3 New Incredible GTAV trailers. Michael. Franklin. Trevor.

Don't get me wrong: I'm interested in the game myself, but I don't get all the "OMG game of the generation" talk. People were going nuts over GTA IV and that game ended up with lots of problems and lacking things from previous games in the series.

The ability to play as and switch between three separate playable characters at any time is largely unprecedented and most certainly innovative.

As to GTAIV, while it was scaled down from San Andreas, it was also a much better game at the core in terms of mechanics. Subsequent additions such as Lost and the Damned and Gay Tony also went a long way in returning certain elements to the franchise and regardless, this newest installment is going to eclipse San Andreas in terms of content and scope.       

Personally, I think it will be one of the very best games of this (or any) generation.

[QUOTE="juradai"] The models do look good but I wouldn't be surprised to if this was current gen. It looks very similar to L.A. Noire and there is some blocky modeling going on with the arms that is reminiscent of current gen models. juradai

Rockstar said this game was being developed for current gen consoles with no PC version so far, so you guys are right. I am just surprised by how clean everything looks. We are used to seeing graphics like this in corridor shooters like Max Payne and Uncharted, but ive never seen an open world game look this good. Not even Sleeping Dogs on PC.

And yeah, looking at the last gif it definitely looks like they are using L.A Noire's facial animation tech... Good catch!

Thanks! Oh, and have they stated specifically no PC version or just have made no mention either way? 

Back in Nov 12, they said it was 'up for consideration'. They were late releasing the PC version of GTAIV, never released RDR on PC, but did launch max Payne 3 on the PC along with the console versions so hopefully thye wouldnt take too long to port it. This was before the six month delay though so maybe things have changed. All I know is that I am not playing it on the PS3 or 360. I'd rather play the best version. next gen, pc or bust.

From PC Gamer:

The prospects of a PC version of GTA 5 appear to be in a terrifying state of flux. After seeming to be a dead cert earlier this year, doubts emerged when the games posters confirmed only a console release. Now asked directly about a PC version by IGN, Rockstars Dan Houser would no more commit to that platform than he would Wii U.

A potential PC version is only up for consideration, he said. Thats all I can give you. The main thing is we are not we are a third-party publisher. Were not Nintendo, were not Sony, were not Microsoft. We love all of them in different ways. But we can do what we want wherever theres the appropriate business opportunity and chance to find a market.

So, uh, does that mean theres an appropriate business opportunity on PC, then? Houser didnt say. He did however say that the current geriatric generation of creaking console hardware is ample enough to see out their creative intentions.

Some other people talk about the limitations of the [current] hardware. We dont feel there are that many limitations. We feel we can do some very impressive stuff and do it for a large audience. This felt like the way Therell be a much larger audience on PS3 than there will be on PS4.

Erp. What worrying words. Heres hoping Housers just being cagey.

Rockstar are truly amazing, GTA V will undoubtably be GOTY 2013, can't wait! The Trever trailer was my favourite but they were all very enjoyable.

If V actually plays more like SA than IV, then with the new scope and graphics it could be a great game in my opinion. But if it plays just like IV I won't even bother with it.

Hmmm... I'm curious as to why they are hesitant on the PC platform commitment. I was going to be getting this on console anyway but I wonder if they are holding off just because they know people will double dip once the PC version is released later due to the ample amount of mods that will be available to add more replay value. juradai

Rockstar has been doing the same thing since Grand Theft Auto III. Actually, prior to Grand Theft Auto V, they never even said that the PC version was under consideration, they just kept denying it. Every Grand Theft Auto game has been released on PC, Grand Theft Auto V will be no different.

Why they're avoiding to commit? Well, they probably don't want anyone to hold off from buying the console versions and waiting for the PC version down the road (whoever is in such a predicament). They want to focus on the console release and only afterwards focus on the PC version. It only makes sense, really.

It hardly effects me as i mentioned eearlier I will be getting this on console. What about you? Are you going to wait for the PC release or snag the 360 version?

I have no idea. I'm in a bit of a tricky situation right now. I don't think I want to play it on my current PC and I don't know when I'll be able to build a new one. I mean, I'll definitely get the PC version on a Steam sale someday. The 360 version is just too expensive to buy right away, but I just might get it if the price drops adequately before the PC version comes out and I build a new PC. It definitely depends on several factors, so we'll see.

That moment when GTA no longer excites you.

No doubt the graphics look great and I'm glad they're going with 3 separate characters, but I'm more interested in stuff Watch_Dogs. The latest Watch_Dogs trailer did more for me than these 3 did. Also, stuff like Sleeping Dogs and Saints Row The Third look like they'll still end up being more fun than GTAV will.

I buy every GTA game, but I always stop halfway because it gets boring; so I really hope GTAV will change my mind with the three character approach. But as of now, it doesn't excite me.

I'm about as excited as I can get for this one.  For me, GTAIV and San Andreas are the two best games in the series, and this looks to strike a great balance between the two.  I'm a rabid enough GTA fan that I have to buy the PS3 version day one, but I'll drop it for the PC version the second that it hits.

Not to diss the game (because I'm a huge GTA fan), but seriously... this does not look next-gen. It's looks incredible, but nothing out of the ordinary.

graphics look real sweet.

Michael's trailer looked awesome, loved Trevor's trailer and Franklin's trailer was meh

michael and trevor im looking forward to playing as. franklin like every1 else said just looks like some typical predictable stuff. and i dont know how you could think this is next gen. yeah the graphics look great but next gen? if this was next gen i would be pretty dissapointed.
