Co-op Heists! Nonono... Co-op BLIMP Heist!
It could be amazing.
I want blimp races from downtown out to the wilderness. And the finish line is the peak of Mt. Chiliad so everyone has to bail out of their blimp in mid air and try to parachute down to hit the top.
Or have mountain bike races down the mountains. God damn, free roam will have so many possibilities.
Such as?
The PlayStation,
I buy basically everything on 360, so that as of now. Though with a game this big and the PS3 version being the one they're showing, I dunno. Might make an exception for V and go PS3 if the 360 version has issues.
Yeah, that's how I'm looking at things, myself.

Give me dual pistols, some free-aim and I'll be right at home.
for me, gtaIV was just a next gen GTA3. a lot to do, but not a lot to do!
but this is definitely gta:SA for this gen. man oh man i honestly cannot wait

This is certainly sounding like the best GTA so far.
I'm not going to buy into the hype like the last time though, fuck that.

Ps3. Been using a dual shock with gta for about 10 years, lol it feels natural to me. Obviously pc when it releases too
Well, the thing that's really strange for me is that the most previews are saying that GTAV looks better than GTAIV, while IGN says that at this moment, GTAV looks unimpressive. How come there's such a big difference. Even weirder is that CVG in their video preview, states that GTAV looks 'leaps better than GTAV'. What is the cause of this difference? Also, I don't remember from which website it was, but I also read somewhere that GTAV looks better than GTAIV, but it doesn't look like the GTAV from the trailers yet. Rockstar reps however, said that the trailers were definitely constructed from video footage taken from the PS3/X360 build. So the question is: what is the truth? Was the build that the previewers got to see an older build, and the footage taken from the trailers taken from the latest, or a newer build of the game?
I, for one, would really like to know this. I'm really curious.
IGN preview:
Edge preview:
Polygon preview:
Destructiod preview:
I read some better conflicting information regarding the visuals yesterday but I couldn't find it today to quote :/

Why would you be proud of a game's score? Do you work for r*?
No, but as a gamer what a game scores is a pretty big deal. It's kind of like earning the highest GPA out of all your class mates..a bragging rights thing. I don't know.
Don't get me wrong, I don't care that much what games score. As long as I like it, I could care less if it's a 100, or a 31. That said, I know tons of friends who will base there purchase on certain games purely on what it scores on Metacritic...
Also, I mean Ocarina of Time is the highest rated game of all time as well, sitting at 99. So it'd be nice to see something at least rival that score after nearly 15 years.
Hey. I was proud of dark souls reviews but I don't work for from software
Some are taken in motion within the game and some aren't?
You know. Like during a high speed chase which causes motion blur while some are taken during a much slower pace.
Represent.

It all sounds pretty much perfect. I just hope theres a next gen version, I'll wait.

For the same reason sports fans are proud of their team's championships, I suppose. People like to be associated with a winner.

As of now, my plan is to wait but there is a good chance that I cave by the time the game comes out.
PS3, then PC.

PS4 with share button replays to Social Club is a goddamned MUST! Do it R*. Do it Sony.

Nothing you just described is "conflicting". It is possible for GTAV to look better than GTAIV and, to IGN, look unimpressive.
I will hold out for PC. The game will probably look amazing on a decent PC so it's worth the wait.

Sony please trade in "agent" (lol) for a ps4 version!!
The reason I suspect their showing the PS3 build is psychological. PS3 versions of GTA:IV and RDR were lacking certain things. resolution,certain missing elements
Max Payne 3 was pretty close on both systems with EG giving the final nod to the 360 version over a few small issues.
So to stop PS3 owners being worried that R* are hiding that version they do press previews with it. Very canny. Everyone feels their buying a good version and R* get less grief.
You are right, in the sense that those opinions are certainly true. But when website X says GTAV looks 'leaps better than GTAIV', and website Y says that GTAV does not look impressive, those opinions certainly ARE conflicting. Would you not agree?

No. It's been a long generation.

I'm really anticipating GTAV to be like GTA:SA of last generation. GTA:SA had great graphics if you were thinking of draw distance, lack of load times between regions, and the "macro" view. But, close up... especially in doors... the game looked very dated. It launched along side some other games, God of War, Black, and many others, that had really pushed that generation's graphics, but were developed in such a way to maximize the player's view... Controlling your viewing angles so that they could achieve that. I'd imagine GTAV will be the same: some of the most beautiful vistas you've ever seen, but not as visually refined in close up scenarios as other games. I'm expecting a tuned up GTAIV.

They're opinions, mind. Some people think GTA IV looks shite, some think it looks great.

Very likely to be this also. Don't know if I can hold out for months until the PC release.

This and one thing I did hear on a couple vids was talk of a better draw in distance. As this was a major complaint of GTA4 to some reviewers, perhaps those guys see the better draw in and are decidedly excited about it, regardless of popping of textures.
I will be playing on the 360. The hours of MP fun with tons of pals on that system will not be denied. Motorcross races for the WIN!
Yes please, this x1000. The one frustrating thing about all these open world games, such a linear structure to missions. Go to this place, do this thing, follow the line and arrow on your map. This is not an idea of fun for me.

I spent a few months playing nothing but Cops and Robbers. Good times.

Which online GTA4 community is the best? Ballad, biker, or vanilla GTA4?
Or RDR?

Wait. The previews are from the PS3 version? I really hope this is true, anyone can confirm this?
I always bought every Rockstar game for 360 because all of them are inferior on PS3 (except for Max Payne 3).
I want GTA V for my PS3 but it better be good!
