Standards were much lower at the beginning of the gen than they are now.
Plus, it seems like they fixed everything that was wrong with IV.

I'm curious about the driving gameplay, especially with Franklin. Hopefully the slo-mo special could be something great ala Sleeping Dogs.
Ah, true. They could just be window dressing.

The fact that San Andreas is such an obvious template for this game is a great sign. It means R* have to aim fucking high to meet the expectations.
I wouldn't be surprised if they ripped it straight off SD.

Every 3D GTA has come out on PC 6-8 months after initial release. Spring 2014 should be a lock.
Well you could only slow mo in SD when you aimed your gun to shoot so it wasn't for driving but for shooting, here it's for driving and the car will probably be a lot more manoeuvrable to allow quick turns and such.
I wont be using it and just wish the driving physics in V are still as in depth and more realism than arcade like in IV, that is literally my current number 1 wish.
My HD is ready.

Regenerating health + original soundtrack + Max Payne 3 gunplay + light RPG elements = THANK YOU ROCKSTAR

I'm excited, but I will not buy until the confirmation of a next-gen/PC release. The version sold at launch will not be whole game it could & should be, and I will stand by that to the bank.
Unless they announce drug trading. Then they'll get my damn money.

So a game cannot be a full game... if the graphics are not good?

I didn't even finish reading the previews and I'll give the game a 10/10. I'd wait in line for 12 hours tonight if I could get just a demo of the game with 4 streets.

Right now I would pay $100 just to watch the demo.

they don't need to confirm a PC release. it's coming. all the GTA games in the 3d era have released about 5-7 months after the release on consoles. the PC version should be out in the spring of 2014 based on this. and this was true for gta3, vc, sa, iv... it will be the same for gtav....
there's a lot of money to be had on the pc and take 2 knows this... they're not stupid.

I'd name my first child "Rockstar Games" to have a chance to watch you watch that demo.
How can anyone say that about a year with Dynasty Warriors: Kamen Rider? God damn savages.

They are greedy. They could easily release the PC version simultaneously, they don't because they want people to double dip... buy the console version, and then buy the better performing & looking PC version later. It's a pretty dick move in my opinion... but, it effective. I know i will be purchasing the console version Day1.

Added some, and god damn yes, THIS GAME.
Sounds too good to be true. But after Red Dead and Max Payne 3 they've redeemed themselves in my eyes from the should've-been-better GTA4.
Yep. Would have been nice if MP3 used it more instead of cutscene, cutscene, cutscene, shoot a guy, cutscene

There's tons of GTA fans on PC. Do they not deserve that same focus?

Oh god, i just became 30 and gaming slowly started to lose some of it's magic for me.
But this game, with all it's glory promises, brings back the very greatest memories of my life as a gamer. The feeling of anticipation is only topped by me putting my first cassette in my C64 or the bullshots of Rise of the robots i saw in the sega magazine many many many years ago in the kitchen of my grandma.
So please, would some kind gentleman lead me the way to my seat on the hype train? I want to sit down now.

'I'll wait in a steam sale' is the reply they would give. How much percentage of PC sales is day 1 these days?

No idea, though I would expect they are less substantial than console considering they release their PC versions a year later when hype and interest has died down. I am sure their PC sales would be far more significant if they had simultaneous launches...
No idea, but there is no doubt in my mind that releasing the PC version many months later than the console version has strongly encouraged piracy (that and GFWL with GTA IV).
Plus another thing is that most hype has died down by the time a PC version gets released, which won't be helping sales for that version.

yea, especially among people who purchased a console copy.
Just because a subset of people say that doesn't mean day 1 sales aren't happening. I can't speak to GTA4 since I wasn't on Steam then, but IIRC Max Payne 3 did very well on PC despite the short delay.
Aside from that though, Hitman, XCOM, and Far Cry 3 all did really well on Steam. Assassins Creed 3, which launched over a month after the console version didn't seem to do too well. I'm sure if it had launched simultaneously, it would have garnered alot more initial sales.

Hmmmmmmmm, why would there be a cell phone calendar in the game?
Holiday/seasonal/monthly/weekly events????
Holiday/seasonal/monthly/weekly events????
IMO I think it had more to do with the game being unoptimized and broken as well as requiring quite the machine to run it.
Days of the week were in GTA IV, and they may play a crucial role with heists.
I hope Naoto will go with me to Golden Week

Oh yeah, on the cell phone, right? But maybe an actual calendar points to them using a scheduling system in a more sophisticated manner. Hopefully? Maybe? No? Okay
Previews still rolling in.
"It’s easy to quickly lay out the bullet points establishing why Grand Theft Auto V might reaffirm—if it was even forgotten—its status as the defining, pre-eminent videogame franchise in the world. Even amid once-every-ten-year console releases this five-year-in-the-making game release will assuredly draw as much coverage across the globe as those sexy new platforms. I can say that because I’ve seen it in action, and it took just 25 minutes of gameplay and a handful of questions—plus having reviewed this franchise since GTA 2—to realize that while the surface details might sound familiar, the GTA V game world is so full of opportunity for adventure there’s a good chance you may never leave."
Known, but just to restate:
- Three main characters to play, not one
- 3.5 times the size of Red Dead Redemption’s land mass, and five times the size if you include the underwater areas. - Over ten different environment types.
- More vehicles than ever before.
- More radio stations than ever before
- “The ultimate open world game,” according to spokesman, Simon Ramsey.

Any guesses how many 360 discs this will be?
There's a reason Saint's Row 4 is coming out a month early.
That said, man it's going to make their expansion pack turned 'sequel' look all the worse. I REALLY think SR4 is going to permanently damage the brand. I could see Sleeping Dogs taking 'second best' title from SR in that department, but I'd have to see Sleeping Dogs 2 under a publisher that could turn it into something. And the way games are now, that pretty much leaves ... 2K, publishers of GTA.
A month early, Deep Silver putting out, from what I have seen, a half ass sequel to SR3 will also feel the wrath of GTA V.
