  1. I'd like multiple cities. I spent most of my time in de Desert, the countryside and LV. Just coming back to LS now and then for something in my imaginary storyline. It's still the only game I've ever did that in. Having that vast world gave nearly endless possibilities. GTA IV feeling somewhat confined in my opinion and in the end I found it to be rather disappointing. Just didn't give me the same kicks as Vice City and San Andreas did (GTA III was before my time I guess.. at least before I was able to buy games myself).

    I doubt that Rockstar is going to do it, but I do sincerely hope that they put in some other city. Or at least some little other towns like the country side had. Just thinking of driving through the countryside from town to town with K-Rose on makes me happy. Same for doing stuff with the Hydra over the desert and area whatever (probably 69, knowing Rockstar) with K-DST. Rockstar is extremely skilled in recreating time periods. I don't understand why they're suddenly making their GTA games in the present. They just aren't as good at that if you ask me.

    ^I agree, there was ALWAYS something to do SOMEWHERE in SA and it didn't take you long to figure out what you wanted to do. Whereas GTA IV kinda left me bored and limited to what you can actually do. Hopefully with the vast country side, mountains, ocean (jetskis sound fun) and whatever else R* throws in there, we should be entertained for quite a while.

    I think that they are making GTA games in the present now because they feel that they have generally covered the other eras. Now I know that they didn't even etch the surface of the amount of story or game material that they could extract from the 80s, 90s and early 2000s but since GTA has always (more so with and after the release of GTA III) been a satire/interpretation of the American and world culture, I think that they find it interesting to experiment with how accurately they can represent the world today in a video game medium. Since there have been so many crime movies and games set in the 60s-2000s, it would make me think that R* would feel privileged or proud to have the opportunity to create a game based on what crime/life is like currently. Also they did some games that were set in quite early on the 20th century like L.A. Noire and Red Dead Redemption so maybe they're leaving the 'past' to games like that. Anyways maybe I'm over analyzing it a little bit but that's just my opinion. I would love to see a GTA game set +20 years ago because it would be a nice change and exposure to a time that I didn't grow up in. One more thing, so far GTA games (starting with III, not too sure about 1, 2 and London) have been set in the 80s,90s and 2000s. So maybe, since it is technically a new decade, this will be their crack at setting a game in the (although not radically different, but still significantly different) 2010s - if that's what we're calling it these days haha.

  2. Anyone know any German around here? Doing a little skit for my German class and I'm making corrections that my professor made to my script.

    Sie sollten abends für sie kochen und kaufen sie ihr einen neuen Herd.

    translates to (if I'm not mistaken)

    You should cook dinner for her and buy her a new stove.

    The context of this is a nephew giving his uncle tips on a birthday present for his wife (the nephew's aunt). For some reason the professor circle the first word of the sentence 'Sie' and wrote 'Who?' and also underlined 'solten'. I'm pretty sure that I translated it correctly since the nephew is talking to his uncle I used Sie and solten is the correct conjugation for this pronoun. So yeah, any suggestions?

    Kak dela u vseh?

  3. ^ It was the same story for me, maybe off by a year or so. As for your point about 7 year old playing GTA 4 I totally agree. I have a little brother who is in grade 5 and I introduced him to video games at a fairly young age (6 or 7). He learned how to play Halo, couple of Crash Bandicoot games and others but I always tried to stop him from playing GTA. Both my parents and I thought that it was a bit too violent for his age. He got his hands on it a couple of times while no one was home of course :P Anyways yeah I moved away from home for university and left the 360 with him. He has the option of playing it now but I think he still sticks to COD or whatever.

  4. What exactly defines dubstep((I know I know, play the videos))? I love me some electronic music, most of it, in fact.

    As opposed to 'UNCE UNCE UNCE UNCE' it's more like 'WAHWAHHWAHWHAHWAH' haha. I don't really like dubstep too much myself but it's gotten extremely popular in North America lately. I don't mind it at parties I guess and there are a couple of songs that I'll listen to occasionally.

    Hope you guys have seen this one:

    My friend showed me this guy's videos a couple days ago, you should check his channel out. Some of them are pretty entertaining. He basically takes videos, matches 'em up with dubstep songs and edits the videos accordingly.

    Oh yeah a friend of mine made this song, refers to it as 'chillstep'. For an amateur I thought that it was pretty good.

  5. @Spaz: Yeah I forgot about his name change, MLL mentioned it up there too. As for the avatar/sig, I think it might have been made by Chrisman? I could be totally wrong though.

    @Gerard: That's a tough one to figure out. Can't say I have any good suggestions, I'll think about it though.

