I've already watched this video five times. I've never been this excited for a game before. Everything in this game looks perfect. It looks like Rockstar really listened to all the complaints people had about IV because I can't see any problems so far.

Ok, I want this now. The gameplay looked fucking amazing!

I'm more excited now after seeing some gameplay footage and learning more about the features. Finally, there's customizable cars. GTA IV should have had this already. Learn a thing or two from Saints Row.

If it's an altered PS3 then it's not a PS3.

LA Noire and Red Dead looked amazing. It might not look as good as the trailers but it will definitely look better than IV.

Am I the only one who was actually underwhelmed at the graphics in the gameplay trailer? The gameplay was significantly worse than the previous screenshots and trailers led me to believe. I don't think they're that much better than IV.

as far as i'm concerned no one in the world will ever convince me that the footage was captured on any console

Rockstar has let everyone who's viewed a demo inspect the system they were playing on. All of them say it's legit.

I think they're a lot better than IV - the faces are way better and the lighting is great. The antialiasing lets it down a bit though.

Whenever I read though the GTA V subreddit I can't help but feel as though people are expecting too much from this game. A lot of people seem to be hoping for "realistic" features that ultimately just sound boring. It'll probably get to the point where some guy discusses how amazing it would be if Franklin's dog were to take a shit a couple times a day and the player would get a wanted level for not cleaning it up.

What is it with people these days thinking realism makes better games? The level of realism a lot of people seem to be expecting/wanting sounds awful. Games aren't meant to be simulations of life.

I just want kill frenzies & all kinds of crazy shit like in the previous games before IV & since it's going back to Andreas I really hope it's nothing like IV & more like Andreas.

I think a lot of people are forgetting that, at its core, Grand Theft Auto V will still be Grand Theft Auto. A lot of the features they've introduced are just extras to fill in all the empty space that IV left. There's still going to be epic police chases, long shooting sequences, tons of trouble to get into and all the stuff that's already been in the series so far. But now there's going to be extra stuff. It's just to help some people immerse themselves into the world.

Response to Grand Theft Auto V: Official! 2013-07-22 10:24:53


Examples of people hoping for boring "realistic" features:

Golf carts when playing golf - Now okay, I can see why people might thing that sounds interesting but have you ever played a golf game that manually required you to walk over to the ball every time you hit it? Why would someone want to add a level of tediousness to the game just to make it seem a little more like the real world?

Night life that involves dancing, drinking games and trying to pick up girls - how about you turn off the console and go to a real night club. I bet the graphics would be fantastic!

Customising and living in bought property - How much time to people spend in GTA safe houses? Not a lot, I imagine. Changing cloths, saving the game and playing the in-game video games once before getting bored of them are about the only reasons I can think of being in the safe houses. Is house customisation really so important? This is GTA, not The Sims.

Having more than just dogs as pets - Yes, because getting an alert that Fluffy the rabbit's hutch needs cleaning every 30 minutes sounds like a fantastic game mechanic.

Don't get me wrong, it's okay for people to want to see certain things in the games they play but people seem to be overly obsessed with realism in games these days. To the point where they're starting to hope for features that don't sound like fun at all. GTA IV let you go bowling, play pool, play darts and go get drunk. All of these features were fun the first time but really, did you care for them much afterwards? The mini-games were alright but they're not the reason you play GTA. It was amusing to watch Niko stumble around drunk but after a while, you just get fed up of watching him fall over. How many times did you use the car wash outside of missions?

Sure, these features add to the "realism" and "immersion" of the game but if you barely made use of these features, what's the point in them existing? I'm not saying it would be better if the features weren't there. I guess I'm just hoping it doesn't get to the point where developers feel pressured to make their games become simulations of real life in order to please gamers.

I'm not even sure why I'm bringing this up. It just seems like gamers these days have totally different expectations to those of games 10 years ago. Expectations that, as far as I'm concerned, add nothing to the games themselves.

I saw that earlier. I assume the guy is joking. Recreational rape is probably too outrageous even for Rockstar North anyway.

I'd actually like this, something to spend the ocean of money you'll have by the end of the game. If you had something similar to the mansion from Vice City but had to pay to get a helipad or whatever, it might feel like large amounts of money are actually worth something.

Shepard's goldfish and space hamster were the highlight of Mass Effect 2.

"There could even be a 'sex' meter and if it gets too low, your ability to rape increases and each character has their own special abilities when it hits the bottom, like Trevor could have sex with an animal and Michael could rape a guy, or a kid."

Why hasn't Illusion soft thought of this yet? Also good to know that rape, beastiality and pedophillia (not looking up how to spell that) are just "special abilities".

Some new screenshots were shown on Facebook. One image that caught my attention was of two helicopters, one of which has "Marines" clearly labeled on it along with a desert camouflage. Hopefully this means even more military vehicles that we can use (like those jets we have seen a few times already).
I just wanna jack a tank, dammit.

Just one more month until this bad boy gets released. I started seeing a girl at work and her birthday is Sept. 17, that means I can't play GTA V on release, what the hell man, what the hell.

Yea, only 36 days until release. I still don't know whether I want to pre-order a copy and hope Amazon actually delivers it on release day or walk down to Asda for the midnight release that I assume they'll do. I'd rather have it pre-ordered personally. Saves me having to stand in a queue for 30 minutes. But then it sucks if it doesn't arrive on release day and all the forums I lurk are plastered with GTA V talk.

What do?

Every single time I've pre-ordered through Amazon *counts to himself* (four times) it has arrived on the day of release, so that's my suggestion. Saves you the trouble of standing around for an hour. Also stay away from forums discussing the game until you've experienced the meat of the storyline, they tend to spoil without consideration.
