I appreciated the lightening of the jet fighter picture and side by side view of the guy. Yeah he should've looked back a few pages or checked the timestamp on wherever he got the news but it's not like there was massive breaking news he was pushing off the page here. At least he was talking about actual new GTA5 stuff.

They mention there that they think that new car is now called the "Cheeta", instead of the Cheetah but I was trying to figure it out myself and I think it's just the glare hiding the H. It'd leave the other letters off-centre too and "Cheeta" just sounds too cheesy for R*.

Si vis pacem, para bellum



is it wrong to hope that suit man is Donald Love? Because I'd never skip a cutscene if the main character was voiced by Kyle MacLachlan :allears:

I'd really like if you'd actually start as this small time crook, perhaps even Mr. Love (who've lost his entire group) who has to build up a new empire, with more emphasis on perhaps buying stocks and making hostile takeovers.

Torching rival companies, throwing their bosses off bridges, bribing journalists into doing slanderous news stories. It'd be the coolest GTA ever!

Also - could this screenshot confirm the idea of multiple protagonists, seeing as how this appears to be the one of the characters from the trailer, and also a different character than the man in the jet fighter?

Making some small research about this, apparently the CV of some GTA employers had a "project finished for October", so it would make sense if it were just slightly delayed to November, its a worthwhile rumor that blows all the other dumb leaks out the water.

Its probably false too, though, I can't see it happening, why wouldn't a date like that be announced 3 months prior?

In the first few shots we already have stuff that wasn't even IN 4. You know, like a country side, mountains, bikes, dirt bikes? All signs point to a complete return to form, from the exciting and rumbustious color palette to the hinted multiple protagonists.

GTA 4 failed in a lot more departments than vehicular variety, and GTA 4 also had amazing looking environments (which are still amazing to look at to this day, to its credit)

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
Tennis minigame: confirmed!

Seriously though, these screenshots are loving awesome. Can't wait to see what else they have in store for us this week :f5:

Sure they were amazing to look at, but it was still a bit stale. The third act was just an uninteresting, bland mess. I already know I can ride a bike up a mountain and parachute off of it in GTAV, that's a big difference.

If its out in only three months well drat they kept a tight lid on it. Its looking a bit more likely to be so than it was before but I still think its going to be at the least six months before its released.

HOW ABOUT I LASH YOUR SHIT


nemoulette posted:

That's something I thought of lately. I recently played through GTA III again and I've been doing TBoGT again the last few weeks and it struck me how much more I had the GTA III Liberty City memorized than the IV version (despite having played it in three different games/story lines). Being able to take cabs and especially having the waypoint system is very helpful, but there was something wonderful about being forced to know where everything in III was.

One of my best/worst memories of III and Vice City was when a mission started with a nasty time limit, or ended by hanging you with a ton of stars, pausing the game, and sloooooowly looking through the in-game map, checking that against the paper copy that you had marked-up with where police bribes and body armor were located, carefully planning a route that would get you safe and sound, unpausing, and instantly having that plan ruined by a piece of poo poo Landstalker cutting in front of you. :argh:

Edit: Oh hey, new page, new screenshots. This is looking gorgeous.

People jump to :siren:CONFIRM:siren: stuff very quickly. I remember one of the GTA4 hype threads after a trailer was posted people were saying kicking down locked doors and storing guns in the boot of a car was confirmed.

And I'd be amazed if November was the release date, that seems very soon for such a huge game. I'd think April/May next year seems more realistic.

Still excited for the game though, and I was one of those apparent weirdos who enjoyed GTA4 the whole way through. :)

Supposedly Take-Two confirmed it'd be released before the end of the fiscal year, which is March of 2013, so I guess it has to be before then? Not that it necessarily means anything, nor do I know where that information comes from, but whatever. Come onnn November date.

Admittedly I'd say there's some room for error, but the picture of the guy parachuting into the canyon seems to feature a black/hispanic guy, and other posters have said he matches another, non-suitdude character from the trailer. I don't remember well enough to confirm/deny that offhand.


edit: then again, the motorcycle/pedalbike shots seem to feature even more people (different builds at least, anyway) so I wouldn't put it past rockstar to just be doing model swaps for promo material to keep people guessing. Nobody really knows, I guess, but it's fun to speculate!

There was a black guy running away from cops and walking in a few shots, now that you mention it, he might be the one on the bike too. (Hard to tell in both times, he's either too far away or not seen from the front)

Oh man, what I wouldn't give for a ten-hour long sandbox game in the vein of Alpha Protocol. Something along the lines of the diamond heist missions from the GTA IV games, except you only get one perspective on each playthrough depending on what character you're playing as. It'll never happen but it would be so good
