Fleetwood Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 Who's looking forward to seeing Trailer #2 for GTA: V then!? I know I am! - Wednesday, 14th November is when it 'premieres', more details here: Grand Theft Auto V Trailer #2 Coming Next Week, Wed Nov 14 I'm still gutted I won't get to see Las Venturas with the graphics they've got in store for this, but I do miss Los Santos. The latest screenshots are clearly proving that the map will be HUGE, especially with the country roads/beaches still there.
FN-GM Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 San Andreas was a good game, its a shame they removed things planes in the later version of GTA. Vice city was a great game!

I'll be interested in the PC release, as the graphics will be hamstrung by the old console platforms at initial release.
FN-GM Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 I'll be interested in the PC release, as the graphics will be hamstrung by the old console platforms at initial release. What kind of controller would you use with the PC one please?
Fleetwood Posted November 9, 2012 Author Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) San Andreas was a good game, its a shame they removed things planes in the later version of GTA. Vice city was a great game! San Andreas was great, the big variety of planes/helicopters was lovely and the amount of customisation you could do (go to the Gym, make yourself fat, endless amounts of clothing, change your hairstyle etc.) and it seemed GTA IV took all of that away granted, GTA IV's vehicle base was even bigger and it's always nice to have a big selection to choose from but I like to play games like these that allow you to customise your character a lot. Vice City is and always will be my favourite GTA game. Biased because I've always been 80s-mad anyway but I generally liked the game, I'd love to see Vice City return some day. Vice City + San Andreas' customisation features and we'd be sorted! I'll be interested in the PC release, as the graphics will be hamstrung by the old console platforms at initial release. I'll be buying it for the PC anyway when it's released. Slightly irritating that PC releases always come out ages after the consoles, but then I've always been a PC gamer so that's just my own opinion. The graphics should look good, but I'm hoping they won't balls-up like they did with GTA IV. That was so badly optimised. Edited November 9, 2012 by Fleetwood
familiarrealms Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 just been reading on IGN. Apparently, you can switch between characters all the time as there is 3 protagonists. Not sure how i feel about this, GTA was always nice and easy to get a grips with. this might add a bit of unwanted complication.

Not sure how i feel about this, GTA was always nice and easy to get a grips with. this might add a bit of unwanted complication. Oh, they confirmed the multiple-protagonist rumour? I missed that one! Agreed, that's something I was always a bit 'unsure' of when I heard about it. It may prove to be more involving and fun than it sounds though. A bit like how GTA IV and EFLC 'tied in' with eachother? I'd still prefer to stick with one character, but if there aren't any customisation options available multiple protagonists might make a nice change from time to time. I'd prefer it if it switched protagonists by itself/as you progress, rather than you being able to just press a button and change. Could be a bit weird.. Or it might be an advance to GTA SA's 'Gang Recruit' feature it had, you can have 2 followers and switch between them? *shrug* Edited November 9, 2012 by Fleetwood
familiarrealms Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 It may prove to be more involving and fun than it sounds though. This is true. A bit of thought process behind criminality. The protagonists are supposedly going to perform heists so a more sophisticated way of controlling them and performing the objectives would fit right.
Arthur Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 What kind of controller would you use with the PC one please? I use an Xbox 360 controller for Windows PCs.
Rawns Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 I use an Xbox 360 controller for Windows PCs. Mouse and Keyboard FTW.
Rawns Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 Vice City is and always will be my favourite GTA game. Biased because I've always been 80s-mad anyway but I generally liked the game, I'd love to see Vice City return some day. Vice City + San Andreas' customisation features and we'd be sorted! It's being ported onto the iPad soon for it's 10 year anniversary! Before anyone goes "pfft, iPad! Boooo!" etc, GTA3 has already been ported across and I recommend it for anyone who has an iPad. They did a cracking job too. The controls are slick and it plays just as well as it did 10 years ago too! All the radio stations are there too! Used to love listening to Laslow on Chatterbox FM! I bought the GTA radio set once and played Chatterbox FM in my car with the window down during the summer months! I was cool back then...
localzuk Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 What kind of controller would you use with the PC one please? Keyboard and mouse, like every other game I've ever played on PC!
DMcGuigan Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) Keyboard and mouse for PC all the way! There's some screenshots from Games Informer here: Xbox360A Some of the comments are saying these are PS3 screenshots, but this site has been known to post PC screenshots. They use what they can find! EDIT: Oh, there's these details too, also from game informer: Xbox360A 2 Edited November 9, 2012 by DMcGuigan 1
Fleetwood Posted November 9, 2012 Author Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) Using a console controller for a PC game has always baffled me. I fail to see the point unless you've got some emulating going on. Some people find it easier to fly planes and stuff using a controller/gamepad, but I'd rather stick with me trusty keyboard + mouse all the way! @DMcGuigan - those screenshots look amazing! Thanks for sharing the link with us. Pleased to see how the 'outskirts' look interesting to see the Dam there though, I remember that being between San Fierro & Las Venturas.

