Bring it on! It makes sense, they want to show all of what they have learned this generation since IV. I'm expecting Rockstar to showcase the technical aspects like gunplay from Max Payne, the customization, the economy and how we can spend our money, and more of each character's world area respectively. Should be fun.
Also, would love to hear anyone who is planning on not watching the gameplay series. A media blackout for a game like GTA seems very futile, you know all your friends will be talking about it, everyone on the forums will discuss it. Unless you avoid the internet. I'm not going to even consider it.

People are requesting all types of shit, I am suprised no one has asked for the ending to the game. I'm happy Rockstar as opted out of their usual gameplay videos (I am selfish I know). Gives the game a sense of mystery, which I like. And I think they shouldn't have too either. Oh yeah a little over two months left! News is coming in any day now.

So I picked up the preorder poster from Gamestop. Wow the colors are insane. You really appreciate the stunning art direction when its up close. I take it back this is the best box art in the series.
Its 22x28 for those wondering.

Easy choice for me: PS4.
When Sony announced the price was 100 less, why would I even want an Xbox One. The 24 hour online verification and used game policy is a huge turn off, and an even bigger turn off is the way Microsoft handled the whole process.
Sony is doing all the
right now, that it is going to be really interesting to see how Microsoft will bounce back after this. One thing is for sure however I won't be buying an Xbox ever again, I made that mistake when I jumped the gun for Episodes from Liberty City. And speaking off games, for those still on the fence, games are what it will probably come down too. For me PS4's indie friendly environment and diverse catalog of games tops Xbox's first person-shooters. Quantum Break made by Remedy, interests me, but that will eventually come to PC (much like Alan Wake).On the flip side PS4 has Naughty Dog (Uncharted), who are my favorite devs along with Rockstar of course. And lets not forget about Agent (the R* PS3 exclusive announced back in 2009?).
This map puts things in an easier perspective.

Yeah the folks over at GTAforums have done an amazing job putting together the map. Now CVG too is working on their own mapping project, very cool stuff. CVG has actually seen the game too, so I will take their final creation as the definitive map until we actually get our hands on the game.
I am buying the Special Edition mainly for the steelbook.
-
Looks like I will be getting the Special Edition. Although that is a really nice looking hat, 70 more dollars, holy crap. Snapbacks go for around 35 - 30 dollars so I don't know if that deposit bag is worth all the extra money. Still too much digital content for my tastes.
-
Perhaps using this checklist can help pinpoint which mission it is you are not getting. I'd take a guess and say that it is one of Gerry's missions (maybe Ransom) In that case sometimes you have to wait to receive a phone call before you can start the mission, calling them works as well, but you said you've already done that, so I don't know what else it could be.
-
Nah, I don't think horses will be in the game. Wouldn't that be one of things on the stats, like driving, stamina, horse riding. I think it is more of a period piece thing, similiarly to how art director Aaron Garbut said that Vice City was 80's, horses are distinctly Red Dead, the American frontier period, I don't think they would want to move it to GTA.
But I say the more animals in the game the better.

Trevor has a teddy bear? I wonder who's it is? hmmm...

