We waited all this time and this is all we get?

[(Yakuza)]

they should of atleast revealed a possible release date prior before/slightly after the first trailer. Leaving us in the blue like this, i dont like. I hate R* for doing this i really do. The game trailer looks like everything is in order but its been months since they showed us anything else. Not even one single article of who the character is and how many cities we have. The story line is not even revealed its just a vague description about finding the "almighty dollar". At least tell us who the character is and a slight backround of whats going on.

give it time. And i say 12.03.12 for the next trailer

what makes you say that? why that date?

[jdrandall38]

I just don't like that they rushed a trailer with no information other than its based on Los Santos and surrounding towns and countryside. It has been 3 months since the first trailer and we haven't gotten any new info. Rockstar works a whole lot differently than most gaming companies. 3 months between information is a LONG time, and we are still waiting...

Well after 3 days of GTA III 10th Anniversary, R* announced the trailer (GTA V) on the 25th October 2011, and released the trailer on 2nd November 2011. Now hopefully 3 days after this GDC event, R* releases the second trailer for GTA V. (hopefully)

 

Oh and people need to wait instead of moaning. R* will surprise

If you think people that gta is about story you are wrong

 

there is more people playing it for free roam

 

thats why gta 4 suck  it dosent have a gta feeeeeeel

 

yeah it has an amazing story but still .....

No GTA Feel?

 

Freeroaming √

Carjacking √

Killable pedestrians √

Police √

 

 

Could you please specify what that 'gta feeeeeeel' is supposed to be?

do you call that free roaming ??

 

 

even driver 3 was better ...

Are there any artifical barriers in GTA IV that prevent you from exploring the map?

You can go everywhere on the map at any time, and that's what freeroaming is about.

 

I don't really see what you are trying to say here, but that conversation is going off-topic anyways.

Pretty sure its been longer than 3 months..

[shotGTA]

just wait god damnit ,

[dinoman]

obvious troll is obvious

[gtamann123]

i must be easily pleased cuz the graphics in the gtav trailor blew me the f*ck away

Same here. I think all the people that complain about the graphics are trolling or had unrealisticly high expectations like 100% photorealistic graphics and a 2000 sq mile Map. But most likely trolling.

[.JimmyHopkins.]

1.When the 1-st GTA IV trailer came out ,everyone was like : OH MY GOD THIS IS EPIC CANT WAIT OMG!!!

 

2.The graphics were and still are amazing and fully suiting their purpose,not lowering the amount of fun or cool experience at all

 

3.Rockstar has to evolve,they move on and change because that's how things work...when the GTA III era started everyone was amazed and expected something better with each game...GTA III compared to the next ones isn't that good,and i think we should look at IV the same way...the next games will evolve from that and get better.

 

4.Rockstar having plans about V before the release of IV is just complete crap,because that would be considered news about V and there isn't any article about that anywhere.Also that's not important actually,if most people want a good game,they need to wait,it takes time and work so get used to it...Rockstar have other games to work on too,after GTA IV there was RDR and that was a huge project....so it's not like they needed 4-5 or whatever period of time to just work on GTA V.

 

5.GTA IV's first trailer was made from the beta and the end game had a lot of changes (find videos about that in youtube) and the same will go for V ,that's why it's called beta ( it's not the end product).

 

6.If someone judges a game from just one trailer made from the beta and doesn't have any more info then that...then that's just subjective and stupid...but if you still wanna hate on it,then just don't buy the game,simple as that.There have been enough topics about this sh*t...

[Lock n' Stock]

 

The game looks terrible from graphics to using an area we've already explored before.

Most people wanted San Andreas/Los Santos back and now they're getting it. What's the deal? And the graphics are excellent and a big improvement over GTA IV.

Edited March 10, 2012 by Gst0395

[whittle13]

You have to be kidding. GTA V has got loads of new cool sh*t:

Sharp shadows

Reflective light

A huge improvement on textures (Really Huge)

Moving materials (like cloth or trees in wind)

A whole new color pallet

The map is gong to be amazing and big

there are dogs and possibly other animals

a huge countryside to explore

air planes to have a but load of fun with

new NPC animations

Convertible cars (controllable)

Jet skis

Physics improvements (probably)

 

that's just A few of the top of my head. And I'm sure R* are planning on showing off all the new features in the build up to the release.