The only time i use my Xbox 360 controller on PC is for football games. Playing FIFA with a keyboard is not fun! EDIT: Also use it for racing games like GRID. Edited November 9, 2012 by Rawns
Fleetwood Posted November 9, 2012 Author Posted November 9, 2012 It's being ported onto the iPad soon for it's 10 year anniversary! You've finally given me a reason to support iPads being in schools.. thank you. For educational purposes, of course.. "Kids, this is how you should NOT behave in society!... now let's kill some Italian barstewards." or "Of course we can deploy these iPads, Headteacher. We just need to do some extensive testing first. Graphics performance and all that.." Unfortunately I can't afford to buy myself an iPad, so that'll have to wait is the performance any good on the game, do you get many issues? And yeah, I can see how some games like FIFA and GRID will need a controller for some. I've just become so accustomed to using the keyboard+mouse for everything I haven't bothered trying. It'd be hilarious to see somebody try and use a keyboard+mouse on an Xbox 360, though. ULTIMATE MINDTWIST!
Rawns Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 is the performance any good on the game, do you get many issues? None with GTA3. Rockstar are usually take great care with their GTA games and they have done the biz with that port. Most concerns with porting a game like GTA to a touch screen device like an iPad is how the controls work. However they seem to have refined them down to be smooth and free flowing. I'm therefore confidant that the Vice City port will be just as impressive. I think GTA and GTA2 would be great ported onto the iPad too. Hope they consider doing it in the future.

That sounds good then. I just watched a quick video demonstrating it and the controls don't seem as bad as I thought they would be, previous games I've tried ported to a touch-screen device have poor controls! Driving certainly doesn't seem that difficult, though it'd still be something I'd slowly pick-up. I expect they'll just follow the same path with porting it as they did with GTA 3, there wasn't that much difference. The big one would be if they decided to do GTA SA, I expect. I can see GTA 1 & 2 following it as well. I'd LOVE to see GTA: London 1969 again, on any device.. I used to love playing that on the PS1 then you can have your iPad background with Rodney Morash's artwork. "Don't mess sunshine, or I'll kick yer bl00dy head in. Understood, ponce?"

Rawns Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 The big one would be if they decided to do GTA SA. Maybe when Apple iPads are on the 9th or 10th generation and more powerful than todays computers!
Fleetwood Posted November 9, 2012 Author Posted November 9, 2012 Maybe when Apple iPads are on the 9th or 10th generation and more powerful than todays computers! Haha, very true GTA IV won't have a chance then it barely runs smoothly on top-end computers today!
Bill_Tech_Leigh Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 Cannot wait. I have the countdown on a tab already waiting roll on 4pm
Fleetwood Posted November 14, 2012 Author Posted November 14, 2012 Likewise! I finish at 4 but home commuting can wait, this trailer is more important to see
Bill_Tech_Leigh Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 Likewise! I finish at 4 but home commuting can wait, this trailer is more important to see All i can say is that looks bloody awesome. Watched it dead on the 4pm countdown. Excited MUCH!!!!
Poults Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 Yeah i agree, i cant wait! Had in my head it was coming out at the end of this month for some reason then found out it was early spring. I felt like a disappointed little kid on his birthday lol.
Bill_Tech_Leigh Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 I was told by Game it was coming out either October or November and when my little brother said its Spring 2013 i was like "WHAT?!!". and ive already pre-ordered it
