New GTA V previews

Watching Rev3Games, and holy shit at the preparation for the heists. This is a madness.

edit: yeah, this:

-'Mini heists' are used to teach the player about preparation. Players must secure vehicles, outfits, masks, the getaway vehicle.

-These build up to a bigger heist where the execution must be flawless. They'll require the right crew and players will have to decide on the cheap option, which results in less skilled people, or paying more for skilled crew members that will take a larger cut.
 
i very much doubt the gunplay will actually be as tight as max payne 3 by virtue of it being open world but i'm expecting a reasonable approximation

rdr had pretty solid shooting mechanics fwiw

They will probably dump a bunch of stuff and consolidate some actions into one button. They need to make room for the car interaction after all, but I think it should mostly stay similar.

resizedmp3s6yfn.png

All of that stuff on the d-pad can be moved elsewhere. Shifting camera perspective can be moved to R3. Shootdodging may or may not still be in, but if it is I can see it being combined with the X button stuff into some sort of "free run" jump button. Wouldn't be surprised if triangle button becomes some context sensitive action button for picking up weapons, getting into a car, interacting with world etc.

Definitely looking like this will become my favourite game of all time, about time something beats San Andreas.

Just hoping it comes out on next gen too, a game like this deserves it!
 
Kotaku said:
The Rockstar guys also told me how huge the game is and all that's in it. Well, some of what's in it: military bases, beaches, mountains, rivers, meth dealers, biker gangs.... the whole map is open from the start. Biggest weapons list ever. Biggest vehicle list, many of them customizable for looks and performance. Cars. Trucks. Motorcycles. Bicycles. Jet fighters. I saw a jumbo jet in the sky. Can we fly that? Not sure, probably not. These games have limits.

Just Cause 2 better than GTA V confirmed.
 
Summary From GTAV.net
  1. You can buy property; houses, garages and businesses can all be purchased for extra revenue sources.
  2. You can customise yourself with haircuts, new clothes, and tattoos
  3. Each character is rated in a series of skill categories: Stamina, Shooting, Strength, Stealth, Flying, Driving, Mechanic, Lung Capacity.
  4. Each character has a 'Special': Franklin is an adrenalin junkie and can slow down time while driving; Trevor has a frenzy mode, where he does double damage, takes half damage, and has a unique melee attack; Michael has his own version of bullet time
  5. Specials are governed by a meter, it drains after use and recharges slowly
  6. Other skill categories are shared and can be improved by completing missions, side missions, activities and more
  7. Trevor will always be the best pilot, Franklin will always be the best driver but each can improve their proficiency a little
  8. One of the skill categories is stealth, suggesting players will be able to take different approaches to missions
  9. Pay N Sprays can also mod cars with paint jobs, new wheels, window tints, grilles, spoilers. Upgrades to suspension, engine and brakes can also be made.
  10. Weapons can also be customised with laser sights, scopes, silencers, and high capacity magazines
  11. You can pick up hitchikers, do stunt jumps and flying challenges, take part in yoga, golf, tennis or bike races.
  12. Some boats will include gear such as wetsuit, flippers and tanks for diving
  13. An underwater ecosystem exits, "the sea is teaming with fish and sharks"
  14. Treasures can be found underwater, but NPCs will be looking for them too
  15. GTAV rewards exploration, there's no signposting underwater, so you'll have to find the treasure the hard way
  16. Dives won't offer massive payoffs, but will "help grease the wheels"
  17. The character selection wheel is split into four triangles: Franklin, Trevor, Michael, and your multiplayer character
  18. It seems there's a closer relationship between single and multiplayer. Simply pressing Down on the d-pad will drop the play in and out of MP.
  19. Rockstar has said it will reveal more on multiplayer in the future
  20. There are subtle differences in the way each character moves to reflect their personalities; Michael is slower and deliberate.
  21. Rockstar says there will be five times as many pedestrians in GTA V as there were in Grand Theft Auto IV
  22. There's a "crazy level of detail": Tourist buses can be boarded for a tour of celebrity homes, film posters are plastered on the walls, men in comedy costumes try to corner you outside the Cathay Theatre, including the Superman-like Impotent Rage and Master Chief riff, Space Ranger.
  23. iFruit, the game's new phone, can be used to snap pictures and upload them to Rockstar's Social Club
  24. The phone also has apps. In addition to the camera there is internet, contacts, social media, a calendar, and a replay missions app. There are three more Rockstar hasn't yet revealed.
  25. Michael's obsession with classic films translates into in-game set pieces based on real world movies. In the demo the three characters mount a heist very similar to the one from Heat.
  26. 'Mini heists' are used to teach the player about preparation. Players must secure vehicles, outfits, masks, the getaway vehicle.
  27. These build up to a bigger heist where the execution must be flawless. They'll require the right crew and players will have to decide on the cheap option, which results in less skilled people, or paying more for skilled crew members that will take a larger cut.
  28. You can switch between Franklin, Trevor and Michael during a cutscene, manually, or automatically when the AI takes control for you
  29. Each character has a job to do, how much you switch yourself in or let the computer do, is entirely up to you
  30. If you die the game reloads to the last checkpoint, even if two other characters are alive
  31. Although it's up to the player when they switch, dialogue will suggest ideal moments. For example, when Michael and Franklin are being overwhelmed by snipers, Michael might ask for Trevor's help.
  32. A combat roll has been introduced for moving between cover
  33. There is a wider field of vision, and players can run-and-gun

