********* The Official GTA V (5) thread! *********

Hmm, am I leaving it late for pre-ordering? I don't get paid until Friday and that's when I'll be doing it!

A little, as orders are sent out normally in order. but you should be okay, if not there is always shops/supermarkets :)

Some people confuse me, they probably dont want it as it would take them too long to go around the map, and inbetween home work and school they wont manage it

Mhmm lol

meh... im cancelling. for one, the map looks WAY too small. i mean, if i walk from one side to the other i want it to take me at least 30 days to cross. and number 2..the price! this game is so not worth 40 of my hard earned JSA.


/trollmode

:p
 
people are really cancelling because the map is too small? lol! the map looks huge to me.
Im abit dissapointed at the radio music though..wheres the heavy rock or metal? I still remember how awsome it was hearing raining blood by Slayer blasting out while cruising around in an earlier GTA. Saints Row has some pretty good metal tracks on there radio i just wish GTA did aswell.
 
Yeah no metal at all lol, but Don';t think LA is a metal kind of place, more hip hop rap which is the core of the music (sadly) but it's no big deal.
 
My first reaction was the map was too small...but then I'd never learn the layout or have to quick travel everywhere. Mafias map was big enough for me and imo its the best game ever.

Buckled and pre ordered

Yeah i love the mafia games especially number 2. One of the few games iv completed twice as it was just so great.
 
Pretty sure it's a horse track good info in the map analysis thread over at GTAF. but no real concrete proof.

It's nearly three blocks long and as big as the golf course surely horse tracks aren't that big? Then again it does say racetrack and not speedway. I guess we'll just have to wait and see :p
 
Tesco any good for pre-orders?

Never pre-ordered a game before and I saw a code online and ended up paying £30 for the standard GTA V but didn't really think about the date I would get it or anything!

Just been checking out that map thread on GTAF and I can't see why people would want to spend an hour or something to drive somewhere. This isn't a driving game like TDU2!
 
List of GTA Online features:

(Not really spoilers, but put them in spoiler tags to stop the post being huge)
• Character progression has a "flow" but there isn't an "overarching narrative that culminates in a definitive conclusion"

• Security firms that have taken a liking to you may be used to deliver airstrikes
• Rockstar uses a "dynamic" system to populate GTA Online, starting with your friends and crew members, then similarly skilled players in the same part of the world.
• GTA Online has been created to be "as customisable as possible" in terms of who you play with: "there are options to let the game decide who to play with... or you can hand pick every player in the game".
• The game analyses your playing style as you play and surfaces missions that appeal more to your style.
• There's a crew ranking system and a personal rank
• The fourth GTA Online player is fresh off a plane in Los Santos, character creation involves choosing your mum, dad and grandparents and you're given a character. Then players then choose a lifestyle, make choices about the things the character does (partying, couch potato, criminal, athletics nut).
• Starting skills are based on the chosen lifestyles, but can be upgraded, as can the look of the character
• Players riding shotgun in cars can also control radio station, set waypoints, use a cinematic camera, or attack others
• Holding the select button (on a PS3) pulls up a menu where outfits and gestures can be changed
• Phone camera's can be used to take a selfie
• During a liquor store robbery the player can shout at the cashier to hurry up through a mic and the character will respond
• Escaping cops involves keeping yourself out of the police's vision cone
• After each GTA Online mission cash rewards and Reputation Points are awarded. The crew leader decides who keeps the loot.
• A leader can choose to hog the spoils but, obviously, other players might not take that very well
• Invites are received through the character's phone and accepting seamlessly transports the player to the activity
• Players can customise the way a vehicle handles at shops found around the city
• In missions involving bigger teams a lobby window opens up. From this the roles such as sniper, look-out and transporter can be assigned. The crew leader can tweak settings such as time of day, weather, difficulty and how many lives they have to complete the mission.
• Everyone is given priorities suited to their role when missions begin
• When you have enough cash to purchase a "high end residency" you gain the ability to set up heists like the ones in the solo campaign.
• These missions involve multiple phases, including a set-up phase. In the mission shown prep involved buying guns from Ammu-Nation and procuring a helicopter. The tasks can be split between players.
• Passive mode can be activated if you want to enjoy Online without being troubled by other players, this is automatically deactivated when you fire your gun however.
• Players can kill you and take your cash, so you are encouraged to put money in the bank and use ATMs.
• Purchases can still be made using the money even if it's in the bank
• If you are robbed, you can put a bounty on a players head for revenge
• Each house you pruchase has space for storing cars. Modest appartments have space for two, but high-end homes can store ten.
• Garage areas can be treated like showrooms. You can walk around and admire your cars and hire a mechanic to keep them in good condition. You can also insure them to avoid big payouts should you damage them badly.
• You can invite friends to your home and drink, call strippers, watch Rockstar's custom created TV shows (or your friends in high-speed chases).
• Missions are controlled through Rockstar's Social Club, which means the developer tweak them regularly.
