Grand Theft Auto V

[fatleg3]

I have been looking around the internet on news for the next grand theft auto on ps3/360 but the only thing I can find is a bunch of sites saying that there are rumors that gta v will be announced at the e3 conference that just past but I dont think it was because it would have been big news and everyone would be talking about it. With that said, does anyone know if and when will there be anthor gta v.

Also i loved gta 4 but it just did not feel like the other gta's. The things that made gta into what it was where the gangs, story, etc. was not in gta 5. How fun was it to go into another gangs hood and have a shootout or whatever else. The story mode was also kind of boring to me. There was no twist or turns or anything that made you want to keep playing it. I mean whats so intruging about niko findin out one of the men he was looking for was some flamboyent gay person now living the fast life. the plot did have its moments but it just didnt have the thing in story that made you say "Dam the was intresting, or wow i didnt know that was going to happen." So while the idea of the story was great, the actual story itself was not. If niko was tryin to climb his way to the top or even if the people he was looking for was somehow closer then he thought nd workin with someone of the people he was close to/were some of the people he was workin with then the story would have been a lot better

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

While I may have a different feeling than you on the GTA IV storyline (I thought I remember it being pretty good to me) I agree that I'd love to see if there's any GTA V information out there. I've heard random rumors they may return to San Andreas for the next game but that's it.

I sort of missed the wide range of everything offered in the original San Andreas. I miss flying the huge planes, riding four wheelers through the woods, burning crops with a flame thrower, riding a bike up a mountain (and base jumping off the top). Hyrdaulics, pimping rides, wider clothing accessibility, haircuts, swimming underwater. I loved GTA IV for what it offered, but I'd love a GTA V with GTA IV quality plus all the options provided in San Andreas.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

one thing I fully expect (and hope) to make its way into GTA V is the "random encounters" that are in RDR...

Red Dead really brought that "living world" that GTA has been trying to achieve to life, and if GTA V can take the things that RDR did right and improve upon them even more... oh man its gonna be good

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

RockStar, Blizzard, and Polyphony have to be my favorite developers. They are never satisfied with the status quo. Whenever this is released I am sure it will be bigger and better than RDR. I wouldn't expect anything less. I would love to see GTAV on PS4.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

I mean im not saying i didnt like the story line but it just didnt feel it was on the same level as the other gta's. But i still loved gta 4 for what it had to offer. Their is nothin i would want to be changed except a new city, and add some of the things that made the other gta's great.
But yea its been over two yrs since gta 4(dont seem like it has been that long). Gta 3 was came out in '01, vice city came out in '02, san andreas came out in '04 and liberty city came out in '08. So I hope we dont have to wait another 2 yrs before gta v comes out. But I think that this series has benifited from the longer development cycles

Weren't there a couple of random encounters in GTA4? I know the serial killer thing was random and not really part of the main storylines.

yea gta4 did have them. they would pop up as little blue icons on the hud/map/radar or whatever you wanted to call them but you had to walk to them to trigger it. On RDR you would be able to see or hear the random people having trouble with something like wolves, bandits, etc.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

have you played RDR? yeah there were a couple of "random ppl" that you could meet in GTA IV, but it pails in comparison to what RDR did (so much so that it is really an insult to compare the two)

RDR really made it feel like there was a living/breathing world happening around you (the awesome animal ecosystem helped) and did a great job letting you interact with the world

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

Damn it!! I seen this thread and thought that Rockstar made an announcement.

Um, yeah I have played RDR. RDR's random events was obviously based on what they had already done in GTA4 except they made each event smaller in scope while allowing more "random" events to occur. I suppose RDR's stranger encounters would have been a more accurate comparison, but whatever.

I'm not going to argue with you over which R* game had the best "living, breathing world" feel because they both create a gaming world that really feels alive.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

I'm curious what City GTA V will be in and what the theme of it will be.

GTA III = Mafia
GTA: VC= Cocaine
GTA: SA= Early 90's West Coast gangs
GTA IV= The American Dream

Each city(or region) had a central theme that meshed really well. All these games were also satires of America, this is really overlooked IMO and it is what makes GTA games so great. I assume GTA V will continue this tradition of pairing cities with central themes, here are a few off the top of my head:

1930's Chicago= Gang wars and corrupt politics
Present day Southern Boarder= Mexican Cartels and drugs
Detroit= Unemployment and hopelessness
Any Major city= Islamic Xenophobia

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

1950's = Afraid of Russian Bombs....


I would love to see a GTA in the 50s, 60s, or 70s.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

After seeing the movie Pride and Glory, I would like there to be a GTA story somewhat similar to how the story worked in that movie. Of course, we play as the Edward Norton character that is in that movie.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

I think New Orleans would be fun for GTA, not only for the music but just because you know R* would do some great social/political commentary.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

I'd kinda like to see a GTA in Europe, perhaps involving the mafia in Italy or Russia.
