[Closed] GTA5 - Holy cow!

think I'm going to have to take some time off work and send the nipper away for a bit when this is released.

Available in Fall 2178

Or 17th September 2013...

Looking at that I thought it was going to be on the new consoles, but i'm wrong. Impressive indeed. 8)

Bloody hell that looks amazing!

I'll get my coat - I was thinking Grand Turismo (GT), not GTA

yeah it does look good 🙂

and just in time for my birthday 🙂 Would have thought they'd be releasing it for PS4 tho.

Looks immense. Haven't bought a game for a while; that will change in September!

Bawsaq stock market 🙂

Big forks with daft mudguards at 2.20, though.

What'll happen with us is I'll get it and start playing it in my free time, which is usually Friday night so I'll get to maybe the 3rd mission.

A week later my son will inform me he's finished it.

^ 😆

Luckily my son's too young for that to be my reality yet. Only a matter of time, no doubt.

I might buy a console just for this. I hear you can get a s/h PS3 for pretty cheap these days.

SH*TE AND I SOLD MY PS3...

Is there going to be a version for the new XBOX/PS3??

Won't be long before we're all "existing" in a virtual world.

That looks very good indeed, especially if what is said is true and all of that footage is from the PS3 version. Might have to take my PS3 off DVD duties and start gaming with it again, and treat myself to a new HDTV.

Looks great. The story line is so much better!
I got really bored of the last few- one character just killing everything. This looks awesome. I always end up 'exploring' and messing about half the time so I like the fact it has all the other stuff. Plus, ONLINE!!

I'm torn. It looks ace, but I've bought consoles on the back of GTA games before and the cold hard truth is that the last really exceptional GTA game was Vice City.

That said, Red Dead Redemption is arguably the finest game on the Xbox, and you can see some of its legacy in GTAV (the weapons select wheel is straight out of Grand Theft Horsey for a start).

The multiplayer option might just have sold it to me though.

ahh... the long wait for the PC version begins...

80gb Fat PS3 £40 + postage if you want it grum

ahh bloody hell, I've only just started playing GTA4. Got Bioshock1, Mass Effect1 to get through too. It's still 2007 chez Kev! I imagine GTA5 will be £10 2nd hand in about 2019 then?

as a PSA also, if you've got gold, get Trials Extreme from the xbox shop. A tenner I think. It's is arguably the best value game you will ever buy for the XBOX. Really, really well put together and so much fun.

PSN have a trials evolution copy out now too. Anyone know how it compares?

I have an xbox in the house too but can't stand using the child's controllers.

See, I didn't even finish that, I thought it was just the same as GTAIII but with more Miami Vice. Bored.

San Andreas was awesome, due to the large world. GTAIV I also loved, because of the gritty cinematic storyline. I cared about and empathised the characters for the first time. I felt sick for executing that Russian guy but I had to do it, and I had a moral choice to make that felt really profound.

I had to replace my PS3 because the old one died, and it's the main source of diversion in our house. It game with The Last Of Us which I think is going to take some playing...

LOL Unclehomered! that is so true. I am battling the stalkers at the end of Half Life 2 Episode 2 atm! Yet to play Portal 😀

Blimey that looks massive - not a game, more of a lifestyle choice!

I'm going to start saving now for a new GPU! Looks amazing!

The Saint's Row series is the spiritual successor to GTA in my opinion - just all out, over the top crazy fun and way, way better than the recent "serious" GTA games.

Saints Row was one series of games I simply couldn't get into, much preferred the GTA ones.

Its an argument me and a mate have all the time, he can't stand GTA but absolutely loves Saints Row and I'm the exact opposite.

Having said that I really am struggling with the The Lost and The Damned, played it for a couple of hours but finding it rather "meh".

Exactly, GTA is great technically but the more recent games are just [i]boring[/i]. Give Saints Row 3 a try, seriously. It's the ultimate evolution of GTA. Really captures the spirit of the original through to Vice City but just maxes out the fun/crazyness.

SR3 is free on PS+ this month.

I didn't mind GTA 4, but never actually finished it. I bought it a few weeks ago on the 360 with a view to actually completing it this time but I've been too wrapped up in other games to actually start playing it!

I'll have a look at Saints Row 3. Looks like the 4th one is coming to the next gen consoles.

Holy crap this looks superb, with the online play I wonder if we could even set up a virtual STW bike race?

That does look amazing... And the PC version, when it comes out in 2019, should look even better. Just hope they've given it good shooting this time!

PS, check out the detail on the bike 🙂 Even modelled in a wee seatpost gusset. Though it does seem to have track ends.

