Official gameplay video was finally released:

Sep 17th can't come fast enough. But part of me doubts its going to look as good as it did on the video (at least on current gen consoles)

MainManiac

Nevermind it was fake, not sure how that got around, 6k people were watching


Here is the actual video released today though. Thread is now pointless

Video there wasn't loading, but there is this, which may or may not be the same thing?

edit: I see you caught it there frell, looks fantastic, especially compared to 4, going back to its no nonsense fun roots by the looks of it.

Yes read second post :P

should merge this thread with the already GTAV thread.

But IT LOOKS AMAZING!

holy shitballs

this game looks so good!

Its nice to see that they introduced new gameplay mechanics...swapping characters on the fly like that looks like it could be fun.

That city is huuuuuge.

ae.

it looks so awesome! cant wait!

The main story missions, at least as they've described it in the video, remind me of the "Four Leaf Clover" mission or whatever it was called from GTA: IV. From beginning to end, one of the most enjoyable missions I've played in a game for a long time, and the apparent freedom with which you can complete those missions.....wow.

For current gen it looks stunning...although I know i'm still going to pick Saints Row IV over this. I could just never get into the GTA series.

NEEDS MOAR SUPER POWERS!!

Renamed the title of this thread so that it can become the official thread for the game.

Would be nice if the OP updates it with information, links and so on so it becomes our own Master Thread for the game ala NeoGAF/SomethingAwful.

Well, this is GTA ... it looks, plays and sounds like GTA. Why is that a problem?

Looks... hmm, a bit overwhelming for me. Having just played the Last Of Us, I loved how it was a linear story and not much in the way of time expensive side extras.

Impressed with it's scale and scope but I'm 100% this will be in my 'never finish' category due to time constraints. If only I was 14 again.

Its tired and lame and they wont get my money from it. You put out essentially the same game for ~15 years and you bore a lot of people.

Baron Flame

The game's looking awesome. What makes me wonder is the player switchability, if I must call it that. It's not that it's bad but I am afraid it may cause some detachment from the main character(s) in the game.

BAWSAQ....cracked me up

dont know if trolling...

GTA 4 + addons was one of the best experiences i had in games.
i think its super awesome they build gta 5 with 3 characters from the start.

i was realy frustrated with gta4´s ending but when the addons were released i realised it was ment to be one game all along, but just too ambitious for them to pull of at the time.

Awesome that this doesn't interest you, but there are 15-20 million people who disagree with you. Companies don't stop making games that sell those kinds of numbers. It's basic business.

CrazyMatt

I'm totally stoked to buy this one!

So PC version is gonna be awesome after 2 patches Just kidding and hopefully they patched out most of the problems with GTA 4 + DLC. Probably do what I did before get on PS3 and get it later on PC for mods.

If your not a single character then who the hell are you?

Looks pretty epic, cant wait to play tennis and buy stocks in the game. Why play anything else.

littleclaude

If thats what the guys in scotland can make on current gen I can not wait to see what they get up too on next gen consoles.

Whats the betting they make one more current gen game or do you think this will be the last?

You play as 3 characters, and there's a multiplayer character, it seems like you can seamlessly jump between characters, it'll probably be like the other gta's where there multiple missions you can do at any given time with different characters and story lines, but sometimes you just have 1 left.

I mean, did you watch the video?

Calabi

It was a joke, a play on one of Arnies lines. But yeah its going to be weird playing as three characters.

WarrenM

I don't think it'll matter much, really. I never feel connected to my guy in GTA since he's almost invariably doing something I didn't want him to do or getting killed in some stupid way that would never have happened if he'd listened to me. :P

Yup. Isn't it great when some companies don't ruin their own sequels and instead continue to reinvent the formula they know will work? Choosing to expand rather than change is great.

Doesn't happen much nowadays. I love the experiences I have with friends on GTA, and I love how much detail scales with every new release. They're staying well within their range compared to games like Saints Row which became quite comical. But in their defense they had to become different because theres no way they could compete with GTA directly.

ZacD

If they released small iterations of the same game every year I'd understand your complaint, but each new GTA game is a huge update over the previous titles, plus really well done acting and story telling. Some of the best characters in any game. And also some of the most detailed and fun open world sandboxes.

Jedi

How is it updated in any way except graphics *slightly*? Seems like 99% the same gta we all played on playstation 2. Some weird cutscene then drive somewhere and do a mission then repeat over and over but in a boat.

Seems very very dull to me, something that would be cool if you're 16, no offense.

Amsterdam Hilton Hotel

ability to plan out missions could be very cool! would definitely change up the somewhat tired mission formula if it's a significant system.

but even besides that, euphoria physics plus guns and cars still makes me fire up 4 once in a while. definitely looking forward to this one

ZacD

I wouldn't call it slight upgrade in graphics, and the weird cutscenes are well done and fun. A better looking GTA 4 with a more diverse and larger map sounds good. No other sandbox game scratches my quirky character itch, but there are other games that do sandbox better, and there's a lot more options these days.

ILLMATICC

I think they have gone beyond expectations with the level of content. The scale of this game is mind boggling :poly142: Im glad they kind of went back to the customization mechanics of San Andreas cos that made the game so much more enjoyable imo. Cant wait to playyyyy

Why play any game then?

You sound like you've never played it online with friends. No game will ever compare
