It looks great. I'm looking forward to this, I just hope it doesn't end up getting RC in Australia like saints did. What makes me the most excited though is the short amount of gun play we seen in the gameplay. RDR weapon wheel + Max Payne 3 style 3rd person assault = Pure bliss. I really hope this lives up to it.
One think I liked from the trailer is that some of the environment can be damaged. Hopefully it isn't just based on a mission or something. You can see it where the truck goes through the stone wall. Anyways, I hope they keep the same driving controls (accellerate with X) since I have the most fun just driving around in GTA.
BTW Rockstar have just put out a job description which specifically targets for PC development. For once, they're showing us alittle love- which is better than most companies who just neglect porting to the PC and do a rough job because of this.
impressed? i dont know... they have alot to make up from the last gta.. gtaIV sucked, i can make a very long list of stuff that was terrible in the game,like there was nothing to do in the game, very low gore wich i though was a shame for gta. terrible car handeling no side missions, a few song's per radio station etc. I see alot of improvement, but little gore so far, and i am realy hoping the car handeling is improved... and more weapons, FLAMETHROWER god gta4 was lame..
A lot of work isnt it? swapping a disk one's in while, getting your lazy ass off the couch to insert a disk.. yeah a jtag comes in handy indeed...
when i play my 360 it sits like a meter or meter n half infront of me and i can reach it without getting off my lazy ass, changing discs is still a pain in the arse lol.
It's a pain when you look over on the PS3 side and it fits on a single media. I'm not complaining it's a lot of work. I played a lot of RPGs on the PSX that needed to swap disc multiple times, like Legend of the Dragoon where you have to change disc depending to where you want to go on the world map. It's just that I feared the same thing would happen for GTA V, being open world and all. Imagine if you needed to swap disc every time you cross a virtual border where the world map is split in half because the whole thing cannot fit on a single disc... It kinda ruin the experience. That's probably why the first disc is a mandatory install, playing with the data only on discs would ruin the experience compared to the PS3 version. At that time I didn't knew one of the disc was an install disc.
For the most part I agree, GTA IV wasn't the best per se, but it wasn't awful. San Andreas is still probably my favorite. The only complaint I didn't understand is the car handling. As far as I can remember, all the way back to GTA3, car handling has always been very loose and gets worse the faster you drive. This of course led to all kinds of crazy crashed (which was fun) but you never really had good control of the vehicles. I thought in GTA4 by making it more realistic it made for a better driving experience when compared to the older versions.
I have to agree, I thought the car handling in GTA IV was leaps and bounds better than the old car handling. My only gripe with it was that it was a bit too 'loose' by which I mean practically every car had too much under-steer, I gather the idea behind this was to create epic drifts around corners during chase sequences, however it does get annoying having to power-slide a car just to get it round a corner at 20mph.
I guess no one played GTA IV on PC. There's ton of mods, and someone did a "realistci" handling. It's awesome !
''I gather the idea behind this was to create epic drifts around corners during chase sequences, however it does get annoying having to power-slide a car just to get it round a corner at 20mph.'' Exacly, so it isnt just me.. that was crazy
correct i in fact, did not play the pc version, i Always played the console version, i completed gta4 with all the expansion packs, did not like it, but i finished all the older one's so i felt like lets finish them maby something cool will happen eventually , to be honest i was so disapointed i completely lost my fait in the serie's.. also because i hoped the expansions where better, but they where not, en that faggot tony edition what was that all about..? is this what gta is today i though, what a wasted of money. i still play the old titels, all of them, just recently i completed gta1 and london again, still play all of them, reminds me of the good old day's haha, when driving over a ped, that funny sound's they make ''wuaaah'' gta3: ''are you feeding the birds?'' when standing on the road hahaha
I've got GTA IV on PC, I must give this a try some time, I've also seen the back to the future mod which looked great for goofing around.
I loved the concept but the execution (pun intended) of the previous games bugged me. I'm not a big mission guy because the controls are clunky, but you can't get access to any kind of expanded maps until you complete the missions. If GTAV is the same where I have to deliver some stupid package across town in 60 seconds before I can drive a boat then I'm gonna hate it. It needs to be more Elder Scrolls and less "it doesn't understand I'm trying to get into the car and now I've fallen down and I only have 48 seconds to get the package across town so I can unlock 20% of the city." I was forced to do so much of that crap before I could get to the real thing I wanted that the game just turned into crap overall.
