did like the original GTA 1 and 2... for was ok, but this game has nothing to carmageddon!

kotaku seems to think it will be set in los angeles and there will be more than one playable character.

Co-op option?

no co-op, no care.

I'll be happy if the game supports cards that have more than 2gb ram on it. Still can't play GTA4 over 25 fps even with a 6990.

Ironic as s*** considering that the game runs at 25fps on a card with 512mb of vram due to it using f***tonns of vram.

My SLi 1.2gb (each) video cards run it awesome. Looks brilliant.

Grand Theft Audio Visual?

and there will be more than one playable character.

FINALLY

unless your main character is a super cool guy (flynn taggart etc), you need character selection. srsly, that bloody san andreas was almost unbearable with all the black nigga gangsta f*****ry.

Jesus christ.

No i'm pretty sure his name was Carl Johnson

Jesus Christ was a wog jew

CJ was far more likable than Niko. I couldn't stand Niko.

lol hardware.

I wasn't a huge fan of all of the 'baller gangsta' s*** in GTA:SA but I was a HUGE fan of the 'gang war' section of SA.

I am superkeen for a sequel. For overall bang for buck and gaming experience, I find it difficult to top the later GTA Franchise games.

as cool as multiple characters in the game would be, the biggest shortcoming in the game series I know of, is it's lacking multiplayer.

Improve the Multi (and co-op would be farkin JAWSOME) and a new city/character to know, and I will quite literally throw my wallet at the price tag...

yeah fair enough butler carson, all them ethnic minorities are kind of stupid considering the average gamer is going to be a 16 year old white middle class play station snot

San andreas was the best GTA because of the black nigga african american homie top dawg gunit gangsta bawss ballin big gheto booty banging, hoe hatin terry tate pain train playa stuntin, real talk spitin, smack her with a dick poke her in the eye chris rock comedic ill rhymin, chicken wing crunching watermelon munching kool aid sipin n' killin f*****ory, ever.

Yeah I liked it too. Felt like I was a character in Boyz in the Hood a movie I love. I remember one of the early missions heading to the fried chicken store and then having a drive by shootout on the way back. Was gangsta as.

you have me crying in laughter here fixah, wd&hf.

GTA:Hamsterdam

San Adreas was s***. It was just released at the height of the whole "yeah I'm a gangster wnnabe hip hop listenting f***** who's favourite movie is training day" phenomenon*

Vice City was and always will be how a GTA game should be done.

Edit* - beaten by Fixah, damn you! :P

Hey, i liked training day :(

Denzel Washington is so dreamy..

So I don't feel like making a thread about it but Rockstar have upped the price of LA Noire on steam to $80.

So I just watched this countdown go down to 0.... then it reset with 5 hours added on. All I wanna know is if GTA V will even be on PC.

Haha, must of been set to desktop clock.

Could anyone even understand Jacob in GTA 4? I'd be concentrating on driving and he'd just be yakking and yakking in his rasta bs accent and I could not for the f***ing life of me understand what the c*** was saying. "niko, ma bruddah .... .... . ... we ... ... ...kill .... .... avenue...... hurry ..... park around back"

Yea I had issues understanding that stoner too.

wagwan is "What's going on" "wunlav" is one love, "oodboi" is rude boy, "noancatestme" is no one can test me, "Seen" is See what I mean? "an ting" is and stuff (thing?)..

PS: I liked GTA4, but i actually liked the ballard of gay tony much more than the original game. The main character in that was pretty likeable.

What I like about GTA4 is noone has those pussy moment where they go "Oh dear i can't believe mommy grew me up to be a killer, what am I doing with my life". they all pretty much just man up and be who they are.

Yep, set in Los Angeles.

And the return of... PLANES!

No mention of release dates or platforms though.

Wii U exclusive





















Imagine if true..

Gotta say, the graphics look incredible. They built a solid engine there with red dead too.

Just throwing it out there, i'm thinking the narrator is possibly Tommy Vercetti ala GTA Vice City

It's definitely not Ray Liotta's voice though.

