GTA V Game Informer Info going up right now!!! 3 protagonists confirmed

[QUOTE="SPYDER0416"]Can you show me where the Watch Dogs hype threads are here, or the user scores? Oh wait, there are none because we are all talking about GTA V? SNIPER4321

I wish I could stop replying, but you keep putting your foot in your mouth don't you?

Mafia: 88/65 score on MC, user score of 7.5

GTA III: 93/97 score on MC, user score of 8.6

So again, you are now just making yourself look like a bigger idiot by making up these facts as you go along. If this is an attempt at trolling, you really don't know how to troll.

ITT: Awesome GTA news and one butthurt hipster gamer.clyde46

Alright I guess after that last and final show of that hipster's idiocy, I really hope we can get back on topic. For now, showing the objective superiority of GTA to Mafia is enough for me to stop contributing the decline of this thread.

"GTA 5's world is bigger than the worlds of Red Dead Redemption, San Andreas and GTA IV combined."

Did some sleuthing; San Andreas is 13.6 square miles, GTA IV is 6 square miles, RDR is 28 square miles.

So we're looking at over 48 square miles. "Only" a quarter the size of Just Cause 2 but- I'm guessing -much more detail, densely populated, better animation, graphics, physics, longer story, etc. Impressive. Funny to think that just 10 years ago we thought GTA III and Vice City were huge.

That wouldn't surprise me if true. Before RDR came out they said it was their largest map to date people were doubtful but it ended up true. (sure it was mostly desert but what did you expect?)

AGAIN I DO NOT care either way, I am a guy but it would make sense for 3 different characters to have one of them female to attract the female audience more

A new IP can always end up as a rehash of an older one. Also, Mafia has nothing on GTA 3, it's inferior in every way. Still a solid game, but simply can't even come close to GTA 3 standard. But I wasted enough of my time on you...

On topic:

Checked the scans, amazing stuff, though I find it hard to believe about the game world being that big. Still, this is Rockstar, so there's a very good chance they'll deliver on that promise. Anyway, can't wait to play it, always loved the GTA franchise, and this one has a very good chance of becoming my personal Game of the Gen! :)

If you stop quoting the trolls and ignore them they'll disappear. Its like those annoying ads - just don't look. biggest_loser

Yeah I have to blame myself, but I figured watching a troll toil away and fail with every post would be worth watching.

Kind of stupid to have 3 protaganist and not a single one is female...

I'm sure it was a honest mistake, it happens. In any case, user scores are irrelevant, there are no standards or quality control at all...

MC is far from perfect, and I consider it completely useless, but if you're going to use it, you go by the professional critic scores, as they have at least some standards in place...

EDIT: Mafia on the PS2 does have a 7.5 user score:

Great, can we talk about GTA now instead of arguing with a hipster with an alt account? Please guys? We kind of showed him already.

