Sweet.
Hopefully the R* site doesn't crash like it did with GTA IV's first trailer. :lol:
On another note, why can't we have all capital letters in the title? I tried editing it, but it just wouldn't work. I'll try copy/pasting it from another source to see if that works for the thread title.
Yeah it's a bit annoying!
anyway I got a feeling it will be San Andreas again or a new city like Boston. The greens got to be a hint!

Oh shit yessss!!!
The only game now i still get proper excited about anymore.
I so hope it's back to San Andreas, or a proper LA, and by the look of that logo it seems san andreas-ish to me.

I just hope there's more variety in the scenery, than there was in GTA IV. eg the countryside, and desert areas in San Andreas.

Yeah. The variety in San Andreas as you put it kept the game fresh I think, and moving through different areas was exciting - whereas GTA IV was 99% cityscape.
Being in SA's Badlands or Desert did get a little irritating after a while, but that was mainly because several missions included a huge trek, and if you screwed it up towards the end, you'd have to repeat it. The different areas themselves were a great idea, and quite a welcome change to the life of Ganton etc.
I'm sure I heard rumours a while back, suggesting R* are remaking Vice City. I wouldn't be opposed to it, especially given that I never really played Vice City except pissing about on it, as I was too young to really appreciate it - my time was spent on Crash Bandicoot, PES etc.
I wouldn't be opposed to GTA V being similar in scene to San Andreas either if I'm honest, as it still remains my favourite GTA by far.
For the love of God, please cut down on the chasing missions. It really pissed me off in GTA IV.
Vice City was my favourite GTA. I put soo much time into it. I think it was simply a great game.
As with the logo for GTA V, the 'V' looks like the color of American money and the 'FIVE' font looks like it's from money too.
Makavelian
25-10-2011, 13:52
It's the same font as the 5 Dollar note.
For the love of God, please cut down on the chasing missions. It really pissed me off in GTA IV.
Spot on, Joel.
Well only a couple days till we find out! I'm super excited!

I'll never forget this moment on San Andreas - whilst still on the first island, I decided to go on a little mission to the countryside area. Obviously the poh-leece weren't too happy about this. I'd lost my vehicle and was trecking on-foot through the woods, over a hill. Then I swung my camera around and had the awesome sight of 2 helicopters appearing from behind the trees, ready to gun me down. Made my jaw drop at the time.

What's this? A momentous happening that's got everyone super excited and Joel's complaining? My ever.
Of course. If anyone was actually happy with tons and tons of chase missions in IV, then wow.
They were over used. I'd like a more fun element put back into the game (like San Andreas). We need planes also!!
I have never played San Andreas. In fact, I've never played 2 or 3 either.

I don't want it to get to ridiculous like a lot of San Andreas missions.
It's a shame only Rockstar can make a good game like this.
Saints Row is a pile of wank.
What is this vendetta the dingle has with Joel?
Also, excited to see where they go with this new game. I personally think that money style V, looks nothing like it has anything to do with San Andreas. Maybe people are hoping, rather than thinking?

The bank heist was my favourite part of GTA IV. I'm expecting the new game to be better with more big setpieces.

Try editing it to GTA Five, save, then re-edit to GTA V.
I forgot the option of stop being lazy and just type the whole name :lol:

Man, I feel for you. San Andreas was the shit. It was so much damn fun. Basically, it was IV, but with worse graphics (of course), a greater variety and more exciting environments, more enjoyable missions, more fun overall, along with a better soundtrack too - that's San Andreas.

New Orleans is the only American city worth basing an entirely new game on that isnt a remake. The rest of the cities Boston, Chicago, Philly are poor knockoffs of NY. Maybe revisit San Andreas but I dont see them making another "remake" I want something new.
Who says it's going to be set in america?

