i doubt they will have much of an effect at all. The Driver Series went downhill with Driver 3 and lossed many fans (me included). True Crime i think will be #2 when compared to sales with other crime games, but if you own True Crime chances are you own GTA games. Plus GTA being a very well established series and Rockstar having the reputation of making games to the fullest will be an advantage to GTA.
We have no idea what saints row will be like. Nothing will hinder the sales of GTA because GTA is one of the elite games. People will buy it no matter what. If Saint's Row is good, then people will buy both but it won't effect gta sales.

In Vice city, it never made any sense that that Avery site never got built into anything. I think each time you complete a mission a few buildings should be either built or started. If you think about it, it really didn't make any sense. I think the next GTA should happen over the course of a few years rather than, I dunno, 3 weeks? A month?
Yeah, I would like to see the next GTA take place over a year instead of a month.
Do you think games like The Godfather, Scarface: The World is Yours, the True Crime series, Saints Row, Driver 4: Parallel Lines, etc. will have a mjor effect on the sales of GTA?
I was so pissed when Tony died at the end of Scarface. When I found out you would survive the murder attempt to reak vengeance, I was like Hell Yeah!!! So I will definetely check that out. But there is no way any game or company outside of R* can hinder GTA, its still the King. I mean I own driver 3 and will get TR: New York, but I will still get GTA no matter what. Plus its going to be on the Freaking PS3!!!
On that note, After GTA4 comes out, I hope R* (for people who have the HDD) will make it so people who have GTA4 can load the game on their HDD and after beating whatever the next GTA is, give you the chance to go back to the cities in GTA4. For example: Think of SA, what if you could load VC and gta3 on your HDD and then you just press start or go to a special location and then whatever city your heading to whether liberty city or vice city will load from your hdd straight into SA seamlessly and CJ could travel from SA to VC to LC just like he could travel between Las Venturas and Los Santos almost seamleslly. That would be a really tight feature and max out replay value.
Since the graphics engine and almost all other things are the same, why not let us just play through the whole series for fun. This could be a problem though if the game after GTA4 is far more advanced due to R* having more time with the PS3.
i was thinking maybe if you had a psp and you wanted to play some of your new next gen gta but ur going on holiday. *Shock horror* So you plug your psp into the ps3 and load up some of the missions onto the memory stick. Then you can do those missions on your psp.... then plug it back into your ps3 and its like you have done the missions in the game.
If that makes sense.

a PSP wont be able to run the game so how would that work?
I like the idea of buildings getting built while your doing missions. Allthough i kinda like doing tricks in the building sites.
I think Adambas just re-ashed one of my idea's :shock:
I want credit for that u know!
Any ways if were gunna have cars where u can mod, i wanna have performance mod's too, it would be uber cool to have a fast as hell car for a bank job :D

much how like a few PSP --> PS2 games work, download the game onto the PSP but you must have the PSP version of the game for it to work.

Has anyone noticed how in Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories more of the pedestrians look different, maybe in the next GTA we might see every pedestrian look different.
I guess Iīm the only one with out a PSP. (Anyone wanna buy me one? :wink: )
Personally I was never bothered with the pedestrians looking the same. Sure it will be a nice improvement, but I woulnīt mind having it the same way as SA. Allthough Iīm pretty sure there will be alot more NPC models.

What do you mean by that?? There are tons of females in GTA's or do you mean as the main character?
Another thing I want in GTA 4 is a mini-gun that you can run with and you can place it on your car while driving.
What a great example of a intelligent post... <br />

What would you do with a computer in a car in GTA? Play games? :lol: <br />

Iīm not too concerned about what car mods the next GTA will have since...

I meant like a computer for the Engine Unit Processor.
You mean an EUP (Engine unit processor) I cant remember the word, but basicly its a computer chip that affects the car's computer circutry wich basicly improves ignition and speed, also gets rid of...
Theres a chip that increases horsepower by an incredible amount. The problem with the Modding in San Andreas is, well, it sucked. It was so freakin upsetting to see that you could really only do five or six things and you could only do it to the exterior.
their needs to be chicks
That's so true. There definitely should be chicks :lol:.

I don't know about the car mods. . . .Personally i think it would take away from the game... plus why mod your car when in 30 seconds you are gonna flip it, or have it shot up by a gang, or crash it and have it blow up. Kind of a stupid idea for GTA in my opinion... but hey to each his own
I agree, but I also think cars should hold more value. In past GTA's cars are just like toy cars. You break it, you get a new one. As opposed to in real life. You take really good care of your car and if you happen to "break" it, you save money to buy a new one. There should be some way where the cars have more value.

I think something like a car dealership would be nice, buy the best, but you CANNOT steal them, but you can sell buy and customize them to your hearts content, that would make me happy! (more races needed, and maybe a car from like XXX where you can have rockets shoot out the headlights!)
whitey__rolls
10-29-2005, 23:05
Ok that's fine that you want cars to hold more value, and to have less theft. I think theft is still necessary (Grand THEFT Auto) but maybe a bit more penalty (automatic stars) if you steal a car. But back to my point if cars are to hold more value. they will have to make them less destructable... if you actually go and buy cars, you can't have them blow up every 5 minutes

Yeah in the last GTA games I didn't like how your car would get wrecked so easy. Cars should definatly be more destructable but only to a certain extent. & dirtbikes, harley davidsons etc. should be more sturdy so they dont always fishtail.
In the next GTA when your chillin and you take out a sniper rifle you should be able to see yourself lift the gun up and look through the scope and then it zooms in a cool way somehow :? im stoked for the PS3 I hope they release some info/videos b4 X-Mas.
yer that would be cool they definatly need more car mods and stuff. And yer some videos of gta next gen would be nice. I think they need to change the blowing up thing aswell, it sucked how just because you drive a car off a cliff it should blow up. GOD.
I really donīt get why people want the cars to have more value. I mean thats what I liked about GTA. You donīt have to be really careful with your car and drive like you would in real life. Whats next? You can only have regular jobs in GTA and canīt shoot anyone because "Human lives have more value" :lol:
I prefer the good olī way of wrecking a car not meaning a thing. (except if itīs a cool modded one)

I dont know if this has been discussed before and i dont know how truthfull it is but i found a statement on a website saying "grand theft auto next will be a launch title for ps3." Now this is very plausible since many would by a PS3 based on this if it only came out for PS3.
http://www.santoalt.com/playstation3/ps3_unveiled.php
(scroll down after the specs are talked about)
I agree with harder cars to blow up, but i suggest its only if you crash the car, not having to use two rockets to blow it up :D
street racer 275
10-30-2005, 15:48
I suggest lifelike damage to cars... Ok just think about it, every time you shoot a cars door, it just look like it does when you hit it with another car... And instead of having the windows of cars shatter with one shot, make bulletholes. And maybe a first person optional view when driving the car... None of that chase stuff...

