So I'm sure someone's going to be excited about this game. Personally I'm tired of Rockstar in general and I'm quite bothered by the fact that despite having 3 playable characters, they couldn't be bothered to make a single one of them female. On the other hand, people love this series and here is the 2nd trailer.

Haven't watched that yet, but I will admit that I would expect them to get on board with a female playable character. Especially in light of having 3 options.

Meh, not really surprised either, but somewhat disappointed.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #2 on:** 14 Nov 2012, 16:44 »

Are they all going to be playable in V, or is it going to be a one game/two DLC thing like the IV trilogy, with each game having one of those characters?

ackblom12 · « **Reply #3 on:** 14 Nov 2012, 17:04 »

All playable and you can switch between them at supposedly any time you want, instantly. They all have their own thing they're doing when you're not controlling them.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #4 on:** 14 Nov 2012, 22:06 »

So it's one part GTA, one part...Sims?

ackblom12 · « **Reply #5 on:** 15 Nov 2012, 17:54 »

Essentially. It sounds like a neat mechanic, but ehhhhhhh.

On that note, I just realized I have Vice City in my Steam library. I have no idea when I purchased it, but I am going to play some 80's Mobster comedy.

Jace · « **Reply #6 on:** 16 Nov 2012, 02:45 »

Vice City was so much fun. San Andreas was more fun only for the fact of trying to do some of the stunts on a bicycle was insanely fun for me.

TheFuriousWombat · « **Reply #7 on:** 17 Nov 2012, 18:18 »

I've always felt Vice City was the strongest entry in the series.

TheEvilDog · « **Reply #8 on:** 17 Nov 2012, 19:03 »

I might be the only one with this opinion, but I never liked any of the the GTAs. They always seemed so repetitive after a while.

Gregorio · « **Reply #9 on:** 17 Nov 2012, 19:06 »

I like the idea of having three playable characters palling around, instead of playing as one person, rotating between all of his friends for missions. GTA games always got a bit monotonous for me, as I kind of zoned out and did my best to get rid of all of the mission markers on my map.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #10 on:** 17 Nov 2012, 19:07 »

That's part of my problem with nearly every Rockstar game.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #11 on:** 17 Nov 2012, 20:59 »

Am the only one who thinks ever game has been an improvement on the last? Because I really do.

My problem with this logic is that it kinda seems like that change might be arbitrary. This isn't an RPG where character attributes significantly impact how players can interact with the world and the people in it (unless I missed something big) so the biggest potential differences (if the mechanics change at all) between the three that I can see are speed and strength (stronger-but-slower and weaker-but-faster for example), and maybe some missions that are only available to one them. That doesn't really sound all that exciting, and it also seems like a kind of faux-innovation, a new central mechanic that in reality is just a gimmick to avoid being called out on repetitive game design. There's obviously a solid chance I'm misjudging this, but at this point it seems like having three characters to swap between is just Rockstar making a couple additional character skins and trying to pass it off as something far more.

Gregorio · « **Reply #13 on:** 18 Nov 2012, 09:11 »

I'd be most excited if it was just a story thing. Like I said, I get tired of driving my one guy to the mob boss' house, watching a cutscene, then doing a fetch quest over and over. At least this way, my 3 playable characters can interact with each other, and it kills the monotony of the "drive here, watch cutscene, get mission, return." It's not a huge innovation, just something that could keep the game fresh.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #14 on:** 09 Jul 2013, 07:20 »

The first gameplay trailer has been released. I'm a bit more interested now that I was planning. The driving still looks like ass, but it at least looks better than previous games. I never have understood how the driving could be one of the worst control schemes in a franchise called Grand Theft Auto.

I'm also curious, does anyone here actually care about the online aspect of this game? I can't really trust my own opinion on this considering how little interest I have in online gaming period.

Cire27 · « **Reply #15 on:** 09 Jul 2013, 10:02 »

It looks like they're bringing back all the fun shit from San Andreas they took out for IV. Pretty excited.

RedWolf4 · « **Reply #16 on:** 09 Jul 2013, 15:28 »

Huh. That vid was pretty damn intriguing. I kinda like the whole plan your heists angle, and the character swapping looks slick.

Thrillho · « **Reply #17 on:** 09 Jul 2013, 15:33 »

I. Am. So. THERE.

RedWolf4 · « **Reply #18 on:** 09 Jul 2013, 15:55 »

See, if they play the multiplayer angle right, I reckon you should be able to steal from any heists that might be going on. Or have teams doing defend and steal. THAT would be epic.