25-10-2011, 23:09
Why would they put a Roman Numeral 5 and also add the word 'five'.
Maybe the 'V' is not a Roman numeral and V is for Vegas/venturas.Added with the money theme of the pic,my money would be on Vegas now.
Rumour has it that the game will take place in LA/San Andreas and you'll play as multiple characters
Makavelian
25-10-2011, 23:22
Source?
I wonder if it's multiple characters like Play through one then play through as another, or whether it jumps in and out if you get me.
I hope they bring some of the fun back though. Nothing like flying planes and bmxing off buildings into parachuting.
Citing anonymous sources "familiar with the game,"Kotaku
reports thatGrand Theft Auto V
will take place in a Rockstarified version of Los Angeles, one of the cities mocked up in an earlier installment in the franchise, San Andreas. We suppose the locale makes sense -- wouldn't adapting it be as easy as taking all their assets fromL.A. Noire, then applying 75 years of wear, tear and technological progress to the structures therein?
The source also claims that more than one character will be playable during Five's campaign, which similarly makes sense, considering the extra protagonists which appeared inGrand Theft Auto IV's expansions. We've contacted Rockstar, and are encasing ourselves in suspended animation for the next week or so, shortening the amount of time between us and the game's debut trailer on November 2.

I think the style of the V (i.e. US money) suggests it'll probably be in America.

This would be good, involving burrying someone out in the desert, then having to dig him up again with the clock counting down.

Sure, it'd be interesting to have it in a European city, for example. But if you have it in, say Istanbul, you'd miss out on certain staples of the GTA series. Like cultural references, cameos etc. The majority of the radio and music would have to be in Turkish to remain fairly authentic too.
If it is Vegas, I hope the strip looks better than it did in Fallout New Vegas.
Who says it's just going to be the US?
It could include areas of Canada, as a break for example quite like how they broke up the major cities in San Andreas.
Look at the genius of R* though. They post up simply the logo of GTA V, and the internet is buzzing. Guessing where the location(s) could be, and trying to make sense of the V numeral/lettering. We've already got 3 pages here in this thread on the basis of the announcement.

Best rumour i've heard (actually from a few months back and starting to be respread) is that there will be multiple characters you control rather than just one character.
So the first chapter is character one. chapter 2 etc......ten hours or so as each characters, all with there own storyline that ties into the larger overall plot. I think i'd prefer that.

It does sound quite interesting Jonno, but only if they have some significance to one another I think, otherwise it'd feel too disconnected. Maybe we'll be playing a few with lives parrallel to one another, which helps it all connect towards the end?
I do look forward to it though - a US-Mexican border game would be quite interesting for sure.

That would certainly be interesting, though there would be a danger of becoming "detached" from the characters. Also, the whole point of GTA is the whole "rag to riches" thing. I think that achieving this with multiple characters is a big ask.
I would like to see more of the RPG-esq elements from San Andreas return. From buying houses, changing your outfits and hairstyles, and making yourself fat. They're only little details, but add a bit more individuality to the game.
Perhaps a slightly branching story would also be cool. GTA IV kinda did it with the last mission, but they could build on it.

I know someone that works as a level designer for Rockstar, and I suggested to him that they base one in Wales.
I'm up for that, as long as one of the missions is to kill you with a RPG.

A big task, but could be awesome. I'm thinking two characters arrive in the US - perhaps one Mafioso type and the other being a Yakuza - trying to build the biggest criminal empire in the city/state, with the story culminating in an epic gang war. It could span decades.

Now THAT would be cool, but it's a big ask. You'd have to redo the city several times. For a game the size of GTA, that's a pretty huge task.
Yeah and I don't want the game on 10 discs!

* The protagonist is Hispanic and his name is Adrian
* It takes place in San Andreas in the year 2012. The Mayan end of the world thing is parodied a lot because of this.
* You start out in Los Santos and are in your rivals turf. Varrios Los Aztecas after getting beat up and robbed
* The game revolves around money in a big deal. I’d reveal the big idea but I don’t want to ruin it.

IGN will have it up ASAP, or you could just go to the official site. I'm guessing that pretty much every gaming website will have it up right away.

But most importantly of all...a dog. Which means animals. Which could mean a zoo. Which would mean, among many other things, elephants. And the possibility of riding them through the streets.
The mountains with bears, cougars and wolves will make it all the better. And maybe they can through a malevolent Bigfoot in this time round.

How old was he in Vice City? mid 20s? Which would make him 60 or so, I doubt he has a brother younger than 40..

I wouldn't be surprised to see one or two from San Andreas appear, even if just for a very brief appearance, given that it's only 15 years or so in the future, anything's possible.
More like 21, SA was set in 91' and this game will most likely be set in 2012.