Your only saying this because your angry at R* for not releasing any new info in a while. Trust me, when the game does release, you'll be hooked.

just be patient.

[SpoonTheMan]

I found a graphics comparison between GTA IV & GTA V: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVPwt90W86Q

[The-San-Andreas-man]

The graphics look absolutely amazing. You're just a spoiled douche, nobody wants to hear you complain. My god.

[CheesyJ]

You're talking complete and utter garbage here, I'm afraid. I'm sorry, but I can't put it any other way.

 

Firstly, you're completely off with your times. It isn't 5 years since GTA IV was released. It's not even 4 years since it was released yet, and if you take DLC's into account, then we haven't had anything from them release wise for just over 2 years, which isn't really that bad to be honest.

 

It's quite clear that GTA V is not GTA IV with improved graphics. The graphics do look a lot better, but it's not the only thing. I mean, look at the new city and map we're going to have. It has the potential to be massive, and in great depth as well. Along with the new city, we're going to have a brand new storyline, as well as hundreds of new features which will help to improve gameplay. When you take all of this into account, you're way off if you truly think that this is just a rehased version of GTA IV.

 

Also, a question to you. Why can't you appreciate that by taking more time, it's clear that R* are working hard on the game and making it as good as it possibly can be? Would you rather they just rushed the game and released it when it's not as good as it could be? Do you want R* to turn into one of the many other gaming companies who produce rehashed version of the previous games year after year? I know I certainly don't want them to do any of the above, because it will completely spoil GTA and all that is great about it.

 

In life, there's a little thing called patience. Use it.

[BigAmericanTitties]

you find the graphics terrible....

[Germanviking86]

To be honest the graphics do look like GTAIV. But I'm probrably expecting urban exploration and natural exploration. If I can't run animals over, I am going to be very disappointed, especially if you can't do this.

[straxi1234]

I don't agree with you!

[llpalm08]

Well the OP is quite a moany tit aren't they. The thing I hate more than fanboys are Graphic whores and you are one of them, I couldnt give two sh*ts if the graphics are the same as IV. What woud you rather have, a lifelike photorealistic looking city that is only a 1 mile square with no missions or side missions or mini games and the physics of a lemon rolling down a hill road full of potholes, or would you rather have GTA IV's graphics set is LS with a superb storyline, excelent physics, lots of cars, many side missions and mini games.

Also you need to sort your maths out because GTA IV has been out for 3 years and 11 months, then we also had EFLC released back in 2009 allong with chinatown wars and last year we had the III 10 year aniversary edition for ios.

Oh and also I thaught I may add, the graphics are better, just look at the wind turbines.

[Jace26]

At O.P.:

How can you rate or judge a game that you've never even played? You are putting the cart before the horse, IMO. It's just like people who judge a whole album based on 1 song. That's not being very fair. We are all tired of waiting but damn!

I'm not judging the game itself, I don't think anyone can until it's actually out. I'm judging what we've seen so far, after 4 years the best they could come up with is a rehashed version of San Andreas, I'm not impressed with that.

 

[Jace26]

Great to have topics like this, bringing diversity to the forums. It gets annoying seeing everyone become R* anal buddies, and bashing people who don't suck the corn out of R* ass. Jace26, nice job man.

 

As for me, I will admit that I was very impressed with the first trailer, but that could mainly be due to the fact that a new GTA game is coming alongside of the scenery and what not. I am not some video game programming expert, but I do feel that the trailer showcased the game in its earlier stages of development. If it were shown in much later stages, I think we would have an release date by now. Only time will reveal. I am pretty comfortable with what I have seen thus far (only the trailer, lmao), but there were some ugly bugs in the trailer. But again, it hearkens back to it only being the first trailer. I think vast improvements will be displayed in the second trailer, whenever it is released.

 

Jace26, I definitely see your point though.

Thanks for seeing eye to eye with me, and even if you disagreed at least you said it civil unlike the majority of people on this thread.

To be honest when I first saw the trailer I was dissapointed with it being set in San Andreas as I wanted a new city. But I thought it looked great on first viewing it. But after a few more views and the initial excitement over I really didn't like what I was watching.

