC. PC also includes dedicated servers.
That first extremely obvious sign of bullshit right there. Rockstar doesn't care about PC that much.

Yeap, too good to be true but oh so welcome it would be. OH SO WELCOME.

Especially the part about the PC version. If it's better optimized than GTA4 then we already may have the best looking open world game ever on PC.

2 major cities minimum and a huge area outside them. SA massive and varied world was incredible, even just driving city to city on the highways was fun.

New rumors from 4chan. Poster claims he has connections to Rockstar. Via: http://saveandquitgaming.com/xbox-360/grand-theft-auto-v-rumors-abound/. Take it with salt etc. etc.

Apparently, there are spoilers in this next batch (I didn't look at em', so I can't be sure), so I've just blacked out the whole thing:

:lol @ these. oooook. Will be hyped if true but it looks much too "fanlisty" especially the 32 player console stuff. I'm pretty sure 16 in GTAIV was a miracle.

Will also be pissed if that spoiler if true :mad:

Might be an 80s based Liberty City setting for a "Wall Street" kind of game, without recycling the same old map we've had for three years.

And on the sixth day the LORD David Bowie created man and woman in His image. And he saw that it was good. On the seventh day the LORD created videogames so that He might take the bloody day off for once.
Sounds a little too good to be true. Eh, not about to get myself hyped up over pie-in-the-sky rumors.

What was written would be sweet though.

if the map is unchanged...screw that.
Well you did see a new city name in the rumor right? And more of the current parts.

Oh and potentially stellar graphics. Especially on PC.

Just give me a city with stuff to DO! Fuck. IV felt so damn empty. :(
That's probably my biggest wish.

Don't really care how much square-mileage the new city covers, I just hope there's a lot more side activities for me to engage in (compared to GTA IV).
 
4chan leaked GTAV info?

lol

Most of that list sounds like stuff that wouldn't be "leaked" for this reveal on wednesday or this far away from launch, unless they are planning to show a lot. Rockstar just doesn't seem to me like a company that would have all that in one announcement.Ignoring that and viewing this as a leak unrelated to wednesday, it just reads like a fan wishlist.Also I can't remember a 4chan leak thats been really accurate in recent memory, possibly that tgs stuff?

Well, we shall know if these 'leaks' are true as soon as we press play on the trailer video. If it's 1:04 long, than 4chan was telling the truth!

Yea thats to much info...
 
Eh, I'll leave the alleged details in the back of my head for now. Don't really believe them as they read as WAY too reactionary to GTA4's faults. But crazy shit has happened, and I would sure love to visit San Andreas again. Just wish the first game could run on my horrid fucking laptop.

I just hope it's highly stylized like the PS2 sequels, and maybe even set in a past time period.

I don't think I can get on board for another IV "realistic" GTA.
 
dreamfall said:
So close to this trailer- so much effin' anticipation! I want Baltimore/D.C./Philly!
I do too but is Rockstar even capable of moving to a new location when it's probably easier just to revisit old ones for the nth time?

I know I definitey can. Saints Row has me covered in the over the top department. I want GTA and Rockstar to focus on a serious story with satire of course. RDR and GTAIV were amazing.

Capable? Sure. RDR was totally new and vastly different from their other settings.

DMA Design Ltd. will come through with the goods.

I remember when I thought that in GTAIV, Rockstar had set us up to like badass Niko and how at some point relatively early in the game he would end up getting killed trying to free Roman from all his trouble, and you would then have to instead play as the weakling Roman instead; you would have played as a weak character who ends up becoming more badass, rather than taking the usual route.
 
I'm not sure this is derailing the thread, but I was wondering why we have an obsession with graphics and presentation of a realistic enviroment in the gaming industry. Games that are in an open environment, a la sandbox, I wished had more believable AI. It could look like San Andreas for all I care if instead of just pushing a more visually realistic world, we create a more self aware one. That and 60fps!

How bricks will be shat if the trailer's one minute and four seconds long, and that it is “relatively peaceful and shows off the city.” :p

Although the PC thing is funny. 64 players? Same day release? :p

Yeah that is the dumbest thing I've ever read.

Wednesday hurry the hell up and get here.

SKIP 3 DAY YOU CAN HAVE THEM GOD.

You know, this has been bothering my for awhile. You know in that movie 'Click' with Adam Sandler? Sure it's a complete POS, err going into spoilers if anyone ACTUALLY cares
at the end, when he kinda like realises how he has ignored his all life, why doesn't he just rewind? I mean Jesus, if the thing can forward, it can damn well rewind.

