Red Dead Redemption/GTA V

[El Dildo]

lol wow people are really grasping at straws here while they wait for new info on GTA5.

 

this topic is stupid.

"dur, will the desert in V be like the desert in Red Dead?"

 

let's see how many pages people can go essentially talking about nothing.

[Slamman]

I beg to differ, sir. Have you played RDR? A Rockstar Game?

There is something to be said about the sharing of ideas within the company, they don't let much slip out, we know!

[El Dildo]

but I don't get it.

 

I mean, what are we discussing?

if the desert/countryside area in GTA 5 will be similar in design or look or style to the desert/countryside area in Red Dead??

 

if so, I still don't get it.

why does it matter? what's to discuss?

 

is there some kind of concern?

do you not want the GTA 5 countryside to look or feel like the Red Dead countryside?

I just do not understand what the point of the OP was.

[Slamman]

In a way, since RDR feels like a time travel GTA game, to me it does it all in a good way, a great way! Not selling GTA short, but we have pined for different time periods over the course of the franchise

[Stremel]

Of course V's countryside won't be so big as RDR was, but it will have some kind of inspiration from RDR.

They will improve the grass physics, they will improve the trees, that kind of thing. GTA is about the urbanized city itself, not the desert or the forest.

[Jeeebuuus]

Not sure why El Diablo is concerned about this. It is a better topic than most in the V area. I think V's country side will look better than RDR which was already amazing. Yeah.

[D T]

 

People might disagree but one of the main fails and reasons to why IV was crap compared to SA was because you where only in a city and their was no countryside or desert.

 

Ruined the game.

Ruined the game? You mean the highest rated game the year it came out in 2008? Ruined? By no desert? No forest? Come on.

Exactly what I was thinking. His GTA experience must be limited to San Andreas and IV as I thought GTA III and Vice City were absolutely first class when they were released, f*ck, even GTA 1 + 2 gave me hours of fun, and they all never featured any countryside/desert.

 

It really does piss me off when you get these GTA noobs saying how sh*t IV was, simply because it was only city. They just didn't/don't appreciate the amazing ground-breaking graphics and physics that IV introduced to the gaming industry/world.

dude gta4 failed cuz it was pretty much basically just like a boring realism real life simulator.

 

SA was so fun cuz it had stuff like hunger, exercising, flight school, driving school, learning how to fight, doing things more to get better at them (swimming and shooting),and zeros super frustrating toy airplane missions.

fixed it for you

the missions are easy with kb/m

[Slamman]

I don't see it that way, I think if you have everything laid out and assigned on a controller, it's actually easier. But you should have some way to map out buttons a bit more effectively, a keyboard's sole intent is typing, not game playing. It just happens to work if laid out in a memorable pattern (W-A-S-D keys for example) ARROW keys <- , -> \/ , ^

play red dead redemption as long as u can !

I still don't get it.

 

like I literally don't understand what the OP was trying to get us to discuss.

the premise doesn't make sense to me.

 

lol I apologize.

maybe someone could try and explain it again.

[Slamman]

Will there be more of a marriage of game elements, to me I see GTA and RDR as the same Open World formula, they won't be the same or RDR would be GTA, but it fills the bill for giving the time travel element the ROCKSTAR magic

Real life simulator? That's The Sims, not GTA. Just because GTA IV has better graphics and physics doesn't mean it's realistic. Just a tad more serious.

 

Also, hunger is unrealistic? Exercising is unrealistic? Schools are unrealistic? You're making a mistake here. If we were to follow your logic, it would mean that GTA IV is even MORE UNREALISTIC than San Andreas.

 

Everybody loved that game because it was way over the top and it had a stupid gangsta story and one-dimensional characters. Which meant any idiot could understand it.

 

You know what I actually think? You IV haters only hate it because your computer sucks and you can't play it properly.

[The Scottish Guy]

Ok, sorry for the bump, but it was either that or creating a new topic.

 

I was playing RDR again today and seeing as a flood of new members have joined since I made this topic, I wanted to get some of their views.

 

Everytime I play this game I can't help having that feeling of regret that I didn't wait for V to give me the first experience of a brand new RAGE countryside.

 

Although the map will obviously be different, it won't feel completely new.

[Ferocious Banger]

Well, as I mentioned, RDR is my most favorite Rockstar game yet, and in a manner of evolution, it's pointing to many excellent games to come, but it's Rockstar San Diego, not North, or the other branches, so expect GTA to really look similar in style to past GTAs, graphics play a major part in how a game looks in it's entirety, including animations, so don't be quick to dismiss graphics of gaming!

It was co-developed by R*North. They made at least a 40% contribution.

[brwhizz]

 

I think that the countryside will be good in GTA V and will probably provide you with a lot of scenery, but at the same time, I don't expect it to be anywhere near as detailed as the countryside in RDR. Does that really matter though? No, I don't think so, because the emphasis of the game won't really be on the countryside. You may be given or two missions that involve it, as well as some other features and side missions that involve it, but a lot of what will happen in the game will take place within the city.

