I think he's talking about to your playable character and limb damage.
It'd be cool but somewhat tedious always having to go to hospital to get yourself patched up.

I was meaning sectional damage to the player. It would add to the severity of the crashes and on foot chases. If you're in a crash that sends your car rolling down a hill in the boonies, then crawl out limping your going to be like oh shit! Also since there are animals in the game if rockstar doesn't POLICE CANINES they fucked up big time. seriously it would be so cool to have your car broken in the city or forest, and then hear sirens and barking. Dang. Maybe they could implent a "bandage" option like left 4 dead. takes like 5-10 seconds to fix wound, and you would have to make it to some kind of cover

It's a cool idea but I think it would get kind of annoying after a while.

Looks pretty awesome.
It'd be neat, but it doesn't belong in GTA. Rockstar made GTA V like Red Dead in the death department, when you die a checkpoint is reloaded. If a player is running away from police and royally fucks themselves, why would they go through the trouble of escaping when they can just get caught or killed and reload a checkpoint?
Not to mention minor car accidents would have to effect the player character also. That being said, in GTA V taking a bicycle off a mountain and purposefully busting your shit is going to be the first thing I do, them body physics are going to be delicious.

The missions better showcase/use all of these badass systems better than IV did with its own. About zero missions in GTAIV actually made decent use of the game's physics.

I read somewhere that car customization was going to be on the scale of Midnight Club: LA. If true = epic.
TBH everything we've heard about this game sounds too good to be true. I hope the trade offs won't be too much.

Rockstar ragdoll is way good. having mountains to roll down to your death from a bmx or motorcross wreck is going to look cool.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned this, but jet fighters have ejection systems, so that probably means in GTA V when you eject from certain planes you're going to get launched out realistically and sometimes ejection isn't going to work out smoothly.
Dead bodies do stay around, no matter how many people are killed. If you leave the area the bodies will disappear.

I was thinking the same thing. But most my friends with be playing on 360. The multiplayer will be godly.
Have the people who have seen the game in action commented how much the controlling is similiar to MP3. This has always been the weakpoint in GTA games and if they straight up use the same code or engine or whatever for the shooting we got game of the year. From teh previews i have read they allude to the ugrade to MP3 like shooting but i hope it really is the same. No more lock on snap stuff. Just right stick controlling reticle accuracy.

A nice trailer analysis. Something I didn't notice was Franklin's trailers shows a lot of green apparel. Either this is significant or just a wink wink by R*

It was the same for vehicles as well....although the radius seems alot larger. Most of the time I can go 2 or 3 blocks away from my car and it will still be there
One thing I found frustrating about IV (and all 5the previous GTAs), the traffic AI seemed to be programmed to drive to be in a collision course with the player. After a while you start to predict where a vehicle is going to be when turning corners etc
On foot, you can turn in one direction and the street is empty for blocks....turn the other direction and then back again and all of a suddenly theres traffic everywhere
Hopefully, they improve the traffic AI/realism for GTAV. In saying that, I dont think these issues impacted on the Liberty city experience at all....it was bloody amazing.
But even if you parked your full customized fancy car in the garage, it is occasionally stolen by some kind of great power in the GTA world.

