Regen health -10000. Put difficulty levels: For example, Baby difficulty gets regen health, noraml and over gets a health system.
Any videos featuring gameplay?

SR4 is fucked, and I personally think they needed another year.
Everything will be eaten alive this fall. Got damn the NPD will be interesting.

It only regenerates up to 50% of your health, or something like that. In an open world game, I think having it can be forgiven, because it cuts down on frustration from trying to find a food place or a stray health kit lying around. But I would like it if they don't have that annoying red screen of death like in Red Dead. That shit pisses me off, and it's in almost every game these days.

You mean after the game is released?

Bullshit.
Halo 3 Legendary & COD4 Veteran difficulty showed how balls to the wall difficult games can be while still having health regen.
I HATED the health meter in previous GTA games. Get hit & start backtracking, searching every inch to find any remaining health packs halfway through a mission.
I'm GLAD this archaic method of play is dead & buried!

The main reason they're hard is because of the level design. Because you can regenerate health, the devs can throw more bullshit at you, making it impossible to avoid getting hit, and having to soak up the damage then hide and wait for the jelly on the screen to fade away.
lol, but true.
I feel that to an extent. I wasn't a big fan of having to find a hotdog stand to get health back, which made it more difficult in the middle of a fight/shootout and the damn guy giving out the hotdog is killed.

I know all this news has my head spinning like a whirling dervish.
Call of what?
Next gen who?
I see people having a soft spot for Watch Dogs, plu Ubi can muscle a good deal of marketing.
In general though i see a lot of games getting slaughtered this Fall, simply because there is too much stuff.
In the span of like 4 months:
Saint's Row 4
GTA V
Watch Dogs
Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag
Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes
Call of Duty Ghosts
Battlefield 4
Killzone ShadowFall
Batman Arkham Origins
the new Avalanche open world game on Mad Max.
bolded ones being open world games.
Plus whatever Nintendo has in mind, PLUS the launch of TWO new major consoles.
erm, someone is going to be disappointed here, i doubt it'll be Activision or R*, though.

I remember Rockstar releasing gameplay videos for GTA 3, Vice City, San Andreas before they released. Even RDR, LA Noire, and Max Payne 3 had gameplay video series.
So weird they're only secretive about GTA V and GTA IV before it.
After Vice City, did anyone ever even use prostitutes? All that controversy for something that was completely replaced. Maybe it's because I was older, but I'm gonna go for the food because it heals me quicker in SA and 4. Hookers, I gotta pull over and honk and they have to actually BE a hooker then I gotta wait some more. It was usually quicker in 3 to just whip by the hospital
Splinter Cell is in August as well. Infamous Second Son is also rumored to be launch so that's another open world game. The Bureau is also probably going to get killed by this.
Bring on the open world games though. I'll buy them all.

Hookers recharged your health? I had even forgotten that.
I must've gone with hookers like 4 times in GTA IV, in like 100 hours of play time.

Was it gameplay from the player's perspective or gameplay in cinematic fashion? RDR and MP3 are not GTA. I don't remember ever seeing a non-cinematic video for any of the Houser GTA games before release.
Also, this regenerating health, is this all speculation or confirmed?
Fist bump.
Wow. Just woke up and after reading a few paragraphs from the OP I'm already a little shocked at some of this.
As for health regen, bring it on. I really hated having to manage my health out in the world. Especially if I'm just fooling around in a cop chase or something and then "uh oh, need to scour the sidewalks for a hot dog vendors I I can get out and buy a hot dog for health". Health regen makes way more sense to me.

Definitely gameplay perspective. I remember coming home from high school when Vice City was yet to be released and eagerly anticipating the next videos. I specifically remember seeing Tommy Vercetti getting into the Comet and showing the driving mechanics.
Confirmed by Edge and Game Informer.

Oh, I guess that's alright. I expect the combat to me more challenging then.
"Oops, fell off a slightly too high slope, need to detour to find a hot dog vendor!".
Fuck.That.

God yes. Vice City sound track in general was as masterpiece.

I don't remember this at all Can you find videos of the gameplay that was shown?
LOL, Bioshock Infinite barely kept my focus. GTA is a WHOLE world in comparison.

"Oops, fell off a 5 foot concrete barrier, ugh, my health is so low, let me cross the street, OH GOD A CAR TAPPED ME WHAT ARE YOU DOING EUPHORIA PHYSICS STOP STUMBLING OH GOD MY CONTROLLER'S RUMBLING THE CAR'S STILL DAMAGING ME I'M DEAD"
Thanks GTAIV.

Only thing for me what prevents the hypetrain from bursting through the sound barrier is...
Cross gen????
Cross gen????
Totally. "Oh no, I accidentally ran into the vendor and he's running away. No more health regen here!" It could be pretty annoying at times and really felt outdated in IV.
Anyways, this all sounds way more ambitious than even I thought it was be. All of the RPG stats, the breadth of radom events, the big list of characters you can recruit, buying properties, car customization, deeper character customization. Didn't expect any of this. Crazy.

Ehh it'd be impossible to find the exact videos now lol.

Meh. Sounds like there's a fuckton of micro management. Don't like the sound of that
Ground Zeroes is out this year?

Yea, i still haven't finished Infinite... just can't get into it.
Ground Zeroes this year, Phantom Pain next year, is what i understood.

Only thing I can remember is for SA on the official R* site there was like a small 5 second clip of CJ walking with the camera perspective behind his back, but it didn't show the HUD.

Hmm? That was never stated...
This is why there was a delay; none of this was talked about in the GI cover story months ago.

If there's one thing GTAIV was desperately missing, it was management of any kind. There was so little to do that game. I truly hope the heist panning + economy + gameplay character switching + character/weapon customization + activities are as intricate as these previews would have you believe. Sure roaming the world is cool, but I still want to be kept busy in meaningful ways.
Yeah, that could be it.
I love it man. Sounds like a much larger than experience than I've been thinking of while waiting for this game. R* is really going all out. I need to read these previews individuall, I've only just scanned the OP and I'm already excited by a lot of this info.