Heres my idea for that.
When you steal a car people will pull out a cell phone and call the police. If you get away, the next time you are pulled over the police will arrest you because the car is stolen. Some cars could have Lo Jack and OnStar so the car can be tracked.

Did nobody read what Mika Mo 25 wrote... i know it sounds weird, but has a tad bit of proof.... how cool would that be if PS3 was launched with a GTA game... I know it sounds a bit far fetched... but there hasn't been any confirmed information about the PS3 or any games yet... so you never know it could happen.
P.S i think a destructable environment would be a bad idea with all you nuts playing the game lol
Well, there are a list of launch games for the ps3.
Edit: I dunno if anyones mentioned this, but on gta4.net they say the gta 4 release date is october 2006. How do they know this? Dunno.
^^ Yeah I noticed that just a minute ago. Wow... GTA4 near the PS3 launch or AT the launch? SWEET! Allthough as a pessimist i will say it wont happen. Since Iīve also read some "official" statements of GTA coming out in 07...
whitey__rolls
10-31-2005, 05:57
Ya how can they say that the Game will Launch in October 2006 when some pessimists are still saying the PS3 won't be out until 2007... and i don't want to be one of those people because beilieve sony will deliver and bring it out in Spring and hopefully in march 2006, but i think that's a bit of a bold statement for the game, when we don't know for sure if there will be a system out to play it on

Very true. However, it's not bad to get your hopes up in this case. Nobody knows. That's the whole fun of speculation. Nobody knows whose right or wrong. Sony Exec's have said again and again that PS3 will release in Spring of 06. But the only issue I have with this whole Xbox exec stating that it won't release until 2007 is that why hasn't anyone from Sony come and denied this? It's all very unclear for everyone right now.
whitey__rolls
10-31-2005, 13:46
Ya that's true about the Xbox exec saying it won't be out until 2007, i wouldn't really put a whole lotta stock in that either, it's just propoganda. But you are right Sony hasn't denied it, because they probably arn't sure themselves. If they were smart though they would get some concrete information out to the public before the 360's launch, or atleast before Christmas, or they could lose some gamers who are sick of waiting and wondering when and if they will ever see the PS3, or atleast in the near future
I would be very happy when the next GTA title would deliver that amount of detail in-game. I am not into Computer Science Knowledge at all in a deep level that I could say that that amount of detail would be possible with the combined power of the Cell and the RSX. So just want to hear some opinion on this from some geeks that have a decent / vague field of imagination of the PS3 graphics capabilities due to the info lack about the final PS3 architecture, the RSX design and the "RSX-Cell-Synthesis" ("Reality Synthesizer" = "Emotion Engine" in terms of PR in my eyes). Have an eye on the reflections on that black car...have seen the GT:Vision video ?? such reflections would be possible on the PS3...it would only depend on the amount of cars on screen at one time as also the PS3 has its limits...)
Would this be possible on the PS3 in real-time in-game ??? I hope so ;)
(these images are from "Driver: Parallel Lines", as you can see FMV pictures)
Of course the in-game characters would'nt have such a detailed face in terms of polygons but i guess some special mapping techniques should make this up.

Take into account that the Rockstar team is more focusing on a real world experience in their next GTA than on increasing the GTA world in terms of virtual kmē. The next GTA may not be that big like GTA:SA but much more detailed with an serious focus on physics. (read this in some interview some moth ago on GTA4, dont ask me i would'nt find it again). As Rockstar said they want to deliver a real world experience as deep as possible.
GTA would rock with that king of GFX!

Haha, trying to get help but bashing us as well, kinda funny.
I'm sure that the next GTA will be freakin huge, they can increase the real world experience AND the size as well. Those graphics are definately possible, especially by the time GTA comes out they will have a much better understanding of how to program for the PS3. Just take a look at a first gen NBA 2K6 game at http://www.gametrailers.com/ , the graphics look really good.

Ok, I have been hearing a debate about whether the next GTA will include better graphics or a bigger playing environment.
What would you think the next GTA to have: Better graphics or a bigger playing environment? What would you prefer? Why?
Keep in mind Rockstar has already said the next GTA will be about immersion.

10-31-2005, 20:05
I would prefer better graphics, and a bigger environment (to an extent). The graphics are a must. Personally i never thought the GTA from the past were too great to begin with, why? because the boards were too big for time to make "great graphics". So if it's one or the other I would prefer graphics i wanna see some great detail in an environment the size of SA. If it's possible to have both don't make the board too big, unless there are some more convenient ways of getting around.. i dont know about you all but it gets pretty annoying when you have to spend literally 15 minutes driving around to get to a specific location, then 10 more minutes going to another location etc... it's a pain in the Ass. So unless they could come up with some taxi service or something (an idea i read about) don't make the board much larger

Your obviously not like me, I want near perfect graphics and the whole United States for the playing environment.

Having the United States as a playing environment would just be my dream, I do not expect it to happen anytime soon. I do expect the graphics to be the best graphics when they come out and I expect a big playing environment.
Oh, well thats a given. If what we think of the ps3 is true, plus the ps3 comes with an HD it's almost like a ps3.5. It just sounds that good. So, for the next gta to not be the best of what is possible would just be a crime.
Edit: I just heard about the new GTA for psp and frankly, this pisses me off. It seems that right after they make one for the psp they told us they were going to make a new one but after about a year since the last GTA for the consoles, WE HAVE NO INFORMATION WHATSOEVER ABOUT IT...EXPLAIN?
whitey__rolls
11-01-2005, 01:41
Yes but you guys have to remember that the graphics will be directly affected by the size of the board. so if you want amazing graphics you can't have a board 5 times the size of SA (well maybe you can we all arn't sure yet but realistically no) I personally as i stated before would like the best graphics they can throw at me, even if the board is "small" (around the size of SA) even a bit smaller would be fine with me
Well... Iīm not sure if thats entirely true whitey.
Not like the game would always be rendering the whole map. Ok the draw distance has to be alot better so it would render more than GTA SA but still not the whole map. So what it doesnīt render (as far as i know) canīt really affect the graphics. So IMO it will be more like how detailed the world/area will be.
But yeah something around the size of SA would be just fine with me since i REALLY want to see some nice graphics. R* just needs to make more use of some of the wastelands.
whitey__rolls
11-01-2005, 14:53
Yes but we must remember will space be an issue? like disc space, we all know the blu ray discs should be large enough (unless they go crazy) but if this is a game that is meant for both systems, or if microsoft gets the right (highly unlikely) than they might only be able to make the game 9 gigs max,.. which then would put more restrictions on things like size and graphic quality
Hehe. Well a good reason to go exclusive to PS3 donīt you think? :wink:
Seriously talking yes it might be a problem, and i have no idea how R* will solve this. I just hope they wonīt need to limit the game because on PS3 because of this.
:|
More likely i can see them downgrading stuff to make it fit on a normal DVD.

