It shouldn't be now that we have an R18+ rating, finally.

It is legislation yet? Because if all we have is in-principle approval, it wont be in effect before GTAVII.

EDIT: Comes into effect Jan 1. Woohoo!

God damn it! :lol:.
 
It's Franklins dog!? Well then that's interesting :).

It is interesting. I just thought it was some random dog at first.

And it's been a long time since, I've played RDR but on second viewing, the house that Trevor burns down, does bare some resemblance to the house on MacFarlane ranch.

Interesting new details from Game Informers new podcast.


You can't play the entire game as one character, though sometimes you have to do a solo mission as a character to advance the story
No co-op in the story
Some missions with all thre characters you have to switch between them, and then later on you're given the opportunity to switch at your leisure
You can't kill any other character while playing as one of the three
Michael can walk around his house and interact with his family
Can buy clothes
In free roam you choose to play the character you want
Each character is from a different part of Los Santos but you can go wherever you want
Natural Motion Euphoria is used like IV, RDR, and MP3
Entire map is open from the beginning
LV and SF are definitely not in the game
Dowtown area of LS is smaller than Liberty City
During the demo, the game and switching characters ran perfectly with no lag
Swimming underwater confirmed, plenty of places/areas to explore
Plenty of boats and hoes
Internet on smartphone
Lots of TV shows
Trevor able to set things on fire when he wants, not just in missions
Each character has their own inventory and money. Subject to change before release though.
No CJ
No characters from III, VC, or SA
Couple of familiar faces from IV will visit
Variety of races including cars, bikes and triathlons
Still working on Wanted system
Rockstar declined to comment when asked if the 360 version will be multi-disk.

Yay I can burn house when I feel like it!!!!!
 
Sure will. I mean me and my mates still play GTA IV 4.5 years after it came out. We even find new fun games to play :lol:. So if that's anything to go by GTA V will be brilliant to play 10 years after it's release :D. (Or when the next GTA comes along :P)
 
Just waiting for RDR and Undead GOTY to turn up at my door now. I heard the story was good so for 17 quid I grabbed it with both hands.
 
You've never played it? You're in for a treat.

I played it once and was bad with it round a mates and wrote it off cause I'm not the biggest fan of the Wild West but I've decided for 17 quid I'd at least be getting a zombie thing so it's worth it even if I don't like the normal version.

I only got RDR for the first time about a week ago, and I have to say, all-round it is an excellent game, the environment is pretty awesome if you stop and look around it, and the whole thing is kind of "better resolved" than GTA IV was. Undead nightmare, I've played a lot less - great idea, but I 'm not convinced I can be bothered to keep up the mayhem for long enough to actually get into it.
 
IGN has apparently made a Q&A with Dan Houser...

“GTA V: Burning Questions
Answered”
.
Though this has the least bit to do with GTA, I enjoyed Houser's take on the current gen.
Some other people talk about the limitations of the [current] hardware. We don't feel there are that many limitations. We feel we can do some very impressive stuff and do it for a large audience. This felt like the way... There'll be a much larger audience on PS3 than there will be on PS4. At a creative level, which is the most important for us, we could say everything we wanted to say and do everything we wanted to do on these machines. We didn't sit there saying, "We'd like to do this in the game, but we can't." There's plenty of power in these machines.

People on the web always complaining about how games are so limited by today's tech., yet here's Rockstar pushing the envelope once more with such a vast & gigantic world full of stuff. Of course, this is all yet-to-be seen content and there's always a give & take issue, but I applaud Houser for standing behind the current gen.

Agreed. Thats coming from devs who are known for astronomical quality and pushing consoles to the limit. I always knew there was more resources available than people make today's tech out to be.
 
I agree, look at games like the last of us and GTAV. They can do that but you can't do a little arcade game?

Yeah, I enjoyed that too.

And I also enjoyed him noting that there are some cameos from some minor characters in GTA IV. Most of the main characters were killed or killed by the player's choices so it's only going to be some subtle minor ones, but this means that GTAV is at least in the same canonical universe as GTAIV, which I was hoping for.
 
Neither of those links say that the PS3 is the lead console, just that the demo they played was on PS3. At this stage in the dev cycle that doesn't mean anything as both versions would have to be well into production.
