Another update

 

1. Regarding heist mission. As you can see above, many journalists criticized heist mission, and especially it's outcome, when trio kills all police and just leaves crime scene without problems, no one pursues them. As many said, all this looked strange.

 

It turns out that Rockstar clarified this thing.

 

According to Rockstar, it's a "raw" Wanted Level System and they're still working on it.

 

2. Shootouts are frequent, but not as spectacular as in Max Payne 3

They are not going to have the full wanted level in story missions. They will always make story missions easier to get through than gaining six stars in free roam, because they want people to be able to get through the whole story and not get stuck.

 

IIRC Threee Leaf Clover only gets you a 4 star wanted level and you can escape quite easily, even though the mission has you doing stuff that would get you six stars in free roam.

 

I think if Blitz Play got you the max wanted level, then that's where a lot of people's story would end, as they couldn't continue. It's just the way it is in games - developers have to strike a balance between making a mission impossible, challenging and too easy.

Yes, but they mentioned that previously you need to ESCAPE from the crime scene.

 

In the demo you don't need to escape. Police just ends, and no one arrives at the scene of the crime. When you killed all the police and special forces, you just sit down in a garbage truck like nothing happened and no one pursues you.

Not very realistic in my opinion.

R* confirmed that it's still work in progress.

 

Btw, anybody remember that mission in TBoGT where you had an APC and the more cops you killed, the less wanted levels you got?

But it's not realistic that some group of 3 people may kill and destroy them all.

That has always been that way in GTA. I agree that it isn't very realistic.

[bartosz.t]

R* was in Poland on May 20th with 30 min. of demo

Federico Clonfero, International Marketing Manager from Rockstar Games.

So next to Poland is Russia and R* was with the same demo prewiev on May 23th.

Big deal. Same sh*t.

I thought it was an interesting mechanic, in that mission you were scaring off the reinforcements, which would make sense with GTA's very corrupt police and how you were in a freakin' unstoppable killing machine, the LCPD wasn't prepared to fight an APC gunning them down and instead opted to save their own ass, though it didn't make much sense that the normal cops would be the last to back down after the NOoSE had already given up.

[YoungChrist]

Only if GTA was produced by EA...

Lol yeah, the game would suck but we'd probably atleast get video previews and maybe even a beta too.

[Game2048]

Another couple of previews

 

"Bestgamer.ru"

 

http://bestgamer.ru/preview/grand_theft_auto_v.htm

 

1. Physics behavior of the boat looks very plausible - almost better than in submarine simulator "Silent Hunter 5"

 

2. Physics behavior of cars is better than in GTA IV, more realistic - starting from suspension and ending with the sound of engine.

 

3. Wanted Level in Heist mission is 4 stars.

 

4. Time to time author noticed loading of the textures, lack of anti-aliasing on PS3. But author says that it's easy to deal with it, because, in general, world is amazing

 

5. Despite the total apparent finality, the game is clearly far from completion.

However, even now game looks like 100% hit

GTA V, an exclusive preview

 

Yesterday in Moscow happened is truly a significant event for the domestic igrozhurov - this is the second time come for Rockstar representatives to Moscow, and not just a social visit for an interview - they showed perhaps the most anticipated game of the year. And, you guessed it - is Grand Theft Auto V. I will not bother not particularly important details of the presentation - get right to the point, namely the live gameplay, which we have demonstrated.

 

Say at once - live gameplay shown on the basis of the PS3 version of the projector, so the beauty of the graphics are not able to estimate, but, nevertheless, even in this form it looked decent. From the darkness of the image gradually appears, and we see Franklin, located on the steps of the helicopter, and it is wearing a parachute. Another second and we're flying over the surrounding area of ​​Los Santos. A birds eye view of stunning. We are located at a height of several tens of kilometers above the earth and is visible from almost the entire island. But even from this angle Los Santos looked like a 1/8 (or even 1/10) part of all the available cards to the player. Of course, it could just be an optical illusion, but it looked amazing.

 

Just a few seconds of free fall and parachute opens (his coloring repeats the same that we've seen in TBoGT). Planning to "wing" on the left side of the full extent of our views of the military base (with a height of it looked just like a big airport, but the developers have explained that it is the military base). And at that very moment on the runway gaining speed airliner huge blue and white colors. Even taking into account the fact that the ground was more than a kilometer, the airliner was seen extremely clearly and size looked very massive.

 

 

 

 

Airliner flies, and we are gradually getting closer to the ground. The eyes are opened vast mountain ranges, which are scattered on the slopes of the steep mountain road (some of them we have already seen in the earlier screenshot with mountain bikes). Truly admire the picturesque scenery, flies to the ground and notice the small river on the left somewhere which holds its way police jeep. And then, finally, we landed.

