You would think that, after all the negative feedback that addition got, they'd ditch that to some extent (or allow you to turn the phone off).

Also, none of the three main characters seem too interested in maintaining positive relationships, so I don't think it will be something you'll have to worry about.

There are friend activities, but it's been changed a lot. Pretty sure you have to call them and initiate them.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

The heist aspect sounds amazing. I thought I was burnt out by GTA after IV. Joy I'm wrong. I'm sooo there.

 

[Raptomex]

I can't wait to check out Area 51, assuming they're keeping that a surprise. Jetpacks, anyone?

 

[shinobi602]

This is an official screenshot:

That picture always felt off to me. That's one obese shark lol, looks really disproportional.

That's the only change that system needed.

 

[UrbanRats]

This screen:

is really fucking odd.
The compression is particularly bad.

 

[Sothpaw]

As cool as this....I cannot imagine a story justifying this situation

It's GTA story man, just go with it. The story is just fluff for the open world fun.

And I read the article about how cash will actually matter. Not convinced until I actually play the game. Money has never mattered in a GTA game and I am only going to take previews with a grain of salt.

I really hope the sharks look like the pics. Great whites are truly terrifying.

 

[Painkiller Q8]

This game will be the best ending for this generation.

 

[triplestation]

i cant wait for the eventual videos of players somehow getting a shark out of the water with a glitch and it's swimming around town mid air attacking people lmao

Trevor be crazy, yo.

 

[vatstep]

I'm lukewarm on next gen consoles as it is, but I honestly feel like the number of current games I own (and haven't yet played) plus this could keep me busy for a long, long time. For me, coming at the end of the generation is actually ideal. It just sounds bigger and better than ever.

 

[matthieuC]

The ecosystem they are creating sounds damn glorious. I am most excited about the random events that happen; I think that is what really creates a world. Organic happenings are what I've always longed for in video games.

The paparazzi thing sounded amazing. I hope there are more things like that.

I need a cheat to spawn bears, that is all.

r* has been dodging the hell out of pc

 

[Buckethead]

So basically all they need to announce is the ability to buy and sell drugs and give strippers $20s and we're good.

P.S. That Kotaku/Totillo article is horribad.

 

[Graphics Horse]

I had a feeling different characters would mean different stats and abilities, good to see that confirmed. (Actually I had Trevor down for drug induced slowmo but he's the only one who can't slow down time apparently)

 

[Loudninja]

So I guess every gang from SA is returning?

 

[reKon]

holy fuck, there's going to be Max Payne 3 style gun play in this? yesssssss

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Joystiq's EIC asked who it was composing the music and they said it was "someone worth announcing at a later date". I bet they'll drop OST details in August.

Oooh, I'm intrigued. I wonder if it's someone/people they've worked with before or a new composer/group.

 

[Why would you do that?]

Run and gun gameplay if you choose?
Vast, populated underwater world and forests?
ORIGINAL MUSIC OUTSIDE OF THE CAR?

I really don't know what to say...

I need a moment.

As cool as this....I cannot imagine a story justifying this situation

It's a video game, that's justification enough.

 

[NoSkillz187]

I agree. It was way too much talking and felt uninspired imo. And that IGN/Mortiarty article was crap also. He got the names and skills mixed up. Called Franklin the gun expert and Michael the car expert. Sure it's small in the gran scheme of things but you would think "professionals" would get this stuff right.

I thought Game Informers was the best.

 

[PrimaNocta]

Looks great. Can't wait to take a few days off and run thru this game.

 

[KyleN]

If the gunplay is like max Payne 3 and if there is planes in Multiplayer.. Then this game could be, not only the best sinlge player game ever, but also one of the best mp games ever. Atleast for me.

 

[Raptomex]

If we had similar drug side missions like Chinatown Wars or Vice City Stories that would be golden.

 

[Loudninja]

holy fuck, there's going to be Max Payne 3 style gun play in this? yesssssss

Yep that's awesome,hell 2 characters have bullet time like special moves.

 

[sappyday]

GTA IV cost 100 million to make. GTA V, I can only imagine.

Well this time they didn't hire any celebrities for voice casting. I don't know how much of a difference that would of made but they mentioned it.