I know open worlds are difficult to do, but they did such a great job with San Andreas I thought after all these years it should look a million times better. But for me it still looks far too "cartoony".

But you may be right, the game for all we know could still be in its early phases (which I hope).

[Jace26]

Gta 4 is the worst game i have ever played

 

You see here the worst game not in the series but the worst of all games

 

Boring as hell - free roam dead ,weird ,boring, Sh*t, Nothing to do, this is not gta to me.

 

problem people ???

 

 

I like the GTA V trailer and hope its good

I wouldn't go as far to say its the worst game ever, because it's clearly not.

 

GTA 4 however, did feel "dead" to me and "lifeless" moreso than any other GTA game, for what reason I don't know. After my first play through I normally go back to play through again, but with 4 that feeling just wasn't there.

After one playthrough you had really seen it all I guess.

[Jace26]

I just don't like that they rushed a trailer with no information other than its based on Los Santos and surrounding towns and countryside. It has been 3 months since the first trailer and we haven't gotten any new info.

I'm not sure if its true but I think Rockstar came out and said there will be no new GTA 5 material until May sometime. So its still a while to wait for anything new.

[nikonatorbelick]

Well I respect your opinion, I just wish you could do the same with mine.

 

Actually it has been 4 years.

 

No I don't see any major differences in the graphics between 4 and 5. I think they have gotten more cartoony if anything, its not too much to ask that after 4 years in development Rockstar can't offer a serious improvement.

 

Also realise that the game may not be released until 2013. If those are the graphics from 2011 than in the next 2 years other games will overtake GTA Vs graphics (most have already) and will become outdated by the time of release. This is assuming the current trailer does not represent the finished product.

 

Once the first trailer is released it normally means it is near completion, yes they may slightly improve it before release but it won't be anything major. So I don't see how much more "hard work" they could put into it.

It's obvious they are more focused on Max Payne 3 for now.

[Jace26]

With todays game engines people should expect a lot more than just cartoon graphics.

3 years and 11 months is basically 4 years you idiot, what does 30 days make any difference.

Wind turbines aren't a major thing to be excited over.

If you want to compare the graphics look at the woman that walks across the road in front of the convertible car. The people look like cartoons, if you can't see that then maybe you should consider getting glasses.

[ll rdny ll]

The graphics look way better than IV. I expect to see RDR-esque graphics.

[Jeeebuuus]

I think what we saw in the trailer looks considerably better than IV. The people, buildings, cars, landscape, it all looked imroved. Since they are designing it for XBOX 360 and PS3 there is only so much they can do with graphics. I think IV still has the best graphics of any GTA type of game. Thats just me. It looks beautiful.

[Death2Drugs]

I personally don't think they're cartoony.

 

Hell, the vegetation is a lot better than in IV. Pedestrians look a lot more detailed. IV looked very grey and depressing. This time, we're in San Andreas, which is based on California, where everything is bright, colorful, and cheery.

Hello Jace26 a new guy to the gtaforums as you can tell by now stirring the guys up on these boards is the fastest way to have your guts ripped out and handed back to you, in a manner of speaking. It's always good to hear a different point of view, just try not to stir up to much of a fuss at the same time.

 

O.T.

Personally I don't mind the graphics in GTA V sure its been years since our last tast of GTA goodness, but let's face it the graphics where not that bad in IV I'd say they where pure awesome. As for Rockstar choosing los santos well... like me you clearly love GTA SA so what better place than a location from one of the best GTA game ever!.

 

Peace out Jace26

Hey, well I wouldn't say I'm new to this forum. I've been readin here for over a year, and its only in the last few months I decided to join.

I find it funny that just because I dislike GTA 5 from what I've so far seen, people decide to internet bash me. I have no problem with people disagreeing with me, it makes the forums more alive that way, but theres no need to call me names like dumbass and retard (in the words of GTAKing).

 

No the graphics were not bad in 4 in fact they were a major improvement to San Andreas, I just thought 4 was boring as hell.

 

GTA V hasn't shown anything new, the graphics look the same as in 4 which isn't a good thing considering its been 4 years since then. Having V set in San Andreas wasn't what I wanted, I would have preferred a new city, but I'm sure they'll make it work.

 

I just hope that by GTA 6 they chose a fresh location and not Vice.
