i still havent played GTA IV yet. Just don't get time these days. i think the next one will be vice city.

i think the next one will be vice city.

Nope
It was also kind of a surprise for me.

Nope

**SPOILER**

What I actually meant was: I think that GTA XI will be Vice City now that GTA V is confirmed to be Los Santos.

 

[masta247]

Ah okay. That might happen. It was surprising that GTA V broke the order.
Also, looks like the engine isn't much different to the one of GTA IV. The leap from GTA 3 to GTA 4 was huge, this time it literally looks more like GTA 4: San Andreas.

 

[Pittsey]

I always buy it, and hardly play it... I may not bother this time.

 

[Preach]

definitely getting it. can't wait.

 

[S O F I]

I played GTA III on the PS2 religiously. I played San Andreas quite a bit too. But that's where it ended. I may pick up this game, though.

 

[Preach]

^^
Same. I bought four but never played past maybe 10-20 missions. Now the PS3 is broke.

Might get a slim for GTA5 though if that's what it's released on. Or maybe I get it for my awesome new PC. GTA always felt more right in Los Santos for some reason lol. San Andreas is my favorite one of all. Like an Ice Cube comedy.

Ballard of Gay Tony and Lost & Damned broke the order. I also don't think the engine is the same as GTA IV, the graphical improvement are highly noticable, and characters look alot more life like than the cartoonish GTA predecessors.

I don't even consider GTA4's DLCs as separate games. But yeah, I think the engine is just improved like GTA 3 engine was improved in GTA San Andreas but when I saw the car drifting there it looked like GTA 4 in a different city.
Also I expected much better graphics. Bear in mind that it's the first trailer, real gameplay won't be as great. And GTA 4 had low resolution textures which look very outdated now.
Anyway the leap is nowhere as huge as between GTA 3 and GTA 4. So to me GTA 5 doesn't seem to be a bigger improvement over GTA 4 than San Andreas was over GTA 3. At best it'll be similar.

I like to pretend I am Stanley Williams and recruit gullible black youth into my crew.

Only reason I played the last one was because of Niko Belic, and I felt the need to see how authentic they could make a brotha from the Balkans.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

I played San Andreas for the past month again, that game is still epic. Its also so much better than GTA IV.

There's some rumours going around about what is in the game, if its true then it should be super duper

Unless they take on more reality, which is what it seems like. Like those people sitting under that bridge. It just seems like they spend more time making the city into a believable city with real people doing real things. I remember when San Andreas had people smoking and drinking and stuff. And how real the gang fights felt when brothas was shooting up the hood around you. If they can make a big jump on that side of things with 5, I can let the graphics jump slide. I also like that it ends with an airplane flying between skyscrapers. Which I take means we get to fly again.

Verdict?

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.