no doubt and what's worse we don't know the Xbox 360's streaming abilities, sooo i'll be amazed if they can fit the same content onto a DVD9 if they go insane on the Blu-ray disc.
one things for sure it's going to give devs a headache when this problem arises.
whitey__rolls
11-01-2005, 15:39
I dont think they will try and downgrade a game to make it fit on the 360. Too much money involved is one reason. But also if Sony gets the exclusive contract and rockstar wants to make the "greatest" GTA ever they will be using maybe 15-20 gigs worth of space, how are they going to cut the game in half to make it fit the 360. And if Sony doens't get the exclusive the game will be no bigger than 9 gigs. Unless once again M$ allows rockstar to create a game that they can download onto their hard drive with one disc and use the other as a play disc. what you guys think?

11-01-2005, 19:54
How many gigabytes do you think the next GTA will take up on a disc?
whitey__rolls
11-01-2005, 20:08
It will all depend if it's going on both systems i would imagine 9 maximum. If Rockstar is allowed to do what it wants could be 15 - 20. I know what you are going to say SA was only what 4 or 4.5 gigs ... but nobody really know how big they want to make the next game, and nobody really knows the type of space these graphics are gonna take up.... it might only be 6 or 7 gigs who knows
I hope this games 15+ Gigs
smitty61
11-02-2005, 01:55
I hope they take up as much as it possibly can on the Blu-ray. And that way it would remian a ps3 exclusive.
Yeah, considering Xbox won't even utilize a next-gen disc format, I think it's safe to say the prime example of premium games(GTA) will be utilizing the blu-ray disc. I can't imagine Rockstar settling for less than the best.

I think they should use the D-Pad for choosing which weapon you want instead of having to cycle through every single weapon. I also would like to see the weapons on the people, if you have a pistol (or any other concealable weapon) you can put it in your belt, in your pants (front or back), holster, inside pocket of a jacket, or in your hand. With a bigger weapon (that is not concealable) you will have to wear a strap and put it around your neck or you can keep it out.
(2,500th post)
I want a backpack. So instead of scrolling through each different weapon, you can have hotkeys for them. I also hated the eating.
smitty61
11-02-2005, 22:54
I want them to making eating not mandatory. Also I think that they should keep out is having to do the insane jumps for 100% completion. They were out of GTA:SA and that was good.

11-02-2005, 22:56
Hot keys for weapons won't work. You already need basically ever button on the controller to play GTA anyways... if you want a button for the 5 different weapons you are carrying... you're going to need a different controller, and 2 extra thumbs

It was not used for anything besides changing the radio station while you are in a car.

Then could press down R1 and the button specified for that weapon.
I would also like to see people putting in the clip after the other clip runs out of ammo, and the other clip should drop to the ground.
Hot keys for weapons won't work. You already need basically ever button on the controller to play GTA anyways... if you want a button for the 5 different weapons you are carrying... you're going to need a different controller, and 2 extra thumbs
You can use the D-pad, or you can press R1 plus other buttons.
I was thinking holding down R1 and then hitting a D-Pad button.

Aww yes I guess that would work Nomar... good thinking lol....
I like the hidden packages personally... well i don't like looking for them but i like the rewards. My biggest pet peeve (in vice city atleast) is when you get those calls on your cell phone and you can't do anything except wait for the conversation to get finished, and some of them are just too long, like when Lance is bitching... no more of that please

Have you played San Andreas? Cause you can hang up the phone anytime you want by pressing triangle and I seem to remeber to be able to do that for the PS2 version of VC, anyway you can in SA.
Personally, I liked what they did with the d-pad in SA, I don't use it anymore anyways. Some people in these forums ask for a little too much, remember folks, its just a game!!! Some stuff that would make it more realistic would make it more boring like having to pick car locks even though I think you should be able to break any cars window and get in to drive whether its locked or not. Limiting the number of guns would be boring espcially if I can't just pull out a grenade launcher and blow up some FBI, but I guess with the PS3 graphics, it will look silly if guns can't be loaded realisticly and they just appear magically. But I always loved having a whole arsenal of wupp ass at hand whenever I wanted it. And some said...Going shopping? what the heck is that about, keep GTA... GTA, Please.

Here is my idea for that.
There will not be any custom radio stations, instead you must buy a MP3 player to be able to upload music from the PS3's hard drive. Maybe Rockstar could license out the Ipod for the next GTA.

As I have said, I think money should be spared acordingly, so even buying an Ipod could take money down that you may need, we shouldnt get alot of money for easy things, people shouldnt drop money unless they are ultra important, it should take us a long while to get our first house, and then we begin making proper money after a long while of hard work, only then can we become millionaires in the game, but we must start real crap, and take a LONG time to get up, not just going to the horse tracks and betting, winning millions at the start.

The missions that you are doing something for a friend or for yourself you should not be payed for, but if you are being payed for a mission then you should get paid. For taking out some guy at a club you should get $100 but for killing someone important you should be payed more ($1,000-$50,000). If you are doing a mission for yourself and you must steal a shipment of drugs that could be worth $1 million you must sell the drugs for a reasonable price you choose to earn that money, your options are to deal it or supply other dealers and distributers and you may find the DEA trying to crack down on the case so you may have to get rid of the drugs quickly.

I wish they would allow you play as a cop. You could go the good cop route and only bust bad people in the right way and move up in the ranks faster and eventually have a anti gang squad under you. Or the bad cop, skim off the dealers... Kinda like The Shield. For this to work and work well (none of this True Crime crap) there would have to be huge amounts of crime on different levels at any given time. You could bust a hot chick speeding and get a BJ to let her go, or you could start busting street crime and work your way up into undercover mob work. The more I type the less I like this idea. :lol: Anyway maybe it would be an interesting side mission, go through police academy and cruise the streets a while. Make some friends in high places to get you out of a tight spot. OH OH OH, also if you get busted and sent to jail, you would actually enter the jail and shank other criminals(of course the time you spend in jail couldnt take long. Like maybe a 5 year sentance plays out in a couple hours. Then when you get out you have new contacts from the inside. I dunno just rambling here. :D
That sounds like a good multiplayer mode. Like I've said before, if GTA Multiplayer was just a huge game of cops and robbers, that would be fun as hell.
Perfect Sin
11-05-2005, 05:01
Yeah, It's about time they make GTA co-op or multiplayer.
At the start screen they should have an option where you can play 1 player or 2 player co-op.
smitty61
11-05-2005, 14:23
Yes and also on that screen there should be an option to play online.
don't know could reck the traditional openings of all GTA games, straight to the meat of the game loading the last load file you saved with.
when GTA starts with that options before pressing start bull crap, takes away part of the openness of the game.

