Well Kavisky had a song on Electro-Choc, in GTA IV.
It was a (imo pretty awful) remix of Testarossa Autodrive.

I expect other neo80s stuff, other than Kavinsky, from Nightride FM, though.
LazerHawk, Miami Nights 1984, Mitch Murder, College, Electric Youth and so on.
EDIT: To be fair, whatever they don't put in i will listen to with a USB stick, on 360.

He's a grand-nephew of Alice Coltrane and he's good.
I'm really curios to see how they handle the guys lives/daily routines. Most of their protagonists have been able to pretty believably be anywhere the story necessitates, at any time. That could still be the case with Trevor and Franklin, but Michael more than likely needs to go home every night.
lol 360.
GTA IV multiplayer still does pretty well on 360 actually.
About two months ago I was randomly playing the online for a solid week and it was still active.
Nah, man. Testarossa Nightdrive.
It's even got an awesome/creepy video. (Fairly NSFW)

Huh? The Housers always try to write real life characters not characters bounded by the rules of a sitcom. There is no mandatory curfew when you're an adult, especially if your working.

Did not read the whole thread, but how can GTA5 have all these improvements, more of everything compared to GTA4 and still run on current gen consoles? Is it going to run at 15fps at 640x480?
Max Payne 3 was quite good looking. Magic~
- It'll run like shit.
- IQ will be shit.
- Several improvements on the engine, during these 5 years.
GTA IV wasn't really the greatest looking game on consoles to begin with and was a struggle for R* (they've said they did not adjust well to the new systems at the beginning of this generation). I can easily see them outdoing that by a wide margin (even Red Dead two years ago was a big improvement over IV).
Now I'm certainly not expecting buttery smooth 60 FPS with high-res textures everywhere or flawless shadows and lighting or zero pop in ever, but I'm also not expecting it to be a total train wreck like some are.
MP3 wasn't as ambitous as this is.
This has been a worry for me too. There has to be something...some type of trade off to make all of this possible. Every game has some sort of smoke and mirrors, this one will too.

San Andreas length loading scene to start the game.
O....Kay?
Generally you spend your nights at home with your family, if you have one. Obviously when playing Michael the player won't have to sit at home, but I was referring to when you play someone else and the AI takes over.
Obviously things aren't all the way right with his family, but you can see in the trailers alone he has some sort of relationship with all of them. It'd be weird if he's never home.
Like you said: He always tries to write realistic characters
I wonder how many unique situations there are for when you drop into a new character. Like how media people keep mentioning Trevor waking up on the beach with dead bodies of the Lost MC surrounding him in the demo. Unless that's some mission starting cutscene or was done for show specifically for the demo.

Ah, I was too vague in my last post, sorry. I meant to show that narratively there is no reason that Michael would need to be limited by that aspect. In real life, if you need to be out, all a person does is inform their partner some time, like maybe in the morning or maybe with a phone call later explaining that something came up and they won't be home until late.
So in terms of the game, all they have to do is have a scene where Michael does this, or alternatively where he makes a throw away comment about how he's in trouble for always staying out/ the stereotypical 'my wife might start thinking I'm having an affair (lol considering the last trailer)' complaint. Then they're free to have Michael as an AI partner, involved in other events, etc.
Yeah, that's really what I mean when I question how that's handled. You can only make so much of that stuff. I assume they do each event by hand, because I can't see them to trying to come up with a way to price surely generate that stuff.
Fun fact: the cuts on Trevor's body when he wakes up on the beach are procedurally generated. Rev3 Games said that.
Ah, gotcha.
One of the coolest descriptions of the demo I heard is of when they were showing Franklin parachuting into like a valley with a river. On CVG's YouTube channel they said they could see animals running around, bike trails, a guy on a quad driving along the river, a park ranger driving up a road on the side of a mountain, and then when Franklin landed there was a couple nearby fishing and they had a winnebago. It all sounds so lively, even out in the countryside. I love it.

It seems that they're holding back on the countryside. I wonder if Trailer 3 will focus on it.

I too loved GTAIV, and it would also my pick for game of the generation. Still, that list does nothing to make me less excited for GTAV. It is full of things that either sound great, or I don't care about but won't lessen what I loved about GTAIV.
You can probably ignore it - I ignore target lock in IV.
Can't be serious, this already sounds more fleshed out then GTA 4. In fact GTA 4 should have been a gradual increase in what San Andreas did (thats an entirely different conversation for another thread)
I know everyone has opinions but come on son.
Some of those won't even really affect the game, should you not want them to. Like the special abilities. Or their stat bonuses. CVG said R* told them all three characters will be able to do anything you want them to. Yes, Trevor will be the best at piloting planes, but they aren't going to punish you should you want to fly around with Michael. Same goes for Franklin being the best driver or Michael being the best with firearms. It's meant to differentiate each character and maxing out each of their stats could be a fun diversion if the player wants, but it isn't required.
As for stuff like the underwater areas being superfluous, I guess that's not totally off base, but that sort of thing is why I love GTA so much. All the extra detail that helps flesh out the world. It pays off when I'm playing the final game, even if it may not be completely vital to the mainline experience of the story and missions.

I don't understand you xD It sounds to me like IV++, I don't think anything that was in IV wont be in V. Now you get all these cool extra tidbits and a massive new area to explore. Also not playing IV online, wth man!
Yay? Gta:sa boots up in seconds for me on pc...
I really hated all the superfluous systems in SA. It was an unfocused mess and this looks par for the course.

Oh get the fuck out of here.
If you enjoy boring, shitty ass, games than by all means continue your jerk fest over gta iv in the corner by yourself.
It sounds like a perfect mix of San Andreas and IV to me with so much more thrown in.
Just went through the vehicle list on GTAV.NET and there are so many vehicles I want including vehicles based on the Bugatti Veyron and the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG. I hope we get a huge garage to store them. Not enough space in IV.

Wow - you're quite an asshole.
I apologize, I'm really not trying to be an asshole.
But, it's people like you that ruin games. Let games be games. Let them be fun. Let them be crazy and outrageous. I'd rather have a GTA game like San Andreas that's crazy and wacky, and care free, than a game like fucking GTA IV that was a fucking, real life, simulator bore fest.
There can be both, you know? Saints Row III for the likes of you and GTA IV for me.

as disappointing as gta iv was compared to san andreas...it was still the best open world game of the gen.
This is the type of preview that makes me want to go to a midnight release party. I haven't felt that way about a game since Halo 2.

But he is a retired criminal. He was a heist mastermind, its not like he had regular hours anyway and I expect his family is probably aware so "days away" might be expected behavior.
I've been listening to Nightcall ever since Drive came out, now I'm kind of sick of it. Still better be in the game, it just fits too well.
I'm so looking forward to the soundtrack, can't believe it's been 5 years since GTA IV. That one introduced me to a bunch of amazing artists(The Boggs, Greenskeepers...) and I expect no less from V.
Not for me it wouldn't be, not by a long shot. However I'm looking forward to GTA V, Rockstar are the type to really go for it and try and outdo everyone. I certainly hope they succeed.
What? This was a hands off demo. They've barely shown anything :lol
