[BloodMoney]

Gonna double dip on the PS4 version once I've wrapped up FarCry 4 on the PC. Hopefully any launch day glitches/issues are ironed out by then.

 

[papercan55]

6 more days until.....

and about 12 years until he starts playing pokemon

 

[shandy706]

I am more confused as to how I got all excited for GTA III when I was 10, certainly not social media.

I was in college when GTA III came out .

6 more days...just 6 more days.

 

[SMOK3Y]

How do kids that young have such an attachment to GTA? It's not like they were around for the PS2 era right?

Probably like my kid she got the PS1, PS2 & PS3 hand me downs whenever the next PS launched lol 😂

 

[stargateheaven]

wasn't there an extra surprise for PS4 players? what was that?

 

[VE3TRO]

Is GTA Online getting all the DLC packs from the past year? I've skipped the past 2-3 months on GTA Online but I noticed some of the new packs are pretty awesome with new masks and gear but I'll be gutted if I cant get them.

 

[DarkKyo]

Ugh, it hurts that I have to wait for the PC version of this. Looks amazing. I have a PS4 but PC will likely be the best version due to modding.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Game of the year.

Yes, you get everything.

Hopefully it will be better than the extra surprise Unity gave.........

Yup. You get everything.

 

[Portugeezer]

This game is making me all giddy inside, like the feeling San Andreas gave me.

Heard Ryan Mcaffrey on IGN say the framerate wasn't a locked 30fps, which is a shame, but I hope the dips aren't too frequent.

 

[Darryl M R]

Does anyone know if the PS4 can preload the game right now? I'm not sure how or when I will be able to

 

[Acquiescence]

Will give the finger to Online mode and first-person perspective, will bask in the glory of seeing everything else improved and better.

 

[dreamlock]

Speaking of modding I don't believe they've confirmed yet that there will be official mod tools. I also wonder how it'll work with GTA Online. Here's hoping they allow unranked servers for modded games or something. Just playing this in 1st person and 60fps is going to be insanely good looking.

High hopes for this one on PC, mainly due to mod potential.

Hopefully R* will not do everything in their power to stop that. :\

They have featured mods for IV on the newswire in the past - I think they are cool with mods.

 

[flyinpiranha]

This is pretty smart of them:

we need your continued help, and, maybe, just a little patience if there are any teething problems around the launch on the new systems. We have, of course, tested the game extensively but there is no way our several hundred testers can be quite as comprehensive as millions of players! Please bear with us should any issues arise - we will be working hard to fix any problems that arise, and generally ensure this launch is as smooth as possible.

A preemptive strike and warning that this is probably one of the 'larger' launches and may have issues.

I like it. As much as I hate having troubled launches, just the acceptance and acknowledgement instead of silence and nothing is a step in the right direction.

Yeah they saw what mods have done with Skyrim. How popular it is after 3 years.

No way they will intentionally block mods.

I think that mods are what sells GTA on PC now anyways.
Aside from the obvious graphical and framerate improvements

[VE3TRO]

Beautiful.

 

[Yaphett Kotto]

IIRC, Target has a deal where you can bring in your old gen GTA V copy and get $30 off of the Xbone/PS4 edition.

US only though

Definitely doing this on Tuesday. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[Hip Hop]

Get the console version, then sell it once the PC version is out. GTA holds its value pretty well. That's what I'm doing.

 

[CyanideFuse]

I am so envious of those of you getting the game next week. The end of January seems a long way away (plus I am worried about the PC version and how well it will run).

 

[| Praxis |]

Little Timmy knows what's up

That kid is probably the gaf member that asked in another Gta thread if prostitutes will be available in first person.

 

[Nyteshade517]

Well there's going to be a Day 1 patch for "some last tweaks and optimization fixes" so hopefully any really big issues with framerate are ironed out with that (if that patch has anything to do with that of course)

 

[Master Yoshi]

Is this going to crash the Xbox Live servers too?

 

[ktroopa]

someone dig up that N64 kid gif, coz thats how pumped i am +1 !!

/my body is ready

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

That kid is probably the gaf member that asked in another Gta thread if prostitutes will be available in first person.

Will they be?

 

[shandy706]

I've not had any problems with Xbox Live.

Are you just referring to some people's experiences in MCC?


Thankfully I'll be pushing through the single player for the first time before I go anywhere near the online portion. Should give them time to smooth things out.

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

Luckily, Gamefly sent a "Restart your membership for $1" email yesterday, so I will be able to create an online save with the last-gen version to get content on the current-gen version. Which is good, because the content looks significant.

 

[Nyteshade517]

[DrkSage]

Even though it probably won't happen I kinda want Rockstar to release something like this.
Would be too hilarious.

"we heard Paris wasn't as lovely as they told you it would be. welcome back again to Los Santos!"

 

[TommyTosser]

I'm assuming your comment is related to the fact that the parents are giving their child a copy of GTAV, and not related to the fact that the child is all excited and crying?
If it's the second, then not cool I never cried but I remember being way too excited (though not in front of my family or brother) when arriving home with certain games and waiting for the console and TV to start so I could play!

I mean the fact that

"Here son, have this game you're obviously not of age for and that is full of violence etc and a great torture scene!"

When i was at the midnight launch for GTAV there were kids in their school uniform with their parents getting the game for them. I honestly couldn't believe what i was seeing.

Crying over a game though? Get a grip no matter how old.

 

[GlamFM]

No, it would be fucking stupid. This is why they don´t do it.

 

[E-Cat]

What's most disturbing about this .gif is that he is clearly substituting GTA V for the parental nurture he never got from his mommy and daddy.

 

[Derpyduck]

Word of warning to anyone that bought in-game cash, it won't make the transfer from 360 to PS4 or from PS3 to Xbox One. It only transfers between console families. Again, that only pertains to purchased cash.

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

That kid is probably the gaf member that asked in another Gta thread if prostitutes will be available in first person.

Ha! True such concern for that feature

 

[Dick Justice]

So the character creator won't be a pile of dogshit? Good to know. Now let us modify our character's physical appearance whenever we want.

 

[| Praxis |]

Will they be?

You wanna be that guy?

Spoiler

I hope so

 

[nrvalleytime]

How do kids that young have such an attachment to GTA? It's not like they were around for the PS2 era right?

Don't think it has anything to do with an attachment to GTA.

It's cultural popularity + demand + inability to delay gratification + idolatry = well, whatever the heck that kid is doing.

Makes me shake my head.

 

[Xamdou]

Did they ever add bank heist in the game? Seems to me like its the most wanted add on to the game since launch.

 

[Number45]

Skipped the PS3 version for this (thanks, unnamed friend who loaned my one of his copies (!) for the bonus goodies). Will I be able to jump straight in on first person mode or does it need to be unlocked?

 

[Scoot2005]

I won't need to buy any more games after this for a LOOONNNNGGGG time lol.

Edit - Going in fresh also. HNNNNGGGGGG.

 

[Logash]

I literally only did the main missions when I owned this on PS3. I heard that there were tons of side missions with cutscenes and regular mission quality. Is this true? If so how much content did I really miss and is it worth buying it on PS4?

 

[BigDug13]

I was in college when GTA III came out .

6 more days...just 6 more days.

I was halfway through my Navy career by then... Do I win?

 

[Auctopus]

Would be irrelevant seeing as everyone's over Watch_Dogs now.

 

[PerezDeCorcho]

Really happy to see a new character creator.