Going back to an earlier point of discussion - do we have any concrete evidence yet that the game world is San Andreas and not just Los Santos (Los Angeles)? Yes we saw the mountains and rural areas in the trailer but that could merely be an extension of L.A. If we were getting San Francisco and Las Vegas, I would have expected to see the bumpy streets, Golden Gate bridge, Alcatraz, the Vegas Strip, and so forth.
Possibly this is perhaps an L.A. specific trailer, and we might see trailers for those cities further down the line, but I can't imagine that would be the case. I'm not that fussed anyway since it looks like the game will be large and varied enough as it is.
EDIT: I just watched the IGN analysis and some of their observations would suggest maybe San Andreas is fully realized...I guess the planes (especially fighter jets) would also hint at a vast world.
Thanks for that TH. Repped.
Quite an interesting break down, but a great one too. It really analsyses the San Andreas area quite nicely, especially for us who've never been to LA, and/or don't particularly know all of the little signs and 'hang outs' for the homeless etc.
Wow. I didn't notice 'Tommy Vercetti' guy (is it him?) was in the trailer multiple times.
Also there's a gym on the beach, does that mean being having muscle or being fat is an option?
I hope they bring back the fun element of the game (Planes, all other vehicles and funny cheats etc)
edit:
I hope they bring back 'skills' where when you ranked up high enough you could duel wield weapons.
Also I'd love for the plane, bike and car schools are back.
Unique vehicles in certain locations would be cool too. Like in San Andreas there was a go cart in a shed on the top of a hill near area 51/the plane school.
I want the gym back.

I just realized sharks and aquatic creatures could be in this.
If so, you can see the 'sea monster' myths already.
If the multiple characters thing is true prehaps we play as 3 different people in each of the 3 different cities.
Mainly these 3 guys, you'll notice, as mentioned in the IGN video, that the 'Tommy' character is in this part as well as the Latin guy.

I think there were sharks in San Andreas, but they couldn't actually do anything. I'm on about 'living' creatures that attack you and which you can kill (ala Red Dead).
oh man that would be awesome.
They need some sort of big foot roaming forests or some shit too.

I'd be slightly disappointed if it was just Los Santos.
Imagine how immense the Golden Gate Bridge would look on the current engine, or how awesome the desert would be, graphically speaking.
It will most likely be the whole of San Andreas, why would they include a place between Los Santos and San Fierro as well as jets!
I bet it will be on atleast 2 discs for 360.
EDIT: Ok just seen the Rockstar annoucement
NEW YORK, Nov 03, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Rockstar Games, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), is very proud to announce that Grand Theft Auto V is in full development.
Developed by series creator Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto V heads to the city of Los Santos and surrounding hills, countryside and beaches in the largest and most ambitious game Rockstar has yet created.
"Grand Theft Auto V is another radical reinvention of the Grand Theft Auto universe," said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. "We are incredibly excited to share our new vision with our fans."
A bold new direction in open-world freedom, storytelling, mission-based gameplay and online multiplayer, Grand Theft Auto V focuses on the pursuit of the almighty dollar in a re-imagined, present-day Southern California.

In all honesty though LA is a HUGE city. I mean it just keeps going and going you want talk about a city designed for car owners its that place. LA county in its own right has plenty of attractions and varied scenery to keep players occupied.
The LA map in LA Noire was rather huge and that was on 3 discs! Maybe this will be on 4 discs as obviously GTAV will include the countryside and mountains/national park.

No comment!
Anyway apparently Rockstar have said the GTAV world is 2.5 times bigger than RDR!!
Jonno394
03-11-2011, 20:11
If true that would be amazing as the RDR world is vast, but until I hear it from the horses mouth i'll take it purely as a fan rumour.
Well I'm going by what someone posted on the gametrailers forum, the user said Rockstar posted it as a comment on their facebook page, but it doesn't seem to show up anymore which most likely means it was BS, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was true.
Also this guy has done a pretty good analysis of the trailer

