The fact that the GTA 5 logo has both the roman numeral for 5 and the word for 5 speaks volumes

[StanUpshaw]

Between this and Skyrim, looks like I'll need to be saving up for some new hardware.

They hate Arabic numerals?

[Snoogans]

this doesnt make sense. they didnt go from 3 to 4 til a new platform. Shouldnt this be another off shoot of 4? they should save 5 til PS4 and XBox 720

Its going to be a while still before those release. Also, considering how poorly things went with Team Bondi when they were making LA Noir and would just prefer to push something that was in house.

[CountryBob]

Rockstar has got it going on!

im not sayin dont make a GTA game. just call it GTA LA or something. Dont call it 5 yet, that fucks up the whole purpose of what they were doin

Can't they just have a GTA 6 for the next gen when it does arrive?

again, im just goin by what rockstar has done. All the GTA games for ps2 were GTA 3 or GTA: something. They didnt call it 4 until the new system. They never put out a 2 on PC. They waited til the consoles. So goin how they have done it, its just weird to be 5 already.

Also its weird because, according to everything coming out of rockstar, rockstar england was making the next game and was gonna be based in london

Rockstar North is the Dev team which is based in Edinburgh. I mean, it looks pretty good graphically, the shadowing is clearly at a new level from earlier entries.....I've just never heard anyone gripe about the number entry and console platform coinciding or not. I know there has been a pattern, but what difference does it make if that pattern is broken? The first game they make for the new console generation will still be a big deal when it happens.

cause it makes me think they took a financial hit and threw it out just to get paid, and so maybe it didnt get the time and energy the past ones got, and so maybe its gonna suck now

the first time i ever played GTA, i was like 10 years old and it was GTA 1 on a fuckin window 3.11 (workgroups bitch) system. it didnt even play in windows, you had to exit and load the game through fuckin DOS. I dont want them ruining my childhood like Nick Nolte did

Have you actually read anything that makes you think they took a financial hit? I would seriously doubt there in any sort of trouble. Red Dead Redemption was huge and found large success in the DLC market, La Noir was a hit and a sequel is going to be in the works at some point. Max Payne 3 is still on its way out despite being delayed (which is actually good news for video games most of the time). I just don't see a connection between doing another numbered GTA out on the current console generations and Rockstar being in financial trouble.

Besides, the trailer looks great man......just relax a little....I think your childhood will remain intact.

Oh I thoroughly enjoyed giving my hardcore PS3 friends shit when their network went down after all the shit I got about red rings when I got an xbox.

[styckx]

I see Rockstar still has no fucking clue what antialiasing is.

I don't think it looks THAT bad....I can't even say that phrase because it actually looks really good......a few pointed edges, but its gona be in dev for a while still and it already looks pretty smooth. These games get fine tuned till the last min. especially in the graphics dept.

[IamFogHat]

Wow

In before the merge.

[furie]

it'll be hard for me to like anything other than Liberty City. I'm familiar with driving around NY and NJ so i could actually conceptualize where i was when playing the game without the map. This'll take a bit more doing.

So you hung out on Roosevelt Island beating up fat guys too! Hah, I knew it wasn't just me ;>

Meh... That's all, meh.

It did look bad. I saw jaggies, the overpass sign looked like shimmery crap, I saw a texture shimmering in and out of view out in the distance in one of the shots which a red flag this game yet again has no AA or AF. It's a trailer, this will be the same one they use to sell the game with.

GTA4 looked like crap for the most part because of no AA and no AF. Thankfully, years and years later I can use the FXAA Injector to finally give GTA4 some much needed smoothing. Hopefully this is DirectX 9 still so I can still the FXAA Injector if they once again just copy pasted console code to the PC version.

Will wait and see though. Hopefully these idiots learned how to dump more load on a graphics card and stopped leaning on the CPU to do all the heavy lifting. GTA4 was a pile of steaming dog leavings. Worst optimized game behind FSX.

