[QUOTE=RikohZX;40505757]What. But in all seriousness, now you can [i]apparently[/i] play GTA5 kinda Max Payne-style with Michael, allegedly, since his special ability involves a bullet time-esque feature.[/QUOTE] I wonder if he has shootdodge as well. That'd just seal the deal. But, he is a middle aged fat man. Then again so was Max. In 3 anyway.
[QUOTE=Wormy;40504422]I have never been this excited for a video game in a long time.[/QUOTE] Last time I was this excited, well not nearly as much, but really excited at least was Dead Island. Turned out great.
ECOSYSTEMS CONFIRMED YESSSS [editline]2nd May 2013[/editline] i loved GTAIV and red dead so this game is probably gonna kill me. i just wish it could've been on PS4
[QUOTE=Consie O'Brien;40506202]I really want realistic police/ambulance lights. ELS mod for GTA IV is great. If that style lighting is incorporated, I'll be happy.[/QUOTE] It'd be nice if the cops could actually keep up competently. It's WAY too easy to shake them in IV.
[QUOTE=Consie O'Brien;40506202]I really want realistic police/ambulance lights. ELS mod for GTA IV is great. If that style lighting is incorporated, I'll be happy.[/QUOTE] It is, all of the police cars use LCD bars now and there's no more shitty 'blot' lighting like in IV and every game before it.
holy shit adam sessler is old

Rockstar is never the developer to release a game at the launch window of a new console. They always take the time to make a great game with the hardware which usually takes a while considering they make HUGE open world games. GTA IV came out in 2008 while the 360/PS3 came out in 2005/2006 (respectively). Rockstar will always take a year or two to make a game for a new console. They always seem to push the tech to its limits. I see GTA V to GTA IV as what San Andreas was to GTA III, the last GTA on that platform pushing the consoles to their limits. Realistically, we probably won't see another Rockstar title for maybe 2 years considering GTA V comes out at the very end of a console cycle. Maybe not 2 years if they already have a new IP [B](IM LOOKING AT YOU [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agent_(video_game)"]AGENT![/URL])[/B] in the works. Fingers crossed for a new entry in the Red Dead series. Edit: [quote]When asked if [I]Agent was still a PlayStation 3 title after the press conference of the PlayStation 4 reveal during a roundtable media session, Sony Worldwide Studios boss [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuhei_Yoshida"]Shuhei Yoshida[/URL] said "You are asking the wrong person. I have some knowledge, but I'm not in a position to talk about it."[/quote] SOMEONE HAS THESE ANSWERS![/I]
But the biggest question is left. If I shoot the moon with a sniper rifle, will it grow???
[QUOTE=booster;40506658]But the biggest question is left. If I shoot the moon with a sniper rifle, will it grow???[/QUOTE] That would be icing on the cake right there.
Looks like could just pretend that 4 didn't exist. This is the Current Gen GTA I wished for after SA.
[QUOTE=alien_guy;40505188] really old images [I]-Screens from the rockstar website[/I] It just doesn't look 'good', archaic hardware has an effect on visuals. [editline]when[/editline] I should probably stress that I support the notion that graphics are not more important than gameplay, hell fallout looks like shit but I still played the fuck out of that. I just don't understand the weird denial people have about how bad the game looks in some of the screens.[/QUOTE] it's funny how you tried to argue your point by showing old screenshots the screenshots you replied to were just taken today, and they look tons better then those old ones. [i]that's why they delayed it[/i]
[QUOTE=endorphinsam;40506990]it's funny how you tried to argue your point by showing old screenshots the screenshots you replied to were just taken today, and they look tons better then those old ones. [i]that's why they delayed it[/i][/QUOTE] Thinking about how the entire San Andreas is behind that little window that is a screenshot, these look really good.
I'm loving how they actually got our license plates correct as a minor detail. It seems that most games can't recreate correct plates for areas these days.
See, the best part about the screenshots is that Rockstar has specifically said that most, if not all, are taken on the current gen consoles. And they looks pretty damn good. Not perfect, but still really good, especially when compared with GTA IV on the same consoles. It only stands to get better if it comes out on PC as well.
[QUOTE=PowerBall v1;40504631]And we all know how that turned out. Seriously though, this looks great.[/QUOTE] A great sequel that upped pretty much every single aspect of the original and was quite a financial and critical success? Why i'd hope GTA5 ends up like that. No but seriously before you rate me dumb, how about you explain your point there, otherwise it makes you look kinda dumb.
Watching Sessler, a man whose opinions about game designs I greatly respect, compare GTA V to Red Dead Redemption more than GTA IV is interesting. This is a very good thing as far as I'm concerned, because Red Dead Redemption was one of the finest video games I have ever played and GTA IV was one of the worst games I've ever played. This is the first hopeful thing I've seen about the game. [editline]2nd May 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=legolover122;40505228]What happened to "graphics don't matter only gameplay"?

The game has visually improved since then, even on the terrible hardware they are working on. If this game looks this good on the current gen platform it's going to look fucking beautiful on the PC.

[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;40508683]GTA IV was one of the worst games I've ever played.[/QUOTE] i'm really curious why you feel this way
GTA 5 is probably going to look and run the worst on the 360, calling it now. Which blows for me because that's the platform I'm getting it on :/
[QUOTE=Killer900;40509249]GTA 5 is probably going to look and run the worst on the 360, calling it now. Which blows for me because that's the platform I'm getting it on :/[/QUOTE] What are you basing that on?
[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;40508683] incredible its like you guys didnt read his post at all[/QUOTE] Incredible its like you didn't see he edited his post after I responded to the original
[QUOTE=AaronM202;40509296]What are you basing that on?[/QUOTE]The fact that both press demos were done on the PS3, and the fact that Rockstar's gotten significantly better with working with the PS3 and becoming familiar with it's architecture. But I could be entirely (and hopefully) very wrong of course.
I don't know which platform I want to get it on but probably PS3 so I don't have to pay for live.
[QUOTE=Lord of Ears;40509204]i'm really curious why you feel this way[/QUOTE] Robert Brockway sums it up: [quote]I have some conflicting opinions about GTA IV: I think everybody should own it, because what Rockstar accomplished with the living, breathing city they built is a feat that transcends gaming and ventures into science fiction territory. It's just too bad they layered an irreparably broken game on top of it. The controls were awful, the missions were lifeless and repetitive, and they generally seemed to lack any kind of creativity or imagination with which to fill their staggering technical achievement.[/quote]
[QUOTE=Raidyr;40509342]I don't know which platform I want to get it on but probably PS3 [B]so I don't have to pay for live.[/B][/QUOTE]This too, my Xbox Live ran out last month, so in addition to having to pay $60 for GTA 5 (which I'm fine with because it's going to be phenomenal), I'll have to shell out between $20-$50 for Live. It's bullshit.
[QUOTE=legolover122;40509310]Incredible its like you didn't see he edited his post after I responded to the original[/QUOTE] The post times have precision up to an hour, I had no way of actually knowing that. I actually went to check for this, and all of the times were at 4 hours ago when I made that post. Sorry.

[editline]2nd May 2013[/editline] Because i havent heard of any xbox related things about them.
It'd be batshit insane, but imagine if Rockstar kept in the horse riding from RDR. Steal a horse, get in a chase, re-enact this scene: [video=youtube;NPzS85LS8kg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPzS85LS8kg[/video]
