In fairness, that is a common problem of driving on irish roads, so it's a nice realistic trait of IV:D

Don't forget springtime debates! Can't forget them.

The countryside looks huge! I can't wait for this game!

I wonder how they're going to divide the map up. I'd be an interesting twist if you started out in the countryside, with the city itself not immediately accessible.

My interpretation of the GI article was that you could switch between characters immediately. With each of them being based in different areas, the suggestion is that the whole map will be available from the start.

I'm not completely sure if that's going to be the case though, or if it would benefit the game. I quite liked when new areas became available to explore.

Yea, I read today that the whole map is available from the off.

I really really hope Rockstar fix the AI traffic, In GTA IV my main frustration was when I was crossing any of the main bridges in a new car other traffic would switch lanes like no tomorrow and crash straight into my car :mad:

Worse when stopped at traffic lights and the car behind you would ram into the back of yea. Or when driving a cop car ect with blues and twos when approaching traffic it wouldn't move at all until you knocked the sirens off.

That Guardian blog piece is really good.

Thats a cargo train so that train side mission from SA might be back.

Would be cool if you could hijack the trains and steal the contents. Sometimes you get huge amounts of ammo, other times you get something useless. Unless you do it perfectly and get away quickly while leaving no witnesses etc, you get a three or four star wanted level and as such the next time is a whole lot harder.

I'm just rambling now :pac:

I just want to pile up a load of stuff on the tracks and sit back and watch it all unfold.

Get an old west style duster coat and hat, with a bandana covering your face from the nose down. Hold up the conductor and away you go

Now thats how you hijack a train.

Seen this on GTAForums. A comparison of IV with maxed out PC settings vs the V demo which is apparently PS3:




Loads more but I thought that was one of the best one's.

But the question is.... Are you able to derail them? :cool::pac:

None of the screens we are seeing now will represent the actual in game graphics. They are usually enhanced and not always actually in game screens.

If you recall the early screens for GTAIV they were greatly enhanced compared to what we actually saw.

Two more screens from IGN:

Washington Irving

Just need jetpacks now and all my wishes will have come true


I really hope this plays like a current gen SA rather than an upgraded IV because I hated GTA IV

The map of GTA V is approximately 5 times the size of GTA IV, Los Santos alone being about the size of 2 liberty cities combined.

Your looking at 2 Liberty cities within at least (probably bigger) a RDR map.

I know it will never happen, but I'd love there to be a shoutcast/tunein radio option in one of the GTA games, even if it was DLC and cost a few euro. Will never be possible because of copyright though .

The GTA music is usually very good but it gets boring after a while when you play the game a lot.

gnfnrhead

Those mountains are HUGE!!!

Nuri Sahin

Loving the first pic out of the latest ones.

Blisterman

Has anyone tried to piece together some kind of map from the screenshots and trailer?

For example, you can see the same mountain and lake in these images.