Makavelian
03-11-2011, 21:24
There retards.
It should be noted that everything below is rumor, subject to absolutely no validation whatsoever. Some of the things he writes do make sense, however, and should make for interesting discussion.
1: The game world is absolutely massive and will push both xbox and PS3 to the very limit in terms of what it has accomplished. Yes, the main city is simply Los Santos however is it AT LEAST 4 times bigger than Liberty City in GTA 4 and that is just Los Santos. The surrounding country side, beaches, etc are massive. For instance, we saw the main character ( an African/American, early 30's) travel by car from the center of Los Santos into the wildnerness and it took over 15 minutes. The views were incredible from farmhouses with cattle, huge wind farms, an oil refinery which appeared to be living and breathing with nearly 100 NPCs working on machinery, operating vehicles, lifting and loaded, etc, unlike the gas works in GTA 4 which seemed to only house a few NPC at a time. The forests are more beautiful than those in RDR and featured people camping, young NPC drinking and dancing around campfires, people riding dirt bikes and jumping over logs, streams, etc. The water effects, forna, plants, trees all looked beautiful.
2: The shooting mechanics have been greatly improved with animations for diving, climbing, rolling and crawling all added for better realism. The re-loading animations for new ammo also look cooler, less static.
3: There is much more climbable elements in the world such as ladders, overhand climbing, etc.
4: There are animals in the game from dogs to cattle but at this time it is not confirmed if you will be able to harm the animals. Rockstar were able to get away with it in RDR as it was a true depiction of the world in which the game was set. Allowing dogs/cattle to die in a game sent in current times may cause headaches with PETA. Its unclear if Rockstar were joking here.
5: There are planes to pilot and they can be crashed into buildings if you choose to do so....
6: Rockstar have included many, many more interior locations such as a shopping mall, college campus, police station, a huge hospital and there is also a vast underground sewer network which one mission later in the game involves a jet ski chase that culminates in a Fugitive-esque waterfall jump ( there are nods to the ridiculous but awesome Ballad Of Gay Tony missions)
7: The city is full of NPCs jogging, weight-lifting, hitting on women, being chased on foot by cops, shopping, washing cars, fixing fences, moving home, filling up their cars, etc.
REAL JUICY INFO:
1: Cars can be upgraded/repaired and it has been considered to have a car have fuel forcing the player to fill her up.
2: The dating aspect of the game is gone. You still have a cell-phone but only people you will meet in the game will call you to ask you to do a mission or to ask you to do something else before the mission.
3: Weapons include the usual arsenal you'd aspect but the flamethrowers, remote mines, laxer trip mines and claymores are included. It is possible now to pick up random objects in a street/buidling to use as a weapon. There is also a museam where it is possible to steal old age swords, axes, etc.
4: it is possible to rupture a fuel line and if you shot at the trail of gasoline it will lead straight back to the car blowing it up.
5: mini games such as bowling, darts, etc have all gone. You can play basketball, weight train, arm wrestle, gamble and cage fight, enter triatholons, water races, cannoing, ab-saling, rock climbing, base jumping, ski diving. More to be confirmed.
6: Character customisation is back but only in terms of clothing, body weight, etc. The player you start off which, much like CJ, can't be altered by race, age, height, etc.
7: Rockstar said burglary missions may return but only as part of missions and not on neigbourhood houses.
8: No children NPC at all. Ever.
9: There is now an ability to grab people and use as sheilds or in "hostage" situations.
10: The cops are much, much, much more realistic. If you kill somebody when you know there are no cops around you will not run the risk of a one star as often as you would in GTA4. The cops will use smoke and tear gas, dogs, riot gear and rams to knock down the doors of buildings you are hiding in.
11: You can enter some buildings and lock doors, push objects in the way to barricade.
12: You become better at things as the game progresses. If you only ride motorbikes then you will increase your skills, same as individual weapons.
13: Certain weapons can be customisable and some even home-made.
14: One mission involves breaking out a very familiar GTA icon from a previous game...
15: Torrential rain fall and sunshine and even tremors will appear in the game.

The stuff about the weapons, barricading doors and police breaking them down sounds amazing.
I don't believe that about killing animals, especially after RDR, which still encouraged players to wipe out Buffalo. I mean I'm an animal lover but it's a game for fuck's sake. What about police dogs? If they're invincible then that will just be shit.

