GTA IV is amazing but SA is far better due to content. There is much more to do in San Andreas for fun than GTA IV offers. GTA IV is like the GTA III of new consoles, it is groundbreaking and amazing but until the next game comes out it will just feel somewhat empty compared to SA. GTA V will be much better, like SA is to GTA III.
haha right? took me a while to figure out in the new one aswell. @onelove, yea agree, GTAiv has a lot to do but not as much as SA, but i still love just cruising around doing random shit in gta 4, fun doesnt end for me just cuz the missions do. + the multiplayer in gta 4 isnt by any means great, but it is great compared to SA which has none lol
I just can't wait for the countryside/desert in GTA V Just think, IV's amazing city aspects mixed with RDR's open worldness... ahhhhh cant waaait Roaming around in the forest on dirtbikes loaded with fully automatics with 15 other people is going to be a. fucking. blast.
[quote name='"SeanyCash"']Gta iv was miles better than that San Andreas cartoon shit. People just hype San Andreas to the moon but it got boring real quick.Not to mention the shooting mechanic was an absolute joke. Like nowisb said the driving in gtaiv actually was spot on, people were just sad you couldn't make outlandish turns and jumps like you could In San Andreas. Gtaiv is my favorite gta game to date[/quote] Got boring real quick? I can still pop in San Andreas and put in the pedestrians have weapons and pedestrians riot cheats and have a boat load of fun. & the arcade driving style was fun, it's gta, I wanna be able to do fun crazy unrealistic stuff not drive a car how it handles in real life. [quote name='"NowIsB"'] Idk how u can not like gta 4, its the best and most improved iteration in the series[/quote] Most improved? That's hilarious. Go from GTA 2 to GTA 3 then from San Andreas to GTA 4 and see which one feels more improved over the other. GTA 3 changing gaming man. That's why it set off so many copy cat games.
Everything game mechanics wise about gta 4 is more better than in san andreas. and obviously, if you go from a top down game to a 3-d game its gonna be a dick load different it doesnt take a genius to tell you that lol
I have a feeling that the sweater might be CJ from San Andreas. A little bit older, a little bit wiser, but still repping the grove mr rogers style. Notice how CJ hates drugs in GTA:SA and the guy in the sweater turns down drugs with swag, it's CJ for sure.
I hope that it's a more L.A. Gang-oriented story as well.. I liked how SA we were apart of a gang and shit, was very cool
I really doubt it's going to be. For one, it's been done to death now.. First GTASA did it then Saints Row overdid it and it's just explored territory. You can tell by GTAIV, R* really matured their series and took it in a new direction. Being set in NY, most people expected it to be Mafia orientated but R* said its been done to death (in III and others) so they took a new direction and did the whole Russian immigrant thing. V's gonna be around money (you can tell by the logo on the trailer), mainly the collapse of the dollar and alot to do with the Fed Gov. I think R*'s trying to tell us our history and what's going on today with RDR and the introduction of the Federal Gov. and GTA V's going to be of the collapse of it. Or so I suspect
Well GTA IV did have quite a bit to do with mob families and such, just not til later in the game. I like your idea abot GTA V though, can definitely see that playing a role in the story.
i cant fucking wait for this game i cant believe how long its been since gta4, when the same shitty cod's pump out every year
Love the GTA series, I still remember playing the first one with the overhead view! I also bought my 360 because of GTA 4. I hope in this one money is worth something, pretty stupid collecting millions of dollars and hardly anything to spend it on.
