GTA V News Thread - Special Edition & Collector's Edition Announced

[claud3]

Some new details surface on missions etc...

Dutch gaming website GameKings managed to get some face time with Rockstar

4

Games' Dan Houser to talk about Grand Theft Auto V. They've posted up their findings on a video to describe all they learned about the game during their trip to the studio.

GTA fans have since translated the video feature into English, with some new details about the game and some clarifications about what the press saw at an event recently held by the studio.

According to the feature, Houser confirmed that the scene in which press members who witnessed a gameplay demo of GTA V can see Michael sitting by the isn't a cutscene, but a playable section of the game. Likewise, the mission showcased to the press was real gameplay, and not a scripted sequence. Neither of these scenes have been shown to the public as of yet, and should not be confused with the game's second trailer.

Each character approaches a mission through different means. For example, Michael and Trevor approach the mission by helicopter, while Franklin gets there on his motorbike.

The game's switching mechanism gives players an indicator for each and every protagonist on the zoomed out map, which you can switch between. It switches between the game's three protagonists, Michael, Franklin and Trevor. The system is unscripted, so you'll be able to switch to these characters throughout the game. This differs from Heavy Rain's linear narrative, which forces players into the roles of the different protagonists throughout the story.

In line with GTA V's free-form gameplay, players will be able to perform heists and hijackings by following armored vans (displayed as money symbols on the map) and take the money for themselves. It's not too different from Red Dead Redemption in that sense.

Both Michael and Trevor are former bankrobbers with criminal pasts, and the much younger Franklin sees them as anti-role models.

Rockstar is said to have done a lot of research on the LAPD, and San Quentin State Prison. Presumably, these real life places will have analogues within Los Santos.

Interesting if there would be good tuning of cars.

[claud3]

sure would be... But the fact that Trevor, Michael and Franklin are not scripted to what they are doing in free-roaming of the city

Makes this a great experience indeed, because you do not know what they will be doing when you leap into them...

And the google earth type feature will be the main map i can guess and that is a great change from the old style of 2d map

[Cybertox]

I hope that after finishing the story there will be many things to unlock and to do. For example like unlocking tuning parts for the shop or unlock unique vehicles which are hidden in certain locations etc.

[claud3]

same mate... But then again you have an un-scripted charater base with all three and so it means, that if you change to one of them, they might actually have the hidden vehicle already and that is a wee treat

Argh dang!

Well, at least it is this year after all. I'm happy about that.

Thanks for that bit of news.

[claud3]

good, more time to fix bugs and put a lot more into the game.... I am happy for the wait and see what is going to be in the game by that time

Gives more time for new screenshots and trailers to be released and more info over the course of waiting..

I am not upset by this at all

[Two4DaMoney]

Sly cooper, God of war, army of two, the last of us, gta 5, ps4 reveal. This year is the best ever.

[Cybertox]

Its interesting how smooth the frame rate will be in GTA V on the playstation. In GTA IV it was horrible.

[claud3]

it was horrible on the XBOX 360 as well... So this will hopefully improve on this for both platforms

[Dave-The-Rave]

I can wait.

[Nitey]

Well, fuck.

I hope they port it to the next gen consoles with 60fps and all that jazz since it's been delayed by a good few months

[claud3]

so between now and then... The game will be more polish and off course not bug free, but at least the time put in

Will make it feel far more awesome

[MonkeyClaw]

Well, fuck.

I hope they port it to the next gen consoles with 60fps and all that jazz since it's been delayed by a good few months

That is the first thing that popped into my head too! It would be nice to have GTA V as a launch title on the next gen consoles!

[claud3]

doubt that will happen, since they have told everyone that it is on current GEN

it would make totally sense it for a next-gen launch title and not on current gen... But again they did state current gen

[ttech10]

To be fair, didn't they also say it would be out in spring? I still expect it to be on current gen though. I just don't think it would be that beneficial to have it on the 720/PS4 at release.

Well it would be for SONY/MS if gta v on the next gen consoles offered better graphics or even better performance than the current console version.

Here is an attachment on the main site about people being abusive and down right stupid

Hey all, we understand many of you guys are disappointed with this news – unfortunately sometimes such delays are necessary in all forms of entertainment, and especially in the case of a game experience as massive and complex as GTAV. However this does not give you free reign to be abusive in comments. The general rules of common courtesy, decency and behavior as listed above the Comment Box still apply here, therefore anyone continuing to post abusive comments will have their privileges suspended. Also for those of you asking about the official box art, that will be coming out a bit later as well. Thank you all for understanding.

Yea some people are just disgusting. As bad on the gta forums.

Some are so spoilt and just idiots. Wish they don't even get to play it :P

[MonkeyClaw]

While that is true, they could also throw a curve ball and have it on the next gen systems too! It would be stupid of them to say it will be out of the next gen systems this fall/winter since both Sony and Microsoft haven't officially announced their systems yet, but it wouldn't surprise me if they announce at E3 that it will be on those systems as well!

GTA 5 Is 'Deepest, Most Beautiful & Immersive World Yet' - Sam Houser

Adam Barnes

GTA 5 isn't out until September now, but for good reason. Apparently.

Published on Jan 31, 2013
GTA 5 now has an official release date, much to chagrin of Rockstar fans, but this is all for a good reason.
In the press release confirming GTA 5's release date, Sam Houser comments on the delay describing the upcoming open world shooter.

“Grand Theft Auto V continues to push the series forward in new ways,

" said Sam Houser; "Rockstar North are creating our deepest, most beautiful and most immersive world yet."
Sam Houser then added, “we are very excited for people to learn more about the game in the coming months.”

The press release then describes the game's "interwoven story" and how GTA 5 will "blend storytellign and gameplay in new ways".

It also makes mention of GTA's renown dark humour and satirical nature, as well as "a brand new and ambitious approach to open world multiplayer."
Sounds intriguing.
Rockstar is set to release GTA 5 in

this seems to be a new image attached

While that is true, they could also throw a curve ball and have it on the next gen systems too! It would be stupid of them to say it will be out of the next gen systems this fall/winter since both Sony and Microsoft haven't officially announced their systems yet, but it wouldn't surprise me if they announce at E3 that it will be on those systems as well!

If E3 is the place for the reveal of the PS4 and XBOX 720, then rockstar could still reveal it for the next gen... But also having it for the current gen as well

Would make no sense for it on both gens, but it could work out sales ways

Yea some people are just disgusting. As bad on the gta forums.

Some are so spoilt and just idiots. Wish they don't even get to play it :P

they certainly are, yes we are all annoyed and wis it was earlier, but that is the way it goes in any industry, things get delayed and that is that

The 8 month wait is worth it and yes a long time away... But we still have loads of games to play until then

[LfCpS3]

Image is very old :P

[claud3]

dead on, lost track of the amount that have been out

[nextgen3]

What a bold decision R* September isnt sping!! :/ just so you be clear on that for crying out loud!! i pre-orderd my copy early last year december time tbh with you, now its not out until 8months whats a load of crap like!! i was thinking march if anything!!

Whats the reason for the delays? why September? why say Spring?

So no Gamplay trailers until june/july then!!! or if anything just more bloody screens!

this is the last time im gonna be getting in to hype with this game, im sick of waiting an annoyed with all the delays come the next GTA im not gonna even think about it cause whenever i see it out ill get it that way instead of sticking to Rockstar's gut every 3/4 years.
