>>9501
ALL OF MY MONEY.

Rockstar is the only company that can generate so much Buzz form a simple logo release.

>>9501
Look at the Five.... It suggest GTA Britfa.gs

Trailer release on 2nd November? That's little over a week before the Skyrim release! Surely this must be a blatant attempt at sabotage on Skyrim's sales. Look at that, too, it's the fifth game in the series. Don't Bethesda have a trademark on the number five?

If I were Bethesda, I'd sue the shit out of Rockstar for this. It's only right.

>"features characters including a "Welsh monk/cult leader/yoga teacher""

Nepal massiv?

I hope it has a map the size of SA.
I got bored bloody fast on GTA4 despite fancy graphics.

What? What? They aren't milking it for a series of games like they did GTA III? Oh wait I guess they did a couple. But they're already moving on? People are still raving about GTA IV!

>>9507
Nah it looks like the engraved decoration you get on dollar bills.

>>9507
Ever since GTA london I've wanted a full GTA in Britain.

>>9517
I would have sex with the box if that were to happen.

Just think of it! All those tiny villages to drive to and destroy, fuck I'd have so much fun. It well never be though, no one will painstakingly recreate the entire of Britain and give it GTA Gameplay ;__;

>>9518
I wanted to say "Real life will have to do, then!" but I just remembered that one of my favourite childhood games was using the character model cheat to make myself into a granny and walking around beating up black people.

I can't become a granny in real life.

>>9517
The Getaway games did London well.

I always wnated on that took up the full lenght & bredth of the country though.

Last game was sort of shit to be honest.

>>9518
I was thinking more along the lines of a shoot out in Birmingham but those villages would certainly be on my list as well.

Unfortunately according to rumours on Kotaku this one is in San Andreas again; a leaked casting list has a plethora of Hollywood and hillbilly characters.

makes me think of las vegas.

>>9501
Rockstar know how to do this shit.

Cue a week of endless speculation and theorising from all corners of the internet.

Come trailer day, their site crashes due to the endless traffic. Guarenteed million seller.

>>9525
Well of course lad, it's GTA.

>>9501
If the trailer was released on the 11th of February, why hasn't anyone seen it?

>>9527
Very good.

>>9529

"an excellent post"

>>9531
Yes it was post excellent.

>>9501
Tomorrow at 4pm lads.

Prepare for not being able to see it til 7 or so when they get their servers recovered from the overload.

>>9658
And prepare to have an 80s song completely ruined by twits.

I really like that Astley song but I can't admit it without THOSE idiots.

mental to think this game is being developed just 5 minutes up the road from me.

I've heard a few of the employees like to consume alcohol in a pub called the conan doyle, which is situated near the studio. Might pop in and threaten them with a Molotov cocktail, see if i can loosen some tongues. I'm sure they'll appreciate the irony.

>>9659
I could be wrong, but I think Rick Rolling is very rarely done these days because most of the videos on YouTube have a 30 second advert beforehand.

>>9513

My thoughts exactly.

>>9521

It wasn't nearly as fun as San Andreas. I hope this new one sees the return of quad bikes / planes etc...

10 minutes lads.

>>9668
I've packed my rice in prep.

Been waiting for 2 hours.

2 minutes lads.

>>9501
AWWWWWWWWWWWWW HERE IT GOES

VICE CITY I fucking called it.

Well I suppose that looks quite fun.

http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/19341/grand-theft-auto-v-trailer-110211.html

San Andreas?

>>9674
Vinewood? Looks like San Andreas, m8.

I lol'd when I watched the count down go from 01 seconds to the pic attached.

Got it working, this looks good - more like San Andreas, golf buggies, planes, jetskis - big open areas.

Awww yeah.

>>9678
Pff yeah like I don't know my GTA.

>Not london
don't care.

>>9682
May I ask why?

>>9681

Vinewood is in Los Santos which is in San Andreas.

>>9684
Seems like it might just be Los Santos.

>>9501
The numberplates say San ANdreas on them, so I expect the next trailer will show off another city

>>9686
That's because states have license plates, not cities.

>>9683
Because I've seen all this shit before.

>>9688
But this time there are blimps!

Rockstar has a cycle that begun from GTA IV to current. They go from good game to bad game to good game.

