  1. I'd read comments saying the Multiplayer end is delayed past the release of the normal game, and I didn't see for reasons from Rockstar just yet, but it's a bit of a bummer, on the other hand, it's probably terribly ambitious and when people come on the 'new servers' it may be a challenge avoiding some technical SNAFU. However, in Los Santos we have a major plentiful map for teams of players to exploit. I won't be getting into the MP section straight away as it is

     

    GTAOnline will be launching October 1st.

  2. I can hear the Saint's Row 6 dev team crying themselves to sleep. Marvellous.

     

    Don't you mean Saints Row 4?

     

     

    I guess I just have a sour view on microtransactions, although I understand why people like it. I personally don't want to spend my cash on little things for the game, if it is not in the game when I buy it than I don't need it. Thats one of the reasons I didn't like the Collector's Edition that much.

     

    Well, I wouldn't mind having that Hotknife, but I can understand what you're saying.

  3. Yeah makes sense, if I am going to drop a million dollars on a fancy jet I wouldn't be happy if I were to lose that in an unexpected accident or something. ;)

     

    After this I am sure whatever they decide to do will be gold. Perhaps a trip down to Vice City. GTA Online will obviously be apart of their future plans going forward too. That is going to be interesting to see where they go with that. Regular DLC or maybe microtransactions. The latter of which I have no interest in.

     

    That's one thing I always disliked about GTA: saved cars were one-off use only. I'm happy it's changing, because honestly all the "unique" cars I've collected in GTA IV and its Episodes are pretty much just sitting there collecting dust because I don't want to lose them. :thumbsdown:

     

    I don't mind microtransactions really. It allows me to buy DLC that I want and not get stuff I don't want. For example, say I want that military Patriot with roof-mounted machine gun but don't want the new "Jefferson" town car, know what I mean? But as much as it may pain me to do so, I'll be holding off on DLC for the eventual Game of the Year edition (because let's be honest here, GTA V has pretty much already won GotY  :whistle: ) that includes everything on disc.

  4. From CVG

    You can buy cars, just like you can (in the real world). Or you can steal them if the mod shops are prepared to dabble with them. If they are, you can spray them and change the plates. If they're not prepared to do that, when the cops spot you in a stolen car, you'll get a Wanted level.

    If I remember correctly this was done in Mafia 2, it made for some tense gameplay trying to avoid the detection of the cops. Some people may not like this because it is entirely new to the series, but I feel it will really add a lot to the gameplay. It will give the game that edge, like you are really a criminal and actions have consquences in the game world.

     

    I'm liking the sound of that. Hopefully cops will be more sensitive like they were in Saints Row 2 and will pursue you if you drive recklessly enough and/or knock over fences, light poles, etc.. I'd also like for them to pursue if you run red lights (like in Driver) as well, but that might be a little too much for most people.

     

    Things like races and chases are definitely going to be much more tense and unpredictable, though.

     

    Edit: Am I reading the CVG page correctly, here? You can insure your car? :wtf: Is this going to be the final GTA game or something, because at this point I don't know what they can do down the line for GTA6 to top this...

  5. Damn, even I think this looks fun as hell and I rarely have interest in MP in any game. :wtf: I'm most intrigued by this bit I read on Kotaku.

    From the company's official description: "Grand Theft Auto Online … begins by sharing gameplay features, geography and mechanics with Grand Theft Auto V, but will continue to expand and evolve after its launch.."

    Possibly the inclusion of San Fierro and Las Venturas, and maybe more, at a later date?

     

    And that crew cab truck that was shown in the desert race just became my favorite vehicle in GTA V. I can't wait to customize the shit out of it.

  6. ^I hate to sound like a certain somebody to you, Black, but neither of those posts in any way answered the OP's question.

     

    To actually answer him, the exclusive radio stations only appear in the disc-based versions of the Episodes and replaces certain radio stations that were in the main game (e.g., Vice City FM replaces The Vibe 98.8).

  7. @Flyboy, check this reference I found, thinking you had got the heli name wrong, as Pavlov's dogs is a similar sounding term

     

    PAVE is a U.S. Air Force program name relating to electronic systems. Some state that it is just a codename, rather than an acronym. Others point to the definition of PAVE in some military glossaries as "Precision Avionics Vectoring Equipment" or "Precision Acquisition Vehicle Entry".

    Pave is indeed technically an acronym (it's also applied to a Black Hawk variant, known as the Pave Hawk), but I don't recall exactly what it stands for right off hand. However when referring to the aircraft, it's officially written as "Pave".

  8. "Sabre turbo" never really did impressed me in vice city. What I really am waiting for is the new generation "Phoenix" and "sultan"

     

    The offoad vehicles, particularly the Toyota Hilux-based "Rebel", are what I'm most interested in. The Varsity in Saints Row 2 was based on the Hilux and it ended up being my second favorite vehicle in the game after the Ford Expedition-based FBI. But still, I've always had an affinity for muscle cars and the Sabre Turbo was my favorite until GTA IV introduced the Charger-based Dukes.

     

     

    I thought it looked more like a cross between the Chinook and MH-53 Pave Low myself, due to the radar configuration on the front. But either way, I too, think it would be awesome if we could use it as a transport heli. San Andreas had the one you could transport vehicles only when you were on that mission, and I always thought it would be so cool to use it whenever you wanted.

     

    You're right, actually. I missed the nose. My bad. Though the size of Trevor in the cockpit leads me to think its been upscaled more akin to the larger Super Stallion/Sea Dragon.

  9. Is it just me or do those two strippers in the screenshot with Trevor look a little butch? I mean, I think a physically healthy (i.e., not an anorexic stick figure) woman is attractive, but come on...

     

    It looks like the returning "Sabre Turbo" is going to be a performance package upgrade to the basic Sabre GT this time.

     

    And considering the size of that military helicopter (it's a cross between an MH-53K Sea Dragon and CH-47 Chinook, for anyone wondering), I hope we can transport stuff around inside it.

  10. Grove Street is back, so are the fams, its the "old" (previois gen) characters you wont be seeing, but Grove Street is in the game....Grove Street Fams are in the game, how can the gang be in the game but not the Street they name themselves after? Think people, please.

     

    Theres even screenshots where you can see the word "Grove" sprayed on the wall in green spray paint.

     

    I just don't feel such circumstantial evidence is enough to definitively say that they are back. Don't get me wrong, I like GSF and if they do end up crossing over into the GTA4/5 Era, awesome. But I remain unconvinced at the moment. We'll just have to agree to disagree for now and wait until mid-September to find out for sure.

  11. Vinewood, for instance, is part and parcel of the Rockstar Universe, and even Candy Suxxx is expected to show up, as we know Love Fist will based on screenshot of Trevor's shirt in a night rain still shot.

     

    I hardly think Love Fist's logo on a couple of t-shirts constitutes proof that they'll physically appear in the game. Same goes for Candy Suxxx (though you'll have to point me to where she's been spotted in images or trailers, because I haven't seen her). The musician Crow, from the GTA3 Era, was advertised on a billboard in Alderney in GTA4, yet he didn't physically appear in the game.

  12. Vice City has been my favorite setting so far (whether GTA V's LS will change that, remains to be seen), so that would be my first pick for obvious reasons. You can criticize it, call it nostalgia, whatever else, but even today I have more fun playing Vice City and Vice City Stories than any other GTA.

     

    With that said, however, I'd also like to see what Rockstar can do with the American south. New Orleans, for example, is one of the US' more unique locales and can get pretty crazy, especially around Mardi Gras.
