General:
-Your ranking will be based off of shooting, driving, parachuting and flying skills.
-People can access their data through Social Club and via their iPhones or iPads.
-There is a mode called "passive mode" which means you can't shoot people and they can't shoot you.
-A "Bad Sport" stat will be given for bad behaviour such as blowing up another player's car, and if it's done persistently you will be punished.

Here's a list of info from all the previews:
-Players can invest in their character through customizing their appearance, improving their stats, owning customized vehicles, purchasing personal property, choosing their favourite weapons and vehicles and taking part in missions, jobs and activities.
-Players have the freedom to explore alone or with friends, work cooperatively to complete missions, band together to participate in activities and ambient events, or co...
I'm glad they are releasing this game in August because playing this after experiencing GTA V would be a complete joke.
I spotted Los Santos Elementary school in the woman's campaign video! That's weird with no children to be seen in the GTA universe.
According to the video, you can connect the controller to your console using any USB cable and it instantly becomes a wired controller. You would only need the Play & Charge Kit to charge it for wireless use.
I find this quote funny:
>"“My suspicion is that if you looked at another game coming out that didn’t have that technology, that their buildings would look so superior to ours, the gamers would still look at it and say, ‘Wow, what’s wrong with Saints Row, why does it look so horrible? I know the buildings come apart but you know.’"
Other open world games already look FAR superior to Saints Row, and it doesn't even have building destruction. J...
This must be pretty ambitious if they're calling it GTA Online instead of just GTA V multiplayer.
I love Pachter's air of superiority. I always get a kick out of watching this guy talk. He's so full of himself.
Xbox 360 and 3DS dominating the charts!
I loved the Forza Motorsport series this gen. Best racing series on any console. I wonder if it can maintain its place as the highest-rated racing franchise going into the next gen.
The controller looks incredibly slick. I can't wait to hold it in my hands.
My personal favorite is Grand Theft Auto IV, with Red Dead Redemption a close second. You can probably guess who my favorite developer of this generation is.
Never underestimate the competition.
You just fail to look at the bigger picture. The PlayStation fan base was 6 times the Xbox fan base coming into this gen. 7 years later, they are now relatively equal in size. Despite being more expensive and launching a year later, that big "PlayStation" stamp on the side of the box is all it takes to sell many a console. That is a powerful brand and Xbox is now very powerful as well, unlike it was back in 2005.
I would say it takes a fractured mindset to consider ...
The PS2 hit 120 million in its 7th year:

It went on to sell over 150 million units.
The big difference is that the Xbox brand is now just as popular as the PlayStation brand so it is a completely different fight. Going into this gen, Xbox was the complete underdog, and because of all Sony's mistakes and all of Microsoft's triumphs, Xbox went from being outsold 6 to 1 last gen to being tied with the once untouchable PlayStation brand. Anything can happen next gen. Sony will have an advantage at the start with the lower entry price, but who knows what Microsoft has in ...
Minecraft is a beast on 360!
@PSVita - The PS3 version also has a mandatory install of the same size. Both versions only use one disc to play the actual game.
As Rockstar have already stated, there is no lead platform. Both versions are being developed simultaneously. No ports:

Miscellaneous:
-You start GTA: Online arriving to Los Santos pennyless and you must complete a few missions first to get a feel of the online.
-There will be loads of property to buy at different prices, according to their views and location. You can use your in-house CCTV to spy on people at your front door, or take showers, surf the net, change clothes and watch the game's many TV channels.
-You can take out insurance and ring for a replacement car if yours gets ...