GTA IV = bad
Red Dead Redemption = good
LA Noire = bad

If GTA V is there next game it'll be good but that means if Agent finally comes out after then it'll be bad.

VERY VAGUE SIMILARITIES

meh

>>9691
What was bad about GTA IV?

>>9706

It wasn't nearly as fun as San Andreas.

Yahtzee called it pretty right when he said Saint Rows 2 > GTA IV ... imho

5 looks like the GTA I was hoping 4 would be.

Hoping...

>>9706
GTA IV wasn't a bad game, it was just wasn't up to the usual GTA standard.

>>9691
L.A noire wasn't really a rockstar game, they just published it.

>>9710
They just went in a different direction. I enjoyed it as much as SA.

>>9710

I felt GTA IV was more of a dramatic title. The expansions feel so much more GTA-y it's unbelievable. None of this I AM UNHEPPY AFTER WAR IN HOME COUNTRY.

I'd give GTA IV maybe a 7/10 as it was enjoyable despite the soberness of most of it. If we were rating it as a new IP it'd get a 9/10.

High hopes for V.

The last good one was Vice City.

>>9501
Officially confirmed as being only Los Santos & surrounding countryside.

No full on S.A for you.

>>9720
It's not the same San Andreas as GTA:SA. Los Santos will be a proper city like Liberty in GTA IV instead of a tiny town. Remember San Andreas was originally a city rather than a state too, they just changed that so they could show off how big they can make their games. Doesn't mean this one will be smaller.

>>9720
The wind turbines and that oil driller are parts of the desert areas in SA. Plus some of the city scenes could be San Fierro.

Although it was strange they didn't show off Las Venturas.

>>9724
They issued a press release saying it was, as >>9720 said, "Los Santos & surrounding countryside". That's where the turbines and oil driller(?) were.

>>9726
Fuck that it isn't San Andreas without San Fierro and Las Venturas. I can't believe Rockstar have done this. San Andreas' biggest draw was the variety in environments.

>>9729
I think the whole 'surrounding countryside' thing is to give a variety of terrain. The trailer indicated that much. There just won't be 3 distinct cities this time, is what I assume they mean.

When is the game actually out? Does it have a release date yet?

>>9731
Nope, nor does it have an announced list of platforms.

>>9732
360, PS3, PC

Potentially Vita, Wii U and Sucessors to 350 / PS3

>>9736
I doubt it will be that long until release. Or maybe I just hope it won't.

the trailer reminded me of this short film/advert for inherent vice by thomas pynchon

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjWKPdDk0_U

The trailer looks rather nice, I wonder if GTA IV was more of a test then anything.

Either way I shall definitely be buying it, I'm due a game since I've decided not to buy BF3 or MW3. I just hope there is none of the mobile phone bullshit in it.

Normal cheats would be nice too, I haven't done more then 10 missions on any GTA since 2, I'd rather have a pigs off cheat once and just fuck about for hours instead of having to drag up a phone if you run a red light, let alone cross a bloody island.

>>9501
Oh, hi there.

>>9754
Oh sneaky rockstar.

>>9755

I don't get it.

>>9758
Apparently leaked shots of the maps, although they provide fuck all information.

>>9762
Oh you know apart from Las Venturas making a return despite Rockstar saying it wasn't going to be in GTAV.

If these images are real then LV will be DLC.

>>9520

>The Getaway games did London well.

Except you couldn't Free Explore properly because the police were always smashing into you.

>>9783
Dont drive like a buffoon

>>9784

They chase you even if you don't, because you're exploring as Marcus or whatever his name is.

The one thing that annoyed me about SA was, IMO, it was a missed opportunity.

In the original GTA, LC was New York, VC was Miami, and SA was Dan Francisco.

They kept LC as based on New York, they kept VC as Miami AND set it in tge 80s which was the best decade they could have done it....but then with SA they made it a mix of a few well known West coast cities. When ideally it should have been just San Francisco and set in the 70s, which would have allowed for references to Bullit, Dirty Harry etc.

Don't get me wrong, SA was phenomenal but I wish they had done it as San Francisco in the 70s. Maybe if they ever do one with the 'Always Mentioned Never Seen' Carcer City, that can be the theme?

>>10037
We've been to Carcer City in the first Manhunt game.

>>10038
Not to mention that Carcer City is in the same state as Liberty, so how it could possibly resemble San Fran is a bit puzzling.