It's hard to tell if this is true, but one fan anxious for GTA news recently emailed Rockstar for more details about their upcoming open world sequel. According to Gameranx, the fan sent Rockstar an e-mail with regards to Grand Theft Auto V details. According to his post on the Rockstar forums, he wasn't really expecting much of a response, but Rockstar followed up with the following e-mail.
"For news on Grand Theft Auto V keep an eye on the Rockstar Newswire in the coming month:

Pleased about the variety of trains, the chair lift (for skiing?) and the cable car. Hopefully the trains can be controlled and will be available in multiplayer. It would be something else if you could cut the wire and send a cable car to oblivion.
If they put the trains and planes in multiplayer they're off to a good start.
Also the number of boats, including a 'Whaler'...I'm seriously thinking there will be marine life in this one. Sharks, whales and giant squids would be fantastic.
Jonno394
16-05-2012, 10:41
I'm hoping the trains are controllable again, seeing as this seems to be a re-imagining of San Andres, I think it will be a given.
I hope for a free roam multiplayer just like RDR mixed in with standard death match multiplayer like MP3, i'd probably stick to the former.

16-05-2012, 10:44
It's the Euphoria engine and asset sharing. It's been happening in Rockstar games for year.
Seems that Max Payne 3 disc holds information on GTA V vehicles.
This would not be the first time that GTA files have been found in non GTA games. Games such as Bully and Red Dead have all been cracked and inside them they to have shown to hold vehicle and other information relating to a GTA game.
It’s unlikely that this is the full list of vehicles.
Snowplough? that would be awesome in MP.
Here's hoping bikes are available.
Only 1 plane?
From the Max Payne booklet too.

Still no release date yet, Rockstar staying pretty low key. There was an image I stumbled across with all the different main characters involved in all the GTA series. There was 2 characters in that image who no one knew the name of.
Wouldn't worry too much, Rockstar are pretty good at keeping a lid on things, plus they tend not to announce in the press, rather releasing their own stuff on the net.
Add to that the recent release of Max Payne, wouldn't make sense to overshadow that with GTA news quite so soon now, would it?!? Max Payne multiplayer may also be a testing bed for GTA as well....
Based on their previous schedules, I wouldn't expect release until April/May next year, with the next big info release in the next two months...

I believe they are also working on a new project called agent. Well I say new, it has been on there agenda for quite sometime now. It seems to be a stop start project. Yes I agree rockstar always hold there cards close to there chest. I am guessing the new GTA will be released next year sometime. Some people have touted it to be released this October but that seems unlikely given how silent they have been. It would be a very pleasant shock if that did happen though :D

By contrast, I'm looking at those graphics and thinking "meh, nothing I've not seen before". I'm not saying they're shit, just that I've come to expect more from other titles I've seen or played on PC and its clear as day that consoles are 'struggling' (for want of a better word) in the graphics department now.

But I know never to expect top graphics for a game like GTA because of the size of the game combined with the console limitations, but I just think it looks really nice the second shot for an open world game. I expect the graphics to be a slightly more polished IV.
Hopefully it comes out for the PC at the same time or shortly afterwards like Max Payne, but I expect them to release the PC version again long time after the consoles release like they did for IV.
Praying on people like me who'll then up buying both versions.

I've only just got a vehicle sleeping dogs and a bit bored, doesn't keep me wanting to play more. Bit of a tacky game when compared to GTA in terms of sandbox games.
The story lost its way a little bit in the middle but on the whole the story was epic. Some of the moments where you have to make choices were implemented brilliantly.
@Fick I think its grew up with its fans. I don't think I could enjoy San Andreas as much as I did when I was younger. There's always the alternative of playing crappy Saints Row if you prefer a less serious game.

I think GTA IV wasn't as interesting to explore as San Andreas. That's probably one of the reasons why people find it dull. If you were bored in SA, you could just spawn a jet, fly off to the bid mountain and jump off it on a bicycle. There was none of that in GTA IV, though I did still like the game in general.
GTA IV sucked after finishing the story because you had a shit load of money but nothing to spend it on! 3 clothes shops, no haircuts/gym, no car mods etc.
I expect GTA V to have the same amount of things to do as GTA:SA and more.
Also, I notice they haven't said what consoles this is for. Prehaps a PS4/XBOX720 launch title?