Thrillho · « **Reply #19 on:** 09 Jul 2013, 16:04 »

That should be an option you can tick or untick. I'd hate my game being interrupted by shit like that.

RedWolf4 · « **Reply #20 on:** 09 Jul 2013, 16:48 »

Oh, of course.

Jace · « **Reply #21 on:** 09 Jul 2013, 17:00 »

Play no heists, spend entire time being family man.

RedWolf4 · « **Reply #22 on:** 09 Jul 2013, 18:45 »

*Cackles* Oh god, that would be HORRIFYING. And the cycling. . . all that lycra. . .

Masterpiece · « **Reply #23 on:** 09 Jul 2013, 19:01 »

See, I saw the gameplay video tonight and thought, "I HAVE TO MAKE A POST ABOUT THIS!!" So I'll just write Ninja'd!

Love Rockstar lots. Love it more now. I'm seeing some Max Payne 3 in that shooting sequence, which is awesome because shooting in Max Payne was slick. Love the lighting in the drive at night scene. Also, the way the car handled looked significantly different to GTA IV, color me interested.

Regarding Multiplayer, when I played GTA IV, I had a tight group of players going on, and we'd create a server with RPGs only and no friendly fire. We'd shoot each others, which didn't cause damage, but flailed us around the map. Hilarity ensued all the time.

The general rule of thumb concerning multiplayer is: If you have good people to play it with, it will be fun no matter what. Another rule of thumb concerning multiplayer is: Don't play L4D with AI players.

I really hope they don't overdo the social interaction like last game.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #26 on:** 11 Jul 2013, 23:41 »

I wonder what happens when you switch characters while you have a wanted level. Is there a chance that one of your characters could get busted while you're not playing him?

Masterpiece · « **Reply #27 on:** 12 Jul 2013, 00:08 »

Well judging from the gameplay video, switching characters can force you into a wanted level. It'd be only fair if you could switch out of one as well.

Jace · « **Reply #28 on:** 12 Jul 2013, 00:44 »

Pretty much every GTA game I do the same thing: unlock all the areas then forget that there's even a story mode.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #29 on:** 12 Jul 2013, 08:32 »

I just hate that this is coming out less than a month into my semester.

I'm going to have to buy a PS3 for this.

Fuck. Yes.

Just found this gem: Los Santos and Blaine County.

Seriously, the production efforts Rockstar puts in their games is unmatched by any other studio.

Stybar · « **Reply #35 on:** 23 Aug 2013, 13:37 »

Agreed.
Although I hope the map won't be TOO big. I know it's hard to believe that "too big" exists, but I have no interest in spending an hour just getting from point A to point B.

Pre-ordered it, btw. Game coming in the 17th of September, which gives me a week to finish it before classes start again

Method of Madness · « **Reply #36 on:** 23 Aug 2013, 13:45 »

As much as I hate not being able to play it until November (when I get my PS4), it's probably for the best, what with school and all.

Masterpiece · « **Reply #37 on:** 23 Aug 2013, 14:04 »

I thought the game was current-gen?

Method of Madness · « **Reply #38 on:** 23 Aug 2013, 14:09 »

Yeah, but you can download PS3 games on the PS4. Also my PS3 is broken.

The final launch trailer!

Masterpiece · « **Reply #40 on:** 30 Aug 2013, 02:17 »

...which was the only trailer I didn't like out of them all.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #41 on:** 30 Aug 2013, 06:43 »

I didn't dislike it, but honestly that was more of a first trailer than a last trailer.

Thomas Edison · « **Reply #42 on:** 04 Sep 2013, 03:16 »

IGN write up on their time playing it.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #43 on:** 04 Sep 2013, 14:01 »

So is there going to be a PC version so I can at least mess around with it before downloading it on the PS4?

ackblom12 · « **Reply #44 on:** 04 Sep 2013, 14:05 »

There will, but it's not coming out until a bit after the 360 and PS3 versions. Probably will launch with the PS4 and One versions, but there's no date for any of them just yet.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #45 on:** 04 Sep 2013, 14:11 »

Bah, if it ends up being a launch title for the PS4, and then the PC version isn't coming out until then, I guess I'll be waiting until November either way...which is the best case scenario.

bryntheskits · « **Reply #46 on:** 08 Sep 2013, 23:10 »

Every PC versions of the GTA game shave come out around 6 months after the console release so I think it will be the same here.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #47 on:** 10 Sep 2013, 15:35 »

Ok, I'm pretty sure this goes without saying, but no untagged spoilers, please.