>>10037

Would that not just be an entirely different game then?

I hate to seem like "that lad" but I have it on good authority (by which I mean we're damn well over due) that we'll be getting our second trailer some time in the next month.

>>10037
>When ideally it should have been just San Francisco and set in the 70s, which would have allowed for references to Bullit, Dirty Harry etc.

That would have been cool. But this was at a time where they were working on Red Dead, right? Maybe one scowling Clint Eastwood figure was enough for the devs.

>>13093
They did say they'd get back to other games after the the Max Payne 3 promotion was over.

WHERE IS MY BULLY 2?

24/05 is dawning, lads, which means a lot if you buy into that theory. Who thinks we're going to get some new info? I'm on the fence about the whole idea. It has been seven months after all...

>>13139
That long? Christ.

I'm still hoping for the reveal of San Fierro & Las Venturas.
LS & Surrounding areas can be as big as they want, but it just wont feel right if we're given a third of San Andreas.

I really hope this expands on GTA4 in the same way VC and SA did on GTA3.

GTA4 was just a next gen GTA3 with a better story and graphics. Gameplay wise it was almost a total downgrade from San Andreas.

>>13145
Looking at the trailer seems to suggest the right direction.
I just hope the radio isn't shit.

The beast is waking... slowly. Three more screenshots to come this week then the "table" on the V site will be full. I'm smelling another trailer countdown within the next few weeks.

>>13934
This is going to be this Generations Masterpiece, I guarantee it.

>>13936
Surely it's going to get released alongside a StarCraft II expansion, which rather makes a mockery of your guarantee.

>>13936
I'd go further, I'd call it this generation's Grand Theft Auto

>>13939
So, what was the best one of the PS2 generation?
San Andreas for me, with the lowest on the scale being Vice City. I dont get the love for it really. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the music etc, but the city itself if mostly big empty nothing. Useless airport, huge useless beach, all flat, and only one road where you can get up any speed at all n the 2nd island.

Fuck Skyrim

I'm going to San Andreas.

>>13940
Definitely San Andreas for me, I spent a ridiculous amount of time playing it, to the point where I could tell you the entire soundtrack off the top of my head. The obvious Boyz n the Hood theme was the best thing ever as a teenager. Driving full speed around the countryside in an oil tanker or the monster truck listening to K-Rose amused me for way longer than it should have. Also, a lot of people moan about the leveling up, but as a massive RPG fan I loved it, I didn't even mind how limited it was. I was gutted when I played IV and they'd got rid of it.

I liked Vice City more than III, but I think it was just the soundtrack and because I liked Scarface.

IV is my least favorite, admittedly I haven't played the DLC and I've heard they FEEL more like GTA, but I got incredibly bored by the base game.

Can't wait for this, I really, really hope we get the whole of San Andreas, if not I hope they Include more countryside than city. The problem with setting it in San Andreas again is that us who played the original game want all the cites, no matter how big they make that one city it will still feel limited.

>>13941
For I must be travelin on now....

>>13943
Too many places I got to see.

>>13942
Indeed. I've said all along that they'll reveal the entire map closer to launch. Surely they too realise that San Andreas is more than Los Santos.

Oh fucking hell, it's beautiful.
Could this be San-An with IV graphics?! This is making me slightly horny.

>>13942

I used to take great pleasure in de-railing the trains and beating the pool shark up when I lost a game.

>>13945
Everyone knows San Andreas is the name of one city.

>>13947
I'm hoping for trains to be back and drivable. I used to love cruising around San Andreas. Hope they introduce a wider rail network this time too. With abandoned lines that go up into the mountains and shit so I can collapse bridges.

>>13949

Ahh the neverending "I want X back" or "I hope you can do Y". This touches on a larger issue though.

I feel the GTA series has become far too limited in it's scope recently. The reason it was such a success to begin with is because it offered unprecedented freedom- With the technology of the time, the simple ability to drive cars and shoot guns wherever and whenever you please felt like the world was your oyster.

By now it should be like a kind of uber-game, one genre to contain them all. Player agency should be the one and only focus of it's development; if I can think of something I should be able to do it, by virtue of the fact that all the elements are present, I just need to influence them in the right manner.

Instead, GTAIV was just a HD re-make of GTAII, and it felt badly behind the times for it. San Andreas was already making so much progress towards this sort of thing, way back in 2004, it really makes me wonder why they scrapped it all.