  6. Back when the game first came out, I was all over the multiplayer. To be honest the TDM and other competitive modes were really glitchy (people would die 3-4 seconds after you unloaded your entire magazine into them), a bit boring and lacking fun. Races were alright to play every now and then although I never really got into them that much. I was a huge Achievement junkie back then so I played all of the cooperative modes multiple times and it was actually quite fun when you got a good team together. However, the mode that I did enjoy and invested A LOT of time into was Free Mode. I played with some members from here a couple times (Noru, Urbanoutlaw and TEC-9 or whatever his latest name change was) and it was pretty fun. I also had a close friend from high school who loved the game as much as I did. And so over the past few years we have invested at least +150-200 hours into Free Mode. We'd always find something fun to do; whether it was holding off the cops (sometimes at the barge at the airport), doing helicopter pick ups from the water, doing stunts on motorcycles, following people and shanking them for hours on end, racing, doing every glitch we heard about (including entering every 'non-enter-able building that we could) or just relaxing in the city and finding something else to do. After a while it just got really boring even though we did that same thing for the DLC packs. Since I recently switched over to PC gaming and bought the entire GTA collection, I might be willing to do it all over again since it'll be quite a different experience.

  7. Haha wow talk about ancient. Some parts that amused me were:

    GTA3 Info

    I need someone to write something about this game, please contact me if you don't mind writing something.

    About GTA:VC

    Tommy is a 35 year-old punk just back from 15 years in maximum security. He is sent to Vice City by Sonny Forrelli for a drug deal. There, Tommy is set up and loses his money and is left without his cocaine. It seems Sonny is beginning to hate Tommy. Tommy has to get the money back so he can make it up to Sonny... yet the only way to do this is through crime. So cops, gangs, an people stand in his way... the only way he could last is to take over the city himself... what does he have to lose...

    Thanks to Daniel Fomin for writing this

  8. GTA V / GTA SA comparison (SA looks better):

    This video amused me, but I'm hoping the 'looks better' was sarcasm. I personally am looking forward to both SR3 and GTAV; this is not a place for partisan divisions.

    I'm afraid not. More polygons and sharper textures doesn't always make for better graphics...

    @Spaz & that other guy

    Apparently opinions = trolling now...

    Yeah. Because your opinions are just that. You are nothing more than a troll. It's what you will always be. It's probably all you even know how to do.

    There's gotta be more than LS. The other two cities? Who knows. But there's definitely a mountain, and some more rural areas.

    There won't be. Rockstar said it's just Los Santos + surroundings. I'm assuming it's the same surroundings from SA, mountain(s), forest and country.

    You just said there won't be more then LS, and then went on to say there will be surroundings. You're just TRYING to disagree with me now. Or are you incapable of seeing that you posted the exact same thing I did?

    P.S. All aboard the quote train! I thought they automatically took quoted quotes out?

    I'm guessing he was just nitpicking at that point. And woohoo quote train!

  9. ^Whaat, no way. Last I remember you were planning for something in the military? Mind you my only memory of that is when you posted photos of yourself posing with bad ass guns haha.

    Oh yeah and the only new stuff with me was moving from the west coast of Canada to the east for university. Everything else hasn't really changed all that much...

  10. Also when you see the guy in the car with the soft top roof going down, doesnt anyone else think he look's like CJ? cus he has got a white vest top but his face does look very different which I figured was just cus of different graphics engine

    Once again he does look slightly similar but if this game is taking place in present day, then CJ would easily be in his 40s by now.

  11. CS:S, TF2 and a few GTA games here and there. Moved across the country for university so I left my 360 with my brother who is in grade 5 and probably needs it more than I do. Really starting to enjoy PC gaming though!

    Edit: Oh and The Impossible Game from time to time when I feel like getting pissed off and throwing my iPod across the room.

  12. Pretty positive that it's the same dude. Notice the similar hairlines. It would also make sense because the first shot is when he's talking about how his 'kids will be like the kids on TV...' but 'you know how it is' and then it switches to the robbery scene implying that it's the same guy narrating as the one shown in both scenes.

  13. Oh ok so DLC was out for xbox and ps3.. well my point is that it did never get released for PC which is sad. Anyway with Los Santos.. So basicly GTA5 is San andreas though moved slightly so its in Los Santos now ? Which means San Andreas could be on the map ?? I cant remember los santos at all from SA.. Except a radiostation with that name.. Did we get to actually go to Los Santos in SA ?? San Fierro was the hillbilly contryside right ?

    The DLC did get released for PC as well actually. As for San Andreas you got access to each city in the following order Los Santos (Los Angeles), San Fierro (San Francisco) and Las Venturas (Las Vegas). San Andreas (California) is the state that those cities are in, so based on the official R* announcement the game is set in Los Santos with the surrouding countryside, mountains and beaches. Basically the bottom half of the old SA map that totalaccessGTA posted. However, if they are re-imagining the city, they might change out the layout and geography just as MLL said in another thread.

  14. Just had a thought:

    1) Euphoria engine

    2) BMX

    3) Chiliad

    4) ??????

    5) Profit.

