Hopefully, they tone down the realism this time.

ape0075925d ago

and more real world while making gameplay quicker and more polished

Cold 20005924d ago (Edited 5924d ago )

I hope they bring it to another continent this time.

A big South American city like Rio wouldnt be bad.

Saaking5924d ago (Edited 5924d ago )

Unless it's PS3 exclusive, I will not be buying it till it's like 40 bucks. It's UNDENIABLE that the 360 will only hold back the game and in the end GTAV will be only a slightly improved (visually) version of GTAIV. We'll never see huge, or multiple cities like we want to see unless it's PS3 exclusive.

I am, however, really excited about Rockstat North's PS3 exclusive AGENT. Now THAT game will be insane.

"Unless it's PS3 exclusive, I will not be buying it till it's like 40 bucks"

Wow talk about being snob. Some of the best games this gen were multiplats. Weird gaming habit you have there.

JhawkFootball065924d ago

I dont get why all you say tone down the realism? I want the game and physics to be spot and and true to life. I dont want the needing to sleep and eat though. If you want an arcadey gta game seriously go play saints row. All the people who are yelling make it unrealisic are going to end up ruining the game for everyone else

Saaking5924d ago (Edited 5924d ago )

@Cold

I know some of the greatest games this gen have been multiplat and I've gladly paid 60 dollars for most of them; however, this is a different situation.

GTAIV was held back. It actually took a step back from what GTA:SA delivered (although GTAIV's story is a lot better). That is just unacceptable. I know that the only way to make GTAV as huge as we want it is to make it exclusive to PS3 or PS3/PC.

If GTAV is also on the 360, I'll know it's been gimped and therefore I will not pay full price for it. I was disappointed with GTAIV and I don't want to be disappointed with GTAV.

Cold 20005924d ago (Edited 5924d ago )

For someone who has only heard a RUMOR about GTA5 you sure know a lot about the quality of the game.

Anyways GTA4 was the first GTA I managed to get into so I'm looking forward to GTA5.

heroicjanitor5924d ago

Surely someone could upload it, it's just a video which "has absolutely (as far as we can see) nothing to do with Grand Theft Auto" lol

Biggest5924d ago

He doesn't need a time machine to see that. GTAIV was broken up. Space was an issue for DVD. The game was small in comparison to the previous. If they are to make the game as large as they probably want it to be, and as large as fans expected IV to be, they have to pass on the 360. Not totally, mind you. Adding more disks works just fine. But to try making an equal version again would be slightly silly. If GTAV (or whatever GTA is next) expects to be a big deal, it needs to be a big deal. Not a kinda large deal with multiple, separate parts.

Hank Hill5924d ago (Edited 5924d ago )

Rockstar did say they had trouble squeezing GTA4 on a DVD so I don't know how the can improve GT5 on a DVD.

@Biggest

Multiple discs won't work with GTA5. You would have to switch discs every time you went to a different island.

Biggest5924d ago

I was joking either way, Hank. I am a lolDVD guy all the way. Just throwing an imaginary flotation device to those that love the 90's.

GiantEnemyCrab5924d ago (Edited 5924d ago )

^^^^ Yes, because no DVD game has ever gotten better! /sarc

Seriously, I hope you guys get some cool prizes for being the Blu-ray shill of the week from the BR Consortium.

ape0075924d ago (Edited 5924d ago )

I know you all got me wrong, I was meaning that, keep the physics, the immersion etc... and even make it more impressive while maintaining the same good ol gta balance

gta 4 is amazing but they should work more on the responsiveness of everything, sometimes it felt heavy\kinda lazy

Realism had its amazing effects and bad effects, get rid of all the negative impacts of realism and keep the great things

I hope you all understand me this time :)

and to all ps3 owners, don't forget the ballad of gay tony\lost and damned package

pretty damn superb package especially TbOgT, I know you may forget it, march is a cloudy month, gow3, bc2, yakuza 3 etc..