>>13944
FREEBIRD

>>13952
Ah, so this is just a copy of Just Cause.

>>13953>>13952
By Christ. That's what I've wanted to see since San Andreas. A proper winding river, making it's way down from the mountains. Real rugged countryside should mean proper offloading.

>>13953

Guarantee you they've just copy and pasted it from Red Dead Redemption and jazzed it up a little but still, fucking better than the last one. I really do hope the rocket packs make a come back too.

I think Herbert Moon should be in the game.

Like, just there. No explanation of how he lived a century without aging. No explanation of how he jumped universes or ended up halfway across the country or anything.

Just HERBERT MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

>>13971
Little known fact: Herbert Moon was the true catalyst of WWII.

OT though, I bloody well hope there's something to look forward to over those mountains. As much of an achievement as it'd seem conquering one of the peaks of the ranges shown in the trailer / screenshots, I think it'd only be a disappointment if, when you finally reached the summit after destroying four SUVs and a dirt-bike, that there's something more substantial than endless ocean on the other side.

Been replaying San Andreas again after the recent screenshots.

Always a pain getting through the first couple hours, but when you get out into the open countryside, thats one of gamings finests utterly displaced feelings ever. completely out of your depth. First time I played it back on release I didn't know how the hell to get home, so just drove around getting lost and foolowing the roadsigns.

It's fucking on now, chaps.

...and so on.

Quadbikes! Customisable weaponry! Deserts! fit birdz! Spring 2013!

>>14341
This shall be the greatest videogame of all time.

GAME just leaked a bunch of promo material in the form of these neat Los Santos photo viewers. Look at this shit! They're also giving these and posters out for £5 pre-orders!

>>13942

I wish they'd done a San Andreas spin-off from the other side, where you're a corrupt LAPD cop trying to evade Internal Affairs and shaking down gangsters for their drugs and money.
GTA: Rampart Division.

>>14352
They already made a game of The Shield, mate, and it was shite.

>>14348
This is the one thats made me interested.

>>14356
Wow, skydiving? That's both new and innovative.

>>14357
Sorry fun police. Tell us again how BRILLIANT you are for liking obscure video game #4353 from 1987 and how modern games are all shite compared to it.

>>14356
Yeah, it has me intrigued as well. I'm really pleased with Rockstar considering the variety of environments we've seen so far. So far I've counted inner cities, suburbs, the more affluent "Richman" area, a desert, scrubland, farmland, and varying degrees of mountainous areas.

>>14357
People want some of SA back.. looks like they are giving it back. What's the problem with that then, gayboy?

>>14357

Oh sage and fabled Gamesmaster please tell us how you would make a game that has cleared as many units as the GTA franchise.

>>14358
>obscure video game #4353 from 1987
>San Andreas

>>14359
It's just a shit, flashy widget that doesn't add anything to the game?

>>14360
Oh sage and no why should I Mr butthurt?

>>14361
I think it's past your bedtime, teenlad. Run along now.

>>14362
teenlad is a rather poor choice of insult when you're defending the GTA franchise.

>>14361

>NO U!!!!!!!!

Go and finish your homework wee man, you have school tomorrow. Maybe if you get good grades your parents may buy you it when it is reduced in the bargain bin!

>>14364
Hahah oh wow.

Alright lads, cool your cucumbers. Let's go back to being enthusiastic for the latest installment in the franchise, yeah? If you don't feel the same, feel free to make a thread for your preferred game.

>>14366

I'm really hoping that pedal bikes make a come back in this instalment as well as the cars with hydraulics.

>>14361
>It's just a shit, flashy widget that doesn't add anything to the game?

But it's fun...
How many hours do you think in total did people spend being carried back down by parachute in SA? I'd guess the total is millions of hours because of people having fun dicking around.

>The highly anticipated 2nd trailer for Grand Theft Auto V debuts worldwide next week Wednesday, November 14th. Watch it here at the Rockstar Newswire and at http://www.rockstargames.com/V.

>>14370
Watching the 1st trailer again following all the recent screenshots etc.

This game is going to be genuinely huge.

I actually forgot about GTA V. This looks like the best game ever.

>>14370 Now I know what propted this to appear on RPS.

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/11/06/game-advert-release-date-to-be-announced-soon/

>>14370
Fucksake, I couldn't give a toss about publicity 'events'.