Well I really want there to be a start menu so i dont always have to wait while the game loads the game just to notice its the wrong save file. :lol:
A cool part about having online on GTA IMO would be the capability to kind of create your own mini games.
For example have one guy on a motorcycle/bicycle and everyone else in cars trying to knock the guy down.
Follow the leader with BMXīs, Demolition Derbys, Races from one end of the map to the other, etc...

I'm not the greatest fan of Grand Theft Auto. While the gratuitous violence is initially quite amusing to watch, the game's non-linear approach actually makes the game really boring to play for long periods of time. I really enjoy the radio stations, though.
So for my next gen GTA, I'd like to see Rockstar using the PS3's online capabilities by letting us stream real life radio stations in the game. For example, because I'm English, I could listen to Radio 1, XFM or Classic FM.
I'd also love to see a multiplayer mode or even an online multiplayer mode. It could become the biggest and most violent 'MMORPG' ever. Just imagine being able to fight your way through gangs in the online city - gaining reputation as you go along. If you get lots of reputation, you're able to recruit gang members who can run errands for you and can take out opposing gangs.
It would be great if you could make your own advertisements then place them around the city for everybody online to see. You could even design graffiti tags for your gang and spray them all over the city, Jet Set Radio stylee.
Just think of the power trip you could have if you become one of the most notorious criminal ringleaders on GTA, owning sordid businesses like brothels, strip clubs and drug trafficking at the docks. Imagine being able to party with other criminals in a nightclub (complete with real music and lots of dancing people) to do deals with them. Or even to snort a few lines of cocaine in the bathroom :!:
The possibilities for the next GTA game are almost endless. If they even incorporate one of my ideas in their game, I'll go out and buy it.

It would be cool if they did Europe if they had maybe 4 seperate sections (kind of like SA) but had a long ass highway that takes quite a while to drive down (or fly if you were smart) and have maybe 4 major cities connected, like London, Paris, Rome, and Berlin give a different flavour to the game... the only downside is I prefer the Mafia (NY, Miama) than the Gangster approach (LA) but if you had it in Europe what could you make it? the Soccer Hoodlum approach... I guess you could do Mafia again and have it based in Italy.. but who knows

I hate to sound like "a stupid yankee", but I would prefer the next GTA to stay in America. I would rather the next GTA have a gangsta storyline like in San Andreas, but like I said many times before I do nto want the next GTA to take place in Los Santos, I want the next GTA to take place Los Angeles and greater Los Angeles. It should be an exact copy of Los Angeles and greater Los Angeles. But I do not want to stay in Los Angeles the whole game, I should have an option to leave Los Angeles and go to other cities (from all over the world).
lol, buying an Ipod in the game:P,, it's a kool idea!!! But the only things that gives me doubts about the next gta, is if it will be as good or even better than GTA SA, 'cause I still am addicted to that game!! But on the other hand I trust rockstar so much that they offcourse will bring a even better gta:D
I want the next gta to stay in America, 'cause that's gangsta, but I would really like them to have some real mountains in the next gta, something like the alps, and the 'alps' there a city or something!
I would like a GTA in Rio de Janeiro, ímagine how it could be doing missions in the favela. do I need to say more!

Grand Theft Auto should come home! I know GTA 2 had an expansion pack that was set in London, but it truly deserves to be made into a full 3-D game, complete with beautiful structures like the houses of Parliament, the Tower Bridge and the London Eye.
I'd LOVE the game to be set in the fifties or sixties, at the height of the notorious Krays' criminal escapades. It'd be brilliant driving really old cars and interacting with true cockneys. London in the fifties/sixties is almost synonymous with crime itself, so it's only natural that a Grand Theft Auto should be set in that period of time.
A GTA MMPOG?? I thought about it a long time.. but how many ppl would you want to have online?? IN a gta as big as SA?? IN such a GTA there must be enough to do, it takes soo much time do make it, and there must be enough ppl online..

I really do not think the next GTA will take place in London. just because if it did it would be compared to the Getaway and I do not think that is what Rockstar wants.

Personally I have to agree with adamba4e. I want the GTA series to stay in America. Sure England might have some interesting places but I just canīt see GTA fitting England... (Maybe one of the reasons I hated True Crime.)
Also I donīt want a ganster style game like SA. Sure SA was maybe the best GTA game (with the most stuff to do) but if I would have to pick my favorite just by the story mode then VC would win clearly.

Wouldnt it be shocking if GTA4 became a launch title and it has been just in the works and has been quietly worked on and then BAM at one of SONY's meetings before the launch of PS3 a big screen Trailer in real time of GTA4.
though i dont know about vice city or gta3 but it wouldnt follow the San Andreas game which Rockstar gave tidbits of info at different times, but if they did do this then it would really help the PS3's launch.

So I think I'm going to have to agree and say that I would like it to stay in America. Maybe Houston, Seattle, and a better Las Vegas. I would also like to be able to visit San Andreas, Vice City, and Liberty City by way of plane and such.
Now my favorite of the games was GTA III and I loved that srotyline. I think they should bring back the Mafia gameplay and instead of having just one story-mode you should be able to choose which group you will be a part of. You could go work for the Mafia, join/creat a gang, or even choose to be a good/bad cop.
I really can't wait seeing some movies of GTA4 on the ps3:D sjies, all the gta's i've ever played where soooo koooll/awesome. Come ON R* give me that ****ing game!:P

There are rumors about a Rockstar North recieving PS3 dev kits as early as August 2005.
I think I have found a release date for Grand Theft Auto 4;
"Will the company soften GTA content?" he asks. "It seems unlikely to us that this will happen. Still, pressures will mount and scrutiny will intensify surrounding the next release of GTA, which is scheduled for October of 2006."
http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=10299
The last 4 Grand Theft Auto's have released in October, so this does seem very realistic especially if Rockstar North has has dev kits since August.

It will make the PS3 the winner in just a year..

It would be better for both companies to do that becuase Sony will sell more ps3's to those people who were waiting for GTA and Rockstar would sell more because it is a launch title.
gosh i do and i don't hope this happens.

Sony would already be having stock problems as it is, people rushing even more to get the latest GTA game would not do so good.

But if they do rush and release it next year will they be hurring it and making it not as good as it could be. I would wait longer if it meant that GTS4 would be the best game it could be. I hope they do not rush to make it our earlier and make it not to it's max capabilities.

