Maybe on Youtube but not soundcloud

Edit: Having listened to it a few times now, I'm really hoping it randomly pops on the radio in game after some cool story twist or mission

That trailer makes me love Michael. Few might remember me hating him about 8 months back. Franklin looks badass as well. Still though Trevor is a **** character and I've found a lot of people who won't be using him that much.

What ? Trevor looks to be one of the biggest GTA legends since The Truth, In fact I look forward to playing him the most. :pac:

EdenHazard · 30-08-2013 02:13AM

Awful.

gnfnrhead · 30-08-2013 02:23AM

From what I've seen, it's usually Trevor = Michael >>>>>>>>>>>>> Franklin. I've seen hardly anyone say they want to play as Franklin most. It's always Trevor or Michael.

Glico Man · 30-08-2013 02:25AM

Michael for me. Reminds me so much of a cross between Tony Soprano and Neil McCauley from Heat. Gonna love playing as him.

I'm honestly not trolling but honestly I think that is to do with racism and the age of the people you see. Younger people can relate to Franklin more(50 Cent type character) Trevor is just a loser who suits being a weird side character.

Paid off the rest of the deposit in GS yesterday.
Couldn't do the trade in deal as I currently own only 2 games: gta 4 and need for speed hot pursuit. (Says a lot about me...)

Come on the next 18 days!

I think I'll probably use Franklin the most, just because he's the youngest and therefore probably the fittest with the most stamina.

Sometimes in GTA I've found myself without a vehicle and having to run somewhere, so I'd prefer to be able to run faster and for a longer time, and with the stats coming in for each character and one of them being stamina, Franklin's will probably be the highest. I know you can obviously build up the stamina to the max for each character if you wanted, but maybe Franklin will have a higher max than the other 2. Also, since Michael is the expert marksman, maybe he'll have a higher max for aiming or whatever the stat is for gun use.

It's hard to know who we're going to like the best really until we play the game. There'll be plenty of character specific missions anyway to decide who your personal preference to play as is.

wnolan1992 · 30-08-2013 12:29PM

For me so far it's Franklin = Michael > Trevor.

Trevor just comes across as a caricature of a psycho in the trailers, not really what I'm into. I'll probably use him to go on random rampages every now and again, but I'd say most of my free-roam time will be spent with Franklin, at least at the start.

I'd agree with Hot Pursuit (awful game), but just 'cos you don't gots da skillz to drive in GTAIV doesn't make it bad! :pac:

I never had any problems driving in IV, but loads seem to hold it as a gripe about the game

You probably won't to hear this but i brought in GTA 4 and then bought Red dead redemption for 18 euro in CEX on liffey strret. Brought them both around to gamestop with a tenner and sorted.

The driving was bad, R* realised that and that's why they've changed it for GTA V

There was nothing wrong with it, nice weight to the physics and once you got used to it it was great fun tearing around the place. I hope they haven't totally changed it. Played SA recently and I don't think I could back to that style of handling.

ahnowbrowncow · 30-08-2013 02:21PM

I got these from the gameplay trailer, what do you think of the stats?

I think I prefer Michael's, great at shooting and stealth and decent stamina and driving.

They went overboard with the driving in 4 though, too heavy and not realistic. I don't want to go back to SA's driving either but I'm glad they've looked at the driving for 5

Nice find

I'm not sure if they're the starting stats though. Things like driving, shooting and flying increase as you use them. It's also odd that both Michael and Franklins specials are empty while trevor is nearly full.

Cienciano · 30-08-2013 02:36PM

Trevor looks like the best character to me. GTA is about having a laugh and not taking itself to serious. Almost all his lines in the game preview videos are funny. Michael second, followed by Franklin.

Derek! · 30-08-2013 02:48PM

I prefer Michael to as I'm the stealthy type :P

Royal Irish · 30-08-2013 02:55PM

Their specials are probably empty as they just used them in the video. Think Micheal's was shown when he was shooting in slow motion in the window of the Noose building.

I'm delighted that I went for the special edition now that we know your special ability regens 25% faster with the special and collectors edition. It will come in handy.

Riddle101 · 30-08-2013 03:25PM

Franklin doesn't really have great stats tbh. They're pretty low. Unless you can increase their stats in the game with upgrades or something. But he'd be the one I'd least like to play as. Michael would be my pick, the professional gangster. Reminds me of Robert De Niro's character from the movie Heat.

Rockstar themselves said it was like driving a boat. You can't get much more clear cut than that.

It wasn't fun, and based on my real life driving experience, it wasn't all that realistic either.

Icyseanfitz · 30-08-2013 05:49PM

i for one loved the driving in gta 4, it was a whole lot more realistic than previous ones, doing 360 spins was class

haha i played so much mp freeroam i became legendary at the driving.......i think im going to play some gta 4
