We need the game to be huge and for console. Not some watered down isometric bullcrap that looks like a kid had fun with the unity engine. (Chinatown wars).

 

Iphone 5 wont support GTA 5 at all.

Heh, try reading the damn thread before posting, mr. Ecce Homo.

The difference between a company like Rockstar and Apple is that Rockstar pours its heart out into IP to make it the best it can possibly be. It's employees focus on making that product the best it can be utilizing all the resources at their disposal.

 

Now, apple already has a 10 year plan of what its gonna sell you each year. They have very advanced technology that your not gonna see for years. They would rather milk the market slowly and release minimalistic updates each year than innovate. Why? because they can. Their marketing has a mass amount of followers by the balls. They are really business smart in that sense. Any time I hear anything about apple I take a look at it, say "uh huh" and move on.

 

Boycott apple - it's a leech - it'll suck your wallet dry and leave you empty wanting more

iPhone 5's debut was a joke. If that's all Apple has going forward without Jobs, they're doomed. But, Rockstar still have the Housers, so GTA will be just fine.

Ok Im sure you are thinking, "Another sh*tty thread" lol But give it a chance

 

So today the iPhone 5 was announced. And the popular opinion is that its pretty much the same thing as the 4/4S. There is a bigger screen, its lighter, slimmer, and has a new OS but thats about it. There really isnt anyhting awe inspiring about this device other than the hardware.

 

So that got me thinking. what if GTA V turned out like this. WHAT IF GTA V was just a bigger/prettier version of GTA IV. It isnt really a bold new direction. They dont add things like custimizing weapons, car mods, businesses, real estate, economic events, detailed side missions, awesome mini games, and so on and so forth.

 

Im not saying it will happen but WHAT IF it did.

 

 

What do you think the chances are of this happening?

 

How would you feel if this happened?

 

Are there any features you feel must be included that werent in IV?

 

This is not an iPhone thread. Keep it on topic and try to avoid arguing about the phone.

That's all I'm hoping for.

 

The big difference between the iPhone analogy and GTA is I still use my iPhone everyday. I rarely play IV and I get bored really quickly. All R* needs to do during a generation is change the location, characters, and story for each new GTA. Graphical upgrades are a bonus and added features are expected, but not really required.

GTA V is a R*North Game there is 0.1% Chance of it being like retardPhone 5

However if it was a game like Call of Duty, then it probably would be.

 

However each GTA is unique. It isn't the same thing re polished.

That is my biggest concern, why V? what features will be new? what new thing will it give to us? it will deserve the "V" on the title?

 

Yeah, I know it is Rockstar, but man... I don't know...

The big difference is that Rockstar has a reputation of always delivering quality, innovative products that are well worth the money, while Apple releases the same, slightly-modified product every single year to its fanbase, whose yearly buyers think of the products more as a fashion accessory than an electronically device.

 

For example: III brought the whole "WTF I CAN DO ANYTHING I WANT TO!" to the video game industry; Vice City is, in my opinion, the single best period piece anywhere out there; San Andreas took what everyone thought was possible with video games/technology of the time and pounded it into the ground, smoked a cig, took its purse, and didn't call back; while IV wasn't as groundbreaking as its predecessors, it did introduce some awe-inducing physics and an incredible amount of NPC scripts.

 

Now -- tell me the last time apple actually did something innovative, and not just grabbed something that already existed, put their logo on it, tripled the price disproportionally to the quality/service, and sold it like hotcakes. Ipod? MP3s already existed since late 98. Ipad? Microsoft made a tablet device back in the early 2000s. Modern macs? Take a PC, strip it down, put an apple on the back, double the price.

 

I'm really biased lol I really hate Apple, they're such dicks.

ITs surprising to see so many people compliment IV and V for that matter. A month or so ago people were ready to chop off S. and D. Housers' heads.

 

I personally believe R* do not disappoint.

This will be a mix of off topic and on topic stuff.

 

Why does everyone seem to hate iPhone? If it wasn't for Apple and iPhone you wouldn't have your cheap shi**y android phones because without Apple they wouldn't have been able to copy everything. This is how I see it; iOS is R* and GTA (innovation and uniqueness) Android is Call Of Duty (Cheap pieces of crap with minimal improvements and little change) I'll get flamed for this but it's the truth and deep down you all know it.

Kinda off topic but in relation to previous posts about apple being the "inventor". yes they have had a great deal to do and many great ideas but the begining of it all .. hmm, open to debate.

To me its alot like saying R* invented the sand box/open world game. im not sure if they did or not but they sure had a great hand in making it the brilliance that open world games can be, nowadays.

just my opinion smile.gif

this link for just one persons take on invention of smart phones

Triple Vacuum Seal

Though Apple is a much more respected company than R* due to it's recent record of entrepreneurial and technological innovation, it should be clear that R* is better at making GTA than Apple is at making iPhones.