[furie]

the trailer is a bit of a let down

[CountryBob]

Its early - give them time...

[IamFogHat]

Interesting vid, someone put GTA 5 footage against San Andreas to compare graphics.

Well to be fair it's a little better than "slightly".

It probably has nothing to do with Vinewood.

it does look way better, however it concerns me that the gameplay itself looks to be the same fuckin story. holy shit these lazy fucks are gonna ruin it

[StanUpshaw]

Haven't they all been the same story?

[Snoogans]

Haven't they all been the same story?

no, they were all different places with different shit.

San Andreas was the biggest, craziest story. by the end of that shit, you owned mansions in beverly hills, managed Ice Ts rap career, owned a fuckin casino in vegas, you have fuckin fighter jets and apache helicopters you could fly around and you worked for a government agency

[StanUpshaw]

San Andreas is the only one I've played start to finish, but the differences are pretty superficial, don't you think?

[Snoogans]

i get your point, but at least you were in different places with different scenes and people and shit. look at that video. It looks like the same exact fuckin scenes, just with white people

[StanUpshaw]

I got the impression that they rendered those scenes intentionally to serve as a comparison. Do we know anything about what the game actually covers, besides that it's set in CA?

i get that but i mean, its just creepy close. backpacking up mountains that look the same, the weed field looks the same. everything looks like you are doin the same shit.

I dont know why, but i really feel like they are mailin it in. this is like Caviliers Shaq

Snoogans, they tried to create the same trailer using San Andreas so they could compare the two. Its supposed to look the same for the purposes of the comparison. You are REAAAALLLLY slanted against this game for some reason.

[newport king]

i recognize how impressive Rockstar games are, i just haven't been able to get into a single one of them, GTA4, Liberty, Vice, RedDead, its all lost on me.

i know, but you cant do that with any of the others. Its one thing to have similar sequences and another thing to look like you are literally using the same setting and scene. I dont see how you cant understand this.

San Andreas was a massive game, and there is no way you could do the same thing with that and with 4.

I cant wait til im in a new model pickup truck tryin to catch a suicidal rapper jumping off the roof

I understand it fine. you think they're taking parts of San Andreas and using it the new game. They're not, that promo for San Andreas never aired and none of those parts were in the game. Some one created it for shits and gigs to compare the two graphically.

actually yes, those parts were in the game, in cut scenes. i remember having to go to the stupid farm and listen to peter fonda freak out

[Melrapuo]

It seems like this trailer was done, not only to pay homage to the first San Andreas game, but also to have those geeky, hardcore GTA fans who know everything about the games go "Holy shit, is this San Andreas?" before eventually telling people that yes, yes it is San Andreas. Its built to just mirror the old game so fanboys get their rocks off.

It does look pretty sick though.

[NewYorkDragons80]

Any word on voice talent we know and love?

GTA V screenshots (http://imgur.com/a/VgXOn)

When you include interior and exterior spaces together, Los Santos is bigger than the worlds of Red Dead Redemption, San Andreas, and Grand Theft Auto IV combined, with room to spare.

Oh, and here is the actual article (http://imgur.com/a/GsODP).

[brettmojo]

I'm starting to get stoked for it.

[Snoogans]

when is this bitch coming out?

[keithy_19]

when is this bitch coming out?

When you start treating it with a little respect. Unlike all those hookers you killed (in the game).

ill start treating it with respect when i see proof that they didnt bite story lines off of San Andreas

Grand Theft Auto Online Looks Absolutely Insane (http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/grand-theft-auto-online-looks-absolutely-insane/2300-7818/)

[MIKEYDAKEN]

Can we get a .net clan going?

[furie]

i'd like to. it would make it more fun

i heard the multiplayer won't be active when it's released. that'll be activated in a patch a few weeks later.

i think they do that on purpose cause they want people to actually play the game, since they put so much effort into it
