I hope it's more like IV. Imagine the realism that'll be achieved.

 

[Resilient]

Epic Moments more like RDR.
Music more like VC
Everything else more like San Andreas.
Nothing like 4.

Atmosphere atmosphere ATMOSPHERE! NEEDS to be like VC so I can relive the best years of my life and shed massive amounts of manly tears while I slowly touch myself. Please please please.

 

[matrix-cat]

I hope they fix the controls. Rockstar always has this air of "we're gonna do it our way, screw everyone else", and it led to GTA IV having a woefully shitty control scheme. There's no shame in just copying the standard Left trigger, Right Trigger, Cover button idea that every other game uses because that's what works. All of Rockstar's lofty ideas about analogue free-aim to lock-on, or Resident Evil walking speeds that look great in trailers but don't work at all in gameplay actively made the game worse; GTA IV would have been much better if they'd just patched in another game's controls.

 

[HollovVpo1nt]

I want to be hyped for this game, but GTA IV won't let me

 

[Boogybro]

Too lazy to search for the thread, something about lesbian parents.

Ok I gotcha. That thread was mass suicide.

 

[StuBurns]

For this to be on the next generation of consoles it would have to be late 2013. How far in advance was the GTA IV announcement trailer? I'm guessing late 2012.

GTA4's first trailer was March '07, for a holiday 07 release, then it was delay till the next year.

 

[codhand]

My Oscar is ready.

 

[jump_button]

I really dont get the hype over GTA

 

[Tashi]

I liked GTAIV, didn't play it much but damn I'm curious to see this next one.

 

[glaurung]

I really dont get the hype over GTA

You sure you got the right internet forum open dude?

 

[jambo]

I really hope the PC release is along side or at least close to the console release.

Also

GET

HYPE!

 

[DaBuddaDa]

I don't want Vegas. It's a flat, sprawling desert with hundreds of square miles of suburban wasteland and a dense but small downtown area. That wouldn't translate to a very fun open world to explore.

 

[hiryu]

IV and it's DLC was one of my favorite games of this gen. Very excited for this, I hope they go further down the IV route. A sympathetic character would be a good start.

 

[Micerider]

Vegas plz.

And I'd like to go from being left for dead to owning a chain of casinos.

plus a drug dealing metagame.

The only issue with Vegas is that it's a driving boredom fest (all flat and no turns), which would (for me) clearly impact the traffic gameplay, unless they decide to greatly deviate from the source of inspiration.

Edit : beaten to it for 1 minut by DabuddaDa

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Hrmmm.......... for some reason I get a Latino vibe. Mexico/Texas?

 

[JonCha]

Oh shit a curveball, but a goodie

 

[jgminto]

This is awesome. Hopefully with how awesome Saints Row the Third is turning out R* ups their game whether they take the silly approach like San Andreas or a more serious approach like RDR. I'm up for both.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

That font on 'Five' doesn't look like it's from the 80s, which means it doesn't look related to Vice City, which means I'm not interested. Meh.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

I want Vice City HD.

 

[StoppedInTracks]

What if it's not even announced for Wii U, huh?

 

[Dead Man]

GTA:SA says you are wrong, as long as they take some license with it. That said, I don't want Vegas either. I want a new city.

 

[StuBurns]

What if it's not even announced for Wii U, huh?

Nothing? This could be out before the WiiU.

True. But the possibilities of having places like Area 51, the Hoover Dam and an Airforce base nearby gives the game a lot of potential story arcs..

I'd love to try and infiltrate Area 51 wearing a scientist uniform.. 10 star wanted level...

 

[nel e nel]

Hmm the font on the 5 looks interesting...

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

I thought Liberty City again would be boring again in IV. Turned out it was the best game environment ever made, and still is to this day.

So it can be Vice City, San Andreas, or wherever else. I don't really care. Rockstar have my complete faith.

 

[Jb]

So hyped about this Now that they have the engine hopefully they've spent the past years creating a more varied and dynamic campaign than 4 was.

 

[Berksy]

Maybe you play as a bank robber.