Adamba4e... i understand why people would want to keep it in America and that's fine with me i was just offering a different approach, but people are right if it does to got Europe it will be compared to other games.. But if they do keep it in America they better go back to the mafia theme. I just think it would appeal to more people than the hip hop/ghetto gangster theme.. but meh maybe that's just me. But realistically and i don't want to racial profile but I'm going to these consoles are made for middle class america and rockstar should appeal to it's main audience to sell the most games
On some gaming site i have read some time ago that there are rumors of GTA4 having chances of taking place in europe.
In my eyes there would only come into question Poland (established car stealing mafia, crap, every cheap wannabee gangsta is stealing cars there. As i have relatives in Poland i come to hear some funny stories about car stealings. A friend of my father got out of his car just for 5 min. to make a call. When he came back his car has gone...hell, there is the rumor that some guys from the car mafia are just waiting at the border from Germany and Poland to pursue the "interesting" cars like Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, VW Phaeton etc.) There is the saying: Make vacation in Poland. Your car is already there waiting for you ;) In addition to this there is also the drug business and all the standard suff... and i guess also the dealing with organics as its already quite common in Russia.
You must know, Poland has a tough fight with corruption so you can only imagine how many doctors or even departments of hospitals are involved in this immorally business with human organic...
But i guess that GTA4 will keep on using an U.S. City as playground as America is the country where GTA is the most anticipated and beloved franchise.
Personally I rather care of the graphics and gameplay in the upcomin GTA4 than the area it will take place...
Here some nice car related pics:

I have always suspected a October 06 launch date for GTA4 (or whatever it is called) Since all but London 69 which was an expansion have been released in October it makes a lot of sense. Also Since R* North have had the Dev Kits so long it is another indicator that Oct. 06 is very likely. All I can say is that as long as it isn't rushed, it will be my favorite game ever hands down and i say that because I have faith in R* and every GTA game has been better than the previous IMO, plus of course the PS3! :D

I think it will stay in the US because that is where it has always been (besides one in London) and that is where most of the consumers are. People from the US will buy it if it is in their city because Americans are like that and like to see their city on video games and such.

I'd like to see it give the option to play different characters. Rather then the same one through the whole game. But you can choose to follow one character through the whole game if you choose too. This will also give the game alot more reply value.

11-07-2005, 02:50
And when you choose different characters each one has a different story such as gangster, mafia, police, etc. and in order to get 100% completion you must complete all story modes. And they should all link back to each other.

My point is Australia is much to nice to hold a GTA game. I mentioned doing a game in Toronto and people pounced all over that because it's not a violent enough city. Why? Because people only get shot every other day in Toronto unlike NY, or LA

well, I think the makers of the biggest magazine in the country, will see the next gta at E3 '06, that's almost for sure. And I think we will see somethin' like trailers in summer 2006, a month or something after E3....
Latest rumour is Microsoft are plotting to make this an xbox 360 exclusive.
That will be the last thing to happen I think, what is possible is that the next gta comes on the 360 and the ps3, but the most likely is the ps3 coming about 6 months before the version of the 360
Latest rumour is Microsoft are plotting to make this an xbox 360 exclusive.
Sure... And the PS3 will be a plugin part for the 360.
I just canīt see that happening.
IMO itīs going to be multiplatform or a PS3 exclusive. Right now Iīm leaning towards multiplatform but who knows...

We've already talked about which platform it will be on many times over. and cities as well but i'm going back to it... i was thinking today you know what would be good. is if it went back to Liberty city (even though i liked VC the best) I just think the new york version of gta got kinda ripped off cause it was the first game for gta on the ps2.. i think they could do some great stuff with liberty city on the ps3

I hate Liberty City it was my least favorite of all the GTA cities. I have a feeling will get a good taste of everything in the next GTA because with Blu-ray Rockstar has the capacity to do as much as they want. We will probably have a lot of big cities, and I have a feeling that Rockstar will make real cities this time. The reason why I believe Rockstar did not make any of the previous GTA's in real cities is because they did not want people to compare the the real city from Rockstars version, but now I think Rockstar has the resources to build a real city that is a near exact replica of the real city.

Um eventually rockstar will run into a problem. Since PS3 is using blu-ray and can hold loads more of info and game content than the 360, will then rockstar opt to make it a PS3 game because eventually they wont be able to fit the PS3 version of GTA onto the 360 discs. I dont know if this is a stupid thought but it sounds like it makes sense to me. And doesnt PS3 have some sort of right on GTA until like 2009. And the PS3 would make it possible for something like a whole world instead of just a state. I dont think the 360 has the capacity to do that. Imagine like GTA:International or something.

i think Rockstar would be able to fit a non limitated PS3 style GTA onto the Xbox 360, but there could be serious limitations, like physics etc.
I thought Capcom couldn't do a near perfect port of resident evil 4 from Gamecube to PS2, it amazes me what devs are able to achieve.
I guess the real question is... is porting GTA over to the Xbox 360 worth the headache?

Yea but the blu-ray holds something like 50 times the amount of info than a standard dvd. thats a lot. does the 360 even have the capacity to play HD-DVDs? i dont think it does. it seems like they would possibly just have to make two seperate games. which probably wouldnt happen.

you only have to look at the PSP to see what they can do.
the PSP holds 1.8 Gb that's basically Gamecube disc space, although i'll admit they could have compromised with the graphics, but it's the whole of GTA on a Gamecubed capacity disc.
But yeah it is two different consoles so people would underline all the differences.

It would be stupid for Rockstar to make it a Xbox360 exclusive because most of their sales happen on playstation. they would lose money and not like it. It would be better if it was a ps3 exclusive so then they can use the full space of a Blu-Ray disc and make GTA4 the best it can be.

I wonder if Rockstar will had an online element to the next GTA. Imagine whole gangs fighting each other online, mafia v triads, biker gangs v yardies. That would be quality. You and 3 of your pals break into a car and drive off to cause havok at a gang base across the other side of the city. Or have a huge aerial assault with people parachuting into down from the sky armed to the teeth with all kinds of weapons.

There have been some strong rumors about online in the next GTA. (IMO Nothing is for sure yet)
But as Steroyd would say: "If the PSP can do it, why not the PS3" Or something like that...
If they do add it GTA will be the best game EVER. No doubt about it. Ohh... Just noticed something... If they do add Online to it what do you think theyīll do with the aiming system? I mean it would be kinda dumb to have it on auto aim. How is it in GTA LCS?

Don't know what its like in GTA LCS, but I reckon if they go online they could take a leaf out of Capcoms Resi 4 targeting system. Its pretty accurate and you could still get those perfect head shots, but they would also be an element of skill involved.