• GTA V "evolves nearly every mechanic, features the biggest world in series history and introduces a new technology that radically changes the way players control the game."
• The game's three main characters are called Michael, Trevor and Franklin
• Michael is retired, early 40s, a highly successful former bank robber. He retired in luxury after making a deal with the FIB. He's in the witness protection program, he hates his wife who spends his money and hates him too. He doesn't understand his two teenage kids Tracy and Jimmy, and is forced back into the game as his money is about to run out.
• Trevor is a career criminal, early 40s, drug user governed by his desires, prone to violent outbursts and destructive rampages, a loose cannon, former military pilot, used to work a bank job with Michael back in the day, always up for a heist.
• Franklin, repo man, mid 20s, a young and ambitious hustler, works for an Armenian luxury car dealership that sells cars to those who can't afford them, and when they can't pay up he plays repo man. He stumbles into Michael while looking for a hustle.
• A quick menu can be called up to switch characters, the camera pulls away into a Google Earth-style vantage point and then drops into wherever the chosen character is.
• Trevor is described as having a "maniacal personality"
• Trevor is in Blaine County, a barren, rundown desert region filled with bikers, meth heads and other people from the fringes of society.
• Characters can "flick off" people and people react differently depending on the area. In a rough-and-tumble neighborhood the reaction will be different from someone in a posh boutique store.
• Rockstar's playtester pours a trail of gas away from a vehicle and drops a zippo lighter on it, the flame travels back and causes a huge explosion.
• Franklin is seen on Vespucci Beach looking for a car he's to reposess.
• Waterfront activities include a muscle beach gym.
• Ammu-Nation is back.
• Each character has his own personality motivation and skillset.
• The three characters go about their daily business when you're not in control, so you might find them in surprising situations when you take control of them again.
• Each character has a fleshed out story arc.
• Complicated, multitiered heist missions inspired by GTA IV's Three Leaf Clover are "peppered" into the game. Heists are a big theme.
• Rockstar is addressing mission diversity in pairing characters. It showed off a mission involving all three characters. The trio need to perform a snatch-and-grab to get the FIB off their backs. Trevor berates the security agent guarding a chopper, Michael urges him to calm down but he keeps running his mouth. He only agreed to do the mission in exchange for help springing his friend Brad out of jail. Franklin isn't to comfortable with Trevor.
• The three change outfits and rapell down the side of a skyscraper. When they arrive players take control of Michael rapelling down, the mechanic is reminiscent of Rainbow Six Vegas.
• The musical score seems to react to the action.
• They extract the target by holding him hostage with one arm while pointing a gun at interrogators with the other, at that point an icon appears giving the player the option to switch character.
• You can stay as Michael and try and pick off the enemies or select franklin, switch to his perspective and snipe them from afar. Transition is smooth and camera angle helps you adjust
• During the chase through Los Santos the player can switch to Trevor to pilot the getaway, snipe the other pilots as Franklin, or fire an assault rifle out the back of a chopper as Michael.
• Rockstar is leveraging cinematic tricks learned from Max Payne 3.
• Rockstar thinks GTA V is its strongest plotted game yet.
• Most of the gameplay mechanics have been built from the ground up.
• Cars "hold better to the ground".Rockstar thought they were a bit "boat like" in GTA 4. It "feels more like a racing game".
• Shooting has evolved "a long way" in terms of feel and mechanics.
• Melee is better; "it's never going to be as big a deal as shooting" but Rockstar "wants to make it feel really fun and strong."
• Sam Houser and lead artist Aaron Garbut were both really interested in doing a proper LA, which R* felt it didn't do with San Andreas.
• The world is described as "the largest open-world playground in Rockstar history."
• R* chose one large city over three small ones to create the best possible experience and realise its proper version of LA. The world is 'bigger than RDR, San Andreas and GTA4 combined'.
• The ocean floor is fully detailed and can be explored
• Confirmed vehicles include BMX, mountain bikes, road bikes, dirt bikes, huge variety of cars and trucks, helicopters, planes, ATVs, Jet Skis, planes, helis.
• R* has big plans for side-activities, with sophisticated minigames in the vein of RDR's poker planned.
• Each character will have unique hobbies only they can do.
• No RPG-style customisation as the three characters have specific skills and traits.
• No weight loss and gain as they pose a technical challenge pertaining to scale of the character. It was easer in San Andreas becasue standard def visuals were forgiving.
• Entertainment inside intertainment is back in GTAV, so expect more cartoons and other forms of in-game media.
• Outdoor activites mentioned include yoga, triathlons, Jet Skiing, base jumping, tennis, and a full golf game on a full golf course.
• Houser doesn't think there will be romances as 'it wouldn't work'.
• Each protagonist has a set of friends to interact with.
  • Lamar: Franklin's friend, a good sort of crazy. He's very funny.
  • Jimmy: Michael's friend, lazy pot smoking 20 year old, they have a confused father-son relationship.
  • Ron: Trevor's best friend, paranoiac conspiracy theorist living in a trailer.
  • Amanda: Michael's wife, he's been awful to her, she's a strong personality, bound to him but they can't stand each other
• Familiar faces from GTAIV and Episodes from Liberty City may resurface, just not major ones like Niko or anyone from PS2 era. PS2 era characters are in their own universe, GTAV takes place in a 'HD universe', they don't co-exist.
• CJ and Tommy are more like mythical characters in the GTAV world
• R* is learning from criticisms about its economy system and will have a fun, vibrant system. No properties, but lots of other stuff.
• Mobile phone concept is back, but you won't be getting calls all the time, it's mainly used for activities.
• Random encounters with citizens are coming back in a big way.
• The dynamic mission system is similar to that of RDR, examples given include helping broken down motorists, figuring out the cause of a pile of dead bodies, being opportunistic and ripping off cash vans, or being a nice guy and catching muggers.
• Multiplayer reveal is coming later.
• There won't be any "major" celebrity names cast as main protagonists.

Um wow, sounds incredible

Now Iam a hipster for thinking GTA is overrated, and I dont have any alt accounts. Iam sure GTA5 will be a decent game, but its getting overhyped like usual, its the COD of the open world genre.

Well coming into a GTA thread just to talk about how great Watch Dogs is and derail the topic, all with questionable spelling and pointless retorts, makes a pretty strong case for you being an obvious alt to a failed troll.

Yes, now get the f*ck out.

One thing does confuse me though, the voice actor of B-dup confirmed B-dup makes a small return, but according to Rockstar, major characters like CJ and Tommy are just legends in this universe and don't play any part. So it seems like they have a fuzzy line drawn on what characters from the SD games to include.

About to replay GTA IV... reading all this news is making me wish I had the game informer and trailer #2 right now... ARGH!

• Features the biggest open world in the series' history - GTA 5's world is bigger than the worlds of Red Dead Redemption, San Andreas and GTA IV combined

Holy sh*t

For those planning on the reading the provided scans, i really recommend reading the part where they describe a mission (the extractions). I wasn't sure about 3 protags but after reading i'm very excited to see the possibilities.

Been taking a break of GTA since San Andreas. I think I'm ready to jump back in with this one, all the new info and having 3 protagonists sounds pretty cool.

fueled-system

I'll go ahead and make my case first, even though you're original argument was extremely compelling.

http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/content/pub/pdf/wo.pdf

Women account for 14% of violent crimes in the US and according to the article, 75% of them are only committing common assault. The chances of someone drawing three criminals at random and finding one female is decent, but finding 3 males is more likely. Finding 1 minority out of three is about right.

Haha no. Rockstar always delivers and this will be game of the generation, you can count on that.

Watch Dogs will probably be a fun game and maybe last 20-30 hours, GTA V will be a game that can be played for years.

I totally look forward to those videos you'll make like in GTA IV! ;D

If this where anyone other than Rockstar North I would be worried, but since it is North...my expectations just skyrocketed astronomically.

Destiny and GTA V will own 2013 completely and utterly

It's Rockstar, you don't have to be worried about interesting worlds. That the world will be filled with detail everywhere is a given.
