What other developer would have had the balls to invest over $60 million in an open-world western game that was a sequel to a largely forgotten & critically panned PS2 game, and manage to turn it into one of the games of a generation.

No one, that who.

Rockstar are geniuses. Fact.

Yeah May would give Rockstar adequate enough time to prepare for GTA5's launch after Max Paynes March release.

And considering that both RDR & L.A Noire received Mid-Late May releases, then this is looking very likely. Regardless of whether or not this Real Estate sign is an intentional hint.

Just look at what Rockstar did with RDR & especially Undead Nightmare, and you know that Rockstar still have got what it takes to make a great open world game.

GTA5 will be an amalgamation of GTA4's gameplay & storytelling mixed together with GTA San Andreas's all round zaniness & free roaming abilities.

Throw in animals, planes & Bigfoot, and we are gonna have one hell of a game!

GTA4 has now sold just over 22 million copies.

Even if GTA5 sells half of that it will be at the 11 million units sold mark, which is colossal in its own right.

And mark my words GTA5 will sell more than 11 million in its lifetime.

Skyrim has been leaked on the internet for the 360 for the last 2 days.

More than likely this chump that posted the screenshots pirated the game.

I guess I over-hyped this trailer too much before it's release, that I'm left kinda disappointed after watching it.....

I'm glad it's back in Los Santos, heres hoping that we'll see Los Venturas in-game as well!

Another reason for early 3DS adopters to be pissed at Nintendo....

Intentionally withholding software from people who paid top dollar at launch & then just rereleasing N64 games to fill in the gap in the meantime is no way to treat their fanbase.

I was 8 years old playing my uncles Ps1 & nearly crapped my tiny pants playing Resident Evil when that first zombie dog jumped through the window!

Killzone 3's full campaign was also playable with splitscreen & online co-op support, which meant that you could enjoy it by yourself or join in with your mates.

Don't forget about Bioshock Infinite.

Well wasn't Arkham Asylum not partially open world?

It was just a natural progression I guess.

The critic is criticizing the critics of his own criticism.

Oh the irony!

I respect the reviewers opinion,
but after reading the review, I felt that he was overly harsh on some aspects of the game.

I felt he was only comparing the game against Uncharted 2, instead of comparing against other games in the same genre.

And from what I have both saw & read, Naughty Dog seem to have taken any of the (few) criticisms levelled against Uncharted 2 & they have polished & improved any of those defects.

Spot on.

The N64 sold less than 35 million units while the Gamecube sold a mere 21 million, Nintendo were on the verge of pulling out of the home console market and they took one last gamble with the Wii and lo and behold they managed to strike a gold with the casual market.

These consumers did not care about Nintendo's previous iterations or game franchises, because the Wii was underpowered yet innovative, & it became fashionable & trendy overni...

Just rent for it a night & if you like it, then buy it second hand.

If your a PC gamer, then pirate it, play the first hour or so, and again if you like it, then buy it.

Resistance 3 was an excellent game that sold poorly but massively improved upon the 2 previous games (both of which sold far better).

Sometimes a dev can just get unlucky with timing & publishers marketing ect.

GTA's are already heavily influenced by the TV shows & films from the cities & era's in which they were based.

GTA3 by The Sopranos & Goodfellas,
GTA Vice City by Miami Vice & Scarface,
GTA SA by Boyz in the Hood,
GTA 4 by The Wire & Eastern Promises.

And those are only the tip of the ice-berg, there is multiple other cultural inspirations in each GTA game.

It would be pretty ridiculous to m...

Imagine after a year or so, after the mod community push the graphical barrier into the stratosphere. what this will look like.

Just look how much the original Crysis's graphics have been improved since it's initial release.

In the first few screenshots the 360 version looks to have slightly better textures, while in the final few screenshots, it appears that the PS3 has a superior lighting system.

Either way if you want the best of both, then buy the PC version. If not then pick the platform that most of your mates play on & actually enjoy the game.
