Awesome OT, yo!

Like many I am giddy with joy that we are one week away from what I hope is the best GTA to date.

They have ticked pretty much every check box on my most wanted features list with the return of planes, customizable vehicles, and properties.

Add in the obvious lessons learned from RDR and Max Payne, well... This might just be one hell of a ride.

Please understand if its been stated several times over already, but I'd be all for being part of a PS3 crew. I'm not Boss material, but I'm loyal.

 

[Ballistik]

All ps3's do that =p

ever tried doing this?

Tried everything from simply cleaning it to swapping the thermal paste. It was sad, I went to redbox to rent TLOU to test it before buying the game, the damn console shut itself off before it even reached the main menu.

Yes take it apart (its easy) you can buy the shell case for the Slim HDD on ebay for less than $3.


You will not have to reformat it.

Thanks!! Will go this route, and thank you guys for the quick answers.

The 2 years since the first trailer have gone by quickly.

Yeah, it's crazy to think that it's almost been 2 years since that trailer. I remember at the time there was a small bit of speculation that the game might come out the following spring, though that didn't make a whole of sense since Max Payne 3 was due at that time already, and it just felt like too quick a turnaround from debut trailer to release for R*. It seemed a release by Spring 2013 was a safe bet, and I suppose that's what they were initially targeting when they started the marketing push with that trailer. I don't think I ever could have predicted we'd end up waiting this long for GTA V, but good thing that wait has almost come to an end.

 

[D-Stubbs]

I'll recommend watching Collateral as well. Say what you will about Cruise, but he was great in it.

I just watched this last night just to get me ready for GTA V. The movie kicks ass and gives so many good shots of L.A. Yeah I second Collateral if someone wants to watch a movie to get them hyped for GTA V.

 

[Pennybags]

Now here we have a 'Let's Watch' thread idea. Can we plan to all watch Heat together on the eve of GTA V's release? Who's in? We could even sync the start time.

Hell, we could do a different heist/criminal movie for every day of the week until release.

Heat, Collateral, Ronin, etc.

 

[Struct09]

Hard to believe it's only one week away. Hype mode is fully engaged.

 

[DukeBobby]

He was so f'n fast on the draw in that movie!

Hmmm... all time greatest heist movies...

 

[Ghost23]

I feel like the first trailer came out last winter or something. Where has the time gone?

Let's do this. We should decide on a good time to watch it. Heat's an awesome movie.

 

[Alienous]

Lol, last winter.

It came out in 2011.

I don't know if you're joking, but I would be in. Put up a stream.

MAP SPOILER:

Here's a comparison I just did of the leaked map compared to LA. I used the scale at the bottom of the leaked map considering 1 mi. = 5280 ft. and Google Map's legend for LA. It's actually pretty big, I'll do a proper San Andreas comparison if I find an accurate scale.

 

[Dodecagon]

Stream's a good idea, I don't mind broadcasting

 

[MormaPope]

I honestly don't want to do a bunch of heist tutorial missions and I don't expect that many of them. Logically shit hits the fan somewhere down the story line. Because if these three dudes have done a few heists and have amassed a ton of money, whats the reason thematically on why they keep doing heists?

Very simple/not spoilery spoiler, its a achievement spoiler, but not a very important one at all.

Spoiler

There's a achievement for amassing 100 million dollars.

I expect the protagonists are going to fuck with or straight up fuck over someone or some group that's incredibly powerful. And Dan Houser's comment from long ago of playing as both the protagonist and antagonist make me believe that the GTA V story will be incredibly juicy.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Obviously we couldn't stream it. Copyright violations would take it down in a heartbeat.

Nah, I've done this with obscure korean movies for fun

I was going to do this starting tonight, but didn't quite get around to it. Was going to start with Collateral. I'll get to it tomorrow maybe. Jackie Brown is on TV right now, so that'll work for tonight I guess.

 

[~Kinggi~]

obscure korean movies are da best.

I couldn't imagine it being anything other than them owing the wrong people. Perhaps robbing the wrong bank. If Rockstar manage a twist other than that, I'll be impressed.

And I'm convinced the finale has to happen in the Mile High Club. So I'm guessing you mess with a tycoon of sorts.

 

[antitrop]

My download of Episodes From Liberty City is almost done!

And the Vice City theme is fuckin' rad.

Yeah I ordered a slim case it took a good month for it to arrive but I actually used my hdd without one until then it was just kinda hard to pull out

Could we do this? Still haven't see Heat. Collateral and Ronin are awesome. The Town is a good movie too

---
And off-topic, talking Korean movies, I Saw The Devil, The Yellow Sea, and The Man From Nowehere are all so good

 

[antitrop]

Post your all-time favorite GTA soundtrack! Go!

Vice City!

Okay... that was easy mode... GTA 3 second place then.

 

[DukeBobby]

Vice City, too.

Hmmm, never heard of the Yellow Sea. Added to the queue. The other movies you included are great so this should be good.

Vice City, it's not even close.

 

[GodParticle]

Any guesses on how bad the framerate is gonna be?

 

[TheAbsolution]

Vice City! SA is a close second.

I'm thinking of Mexican cartels, terrorist groups, corrupt CIA officials, oversea crime syndicates. People with a lot more resources and a much longer reach than typical gangs or law enforcement.

I'm expecting better performance than what I got in San Andreas when I played it on PS2 at launch.

The PS2 version of that game has horrendous draw distance, tons of fog, and a wild frame rate.

 

[Gaz_RB]

Man Official Trailer 2 is soooo good. Almost as good as Franklin's!

I really hope the three stay friends through it all. I don't want any betrayal or antagonism between any of them. But that's not how heist stories work....

 

[MormaPope]

Post your all-time favorite GTA soundtrack! Go!

Vice City!

San Andreas or GTA IV.

I love Vice City's, but I've gotten more situational feels with the above.

 

[antitrop]

That was a fail.

It would probably be way more interesting to post your SECOND favorite soundtrack if #1 is VC.

San Andreas or GTA IV.

I love Vice City's, but I've gotten more situational feels with the above.

If we go by situational feels, GTA III is mine.


HEAD RADIO

 

[~Kinggi~]

Vice City! SA is a close second.

Vice City really is the best.

 

[dreamfall]

Vice City here too.

Laura Branigan - "Self Control" oh oh oh

YES

 

[Hidden One]

I cannot believe not a single piece of leaked footage...I just want to see walking around the city ,_,

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

I'd say GTA3 is second, with San Andreas a close third. To round it out 4th would be Vice City Stories, 5th Liberty City Stories, and a distant 6th would be GTA4.

 

[More_Badass]

Includes a love letter to LA:

Training Day
End of Watch
Drive

+3

Finally saw Training Day a few weeks ago, by far my favorite Denzel movie now

End of Watch is such a good cop movie, great chemistry between Gyllenhaal and Pena

Drive, not for everyone, but I loved it. And given the GTA V line of sight sytem, we can finally recreate the opening chase

 

[~Kinggi~]

It is kinda nuts when you think about it.

Someone should make a poll...or can the OP edit in a poll in this thread? Is this the main GTA 5 thread? If so.... we should have a guess the metacritic score poll. 100-96... 95-90 and so on.


I'm going 94!

San Andreas followed by 3.

Ready for some slack. But I have to admit. I have never seen Heat.

Those first 10 seconds are all I need to recall GTA III back in 2001.

I don't think there will ever be a GTA III revelation or moment ever again in gaming.

97.

But a better game than GTA IV.
