The moment that Grand theft auto is set in another country, it will no longer be grand theft auto. The point of grand theft auto, from its characters an stories, even its radio stations, is that it is a satire on America and American culture.

GTA: London 1969 was pretty rad.

As long as they give the main character Rico's grappling hooks and parachute from Just Cause 2 they can make the map as big as they want.

I thought if I posted that III was too big I would have to defend it, well I'm surprised.

If they just remade the map from III with a sick engine and a ton of interiors I think I would never put the game down.

Then they could.... make that tunnel accessible!

EDIT: Oh poo poo wasn't it accessible in Libery City Stories and underwhelming?

Also, as I'm typing a shallow post... I think moving up to Five would be substantial if they got snow working good. Could be a really fun element.

Speaking of snow. Either I"m remembering something wrong, but wasn't in SA when CJ goes back to LC for one mission, it had snow? (it didn't snow though I remember that)

Would love to see snow in a factor. Oh man just imagine getting chased down by cops in the snow. That would be a bitch.

edit: drat it I have work today. Quit trying to make me pop in GTA 3 you guys!

Yup when CJ takes the plane over everything is covered in snow.

Even with the same gen engine as 4 if the environment is huge and varied they will get away with a scenic trailer. I really can't imagine story or characters being featured that much.

Ive always lumped this into the teaser category but I could be wrong.

I would say anything that shows game content = trailer.

Now if it was just black bg and text with some music saying "Coming 2012" then I wouls say teaser.

I really like the stuff like all the dudes standing around that underpass, the homeless guys, the change in tone from the bright and upperclass areas and the urban decay areas.

They aren't just going to put an invisible wall there. Obviously you also have this:

It's also funny how all these "leaks" come out after the trailer is released, when anybody could just be making stuff up based on what's already been shown. The real way to leak information would be to post it all a couple days before the trailer so everyone believes you after the trailer comes out and confirms lots of the stuff you said.

Yeah that's what gets me. There was absolutely no leaked information until Rockstar announced a trailer was going to happen and then all of a sudden people start to talk? How convenient.

Why would you ever want to switch characters if you're only making GBS threads over what you've already accomplished with a previous one?

Because it would be fun to hop between the guy with it all vs. the guy with everyone against him. It's all about how you balance it.

I think a lot of people got the multi-character vibe from the GTA V trailer.

I'm weary of it only because you're telling me Rockstar would just e-mail them an acceptance and not call? And if all their interns didn't have NDAs they would be leaking information all the time. Just doesn't add up to me.

I would gush over something ridiculous like late in the game having a 2 floor parking garage and being able to walk by all the ridiculous cars I've collected and picking out what I want and speeding off, knowing all of those cars are accessible forever (have an option to delete from garage).

The trailer was cool as were the screenshots, but until you show me gameplay, I can't help but feel like this is going to be another GTA 4

We have bikes, planes, and parachuting confirmed with amazing looking environments. They've shown enough to prove this isn't 'another GTA 4'.
