So pilot-able planes are making a comeback?
They were apparently supposed to be in GTA4 but, well Rockstar wanted to avoid the inevitable 9/11 parodies.

Also, the map wasn't big enough for planes to be useful. In this one it will be, seeing is this one apparently has THE largest map in a GTA game ever.

Ahhh, because GTA4 was based off New York?
And now we're in a different city somewhere else. I guess that makes sense.
I still bet the media will find a way to demonize GTA 5.

Actually I was going to mention that, Liberty City just wasn't well suited for Airplanes. Wasn't all that huge and the Airport would have been the only place large enough for a landing.

If the game has a better system for aiming while driving, preferably something similar to that of Red Dead, I'll buy it. If not, there are always other games. The alternative to a new aiming system would be for Rockstar to just stop creating missions in which I have to shoot out another car's tires (the hitbox for which is about three-by-nine pixels) while driving at high speed through traffic. It's just one of those things that makes me want to throw rotten fruit at game designers.
Better than the missions where you have to chase a motorbiker and running over him with a 3000 pound sports car doesn't even touch him, but rather causes you to drive OVER him, and get pushed out of his way.

Also, just because a jet fighter and bike was shown, doesn't mean they'll be playable, I think a lot of people are jumping the gun here. Could be scenery pieces.
I doubt that Rockstar would be that tricky. If the jet fighter is pilot-able (and the evidence so far is saying that it will be), then Rockstar, SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY.
You never know man, you never know.
From the screen, I can see that the pilot seems to be the white protagonist from the trailers; in any case he's in casual wear, which suggests either that jets ARE pilotable, or that Rockstar are going out of their way to deceive us. My money's on the first option.

Apart from the improved vehicle handling, yes I said improved, I couldn't see the difference in tone between the earlier GTA games and GTAIV. If you stick to the main story they are all almost identical in tone, certainly they are from Vice City on. Then again I don't faff about in GTA games, just sticking to the main story.

What is really important here is that FUCKING BICYCLES are back.
I know I can't be the only one who loved to run from the cops on my indestructible mountain bike of doom

I hope this game is super serious and realistic and gritty and all that, just to piss off people who genuinely enjoy shit like Saint's Row.

I wonder if C.J is still king of the hill in San Andreas. I hope we get to kill OG Loc, I failed that go kart mission with him in it so many times just so I could blow him up with a rocket launcher.

It'd be nice to see some old faces.

I want a submarine. But somehow I don't think we will. Solvemedia puzzle is "Moon Cheese"

San Andreas started out normally, went kind of crazy around the halfway mark, and then suddenly went back to being serious at the end.

Snip Re: Seriousness of GTA
The simple solution is for Rockstar to split the IP into two games, one totally serious (feeling like GTA IV) and the other a little more off the wall (feeling like GTA SA) Reuse all the animations textures maps and all that but just tweak the story for each, or release a crazy story mode as an expansion, but use all of the other material from the serious one.

It's not a bad idea (I would like to see what R* does if really focused on absurdity; LA Noir wasn't a particularly bad example of focusing on drama; I mean the acting/face animation not the predictable plot) but I still think the simple solution is to just have that stuff hidden away for people to look for, like they used to do.
I have a friend who played through San Andreas and didn't even realize there were pimp missions or the little 2p rampages.
He just wanted to play through the story but I think one of the things I love about GTA games are exploring the world and finding little rewards for doing so. Forget about Saints Row, Bethesda is the one that seemed to take over the responsibility of making worlds that really beg to be explored. The maps in most other open world games (including Saints Row 3 & GTA 4)are just set pieces stitched together.

With GTA 4's handling, I'm expecting V's city roads to all be made out of ice and the street cleaners spread a super slippery lubricant on them every night.
Sounds about right. Not only that, but now your on-foot turning circle has expanded from coffee table size to the diameter of a Merry-Go-Round.

Didn't stop GTA 3 from including the Dodo. IV couldn't even manage that. Why not?

Looks great, but GTAIV felt dry to me after a few hours, and it became tedious real fast too. I like Sleeping Dogs a lot more so far

Sigh. Another GTA game, another hour or two of driving around then getting bored and finding another, better game to play. I've never bought a GTA game, I just know this from playing at friends houses.

I will not BUY this game. I was so disappointed with GTA4. Fable was much much better, because you could use the Money to make More Money! In Fable the villages themselves would grow based upon the microeconomies controlled by you. It was a hidden Gem.

In GTA4, you could even buy a McMansion, let alone 260 of them like you can in Fable.

I hope for a game that has the $ symbol in it, that you can have FUN with spending/investing the money to make the game experience better.

I mean you own cousin was killed for a quarter of a million, but all you could buy was clothes, guns,SX, and cars? Pssh!

I want to buy a New York Apartment Complex, let alone a Billion Dollar Skyscraper with my Initials on the Top at the Highest Tower, over looking my Arenas and Stadiums, plus my R&D Warehouse that holds Advanced Classified Governmental Products.
