[Hey You]

That sounds pretty cool, but yeah I agree on the speeding issue. If they are going to implement that, let us be able to skip stuff like driving to a mission start and other driving events that are pointless then it will be a bit better.

 

[MMaRsu]

Lol since when do r* ever give a playablr demo at e3.

Also r* protagonists never do drugs or drink anymore. I dont think I ever saw Cj, john marston or niko drink or smoke. I would take that list with a HUGE salty ball

 

[TheNatural]

I like everything in that info except for getting a star for speeding.

Sounds like its more about once you get a star,they won't chase you unless you speed, not you get a star for speeding.

 

[rouken]

11. Police cars will go after you if you're obviousely breaking the speed limit. Having high speed crashes will also damage your health.

that's some mafia 1 shit right there. hope it isn't true

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

3. The game is due in May 2013. A more specific date has not been decided because the game is still needing 6 months to be fully developed. They will have a playable demo at E3.

And this leak is fake. No way in hell Rockstar ever demoes GTA at E3.

Getting Niko hammered was a key part of the 'friends' experience within GTA4.

 

[Data West]

Whenever these lists show up, there's always something completely dumb that makes it all sound like BS(as they've been proven wrong in the past)

the speed limit thing is like the gas rumor in previous GTAs. Never gonna happen.

 

[abundant]

And this leak is fake. No way in hell Rockstar ever demoes GTA at E3.

I agree, it's fake. Rockstar hasn't been to a big games convention in over a decade. They show stuff on their own time.

 

[Marleyman]

It's a poor game with high production values.

Reasoning:

- Terrible cover system
- Last gen checkpoint/save system
- Cars/bikes handle poorly
- Tedious map traversal
- Tedious accrual of weaponry
- Map terrain too congested
- Map terrain not varied enough

If anyone would like to refute the above claims, have at it.

Cover system was solid considering it was the first GTA game to have one. They improved on the engine with RDR and I am sure will improve with GTA5.

Checkpoint/save system never bothered me at all.

Cars handled poorly? Nonsense. I mastered driving those vehicles in that game; tough to master and learn but well worth it. Best driving in an open world game easily for me.

Eh, map traversal wasn't an issue.

Weapon accrual was tedious? What did you want?

Map terrain too congested? It is fucking New York City!

Your claims, to be totally honest, are not even the ones I would go with and I fucking love GTA 4.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Getting Niko hammered was a key part of the 'friends' experience within GTA4.

Trying to hail a cab as drunk Niko was awesome. "Yellow car! Mr. Man!"

And my John Marston was a regular at the bar.

Rockstar having a playable demo at E3 and the speeding thing are what makes this list scream bullshit.

 

[bryanee]

Hopes theres no Tap A to run fast crap.

 

[Fjordson]

Ah, I missed the E3 demo bit. Calling BS.

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

No, you're buying a Grand Theft Auto game. Driving in GTAIV is the best driving in any open world game, it's only annoying because you think you're in a fancy-looking go kart. Step back and take your time, you'll realise it's the future.

a boring ass future, if I wanted gran turismo id rather just fall asleep.

Niko and John could get drunk.

 

[UrbanRats]

It's very very arcade-y, nothing close to Gran Turismo.
Only it has a bit more flavor than the old "always steer at 90°" GTA's driving physics.

 

[Smash88]

Apparently also through that leak.

Bully 2 is going underdevelopment when Max Payne 3 comes out.

 

[MMaRsu]

Yeah but you never actually SEE any of them drink.

Not through that leak at all, the head of r* gave an interview last week.

You never got drunk as John or Niko? There are bars/saloons you get drunk at.

Man you missed out on a lot.

Also John smoked a lot in cutscenes in RDR.

You are fairly misinformed here.

Yeah but you never actually SEE any of them drink.

You walk up to the bar in RDR, order a shot of whiskey and John knocks it back. You can have more an more until you can't stand anymore. You most certainly see them drink.

 

[daviyoung]

Isn't there a mission in GTA IV where Niko's driving drunk?