;_; their gonna top San Andreas.

wait did max payne 3 had shooting mapped to r2 on ps3 (i played on pc)

what the fuck
 
I'm really excited for the multi character gameplay scenarios.

This just sounds too good. Like it's just too much. I can already imagine all the little messing around things I can do. Like trying to get all the three characters into the same area of the map, lets say on a cliff, and then quickly switching to one character and knocking the others off the cliff lol

Just so many screw around things like that.

I expect R* to go dark again during E3 and do one massive push around August.

The Sessler breakdown sounds amazing, three active characters at the same time? So when you swap between characters, the AI takes over for that character while you are not using him. That's mind blowing.

Trevor's "Berserker mode" is going to be fun.

It feels definitely more similar to RDR than GTA IV. Blows both completely out of the water though, best shooting mechanics this gen.

  14. Treasures can be found underwater, but NPCs will be looking for them too
  15. GTAV rewards exploration, there's no signposting underwater, so you'll have to find the treasure the hard way
  16. Dives won't offer massive payoffs, but will "help grease the wheels"
  17. The character selection wheel is split into four triangles: Franklin, Trevor, Michael, and your multiplayer character
  18. It seems there's a closer relationship between single and multiplayer. Simply pressing Down on the d-pad will drop the play in and out of MP.
  19. Rockstar has said it will reveal more on multiplayer in the future
  20. There are subtle differences in the way each character moves to reflect their personalities; Michael is slower and deliberate.
  21. Rockstar says there will be five times as many pedestrians in GTA V as there were in Grand Theft Auto IV
  22. There's a "crazy level of detail": Tourist buses can be boarded for a tour of celebrity homes, film posters are plastered on the walls, men in comedy costumes try to corner you outside the Cathay Theatre, including the Superman-like Impotent Rage and Master Chief riff, Space Ranger.
  23. iFruit, the game's new phone, can be used to snap pictures and upload them to Rockstar's Social Club
  24. The phone also has apps. In addition to the camera there is internet, contacts, social media, a calendar, and a replay missions app. There are three more Rockstar hasn't yet revealed.
  25. Michael's obsession with classic films translates into in-game set pieces based on real world movies. In the demo the three characters mount a heist very similar to the one from Heat.
  26. 'Mini heists' are used to teach the player about preparation. Players must secure vehicles, outfits, masks, the getaway vehicle.
  27. These build up to a bigger heist where the execution must be flawless. They'll require the right crew and players will have to decide on the cheap option, which results in less skilled people, or paying more for skilled crew members that will take a larger cut.
  28. You can switch between Franklin, Trevor and Michael during a cutscene, manually, or automatically when the AI takes control for you
  29. Each character has a job to do, how much you switch yourself in or let the computer do, is entirely up to you
  30. If you die the game reloads to the last checkpoint, even if two other characters are alive
  31. Although it's up to the player when they switch, dialogue will suggest ideal moments. For example, when Michael and Franklin are being overwhelmed by snipers, Michael might ask for Trevor's help.
  32. A combat roll has been introduced for moving between cover
  33. There is a wider field of vision, and players can run-and-gun

Shitty visuals/IQ/framrate be damned, I'm excited, looks like some good old gta fun.

Double-dipping on a cleaned up PC version eventually will be glorious too. Even in these console shots I'm really liking the color palette and style though.

I'm worried about the graphics not being as good as the trailer's i wish Kotaku were more specific on the subject.

Aside from that, all the info sound too fucking good to be true.

I need to stop reading previews. Hype is through the roof.

This sounds like the heist game I've always wanted. Well, since robbing the casino in San Andreas :)

I'd say good camera angles can do wonders.

Anyway I think I'm gonna go on a media blackout. I want this game to surprise me rather than go in knowing everything.

Sounds like San Andreas, which is good news, though i find it difficult to trust anything that any media outlet says about, after what happened last time.

Everything sounds great, but I'm still concerned the on-foot stuff is going to continue feeling like you're controlling a bag of potatoes.