 

I do hope that the countryside is quite good though, even if it's not as good as it is in RDR. It would be disappointing if we had a large area of countryside, but it was left untouched and didn't actually give us anything to do while we were in it.

You really think that Rockstar would create hills, wind turbines, waterfalls and deserts for one or two missions, and that the countryside wouldn't be as detailed (whatever you mean by that) than RDR? Have you seen the screenshots and trailer? Rockstar have clearly sweated blood and tears to capture the atmosphere of the Southern California wilderness, and it looks every bit as 'detailed' and involving as RDR. It's not as if some Rockstar employee said: "Geoff, spend a good amount of time on the city, but as for the countryside, just build a few hills and chuck in a few trees and we're done. Got sick of building countryside with RDR."

Edit: Sorry for bump, but it was either that or creating another thread.

 

Ok, so here's the thing - and I'll try my best to explain my problem as best I can. Ever since I first played GTA IV back in '08, I've always wondered how amazing a revamped San Andreas would look with IVs graphics. And then the GTA V trailer was released. My first reaction was, "Holy f*ck, my prayers have been answered" (I realise it's not officially San Andreas yet, but it's obviously Los Santos and countryside)

 

Now, I recently purchased RDR after seeing all the positive references it was getting in this forum, and so far I've been more than impressed with this outstanding game.

 

My problem here is, I'm thinking to myself...'is this what the desert and countryside will be like in V?' - which would be f*cking awsome as the graphics and scenery in RDR are absolutely beautiful', and I'm then thinking...'this might be spoiling the release of V for me as it won't feel totally new in regards to countryside/desert, should I just put RDR back in its box and play after I've experienced the god that is V?'.

 

Obviously it will be a totally different map in V, but I'm just talking about experiencing a new RAGE countryside/desert.

 

Or do you think there will be any improvement in V from RDR?, and if so explain.

when i saw the vinewood tennis house villa thing in the screenshot I thought 'whoa, it looks like the RDR mexican buildings!' So I felt a bit pulled down when i saw that. but then i was like 'wait, imagine driving a beach buggy across the RDR desert...' and i was then like and i got all excited again! if it looks the same, that will be the best! there will be improvements though, as rockstar said 'We haven't given you much info as it will take a while to complete the game because each game we make is made to surpass the last, in graphics and in gameplay.'* so either way, its all good! *(they said this in their q+a)

you're wrong every game they make surpasses the last in graphics and in gameplay.

The thing is though it won't be the same: The countryside in RDR was inspired by the American Southwest, the Great Plains, etc., whereas this is a specifically Southern California land. One game was a Western; the other is a Southern Cali crime adventure.

I think I know what's going on here... Everybody, understandably, is rather excited about the news coming soon... so we are all talking bollocks about bollocks to fill in the spare time while we wait for news so we can talk more bollocks about the news we get from the mag.

 

It can't come soon enough, eh lol

 

 

[Honest Bill]

RDR won't hinder your enjoyment of GTA. There will be a world of difference between present day countryside and the old frontier. Think of all the things around LA in this day and age.. Let's just hope it's not all aesthetics and that there is much to do and interact with.

I'm pretty sure you won't be spoiling GTA V when playing RDR. Why?

GTA V will have highways/roads within its countryside.

GTA V's countryside will be modernized unlike the "Old West" frontier of RDR.

There will be more towns and those towns will be modernized as well.

[Dan001]

You can have as much fun as you want swimming in the ocean, but nothing beats a jet ski.

 

V is you're jet ski, OP.

 

Swim as much as your heart desires.

 

Your jet ski will be here shortly.

[Dick Justice]

Playing RDR before GTA V will spoil GTA V like playing Vice City spoiled San Andreas in that it didn't. The last time I experienced something completely new and fresh in a GTA game was when I first played GTA III in 2001 - and I know that that feeling will never be replicated. You aren't spoiling the countryside by playing RDR, you are just experiencing it differently.

[PutAQuarterIn]

I think the scenery and feeling of being in the desert won't feel as new as it did in RDR...

But that should be replaced by the feeling of ripping through it in a 4x4 Squishing small animals (hopefully) for the first time.

I'm hoping the desert/countryside feels like RDR and GTA IV had a bastard child. That should make it new enough for me.

[Jabalous]

Although Red Dead Redemption was and still visually outstanding in all its rural regions, including the desert, I believe that there are still rooms for nice improvements that will make such environments look and feel more outstanding in GTA V. It, referring to GTA V, will have its own weight and wonder attached to its world.

What do you mean hasn't been confirmed to be san andraes, look at the writing on the license plate of the van in the pest control image.

[Suarez7]

Why do people have to over analyse everything? Just f*cking play RDR and then GTA V when it comes out. RDR was over 100 year ago, it will have changed aswell.
