R* themselves say the game world is going to outdo everything else they've done in terms of scale and detail. Already figured the countryside would be a pretty big deal from the trailer + screenshots but it's good to know it's gonna be way, way more than just Los Santos. Also the return of underwater swimming hinted at? Or maybe they'll give us scuba gear and harpoon guns :q:

I have an issue with Vice City where the transparency for plants (mainly the large bushes) is hosed up. What I mean is that when looking through a transparent part of the plants, anything behind it is invisible. It makes it really difficult if you're trying to drive through an area with a lot of the bushes together because then your vehicle is completely invisible. Does anyone know what I'm referring to and if so, if there's a solution?

Not putting RDR and GTA5 on PC seems weird when thet put GTA4 on some pretty aggressive sales. I cant imagine they dont make money on it.

If this doesnt come to PC I guess I probably wont get it :(

Let me introduce myself, I'm a social disease.
If they released an HD Vice City + Vice City Stories for PC pack updated to be compatible with 360 controllers i'd definitely shoot my cashload into their moneybag.


EDIT: GUYS, please can we stop reminding us pc gamers that we'll never get the chance to play a good western shooter? Everytime I see RDR it makes me cry inside. As much as i've wished for a surprise RDR release I don't see it coming, and the 360 framerate makes me cringe so it infuriates me even further. *sigh*

Didn't the engine for RDR have to be torn down and rebuilt a couple of times and Rockstar was all "It's just not profitable to tear it down again for PC configurations, enjoy LA Noire!"? Bums me out. :(

Also if we're wishing for remakes and poo poo I would loooove a remastered San Andreas. I miss you, Radio Los Santos. And KDST. And Radio X.

I'm actually a bit nervous about how dogs are going to be used. Please just let dogs be my little buddies, Rockstar. I don't want to shoot them or make them fight.

I also don't want them to spread misinformation about Pits and Rottweilers to the impressionable European teenagers on GTAForums.

What is this poo poo? Racking up body counts in the high five figures is fine but you freak out over the thought of shooting a digital woof-woof?

Seriously, those kinds of posts make me laugh. I remember being in 4th grade giggling at parking my car on an old lady carrying her groceries home, but dogs and lady cops are SACRED.

I wonder if people would drive carefully to not hit stray dogs if they added it to a GTA game? And eventually, after accidentally killing them enough times just not care. Which reminds me, stray dogs & cats digging through trash and crossing streets would definitely create a greater sense of realism in the cities.

This is pretty much how it ends up for every object living and inanimate in the GTA world.

I don't go out of my way to kill people in GTA or sandbox games unless the weapons are fun enough to make such an act a blast. Since GTAIV didn't have fun weapons, I never really went out of my way to slaughter innocents. Still, I didn't particularly like killing innocents in IV either, but none of that has to do with Niko's character.

Really, I don't have much of an issue with shooting dogs. Guard dogs would make things a bit more interesting. I would just really hate if they had any dog fighting in game because that's less about killing something and more about horribly abusing it. I'm also a little uneasy about how certain breeds are depicted.

These are obviously pretty unfounded fears, but the image of the dude with the angry dog had me a bit concerned.

For reference, I felt bad in GTAIV when you had to kill the pretty decent lawyer and when I found out that you killed Jim.

I didn't actively try to kill peds unless it was something hilarious like pushing them in front of subway trains pulling into station. And if they were crossing a street while I was barreling through I didn't weep and reload a save or anything.

There were plenty of domesticated animals to blow away in RDR, dogs included. You can even make buffalo an extinct species. I never heard any uproar about that. Why would dogs in GTA be any different? Not that I would do a dog any harm. Here's to hoping Rockstar puts in cats...

Looks like the GI reveal is going to be released digitally, too.

Since we're taliking about realism what are the chances they'll bring dismemberment back? Probably won't happen this generation because they'd need a new engine. But why did they take it out to begin with? Were the advances in graphics making it too disturbing?

I think full nudity of both sexes is inevitable in V because there's now precedent in Rockstar's recent games.

It was just with the sniper as far as I know. You could shoot someone's leg off and they would hop around before dying, I think. Australia did have some pretty significant cuts (wasn't it completely banned/recalled so they could release a censored version later?)

That is what I was thinking when I read that too. Obviously there are already jet skis confirmed but I wonder what kind of other vehicles will return (sea sparrow/skimmer please)

Also, female cops. I didn't notice they were in the trailer until it was mentioned in this thread. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awYG68r2Sz8&t=55s

I am pretty excited for the Vice City iOS/mobile port. I was just playing it on the xbox the other day and it really didn't seem like it aged well, but I played through GTA 3 on the iPhone and even completed the painful ambulance missions. I thought the port was pretty good and the graphics were quite impressive. I am just hoping that the iOS version won't require me to update my iOS version -- that is the only reason why I can't play Carmageddon on my iPhone and it sucks.

Yeah I remember that from GTA 3. It also made me think that they intended for dismembermen to be in the game, because the death animations fit so well with it. For instance when i shot someones arm of, they would clutch the stump while looking all surprised.
