Ummm you may want to read IGN's review again as it says in GTA 4 you can only enter 1 in 500 buildings. not GTA 5

Cheers. Speed reading stuff ... bound to have a couple of minor mistakes.

IGN's article was terrible anyway, their standards are seriously slipping. They barely revealed anything about the game, compared to say CVG who posted tonnes of details, in fact it's where most of our summary is taken from.

Yeah i completely agree! CVG's was much better.

Holy shit i cant wait to rob stores and ATMs. i wonder if you'll be able to rob people too

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.

Yeah i am not a fan of the special abilities and attributes

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 have standards? That's new.

Anyway, I admit I see a lot of stuff here I ether missed from GTA SA or always wanted in GTA. Wish Rockstar weren't such assholes...

Assholes for bringing back stuff you wanted?

When are you going to kill yourself? This is the first semi-positive thing you've ever said on this forum about R*/GTA. Then you end it immediately. What is actually your problem? You're getting banned after your response btw so make it accurate.

The constant character switching ensures the action doesn’t let up until the shooting stops, while regenerating health, another series first, encourages ballsy play.

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.

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*

Actually I think regenerative health is ok if done well, I think MP3 did it well and from the sounds of this I think GTAV will too, so I think 50% is fine. I am sure they will have done a lot of testing between 10% and 100% to see what worked best and settled on 50.

.Besides they could always change that, if they feel that it is not adequate.

I think i love you now! Please ban him. all he ever does is post unfounded complaints about the game and company that this forum is all about, and the complaints are never contributive whatsoever. Nothing irritates me more than what he has to say about every news update

• Car modding makes a return! Pay 'n' Spray's now double up as mod shops and offer the ability to swap out license plates, as well as provide performance upgrades and cosmetic options such as new spoilers, grilles, and window tints. Suspension and brake upgrades can also be carried out.

Sounds a lot like Saints Row's car customization, which I've had hours upon hours of fun with. And hopefully suspension upgrades include lift kits.

I think the idea of regenerative health is cool, solely because the A.I will be more intelligent than any of the previous games and I guess you will have to make a strategy during gunfights.

Yeah, but I also agree with Blur that 25% might be a better amount than a full half.

That's not true! I said a lot of nice things about Rockstar. Like the fact that they are the best at fooling the suckers and taking their money, or that they can brainwash even the most rational person and turn them into a fanboy / girl like noone else can!

Anyway you seem to be forgetting that they delivered three shitty PC ports one after the other in the last few years, and not because they made mistakes like every other human being, but because they didn't give a shit, if they had, they'd have ported the games (or better yet, developed them alongside the console versions AS IT SHOULD BE) themselves instead of handing them over to some cheap Canadian studio with no experience whatsoever.

The pattern is the same with GTA V, they delay the PC version and release the console versions first cause a lot of console players will  buy PC version afterwards, in addition to the console version they already own (two-for-one sale, fact) whereas vice-versa, nein. Then when the console version sales start dropping they begin work on a low-budget, poorly optimized PC port which sells anyway cause people are f*cking stupid and take Rockstar's word for it instead of trying the game first.

I'm all too predictable.

Wow, IGN's articles were just terrible. They didn't reveal much but point out the games faults.

Anyways, I don't mind the regenerating health up to 50%, I can see why they decided to do this. Since there are now 3 characters you'll probably want to have full health, Lets say your using Trevor and he gets low on Health, You'll probably start looking around trying to find one health pack in a gun fight to heal him. Now lets say you switch to franklin and you notice he's about to die but there are no more health packs in the area. You'll more than likely won't bother using him since one mess up and you'll be dead.

I think they will have the same health system they had in max Payne 3.

A literal Smorgasboard of new info for the weekend, so much coming out I hadn't been able to do a proper writeup on GTAChronicles about it all, but nice going with this, Chris! I've been more busy offline resigned to the long waiting leading up to GTA V on release day, when the band The Eagles are also set to perform that evening, the same day GTA V comes out here in my town, I can't believe the good fortune! Now, it would certainly be serendipitous if Hotel California featured in the GTA soundtrack, wouldn't it?!? haha Really nice update and it feels oh, so much closer to release now!!

I thought you said there was more info coming over the weekend.

I never expect new updates over the weekend, to be honest! hahaha
