I don't know what you are talking about because all I can think is "Damn! A mission with car-carrier truck dumping cars to block the police? THAT IS FUCKING AWESOME!"

not to block police, clearly someone is driving the silver car (spins and drives away). escape the police in the silver car, not the carrier.

RDR was using just 2xMSAA
GTA4 was 2XMSAA which broke in a lot of places, plus it used a nasty post process filter, plus bloom to make the game look blurry. If you notice, the game is actually sharper at night.

The thing is that the RDR shots were way sharper than those GTAV shots.

If the proportion stays the same, then, i should be worried.
By the way despite being very aliased, RDR (on 360) was still much better than GTA4, but also had fewer elements to deal with on screen (although it had overall far better graphics, especially the lighting) but GTAV seems to aim much higher than both titles.
I don't know, but i don't think in miracles and the HW is what it is.

Blocky shadows, free-floating foliage and aliasing.

Welp, that pretty much wraps it up for GTA V.

If only they had access to magic.
 
That shark is effing huge! It looks more like a whale shark than a Great White. Hopefully they readjust it some to make it more anatomically correct. If that's supposed to be a Great White it would be the fattest Great White ever.

Haha it is pretty fat looking, but it's probably meant to be a great white or a bull shark. It's closer to the camera than the diver.

Jaggy windscreen wipers, blocky shadow?
WHAT AN UGLY FUCKIN GAME, WHAT IS THIS, PLAYSTATION 1 GAME LOL
Way to pick out the most inconsequential thing in a still screenshot, ignoring how the whole game looks trolls

Just pointing out that these could possibly just be console screenshots.

Of course its the console version. Rockstar said the trailer and the shots are from the ps3. PC version isnt even confirmed yet, remember.

1) R* didn't say that, they said the trailer was from in-game footage and the Game Informer editor said the demo they saw, ran on a ps3.

2) Whatever a developer says prior to release doesn't matter that much, or bullshots wouldn't even exist.

You obviously haven't met Dennis.

Looks incredible, especially the lighting. If the framerate holds up it'll be the best looking open-world game by a mile, and one of the best looking games in general.

Also, I'm glad underwater environments are back in. So few games do that anymore.

Just like the cross breeded vehicles then:)
 
Did anyone figure out what the thing was in the water in that one screen?

Someone said sharks fin but it didn't look like one.

I think the 2nd trailer is evidence enough that they aren't doing that. This game's tone seems to be a bit more "reckless abandon" in comparison to GTAIV, and the characters seem to revel in their jobs way more than Niko did. Truthfully, I'm glad they've lightened up a bit. The nature of this series is too ridiculous for the narrative and protagonist to be so serious. Not to mention vanilla GTAIV was extremely light on mission variety and had terrible controls. Plus if you're going to make a serious crime drama, it has to be intense. The only thing intense about GTAIV was the struggle between my hands and getting Niko to take cover, or shoot someone through a doorway.

There's a time and place for "mature and realistic." In terms of tone, GTA is not the time nor the place.

Well.. You can have a more mature and more realistic game and still have all of the above and more. Just like real life isn't just about being serious and follow some narrow corridor. In many ways RDR was more mature than GTAIV - and still in many ways more fun. So when some of us are talking about how we loved that GTAIV went more mature and want GTAV the be even more so, we don't necessarily mean we want less fun and options.

RDR fun isn't GTA fun. Despite being in the same genre, they're totally different takes on it. GTA is nonsense. You steal cars every 20 seconds, shootouts in the street nearly every mission, hijack all manner of other vehicles, blow stuff up, kill hundreds upon hundreds of people in bustling cities, etc., etc. They can't go any further down the "mature and realistic" path tonally without fundamentally changing what the game is, or they risk the narrative and gameplay becoming even more disconnected. I'm not saying there shouldn't be more mature storytelling beats throughout the experience, but if they want to continue making over the top crime stories, they were right to tone down the seriousness for this game (or at least I hope they have)

You can't have 40 hours of conflicted, reluctant protagonists committing crimes every mission with no realistic motives, repercussions, or character development. It just doesn't mesh. Even RDR struggled with John Marston, who supposedly turned himself around, still killing at least 10 people every shootout. Had RDR been a linear shooter without the Western setting, people would've nitpicked to hell just like Uncharted.

PLEASE tell me there will be meaningful underwater exploration. That would make me buy this game.

The ocean terrifies me in real life, but I would love to do this in a video game.