>>14374
Trailers have been a staple of marketing media products since forever, mate. Are you telling me the latest Bond trailer didn't move you either?

>>14376
I don't remember there being a countdown to its release.

Protagonist called Trevor confirmed. Hoping for News at 10 side missions.

The Elder Scrolls - San Andreas

>In the past, players would have controlled a lone character all the way through the game. Here, you have three, switching between them at will. Alongside Michael, there's Franklin, a young kid working in vehicle repo for a bunch of Armenian gangsters, and the fascinating Trevor, a psychotic career criminal with a shady military background. These guys all have their own skills and specialities and will often attempt missions together, the player sticking with one character throughout the task, or swapping back and forth, relying on the computer to control the others.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/gamesblog/2012/nov/12/grand-theft-auto-v-preview-gta-5

Well sheeeee-it.

https://www.youtube.com/v/Vzue74y7A84

>>14393
Game of forever, all forevers.

If it was any other franchise, this level of hype and ambition would set the alarm bells ringing. This is gearing up to be a masterpiece.

Surely I can't be the only one who doesn't actually like the GTA franchise?

>>14396
No, it's just that normally when people don't like something they stay away from threads about it, instead of announcing their distaste.

I wish this were true

>>14397
>no opinions allowed

>>14398

Not really, it is more show a modicum of self control and keep your opinion to yourself in what is clearly a GTA fan thread. I don't go in to /beat/ and take a steaming shit in the middle of someone's thread talking about a genre I don't enjoy. I just don't comment and move along.

>>14399
Doesn't that mean that only fanboys of a certain subject can post in a thread about it? What's the point in that? You've nothing to discuss. Just add the rockstar website to your newsfeed or something and be done with it.

>>14400

No but it means stay out of a thread where a peaceful discussion is going on, if you dislike GTA so much start your own thread. Perhaps you would like me to draw it with crayons in bright colours for you?

>>14401
>no opinions allowed

>>14401
>>14399


Sorry fanlad, but he's right. As you said, the whole point of threads like this one is discussion. Best game 10/10 would buy isn't a discussion. It's shitposting drivel. Fuck up.

>>14400

Discussion might be nice. I actually have quite a mixed relationship with the GTA franchise. The first games were charming in a puerile, comic book kind of way, but then from III onward it seemed as though the technical exercise of building a living city outgrew the concept of playing a criminal. This shows in all of the things you can actually do, and how bizarre it was to catch my brother playing San Andreas and spending time working out his virtual avatar at a run down gym.

At the moment GTA is kind of occupying an awkward middle-ground between crime-action and a sandbox game, and what strikes me is the massive potential for expansion. A change in the format of the series where you play not just different characters, but different roles within a city. Corrupt cop, gang leader, young startup, vigilante, etc. In a sense the game has always been a sort of aggregate of film concepts, and I imagine that playing quite well to its strengths.

>>14403

>Best game 10/10 would buy isn't a discussion.

Neither is "Surely I can't be the only one who doesn't actually like the GTA franchise?", shitlips.

>>14405
It's a question, which is a pretty important part of a discussion. Now you're just derailing the thread entirely.

>>14404

>the technical exercise of building a living city outgrew the concept of playing a criminal.

Very good point, that pretty much clarifies how I felt about San Andreas and IV. I'd also add that Rockstar seem to be desperately trying to have characters who are sympathetic and complex, but the contrast is too high with the ruthless rampages you have to go on to progress the story.

Might aswell post this rant here.

I finally got round to completing GTA 4 and I don't know what to feel. After getting rather invested into the story and characters, I couldn't believe how abruptly the whole thing ended. There were so many loose ends and anti-climaxes that the entire thing just felt like a complete waste of time.

Why mention "the five families" with such importance when you only ever met 2 of them and they turned out to be non-sequetors to the main story?

Why did Bulgarin set himself up to be one of the main villains and then never make another appearance?

Why do you have the option to kill the only other worthwhile villian, Dimitri in a generic shootout, leaving a 3rd rate mob boss you've just met to fill the role in the final mission?

It feels like Rockstar spunked everything they had on the fancy details and the first half of the story (which was the only thing making the generic "drive + shoot" mission at all compelling) , then had interesting to keep it going on later.