Brilliant looking trailer.

the trailer looks amazing. Its nice and vibrant and does really well to get a mood/feeling across

The GFX look very polished, 570 should be able to handle it......if it even comes on PC.....

Woot, 0:50 shows that semi trailers are back, alot of stupid fun was had in SA wuth them :) With the jets I take they are attempting to remake the San Fransisco / Vegas area as well? Good on them if they pull that large area off with that detail.

Hopefully they also bring back other SA vehicles such as the Monster Truck, and the tow trucks, so I can do s*** like this again hehe :)

God damn that graphics engine looks amazing. Hopefully it can run this time though.

f*** me dead the graphics look awesome

I will go crazy with excitement if the next trailers show San Fierro and Las Venturas.

Wow I must of seen a different trailer than most people here because the graphics to me didn't look all that amazing. Sure they are better than GTA4 but not by much and sure as hell not as good as GTA4 with the iCenhancer mod on. Still though as long as this runs more than 30fps with my 6990 i'll be happy and willing to buy it.

30fps with my 6990

DM, get new drivers... whilst I can't quote you how many fps I'm getting it runs a LOT better than 30 on my 5870 Eyefinity 6 edition (2Gb Ram).

Oh i've tried everything. It's a problem with the game engine in that it doesn't recognise cards with more than 2gb video ram. You can force the game to run with more memory through commands but doing that means even on medium everything i'm lucky to break 25. Funnily enough if I turn on that iCEnhance mod I still get the same FPS but it looks so much better. Strange strange game engine and a rather big oversight on rockstar's account. Apparantly there is a fix for nvidia cards though but not ATI. f***ing ATI, regret buying this now. Think i'll save for a 590.

Haha that was awesome Guv

How much VRAM does a console have? Prob no oversight at all on their part.

Now I wonder if Rockstar will deem it "viable" to release on PC........

http://www.joystiq.com/2011/10/06/rockstar-red-dead-redemption-on-pc-isnt-happening-not-viable/

If so, it'd be nice to get some mod tools. Surely they've seen what the PC modding community has been up to with GTA4. Looking forward to getting more information about this game.

DM: Why don't you follow this trinket of info i stumbled on

1.Make a shortcut of LaunchGTAIV.exe and move it to your desktop.

2.Right click on the shortcut and click "properties"

3.Then add this to the "target" (or something like that):
"C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV\LaunchGTAIV.exe" -norestrictions -nomemrestrict -availablevidmem 5.8 -percentvidmem 100

This works with a nvidia card with 3gb of vram.

Crafty side-by-side trailer between San Andreas and GTA V...



Works best in fullscreen though.

lol @ how s*** SA looks compared to V

That was awesome Nerfy, good find :)

i don't know how long it's gonna take people to realise that san andreas was playstation kiddie s***

A new vice city would be awesome... still the best game in the series IMO.

This thread made me go back and see what all the fuss was about as I'd played all the others but never played Vice City until the weekend just gone.

I must concur with your statement, Vice City is pretty damn awesome.

i was hoping for another gangland gta :(

Meh. Did anyone else play GTA4 but not finish it? I was pretty underwhelmed, they need to do something more exciting with GTA5.

yeah i didnt finish it, only 1 that i didnt

Didn't finish it cause of the bloody characters. That and the shear amount of computer power to run the damn thing.

I didn't finish it because it made it too easy to do a mission, get to a save point, and be afraid of starting playing more which I wouldn't be able to save until I got to another save point. Plus for some reason, in GTAIV I couldn't drive for s***.

I got to some mission after your cousin gets killed, where you have to shoot down a helicopter from a boat but every time i get in the boat, i leave whatever warehouse, then I start shooting the helicopter, i land like two rockets on the damn helicopter and then i die.

After the 4th death at the exact same spot I got bored, then i changed my pc parts around, so i had to install windows x64 to run the extra 4gb of ram and the fact i had two 470gtx's with 1.2gb of ram each. I forgot to back my save up, and there's no way I'd play through to that again.

