http://www.kotaku.com.au/2011/10/grand-theft-auto-v-will-be-set-in-los-angeles-may-star-multiple-characters/ "Insider sources", so take it with a grain of salt, are claiming that it's going to be set in L.A. and will feature multiple playable main characters.

I don't care where/when GTA is set, so long as the basic requirements are met: 1. At least a few street cars with a top speed of "gently caress you pigs" 2. Helicopters 3. Rocket Launchers So basically anywhere in the world set in the 60s and up and I'm happy.

I'd be surprised if any of the GTAIV characters make another appearance. They said after San Andreas that the IV signified a new storyline, so I'd assume moving from IV to V means the same. And besides, if you consider the expansion packs to be separate games (and Rockstar probably do), we've already finished the GTA IV trilogy.

Intel&Sebastian posted:Why would you put out a big V colored in the styling of American money if you're going to be doing GTA London? There are people who are so convinced that it's London that they tried to compare it to a random V on the five pound note. It would kind of make sense since it's a similar font, except for the fact that the "five" over the V looks exactly like the old five dollar bill. Some people will go very far to grasp at straws.

I really hope they drop the multiplayer trophies from GTA5. I was all psyched up to make GTA4 my first platinum and was making solid progress thru all the single player trophies, then I tried the multiplayer. I don't think I finished a single trophy after that. I know there are people who love GTA multiplayer (a few of them in this thread) but it's definitely not for everybody. The ridiculous amount of grinding even if you did like multiplayer in GTA4 was just too much.

I really hope Just or Unjust returns for GTA5. It was my favorite radio program in GTA4 and whenever it came on I would just stop driving to my objective (if the time allowed) and listen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vk1wNuHg1FA RELEASE THE LION BGrifter posted:I really hope they drop the multiplayer trophies from GTA5. I was all psyched up to make GTA4 my first platinum and was making solid progress thru all the single player trophies, then I tried the multiplayer. I don't think I finished a single trophy after that. GTA4's "Wanted" achievement is the most ridiculous online play achievement I've ever seen. I actually tried to do it but stopped half way because it was just so draining to keep doing it. The math behind it is just staggering, I probably got this wrong but I'm tired so let's run at it You need 5 million to reach Rank 10, and the fastest way to make money is to play the Co-Op mode "Hangman's NOOSE" on Hard. You make a minimum of $4500 per completion, and it takes roughly 2-3 minutes to complete it but most people get it around 3. $5,000,000 bank / $4,500 earned = 1,111 completions 1,111 completions * 3 minutes per play = 3,333 minutes (or 56 hours) This is assuming that every single attempt is successful, where you survive to the end of each one and everyone knows what they're doing. This isn't counting any downtime between games either. Good god, I know there must be a few people here who have Wanted and I just can't fathom how they did it.

GTA V will be based in on generic SE Asian island nation with strangely variable climates and you play a Panamanian black ops agent with a retractable grapple hook and parachute. And there are no stores or styling options, you just blow poo poo up. Actually no. One of the funniest parts of the SA radio was Chuck D talking about RPG games, specifically: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxTFDNbSWHs

Yeah I hate when games force-feed me fun and exciting things to do outside the main storyline. As if they can't give you more things to do and also play around in the sandbox on your own.

Hidden packages (along with photographs, flying rats, and what have you) are boring, and a lovely way to provide the player with extra activities.

Arkham Asylum had a good collection system because you only collected a few things, and every time you collected something you got something to look at or read or listen to. Killing 200 pigeons was boring and annoying. Mainly because they were annoying to find and there was no gain besides getting 100% and I didn't even get that damned key because my modem died at 11:50 and I didn't realize til after midnight. Something interesting, yeah cram that in the game. A bunch of stupid collections, no. Or at least don't require it for 100%.

Arkham Asylum was one of the best collectables systems I've seen, but those sorts of systems appeal to me in general. I like having optional mindless grindy tasks I can do while watching a movie or something. It's the same reason I enjoyed doing a bunch of WoW achievements as something mindless to do while watching TV shows. I'd be totally fine with them seperating it from the 100% completion. Make it as optional as can be.

I think they could make hidden packages more interesting by not placing them in random places. A part of the reason the Riddler's tests are fun is because he acknowledges them as challenges. Make the hidden packages related to the drug trade or something. Someone has stolen a ridiculous amount of coke from your gang, and you use any clue you can to find the stash. Maybe there's some in the trunk of an abandoned vehicle. Maybe in a trash can. Make it so that the player is more aware of their surroundings, much like how we are when playing Batman.

I'm playing SA on steam and it's very crash'y. I downgraded from 3.00 to 1.01 (to get my native resolution availale). But I keep getting random crashes. From what I can tell it's the frame limiter (being off) causing problems. But with it on, the game plays at 25fps, which is a nightmare.

I remember when I bought Vice City, I collected all the hidden packages before even doing the first mission(by getting to a Helicopter somehow, I think I parked a truck somewhere and climbed it to get over one of the fences they keep you in the first area)

I bet GTA V is gonna go back to Vice City. It'd be nice. On a different note, is anyone as (stupidly) disappointed as I am that they're already releasing another major gta title? I think they shouldve let more time go by and make some more in-between GTA games like Vice City and San Andreas were in-betweeners to III. Because then, the move from III (+ VC & SA) to IV was so unfathomably groundbreaking and I fear going from IV to V wont be anywhere near as amazing as it's probably going to be on the same engine IV ran on and it will look pretty much the same as IV, L&D and BoGT. Dont get me wrong I think the GTA series is one of the best video game series ever made but I kinda couldve waited longer for a new big title... v  v