I hope the ambition of GTA 5 won't leave it a similarly unbalanced game.

>>14423 had nothing interesting*

>>14423
The reason the mob boss turns up after you pick Dimitri is to show how as Little Jacob says 'it never ends' - GTA storylines have always been about revenge and petty retribution between criminals and gangs.

>>14423
You're supposed to play the "Episodes From Liberty City" To round out the storyline and figure out what happens to Bulgarin etc,

>>14428
It's like a novel where you have to buy the short story anthology to find out the ending.

>>14429
Make that a £40.00 novel where you have to buy the £40.00 short story anthology to find out the ending.

... After you've bought the £300.00 or so minimum special reading glasses. And the screen. Jesus.

>>14429
Ah, the joys of DLC. Downloadable cuntery.

>>14433
To be fair, Rockstar make proper game expansions. None of this finished in 20 minutes nonesense. It's almost like buying Half Life Oppsing Force in it's big cardboard box at woolworths again.

Let's hope GTA V has a bigger variety of suits to buy and wear.

Never got tired of that stuff.

Well put.

Well fuck.

September 17th 2013

Somebody needs to explain seasons to Rockstar.

>>14971

Microsoft are probably making it a Launch title for the next Xbox.

>>14972

It seems likely. The graphics do seem too good for an open world game like this on current gen consoles.

https://www.youtube.com/v/Bf38HiYPMiI

>>15615
Underpants confirmed.

>>15615
Rockstar have consistently added the best matching music to all of their games so far. Really loving this, I wonder how it will turn out.

>>15615

I was decidedly pissed off by the teenlad reviewer at he Gruaniad trying to say Rockstar's trailers were based on The Sopranos and The Wire.

Evidently he's never seen Heat. Fucking teenlads.

>>15618
How fitting indeed.

Michael, the aging Criminal wanting another chance at the big payoff. "YOU HAD THE TIME, YOU HAD THE POWER, YET TO HAVE, YOUR FINEST HOUR!"

I wish someone would do a total conversion mod of GTAIV to be set in London or Manchester or something.

>>15621
How good would this be omg. If I had any programming/modding skill whatsoever I'd be all over it

>>15622

Less about programming more about 3d moddling. But I guess If you found a pre existing model of london/ manchester in another game it would be quite easy to just hack it in.

There already was a GTA: London.

Admittedly it was a long time ago.

>I guess If you found a pre existing model of london/ manchester in another game it would be quite easy to just hack it in.
Not really, not unless you really like writing scripts to convert assets from one custom, proprietary format to another.

>>15626

easy was a relative term. in my post above. It would be more a lot more easy then 3d modeling the whole of a major city.

>>15627

Since we're imagining ways of doing it, maybe GPS could be used to semi-automate it.

>>9501
New previews are up.

Genuine all time masterpiece videogame confirmed.

>>15630
I think the game looks great, perhaps a little disappointed with the characters so far, they seem a lot less interesting than Niko and I can't help but think 3 protagonists may dilute their identities - it's a risky move anyway. But I'm still looking forward to it on the basis on the feel of the world (and hopefully good gameplay to match). Could be wrong about the protagonists, they've only just been introduced after all, that's just my initial impression.

>>15631
>they seem a lot less interesting than Niko

I refer you to

>>9714
>I AM UNHEPPY AFTER WAR IN HOME COUNTRY.

>>15632
Christ, the thread has been going this long hasn't it?

>>15621
>London
Because we already have, and it was shit.

>>15639
No, that's much older. What he means is to have GTA IV gameplay and graphics quality (and I presume characters) just set someplace else.

There was a mod for Vice City to make it look stereotypically British, kept the same street layout but changed the streets to be cobbled, had British police cars etc. That sort of thing would (most likely I'm no expert) be easy to do on IV if it hasn't already. Redesigning the entire map to actually represent London would be a collossal undertaking, unlikely unless it was an entirely new game - GTA VI: London anyone?

>>15640
London certainly has a lot of potential with all the Russians

>>15639
The only thing letting that game down was the control system, it was pretty clunky on foot.

>>15639

The Getaway wasn't totally shit, I have fond memories of it, although the driving wasn't all that exciting

>>15643
Used to enjoy just driving around in free roam, using the indicators etc. the AI actually behaved pretty good too instead of being on rails and ramming you out of the way.

Also. DC Carter is still one of the best game characters ever.

