Looks good considering it is on PS3/XBOX 360 architecture. I wonder if an enhanced version will be released with the new consoles?
No talk of it on new generation and even if they did it would be based on the PS3 architecture as that's what it's been built on. So unless they start from scratch it won't be massively different.
I usually wait to play these games but if I do I'll miss most of the multiplayer action I think.
Pre ordered it, luckily got a couple of weeks single player before the multiplayer is released, now to set up a crew!
Hopefully they'll release it on the PC before too long. Any hopefully it'll be a better port than the terrible effort they made with GTA IV...
I have just requested an invite, Drac.
I really have no idea what I'm doing 😀

Just buy a second hand xbox/ps3 to play it? I am planning on doing that with a PS3, just so I can play The Last Of Us.
Multiplayer isn't out until October Molgrips so you should be Ok.
I'll add you as some muscle Jamie the more in the crew the better it seems to be.
Oooh £99 for a secondhand slim one tempted to get one myself as I have the original fatboy.

If anyone wants a PS3 that doesn't play discs, let me know. Games can be downloaded.
Very excited by this, but will be waiting for the PC version... 🙁
I have a YLOD fat PS3 that someone can have - have already replaced it with a slim and don't seem to be much likelihood of getting it traded in. Can hand over in London.
I'll take it, I'll probably be in London at some point not too far away.
I dont understand, can you buy the game now?
The games is out on the 17th September.
Drac I asked for an invite to your crew. I know it's rude to ask, but.. there was a button.. 🙂
I seen it and it should have added you to the Muscle too.
I'll need to check with the others guys who I've played online with years but as muscle really all you can do is add to crew stats so should be fine.
Ta 🙂 I'm unlikely to play much anyway so if there's an option to just dabble that works for me.
molgrips, done. I'm north but work central, let me know by email when you can collect and you can have it. i think it may need a hard drive too, but you can get one suitable off ebay for about a tenner.
Ok ta. I dunno if I can bodge together somethign working from the ton of parts I seem to have, but I've read a lot about YLOD and potential fixes.

Just out of interest, can you plug a BD player in to the usb port and load games like that?
YLOD is caused by overheating fiddly job to fix but supposed to be easy enough a mate did his in afternoon.
Blue-Ray are replaceable just need the right model you can get them off ebay.
I wish there was somewhere that lent out PS3s for a week. I only need one for that amount of time to play The Last Of Us.
Seems a bit overkill to buy one, just to have to piss about selling it after.
Jamie- [url= http://www.boomerangrentals.co.uk/rent-games_PS3.php ][/url] not sure if they have last of us. Worth trying though.
You miss my point, I want to rent an actual console, not the game. I can buy the game from Amazon then sell it on eBay for a fiver less, so that's the easy bit.
There's always the Argos 16 day money back guarantee 😉
I have hired consoles and games from Blockbuster in the past.
I dunno.. doubt it but you never know 🙂
Not played computer games for years, but I quite fancy getting hold of a cheap 2nd hand PS3 and GTA V, if just for the walk-around-and-explore aspect of it. I always like that about the original overhead-view GTA games; that you could either play properly and try to progress through the game, or just pick it up and mess about for a while.
As I'm skint/tight I might even look for a PS2 and get GTA 3 or SA.
I may still have my PS2 somewhere.
Mike, you can have my ps3 for £40 if you just want to play games....

I fixed mine, worked for a couple of hours, then YLOD'd again. Repeated 3 times, gave up, threw away and bought a slim line one. Nothing like the quality of the old one. No PS2 compatibility either 🙁
I'm very excited by GTA V I must admit, in a way I've not been for a game for a long time.
I did read the guides to repairing the YLOD, but there's no way I'll get round to doing it - no free time these days. It's just gathering dust at the mo...

Cheers, but blue ray would be a reason for getting one.