Now that it's off my chest, can't wait myself. The reveal trailer for IV was really awesome, didn't they use a Philip Glass Soundtrack?
 
All I remember from that movie is Kate Beckinsale being ridiculously hot (and that slo-mo jogger).

And yeah they used Pruit Igoe from Koyaanisqatsi.

Ah ok. Yeah I really liked that reveal teaser. Hopefully this reveal on Wednesday keeps up the mood.

October 2012 although I could see them delaying to Spring again.

Production began in 2009 according to Houser, although it was probably a little sooner.

Yep, that trailer was incredible. Unfortunately the game didn't turn out as sweet as that trailer (also funny how they removed tons of features from that trailer).

Can't just anyone post any bullshit on 4chan?? I mean why should anyone believe that site to begin with? Because once upon a time there was a real leak there?

Wherever it ends up being, I really want expansive areas back. I can't count the amount of hours I spent just wandering the forests and deserts in the middle of the night looking for weird shit in SA. I want that sense of exploration and mystery back.
I really hope they go back to the lighter tone of San Andreas (as in have some goofy fun stuff like the jetpack and stuff like that) and include stuff like Bigfoot to find in the world.

Are we talking about the first GTA IV teaser? What got cut? I can't remember a single thing.
 
Rockstar, especially North, cannot do wrong in my book. Even though my expectations were unrealistically high for GTAIV, I still very much enjoyed the game and it's still easily top five of this generation for me. I loved RDR greatly too, but it really only served to make me anticipate what the guys at Rockstar North were doing next with GTA even more.

Honestly I'm not worried about the locale, the story, the cast, and just the overall world/culture of GTAV. I'd prefer if it was another timepiece like San Andreas or Vice City, as I feel that's what works the best for these games personally. While I thought GTAIV was great, I thought the nostalgic tinge of SA and VC worked out better and I hope that GTAV follows in there footsteps, but am indifferent either way.

What I really want to see is an improvement in the on-foot systems/combat. I seem to remember leading up to GTAIV's release, previews were mentioning Niko doing free running and climbing type things, sort of similar to the Assassins Creed games. I'm not sure if those mechanics were cut or scaled back, or if it was just the previewers over-hyping on things that weren't actually in the game. If they make the character control more fluidly with the ability to scale buildings like inFamous/Assassins Creed, and take cover more easily like Uncharted/Gears, while refining the aiming mechanism, then I'll be seriously excited.

Other than on foot stuff, I'd like to see some slight tweaks and improvements to the vehicle system from IV. Make helicopters easier to fly and just improve on the already great base, and I'll be happy. I'd also like to see more things to do, spend money on, side quests, et cetera to fill out the game.

Basically, if GTAV is an expanded GTAIV timepiece with a larger world and some tweaks to the core system, then I'll be very happy.

Bring on Wednesday. :D

It was smaller stuff. Little effects, what have you.

I'm trying to find a link that lists it all but can't find it.

Uh

Totally overrated if you ask me.

Different strokes.

People seem disappointed that it wasn't an over-the-top cartoon in the vein of San Andreas (or Gay Tony), but I liked the grounded, gritty take on the sandbox genre, centered by a legitimately human tale.

I loved it for all the same reasons I loved Red Dead Redemption.

A whole slew of gameplay systems that come together around a captivating core narrative and optional quests that reinforce the notion of a living, breathing world.

I think the most exciting thing about GTA V for me is that:

1) They know the current gen tech now, they've mastered it and aren't limited by lack of knowledge/know how

2) They nailed GTA IV in a huge number of aspects, the only problem (for me) of it being too serious seems like something they could fix relatively easily

3) By release time they'll have had 4 years of time since GTA IV came out, but they'll have been developing it for at least 2 years before that as a side project (with a lower number of staff as crunch time for IV came), so they've had 6 years total time, with a devkit that they know like the back of their hand, and of course never-ending amounts of money (money put into GTA = multiplied profit, everyone knows this, a GTA game will never bomb)

4) They also nailed RDR, and while it's different to GTA, there's a lot they'll have learnt from it

5) They have their own in-house RAGE studio so there should be fewer bugs this time

This excites me the most. The jump from VC to SA was amazing and according to Rockstar, that was their "test" for SA.

Apparently they didn't even have the city picked in 09.
So I'd say probably around 3 years dev time.

Source?

And no, they haven't had 3 years dev time, that's not the way things work.
