GTA V

Why forced, I think you didn't heard rumored features from the guy from PS3 Magazine but then again they are rumors.

It's official though that it will take place in only Los Santos, country side and beaches and will have dogs.

No it isn't it never uses the word only. It says it is a reimagined southern california. We could get San Diego and such.
 
Yep, and despite possibly being only Los Santos, the map is going to be far bigger than Liberty City.
 
4x I believe they said

Just the city...

Basically means a return of planes then. Allows them to really expand the missions again from "Drive to A, Drive back to B with police following" to "Fly to A, Fly back to B with police following" :P

GTA 5 needs to lift the bar for me. I want the cars to handle in a way that is either realistic or entertaining. I want each car to feel different, so if I'm going to be spending 20 hours driving from point to point there is at least a uniqueness in using different cars. I want the gun combat to evolve and actually fit the new more serious direction they've been taking. Cover system needs to be fluid and responsive, guns need to have different feels.

Basically, I want choice. If I want to complete the game as a smooth criminal with no more than a pistol and classical music that should be an option. Likewise, if I want to be a mentalist with a penchant for large scale criminal damage and explosions that should be catered for. Let my criminal evolve how I want him to, not how the game wants me to.

Perhaps a bit too RPG for GTA, but the game should respond to my actions. If I'm a psycho, people in the street should recognise me as such, cross the road when they see me etc. If I'm a deadly and efficient criminal mastermind, no one should even bat an eye-lid.

Still, no doubt Rockstar will yet again release a game that is hyped beyond belief and somehow convince me that it's the greatest game ever made, only for me to realise that half way into it it's the same game I played 10 years ago with better graphics :P
 
I wont buy GTA V unless they include spaceships and intergalactic travel ;) :p

I think it was called Knights of the Old Republic :) A game they are unfortunately butchering into an MMORPG.

Oh well, here's hoping Skyrim lives up to the hype, and that they get on with releasing Arkham City onto my bleedin' PC. Between those two, Dark Souls, FIFA 12 and GT5 2.0, I can't see myself spending much more on games for a while :)
 
You are worried about that? I'm about to go broke because of November :p
Skyrim,LA Noir, Batman, Knights OF Old Republic and Assassins Creed Revelations. :noway Why cant they just release just one big game a month. :spy

Batman's out already on Steam. ;)

Liberty City was one city no?

Like I said - boring.

Sure, GTA IV was a good game, but it took a huge leap backwards as far as a sense of place and scale is concerned. After giving us a whole state in SA, who would want to go back to one city, regardless of how big the actual city was? SA's cities might not have been as big as IV's Liberty, but with the motorways and countryside towns, the whole game felt much bigger.

Serves you right for buying the interactive movie La Noir and the butchered WoW clone KoToR ;)

Yes, thanks Masterblaster. None of that helps my pre-ordered PC version that came with both Begins and Dark Knight in blu-ray for ?25. Granted it was an absolute bargain, but since I seemed to pay for them years ago now I wouldn't be surprised if I could have made the difference in interest haha

I sort of agree, but if they make more of the internal world of the city explorable I think it counterbalances having vast open spaces of nothing. By this I mean being able to enter nearly any building that would be open. Open up the ability to know the streets in another way to just driving them. Why shouldn't I be able to duck into that apartment block, run to the 5th floor, hop out to the fire escape and silently dissapear down an alley while the police (ok cops, as it's American) search the building they definitely saw me enter.

Things like Assasins Creed have shown how making a city have different levels to it can bring a city alive. For me GTA got too caught up in expanding the externality of the game. The databases and humour, the satire and the parodies, they have increased many fold, but has the game really improved much since Gta 3?
