Your main weapons include bows and arrows, tomahawks and arrows with grenades sticking out of the end. When you're low on health you can do a rain dance that brings a healing rain over you. Oh and you have the special power to drive a car by sitting on top of it. Also there's dinosaurs now and you start the game with the jetpack from San Andreas.

moms pubis posted:I loved the cop evasion system in CW. It's the only game in the series that actually rewards engaging the cops rather than just running away from them, and if they refined that system and included it in V it would make me very happy indeed. I'd like to see a combination of the Chinatown Wars and the GTA IV evasion systems. Depending on the situation you can either try to escape or try to gently caress up the cops.

I really hope they return to the GTA:SA style of gameplay. IV was fun, but too serious. I loved the huge world of SA, and it has gotten the most replays of any of the 3D GTA's. EDIT: Wikipedia: quote:On 25 October 2011, Rockstar changed their homepage to display the logo for Grand Theft Auto V with the 'V' stylized like a British £5 bank note.[18] Nothing about where and when the game takes place, no platforms or date were mentioned, nor which Rockstar-based studio will be making the game. Maybe GTA:UK??? Beve Stuscemi fucked around with this message at 19:06 on Oct 25, 2011 |

That's quite a new fiver, I can't remember the old style but the changeover happened in my lifetime (I'm 21) so it's still a distinct possibility that we'd have one set in England. One set in London in the 1960s revolving around the Krays and people would be awesome but I'm still leaning towards a Vegas setting.

I would like to see a GTA:UK, but I wouldn't want to waste a GTA on it, if that makes sense? Then again, it would be great to play. It really depends on how R* would pull it off. The getaway was good, but it had it's limitations of course. A free roaming London Ripoff would be a nice change of pace. It's better than some stupid suggestions like GTA:Prague.

The whole GTA location discussion reminds me of the GTA forums flamewars a bit back when GTA IV was announced. It stemmed to the UK sucks, UK humor sucks, etc etc. This is America, type poo poo etc. . Although I will admit, I at first was severely disappointed when IV took place in Liberty City. I rather not it be a remake of a city we already visited. As for UK?.. I don't know. When I saw The Getaway, I did not like what I saw. The streets were too compact. So that's probably my only negative thing I would nitpick about it being in the UK (based on one game as terrible as that may be). I like having big open space to drive around. I'm sorry if I made a huge general assumption about the UK that may be wrong, but honestly the Getaway is probably the only game I've played based on the UK. I mean there was GTA London, but that was overhead. I just hope we have a sociopath protagonist this time. By no means does he have to be anything like the SR boss. Someone like Tommy Vercetti still fits in GTA series. I thought Nico was at least a good try but he fell flat near 1/4ths of the way. Make it someone who has already established themselves in the mob or something. A corrupt police officer. Something. As for the gender of the protagonist, if it's female, it better be like Catalina otherwise I"m not touching it.  That's another peeve of mines. People going oh, we should have a female main character, just to make it feel new. No, that makes it feel like a gimmick. I rather they do it so it doesn't focus it just because it's a female. Something akin to SR would be fine. Shindragon fucked around with this message at 19:36 on Oct 25, 2011 |

I'm holding out hope for a new city all together. A Chicago, Philadelphia, or something like that. Perhaps even Baltimore, GTA V: The Wire, anyone? That said, if it were to be an already done location, San Andreas would be pimp.

I remember some variation on this idea coming up when GTAV was first rumored at the start of the year. I love it now as much as I did then - the corrupt police thing would be a fresh angle for story/plot, and the gender change (if much less likely) is a great touch that will irrationally anger 12-year-olds everywhere. Seems like a win-win to me. Which means neither will happen

The roman numeral 5 is obviously because it's going to be a Fallout crossover. You play as a Legion Frumentarii who was sent across a portal to a new world to prepare it for the coming invasion by the remnants of Caesar's armies. You do this by taking over the criminal underworld and fomenting unrest everywhere you go.

I really hope that whoever makes the GTA5 thread makes the thread title "BIG loving GREEN V = GIVE ME ALL YOUR MONEY". I chuckle outloud to myself every time I see that MW3 thread on the front page, and it's pretty appropriate here too, if not more so. dvorak fucked around with this message at 20:24 on Oct 25, 2011 |

I hope it has a neat collector's edition. I pretty much never ever ever bother with those but the GTA4 one was great. Still have the keychain, still have the storage box, still use the duffel bag. The only other video game swag I have is the Max Payne mousepad.

I am so e-bonered for GTAV, I still think IV and it's expansions are the best games I've ever played. Even with the obvious faults, so-so story and characters and weird omissions, everything that IS there is just off the loving charts for quality and pure effort. If they make even half the kind of jump that they did from 3 to SA for this it's going to wreck my life. Edit: I still use the key chain and lockbox but the zipper on my duffel bag broke

Wherever it is, the logo makes me think it'll be a financial center of the GTA world - that has to be intentional. There's a lot of space for Rockstar to do their brand of social commentary on what's happened since the release of GTA IV. I'm eagerly awaiting taking missions from a coked out rear end in a top hat investment banker trying to protect/move his assets to keep from getting caught. Edit: Or maybe being that coked out investment banker. monoptic fucked around with this message at 21:07 on Oct 25, 2011 |

I hope this game is like Breaking Bad. You play as a successful businessman that loses his job/home/wife and then gets diagnosed with cancer/another disease, and then you get thrown into a downward spiral of crime and other ridiculous situations in order to survive. Also, holding out for DC/Baltimore. But a new version of Vice City would be amazing too.

Because it's stupid. Either way, I can't wait to buy GTA V Five when it's $30 thirty dollars.

Zedd posted:That is stupid because a lot of watches have roman numbers... True story, I recently stopped wearing my watch because I could just check my phone or car clock, and I found the watch distracting as I was driving. I was going to the cinema with my buddies and out of curiosity asked how many of them still wore watches. Out of about 6 people only one of them had one on, and only then that was because he lost his phone. I call GTA4 GTA Ihv. Not Eye Vee, Ihv. Don't ask me why but I can't read the IV as anything other than that.
