[QUOTE=Slater;32958286]I'm sure they will make it fun. L.A just strikes me as a bit of a 'boring city'. If you compared it to New York like GTA IV, there's a lot of landmarks and such.
It's a shame Driver just took San Fransisco, that could have been done well by Rockstar.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=spekter;32958319]If they wanted to do San Fran they would, just because Driver did it is no reason to avoid it.[/QUOTE]

I'm talking about now, I know they did.
GTA V? BOUT FUCKING TIME! :D Been waiting for this one for awhile.
[QUOTE=Slater;32958348]Yes it is. It would be highly criticised as a 'similar game'. Significantly reducing sales.[/QUOTE]
Driver: San Fran is a stunt driving/racing game, GTA is open-world sandbox. Totally different, if anyone thought they were similar purely because of location they would be complete morons.

Why are you overestimating the intelligence of the general public?
Edit:
And the media, for that matter. If there's room to slate something for sales, they'll do it.
[QUOTE=Slater;32958398]Why are you overestimating the intelligence of the general public?[/QUOTE]
The "general public" function off of reviewers and game news sites. These sites would not compare the two games purely off location, rather if they were the same genre etc.

They can't compare it to Driver purely off location. Since its not actually going to take place in San Fran we'll never see the outcome anyway.

That's a broad statement. The vast majority run from publicity drawn from TV adverts. Your average viewer will put 2 and 2 together to make 4.
Edit:
But yeah. It wont be done in San Fransisco.

Unless they did it in the same style, same time with similar characters etc it wouldn't work. If they did a gritty as hell version of San Fran, it wouldn't be comparable in the slightest. Its more about atmosphere than anything.
It turns out that all our speculation is wrong and Rockstar just did this to fuck with us.

In DRIV3R, you kill Timmy Vermicelli's which look like Tommy Vercetti with water wings. :v:

And then in GTA SA, a security guard says "Tanner, you suck!" while playing a game.

I remember the Vermicelli's I spent ages finding those fuckers.
I hope it's not SA styled. Hell, I don't even want it in that city. If they're going to recycle any of the old places, let it be vc.

Too bad Driv3r sucked overall
Though it had nice graphics for the time

Decent story and atmosphere but the on-foot sections killed it quite a bit.
[QUOTE=Broseph_;32958696]Too bad Driv3r sucked overall
Though it had nice graphics for the time[/QUOTE]I thought it was ok at the time, but its FAR inferior to GTA.
But I could tell the game was a bit rushed in some areas or it looked like they wanted some features, but never got around to it.
Actually, what's still amusing is going on a drawbridge in the game, and making it rise up when people are still on it ala Maximum Overdrive style. CARS FLIPPED EVERYWHERE.
I hold hope that no matter how Rockstar approaches this new GTA, it'll be epic.
Also a random idea to throw out. Why not make the install feature better for consoles by including the base game on one disc, and two or so discs for much more music, or taking the ability for the PC version to play user added music, because GTA is better with the Misfits.
I hope there is another video editor thing in this.
I also hope consoles get a video editor too, but that's just my cheap self being optimistic.
I hope there's no regenerating health.
we need ricky gervias in it to make another cameo
Oh, i forgot.
The new face animation system that LA noire has will probably be in gta5 as well.
Freaking AWESOME.

I highly doubt it.
[QUOTE=Jelly;32955502]Hopefully the PC version isn't some shoddy unoptimised console port.[/QUOTE]
i just hope it to actually comes out to pc...

Him or Stephen Fry.
Should play a shotgun wielding librarian

I would pay for DLC just based around Stephen Fry being a shotgun wielding librarian.

I'd buy a limited edition for an extra £200 if it were just a figurine of him holding a shotgun dressed as a librarian
I plan on getting the GTA complete pack on steam this december.
I'd like an UK setting, but honestly I know that any setting will be awesome.
[QUOTE=JumJum;32959806]I plan on getting the GTA complete pack on steam this december.[/QUOTE]
Why not get it now it's about £5
This will be awesome
The only shitty game Rockstar has ever made was GTA Advance
I love the physics of GTAIV, but I love the levels of SA and VC. Idc where they put it.. I'm just excited they are finally making a new one.