Do you think Pay N Spray should be in the next GTA?
Pay N' Spray, 8 ball, Scrap yard, car dealer ship (or import/export), and businesses that you have to maintain are a must for the next GTA.
Rockstar need to get the "post mission" part of GTA right, to give it longetivity, because i felt with GTA:SA after i completed it...that was it, had a little go with the terrotories, but got bored and had to leave it for a bit until i had another go.

The 8 Ball bomb shop , scrap yard, car dealership should stay but Paint N' Spray should be taken out and in its place it should be easier to get away from the cops, so all you would need to do to get away from the cops is out maneuver them drive fast and lay low somewhere when the cops are not right on your trail.
I have a new idea for a owning a car dealership, you can stock your cars by ordering them from the car company, buying at auctions, or stealing cars and replacing the VIN numbers. You can sell the cars at any price and if the car does not sell you can bring it down to a chop shop, lower the price, keep it yourself, or bring it to a import/export center.
hmm... i don't know Pay N' Spray is like a trade mark of GTA it'd be a bit wierd there not being one :|
But there should be various ways of dodging the police that i'll agree, but once it hits 3 star they'll have your ID (or what type of car you drive) and a picture or something, so it'd be hard to ditch the cops in the current car you have.
Guess there should be various methods of getting heat off your back, anyone with ideas?

I also think to teach the player some driving maneuvers there should be a easy mission (that you are not paid for) to go a racing school, at the racing school a guy who was a former gang member will teach you some manuevers.
If you have seen the Transporter or Transporter 2 you eill know what kind of driving skill I am talking about.
There are serious doubts by many developers wether or not the 360 will be as successful as MS is hoping. There's no way R* would make a deal that would decrease their profits in that sort of magnitude. Estimates say, that more people will support the PS3 than the 360. They would never take that risk.

There was a driving school in San Andreas, this would just be a little mission where you learn come maneuvers.
i say they should introduce the geo mod (correct me if im wrongin name) so it is more realistic like when u fire a rocket lancher at a wall it will blow up i mean that would be kl and maby when a car blows up it aint a shell frame thing still there

They did have that kind of stuff at the Driving school in san Andreas. Also the move your crove the mor eyour driving skill increased. I think that they should keep the schools in and leave them just as they are. There is no need to change them.

i do like the idea of having to get away from cops by using special driving skills then having to lay low like in a secret hide out or something. i also want to see a little more realism in the GTA games. like if you throw a grenade ata house and it catches alight it should burn down completely. just stuff liek that would make it better i think. also graphics could be improved i know they cant improve it greatly due to the fact thats its such a massive game but better graphics would be nice

I notice many canadians here showing love for GTA, what happened, I though all y'all were peace lovers. j/king. :D
Anyways, I would love to see a more complex 8Ball's Shop with more to choose from other than just a bomb. Like being able to put a device in cars that disables breaks, for instance, you could steal some car, put the device on it, watch them drive of and just crash into things till they die or something. :lol:

Ya we Canadians are peace lovers don't you worry... we rather kill someone in the game, rather than in real life... take all our aggression out on Video games. and ya that'd be a good idea with the cutting the break lines... saves me from getting blown up using a car bomb (only happened once but it was embarrassing) lol

Yeah that would be awesome, there is this mission in Grand Theft Auto Liberty City where Paul Sindaccos car is rigged with some device that allows you to control his car. It would be nice to have another mission like that where you must drive to an 8 Ball bomb shop and get the device drive the car back, or you could get the bomb and hook it up there without moving the car. After you wait for him to get in the car and you must complete some task.
while playing liberty City stries, i realised how linear the mission are.
don't get me wrong you've got a playground to play with, but you know you've got to do a particular mission instead of choosing yourself.
I really hope Rockstar Bring back GTA1 where you do the missions bsased on which gang loves you the most by killing their rival gang, and you have to earn so much money before you go to the next island, that way the game has more depth to it.
^^ Yes good points there, I think a GTA game that was more realistic but not over-board would be a great game for ps3.
They should take their time on making the missions
More in-depth missions not just going from point A to point B
Make a reason for doing each thing; life-like situations that you would face if you were selling drugs or in a gang
Make it harder to work your way up in the game
police chases more intense....the list goes on

Definetly the way it is now with better graphics. and some more ideas added in to the game. If they did a complete over haul of the game it wouldn't be the same, it wouldn't be GTA
Same here, theres no need to think up of manufacturers because it would just be abit of a waste of time, i would love to be able to put the roof up and down on a convertable however so i can assist you in hiding from having a 1 star.
after playing gta sa for about 6 months, i had seen it for a while. But today I had to, just had to, play gta sa again and right from the beginning when I started the game , I just couldn't think of something else then the gta which is coming next year :D , i hope we will see a trailer soon because since the first trailer of gta sa came out I couldn't see anything else then the trailer.......that's .... well addiction:P
i would like it if people just look at a car that you put in the midle of the street, and try to take it after a while.
say you 8 ball a car, well after tat it's hard to find people who actually would go in the car and take it away, or you can remote control a car insted of those gimpy R/C cars tat are so hard to control. :?

I would like it if each and every building you come across you could enter and explore, and they would have to be detailed too and all have an individual look. So it feels like a proper city, not like a film set where only the front is seen. I liked in GTA 3 where you could burgle houses but I found those missions a bit pointless, because I could make more money at the betting shops or the pimp missions & you couldn't access the houses in the daylight.
whitey__rolls
11-10-2005, 14:38
The only problem is. If you could enter every building it would be impossible to find all the things there are in the game. Example hidden packages, Kill Frenzy's (old school)... things of that nature... it would be impossible to find these if they could be hiding in the buildings of GTA

Could be possible, but would exclusive truly mean exclusive or would it mean the PS3 version comes out six months before the 360 version.

It'd be good if you could have some sort of psychological effect on your criminal friends or pedestrians dependant on how ruthless you are. For example - if you walk around the streets hammering people to death with a baseball bat, people will cross the street or look away from you if you walk past them.
I'd like to see a notoriety meter which gauges how much respect you garner from your antics in the city. This, in turn, could affect how the game plays. People will become more wary of you and even criminals might become reluctant to give you new missions. I suppose the notoriety meter is similar to GTA2's gang meter, where you could work for one specific gang by killing opposing gang members. Conversely, the more notorious you become, specific criminals will be more likely to deal with you and will give you gifts in return for your loyalty (cars, weapons, property etc).