Northwind, I know one of the programmers and he owes me a favour, what drop-outs would you like it to have?

Pretty sure it actually is a Chameleon. That's [i]ridiculous [/i]attention to detail...

The bad news is, that means the game's already obsolete due to it having 26 inch wheels. If you get him to give it swapout thingmies, then [i]maybe[/i] we can save it though it'll probably have quite a high BB which I know the PS3 struggles with.

Is it still a Rockstar North thing?

Yeah

There are 20s in it again.. All is good! 😉

Anyone pre-ordered? Decent price suggestions? Amazon have a lowest price thing, where you pay the lowest price between now and launch if you pre-order, but may still not end up being cheapest. I guess these days there's little scope to get a particularly good price.

Yep, I pre-ordered it on Amazon. £40 which is the first time ever I've paid full price for a game but I'm OK with that this time.

I get it on the 17th too. I can feel a bit of a nasty cough coming on that day. I'll need to get a 2 litre bottle of Aldi blue pop and a family bag of cheesy doritos to get me through the illness.

Anyone pre-ordered?

Yup.

So long ago, I had actually forgotten about it, till the trailer was released.

GT6 demo is on PSN for download...

I'm actually pretty excited about this, that looks brilliant.

Vice City was good, San Andreas was fantastic, IV was a disappointment frankly.

There was a lot about IV that was incredible, but a lot that was bloody annoying. Never got the 100%, mainly because I'm not sociable enough to make friends and do activities with them!

I never give a crap about the 100%, just want to do the storyline. And GTAIV had a good one.

The bloody phonecalls from needy friends in GTAIV got old quick. Driving was rubbish too (although crashing into walls and flying through the windscreen was fun).

San Andreas is the best game ever IMO!

The driving in IV was ace! If you ste an old banger it was dead slow and handled like a barge.
If you got an American muscle car it was terrible round corners.
Nick an M3 and you had a great time.

Multiplayer is great fun on GTAIV

I never played multiplayer.

The pedestrian skeet was hilarious.

@Unclehomered

That me me LOL, just replayed HL2 and picked up ep1 and 2 during the steam sale.

Had GT4 on the 360 and hated it, had it on the PC and loved it. Will wait for this to come out on PC too.

*don't believe this is PS3 footage TBH.

Can't be bothered to check this, but I'm sure I noticed at one point in the demo video there was a tutorial bit in the corner, saying which buttons to press. That would reveal which system it was at least purporting to be from, wouldn't it?

Someone check!

Update.

GTA 5 Online Info:

*whisper*
The last GTA I played was aerial view.
*/whisper*

So is there going to be an STW crew when this comes out? Am I going to have to buy it at launch to join in?

Round of golf jimmers? 🙂

Back in Vice City days, my "most hated" gang was golfers.

Round of golf jimmers?

It's the only reason I have it on preorder.

so, i've given the whole console thing a body swerve over the past few years, but looking to get back in, particularly in light of this.
any suggestions for the best buy on a ps3? it'll get used for movies and playing stuff like GTA, GT, and wipeout, so i imagine i won't need a massive HD? ( and could probably manage the upgrade myself if i did decide i wanted it later ).
i'll also need a tv to replace the leviathan of a crt i have right now, but probably wouldn't want to go much bigger than a 32" really.
i am not mega flush, and a little unwilling to spend more than 4/500 quid.
anyone offer a newbee some advice?
thanks! 😀

Buy a second hand PS3 now, and save the cash for when the PS4 comes out.

Edit: Whoops. Just saw your budget is for a telly as well. Hmm. Still get a second hand PS3 for £80-£100, a TV for [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-UE32F5000-32-inch-Widescreen-Freeview/dp/B00BP58C1S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1376593431&sr=8-1&keywords=samsung+32 ]£250-ish[/url], and save the rest towards the PS4.

thanks Jamie. that TV looks cracking for the money.
looks like i can pick up a PS3 for just over a ton brand new it seems. any reason to go SH?

Probably not. I only suggested second hand to save a few quid, but if there is not much difference between the two, remembering to compare like for like, then go for new.

i'll also need a tv to replace the leviathan of a crt i have right now, but probably wouldn't want to go much bigger than a 32" really.

I can probably sell you a telly that fits that bill.

I just had to replace my PS3. Best deal was a new super slim 500gb with The Last of Us from Game for £200. I didn't want s/h as some are really noisy, you don't know which ones.

Oh, I can sell you my old one for buttons. The drive doesn't work but you can download any game, it'll still work.