I actually really liked The Getaway for what it was. A really well done story-based game in a well-made setting.

The gameplay itself was admittedly shite, but it was more about plot. More of an interactive film that you can jump in and explore.

What did you like about DC Carter, do you mind me asking?

>>15645
The way he made the game feel like an Ultraviolent Episode of The Bill.

"But the DCI suspended you Frank!"
"FUCK HIM. HE CAN ARREST ME LATER!"

>>15644

What fucked me off about Free Roam was that you played as Mark Hammond when he was still wanted by the coppers, so you couldn't properly explore because you kept getting ran off the road by police cars.

An ex girlfriend of mine whilst she was at my flat waiting for me to come from work started her own game of that and did the first 2 missions just by breaking every single enemy's neck. She couldn't work out how to get him to use the pistol.

I'd keep an eye on that one if I were you.

Holy shit, how did I miss this?

>>15650
Theres fuckton of new info out lad, and not to hype much, but it looks like it's going to be THE game of this generation.

I look forward to going hunting for Cougars, with an RPG.

>>15651

Fancy joining my in Ipswich next Friday, lad?

Yeah everyone said the same about GTA IV, the reviewers gave it perfect scores all over the place, and it was a fucking dull game. Until this is out and I've actually played it there's no way I'm taking any claims about "best game of the generation" seriously.

Exclusive pre order DLC.

Why Rockstar?

>>15765
To increase pre-orders, silly.

>>15765>>15766

They're giving away an unfair amount of rewards to people that buy into tat. Seems like a slap in the face to anyone who wants the same amount of content, but none of the wallets, maps, hats, and other shite.

>>15770
The best thing they could do would be to make it timed exclusive, early access for a month or so then unlocked for all.

>>15785

They'll more than likely wait a few months then start selling the exclusives as DLC.

I know it's a bad practice but I don't really care, I'll preorder the fancy set.

Think it's worth pre-ordering it from Tesco for £34.99 (with discount code)?

Gamestop have an offer to get if for £5 if you trade-in 2 games, but I'm not sure how cheaply you can get the games on their list - http://www.gamestop.co.uk/GTAVTrade

Gaming is weird nowadays. Anyway, I quit when I started uni and haven't played since. It's like buying a car but all they give you is a shell and then they sell you parts one by one.

>>16534
I'm sure somebody will go through the list and post on hot uk deals about it.

>>16534
http://savygamer.co.uk/2013/07/14/grand-theft-auto-5-ps3-23-56/

Some of the games on the list I imagine you can get super cheaply online or from CEX.

Crikey.

CUSTOM CUSTOM CUSTOM

Yeah yeah couldn't give a toss. APB has brilliant customisation but it's still a shite game.

Less than a week to go lads.
>>16657
GTA Online has a different way of making your characters. You pick your parents and grandparents and see what happens. Then you can fine tune it to how you'd like. Very interested.

I really shouldn't get too hyped about this game but I can't help it.

Are we all going to play online together then? I'm on 360.

The game has been leaked. Get in your shed bunkers, lads.

Snow is confirmed

Ahh .gs, I can trust you not to spoil things for me.

Mad really, after all this waiting it's so very close, and this thread has been here all along.

>>16880
I am fond of the fact there's several threads from 2011 still on the front pages of their boards and are still active (workplace annoyances on /job/, the Vimpto and driving threads on /101/ and even the Nando's thread on /nom/).

Hopefully this won't end up like the Batman and Hobbit threads on /v/ where there's a lot of discussion before release but barely anything at all afterwards.

I basically give up on games completely, haven't played one in months, then GTA V pops up, and I can't play it because I don't own a console.

PC Master Race indeed.

>>16882

It's not a console exclusive. It'll be coming to the personal computer in due course. It'll look fucking beautiful when it does, note.

>>16883

I can't possibly wait 12+ months when everyone is having their fun now with it.

>>16884

This is what happened to me with GTA IV, though when I finally got it on PC it was a right fucking ballache and kept crashing and flat out didn't work until they brought out two or three more patches all the sweeter.

>>16884

It looks like shit on the Xbox and ps3. Nothing like the trailers. Those were real-time renders... But not of the Xbox game. Only PC and maybe xbone/ps4 will look like that. You can also mod it with real cars, gun names, textures etc. It will be worth the wait.