Nobody posted this yet, but apparently this is some leaked information about GTA V from when reporters interviewed Rockstar. "1: The game world is absolutely massive and will push both xbox and PS3 to the very limit in terms of what it has accomplished. Yes, the main city is simply Los Santos however is it AT LEAST 4 times bigger than Liberty City in GTA 4 and that is just Los Santos. The surrounding country side, beaches, etc are massive. For instance, we saw the main character ( an African/American, early 30's) travel by car from the center of Los Santos into the wildnerness and it took over 15 minutes. The views were incredible from farmhouses with cattle, huge wind farms, an oil refinery which appeared to be living and breathing with nearly 100 NPCs working on machinery, operating vehicles, lifting and loaded, etc, unlike the gas works in GTA 4 which seemed to only house a few NPC at a time. The forests are more beautiful than those in RDR and featured people camping, young NPC drinking and dancing around campfires, people riding dirt bikes and jumping over logs, streams, etc. The water effects, forna, plants, trees all looked beautiful. 2: The shooting mechanics have been greatly improved with animations for diving, climbing, rolling and crawling all added for better realism. The re-loading animations for new ammo also look cooler, less static. 3: There is much more climbable elements in the world such as ladders, overhand climbing, etc. 4: There are animals in the game from dogs to cattle but at this time it is not confirmed if you will be able to harm the animals. Rockstar were able to get away with it in RDR as it was a true depiction of the world in which the game was set. Allowing dogs/cattle to die in a game sent in current times may cause headaches with PETA. Its unclear if Rockstar were joking here. 5: There are planes to pilot and they can be crashed into buildings if you choose to do so.... 6: Rockstar have included many, many more interior locations such as a shopping mall, college campus, police station, a huge hospital and there is also a vast underground sewer network which one mission later in the game involves a jet ski chase that culminates in a Fugitive-esque waterfall jump ( there are nods to the ridiculous but awesome Ballad Of Gay Tony missions) 7: The city is full of NPCs jogging, weight-lifting, hitting on women, being chased on foot by cops, shopping, washing cars, fixing fences, moving home, filling up their cars, etc. REAL JUICY INFO: 1: Cars can be upgraded/repaired and it has been considered to have a car have fuel forcing the player to fill her up. 2: The dating aspect of the game is gone. You still have a cell-phone but only people you will meet in the game will call you to ask you to do a mission or to ask you to do something else before the mission. 3: Weapons include the usual arsenal you'd aspect but the flamethrowers, remote mines, laxer trip mines and claymores are included. It is possible now to pick up random objects in a street/buidling to use as a weapon. There is also a museam where it is possible to steal old age swords, axes, etc. 4: it is possible to rupture a fuel line and if you shot at the trail of gasoline it will lead straight back to the car blowing it up. 5: mini games such as bowling, darts, etc have all gone. You can play basketball, weight train, arm wrestle, gamble and cage fight, enter triatholons, water races, cannoing, ab-saling, rock climbing, base jumping, ski diving. More to be confirmed. 6: Character customisation is back but only in terms of clothing, body weight, etc. The player you start off which, much like CJ, can't be altered by race, age, height, etc. 7: Rockstar said burglary missions may return but only as part of missions and not on neigbourhood houses. 8: No children NPC at all. Ever. 9: There is now an ability to grab people and use as sheilds or in "hostage" situations. 10: The cops are much, much, much more realistic. If you kill somebody when you know there are no cops around you will not run the risk of a one star as often as you would in GTA4. The cops will use smoke and tear gas, dogs, riot gear and rams to knock down the doors of buildings you are hiding in. 11: You can enter some buildings and lock doors, push objects in the way to barricade. 12: You become better at things as the game progresses. If you only ride motorbikes then you will increase your skills, same as individual weapons. 13: Certain weapons can be customisable and some even home-made. 14: One mission involves breaking out a very familiar GTA icon from a previous game... 15: Torrential rain fall and sunshine and even tremors will appear in the game." -http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=490646&st=1200
^ If all that is true, I can't wait to see the achievements for this game! And wow i JUST realized that there's never been children in GTA hahaha!!
I really don't get the point of not being allowed to put kids or dogs/animals in a game just because I would have even more fun killing them..
the controversy is the thing i don't understand. maybe for kids but who cares about animated animals? its a damn video game, they're just pixels on a screen. I killed dogs in call of duty, so why not put em in gta?
my biggest gripe about GTA is how the game basically revolves around getting money but the things you can actually do with your money is rather limited. id like to be able to do more than buy clothes, buy weapons and ammo and buy some fast food. please make money a huge part of the game.