 

[Boogybro]

No chance in hell it is.

 

[Gacha-pin]

Hrmmm.......... for some reason I get a Latino vibe. Mexico/Texas?

second that.

I don't know why but I want to have a east europe GTA.

 

[M.D]

Nov.2nd is also Sony's earnings call! OH SHIT EXCLUSIVE ANNOUNCEMENT INCOMING! j/k

I really hope Rockstar gets this right.
GTA IV "realistic" thing just didn't work... It wasn't GTA

Saints Row: The Third looks so much fun, more than any GTA title ever

 

[DaBuddaDa]

GTA:SA says you are wrong, as long as they take some license with it.

Do you understand the differences between the cities of Los Angeles and Las Vegas? Look at some maps.

 

[strafer]

Get Dice to do the sound design.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

They should make a zombie version like Undead Nightmare. Whole city of zombies would be sick.

 

[nel e nel]

Trailer outside of events is pretty cool, though. But I guess rockstar can afford it.

I've heard that Rockstar is pretty notorious for NOT doing all the big trade shows.

 

[Dead Man]

Do you understand the differences between the cities of Los Angeles and Las Vegas? Look at some maps.

Did you play SA? Did you notice the giant city out in the desert that is modelled off Vegas? Las Venturas? It had all sorts of cool shit around it.

 

[reminder]

Do you understand the differences between the cities of Los Angeles and Las Vegas? Look at some maps.

GTA SA had Los Santos (Los Angeles), San Fierro (San Francisco) ans Las Venturas (Las Vegas).

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

IGN review 11/10 confirmed.

 

[Jarmel]

Can they please not do Vegas? I really wish they would do something radically different like Prohibition.

 

[Shalashaska]

I'm glad they're not waiting for the next generation. It allows them to focus on the more important aspects such as gameplay, story and getting the most out of the current systems rather than focusing a lot of their time on creating a brand new engine.

 

[Orcastar]

Well that came out of nowhere. Can't wait to see where Rockstar takes the series next.

 

[Micerider]

GTA:SA says you are wrong, as long as they take some license with it. That said, I don't want Vegas either. I want a new city.

Well GTA : SA did only a few parts in "Vegas", they had tons of things going in the Countryside and "LA" to vary a bit.

Which makes me wish for ONE thing in GTA V :

Pllleaassee give us some countryside back (not much mind-you, just to have a bit of wild and a potential "break" from the city for some missions to bring in some variety).

I'm sure they can do it, their engine has proven to be marvellous for wild environment in RDR.

 

[Kentpaul]

I love GTA IV, Played it more than any game this gen.. The online free mode is just crazy stuff.

I was going to buy saints row 3 but i'l just wait for this trailer now.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

They should make a zombie version like Undead Nightmare. Whole city of zombies would be sick.

I love you.

 

[offshore]

Get Dice to do the sound design.

Only as long as Michael Hunter carries on doing the theme music.

San Andreas' theme music, even now, is still so fucking good.

 

[Flipyap]

You sound like a nice guy who totally knows what he's raging about.

 

[XREV3NGE]

omg can't wait for the realese !!

 

[nel e nel]

Do you understand the differences between the cities of Los Angeles and Las Vegas? Look at some maps.

Actually:

The game is set in the fictional state of San Andreas, which is based on Nevada, California, and Arizona, comprising three metropolitan cities: Los Santos, based on Los Angeles, San Fierro, based on San Francisco and Las Venturas, based on Las Vegas, with deserts, rivers, forests and a mountain separating the cities.

 

[DaBuddaDa]

GTA SA had Los Santos (Los Angeles), San Fierro (San Francisco) ans Las Venturas (Las Vegas).

Yes, it was 1/3 (if even) of the world, not the entire world. There are only so many liberties to be taken with something so desolate and bland before it loses its original character in the first place.

 

[Deleted member 81567]

I'm still sticking with an entirely different country.

Yeah, city only would be a set back to me, I loved the countryside stuff. It's the biggest thing missing from SR for me.
