[Archived] Grand Theft Auto V

[Tom]

A lot of that is hyped up because of the franchise though, had it been all that then been a different game people wouldn't say it was the best trailer ever etc (In my opinion of course)

[Clitherover]

Is it San Andreas because all I saw was LA (Las Venturas) and some countryside?, I

didn't see any San Francisco or Las Vegas (which would look immense by night) unless they are planning to show us them in two other trailers in the future. Also I thought they hinted at not doing the whole of the San Andreas region because of the how huge it would be, deffo wouldn't work on the 360 without disc changing.

Looks good anyway.

It's definitely the state of San Andreas. We saw Los Santos, the countryside,the mountains and the biggest indicator of the setting was the 'Vinewood' (hollywood sign) near the end. Like you said they will show other parts of the state in future trailers.

if you look above on the picture of the car, on the licence plate it says "san andreas" so yes

[Nelsta]

Just hope there's actully things to do outside of the main story and the freinds thing has been vastly improved!

Having reading hundreds of pages of analysis on GTAF, strong feelings include

It has dogs.

Release date 24/05 (multiple in-trailer hints)

Somebody mentioned dogs

Feature wise, it looks closest to the GTA:SA engine (so bikes, planes, swimming, Jet Skis, parachutes, character customisation all the fun stuff they lost in IV).

Even though the trailer only showed LS (and mount Chilliad), there are brief signs etc pointing to Las Palmas (Palm Springs ?) and San Fiero (San Fran) as well as possibly one shot of the desert and Luxor (LV).Note the 1st GTA:SA trailer didn't show SF or LV either.

There was a dog on the beach

Seemingly more intelligent cops (could be a cut scene), maybe police dogs.

Probably multiple protagonists

Possibly returning characters (one may be a dog)

Possibly Bill Paxton as one of them (maybe he's playing a dog ?).

Trucks with Trailers

Weapon Customization

Property Purchasing (only it's a cut scene of somebody placing a FOR SALE board outside 2405).

I think somebody mentioned a dog, possibly more than once.

So, I'm expecting GTA:SA but looking stunning, with dogs.

[Biddy]

I need to watch the trailer again as I didn't notice any dogs. Some people seem to be mentioning there are some!

[Josh]

the graphics look immense

[Mc Love]

Does anybody know if there are dogs in it?

[Hughesy]

From what iv read so far, nothing seems to different. Really wish they would add some new cool features, maybe allow you to set up businesses etc to make you cash.

That was just a teaser trailer, no features or anything about gameplay has been revealed.

[Tom]

Even though I got Bored of the last one and couldn't bring myself to complete it as long as there a radio station that plays 80s music I will buy it.

I just hope they bring the fun back but I am worried saints row 3 looks to have gone too far as they nailed the second one.

Saw this on another forum I frequent and had to change my pants after reading it:

Hi all, I am new to this forum and what I am writing here is not to spam/troll, etc. I work for a Playstation magazine in the UK ( I will not be disclosing any further details....) and a select few of our team have seen via video links with Rockstar in Scotland 30 minutes of in-game footage. I have not, personally, been privy to this unfortunately but I will relay to you what I have heard so far and I promise you that none of this is BS but that is down to the lot of you fans to judge. Ok, here goes:

1: The game world is absolutely massive and will push both xbox and PS3 to the very limit in terms of what it has accomplished. Yes, the main city is simply Los Santos however is it AT LEAST 4 times bigger than Liberty City in GTA 4 and that is just Los Santos. The surrounding country side, beaches, etc are massive. For instance, we saw the main character ( an African/American, early 30's) travel by car from the center of Los Santos into the wildnerness and it took over 15 minutes. The views were incredible from farmhouses with cattle, huge wind farms, an oil refinery which appeared to be living and breathing with nearly 100 NPCs working on machinery, operating vehicles, lifting and loaded, etc, unlike the gas works in GTA 4 which seemed to only house a few NPC at a time. The forests are more beautiful than those in RDR and featured people camping, young NPC drinking and dancing around campfires, people riding dirt bikes and jumping over logs, streams, etc. The water effects, forna, plants, trees all looked beautiful.

2: The shooting mechanics have been greatly improved with animations for diving, climbing, rolling and crawling all added for better realism. The re-loading animations for new ammo also look cooler, less static.

3: There is much more climbable elements in the world such as ladders, overhand climbing, etc.

4: There are animals in the game from dogs to cattle but at this time it is not confirmed if you will be able to harm the animals. Rockstar were able to get away with it in RDR as it was a true depiction of the world in which the game was set. Allowing dogs/cattle to die in a game sent in current times may cause headaches with PETA. Its unclear if Rockstar were joking here.

5: There are planes to pilot and they can be crashed into buildings if you choose to do so....

6: Rockstar have included many, many more interior locations such as a shopping mall, college campus, police station, a huge hospital and there is also a vast underground sewer network which one mission later in the game involves a jet ski chase that culminates in a Fugitive-esque waterfall jump ( there are nods to the ridiculous but awesome Ballad Of Gay Tony missions)

7: The city is full of NPCs jogging, weight-lifting, hitting on women, being chased on foot by cops, shopping, washing cars, fixing fences, moving home, filling up their cars, etc.

REAL JUICY INFO:

1: Cars can be upgraded/repaired and it has been considered to have a car have fuel forcing the player to fill her up.

2: The dating aspect of the game is gone. You still have a cell-phone but only people you will meet in the game will call you to ask you to do a mission or to ask you to do something else before the mission.

3: Weapons include the usual arsenal you'd aspect but the flamethrowers, remote mines, laxer trip mines and claymores are included. It is possible now to pick up random objects in a street/buidling to use as a weapon. There is also a museam where it is possible to steal old age swords, axes, etc.

4: it is possible to rupture a fuel line and if you shot at the trail of gasoline it will lead straight back to the car blowing it up.

5: mini games such as bowling, darts, etc have all gone. You can play basketball, weight train, arm wrestle, gamble and cage fight, enter triatholons, water races, cannoing, ab-saling, rock climbing, base jumping, ski diving. More to be confirmed.

6: Character customisation is back but only in terms of clothing, body weight, etc. The player you start off which, much like CJ, can't be altered by race, age, height, etc.

7: Rockstar said burglary missions may return but only as part of missions and not on neigbourhood houses.

8: No children NPC at all. Ever.

9: There is now an ability to grab people and use as sheilds or in "hostage" situations.

10: The cops are much, much, much more realistic. If you kill somebody when you know there are no cops around you will not run the risk of a one star as often as you would in GTA4. The cops will use smoke and tear gas, dogs, riot gear and rams to knock down the doors of buildings you are hiding in.

11: You can enter some buildings and lock doors, push objects in the way to barricade.

12: You become better at things as the game progresses. If you only ride motorbikes then you will increase your skills, same as individual weapons.

13: Certain weapons can be customisable and some even home-made.

14: One mission involves breaking out a very familiar GTA icon from a previous game...

15: Torrential rain fall and sunshine and even tremors will appear in the game.

[Tom]

That sounds amazing but I have some doubts.

Mainly with the amount of things he says to have seen in 30 mins with 15 of it taken with one drive.

Hope it's true though.

RDR is by far my favourite open world game and probably game full stop so if it can get close to that I'm happy. I just hope there will be another RDR nextgen.

[Mc Love]

[Glenn]

That's class. Some people have waaaay to much time on their hands.

[Mayfield]

Can anyone shed any light on whether this is going to be download only via Xbox Market Place? As when I complete games I like to trade them in for something else so this wouldn't appeal to me personally.

Please be Nico! he did say at the end of GTA IV that he might go to San Andreas doesn't he?