 

 

Apple's phone is no better than some of the competition's. They've just built a solid brand around their product that people are willing to pay for (brand is more solid than the actual product). There are more Apple fans than the iPhone fans. In R*'s case, their brand is less valuable than the GTA product. So no. GTAV will not disappoint as much as the iPhone 5 because GTA relies on substance more so than it's title in order to break sales records.

Those people are now jerking to Sleeping Dogs. Not saying it's a bad game, just saying enjoy the time without them. They'll be back soon enough! nervous.gif

This.

 

People try too hard with the Apple hate. If you want cheaper products, don't buy Apple, but I don't understand why people hate Apple so much. I'm typing this on my iPad right now and this thing is amazing. I'm sure other phones and tablets are great as well, but they only exist in their current form because Apple continues to take the tech to the next level.

If if what if if.

We know these ifs are unlikely and stupid why eVen bother asking them?

@Black noise, Apple aren't that revolutionary, they.just make things popular, tablets were around before iPad.

You're going about it the wrong way. Why not assume that's how it'll be from the get-go? V is using the same game engine as IV, so naturally the game will function much the same way. I'm sure the engine has been tweaked and improved, but still. V will be a sequel to IV the same way Vice City was to III. Same era, same gameplay style, same basic functions + tweaks and new bits and bobs.

You're not giving them enough credit. There were tablets, but nothing like the iPad. They did much more than just making their products popular. Popularity only lasts so long if the products aren't quality. How many versions of phones from other popular brands have come and gone? They're all playing catch up. Finally people can choose which awesome phone or tablet they want, and that's all because Apple set the standard. I'm not saying they were first or the best, but they definitely helped everybody else get to a place where that debate can even exist.

That's fairly true, however i still don't like Apple because of their greed, yes they are a company, but they're worse than others.

If Apple had it their way they would have designed the iphone and at this point in time we would still be using a 3g spec phone.

They only revolutionize to make loads of money, then they just milk as much as possible out of it, if it weren't for other companies making similar products and forcing Apples hand we would be way back in time still. Why do you think they sued Samsing, and only Samsung? Because they are forcing Apple to play fair and happen to be the biggest rival so they are going to bite into their Apple an take some of the money they are losing because they rip people off when other companies provide something better for less.

I'm typing this on my iPad right now and this thing is amazing. I'm sure other phones and tablets are great as well, but they only exist in their current form because Apple continues to take the tech to the next level.

I dislike Apple mainly for three reasons: they rip people off, they have zero morals, and they take credit where it is not due.

 

Let's take a PC and a Mac of the same exact specs (retail; pre-built). The mac is severely limited in terms of software capability and customization/part replacement when compared to the PC, and yet it costs more than double the price of the latter. Same really goes with phones/MP3 players.

 

As far as morals go: Jobs was an utter and complete dick. Just google some of the things the man did. Apple itself is a chip of the ol' block. They sue their competitors like crazy; take, for example, the recent Samsung case. Ever heard of the suicide nets?

 

And lastly: Apple has not "innovated" or come out with anything original in decades. Every single product people think Apple "invented" that was put on sale in the last 12 years had already been in the market prior to their respective release. Every single one of them. The reason why people think Apple "innovated" goes back to the company not being a computer/device manufacturer, but rather a fashion accessory vendor. Monkey see, monkey do. You may make a case that Apple improved upon the original designs, but that's standard protocol for every single company entering a market; Samsung won't enter the automobile market by selling exact replicas of Toyota, they will improve upon existing designs.

 

I used to respect Apple back in the days when they actually innovated and brought something to the table.

what did you guys honestly expect being the first iPhone since Steve Jobs died. they weren't gonna drastically change the damn thing, if Sam and Dan died tomorrow, would they make GTA the way they wanted or all of a sudden change everything!? damn some people on this forum. everyone's got their opinions, not only is it "slightly thinner" it's the thinnest and lightest phone on the market, it's also faster, and more powerful, and a damn sight bigger storage than the entry level iPhone 4s. you guys should read up on your facts before posting something. I only used apple products for Garage Band and Pro Tools, but after seeing the iPhone 5, i'm gonna get one. the iPhone is the only thing we could compare GTA too, but it's a bit more predictable, though it looks the same on the outside, it can still make you gasp in awe at what the phone itself can do. you can't judge something like an iPhone purely on the outside, it's like judging a GTA game purely on the graphics, it's stupid.

Honestly, this is one of my biggest fears regarding GTA:V; the game turning out to be a slight "upgrade" of GTA:IV (new map, a few new cars, not much else). I'm hoping that the leap is as awe-inspiring as the one from VC to SA. Judging by what we've seen, it just might be.

Well, I don't expect GTA V to be that super dupper game... Obviously it's gonna be great, Rockstar always did good GTA, but I don't believe it will be so much better than the others!!!!!

Why not?

 

you can't judge it by its cover.

 

no one has played it yet.