Why not make a turn away from the "gansta" life or the "mafia" life, and put us into the role of a hitman self working dude?, no offense but another game set in Los Angeles with me hearing another "ah yo homie" or "hey homes" or "lemme see if you have real cohones" in it, then I will feel that the GTA series has just lost its touch with me, it started out great, I dont want to see it go down a path of "homie ganstas". Maybe if it was in Los Angeles it can be outset and not all focused on just the ghettos.
What I wanna see is the ability to make your guy look the way you wish, and put him out there for hire by anyone, this means ANYONE, the feds, police, mafia, gangs, agencies ect to do certain missions that can change the outcome of the story, then somthing critical happens in the story and thats what its set on.
naah, I want something new, and btw Dan Houser said in an interview he saw GTAIII, Vice City and SA as a trilogy and when they asked if there would be a next gta he said: We are now only focussing ourselves on GTA SA and with that game we will end the trilogy, so I think he will start a new trilogy :D

There should be a few missions where you take you take the job of a hitmen.
Hitman: 1 : a professional assassin who works for a crime syndicate.
It seems as if you are confused about the word hitman, or you really would just like to kill people. As a hitman you would just take a job to kill someone and leave, it would get quite boring.
yeah, excatly
so the next GTA should be set out so you are either a gang member (gangsta, wide varitey, free roaming) or in the mafia (classic, organized, more professional)....even though theres been gta's set on these, either way its still gunna turn out to be one of the greatest games for ps3.

No but i would love to see the game allow you to walkinto say a quicky mart lol or 7-11 and buy a big gulp slushie and then while your in there some othe hoodlum try's to rob the joint and you could take him out and ear respect from the shop owner and get some sorta rewards if you save the shop a few times and then they pay you like a protection fee when you help them enough and no one wants to mess with them anymore cause they are afraid of you lol. i think more places like this would be cool and they could have a cell phone # for you and you could come in all rambo style lol

Be cool if they done a GTA outside America. Triads in Hong Kong. A Yakuza story line in Japan. I would like the freedom to go around Kula Lumper myself nice city that or Singapore. However I think its more likely it will end up in US. Maybe New York and Washington DC this time around where a lone desperate CIA agent has to go outside the law (and steal lots of cars) in order to save the president!!!!

I think that because that was the end of a triliogy they are going to come with a whole new storyline with a totally different type of "boss". So it won't be mafia, gangster, or taking over hte town. It will be something totally different and the gmae is going to be the bets to ever come out.

Some guy rocks. He gets all the ladiez.
On topic:
I hope this is true. But as of now, i see it as nothing but a rumor. I'm so glad Rockstar is no longer confined to DVD9 especially on a powerful next gen console. So much more is possible now. I would be scratching my head if they didn't use it. That AND GT4.

Why not make a turn away from the "gansta" life or the "mafia" life, and put us into the role of a hitman self working dude?, no offense but another game set in Los Angeles with me hearing another "ah yo homie" or "hey homes" or "lemme see if you have real cohones" in it, then I will feel that the GTA series has just lost its touch with me, it started out great, I dont want to see it go down a path of "homie ganstas". Maybe if it was in Los Angeles it can be outset and not all focused on just the ghettos.
What I wanna see is the ability to make your guy look the way you wish, and put him out there for hire by anyone, this means ANYONE, the feds, police, mafia, gangs, agencies ect to do certain missions that can change the outcome of the story, then somthing critical happens in the story and thats what its set on.
There should be a few missions where you take you take the job of a hitmen.
Hitman: 1 : a professional assassin who works for a crime syndicate.
It seems as if you are confused about the word hitman, or you really would just like to kill people. As a hitman you would just take a job to kill someone and leave, it would get quite boring.
Perhaps you didnt fully get me, I mean you can be hired as a hitman, but also alot of other things, like a driver, a bodyguard, to investigate a certain thing for somthing, I mean it should be like you have your guy out on hire for all types of different jobs for anyone and everything in the underworld crime types.

11-11-2005, 04:13
That would be cool. Because then you wouldn't have the repetition of all the same types of missions over and over again. that can become really tiresome if the yjust do all the same type of missions like they have done in the past.
Sypherssj209
11-11-2005, 04:16
Yeah, thats the reason why I had the idea, meaniing you still have a set story, and it can change with certain career paths throughout the game, say, in one game, you are hired to assasinate a crime lord, and so you kill him, and the person you killed him for respects you more.
BUT in another save, you could put yourself out for protection, and say that that same crime lord you assasinated hires you for protection, and you gain his respect, and not the person who hired you to assasinate him on the other save now knows you are an obstacle between him and the crime lord.
So many twists and turns, they could make it have like 10 different story twists and endings. :)

hey great news, didnt want to post a new topic when we have this one, sony just signed a contract or made one with rockstar that gives 8 full months of the next gta to ps3. that means ps3 will be the only thing that has the next gta for 8 months no pc no 360 no anything. i get a link to it in a second because the other forum was gap and i cant give the link to it. hold on but just wanted to let you know.

Now according to these to articles the next GTA will be a PS3 exclusive.
Just saw this off of digg.
GTA...One of the most violent games of all times....Sony...a multinational company, now having a really serious image problem due to the rootkit software scandal....PS3...the company's future gaming console. What do these three entities have in common?
They have a lot in common, at least according to the Russian site GameMag.ru. It seems that the Japanese have been in some sort of secret talks with Rockstar, and...the outcome is that they've managed to secure for their future console, the above mentioned PS3, 8 full months of exclusive use of the future title from the "Grand Theft Auto" franchise.
Imagine what that means in terms of sales, especially since the "exclusivity" part of the deal doesn't refer solely to other consoles, but also to the PC.Fans all around the globe will buy the PS3 in order to play the next GTA as soon as it is launched.
Well, if Sony wanted a publicity stunt for the launch of the PlayStation3, then this really is one of the best it could have come up with.
That mgiht mean it will be on the Xbox 360 after 8 months. That is the post on the GAP boards, now notice how there is link.

11-11-2005, 19:58
i was about to do that because i cant find a link and he hasnt replied yet, thanks adamba. and yea of course that means it will be ready for 360 after the 8 months or not there is a chance. but the ps3 launch is preaty far away mabe enough time to have it a luanch game for ps3 because now they are focused only on ps3.

Gamer Andy is reporting that an industry insider has confirmed for them that the next generation of Grand Theft Auto will be exclusive to the Playstation 3. Could be possible, but would exclusive truly mean exclusive or would it mean the PS3 version comes out six months before the 360 version. And quite frankly, as much as I loved the GTA concept I think its time for Rockstar to move the franchise (and gaming) forward to a new type of play.

Don't forget the real deal has not been disclosed, it may be 100% GTA exclusive (I have my figers crossed). Due to the capacity of DVD-9 Rockstar may not release the next GTA on the Xbox 360 at all.

