Sounds great.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Thank fucking god....

Now people can come clean about not liking the car controls since even rockstar said they needed work.

Anything can be improved. Driving in GTA 4 is still absolute bliss.

 

[bigboss370]

Statement makes no sense. They've already had white characters too.

its okay we're getting both lol.

 

[Fabrik]

The screenshots are very dodgy. The article sounds like it was written by Peter Molyneux. I'm not falling for it. Wake me up when they really talk about the actual gameplay and controls. The only serious news is the 3 characters switching mechanic which sounds really good.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Oh man, these details...

HOOK IT INTO MY VEEEEEEEEINS

 

[PetriP-TNT]

- Three protagonists
- Can change between them
- With the 360 version, you have the choice of installing all three characters or switch discs everytime you change character
- Bigger than SA and RDR combined

 

[The Jason]

Holy hell, the screens from the mag look incredible

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

I was right with the first trailer, and Im glad that is only covering the city of Los Angeles in full and its surroundings than doing three different one like San Andreas.

Cant wait to see all the inspired locales the game has from Los Angeles.

 

[Router]

Ok, I'm on the friggin hype train now!!!


Also, if be surprised if they didn't release a port for the xbox720 launch at the end of next year. I guess it depends on the costs involved.

Three discs? Shieeeeeeet!

So it's fake? Don't have the mag to verify it myself.

the fuck?

 

[Branson]

Can I buy this through the iPhone newsstand? I can't find it on there.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Now just find the old threads and quote all the posts that said that only Los Santos is playable and laugh at their face

 

[bigboss370]

the fuck?

he's high.

 

[salromano]

the fuck?

What page is that info on? I got lazy towards the last few.

That switching disc for character cannot be true.

I'm glad I have a 250GB hard drive. There will be no disc switching bull ca ca in my home.

Damn the Xbox 360 is feeling really older now with all these disc switching/installs...

Hahahaha nice

i'm gonna have to agree. alot of the article was just fluffy nothing...

the gas trail and some other things were cool, the best of it all was the zoom in for the details in the store... but then that clashed with some of the not-so-detailed screenshots.

still super excited, but article is not all that.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

This... sounds... so... awesome.

 

[maquiladora]

My favorite line I think :

"a vast city, rivers, coastline, countryside, hills, mountains, canyons, deserts, wetlands, forests, and all the little towns, farms, buildings, and settlements..."

I might just put off starting the story missions for about 100 hours while I spend time exploring and having fun in this world.

 

[BuggyDClown]

Hope they also have a next gen console release version. Would be great depending on framerate, but I'd prob rebuy the game if it's good and they re-release on next gen with full HD and great framerate.

that disc-filling-per-character-dialogue.

Get the fuck outta here? Damn. Thank god i have a PS3.

Whatever one thinks of GTA IV's driving control and physics, the notion of going back to the digital arcadey style driving of the previous games is a joke. R* are taking what they did in GTA IV and pushing it further. GTA IV's driving was a major improvement. Hearing them say that GTA V's driving is even better is music to my ears.

 

[Raptomex]

So if I install all 3 on my 360 I can play using just one disk?

 

[Mxrz]

If only it were Spring.

 

[Robot Pants]

lol at the people that believed that for more than 1 second.

 

[Reiko]

This game will give PS3 a run for it's money.

Both systems will be coughing blood.

Shit... 3 protagonists at once? This is too much.

 

[Mastperf]

Any mention on how/if they've improved melee combat?

 

[An-Det]

Goddamn all of it sounds amazing. The anticipation for the next trailer is going to be rough.

 

[Floex]

Guys seriously....

 

[NeoRausch]

hggnnn....

buying it on PS3 or wait for a (let's be honest, possible) wii u version.....

one the other hand....this is a game for a looong time. bestter start as early as possible. :3

 

[maquiladora]

"Better than we had in the past"

 

[flyinpiranha]

Thank fucking god....

There are improvements in every game. Saying you liked the driving in GTA IV even though it's improved in 5, doesn't make it bad. Improving on something doesn't mean it was bad. I liked the driving and obviously R* did too because they don't usually just "push shit out the door".

Improving on something is awesome, I hope they nailed down even better and the talk of sim-talk is kind of good ... but kind of bad too, but if there's one company I trust not to fuck up a franchise, it's R*.

Many developers go on record saying things could be improved, it doesn't discount the previous version.

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

We agree to disagree, driving in gta4 for me is more like trying to control a giraffe driving a refrigerator.


edit: like I said I hope they improved on the driving by adding power steering fluid, and brake pads. Hell maybe even drove a car in real life for research!

Oh. My. God. This will be the greatest thing ever done by human beings. Bigger than the development of pharmaceuticals, bigger than buildings that touch the sky, bigger than putting men on the moon. Fucking NUTS.

 

[pargonta]

no details

 

[BFIB]

Why hasn't this shown up on my Nexus 7 yet!?

I'm about to jump off a bridge.

Spoiler

In GTA IV

 

[Kung Fu Grip]

Guys seriously....

What do we say about trolls? Not today.

 

[derFeef]

Any mention on how/if they've improved melee combat?

The first improvement would be to actually have melee combat.

 

[Router]

Is it still using euphoria?

 

[Auto_aim1]

Any mention on how/if they've improved melee combat?

They have. Not much details but this is what Houser said:

It's better than we've had in the past. How far we can push it -- we will see depending on resources we allocate to it.

We do want it to feel really fun and strong.

Well, I guess that's something.
Thanks.

I didn't read about the disc changing thing in the article man....

 

[Lonestar]

realized that I somehow had a subscription to GI. Damn you Gamestop, just when I thought you couldn't be any dumber, you go and do something like this... and totally redeem yourself!

Bigger than Just Cause 2? I doubt it.
