If you can't handle someone's differing opinion about a videogame, I worry for you.
Ignore them and move on. Sage advice.

It's not just on here, I barely know anyone who wasn't disappointed with IV. But let's not continue shitting up this thread with IV arguments.

I love the hate towards GTA and the misunderstanding of how complex the graphical engine is.

Juuuuust like a PS2 game! Seriously, I'm more hyped for this game than Borderlands 2 now and that's saying something.
Rygar 8 Bit
Jaguar 64-bit
and it's San Andreas on PC.
I can't play SA on ps2 animore: low def, fog everywhere. Will be the same for GTA IV vanilla on ps360 in few years.
GTA: SA 2 confirmed!
Nice now I really cant wait for GTA5

I never thought of these comparisons. That's awesome.
I may be too optimistic and letting myself down but I really hope it comes out later this year

Oh sweet jeebus. I can't wait.
Ps2 graphics indeed.
Remember also that GTA:SA broke several Ps2, because it didn't had loading screens and the lens was constantly under pressure to stream data in.

why would the PR ramp up after the game came out?
Yeah, the game is going to be killer. 'Nuff said.
People raged about playing a black character? Oo
Next you will be saying we could have an Asian main character in an open world game.
That would be wei weird.

I've never played more than the first mission in SA. I think I'm gonna go for a play through. Gonna get the mac version and use the PS3 controller. Gonna be awesome!!
Are you kidding me? If you go to San Andreas youtube video pages, you'll STILL see it. Also Chuck Taylor CJ mod
It's a middle aged white guy isn't it?
They didn't rage because that would be openly racist
But they found it very hard to relate to an urban character who liked rap
A cocaine addled disgraced mobster sent to Miami in exile on the other hand they found easy to relate to
No I'm not kidding you. At the time the game came out I talked with a lot of friends and in many boards about it and never encountered someone bothering about playing CJ.
It's also easier to relate to space marines or outright aliens Gods, don't forget!
Anyway in my personal experience, i remember most of the kids were hostile to any new GTA protagonist, always asking "why can't we have *previous GTA character* instead?!" only to repeat the same process for the GTA after that one.
I remember when GTASA came out, many bitched because they wanted to use Tommy instead of CJ, yet when GTA4 came out, people were demanding to use CJ instead of Niko.. sure enough now i've read a lot of people wanting to use Niko in GTA5.
I guess after several hours of play time, hardcore fans get seriously attached to the protagonist.

It was much worse at Gamefaqs, but you even saw some of it here. This was one of the more well known posts about it
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=820
It's worth pointing out that San Andreas would go on to be the best selling game of last gen.
I'm kind of surprised GTA never did one, tbh. There was the guy in Chinatown Wars, but I was sure they would do Asian by now. They've done Italian(twice), a Mute, African American(twice), Jewish, Puerto Rican, and more. I don't know if they'd be willing to do female because of the majority of their demographic(though I could see a female lead in DLC).
I'd like to see someone from the Caribbean also. Badman was my favorite GTA 4 character.
Oh my god that's awful :lol
Gah! Amazing post! I really wanted that comparison- and it indeed does look like a nice evolution of San Andreas. I've been playing SA with the Rage mod, and it is pretty neat although crashes frequently. The Leisure screens look so awesome!
But thanks for the side by side shots!
Los Santos is inspired in Los Angeles,and you know already the high weight of the black culture in Los Angeles. I will be surprised if we don´t have a black character.
You know,GTA V, V different characters.
Yeah. that middle aged white Ned Luke guy is in the Jet cockpit, yet the dude with the parachute looks like he's black (or at least Latino).
Now, the one on the bike and the two tennis players could very well be npcs, but i doubt there will be NPCs parachuting there, dressed like that, so it has to be a playable character.
Could be multiplayer, but i'm ready to bet on multiple characters too.

I remember I was at Gamefaqs back then around the release of the game.
It was bad. Probably one of the reasons I stopped fucking with Gamefaqs.

Yeah, yeah it broke my PS2... =(
Haven't played FFX since it happened (back in like 2007?). Still never completed FFX-2
Ahah holy shit that post is a trainwreck.
Even putting the racial idiocy aside, "the lustre on violent games is wearing out" and "This game won't sell that well".
Yeah right.
I don't know, but Sleeping Dogs spoiled me, ton of good stuff in that one.
GTA4 was very lacking in customization (and the expansions were worse, in this regard).
RDR was also not amazing with only premade complete outfits.
I think they could have, say, 3 characters each with his/her wardrobe of selected clothing, so that you have customization options but keep a certain grounded feeling and consistency with the character (so the middle aged white dude will not wear a hoodie with a skull on it and viceversa).
I honestly hope that Rockstar stays away from ridiculous customizations with GTA V.
I actually had a thought earlier today that it would be interesting if the characters had significant age gaps. This older guy, a younger man in his mid/late twenties maybe (a more common criminal archetype) and possibly a teenager (set the plot during summer and school is eliminated). Off that theory, I'd say outfits would be character specific. Not to mention the characters will undoubtedly come from different backgrounds and probably all be a different race.
This, all assuming the game does indeed have multiple protagonists. (I'm betting three guys.)
..Right, changing clothes and hairstyle is ridiculous? I'm not expecting fat/slim either, but for example CJ's hair styles were all believable for the caharcter, so were the clothes.
GTAIV simply had a very limited selection.
Moreover, if they won't let me use that gym on the beach, seen in the trailer, i'll be mad.

San Andreas vibes...luv it.
I never said it was ridiculous; just don't enjoy making the character look different than what they are.

As much as I love Nintendo... I think this past E3 is all you need to see to be concerned about 3rd party support. Supposedly we haven't seen 2013 games, or a couple of launch window titles.
But from what we have seen? I expect to get ports where logical. Not much more than. Kind of like a Wii situation, but not exactly the same because of the similarity of hardware in WiiU and Orbis/Durango. Should make porting easier, but it's still far from a guarantee.
At this point I'd be very shocked to see WiiU get GTAV. Even though big name series are some of the few you can be guaranteed to see success with on Wii.

Surely it doesn't matter if you don't like it? If you don't like customizing your character, then don't.
I can't imagine them not taking advantage of that weather tech.
