Feast Your Eyes On the Glorious Scenery of Grand Theft Auto V

[gphjr14]

You poor souls can go ahead and complain all you want. This is a Day 1 for me. Also, I want to know what planet people live on where they think "GTA 4 was too serious", it took on a more down to earth tone, but the entire game was a satire.

Until I hear the word that the Car Driving/Handling will be actually fun and not hurr hurr its realistic you'll get used to it, then No Sale for me.

I thought the driving was immensely fun. The driving in Saints Row 3 is trash to me, all you do is press a button and go forward. Yay, so interesting and compelling.

Thank god the driving physic in GTA don't apply to real life otherwise when I hit a traffic cone I would've went into a death spin and flipped my car 3 times. SR's driving mechanics may have been simplistic but they're physics weren't insanely difficult. Like Yahtzee said the cars in GTA IV were like driving a car with another car strapped on top.

Sept. 17.... 3 days after my birthday. That game would make a hell of a belated b-day present for me. ^_^

Ooh, sweet, the minigun is back!

I really hope GTA5 retains at least a few of GTA4's driving features. Specifically these 3:

1) The car breakdown, and the player character getting mad at the car he's trying to restart.

2) Dragging someone by the door handle. Whether it's a cop or the guy you stole the car from, when he goes for the door, drive off and see that poor bastard hang onto the door handle for dear life. Hard to do, but so satisfying.

3) Windshield launch. Once, I drove a car and crashed at high speed and expected some flip or something, a la GTA3. I was surprised to see instead Niko screaming out through the windshield. After that, I've found myself doing that on a regular basis not just to Niko, but also to TLAD's Johnny ("FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!") and TBOGT's Luis ("CONYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"). Man, that was always funny as hell. Sometimes, I could even launch NPCs out through their windshields this way. So funny to watch.

Man, I'm sick...

So anyway, any chance we'll see those things in GTA5 as well?

Whoa, wait, PC? Did I miss something?

Nope, you are correct. A PC release is being considered (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/120710-Grand-Theft-Auto-V-for-PC-and-Wii-U-Up-For-Consideration [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/120710-Grand-Theft-Auto-V-for-PC-and-Wii-U-Up-For-Consideration]) but I'm afraid I jumped the gun a bit there. Sorry if I got you all wound up.

You are a cruel, cruel man Andy. I hope you realise this. In other news this game looks -delicious-. Very much looking forward to getting my hands on it. I will tear its secrets from its weeping corpse.

 

[MrGalactus]

I have an erection.

 

[Froggy Slayer]

You, know, with the direction this is going, I bet that soon enough people will be complaining that it isn't realistic enough.

 

[Nouw]

So far, I'm loving the variety of clouds. Seriously, that's a very nice touch.

 

[Strazdas]

Ah, sorry but no.
YOu picked the worst city in San Andreas. you probably kept the god-awful optimization mechanisms from GTA 4 (the looks/demands ratio is worse only on silent hill homecoming), and added massive graphics while likely leaving game mechanics kinda broken from GTA 4 (face it, san andreas mechanics was much better, the onyl thing GTA 4 had going for it was physix.
Also, no PC, the market that kept your franchise alive to begin with.
Bah, rockstar, you used to be my favourite, but now, meh.

 

[Strazdas]

Ah, sorry but no.
YOu picked the worst city in San Andreas.

Its being completely redesigned, it will be familiar and new at the same time. The map will be 5 times bigger than IV's.

Ah, thats quite good. Hopefully that will end up well. I uess one bad thing less. now i need confirmation other things arent going to be there and then its worth looking at.

Capcha: one small step for man
capcha always knows the best answer.

Is it just me, or do the graphics look quite shit?

What exactly do you not want to be there?

Terrible graphic optimization? Console-like controls? Emphasis on graphics over functionality?

 

[Strazdas]

You mean making graphics better on your computer?

I mean making the graphics require less resources to run the same. you know, the meaning of world optimization. the amount of resources versus the amount of graphic we had in GTA 4 was very poor.

Wasn't the game made mainly for consoles?

Sadly, yes. And badly ported controls. I want controls to be well ported or made for PC (like San Andreas had).

Well, the game itself ran fine, but the PC version is known for being a pretty poor port and I haven't played the port, so I can't comment.

The game ran. well, it hasnt crashed on me so theres that, but it seemt that they put all effort into graphics and physics (i like physics, but they are demanding thing even for modern PCs) and not into making game more functional. you had less costumization, less choices, less actions and game overall felt much more restricted. when you sacrifice gameplay to cram in more graphics its bad.

No, scarp that, it did crash on me multiple times, but it was the fault of Games for Windows live though not the games itself.

Fanboying SO HARD RIGHT NOW. /hearteyes

People still complaining that GTA 4 was 'too serious', 'boring', or whatever else, please stop. That game was incredible and this one is looking to be even better.

Is it just me, or do the graphics look quite shit?

I have never seen a game look prettier than this in my whole life, what are you comparing it to to think it looks shit?

I mean, look at the screenshots. They remind me of a elder scrolls/fallout game. Nevermind, I'm probably just spoiled by PC graphics >_>

EDIT: And what do I have to compare them to? Oh Idunno, every notable game being released the last few years.

Yeah, that's the first thing that came to my head. If I had nothing to read and just had to guess which new big release this was going to be, I doubt I would get it right. I really would love to see more interesting styles and designs than the same looking 3D engine over and over.

Also, nothing for the PC, so I can't get it either way until someone does it for them. Jerks.

 

[Guffe]

Whoa, WiiU up for concideration!
Apparently Nintendo have done something right in the WiiU since games are being ported from left and right.
Sounds/looks pretty promising.

I hate the way Elder Scrolls games look but this has some of the best graphics I've seen so I dunno what you mean. Looks better than any PC game I'm aware of too.