BUT it's damn fun

Red Panda5923d ago

I agree with saaking. If it is a multiplat I will pass. Its disappointing knowing that this game could have ten times more vehicles, weapons, and all around city to roam in. If xbox is getting it then yeah it will be less of a game then it could be. Just look at the recent news of xbox's lack of disc space. As a gamer this is depressing and if anyone can't understand that then you're either dumb or you don't care about games as much as you do a products image and reputation. How can you argue that the game wouldn't benefit from better technology? Think.............

ico925923d ago

i hope they go forward with the franchise not backwards like they did with GTA4 and try to refine GTA SA's elements

thesummerofgeorge5923d ago

and having no required install won't hinder the games progress. This is a massive game by nature, it has nowhere left to go with the amount of space a DVD offers.

I get that you want the game on the 360, but the system is seriously limited on space, honestly it's a fact. Whether you like the PS3 or not, it offers a lot more space and ergo, more options. Where do you nay sayers think they're going to find more space? They can't pull it out of thin air, and they certainly won't get away with cloning GTA4 plus a few minor improvements, and I'm sure they're smart enough to know that

bnaked5923d ago (Edited 5923d ago )

And again: I think the new GTA will be "Agent", "GTA5: Agent" yep

Hey,

Sorry, I realised the comments section on the gtaIVlife.com site was disabled. please now feel free to share your comments on the site, let us and others know what you think this could mean!

unchartedgoty5925d ago

i think its going to be a ps3 exclusive

Hellsvacancy5925d ago

Yeah, and Leeds United (who i support) will go back 2 the Premiership

Bnet3435925d ago

Why do you think it will be PS3 exclusive?

ViciousBoston5924d ago

Because Rockstar stated how they felt their creativity was being compromised by DVD9.

table5924d ago

and that's why we have agent. I reckon GTA5 will come on 2 DVD's for the 360, perhaps the story based in 2 cities to hide the obvious difficulties for an open world game using 2 discs.

karan86245924d ago

Never in a million years will the franchise itself go back to exclusivity. However, I do hope they make up some content deals for the PS3, or at least not cut its content to fit DVD

Dev8 ing5924d ago

GTA is one game that could get away with exclusivity. People would buy a PS3 for it if they only had a 360. GTA is like crack people will do whatever it takes to play it. Also by the time it comes out the PS3 will be $200-$250. So even the poor a$$ xbox fanboys will be able to afford one.

ProjectVulcan5924d ago (Edited 5924d ago )

Microsoft would fight hard to prevent exclusivity to PS3, but the fact was just after the game was announced for 360, rockstar had said that sony did not do the deal for exclusivity- it was on the table because of rockstars' past deals with GTA and the playstation brand. Sony simply didnt take it.

If sony have any sense they will do a deal for this one game, this is the game that would really re balance the console wars in their favour, and i too agree that bluray is the place to drop a new GTA when the previous one filled a 360 dvd, two whole years ago. Having a multiple disc version for 360 instantly isolates millions of owners without a hard drive to install to, and breaks microsofts promise that every game would work on every version of the system- they have tried desperately to hang onto that promise, even to the point ripping content from Forza 3 and claiming the second disc install is 'optional extra content'. Rather than just admit it should have been in the game for everyone but Dvd was not big enough lol.

Jumper095925d ago

its not an ps3 exklusive...

Bnet3435925d ago

Well no one knows that. We don't even know if the game will come out this generation or come out at all.

table5924d ago

I think we will see it this gen. Rockstar will want to make a greater return for the time/money put into the GTA4 engine.

Cajun Chicken5924d ago

There are roughly 3 GTA games a gen.

PSone era;
GTA1, GTA London, GTA2

PS2 era;
GTAIII, GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas

This gen;
GTAIV, GTA IV: Eps from LC...

What makes you think this'll be different?

gtamike1235923d ago

gta liberty city stories (PSP, PS2 only)
gta vice city stories (PSP, PS2 only)

eagle215923d ago

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio17d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing17d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9217d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit17d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing17d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9216d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
