I wonder why they would use different levels of encryption on the game, did they want people to be able to hack parts of it? folks If you don’t want to risk spoilers I’d still be careful where I’d look online, from what I saw they have hacked dialogue for some missions, heck I even found a PDF of someone who started to transcribe it. Obviously it’ll be a few weeks before we know how accurate some of the info out there is, but I’ve come across some pretty big storylines/spoilers without looking that hard. If it’s in anyway accurate it’ll definitely be an amazing game though!!

A lot of the spoilers were fake/guess work. Only the audio was extracted and that was just the news reports which were often vague enough.

Just a note to ask that no spoilers be posted in this thread, even with spoiler tags or behind links. Keep it to official release discussion only. We've created another Spoiler thread for spoilers.

Im sure they release more. Im wondering can we ride horses. Im going to say yes. Also I can't wait to see what happens when we hit a horse in a big articulated truck. Will it go flying away with legs going opposite directions. GTA V, the friendly way to carry out animal cruelty:D

Horses would be great. Although there has been no mention or imagery of them which makes me doubt it.

Would be great to ride a horse through the city.

I wouldn't be surprised if they added them, They've added animal functionality from RDR why not horses too.

(Imagine running over a horse ............:cool:)

Im nearly full sure I've seen horses in some of the gameplay footage.

So if there were horses... how long before you'd take one to the golf course to mess with the rich folk. :P

Imagine the image of Trevor in his jocks coming over the horizon on a white horse just after the golfer has taken a shot and has his hand shielding his eyes from the sun as he watches the ball. :pac:

To your right there is a barn and corn silo............

Is that a horse standing next top it??

Sweet mother of God....is there anything this game can't do??!!

Made my preorder at lunch there...v.excited. The very attractive girl said that the 2 game trade in didn't get me the exclusive version (approx. €85 or so), I thought all preorders automatically got the blimp? Or is there other kinds of versions going around?

That is the special edition for €85, you still get the blimp with the normal game.

Is there a list of games they will accept for the 2 game trade? GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption will never be played by me again I reckon so I want rid!

Its actually a pretty big list - and yes both of those are on it....trade in 2 games, plus 9.99.

I traded in RDR and the latest COD game (whatever the **** its called, I've lost track of the names for it)

Nice one, I think I will head up today then and get rid.

I think the latest COD was Modern Blops 8 Zombie Warfare: This Time, It's No Different Than Last Time, Or The Time Before That, Or The Time Before That.

Cant believe they are accepting GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption in this offer, they are 4 and 5 years old I think, and I cant see anyone wanting to play IV ever again when V drops, I am away to leg it up the street before they change their mind!

Yup...traded my two games in the Henry street store this afternoon. And was talking to one of the lads in the Newbridge store over the weekend about it also

Yeah, GTA IV really kept it's value but I think it's just because of people wanting to play it getting ready for V (which I was one of). Eevn though i am enjoying it more this time than the last 2 playthroughs, I think it has more to do with how GTA V *should* be miles better.

Spent ages looking for a Banshee, got one and had a blast bombing around with brilliant control. Then started a mission and it made me use a different car. My Banshee was never seen again. Can't wait for garages in GTA V!!!

Where does it say that? Great offer if still going.

Rockstar have a new section about their collectors edition. Here is one part:

Custom Characters for Grand Theft Auto Online (Collector's Edition
only)

GTA Online introduces a new spin on traditional character creation with
the hereditary-based creation system. Select your character’s appearance by choosing your parent’s heritage, then use the gene dominance meter to dial-in which parent your appearance favors more. Additionally, you'll customize your character's daily activities - everything from family time to illegal work and sports to couch potato hours all have an impact on your character’s appearance and skill set (and you can always rank up your skill stats more via gameplay). As part of the Collector’s Edition package, you'll get Niko Bellic, along with both Claude and Misty from Grand Theft Auto III to use as parent options within the character creation system.

I hope they mean the CE gives you the 3 characters to use as 'Parents Heritage' and not that this syste mis only available to CE owners and everyone else just has to pick different heads and torsos like in GTA IV.

Who the f*ck wants to look like Niko :pac:

Edit: Looks like the 'Parent's Heritage' is the character creation system for all editions of the game. You have set character who you choose to be your 'parents' and then the system creates you based on that. Sounds very weird, mad to know more about it!

this game is sounding better and better the more I hear about it

should the extra content be available as dlc after a while?

bitch please · 26-08-2013 09:40PM

GTA4 and one other game isn't it?

What are gamestop selling V for? €60 isn't it?

Does that mean they value IV and RDR at €25 each? I asked when i was on the phone to them over the weekend, if they had any IVs for PS3 and they told me i could get it for €25 pre-owned or €27 new (silly in itself, really).

Why would they be bothered taking IV for €25 when they'll never shift it for anywhere near that kinda money? Seems a tad silly to me? And definitely counter-productive in running a business (where the general aim is to turn a profit?).
