If IGN says the graphics are unimpressive I don't even know if I'll be able to handle it. Consindering their staff is mostly console fanboys with low standards I don't even know what to think.

Looks great and after the recent videos I am legitimately excited, but there is no way in hell that footage is from current gen ....... GTA IV barely ran on current gen years ago, never mind the obviously upgraded engine in 5.

I will only buy the game on PC or next gen console ...... make it happen Rockstar.

R* seem to be making a game wit a lot of features we wanted plus new ones we all agree are pretty dam amazing as well as doing many new/ bringing back incredible things like wildlife, full underwater exploration, largest list of weapons and vehicles in ANY gta game, full weapon and vehicle customisation and such yet people bitch about graphics.

Games like SD might look better BUT they have what is less than 25% of what we already know of V content and feature wise ( with a lot more stuff to be announced, plus MP) and it has a much much smaller and simpler map ( SD that is)


Some people...


I just hope the framerate is stable enough.

It really sounds like they are going all out and then some with a perfect blend of realism and fun in order to keep everyone happy. In other words, this is going to be one big, insanely detailed and content packed game.

Summary From GTAV.net
  1. You can buy property; houses, garages and businesses can all be purchased for extra revenue sources.
  2. You can customise yourself with haircuts, new clothes, and tattoos
  3. Each character is rated in a series of skill categories: Stamina, Shooting, Strength, Stealth, Flying, Driving, Mechanic, Lung Capacity.
  4. Each character has a 'Special': Franklin is an adrenalin junkie and can slow down time while driving; Trevor has a frenzy mode, where he does double damage, takes half damage, and has a unique melee attack; Michael has his own version of bullet time
  5. Specials are governed by a meter, it drains after use and recharges slowly
  6. Other skill categories are shared and can be improved by completing missions, side missions, activities and more
  7. Trevor will always be the best pilot, Franklin will always be the best driver but each can improve their proficiency a little
  8. One of the skill categories is stealth, suggesting players will be able to take different approaches to missions
  9. Pay N Sprays can also mod cars with paint jobs, new wheels, window tints, grilles, spoilers. Upgrades to suspension, engine and brakes can also be made.
  10. Weapons can also be customised with laser sights, scopes, silencers, and high capacity magazines
  11. You can pick up hitchikers, do stunt jumps and flying challenges, take part in yoga, golf, tennis or bike races.
  12. Some boats will include gear such as wetsuit, flippers and tanks for diving
  13. An underwater ecosystem exits, "the sea is teaming with fish and sharks"
  14. Treasures can be found underwater, but NPCs will be looking for them too
  15. GTAV rewards exploration, there's no signposting underwater, so you'll have to find the treasure the hard way
  16. Dives won't offer massive payoffs, but will "help grease the wheels"
  17. The character selection wheel is split into four triangles: Franklin, Trevor, Michael, and your multiplayer character
  18. It seems there's a closer relationship between single and multiplayer. Simply pressing Down on the d-pad will drop the play in and out of MP.
  19. Rockstar has said it will reveal more on multiplayer in the future
  20. There are subtle differences in the way each character moves to reflect their personalities; Michael is slower and deliberate.
  21. Rockstar says there will be five times as many pedestrians in GTA V as there were in Grand Theft Auto IV
  22. There's a "crazy level of detail": Tourist buses can be boarded for a tour of celebrity homes, film posters are plastered on the walls, men in comedy costumes try to corner you outside the Cathay Theatre, including the Superman-like Impotent Rage and Master Chief riff, Space Ranger.
  23. iFruit, the game's new phone, can be used to snap pictures and upload them to Rockstar's Social Club
  24. The phone also has apps. In addition to the camera there is internet, contacts, social media, a calendar, and a replay missions app. There are three more Rockstar hasn't yet revealed.
  25. Michael's obsession with classic films translates into in-game set pieces based on real world movies. In the demo the three characters mount a heist very similar to the one from Heat.
  26. 'Mini heists' are used to teach the player about preparation. Players must secure vehicles, outfits, masks, the getaway vehicle.
  27. These build up to a bigger heist where the execution must be flawless. They'll require the right crew and players will have to decide on the cheap option, which results in less skilled people, or paying more for skilled crew members that will take a larger cut.
  28. You can switch between Franklin, Trevor and Michael during a cutscene, manually, or automatically when the AI takes control for you
  29. Each character has a job to do, how much you switch yourself in or let the computer do, is entirely up to you
  30. If you die the game reloads to the last checkpoint, even if two other characters are alive
  31. Although it's up to the player when they switch, dialogue will suggest ideal moments. For example, when Michael and Franklin are being overwhelmed by snipers, Michael might ask for Trevor's help.
  32. A combat roll has been introduced for moving between cover
  33. There is a wider field of vision, and players can run-and-gun

If they can pull this off, it sounds like it will be better than the almighty RDR.

RDR had much less to do than this though. It did have some extra curricular activity but nothing on this level. This is going to have a AAA SP with tons of side things and a yet to be revealed MP component. Even free roam will be glorious but I imagine they will step up their game with better co op modes.

No longer boycotting the Wolfenstein franchise
I thought I remembered them specifically saying there would not be property buying. I like the change though, I'm a total sucker for that kind of thing.

I wouldn't worry about the framerate if RDR and Max Payne 3 are anything to go by. They ran smoothly on consoles (360 versions at least).

Only thing bothering me a bit is the multiple characters. Does that mean separate leveling of techniques? And is your money, weapons, property shared? Like if a buy a house and guns with one character, do i still own and have access to it?

Well I'm officially hyped for this. San Andreas was my favorite GTA and this seems likely to surpass it in every way.

Separate bank accounts from what I hear.

But GTA IV had framerate issues. RDR was barren and Max Payne isn't open world, so can't really compare. Every console GTA game has framerate problems. The new features in this one don't make it sound like they're going away.