More in game goodness revealed.
Listen, I lost an actual girlfriend because of videogames.
A real one.
Some junkie stole my XBox and I am happy with this.
Edit * Dear current girlfriend, Can I please buy a new XBox?*
I'm not surprised that you did only Playstation owners get the ladies.
And if other folks in your crew are out causing trouble, you can turn on Weasel News on your apartment TV and actually follow their shenanigans live, as covered by the San Andreas news channel.
😯
On a related note, you’re able to insure your cars in case other players steal them. You wouldn’t want to lose that heavily modified, custom Cheetah you spent thousands of in-game dollars and lots of time tricking out, would you?
Stealing people's rides and their money too with implications for them sounds cool.
If something bad happens and you’re killed, your wallet will just be lying there, on your corpse, ripe for anyone to come along and pluck it out of the pool of your blood. You’ll need to stop at one of the many ATMs scattered around the city in order to deposit – and thus secure – your earnings. Fortunately, places like Ammu-Nation and real-estate brokers accept debit cards, so you won’t need to extract massive stacks of cash from the ATM in order to make big purchases.
Not long now- who from the STW massive will be playing on the Xbox?
PS3 for me I gave my 360 away.
This might be the game that finally gets me playing online, what's the cheapest place to pre-order at the moment? I have a £10 Tesco voucher, I guess nothing will be cheaper than using that?
I hope they don't **** up the pc version.
I can see GTA V becoming my new antidote to work.
Wasn't going to get this but some features sound great, love the money aspects.
Any codes or cheap places to purchase PS3?
Perfect timing for a long hard winter 😀
Not long now- who from the STW massive will be playing on the Xbox?
Me, for starters.
BTW (cos I can't readily google it at work) - can you be a part of more than one crew?
I shall be picking up a copy...thankfully, on the XBox.
BTW (cos I can't readily google it at work) - can you be a part of more than one crew?
Not sure I think so.
Most of the pre-order deals are gone now.
Seemingly not.
Bumflakes.
Drac...request sent.
Cant wait for this. Many late nights are afoot.
Response sent ta.
Possible dumb question as I haven't played anything online in ages. I assume that the online version is console dependent ie. if you're playing online on an Xbox then you're [b][i]only[/i][/b] playing online with other XBox users, not anybody playing from any console?
Correct- I don't believe there are many cross platform games out there...
Request sent. Look out for TimmyJay.
Replied.
Anyone for a bike race come October? The trailers so far have shown BMXes and road bikes, but I bet there'll be mountain bikes in there too.
Think I spotted a mountain bike in the gameplay trailer earlier this year
2:16 in.
For the xbox live types feel free to add "tootallpaul67" to your friend lists...
Good spot on the bikes in that vid. I loved the bikes in San Andreas and was disappointed by their absence in the last instalment. I'd hoped for courier challenges and races through crowded Liberty City streets.
A multiplayer race down that mountain in San Andreas would have been good. 😀
...trying to pick up my jaw and tongue off the floor. Cannot wait...but really hope theres more stunts to attempt compared to the last one and some humour like the scotland fans in argie tops.
Role on the 17th!!

They've only gone and called the road bike the Whippet!
http://www.rockstargames.com/V/lsbc/fitness-and-relaxation
Just wondering if anyone's excited about the bike racing there'll be in there? Any way I might wait a couple of months before buying for my console, to let the price die down. Last thing is that by looks of it the multilayer will be very good so I wouldn't worry about missing all the action if you don't buy early.

I like this game already 🙂
Competitive Cycling
On the west coast, you’re not only judged by your car, but also by your expensive exercise gear. A bicycle that costs $10,000? Why not? Delude yourself in tight shorts and tap shoes while yelling at pedestrians for getting in your way.
if only it had Strava.....
Bikes in a game that looks as awesome as this, that's what get's you excited?
This is the first game I can remember pre-ordering, I've just realised the release date is a Tuesday, I can see myself being pretty tired at work for the remainder of the week.
😆If only it had strava

Just wondering does anyone know how cycling will be implemented?

Nice find Jamie I have GTA IV for PS3 and 360 that would qualify me.

Good luck with that it's one of the most anticipated games in a very long time, GTA IV took ages for the price top drop even near the pre-order offers.

You might want to double check that T&C (5) doesn't refer to multiple platforms:
(5.) must not be multiples of the same game.
Ah not to worry as I pre-ordered anyway.
Anyone used Gamestop for pre order?
Used them in the past and they've been spot on.
BAH! i won't be able to buy the game for some time (due to being skint).i won't be envious of you all in the slightest,oh no,not me sir.NOT AT ALL! 😆 😡 😮 😛 😳 PARP! 😳
