No chance of Vice City. That will probably be the first next gen game so I doubt they have much, if anything, for it on current gen. Would be a massive waste of time and resources when they could wait and make a killing on the next full game by returning to the scene of their best III era game.

I'd agree with that. A polished/refined Liberty City for all intents and purposes could be 'dropped in' the GTA Online universe due to it being created on the same game engine, but I can't see them building an entire Vice City map for it. That will be a huge money spinner for them if/when their first next gen game is released.

A San Fierro or Las Venturas city would be more likely imo.

Cheers Sheey83 for the crew invite. I believe I have you on my PSN friends list already.

Haven't seen this pic till today, another angle of the runway in Blaine County.

I'm guessing those maps will be available for Online like what COD has. Of course, those maps are quite old so they'd have to be upgraded with newer textures and animations. It would be extremely impressive to see if it were to happen and I'd throw all of my dosh out for it

ScrubsfanChris · 18-08-2013 07:13PM

Its been 655 days since the first preview trailer was released :eek:

The next 29 will seem even longer

Delighted. Purely cos of the amount of PC owners that constantly go into console threads to tell us how great their PCs are.

Royal Irish · 18-08-2013 09:47PM

It was an 8 month wait for IV to come out on PC and this time round it could be a lot longer.

The money is in consoles so I wouldn't be surprised if after the game is out on current gen consoles, the guys at Rockstars main focus would be to get the GTAonline part of V out on the new consoles with more players and better graphics maybe. Porting it over to PC might be put on the back burner.

lee_baby_simms · 19-08-2013 09:43AM

Only reading now about how high the demand is for this. Dammit.

Is there anywhere I can preorder to guarantee the game on release day?

zl1whqvjs75cdy · 19-08-2013 09:51AM

Getting a bit late in the day for pre orders I'd imagine. Chance a gamestop if there's one near you?

py2006 · 19-08-2013 09:56AM

Any you guys upgrading your TV for GTAV and the next gen consoles? I know this aint a tech thread so if anybody has any recommendations and what to look for to improve gaming experience I would be delighted with a PM.

I'll give it a go.

I reckon I'll end up driving to the local tesco at 7am.

Have a 50inch plasma ready for this launch

gonna be epic

Furp · 19-08-2013 11:27AM

GTAV is the first game I have pre ordered in years, normally I would just shop around on the day but it sounds like it may be hard to come by and I would be worried if I had not pre ordered.

Don’t forget that since the last GTA there are less options for Brick & Mortar stores, Game, Zavi, HMV & Chartbusters all gone, plus a lot of the independent games retailers.

Another option to Tesco may be Argos, I was lucky with them before to find a game in stock no one else had it. Plus what you can do is keep checking their website and as soon as it shows up you put in a reservation they keep it until close of business the next day.

Maybe preorder on Gamestop.ie and choose priority shipping?

Or maybe Gamesnash still have some copies left?

weiland79 · 19-08-2013 01:47PM

I just put a tenner down on a copy in Gamestop Liffey Street in Dublin 5 mins ago, so they're still taking orders.

Hogzy · 19-08-2013 01:49PM

Does anyone know how quick the shops will restock. I dont plan on getting it until the following weekend (20th Sept). Would stores be restocked by then do you thinK?

yeah but you'll need to preorder it. I foolishly didn't preorder IV and it wasn't in stock anywhere around Waterford for nearly 2 weeks after release.

Did they say that they'll definitely have enough copies to cover all their orders though? I wouldn't like to pre order, then land in after work only to be told to come back in a week or so when they get more in.

Early October for wave 2 is what we are looking at here.

That's not necessarily the case for individual stores / chains that are pulling stock from already bought in central allocations though.

For those pre ordering off us ...

I think I have gotten everyone who PM'd me sorted but if you wouldn't mind double checking your order status on the site to make sure it says boards.ie priority pick. If it doesn't drop me a PM so I can make sure you're in the first pick run.

As a comic aside / general observation the boards community here are currently heavily weighted towards PS3 - so much so we're likely to sell out of PS3 altogether long before Xbox as it's starting to skew our overall stock levels.

Well Pat it is clear to everyone here that the reason for this is that

Playstation ROCKS!

And

Xbox sucks !

( may not be true and is quite possibly a poor attempt at a flame war)

They're to busy saving for the overpriced xbone...

...mods are now starting to get worried :pac:

Royal Irish · 19-08-2013 03:11PM

Most of the boards crew are PS3 users. That might explain the current 10% win percentage :P

Zero-Cool · 19-08-2013 03:16PM

Xbox users kicking PS3 arse on the Crew leaderboards. Of the Boards Crew, PS3 users have a combined XP of 222,465 while XBOX have 1,217,673. Saying that, their highest earner djkeogh4 has 3 times the XP of all PS3 users combined.

Fair Play DJKEOGH!!!

M00lers · 19-08-2013 03:26PM

Any idea if this is going to be available via PSN Store?

Jesus I was only joking, but when you put it like that. Fair play DJKEOGH.