 

[Raptomex]

Well this time they didn't hire any celebrities for voice casting. I don't know how much of a difference that would of made but they mentioned it.

They didn't hire celebrities for IV either. At least they didn't want to. To make it seem more realistic. And Ned Luke (voice of Michael) I've seen before on SVU. I'm sure he's acted in other things.

 

[ironcreed]

Yeah, the sharks look absolutely terrifying. Not much gets to me in games, but the great unknown of the ocean and things that look like this big fella does the trick. Can't wait, lol.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Well this time they didn't hire any celebrities for voice casting. I don't know how much of a difference that would of made but they mentioned it.

That money just went into hiring a known composer to make an original score.

 

[dreamfall]

I really, really hope this is the case. Maybe Trevor selling hard drugs in the countryside, and Franklin brokering bigger drug deals with other gangs!

 

[Loudninja]

So they said you can hunt animals,so I assume it will work something like Red Dead Redemption?

 

[Raptomex]

I really, really hope this is the case. Maybe Trevor selling hard drugs in the countryside, and Franklin brokering bigger drug deals with other gangs!

I want more side missions that can attract cops and I want them to be unlimited. Like after completing level 10 of the mission it doesn't just disappear, you can still be able to do it. That disappointed me in IV.

 

[The Lamp]

Cheats this gen have been non-existent.

Which is bullshit and I'd like GTAV to bring it back with flair.

 

[Buckethead]

I hope that the countryside is no-mans land in the sense that there are never cops around.

Also please fix the red circle system. Was playing IV yesterday and it took me like 5 minutes to get away from the fuzz after jacking one car thanks to the magic police that are apparently everywhere.

Fucking annoying.

 

[IceCold]

I'm getting a hard on while reading this. The game sounds amazing.

I closed the IGN link as soon as i read "Colin Moriarty".

 

[Squire]

That's the only change that system needed.

Not only that, but they each have their own set of friends in addition to being able to hang out each other. Makes it more believable and apparently this adds to the plot.

This has shot to the top of my most wanted list. I figured it'd come out and be a good open-world game that doesn't really reinvent the wheel, but they're doing so much more than I expected.

 

[Seance]

As cool as this....I cannot imagine a story justifying this situation

Hijacking valuable cargo.

 

[Ryuhza]

I want an ability similar to the lasso in Red Dead Redemption, something to let me bind people and move them around. And stash them in my car.

 

[Muffdraul]

As cool as this....I cannot imagine a story justifying this situation

It's a heist where you have to use a Mac Power Book to upload a virus into an alien mothership. Then fly in there and steal their money.

 

[ChimpBottle]

That money just went into hiring a known composer to make an original score.

Aren't they getting Michael Hunter again? I guess he's known as the guy who does the GTA scores (or at least the one usually awesome original piece that each game opens with) but I don't think he would cost that much that they couldn't get celebrities.

 

[AstroZombie]

in your dreams maybe

r* has been dodging the hell out of pc

I think every single numbered GTA game has been released on PC, what makes you think that this one won't?

 

[Raptomex]

If they insist on including hidden packages like every game then please no birds. I don't want to have to discharge my weapon and risk police attention. UNLESS it's assassinations. Now that would be cool. Locating all the targets throughout the world.

 

[dreamfall]

I want this too- fully psychopathic tendencies engaged! Hopefully Trevor will fulfill that need!

 

[triplestation]

i wanted it out on PC too

but when i read about r* being asked about the possibilities of GTAV on PC, r* replied with something like they wanna keep their focus on consoles

maybe they wanna focus on just consoles for now but there is't the slightest hint as far as i know about an eventual PC release

Red Dead Redemption still isn't on PC

 

[bomma_man]

Sounds so fucking good. Especially if they genuinely have fixed the combat.

 

[sunnz]

I really wish my 3rd best GTA game, Vice city stories, was on PC.

( SA,IV,VCS)


I wonder if the management in V will be similar to how we see it in VCS, as in you can upgrade bushinesses to more larger buildings and such.

That's R*'s MO, expect a PC version 6 to 8 months after it hits consoles.

RDR wasn't on PC, but MP3 was and it was a pretty decent port.

RDR is a technical nightmare (or mifical, depending on your perspective). GTA V will come to PC. People need to chill. This isn't a new thing by any stretch if the imagination.
