Grand Theft Auto [V]

[StepS]

I don't really see the need to create a new console, since the ps3 is powerful enough to this date.

have you read?

all PS3s of past, present and future are fully pwned by hackers now, Sony is on all feet

PS3 is pwned, it is blown open and no longer secured, and cannot be secured, nothing will help, it's a master hack.

i wasnt talking about graphics, im aware thats better.  im talking about the party system, and network.  i like playing online with people, and the party system on psn network is terrible, beyond awful even.  If you don't play online with people than it is no problem, but if you are like me, i value online play so i got an xbox 360.  i dont notice much of a graphics change between the two, at least not enough to make a difference in my choice.  If sony fixes their damn network ill buy a ps4 for sure, but they havent even made simple changes or patches. 

ah gotcha Walrus.
Well, I guess there's no accounting for taste. The multiplayer part is what I value most in a game as well. It's just that I got used to the ps3 system.
For instance, you can plug an usb keyboard and mouse into the ps3. Although you can't obviously use it for games (not sure if there's already a hack for it, ask Steps for such competencies ) - it's suitable for everything else.
It's quite useful when it comes to typing; registering, signing in, browsing in the ps.store, chatting without having to use the mic... You know, I don't feel like actually talking to ppl who I dont know on the headset all the time. Also, bluetooth headsets are available for the ps whereas the 360 lacks bt interface.

I reckon the 360s got a better service for the party mode, worth the money thankfully... however I'm still inclined to think that the ps3 wins this one since it pretty much does the same job at a better price. To each his own;)

I dont like the graphics, especially grass and faces.
beyond two souls is good example how rendering of the faces should be


and now this

its rather comix or cartoon than photorealistic graphics
grass is just nine-way fan model, such technologies were used on doom 20 years ago, on background there is electrostation absolutely without anti-aliasing, texture on box looks in size like under 64x64 pixels huh
but well if you take a look you can see there is no anisotropic filtering on road at all, I think its screenshots from real footage on ps3
so I hope it will be much better on pc before they release it

I have no clue about that subject 

Yeah the graphics may not look like the example you posted, but I prefer playability.

Cool stuff though, it seems you know a lot about it Impo

When I'm playing I don't care about graphics too, for me analyzing graphics is something like hobby, that's mostly cuz I was game developer myself
By the way if you take a look at screens from original GTA iv you can notice that graphics looks gray, without bright colors, it's because of special filter, making everything gray, (its make it looks real) but on eflc, ballad of gay Tony mostly it seems to be deleted. On screens from GTA v there is no filters at all, and this make it look like a cartoon

[Prankster]

I don't mind if the graphics won't be that awesome, I just want more options, possibilites, interactions, story.. Hope I won't need a power plant for that

Ok, the story looks amazing.

trailer of michael looks like trailer of the sims 4, srlsy

thanks for all the updates impo.  i think im going to make this the first day 1 purchase of a game in years.  looks like it will be worth the wait, finally giving me what i want.  i wasnt so much of a fan of GTA 4 as I was San Andreas because of the variable terrain and wide variety of drivable vehicles.  looks like there is going to be a lot of San Andreas-like sandbox design in this installment.

Yup, this is exactly like me, and I presume a lot of gamers. I never really cared about gtaIV, it was fun, sure, but in the long run it felt like something was missing. From the trailer it seems like Micheal is a Vice City tribute, Franklin - San Andreas and Trevor is something fresh to add to the pot.

All you had to do was follow the damn train, CJ.

San Andreas was my favorite also.

It was the customization I'm sure.

For me, the next logical step in the GTA franchise would be to incorporate RPG (at least westernized) systems deeply into the game.

Elaborate on the customization seen San Andreas, clothing, body form, etc, and extend it to other things such as, leveling up weapons, driving, car mechanical skills, stealth, burglary, brawling, whatever, allowing for different game styles* and the unlocking of new features (a high car mechanic skill would allow you to mod your car with better gear progressively, for instance) giving the feeling of progress and goal.



*allowing the player to choose how he wants to complete the game, by force, by driving skill by drug dealing or by charm.

Don't want to hijack the topic but GTA Vice City is half price in the Android and iOS stores!

San Andreas was my favorite also.

Either this or being able to ride bicycles in the hood.
