I guess IGN only gets taken seriously when they have exclusive previews of games we are anticipating.

Next gen starts whens Rockstar says it does.
Excited, but mum at this point without a pc release..... preordered on ps3, but after my first 15 hours of saints row iv on pc, I wonder how they can match the framerate/graphics of a good pc...... it's a dick move by Rockstar on their hardcore fans..... they know those like myself, will purchase on 360/ps3 then double dip on pc..... almost like george lucas.

I don't see them going with the approach they did with San Andreas to IV. (Taking out all the cool and fun shit.) Especially since the game is on the same console.

Since GTAIII, the PC version has been released ~8 - 10 months after the console release for every GTA game. If it's a dick move on their hardcore fans, well, they've been doing it this way for 12-years...

I hope the game comes close to Max Payne 3 and RDR, graphics wise. GTA IV hasn't aged very well and those shots are so good, that I may be disappointed because I expect too much.

IGN is now relevant... at least for this week.

Only reason I would see them taking out the deformation is that it may have been taxing on the system/engine. It just worries me that they haven't shown any real car crashes, raw gameplay or even deformed cars at all.

From trailers and the gameplay videos the framerate looks solid. I think even one of the GTA IV trailers displayed some framerate dips in one sequence. This looks great so far. I just hope the city area (at least downtown) is correctly populated and dense.
This German site said no stuttering in 3 hours of play, think that's it though.
Doesn't mean anything if its sub 30 all the time

10/10 confirmed. So good.

I'm hoping that the GTAOnline hands on has more details and meat than this hands-on. A hands on that basically serves as a fancily worded mission walk through does nothing for me.
GTAIV's mission walkthroughs sounded awesome until you realized that they were very isolated missions that were not par for the course. The one they all focused on was the mission where you had to go online, set up an interview with a law firm, get a phone call, go to the interview, choose how to kill the interviewer, and then either sneak out the window, or rush out guns blazing. Out of all of the missions in the game, it was the only mission that gave you a choice with consequences on how to handle the bad guy in it.
So... I'm really not into the mission walk throughs for single player. Especially when they are glorified in such a way to make you think that this is par for the course, one mission out of many.
Although GTA Online missions are probably a little less scripted because of the nature of online, so I am interested in seeing how complex they can get.
Nah, these aren't really previews that are going into the tech or the engine, but more or less mission walk throughs. The German preview said that they were seeing the 360 version of the game and it ran without stuttering, but they mentioned this in passing, so I wouldn't take it as a definitive yay/nay on framerate. I'm wagering it's closer to RDR, which ran very well except for in a few note worthy areas like Tall Trees or when there was a lot of fire/smoke.

Wait, wait, wait... you can sneak out the window in that mission? I've been learning quite a few things about GTA4 this last week.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh shit, I clicked.
I pretty much never, ever, ever care about eating up some click bait, but the fact that I don't even have to read a word to know that it's going to be some of the most serious Rockstar fellatio ever published makes me wish I passed on this one.
I just want to know how much they paid for the privilege to regurgitate Rockstar PR.

That was pretty much my strategy when doing that mission. I always shot out the window, jumped down, then jacked a car and escaped.

Rockstar has done the same thing ever since GTA III. Be happy that we even got a gameplay trailer. They just started doing those with Red Dead

Crazy. I may need to play some of the GTA4 missions again and try to play them more creatively.
I certainly don't. I was laughing half the time I read the article. That entire effusive ending part about "I suspect next-gen starts when GTAV says it does", I couldn't stop rolling my eyes. I wonder what score IGN will stick on this bad boy? Does it get higher than a 10?
And his little description at the start that's supposed to make me feel like GTAV is special? I can do that last minute past a car shit in every open world game on Earth, what element of that experience was unique to GTA or any open world game frankly?
I mean there are details within it that, I mean, I guess are informative, but it was a painful read, start to finish.
Edit: Before the complainers come, I am ridiculously excited about GTAV.

I came.
Nah, you're not really off base here. I'm a massive GTA fan, and even I can see this was a meaningless fluff piece.
I'm just in it for the details. I did like hearing about these missions. I like that they seem to have more multi-faceted ones than IV, involving different types of vehicles and whatnot.
Will not look like that on your TV
horrible framerate, dithering and jaggies will be there guaranteed.
Rockstar must have a only touched up screens in photo mode policy.
Realistically this will look worst than Max Payne 3, that game took RAGE to the limit
this game looks like 10 steps behind MP3 characters design.

I'm more excited for GTA V than I have been for any game in recent memory. But this article is hyperbolic wank.

IGN has become overzealous in giving love for the game and fail to deliver a hands-on which does not made it seem that they got a bucket load of gifts from Rockstar, including a blank cheque.
They are deprived from any type of love for gaming in general and this has been the case over the course of years. You can not expect any amount of respect from gamers in general if you are getting overhyped like a kid in a colorful candy shop like it is their first visit, but instead they have been in countless of others.
A 10/10 from IGN is like a car brand promoting their new car. You love the details and spec sheet, but know in the back of your mind that you are better off waiting on customer opinions before you purchase it.

No Emmy? No buy.
Problem is, we already had the Citizen Kane of gaming this year. Not much left in terms of hyperbole.

Don't bother. Seriously the only mission that gives you the option.