It really doesn't matter if the next GTA gets released to the 360 and other platforms after 6 or 8 months anyways. As long as the game is designed for the PS3 there will be no Comprimises for the PS3 just other systems So this is good.
A tip for developers of the Next GTA please could we get some better AI. I'm sick of retarded AI with someone you are trying to save not following you, or them getting stuck on a wall etc. PLEASE Better AI... thank you

yea me too, this really is going to boost the ps3 alot. also if this becomes a lunch title, not saying it will, but if it is the whole bill saying realeasing the halo 3 the same day wont dao a single thing.

that is a great point and since rockstar said they wanted all the room the blu ray gives they might use it all and if it does happen to go others it will need to be toned down and alot of stuff lost so it wont be as good. finaly son makes a move its about time and it was a great one.

What sort of things would you like to see other people walking around doing? what sort of stuff do you want to see going on around you?
With the PS3's power.
do what normal people do, and see more couples, i swear i've only ever seen like one couple in my 70+ hours of playing GTA:SA :shock:
but there's a lot of people just chatting other people up.
oh yeah and people should be aware of you this time if your holding a gun, not just when you point it at someone, and police resond to you holding a gun also, like they just confiscate it or something.
adamba4e
11-12-2005, 15:54
and police resond to you holding a gun also, like they just confiscate it or something.
All the police should be able to do is ask if you have a registered, and you have a license or permit, besides that the 2nd amendment protects you from getting your registered gun confiscated but in some states it is illegal to have a concealed weapon.
What sort of things would you like to see other people walking around doing? what sort of stuff do you want to see going on around you?

I would just like to see them doing what normal people do.
I would like to see some more options for buying guns. I would like there to be more gun stores besides just Ammu-Nation, I would like to be able to buy guns illegally from some random guy in an alley and I would also like to be able to buy guns at gun shows.
Do you think you should be able to deal drugs i the next GTA?
All the police should be able to do is ask if you have a registered, and you have a license or permit, besides that the 2nd amendment protects you from getting your registered gun confiscated but in some states it is illegal to have a concealed weapon.
Should be able to get a gun licence from Ammunation, but who cares serisouly, thats what i dont want the next gen GTA to be, too real, i want it immersive and serisouse yes, but with all the jokes, humor and How on earth is that possible in real life physics.
adamba4e
11-12-2005, 16:50
I think you should be able to get a license at the police station and when you go buy the gun they perform the quick background check and then you just register the gun there.
they make the AI better because it's really stupid seeing a police man walking against a car and don't know what to do, and they must upgrade the police pursuits a lot that would be cool reallife pursuits!

That's a really good idea. I'd love to be able to drive past music shops and hear the music actually getting louder as you approach and quieter as you leave. I want to walk on the pavement to hear the doppler effect as cars drive past with music blasting out of their speakers. This could add a lot of realism to the game.
good idea indeed, but like you will be able to buy your mp3 and put them in the radio station you like! and offcourse be able to delete your mp3 from the radiostation!

I posted an idea like this earlier, you must buy an Ipod (great advertisement for Apple) and you can load all your real MP3 songs onto your (in-game) computer in the game and then sync them to your Ipod.
Draw distance for cars should be increased. Nothing worse than an nice car going out of view and just disappearing. Also traffic should be more organized with less accidents and no tractors on motorways please.

Colonel Cortez
11-12-2005, 20:06
Yeah that would be cool, being stuck in traffic on a Mission, so you either have to chrash your way through or get out of the car and jump on the car roofs. Or just sending a Bazooka shot in the middle of the traffic sending all the cars to the side.
One thing i would like is even better Planes, and even more of them. I would like the flying to be Ace Combat 5 quality. I dont know if anyone else posted a wish like this, but you cant seriously expect me to read through all 40pages of posts to find out.
PS3isforme
11-12-2005, 20:09
^ I agree with you exactly.
Yes, better planes would be awesome. Maybe some proper passenger-carrying planes? Wait that would mess with 9/11.... hmm..
And your traffic concept sounds awesome. Imagine sitting in traffic during a mission. As you said, Bazooka should would be best!
Not really, to recreate 9/11 you would need alot of things to happen the same. Not just jack a Huge plane and crash it into a building. Then Do it again. :D
whitey__rolls
11-13-2005, 00:30
awful awful awful... talking about 9/11 like that one day after rememberance day.. just awful.
now on a lighter note. Not just having cars dissapear on you when you turn around. It'd be nice if you could see them from far distances instead of having them just "appear"
Ability to sell drugs & buy them
You should be able to get drunk and stumble around the streets
When you hit a line of coke, it should turn into some bullet-time effect where if you get hit by bullets your health wont go down.....that should only last 20 seconds or something......this would be good when your robbing a bank you would have adrenaline and drugs flowing through your veins and it would just be a cool thing
police chases more intense/realistic.......cops way better AI
and a whole library of weapons not just like 10 in the other games i want like 50 weapons....you should be able to walk down the street and pick something up and use it as a weapon....like if you pick up a rock you can just chuck it at someone.

- Now that Rockstar will have...

I like some of your ideas but most of them would really take away from the flow of the game. There are also some that are almost technically impossible, like the daily news for example, what would be cool is if you could read news articles about yourself after certain missions. The ability to buy cd's alone is a marketing nightmare and will never happen, your best bet is to import your own mp3 collection. The gangsta theme is a bit played out and too cliche'd. Paying your bills in the game is also a joke. I really love your idea about the cops magically appearing, they should physically drive to the scene from the stations.

I do enough of that crap in the real world, games are an escape. I really dont want all that detail ( like filling my tank with gas, buying so much mundane things like an electric bill, registering my cars and guns) but i do like a lot of your ideas and hope it comes close to that amount of immersion.

Wow adamba4e, that's a lot of stuff! :shock: But I must agree with many of your ideas. However, as it has been stated before, too much realism can slow down the game. What I am trying to say is that it is a game, so if it becomes too realistic, then some of the fun factor is lost.
PS3isforme
11-13-2005, 14:47
Yes, I think some of the attention to the missions will be lost if they focus to much on realism. I think we should acnowledge that it is a game, but having a game like that seems possible for the PS4.

Rockstar are going to have to tread carefully with GTA4, what with the realistic graphics that the PS3 is going to be able to push out. If the game allows players to have too much freedom, they might just be able to recreate terrorist attacks (planes flying into buildings, grenades being thrown into underground rail systems) and anti-games crusaders will have the added impetus to denounce gaming once again. Who knows, we could even have sanctions imposed on games because of the impact.
Personally, I couldn't care less what Rockstar includes. If it were up to me, I'd have the game as realistic and gory as possible. But I'm not a child with irresponsible parents, or a maniac with mental health issues.