However the ballad of gay tony was pretty worthwhile, the characters were much more likeable. Not sure about the lost and the damned, i've never really been into the whole biker gang thing. But I might give it a shot after exams.

There were cool bits in gta4 mostly I always love getting into a suit and gunning people down on jobs.

Somewhere in it you have to assassinate a guy who's in hospital and i died 3 times, the first time after killing him, i throw a molotov cocktail at the police who stormed the place, sadly it clipped the roof and hit me. setting me on fire and killing me. Seocnd time i decided a grenade was better, but as i threw it either someone shot a door, or it closed itself and bounced back killing me. Third time i just got shot by the police.

What I liked about GTA4 is every time you have to redo a mission the dialogue between people changes, it feels a lot less failed when there's almost more content from dying the first time. But after a couple of deaths they usually just say "Lets just drive in silence" and you feel bad.

Edit: Oh the expansions, they happen during the exact same time that the vanilla gta4 happens, so when you're luis lopez or whatever the guy is in Ballad of Gay Tony, you start in the bank heist that you do as Niko Bellic and his shady irish friends pull off. Your story crosses paths a few times it's pretty neat, makes the world feel more filled in.

Not a fan of GTA anymore check out http://www.ausgamers.com/news/read/3176907/sleeping-dogs-hands-on-preview

Might be a nice change in scenery

<--true crime fan

I really loved Vice City I was obsessed with it, but then I played the newer one, only partially, and it was a f***ing terrible game and now I hate GTA and it would be hard to get me to buy another one. I wish I could sue to get my money back, plus extra money for wasting my time.

I finished it and liked it. Can't say the same for Saints Row 3, it's 'charm' wore off rather fast. I've liked all the GTA's so far.

saints row 3 had missions that were actually fun and varied, plus it maintained the humour that was a staple of the gta series. iv forgot the humour and had repetitive drive here and kill this person missions.

Should be awesome!

looks good

cool posting to get the achievement hahah...

looks awsome

So, anyone heard anything new on this ? Long time no see , especially if it's meant to be realeased this year. But I guess they'll just start selling it after max payne 3 gets out.

or you could quit spamming and lower your prices if you want to compete with www.ozgameshop.com

Apparently the game is out in a month or so and we have very little media showing it. I want wallpaper and screenshots, maybe even a demo.

Where'd it get announced it was out in a month?

At indro JB HiFi they have a whiteboard behind the main sales desk and I noticed they had April for GTA V when I was purchasing my Transformer Prime. Not sure if it's legit, but seemed weird to have it right out in the open.

they're probably just making up release dates to try and get you to preorder.

Vice City was my 1st GTA and still my favorite. I went back and player GTA3 loved that too but 4 never really hooked me.

I had the most fun with vehicles in San Andreas.

SAMP was great fun too, used to play it online and at LANs :D

Where's the edit button gone?

I've played all GTA's cept for the london expansion one.

two new screens.

So it was announced Spring 2013 for PS3 and 360.

bring out ps4 and this as the tittle game =)

Or just bring it out for pc and have a graphics option of high.

Again with a delayed PC release. They will probably make excuses like "making it better for PC" but it will probably end up un-optimised and we will have to wait for a series of patches or perhaps fan made fixes.

I hope that is not the case, It would be awesome if they gave the PC version extra stuff like free DLC or things they cut from the console development. Im still waiting on RDR too.

like free DLC

lol

sure why not

I'd like to see it on PC, but it's (the GTA Franchise that is) 'at home' on a console.

I sincerely hope that the multi-player has matured somewhat from even the likes of Red Dead Redemption. (GTA IV's was kinda rubbish unless you had/have a 'party' of 8-16 mates willing to play)

As single player games, Rockstar are churning out pure gold.
As for multi-player... unfortunately the same can't be said.

I'd like to see it on PC, but it's (the GTA Franchise that is) 'at home' on a console.

gta has been on PC since the original release in 1997...
