    Re: Grand Theft Auto V



    Importantly, Rockstar has also addressed criticism aimed at San Andreas, where often you’d be in the countryside only to find you had to get back into town, which could be a 10-minute drive away. That won’t happen in GTA V. “One character might have an ambient activity that takes them out in to the countryside; if the player decides that they want to do something different they can switch to another character and be back in the city ready to start their next mission,” says Benzies. “Having three characters allows players to explore the whole map without having to worry about the long drive back to their next objective. Also, while the countryside might be more chilled than the city there are plenty of things out there to keep curious players occupied.”

    Ah yes, the countryside. The surrounding areas of Los Santos and beyond were some of my favourite bits of San Andreas, and in GTA V it looks like Rockstar has learned a lot from Red Dead Redemption in bringing them to life, not only with dynamic events to experience but in terms of the wildlife you’ll discover there. “The setting of Red Dead Redemption meant that animals were a necessity for the ambient world - something we hadn't required in GTA previously”, says Benzies. “But because of the scale of the map [in GTA V] and the different kinds of areas involved, a countryside without animals would feel quite hollow. At the same time, animals aren't just a backdrop - you can expect to see dogs guarding areas and causing the player trouble when they try to sneak past them.”

    While the sheer size of the map is a first for GTA, the fact it’s completely open from the start is something we’ve not experienced in the series before. But such a move throws yet another handful of new questions into the mix – is the player restricted in any way, and how to do prevent someone near the beginning of the game getting their hands on the coolest stuff? “All vehicles will be present in the world from the start of the game, but they won't all be driving through the city waiting to be stolen,” says Benzies, continuing, “If the player wants to get their hands on one of the more ‘high end’ vehicles early in the game they'll have to work for it. For instance, airport security won't let you just wander in and steal a jet, they'll give you some serious opposition.”

    Discovery of weapons is slightly different though, as the GTA producer explains: “Weapons are slightly different since we have to find a balance between giving the player freedom and giving them a challenge. Letting players have any weapon they want, whenever they want it, would make earlier missions less of a challenge and less satisfying. That being said, as the player makes progress through the game they will build up a satisfying arsenal.”

    Grand Theft Auto V isn’t just about the guns, though. If the heat gets a bit much there are still a handful mini-games to enjoy, from golf to tennis to the triathlon, which makes a welcome return. But are these merely a distraction or has serious development time been invested into each one? “Not everyone enjoys fully fledged tennis and golf simulators so we try to offer a mix of accessibility and depth - we don't want to make the player spend four hours learning an intricate control system but we don't want the player to feel that these are throwaway distractions,” says Leslie. “These aren't a huge part of the game but offer a change of pace from car chases and shootouts and add to the life of the city.”

      I'd rather just hop on a jet and parachute out. It's I how to roll to work everyday.

        Re: Grand Theft Auto V

        i hear some missions will require a certain amount of money to unlock, can anyone confirm this.i think this is realistic because it means you need to get the money to eat and pay for electricity and cell phone costs without having to actualy pay for those things which would get annoying.i would suspect micheal needs like 10-20 times as much money as franklin.
        i tried not touching anything when i was younger and ended up pissing all over myself.

          Yes, it's been mentioned in a few articles.

            thanks for clarifying, i remembered hearing it was like that and dont remember where but also remember hearing its unclear wether thats going to be the case or not.i'm, realy excited for the plane crash mission, franklin in the desert chasing a crashing plane on a fire, must be a crazy mission.

                anyone else want realistic police.for example, if you bump into another car, you get a ticket (would instantly deduct from your money because having the cop walk up to you and everything is boring and will be impossible to resist killing him).they say money is going to be important, if you bump into a cop car, your license is suspended (i'm going to assume everyone is going to get suspended every 5 minutes) and you need to buy fake licenses.would be nice to get into a fist or knife brawl without having to deal with the cops sometimes, so maybe just replace those with just tickets as well.plus i heard they improved the melee combat, so i cant wait to get in some brawls.

                  Re: Grand Theft Auto V

                  no. that would be overkill. if i got a ticket every time i hit a car and my license was suspended every time i hit a cop car i would never have money or a license.

                  i just hooked up my laptop to my TV and watched the first trailer like that.. i know what i'm doing for the trailer tomorrow. it's going to be awesome.

                    you should be scared and have something to lose, they could add an option to turn that off, but if the cops arrest or kill you, you will pay some kind of fine.maybe early in the game everytime they kill you, you lose 1000 dollars and later on or if micheal has alot of money early on, he has 20000 dollar fines.as you progress through the game, the fines go up.you just have to have something to lose when you are wanted.

                      Then we will need video of your nature mishaps. Either that or I'll get it on the same system as you and drag you out into the woods to fight animals.

                        Anyone up for OS hunting group?

                        Would be cool if they added in a mini game like that. A bunch of player get online together and go into the wild and hunt. The game scores your biggest kill and the best kill wins out of everyone. Like everyone has 15-20 minutes to kill a animal (Wild dog, Bear, deer, rabbit, etc) then waits until everyone who entered the mini game either A: Kills a animal or B: Runs out of time then the game grades your kill based on animal, size, etc.
