I don't think a game could possibly sound better.
Seems like a little strategy and RPG elements were implemented to spice things up a bit. This game is sounding like a god damn monster on every level.

I could do without but if it only goes up to 50% that's a reasonable compromise.
Excellent post. Rockstar always takes their time and it seems to always pay off. Some weren't confident they would step it up from GTA IV amazingly; they went beyond stepping it up w/ what we are hearing/seeing for GTA V.

Of course, I believe that's a key part of their RAGE engine.
I doubt Michael or Trevor will be terrible drivers. In the end they need to make sure that every aspect of the game is fun for all characters. But making each of them the best at something in key areas will make sure that players spend a good amount of time with all of them.
You would rather stop at hotdog stands or burger joints to get your health back? That is one thing I am glad to see go from GTA IV.
Regenerating health? Oh wow, that's disappointing. Ah well, no game is perfect.
It certainly beats getting shot then hiding behind a car for a few seconds to be at full health again. Where is the challenge in that?

I've read through lists and seen the previews but is regenerating health confirmed? I really prefer that to health packs and having to track down a vender/fast food joint.
Health management in GTA IV and past GTA's sucked ass big time.

Or first aid packs, or pills; anything that requires some player agency.
Tracking back for health using GTA IV's akward controls was annoying, but I'd be happy with no regeneration if they really improve the on-foot controls.

Please Rockstar, please have a next gen version 1080p 60fps, with AA.
You can have better health management without trivializing shooting missions with regenerating health.
Agreed.
Excellent thanks
If it gives me the same wonderful combat moments that I had from MP3 I'll be very happy indeed.TheGreyHulk

whaaat? evolved MP3 combat system??? HNNNNNNNNNNGGGG!
didn't have much of a chance to read the previews much since im at work.. i loved MP3 and it's combat system. the news keeps getting better and better for GTA5.. fuck.. i have no 360 or PS3... crap... might have to borrow my bro's 360 again
Indeed, they seem to be covering the spectrum for those of us who loved the realism, as well as for those who wanted more of the craziness back. But they are cranking it up to full blast on both accounts, with an abundance of everything you could want in a game like this. I'm just glad we have developers like Rockstar and a publisher like Take Two who actually take the time to be able to reach these kinds of heights. As we can see by the popularity and sales, the payoff is always worth it.
Sounds like they will have those, just regenerating health up to 50% will also occur. I will have to see it in action before I am with/against it.
There will be a PC version a few months after most likely.
Definitely, thank god.

Remember I said it was a good compromise, I think it sounds fine.

Yeah.. not really what I want. I have a powerful enough PC, but none of my friends play on PC. So I would like a console version. Also I thought they usually take a long time porting to PC?
I will gladly double dip and buy both versions if they have next gen.

Max Payne 3 combat in an open sand box?! HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG
RDR handled it perfectly, health regeneration is slow so you have to be extremely focused on not letting enemies flank you or get the jump on you, along with items that could be used to make your health jump back up quickly.
Hell, maybe each character will have an item that heals them. Michael has a flask full of whiskey and a swig will raise his health back up far more quickly, Michael's slow mo special also regenerates.
Franklin smokes a weed joint that raises his health at a faster rate than before and takes more accurate shots, movement is slightly slowed, and smoking a joint while driving makes his special meter go up far more quickly.
Trevor puts coke on his finger or knuckle and snorts it. Health is maxed out, and his movement/aiming speed is far better. Trevor's special meter is depleted from doing coke though.

I need this game. Just saw Rev3Games comment that the game was demoed again on the PS3, this is really giving me high hopes for the PS3 version.

So...no Burger Shot/ Cluckin' Bell confirmed? It would be useless...

Regenerating health and MP3 gunplay are a godsend. I hope they let the MP3 team design all the on-foot controls, with the very first step being to get rid of the hold-a-button-to-jog bullshit. I don't want to have to mash A for 90% of the time I spend playing the game, Rockstar.
Man, I was looking forward to GTA5 but I wasn't overly hyped, but god damn I have totally bought a ticket for the hype train, ChooChoo!
It's silly, but I would love it if they let us steal a bus and pick up people, VC let you do this and you would slowly get money for it iirc, but they never got off again. Small things like this has always made Rockstar games one of the finest so I hope they continue.
I said ot in the trailer topic, but It would be a crime if this doesn't end up on both Durango and PS4 at some point.

Are you for real??? Fucking wow. The X reticule in Max Payne 3 is for any kill, not just headshots FFS.
Joking. About my tone. Not about the reticule. =)
Yeah, this is going to be wild!
So much more accuracy, it just feels so solid in MP3. I'm beyond thrilled!
I honestly can't believe that made it out of the previous console generation. O_O
In fact... I can't believe it made it past Grand Theft Auto III.

I like this. I wouldn't mind managing health in GTA games if we could have health related items in our inventory. That way we can stack up for a mission. Hell, I'd be fine with cooldowns so we couldn't spam them too.
I hope for multiplayer Rockstar removes the soft lock playlists, multi should be (IMO of course) free aim only as it causes a split in the playerbase. I guess with GTA V though playerbase numbers wouldn't be much of a problem. Give me some MP3 style slow mo MP matches please.....why yes please.
It'd be awesome if health management was tied to items instead of food places and random pickups. I just don't want green magic packs to be the main way of saving yourself during missions.
Can GAF please let me know I'm not the only one who loved the side mission where you get a clue and a picture of a car via text and then you have to find that car, like a treasure hunt in the streets of Liberty City. I think the guy who texts you those missions in GTAIV is called Stevie.
It wasn't very difficult. But whenever the clue was a road or even an intersection (aka a freebie) I would love pulling out the paper map that came with the game and running along the roads with my finger trying to physically spot the road/intersection on paper and then comparing that with the in-game map.
