GTA V

Ungh another GTA game, another steaming pile of disappointment. GTA died after VC, SA was a terrible game and 4 barely any better. The engine was awful and the gameplay is now so old and tired.

Fixed.

And how is the gameplay old and tired? It's a 3rd person open world platformer, there are other games following the 3rd person style but no other game allows the level of freedom to do whatever in a game world so large.

Replay value and scope of gameplay has always been high with GTA games.

Erm... I'm sure we had a teaser for GTA V ages ago... and it signified a move to Mexico from the looks of it.

found it just now, was this fake or something?

You do realise that was an April fool's video right?

Indeed, that's the beauty of it really. A few months ago I went back to playing GTA4 after having not touched it in quite a long time, still looked and played great, and even managed to find new stuff to do. Found a really tall tower/antenna thing, climbed to the top, got a wanted level and then shot the cops as they got to the top of the ladder. Rather amusing.

Bought GTA4 on Steam last night and started giving it a whirl. Had it on the 360 when we moved house (no net for 6 months) and really got into it then!

Was reluctant to get it on the PC after all this gafuffle about it running poorly etc. Loaded it up last night and it ran fine with the settings I was using, so really don't know where all the issues came from to begin with...

But back to the topic, this would certainly be on my "buy" list. Owned every single GTA game (minus the Episodes) and loved every single one of them. Setting won't bother me, but would love to have the depth in it like GTA:SA - there was so much to do it was brilliant! Don't think I've ever found a game with so much re-playability.

I love GTA games but i'm not that excited about this. Mainly because of this that's out next month...

Obviously I didn't at the time

Oh well. ha

Personally enjoyed GTA4, much better than San Andreas, but nowhere near as good as Vice City, but very little in any genre of gaming comes close to Vice City, it had everything for a game of it's time.

Not sure how they'd go about it, but GTA on the Frostbite 2 Engine would be something to behold, the body animations alone would be amazing, rather than the mental leggy jumping/running of all Rockstar games.

This

Games cant get much better on consoles without better consoles. Isnt the 360 about 7 years old now or something?

Granted Half life 2 came out in 2004 which is a nice engine, but surely not much more can be done. Really need a console with a 590GTX in

Trollolol

Heard of Uncharted 3 by any chance?

Looks at the coin on the right! It's set in 1899 :eek:

Rumoured to be set in Los Angeles, with you being able to play more than one character in the campaign.

I'm sure there will be lots of good content but I hope this one works properly.

I'm skeptical.

Mainly because I don't like the sound of it.

adwol48 · 2 Nov 2011 at 05:17

well just 10 hours til the trailer. one thing that got me on that page was the gta 3 anniversary edition. I can't believe that game is ten years old already, i was only 17 when it came out and i still play it now and again on the pc.

Why make a 2nd san andreas? I thought if they were going to cover a previous game they'd choose London or one that wasn't made in 3d. I hope rehashing it they bring something incredible to the table