 

[Digishine]

well if it's legit I'll buy it then

 

[Buckethead]

The drunk mechanics in GTA IV were awful.

I really was hoping it'd be hilarious fun but that probably would piss off MADD and all those other organizations.

Drunk driving in games = fun.

Drunk driving IRL = scumbag move.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Yeah its their April fools joke of this year:

Despite taking center stage on Chief Magazine’s next cover, the publication won’t be featuring any new details about Grand Theft Auto V. Rockstar has confirmed that the publication doesn’t have an exclusive scoop, so we probably won’t be receiving any new information, let alone screenshots.

The wait continues!

Also in The Ballad of Gay Tony, Louis can drink shots at the bar until he's chopped and partake in champagne drinking contests in the VIP area. And in GTAIV and San Andreas you get stoned while Niko is hotboxed with Jacob in the car and while CJ is burning down the Truth's farm.

 

[Deleted member 13876]

Yeah its their April fools joke of this year:

Can't see it being an April Fools joke as that would be shooting themselves in the foot more than anything else. Pretty sure that's the actual cover, but it'll only have some summarized info of what we know so far as speculated before.

GameStop doesn’t expect Grand Theft Auto V to launch this year.

Yeah, I feel like things continue to fall into place for a 2013 release...

[thelurkinghorror]

There's no news in the magazine because R* will start spreading the GTAV verb after Max Payne is shipped to your local store. This is a FACT, not guessing.

From what I know they assemble a cover with the logo and summ up in the article all the information you can gain from the first video. That's all.

 

[Buckethead]

What a douche magazine.

This is guessing, not a fact. ( Good guessing though, but still )

its more of a duh than a ow really.

First real cover will be later in the year with a 99% chance its Game Informer.

 

[DarkChild]

From gtanet.com

Tomorrow = Chief 056 = First GTA V-cover in the world! American forums say it's an April Fools stunt... Be sure to check for yourself tomorrow!

https://twitter.com/#!/ChiefRedactie/status/178026141381165056

March 9, they tweeted something like this (I translated it): "Today we're making what very well may be the most groundbreaking cover in the history of Chief."

Could be legit?

 

[Digishine]

well tomorrow I will check it in the store if it's new info I'll buy it

Hmmm... could it be...? Please be!

There is also this tweet from Andrew_Reiner that got me thinking recently..

 

[Blue Ninja]

I'll check to see if I can find it anywhere tomorrow.

How is it a fact? Do you have some inside info or something?

 

[ShotSkydiver]

I have an insider tip that says the "groundbreaking cover" coming tomorrow is actually.... Rockstar Table Tennis 2.


You heard here first.

I wish, the 1st one was awesome.

 

[Digishine]

Bully 2

 

[Dabanton]

Yeah i think they're waiting until Max Payne 3 is properly launched before bringing up GTAV again. I mean they surprised everybody with that GTAV teaser trailer no one (except R* obviously) knew that was coming.

So i'm hoping they pull they same stunt with a release date for this later this year.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

My hopes for 2012 release are dimming, GTA5 feels more and more like Spring 2013.

 

[IC_Champion]

if i wanted a racing sim, i'd buy a racing sim.

but I'm buying a crime drama game... driving should be easy or have the option to be easy.

controlling a horse in RDR isn't a fucking chore.

I agree with you on the driving. Trying to drive the higher end sports cars and motorcycles was a challenge for me. The controls for those types of vehicles were very sensitive.

 

[GlamFM]

"Along with the spring there is also a new Chief in the country! And what a! Chief 056 contains the world's first cover story on the ultimate Topgame Grand Theft Auto V. Our most experienced game journalist did some research and wrote on the basis of all possible clues and hidden information about this title was released the ultimate preview of what is probably the most important release of 2013 will be."

YES.

I don't care about GTA at all, but I would buy another Bully.

Lol, expected though.

Naturally. Rockstar owns the spring release window.

Well shit, not bothering to go pick it up then.

 

[Auto_aim1]

Plenty of people expected this. Dutch magazine exclusivity for a massive game like GTA V just didn't make sense.
