[QUOTE=Nerbil;33119525]The GTA 3 map looked very different to VC/SA and GTA IV looked radically different to all others.[/QUOTE]
I mean the actual picture map, that hasn't changed much in style, only the way they were colored changed. None of the maps ever had any text on top of them either.
[QUOTE=Fingers!!!;33119515]I kinda agree with you, but what if they kept the main landmarks? They seem to be doing that, like the hotel, the "mile high" building, so it seems that there's more stuff between the landmarks, I'ld be okay with that. What I'm worrried about is how they're going to block your access to SF, LV etc.[/QUOTE]
I'm gonna guess the same exact way they blocked access in all GTA games:
insurmountable waist high roadblocks because of storms and terrorists.
not sure how they'd handle it with planes though.

Maybe exactly how they did in SA? If you fly over the roadblock you get an instant 6 star wanted level.

Well vinewood was never that big and now there's an extra mountain region to the north-west. Majority of south Los Santos seems generally the same but the north is just bulked out way more.

Or some BS like a quake destroyed it all or maybe flooding fucked it all up.
Just take a closer look at the map, most of the outlines look like they were made using a brush tool or eraser in photoshop. The guy probably just took a satellite map of LA, sloppily erased some area around it, scribbled some lines on top, wrote some text on it and took a photo of his monitor.

Could be in the manual or the map they include with the game like they did with RDR.

I'm pretty sure that wouldn't look like it was made in photoshop in 5 minutes.
speedophile lol
Oh man the Blista compact must come back I just love it hnng
leaked info, again (of course it must be fake, anyway, here it is)
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.
[QUOTE=falcont2t;33120112]-wall of text-[/QUOTE]
It's already posted. Someone pointed out the contradiction of it saying it has police dogs yet rockstar are un-sure if you can kill animals or not yet. And as I said, if we don't see ANY info this year about GTAV then this set is bullshit. They wouldn't show a preview to press then just leave it.
[QUOTE=Atlascore;33120177]Dude game companies do that all the time, games have been shown behind closed doors to press for years, they do it the most at E3, Bethesda did it with Skyrim.
Most likely what'll happen is GTA V info will be in next month's issue of gaming magazines.[/QUOTE]
No what I mean is if we don't see any more info this year then that info must be bullshit. They wouldn't show closed-doors footage then not have the mags publish it until the year after.
[QUOTE=Atlascore;33120232]Dude the year ends in 1 and a half months.
There's still 2 magazines to be released this year too.[/QUOTE]
We'll see then but I think its a weird decision to give closed footage and not allow talks about it for a certain period of time(this is if info doesn't show this year). Heck even the Saint's guy said it was weird they decided to reveal it right now, either their marketing is dumb as fuck or they've got tricks up their sleeve.
[QUOTE=Fingers!!!;33119515]I kinda agree with you, but what if they kept the main landmarks?

In this new GTA era I'd imagine SF and LV won't be directly connected by highway like in San Andreas. The island Los Santos was on made up a third of the state of San Andreas so they could easily just say that it's miles away from the other cities in a gamey way like how Liberty City or even Vice City are supposedly major cities but are conveniently on isolated groups of islands miles away from anything else.
One thing I've always wondered is the traffic AI and the lights. Has Rockstar taken this to the next level by making the AI more realistic and added some turning lights or do they use the same AI like before?
[QUOTE=falcont2t;33120112]Wall of Info[/QUOTE]
I havent been keeping up with this thread, as it has being going simply too fast, so i get home and skip like 10 pages, but if thats true ^, that sounds so fucking good, makes me like 20x more excited
I liked the dating bit of the game. Made it seem more real.
I hope that info is true, sounds amazing!
Basically it's just the NPC actions and the RPG-like upgrading of skills that excite me so much.

I was referring to the trailer posted a few pages back with the V trailer played to Sims music. Fuck, does someone have that link? I want to rewatch it. Forgot to bookmark.
Aww, I was really looking forward to Area 69.
I wish most of the features from GTASA made a return in GTA V. Many of the smaller stuff just as the jets, jetpack, being able to train and punch people even harder made the game so much more fun than previous game.

The sims sucks though. It's all feels too "child friendly", and they cut so many corners its unbelievable. E.g. Sims magically appear in cars

What are the necessary mods please?

Really, there aren't many. There is a GTA IV thread however where you could find better help. I wouldn't get any mods on my first playthrough however. The trainers are fun and ENBseries/icenhancer has some nice graphics. That's all I use.
