As big as Daggerfall? I think not. That's huge.

I got bored of GTAIV as well. It was too repetitive. Sure it looked nice, especially once I'd plugged in my overclocked GTX460 and turned up the draw distances, but I got fed up of the gameplay.

My favourite bit was the radio station that would play your own music library...

Agreed.
My favourite part of San Andreas/whatever it's called was driving round the mountains and canyons and such like. That's when I used to think the graphics were good.




I liked Red Dead Redemption. I actually got depressed when John died.

this! I used to love to smoke some weed, pop in GTA4, wait till night time and drive around the park in upper broker while listening to "The Journey". No killing, no speeding... just driving around high obeying all the traffic laws.

It has more to with the atmosphere than the actual map design. Like, I thought San Andreas had a very similar vibe to Vice City, for example. Plus, the idea of a new location was one of the biggest things I was excited about for GTA V, so I'm pretty disappointed.

Mainly, though, it's that the basic gameplay mechanics hasn't changed at all. I think one way the series could be improved is to focus completely on creating an immersive world and abandoning the concept of a main storyline altogether. Not that I didn't like GTA IV's story, but after a while it just felt like an average third-person shooter that happened to be set in one giant map as opposed to a bunch of smaller ones.

But it isn't really a massive world/city/place when you take into account that the only buildings with interiors are stores, and there are only a handful of those.

Basically the game is just a bunch of roads with giant stone boxes all over.

Driving into people and watching them go flying off my screen is fun though.

I was really impressed with GTA IV, and I've got high hopes for this one.

If I'm lucky, those hopes won't be crushed by this game the way they have been for every other recent game that wasn't Skyward Sword.

Dregen

Don't really care about this. I've never cared for GTA.

FearMyLightning

SA didn't feel like VC at all to me, felt more 90's and less 80's (lol) but mostly it was all that wilderness and stuff. It didn't feel as, idk... Beachy either.




Rockstar is the one developer that I can half-trust to deliver. I mean I bought Red Dead Redemption, I didn't even think I'd like it, then it turned out to be badass.

My favorite thing to do in gta is searchbarring like crazy til the cops catch me.

Flying Couch

Yeah. I think pretty highly of Rockstar, just everything else recently except Zelda has been so crushingly disappointing to me that it's difficult to get too excited.

Hopefully the selection of cars, and more importantly the selection of motorcycles, is excellent. Thought I saw an R8 Spyder in that vid.

BottleOfSmoke

it's called scenery. cities are basically just a bunch of roads with giant stone boxes all over unless you're willing to break the law in most cases (trespassing). I don't live in a city, so it was cool to drive all over the place and take in the different areas.

i'm looking more forward to max payne 3 than gta 5. i'm a big fan of the max payne games and have been waiting years for the third game. i was kind of disappointed with gta 4, i like saints row the third a lot better.

I'm worried they won't change it at all and just think 'GTA IV was successful lets do that again but with a different story.'
Basically I think it needs something that makes it different from other GTAs to hold my interest

Yeah, that sounds like it would be cool every once in a while but not when the character lives in the city and drives down those same roads every day. Then it becomes monotonous, because nothing ever changes, really.

I'd also like to see NPCs get more of a personality. Right now all i've seen is them scatter when I drive up to them/honk at them, and some buy hotdogs from stands. They're basically walking mannequins. I want them to interact with eachother and make it feel like a real city.

I want the option of being able to break the law, and enter peoples houses and apartments.

FearMyLightning

That's why R* makes oncoming traffic turn in front of you.

Edit: So you want to walk inside a house, to see a bunch of furniture and maybe a TV?




I haven't seen any GTA 5 threads.

Jackintehbox

Lol @ people not getting excited for this game. GTA IV was one of the most well-made games ever, and I can't even think of a disappointing Rockstar game that I've played. GTA V will be amazing.

burghUK

I hope they add anti-aliasing this time. GTA 4 looked really really bad.