    Sounds like a plan. I also want to try out the classic never-ending-nitrous-fueled-ATV-backflips off the top of the mountain. It really looks amazing in the trailer, can't wait to see the rest of it, as well as the rest of the 're-imagined' landscape. Edit: whoops you said re imaging haha, my bad.

    Not dissapointed Im looking forward to grabbing a hog and drive it into the contryside hills.. San andreas had most everything i wanted but it did have alot of cartoonish look. Just wish theyd bring back more of the excelent humor which was the trademark in VC.. WE WANT CAMEROS.. Would be nice to meet CJ again.. Perhaps even Tommy

    I'm guessing you meant 'cameos'* unless you spelled Camaros (the cars) wrong. It would be interesting to get some insight on how the city changed since 1992. Maybe OG Loc is still around! :cigar:

  15. that gangsta shit is so 1992 bro, i don't think they'll repeat the same theme, even though there must be some street racial gangs in it, i'm sure it'll be completely fresh new, different feel of Los Santos, i mean, even Liberty City is always different in every GTA series right?

    Haha some people might argue that nowadays :P Good point though and I'm quite positive it won't be just 'gangsta shit', L.A. is a huge and vast city so R* won't have a problem creating a new fresh look for Los Santos. Here's a quote from that little announcement to support this point.

    A bold new direction in open-world freedom, storytelling, mission-based gameplay and online multiplayer, Grand Theft Auto V focuses on the pursuit of the almighty dollar in a re-imagined, present day Southern California.

  16. From rockstargames.com : "Developed by series creator Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto V heads to the city of Los Santos and surrounding hills, countryside and beaches in the largest and most ambitious game Rockstar has yet created." So I guess it's gonna be only Los Santos, and not the entire San Andreas =(

    source: http://www.rockstarg...nouncement.html

    I'm sure they will make it more fulfilling and dynamic than the previous version of San Andres.

    I agree, when you look at the old San Andreas map, Los Santos and the surrounding countryside area take up a HUGE portion of the map (if you include Mt. Chilead since we assume it's going to be included). It takes up almost half of the map and I am sure R* will not let us down when re-creating the city. I am a little disappointed that it is not the whole state but I guess we will have to wait for more updates/trailers to get a better idea of how the game is going to turn out. Really excited for the rural environment though (Mt. Chilead looks amazing!), it should be much more fun and lively to explore than the dark grey streets of Liberty City :P

    Thanks for the heads up though.

    Awesome trailer, looking forward to playing this one. By the looks of it, if it ends up being just Los Santos, it may be possible that they may using those mountains in the background as the boundary instead of just using the Ocean to surround the whole place.

    Please be San Andreas! I hope you can roam around the countryside, like in San Andreas as it was nice to explore somewhere else other than the city.

    Welcome back you two! And it looks like you're probably right Noru about the boundary thing.

  17. Haha I see that you finally ended up implementing Next and Previous buttons for the screenshots section :P Looking forward to the upcoming activity and changes at TGTAP. Let me know if you need any help with anything! Relatively simple stuff though cause I'm not to savvy with website designing, mods, etc.

  18. Relax, the game isnt released yet :D

    Just like to point out I don't think I said it would definitely happen. It's a possibility. We'll consider it.

    Agree with both points. It's better to wait and see how active the forum gets and what kind of crowd it draws in the upcoming months.

    As for the old gang system, I still remember the days of the built-in gang game with money, weapons, arcade games (I think?) and continuous, non-stop clicking hahaha. Then from what I remember it just became that a bunch of gangs gathered and had casual conversations in their private forums. The DS was pretty fun Spaz, I wish I still had my bad ass avatar and signature that was made by one of the gang members. Is Skyline still around by the way?

  19. Yes I'm pretty sure we have roughly a year (at least) to wait for the release. To expand on my idea of multiple playable characters, here's a couple screenshots of the guy who appears 2 or 3 times during the trailer.

    redcardude1l4f.png

    ^ For this one I noticed that at the last possible second before the trailer changes to another scene, the guy in the red car sticks his head back a bit behind the windshield so he can check out the girl's ass haha. Which was also the way I was able to screenshot his face.

    redcardude29ge.png

    redcardude3xk5.png

    ^Here he is again shown later in the trailer when he is evading the cops and crashes into a blue car in the process.

    robbery1lzi.png

    ^And to tie this character to the storyline, I slowly went through the robbery scene and noticed that it is possible that he is the driver of the van. Physical features look vaguely similar (although it is hard to tell because of the lack of light); bald head, dark complexion and it looks like he is wearing wifebeater.

    Anyways I think that it is very possible that this guy may be a playable character in the game in addition to the presently assumed middle aged main character. The trailer features him driving a few times in a similar focus to the way the 'main character' is shown driving. This could mean that there are multiple protagonists or MAYBE a first time co-op mode/storyline in the series. What do you guys think?
