dansgas1000 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Hi Guys do you think GTA is becoming a little less 'GTAish' I mean Older GTA's like Vice City and San Andreas and III had more wepaons felt more kinda violend but since GTA IV rockstar are focusing more about the 'setting' and the grahpics. By looking at the new GTA V screenshots it dosent really seem GTA'ish like theres a guy Parachuting and farming etc... What do you guys think about this matter? Post all ya' sh*t below Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0eladn Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 GTA has gone soft? A little maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonjack Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Yeah I kind of miss that old Rockstar Games feeling long time ago. But for GTAV? I might just think that Rockstar CAN bring that feeling to life in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaydon17 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Maybe just a little. But its has to change it up every version to keep it new I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golf wang Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Definitely. GTA IV was lacking some of my beloved favorites like the chainsaw, katana, and flamethrower. I hope GTA V really brings that classic feeling from the III era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaggySnake Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) The first Grand Theft Auto game's main focus was stealing cars and causing chaos. That's why they named it that. Sure, people still go steal cars and cause trouble in recent GTA games but it isn't the main focus anymore. It's really noticeable with V. There are screenshots of people sitting by the water in a park, playing tennis, riding a bike on the beach at sunset, parachuting or going racing on motorbikes in the hills. It's just people doing what most people do in life. It's not all criminals with guns and stealing cars.

simonp92 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Most fans would take San Andreas over IV anyday. That's why the hype for GTA V is so big, since it's set in Los Santos in San andreas, Fans expect the old redicilous GTAs of the past. Don't get me wrong, those games were great, but GTA IV knocked them all out of the park with a real life atmosphere and story over heaps of content and flashy missions.

kurvenflo Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 What do you guys think about this matter? I hope R* sticks to the direction they took by making IV. Always liked how they evolved the series into the current gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMAHAWKS Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 GTA definitely has become less GTA'ish. All of the other games where a criminal's story of trying to fight the system and become rich. Ever since GTA IV everything just got weird. I like TLaD, though. It was a nice change of pace from all of the other GTA games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thestoneman420 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 They are maturing with their audience, most talented and passionate artists do so. People blow IV's "not-so-GTA" thing out of proportion. IV was not so much different from GTA III in terms of limitations, atmosphere, setting. It was their first GTA with the RAGE engine and Euphoria physics system, they couldn't just go balls deep, much in same way as III. Now with V they have the experience of IV (and EFLC), RDR and Max Payne. They have the know-how to go balls deep, much in the same way as SA.

Guest Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I like the calmer aspects. But if we didn't have guns and fun sh*t, it'd be boring. I want a balance of both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kill Frenzy! Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 If are talking about customization I don´t really care about it, I prefer the graphics but I think that V is going the have the same graphics as IV only a little bit more edited, so I think V is going to have much more stuff to do and to use...

I agree with it, and the series seems to be evolving at a perfect pace for/with me. One must also consider that things like the chainsaw grow more and more controversial as the physics and graphics grow ever closer to reality. I would love to see the chainsaw etc. return with how the graphics are currently, but outside influences may deter it.. damn the outside influences... damn their eyes.

I Shot The Sheriff Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Let's hope GTA V recovers part of that, however, I think that GTA IV was a definitive direction change. Not that all future GTAs are going to be serious and dark like IV was, but a small part of that is going to stay here (on the series) for some time. And I'm OK with that TBH.

Noob_Noobersson Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 At first, with GTA III, there was some serious shock value. It was amazing that I could buy a hooker, go to a back alley to be serviced, and then shoot her in the head and take her money. At the time, that kind of freedom, to do absolutely twisted criminal things, had never been done before. It was fresh and we were all amazed with the possibilities. Even outside of missions, just killing sh*t--this was an entirely new gaming experience. From a freedom-to-do-whatever-you-want-type experience, this set teh bar. And I think, over the next few years, R* started to realize that the open-world freedom was actually much greater than anyone initially thought. I say this, b/c you started to see R* increasingly adding other things--and not just criminal things, for players to do. They realized that violence, gratuitous violence, and criminality was no longer needed to be the main selling point. Instead, they are making games where you can do a whole host of activities, and the violence and criminal behavior aren't the only options w/ regard to gameplay. I actually like to be able to just drive around, completing racing challenges and stuff. And going out killing as many people as possible before I explode into flames is sweet too. But I like that I have an awesome amount of freedom with regard to what I am going to do while playing a R* open-world game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DlZZEE Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 It's because of the RAGE engine, It's slugish, unresponsive and slow paced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvega0422 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I'd say the GTA series has, as a whole, evolved alongside its primary fan base. In my opinion, it's grown right alongside me -- as a child, the cartoonish/mindless fun of the GTA I/II, as a teenager the over-the-top violence and arcade-esque setting/physics of the 3rd generation (LC/VC/SA), and transitioning to adulthood with the more realistic, high quality sandbox experience of the 4th generation, now as an adult whose settled down, this 5th generation is the combination of realistic physics/environments with the most fully-featured sandbox gameplay yet. It will go closer to Skyrim in terms of realism, closer to Saints Row in terms of features, and Rockstar will once again create a map that millions of people will know better than their hometown and a cast of characters that millions of people will know better than those they know in real life.

bowling...? Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 GTA IV felt like a GTA to me, just more serious with a better storyline yet sucky missions. Maybe it's because I'm younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durden Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I have high hopes for V. So far 2 of my favourite things are in the game -- Military and Bicycles. Now all I need for GTAV to be the best game in history is for it to have a sh*tload of good cheats like in SA. ...Ok I lied. GTAV is already my favourite game of all time, even if it doesn't have any cheats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandere Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 You're judging only by GTA IV. I think GTA V would be as "GTAish" as SA, VC or III. Please, correct me if there's some mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackNoise Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I just hope there are a lot of different weapons and more gore. I love the direction R* is taking the series in terms of visuals and physics, but the violence and fun needs to be there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n1dal Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 GTA only can be little less 'GTAish' if its outside USA. Other then that is ok.They'r doing great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
