Now is my favorite time before release.
Screens trickle in at random, each mag gets a new bit of info.
It's really exciting.

I just hope this game breaks some new ground.
Not just a "GTA4, but bigger" package.

Where? PM?
When has Rockstar ever just rested on its laurels?
Any new info including scans can be found in the gta v/news section of gtaforums. They're a little obsessive over there but its basically got everything.
Check RDR, MP3 and the previews for GTAV. They are incoporating what they learned from those titles; GTA IV is already 5 years old I believe...they won't rest.

well, having 3 characters is already something innovative and new. or when was the last time you played a huge open-world game where you could switch between 3 main characters at will, and when you weren't playing as them they would be out doing their thing? i think it's cool as hell, and probably much harder to incorporate into the game then we think, must have been a nightmare for the programmers. it's a really ambitious feature.
This is what I keep saying.
GTA III was an amazing game at the time and the baseline that they used to build on. GTA IV was much the same way as GTA III, it was the first title using new technology. The improvements that build on first title are what makes the sequels so amazing.

I swear they are reusing GTA4 assets.
The bags they have over their backs look the same.
I haven't pre-ordered the game but rest assured that if I had, I would be on the way to cancel that pre-order right now.

you can expect this when some of the cars in the game are the same in GTA4
I hope this is some sort of weird joke.

Besides the fact it clearly is breaking new ground in many ways, its a whole new city. Look at SR4 which is the exact same Steelport but "bigger n craziezizier" and look what a better company will do for the same price.
Nope. In fact I'm gonna pre-order it just to cancel it and when they ask me why I'm cancelling my pre-order, I'll murmur something about recycled bags and push a magazine rack over on the way out of the store.

Hope State of Decay will eat up a nice chunk of my time.
Oh yeah that's right, I meant to play the demo last night. My friend with mostly similar gaming tastes to mine is having a blast with it and the GAF OT is filled with positive impressions. Definitely looks promising.

Nothing wrong with posting the "scan" I guess.
This seems to be a promo card.

Don´t get it. What is this about?
EDIT: Ahhhh the Bags right? So now what?

Yeah I saw that - Is that supposed to be something we should all be furious about?

Correct.
Although that would have been a hot selling point.
"We´ve rebuilt all the bags from the ground up" -.-
Agreed.
They also reused vehicles, the parachute models and probably a whole lot of other stuff.
As long as it fits the new setting and it's not jarring, i'm happy they didn't waste time and money on modeling useless crap.
Besides, it's the same gameworld, those bags are sold nation(probably world)wide.

Why would anyone bother customizing a car in GTA? It's just going to get exploded within 30 minutes of whatever mission/random chaos you embark on next. Unless it's persistent and will always respawn in, say, a particular house's garage, like you've got a taste for a certain souped-up mustang and it's like you're constantly rebuying them after the last one got blown up in a shootout.

We must remain strong!
Bah, the lack of a Rockstar summer release is doing funny things to me.

I think this is pretty key here. With the reintroduction of garages, I'm hoping for some persistence in cars, at least for one character (say, Franklin). Saints Row 1 improved car persistence from the GTA games and I thought that GTA IV would end up borrowing the concept from them, where your cars are accessible in any of your garages, except they aren't automagically fixed up when you enter and exit the garage... you have to pay a small fee for those repairs. It really gave you a sense of vehicle ownership.
GTA IV took a big step back with this. Not only weren't their actual garages, but car ownership was practically nonexistence. I think you that you could park your car in front of your apartment in a designated spot, but it wasn't the same as in San Andreas where garages were obvious and worked consistently. I still think I'd park a rare car outside my apartment, and when I'd come out, it would change into an SUV.
So, with vehicle mods, I'm suspecting that Rockstar will be implementing some sort of vehicle ownership system... Even if maybe it's just for when you're racing or for designated times in the game. I just can't imagine implementing a robust modification system ALA Midnight Club, and then have the player junk every car like usual.
Nah, we already know we can customize heists, clothing, masks etc. So that might include bags too.

Well, that is quite disappointing. cars still better over/under steer and the traction control should be a lot less so you can actually spin out.
People should be punished for going too fast into corners, simple.
It took like 10 minutes for me to adjust to the driving in IV, very simple and once you know what to do, hardly even challenging.
I wish R* would make it simple and have a normal and simulation mode like mafia 2 does, that would be the best.

It took me a lot longer than 10 minutes to adapt, but in the end I thought GTA IV had some of the best driving ever, including compared to many dedicated racing games. It was a major improvement over the previous GTAs. But it certainly wasn't perfect. It sounds to me like GTA V is going to be even more improved. Win-win.
Still no composer details. Damn.

why didnt they use speed bag to generate new fresh bags *cancels preorder*
Isn't it rumoured to be the guy who was going to be doing the soundtrack for the movie Drive, but couldn't?

just hope we can get a 80s synth station or atlest some synth songs on whatever the electro station will be
That's what I've been hypothesizing, but I haven't seen it mentioned elsewhere yet. I hope it is, but who knows.