I too play a lot of racing games, though not as much as I used to. The original Driver (1999) was one of the first videogames I ever played, still one of my favorite racing games with MCLA and NFS: Underground.
I was playing IV with friends the other day, they both prefer Sleeping Dogs's driving over IVs, understandbly when they took over the controls in GTA they both crashed spectacularly, failing to brake before taking a tight turn among other things. I agree with MrLlamaLlama that once you learn to adapt to controls and have some self control over the gas, the driving is much more rewarding. The challenge is what makes it more fun, weaving in and out of traffic with the cops chasing you while maintaining control, when pulled off is very rewarding. Even when you do crash the car it is so well done imo, that it doesn't ever become an annoyance. And you will only fly out of the car if you smash into something, don't smash into it.
I too am wondering what "friendlier" is alluding too, more foregiving, but how?
What open world driving do you prefer over IV's TUN3R?
-
"GTAV's [car handling] looks to be friendlier, but in no way dumbed down". Thank god. The car handling in IV is the best in any open world game out there,and GTA game for that matter. I've played Sleeping Dogs, Mafia 2 among others. The cop chases are infinitely more fun than the previous games, its one of the things that keep me coming back to Liberty City, obviously I'm not the only one as Edge mentioned.
-
I'd also point out that whoever voices Michael in GTA V really does sound like Ray Liotta to me, great pick in audio casting from Rockstar, as they knowingly won't hire Liotta again! We all know that! haha
We know Michael is voiced by Ned Luke, he is the perfect suite to play Michael, I'm already a big fan.
As for a celebrity: Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) from Breaking Bad trying to sell meth to Trevor. It makes perfect sense R*
-
I like to think we'll be able to hitch up those gigantic trailers and attempt to scale chiliad just like we could in SA, so maybe that...
Yes. Yes. Going to do that right now
-
The constant character switching ensures the action doesn’t let up until the shooting stops, while regenerating health, another series first, encourages ballsy play.
- Edge
When you're on the receiving end of a hail of bullets, you'll also notice a slightly modified health system. You can regenerate up to 50 percent of your health, but you need med packs to make up the difference.
- GameInformer
Not a fan of regenerating health, isn't having checkpoints enough.
Rockstar have it regenerate up to 25% at least, similar to Max Payne when you would go from near death to a limp, but still have a fighting chance. Half is too much, what do you guys think?
*enters room* Oh shit. *exits room*
-
I agree, but I am just going to have to trust Rockstar on this one, they have never let me down. Still no previews mention much about the driving, other than it is similar to Midnight Club; LA in that we can tweak the cars on par with MCLA, that is very cool.
-
IGN also said that the game is "still a solid six months away from being released", so yeah.
I am loving everything I am reading so far, but hopefully the special character ablities are not too over the top, it would just seem too out of place in a GTA game for me.
-
Edit. Ooops already posted.
So much going on in these trailers. Think we are going to need another trailer analysis.
-
I Want to Break Freeeeeeeeeee!!! Just take my money Rockstar
-
So my guess is GTAV site goes up on the 29th, to replace the placeholder they have now. And then followed by the three character trailers.
-
Nice relaxing music, almost like its putting me in a trance of some sort... oh shit!
^^Also above as R* has stated before in the GameInformer cover issue:
The five PS2 games are one universe, and this is the high definition universe, so they don't co-exist, "Houser says. "You won't ever see CJ or Tommy Vercetti. They would be like mythical characters in this world who never existed."
Sounds like some fan's wishful thoughts, luckily for us Dan Houser is writing the script.
-
I found it interesting that the Ps3 version is slightly different, I believe this is the first time this has happened. The ifruit girl looks "better" for lack of words on the PS3 version imo, and we see more of rifle scope, no big deal though.
-
One of the best in the series, its going up against San Andrea's box art, which is my favorite. Love the top three boxes, Michael on the jet ski, Franklin's face, and Trevor. The GTAV girl isn't really doing anything for me, love the addition of Chop, but not sure about the background (too much purple maybe?). Well other than that, the colors used are fantastic, really stands out like Vice City's box art. I give it 9/10.
-
Rockstar has spoken! Digital versions coming soon, and the mural may be finished by tommorow.
-
I wouldn't exactly say this is only a GTA community problem. Maybe the culture is changing, the internet allows us to get away with things we normally wouldn't say to others, likewise I doubt some of those people would say the things they have said, to the developers faces who have been working their asses of the past four or five years.
Remember the uproar when Left 4 Dead 2 was announced. http://www.thegtaplace.com/forums/topic/23216-left-4-dead-2-boycott/ Sometimes people will freak out over anything, if only just to find something to complain about. Someone said it before there are many things to do between now and September. Relax and let Rockstar release the game, so that it is not the date we want, but the one we deserve.

GTAV Artwork: Friends and Family
in GTA V News
Posted
I think it is like the second worst kept secert in the gaming industry that GTAV is going to come to PC eventually. Sometime 6 - 8 months down the line if we are going on Rockstar's previous track record. (I would put money on that). So they are probably just getting sick of hearing about it. Next gen consoles - I have no idea.