I for one still preferred the tongue in cheek style of play, with the freedom to fuck about. Growing up is not the answer. I have played all 3 SR games and if anything they took it too far the other way. Shite story, endless dicking about. SA was the best balanced of all the sandbox titles for me.

Good point Ali. The more realistic the setting became, the less the novelty factor

SR certainly crammed in the extras. Though SR3 seemed to try too hard ans was never as much fun as 2 for me

This.
San Andreas had a great story, whilst being endlessly fun storyline-aside. I'd play it for the hell of it, without doing missions a lot of the time, because the core gameplay and added extras were just good old fun.
GTA IV took itself too seriously, and storyline-aside, there wasn't a great deal else to do except appreciate the environment and enhanced graphics. Of course this gets tiresome quick though. I probably reached around 30-35% complete on GTA IV before I just stopped playing.
I "will" be buying GTA V though.

That's what made this game rather ironic, as I said you had limited things to spend money on after finishing the game. All that time spent trying to get to the top then once you're there you can't buy anything!
Like near the expensive apartment you unlocked at the end there is a car dealership place. You can walk in there and steal a car but you can't buy one?!

They better sort online out. The loading between single-player and multiplayer was annoying as fuck. And most of the time I didn't get anywhere with it so it had to reload back to Nico and his phone. Trying to organise games was a disaster with people not being able to connect.
III, Vice City and San Andreas are three of my favourite games, I didn't mind Liberty City and Vice City Stories, but I just couldn't get into GTA IV. Stunning graphics, but I found the story boring and the missions were far too repetitive for my liking.

The box certainly wasn't as sandy as we hoped. Didn't try the multiplayer myself, stopped playing it before the end of the story and really couldn't be arsed to give it a go

Never played the multiplayer myself, and as everyone has pretty much said, single player was boring very quick and not much to do in the game. There were far too little missions that were actually fun or exciting. The odd cruise around the city aimlessly whilst enjoying the graphics isn't enough to warrant the money spent on it. Never finished the game and had no interest in doing so after a while.
I traded in SA ages ago, and pretty much regretted it since. That's actually the reason I bought IV. I think everyone needs to have at least one GTA in their collection, for that mood that only GTA can quench.
Hopefully this next one can combine the great graphics with great gameplay, more things to do, and spend money on.

But online multiplayer was the greatest achievment in human history so far.
Yeah, once I completed the game I just played free mode online.
I played it first online on the 360 but the PC was just too much fun online with the trainers where you could build a crazy race course throughout the city and so much more. The only downside was you'd get cunts spamming tug boats what made the game crash.
If you want to talk about a repetitive game look no further than Red Dead, now that is a fucking boring game after a bit. Gets so tedious travelling about on a horse unlike in GTA you can cruise round and see random gang wars if your lucky or other crazy shit going on. The ending is absolutely amazing in GTAIV.

Say whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa? RDR was amazing. Wasn't repetitive at all. Travelling on the horse was fun, but you could always fast travel if you didn't want to trek.

People complaining about GTA'IV's missions being boring because of the chase missions yet they've always played a big part in GTA games. I think i'm not half way through RDR and just bored of it. How many times do you get chased in that game and you have to kill the goons chasing you:/? It's amazing RDR at first, but then just becomes incredibly boring.

GTA 1, London and 2 imo are mm'eh to OK at best
GTA 3, VC and SA are great or amazing
GTA LCS/VCS/China Town are good games
GTA 4 is an abortion in my eyes

Course it was:w00t. Stick to faggy games like Zelda and The Elder Scrolls .
All these games Saints Row, Red Dead, Sleeping dogs are all GTA fillers and certainly inferior, especially the non Rockstar sandbox games.

Read Dead was superior to GTA IV. I can't vouch for the whole of the Elder Scrolls, but Skyrim is awesome - even if you're not an RPG fan (I'm certainly not).
GTA 2 was great, not "mm'eh to OK" as Jonno puts it. GTA 1 was also very good, but not as good as GTA 2 IMO.

Elder Scrolls can fuck off. Saints Row 3 is the best GTA style game this gen. RDR is one of the best games period.
The mainline Mario series is the best game series in regards to overall quality.

