Sigh. Read the thread or somebody will revoke your Mensa membership.

He's just trying to funny. See above.

 

[Wind's Howling]

Small list.

In the end we will only be driving around 5 or 6 cars and bikes but the less diversity in cars means more NPC's driving in the same one's and that is something I always disliked and immediately puts me out of the game.

Trying? It's effortless. And I'm taking the mick out of those who need the mick taken out of them - the amount of people who were still questioning the lack of planes pages into the thread was a little alarming.

Game of the forever, confirmed! Day fucking one!

 

[Marleyman]

Wait, let me get this straight, there's only ONE plane in the whole game? Failstar.

Nice

 

[truly101]

Trains.....fuck yeah. Thats the one thing I never got to do in SA was take a train for the hell of it.

If they're going for a very detailed game world that is filled with content, which I think is very likely, it probably won't be large -- it most likely won't be large enough to let players fly around in fast planes, atleast.

I think people expect enviroments to be more interactive/reactive to gameplay mechanics/player, like perhaps climbing to some extent, picking random stuff up, moving random stuff around, or perhaps even the use of gadgets like hookshoting a rope ontop of a building, then climbing up, etc. And certainly people will expect some fully modelled buildings that you are able to explore.

They need to do something along those lines, or it'll just be more of the same. I wouldn't really mind San Andreas with modern graphics set in a slightly different gameworld, though.

I agree with the person in this thread who believes San Fierro (San Francisco) is too grandiose to be done properly with that level of detail.


Btw, for those who quizzed snow in LA...

 

[GungHo]

I don't remember, but does R* license real car brands in their GTA(s)?

No names. The models are very recognizable, though. I liked the Range Rover Sport in GTA4.

I'm from LA and I have to wonder if that photo is not entirely untouched. There are plenty of snowy mountains in SoCal, but I don't think I've ever seen a view like that of LA proper, mountains towering over the city. I could be wrong of course, wouldn't be the first time someone failed to notice something obvious in the place they've lived for decades. Maybe it's all down to the camera angle/lens/f-stop/whatever.

EDIT: Co-worker says it was probably taken from a particular park near LAX with a telephoto lens. Huh.

 

[DXPett1]

No Stinger, no buy. We haven't seen it since Vice City.

I remember when I first uncovered the Stinger I made it my mission to get one in all my garages. Fast and could change direction quickly. Great car

Looks like that particular photo was taken from Kenneth Hahn Park in Baldwin Hills.
On a really, really, really clear day.

Similar photo:

Those mountains look pretty far though, how much are they going to include?
Even considering the reduced scale, in proportion, i mean.

The GTA universe is not known for accurate portrayal of cities. After all, we are talking about a fictitious city. In GTA SA, once you got to the Hollywood Hills, everything was countryside. R* probaby have more flexibility this time since the map will be bigger and the area represented will be smaller.

 

[Ooccoo]

I'd like them to add this too or something equally disturbing

 

[PSYGN]

Is it safe to assume that this is the plane in question? It's from the trailer.

Look at those hard workers. Not even a plane heading right at them would stop them from working.

 

[Digishine]

some easter egg in Max Payne 3 show some planes of GTA V

The second picture on the right looks like the same one in the GTA V trailer.

 

[Gravijah]

i'ma be shootin' them missiles urrwhere.

 

[IMACOMPUTA]

Indeed.

GTA IV driving is awesome, has that right blend of weight versus handling to flip cars around and make them fun to drive.

Absolutely agree with this. The driving is something you really have to learn, and it's quite rewarding once you get it.
Really fun just driving around.

EDIT:
Bring on the GTAV DayZ mod!
That'd be fucking sweet.
