maybe more realisitic but so much less fun to play and travel around in, imo. I will not argue, we have our own preferences.
I hope they bring it back to more of a San Andreas style. People STILL talk about that game to this day, no one talks about GTA4. Anytime GTA comes up in mention it's always Vice City vs SA.

I want to recreate the chase sequence in True Lies. Thats all i ask rockstar.
Yeah. Ask me about a particular mission in GTA4 and I couldn't tell you one (except the bank robbery which everyone remembers). For all its pomp and circumstance about detail it missed the mark on variety and memorable missions. Hell I couldn't even tell you the storyline and i've completed the game twice.
Hahaha yes.

It was always hilarious watching people who'd never played a proper racing game attempt to grasp GTA IV's driving.
*crashes after trying to turn a corner at 150 mph without braking* "Wtf these controls are shit!"

Bikes, finally. So much stuff to be brought back from San Andreas.
I am sure if you play realistic racing games you may think the handling in GTA IV is terrible.

God no. That was okay for LA Noire being a slow paced adventure like game but it wouldn't fit most games at all.

Just because you play realistic games doesn't mean you hold up every game to those standards. I'm a part-time realsim racer and that's why I love the GTA IV handling, it has the elements of real inertia with the perfect arcade twist.
Judging by what I've read, L.A. Noire being capped to 30fps because of the facial animation is nothing more than a myth, and removing said cap just causes funky things with the physics engine.

Only Rockstar can get me hard with a few screenshots in 2012.
Fair enough. Nowadays I prefer a more fun driving model in an open world game, maybe because it's the thing I dislike the most about them. Chases, races, etc.
No way.
we shall see!
While I really like the idea behind the GTA4 style driving system - I almost wish it were MORE realistic (At least GT1/2 style 'realistic), with more realistic damage model... so that people would really feel the gravitas and the risk of driving at high speeds (i.e. you're probably going to die most of the time if you try (at least until you get good at it))...
The rest of the gameplay system really needs to be adjusted to accomodate for the extra difficulty of driving.
As in, during missions, there needs to be an AI director adjusting traffic to make chase sequences easier (i.e. cars generally try to stay out of the scripted mission path) - and it might even need to go so far as to have a rewind system similar to other racing games this generation. Something like where driving well at speed will build up a rewind meter - and if you fuck up, you get to expend some of that to correct your mistake - fuck up too much, and you'll have to restart at the checkpoint.
Also the ability to fast travel via taxi needs to become more convenient - phone number to call taxi (if you can't find one to flag down) - and even the ability to unlock a driver that can both bring cars to you and drive you around in said cars.
That would give us the best of all worlds - a realistic traffic city - helping to give high speed chase sequences a good deal of tension, a higher skill ceiling, something to differentiate themselves from competing products, while maintaining playability and fun.

My favorite game is Gran Turismo and I loved the handling in GTA4. It was actually fun and made going back to previous GTA games tough; because of the stiff handling.

The game will already have an unstable frame rate on consoles and if they put the facials of LAN then we can forget about a product with 60fps on PC day 1. Of course, like all other Rockstar PC ports, it will likely be fixed by the community if that's the case.
May 2013. There may be a big info blowout come December as well.

I play console sims with a Fanatec wheel setup and I thought the driving in GTAIV was absolutely amazing and fun, sadly, it was the best part of the game whereas with SA and older iterations the footwork and gunplay were some of the best parts coupled WITH the driving. I still enjoyed GTAIV and the expansions a lot, but they really need to bring back the 'chaos'.
Lot's of people. I would buy it for the current consoles to play it, probably for the PC when it launches (will have my updated system then too) and then for the new console whichever one that may be when I purchase it.
Not everybody is going to jump into Next Gen on launch day for their respective systems.
Fun
Playing a proper racing sim is like what GTA 4 was trying to do but failed to get right. That's why they don't make racing sims.
no reason. throwing it out there.
Why does GAF think everything should look like Crysis on a high end machine. It looks good to me compared the ass awful looking GTA4, oh no one bad small texture in a LA based open world game, yeah like every other game never has a bad batch of shitty textures throughtout its game.

What does a road texture mean for the game?
And we could always look at what the screenshots are depicting - bicycles! I miss the pedal bikes from SA, glad to see them making a return.

But they made one of the most fun racing games with Midnight Club, fun is what matters. Not how realistic it is to 'real driving'. If you want a sim, play one (I do). I expect different things from different games.
You're pretty transparent.
Sorry to come off as rude now but it's not like I go looking for boring models. Can't describe a specific handling model as "fun", as that's extremely subjective and isn't a way to describe anything.