Same here! I haven't been this excited for a GTA since Vice City!

well, same on the first part anyway. I love exploring the ocean in real life as well as in games.
btw, you should check out Endless Ocean 2 on Wii if you have one. Best Scuba Diving game I've ever played, and still one of the best games on the console.

I'm not big on fishing in real life. But if there's some kind of check list (like in RDR) for catching an elusive blue marlin or other types of sea life, that would be relevant to my interests.
Holy Crap! I didn't even think of this! If they include fishing this may be the last game I ever buy...

Underwater is completely fleshed out now, city size confirmed too if I remember correctly.
Are you serious?
Just thinking about them saying that there will be the equivalent of 2 Red Dead Redemption's maps of fully detailed ocean bottoms, with coral reefs, underwater caves and shit.
Oh boy.
Source on this? anybody?

The hell are you saying. Saying you want a game to be more mature is fundamentally stupid and it makes you sound like a pompous jackass. GTAiv was in no way more mature than San Andreas, it was just more boring.

Yeah, I wonder how extensive the underwater wildlife is going to be. Could be crazy.
imagine going waaaay out into the ocean with the submersible and seeing a pack of humpback whales or a blue whale :O

could GTAV be the best nature game of all time? yes it could.
hope theres a giant squid or some other sea monster out there to find cant wait
didn't RDR have like 40 different species or something? i don't think Rockstar is going to half-ass this aspect of the game. i expect to see crabs, dolphins, turtles etc. coral reefs with lots of tiny fish etc would be cool as well. but most of all i want to be able to dive reeeeally deep and to see massive whales and squids.
They should hide Leviathan at the deepest point of the ocean and have Bigfoot skulking around the mountains.
I'd love an ongoing side quest that lets you snap pics of wildlife for extra cash/rewards. On land or underwater.
Throw in a good treasure hunt aspect with good or fun rewards and the game will be complete for me.
So many people didn't play Endless Ocean 2

Yeah, well, that's just like, your opinion, man.

[/thedude]

Joking aside, y'all always get so serious on GAF arguing about Rockstar's games and their "tone". Some people liked the PS2 trilogy style, some people like GTA IV / Red Dead's style. No need to get angry.

Besides, with all the shit they seem to be adding to GTA V outside of the main story, you'll probably be able to sidestep all that anyway if you find it to be so bad.

Source is various previews during the unveiling in November.

The GTAV map is 5 times that of RDR, 3/5 of land and the remaining 2 oceanic floor.

Also, from the Game Informer preview:

"We are always looking for ways we can give the player a different experience or new toy-set to use; allowing the player to go underwater is a function of that. Like any area, the underwater has had the same attention as above land, with rocky canyons, deep ravines, and coral beds, with the same goal of distinctive features, areas, and fun."

Keep in mind that this is the first HD R* game to portray underwater (missing from both GTA4 and RDR) and that R* is, this gen, obsessed with their world building.

Yes, i expect nothing short of amazing.
 
Of course the foliage in GTAIV looked awful.

They used a crosshatching brush to paint the leaves of trees. Not dissimilar to this quick mock-up I made.

I'm with Dennis on this one.

Is it really that hard to make convincing leaves? (No it isn't) Or is just the general mismanagement of Rockstar to blame?

I can't help but think that a lot people played GTA IV with auto aim on. The controls are much, much better with when you free aim. The pace of the shoot outs slows way down and you're able to better move around the environment.

And Dennis, I actually agree with you about the tone of the game. I too hope they stay away from the Ballad of Gay Tony mission types, which I found to be ridiculous for the most part.

Hotline Miami made me really want a new Vice City. Could you imagine that kind of soundtrack during missions? I mean the radio stations would be official stuff, but it could be in the background during it.

GTA VI; Aaron garbut (Art Director) spoke about this recently.

"Any chance that Vice City might return in a future GTA?":

It is always a possibility. There are a few references to the city in our current-gen GTAs so it is part of that HD universe, and it is certainly somewhere we would love to revisit. However Vice City, perhaps more than any other GTA game, was as much about the era as the setting. Miami in the 1980's is so iconic it would feel strange to revisit the city in a different time period.

Of course at some point we would like to have one big world containing all our cities and let the player fly between them and revisit their favorite areas, and in that context reimagining Vice City would be very interesting.

We had talked about doing the Everglades. I think we even roughed some of it in. That would have been great. Basically expanding out of the city into the surroundings would be good, you get such good contrasts, but that was something that we devoted a lot of energy to in the later games.

I wouldn't mind a modern Miami set GTA.

The Miami Vice reboot looked pretty gorgeous.
And i like the look of the city (going by cinema and google images, at least).
