I'm starting to wonder whether or not the press saw actual gameplay.

No mention of the HUD, inventory system, etc.
Either that or they have a gag order.

I have no respect for the gaming press but I can't believe they're that oblivious.

The GI article said that R* told them the HUD in the demo was purely placeholder.

With all of Dan Houser's "We're still working on _______" comments I can't say I'm 100% confident they'll hit Spring 2013.

Still a ton of questions- but I love that each character has their own, specific activities. It'll be really neat to understand each character through different mini-games they can partake in. I wonder if you can call to hang out with another protagonist and just do an activity together.

yes, today i had the horrifying thought of GTAV being delayed to Q4. "we need more time to polish, we want to deliver the best game we can blablabla".

you all know it's going to happen.

I am definitely expecting it to be delayed. It will launch next to some great but unknown game which will cause it the unknown game to sell poorly and developers will blame piracy and the used game market.

"Is the Wanted system different in this game?

When I asked Dan Houser about this in the interview, he said he wasn’t exactly sure how it would be changing yet. They are tweaking it a bit, but probably not much."

Your answer.

Anyone else reminded of Boyd Crowder (Justified) from Trevor's appearance? I was half-expecting him to speak with the twang of a Kentuckian.

He reminds me of a slightly less ridiculous Jack Elam:

I think Rockstar asks them not to speak about mechanics like that. Because some press outfit would come out with that information and do a blow out if they were allowed to. Same thing happened with IV.

There wasn't any way for Packie to die in 4, right? I was really expecting to see him in this, wonder if they couldn't get the voice actor back or something.

he'll be the main character in los santos stories for the vita

Doubt it. I think Spring 2013 will be locked. They have to launch them because 'next gen' will likely drop in the Fall.

It might be June 18, but it will be spring. (IMO)

The first what? GTA5 trailer? I don't think so, it looks the same.

Yeah the first trailer.
It had a better IQ and the lighting effects looked better too, to me.
Some scenes especially, like the Hickers shot.

When i read about the wanted system still not being in place and that they were still "thinking about it" i got the same thought. :\

I hoped they would overhaul it, it wasn't horrible in IV, but RDR introduced the witness thing (that you couldn't directly port in a GTA, but something similar, why not?) and in general, get rid of the omniscent police, i don't want a star if i fire a gun in the woods.

That's a good point, plus the president (i think) of Take Two, in a recent interview, stressed out how important it is for them to release in non-crowded windows.
I hope they'll deliver for Spring, but all these elements still not in place, + the huge amount of beta testing that goes into an open world game, i'm not super confident.
Hopefully, that's one area that can actually be solved throwing money at it, just hire an army of testers.

Most of GTA4 was a built up area, so I doubt a cop will suddenly appear in the woods when you're hunting...maybe a park ranger? And we have silencers now.

And I don't see much wrong with the system, it's not overly complexed, but it's not ridiculously over the top like the rest of the series. I remember starting a 3 star level in the very corner of the map and, on foot, shot my way diagonally to the bottom of the map with them following me all the way (I could of given them the slip a couple of times in the middle of the city, but I was testing them). I think if you shoot a gun near a cop it should go to one star, but that's if the cop is around...which is how it works, it's not like the other games where a cop suddenly appears (they are around most of the time anyway). I was playing SA yesterday, and early on I was trying to find gangs to steal their guns, and both the gangs and cops would just appear and shot me, more often than not appearing behind me. There are a lot of things GTA4 did better than the rest of the series, but everyone has erased them from their collective memory.

Ok so just the one city, i'm cool with that, but will there be maybe a little village or dwelling with a couple houses, a farm or something when you venture outside the main city limits into the rural area then?

Absolutely. Sounds like there's quite a bit to see outside of the city. Specific quote about it from IGN's interview today with Dan Houser:

This world -- the range of height and between north and south and east and west -- is huge, and it's a real strength. It felt California. Oceans are there and tall hills are there. We wanted those in the game. For us, this kind of world, that was a big properly-realized L.A. and a huge slab of regionally appropriate countryside, felt like the most interesting match to do something new with. Doing other cities just didn't seem appealing. Doing small towns is very appealing.

There's a bunch of small towns and villages and whatnot in there to discover and play around in. Doing other cities, though, felt like it was going to create problems we didn't need. It wasn't going to add to the experience. Of course you could do a game with a bunch of cities now that could be pretty interesting, but we didn't think that was going to be this game. This map is going to be spectacular to people when they start exploring and playing around with it.

I'm excited about discovering all those smaller communities.

They say so in the article. There's several small outlying communities, apparently.

The dialog people criticize is almost entirely in cutscenes and conversations, never in the "kill 50 baddies" sequences. And can a real, professional writer write dialog for those scenes, even if the player goes and blows up a train in the next scene? Yes. I think that the first half of Uncharted 2 has pretty good writing and great character interaction, yet the protagonist runs around killing hundreds of dudes.
Click to expand...

Which is one of Uncharted's major flaws: the writing doesn't fit. You'll learn to appreciate Rockstar's writing after you've played games like Saint's Row.

Rockstars Proprietary engine is called RAGE (Rockstar Advanced Game Engine).

Has nothing to do with the ID game of the same name.
Click to expand...


Yes. Dan Houser has talked about this recently.

What about the effects and cinematic, what's new here? Have you developed a new version of the RAGE engine or a new version of Euphoria? Do these tools have improved?
DH; Always improving, yes. A year ago we have a new platform for motion capture, the best company in the world, Giant, they only work with three or four clients. We are the only company that has games, others are, you know, like James Cameron. They have a very good facial animation. It's amazing when you see the technology that exists now. So all that's new.

As for RAGE, we are using a new version and the results are spectacular. We are also using an updated version of Natural Motion's Euphoria, which is updated constantly ,the guys from Natural Motion come to our company and we work shoulder to shoulder with them ... We are definitely using the most updated versions.

That one was before they got the actual PS3 specs. Sony tricked them.



Yeah, we've gotten basically no real gameplay information. It's crazy that people can say their hype "is maxed out" already when we still barely know anything about the mechanics.
Click to expand...

First gameplay I saw of IV was the day before launch. Still hyped through the roof :) The fact that R* can pull this off speaks volumes.

If, for example, you damage public property, you will be responsible for damages. If you do not pay the fine within 30 days you, your fine will increase an addition $200. Failing to pay your fee will result in a warrant for your arrest. You have a right to a speedy trial. Maximum penalty will be 6 months in prison and up to $10,000.