Saints Row story and voice acting is shit, the driving is shit and the physics when shooting someone is a joke.
I enjoyed Saints Row 1 before IV came out, but it's hard now to play such a tacky game like Saints Row after playing such a solid title like IV.
Read Dead was superior to GTA IV.

GTA IV bored me, and felt like it tried to be too realistic compared to what went before.

GTA 3 and IV were both like this.

GTA struck up a nice balance of fun with an excellent story and back story . Red Dead is to slow paced and very little random fun things to do. Travelling about on a horse is also very tedious after a bit.
I much prefer the whole atmosphere of a vibrant city with diverse ways of travelling about rather than a barron land where you basically can only get about on a horse.
Anyway I don't want to get into this again.

Yes, differing opinions exist. Makas on RDR is just wrong.....
I jest really. For me RDR is the game of this gen though. I wish I could like GTA IV, I just can't, I hope V is a bit more fun and colourful as the early shots indicate.

I'm at work, can't watch, sum it up for me or i'll never be able to answer you.
GTA IV became dull, very quickly. Sure, the city and environment was nice to look at, but that's about it - because that's about all you could do in relation to it. Vibrant? Nope. Unless you count drinking, bowling and darts as revolutionary and 'fun'. They were just pointless, stripped away mini-games that added nothing to the story, nor even the environment as they just didn't relate to New York.
I loved San Andreas, and even after visiting New York, I was as you could imagine, incredibly enthusiastic about the upcoming GTA IV. It was just a big let down though unfortunately. They tried to find the balance between excessive caricature fun, and realism, and they failed.
Red Dead Redemption > GTA IV

The city was very vibrant full of randomness what no other sandbox game has come close to recreating. The bowling and darts were shit, but so were the horse shoe throwing game and the knife game.

There's gambling in RDR and hunting. Hell.... they even made flower picking entertaining! It certainly had its fair amount of randomness too.
Mak, I think you'll be on your own trying to argue that GTA IV was better then RDR.
Whilst I'm looking forward to GTA V, I'm more excited about Watch Dogs if I'm honest.

Indeed, and when comparing the likes of horse shoe throwing, and the knife game, to GTA IV's bowling and darts, the obvious difference is that Red Dead's mini-games actually matched the environment and as such made sense. When I think of New York and the fun to be had, I don't necessarily think of bowling, darts and the odd pool game.
GTA IV's mini-games just seemed so very random, with no real bearing upon the environment and how it all ties in. Whereas with Red Dead, some of the mini-games were a part of the environment itself, and as such, they felt natural and therefore it was easier to have fun playing them.

Plus, the mini-games in GTA were kind of a chore, as you only really did them to satisfy your friends who kept calling up at every inconvenience.
Makavelian
17-10-2012, 15:29
Ya know, you don't actually have to do these activities with your 'friends' in the game.
Well clearly it's the preferred game going off you guys but no way represents the majority gamers opinion.
GTA IV online freemode is worth the purchase alone. Red dead free mode is a snorefest.
You can hardly create a ruckus in red dead. Obviously some people prefer repetitively hunting animals rather than causing mayhem and having fun.
I liked getting drunk and then driving. Unfortunately, that's the only thing I liked in GTA IV.

Even Ballad of Gay Tony was fantastic.
Rockstar must've paid every single game reviewer because of the critical acclaim it received. 4 year old game and still shits on tacky new sandbox games like sleeping dogs.

Just because game reviewers have gave it a great score, doesn't mean that their word is bond. I am a game reviewer. We all are. Let's just have a quick look at some of the 'major' game reviewers - both IGN and Gamespot gave GTA IV 10/10. Really?
I think GTA IV being given a perfect 10 from the likes of IGN, Gamespot (and others perhaps), represents just how little weight their opinions carry in my view.
It's the equivalent of saying that a certain music artist is better than another, based upon how many units their last albums sold.

Going off you guys IV is shit, so surely there must be some brown paper bags handed to every professional game reviewer and all the millions that love/loved the game are fools....no? If a game gets top scores so universally there's something about the game.
Maybe if the car handling was cartoony and it had a shit game engine and you could kill people with giant dildos and also streak in the game, it might've been better received on here.
