Yes! I LOVED GTA SA, prob one of my favotire games ever.

Looking at the trailer, it seems as if Tommy Vercetti has retired, and moved to Los Santos for a new life. In the end though, he goes back to his ways...

Thats what I am getting out of it

I don't know.

A) Ray Liotta's people have denied that's him
B) "I moved here from the weather..". Vice City is based on Miami :/
C) Rockstar routinely talks about how the previous generation's canon is dead, it would really be dumb to go back on that, even if this was some Batman type of reboot. It would look like they can't escape their glory days.

Let the hype machine start up.

Those two are good but the GTA series is the bread and butter. Whatever effort they put in those two, best believe they put in more for GTA.

I expect a lot of what was good in those games will be swallowed up by GTA though.

FWIW there's some rumor going around that Houser said the map would be 2 and a half times bigger than Red Dead. The LA area is huge, so it might be almost to scale. They really have everything San Andreas did in that area...mountains, desert, forests...the only thing I'd miss is the Venturas strip from the other two cities.

But don't forget, Tommy was in GTA 3 in Liberty City.

It doesn't seem too far fetched that this is him.

Didn't like 4 at all but we'll see.

Huh? I don't remember him in GTA3

And I don't know it just seems very far fetched actually. R* damn near campaigned about how this was a new generation and no old characters would come back.

I mean they have the right to go back on it would just seem like a strange 180 to take. If you did that you might as well bring everyone back that's still alive.

What's hilarious to me is people are saying every black guy in the trailer was CJ or CJ's son...yeah we all look alike to y'all

Nimreitz · 11-03-2011, 07:16 PM

It's cartoons man.

**Dre** · 11-03-2011, 07:24 PM

I'm not even getting into it that heavy all I'm saying is they said one thing and I believe them on it.

He's probably confusing Tommy with Claude. If you think about it, San Andreas was the only link between any GTA games. It fell in the timeline between Vice City and III. The characters from III and Vice City who appeared in San Andreas were a part of missions and supporting characters. IV and V take place a decade after III, so it's not surprising that IV and V would be a reboot.

**Dre** · 11-03-2011, 09:29 PM

IV didn't have any III era characters though...it would be random to have this new world and then "hey it's Tommy Vercetti!" out of the blue

I just meant on how all black people look the same. It's cartoons, they all DO look the same. So do the white characters.

I'm stoked for the game too think it looks awesome, but I'm a fanboy, so I'll buy anything with GTA on the cover.

they show 3 dudes in the trailer. doing seperate things all the time

maybe they partner up throughout the story which means 3 player co-op story mode?

A games journalist for "a Playstation magazine in the UK" (presumably PSM3) has professed, on the GTA Forums, to having privileged information about the game. He says that magazine staff experienced 30 minutes of Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto V at the developer's Scotland offices.

It should be noted that everything below is rumor, subject to absolutely no validation whatsoever. Some of the things he writes do make sense, however, and should make for interesting discussion.

1: The game world is absolutely massive and will push both xbox and PS3 to the very limit in terms of what it has accomplished. Yes, the main city is simply Los Santos however is it AT LEAST 4 times bigger than Liberty City in GTA 4 and that is just Los Santos. The surrounding country side, beaches, etc are massive. For instance, we saw the main character ( an African/American, early 30's) travel by car from the center of Los Santos into the wildnerness and it took over 15 minutes. The views were incredible from farmhouses with cattle, huge wind farms, an oil refinery which appeared to be living and breathing with nearly 100 NPCs working on machinery, operating vehicles, lifting and loaded, etc, unlike the gas works in GTA 4 which seemed to only house a few NPC at a time. The forests are more beautiful than those in RDR and featured people camping, young NPC drinking and dancing around campfires, people riding dirt bikes and jumping over logs, streams, etc. The water effects, forna, plants, trees all looked beautiful.

2: The shooting mechanics have been greatly improved with animations for diving, climbing, rolling and crawling all added for better realism. The re-loading animations for new ammo also look cooler, less static.

3: There is much more climbable elements in the world such as ladders, overhand climbing, etc.

4: There are animals in the game from dogs to cattle but at this time it is not confirmed if you will be able to harm the animals. Rockstar were able to get away with it in RDR as it was a true depiction of the world in which the game was set. Allowing dogs/cattle to die in a game sent in current times may cause headaches with PETA. Its unclear if Rockstar were joking here.

5: There are planes to pilot and they can be crashed into buildings if you choose to do so....

6: Rockstar have included many, many more interior locations such as a shopping mall, college campus, police station, a huge hospital and there is also a vast underground sewer network which one mission later in the game involves a jet ski chase that culminates in a Fugitive-esque waterfall jump ( there are nods to the ridiculous but awesome Ballad Of Gay Tony missions)

7: The city is full of NPCs jogging, weight-lifting, hitting on women, being chased on foot by cops, shopping, washing cars, fixing fences, moving home, filling up their cars, etc.

REAL JUICY INFO:

1: Cars can be upgraded/repaired and it has been considered to have a car have fuel forcing the player to fill her up.

2: The dating aspect of the game is gone. You still have a cell-phone but only people you will meet in the game will call you to ask you to do a mission or to ask you to do something else before the mission.

3: Weapons include the usual arsenal you'd aspect but the flamethrowers, remote mines, laxer trip mines and claymores are included. It is possible now to pick up random objects in a street/buidling to use as a weapon. There is also a museam where it is possible to steal old age swords, axes, etc.

4: it is possible to rupture a fuel line and if you shot at the trail of gasoline it will lead straight back to the car blowing it up.

5: mini games such as bowling, darts, etc have all gone. You can play basketball, weight train, arm wrestle, gamble and cage fight, enter triatholons, water races, cannoing, ab-saling, rock climbing, base jumping, ski diving. More to be confirmed.

6: Character customisation is back but only in terms of clothing, body weight, etc. The player you start off which, much like CJ, can't be altered by race, age, height, etc.

7: Rockstar said burglary missions may return but only as part of missions and not on neigbourhood houses.

8: No children NPC at all. Ever.

9: There is now an ability to grab people and use as sheilds or in "hostage" situations.

10: The cops are much, much, much more realistic. If you kill somebody when you know there are no cops around you will not run the risk of a one star as often as you would in GTA4. The cops will use smoke and tear gas, dogs, riot gear and rams to knock down the doors of buildings you are hiding in.

11: You can enter some buildings and lock doors, push objects in the way to barricade.

12: You become better at things as the game progresses. If you only ride motorbikes then you will increase your skills, same as individual weapons.

13: Certain weapons can be customisable and some even home-made.

14: One mission involves breaking out a very familiar GTA icon from a previous game...

15: Torrential rain fall and sunshine and even tremors will appear in the game.

I'm inclined not to believe this because GTA Forums has a good relationship with Rockstar and the forum is treating it like speculation.

Plus he learned an awful lot in 30 minutes. If it took 15 minutes to drive to the countryside how did you learn about everything else in 15?

FWIW, RDR and GTA are made by 2 different development teams (Rockstar South and North). I'm sure there's some collaboration, but don't necessarily expect to see a large amount of overlap in concepts.