I don't think I'll be able to resist. I don't want to spoil this game before it comes out.
When it comes to realism there's a fine line between what is more immersive and fun, and what is just downright fucking annoying.
The physics in GTA4 made me want to punch the disc. I failed that stupid motorbike run up the ramp like a billion times because I kept bumping into rocks on the beach that put me off course.
Cool cool, good to know. Time to drown people.
Yes this and pop ins really took me out of the immersion! Sometimes I saw I car I wanted, but it disappeared lol. Probably a RAM issue.
Hopefully it's not shameful baiting.
It's not something unheard of, when it comes to these magazines.
The game is not done. Framerate is something you wait until final release to talk about.
I remember the Famitsu teasing quite a few times that got everyone thinking it was Persona 5 or Versus or something haha, but it never happens.
Yep it does....
Although I used it to my advantage at times, as you can force the popin of a taxi (as I used them all the time to quickly teleport all around the map)
I'm gonna guess the framerate wasn't so bad to distract them from the overdose of info their brain was getting.
Were gonna have to wait until release, but yes framerate is one of the reasons I wish for a PS4 version.
Yes I remember doing the same thing!
Grove street is in the game. It's not really a secret.
If there is one thing I'm skeptical about it's the character shifting mechanic. Just imagining the thought of being the programmer in charge of coding it sends shivers down my spine.
I mean let's say I'm playing as Trevor driving a speedboat in the middle of the ocean and I somehow I managed to lose or blow it up. If I switch back to the other two guys, is Trevor's AI smart enough to actually go back to his home or engage in any other activity without let's say getting stuck in some random bits of level geometry? The amount of scripting and path-finding involved in this open-world setting must be an absolute nightmare. How the heck is that gonna work?!

I'm very skeptical about the "going about their business" part of it.
With so little memory, the consoles would also account for two other characters on the other side of the huge map, at all times? Nah.
Probably when you change character it loads one of the various possible "set ups" they have prepared.
I think I read or saw somewhere that some time passes each time you shift characters outside of missions, so that would give them an excuse to make the character you just left be at a totally different event/place if you jump back to him immediately.
I'm not expecting nor do I want a correct simulation of their simultaneous lives, seems like a huge waste of resources that could've gone into putting a bunch of other actual gameplay stuff in.
I'm so hyped, being I'm my late 20s, it's been such a long while since I've actually been genuinely excited for a game, reading all the info and etc

Listening to Skeletons by Stevie Wonder made me realize, Michael is probably going to run into someone he betrayed when he went to the FIB. Not Trevor, but other people he worked with. I also assume Michael went to the FIB when his wife got pregnant, as he wanted a stable family life instead of chasing the next big heist.
Too bad his family ended up being putrid, but he might of caused their greedy and petty personalities by raking in money the FIB gave him. The rich American lifestyle tainted Michael's family quickly.
Would be mindblowing if Michael ratted on Franklin's father in the past.

The last GTA took place in 1911/1912. Red Dead Redemption is basically GTA but with a more badass name.
But what about the 70s/80s! That shit needs to be covered too. Well then again there is DLC and Rockstar have done great with expansions to past games.
Rygar 8 Bit
Jaguar 64-bit
one day i shall get my blade runner/fifth element styled gta game
Cyberpunk 2077. Believe.
Honestly, if Rockstar made a GTA V expansion, and it took place in Vice City in the 80's, people would lose their minds. I think I read something where Dan Houser said they wern't going to do big pieces of DLC because the overall reception sales wise was lukewarm.
And if GTA V lives up to what Rockstar has been saying, GTA V might be enough GTA for a long time.
Uh, can I recommend you Vice City? That's the 80's. not sure the 70's are different enough to do a whole game.
I've said before, but Michael's tie to the FIB is one of the most interesting things about him because he obviously won't tell Franklin and Trevor about it.
That does seem like a really smart way to handle it. At first, I thought the entire process was real time and the fact they'll be doing all of that on the 360's 512 MB memory and I'm like "What?!"
The 70's would be the perfect period to revisit Liberty City, as New York was a really grimy and dirty place in the 70's, but a lot of people would be turned off by returning to Liberty City so soon or at all.
I wouldn't mind it at all personally.

Ned Luke as Michael
Shawn Fonteno as Franklin
Danny Tamberelli is rumoured to be Jimmy.
On GTAForums they had found Amanda's (Michael's wife) voice actress, too.

Nice, link?
I agree. The 70s has such awesome music and they could incorporate the disco scene, street gangs, drugs and crazy politics of the era.
This was the thread.
I had not read the latest updates though, which seem to indicate that she's not Amanda after all (maybe someone else).
Or maybe she's just toying around with the fans, since technically she can't confirm anything?

She certainly seems passionate about getting into her character