 

Franklin appears to be quite strong in stature and more impressive than we could be seen on the pictures. After going a little forward, we meet the tourists who fish near their homes. While we watch the fishermen, we meet two more approaching tourists with great hiking bags, very vividly discussing something. Having caught up with Franklin, they briefly interrupt their conversation to say hello to him. After that strangers go on, resuming their conversation. In this first episode of Franklin was over.

 

Caused the character selection wheel (left - Michael, above - Trevor, right - Franklin, bottom section located to switch to your character in multiplayer), and we switched to Trevor. The camera jerks up and takes off smoothly moves in the direction of the beach, located east. The camera moves down (again jerks), and here we see Trevor, who up to that point was unconscious. Trevor wearing only shorts and a bottle of rum in his hand (which he almost immediately crashed on the rocks) wakes up on the shore surrounded by three bodies of bikers gang The Lost (about it again, we were told the developers, as close to the bodies we did not fit and lettering on jackets were not discern). Rugnuvshis, we are moving to the boat. Since the boat was in the water, but not at the pier, we come to it, coming up to his chest in water.

 

Trevor awkwardly climbs aboard and sits behind the steering wheel. Moving along the coastal area to the intended point on the map, we meet the youth get-together on the beach. Some people are in a jeep, which, apparently, they came here, others cut through the water surface near ski. Water in the game does look very cool. Here and water plumes from the courts to take a ride, and not at each other like realistic waves. But back to the sea promenade. Upon reaching the destination, Trevor will be equipped in the diving suit and goes down to the depths of the sea.

 

We immediately see that over the underwater space Rockstar worked as carefully as the above ground locations. If the San Andreas shores were almost all gentle and often can be found only at the bottom of rare corals and rocks, then there is the underwater cliffs, canyons, wrecks and many other elements of the underwater architecture that we love to watch on channel Discovery. In the meantime, developers remind us that this is not just for show. Exploring the underwater world - an important element of the gameplay, and a treasure hunt is not the only thing that you will be able to keep him occupied. Surfacing, switch to Michael. While we went and studied the seabed, has already come evening.

 

 

 

 

Michael comes out of the hotel somewhere in Los Santos, and the first thing that catches your eye - is the play of colors of the city. Liberty City as the real New York, seemed a rather drab city, which in principle is in real life (though some may disagree with me). Los Santos same - a city of contrasts and varied architecture. After GTA IV looks very lively and realistic. The world lives without the participation of the player, there are people on the streets, chatting, reading newspapers. During our walking we did not encounter any recurring resident. Clothes to look more realistic, she has a relief and it is clear that this is not just a texture. As we walked to the random missions (marked on the mini-map with a question mark), seen from a particularly remarkable was the only tattoo parlor in which it will be possible to make tattoos characters.

 

The essence of the random mission was to help the girl (as it turned out, a star of Vinewood'a) to hide from the paparazzi chasing her heels. Taking her car and met her at the appointed place, we try to hide from prying photographers. In principle, nothing special about this mission was not. Slipped on a pair of speed quarters, broke away and took the girl to her home. However, this short chase showed us that Rockstar continued to work on the physics of cars, and now their behavior more realistic and go as they "vzapravdashny." Needless to ignore the fact that those meetings will be in the game very much, and whether you need help - it depends only on you.

 

The short time available to us to get acquainted with Michael, come to an end and the story begins mission. The goal - to rob armored truck. Michael in the cut-scene briefs Trevor and Franklin, showing them something on the screen of your mobile. Then the main characters dress up in clothes of scavengers in disguise. Franklin and Trevor go forward on the tractor, and Michael takes the garbage and sent to organize a blockade on the road.

 

As I understand it, the purpose of showing that the mission was to demonstrate the interaction once all game characters. Trevor somewhere away from the binoculars directs teammates on the approximation of their goals, Michael blocked the way to collectors, Franklin ramming them in the side (switching it happen automatically) and the van spectacularly flies off, turning on his side, simultaneously punching a concrete wall, to destroy all the laws of physics . Do not delay, Franklin gets out of the car, grab the explosives, attaches it to the van's rear doors Collector (in the manner of sticky bombs from the same TBoGT) and undermines it. Doors fly out of the cab and take out the stunned police, realizing that something was not right, take the defense. In place comes a lot of police officers and crews to get rid of them. Here we can use the free switching between characters. Franklin and Michael directly in a shootout with police and fight side by side. Trevor also has a comfortable position somewhere on the roof and covers teammates with the sniper rifle. Ordinary police removed easily, but with the special forces have to tinker, because they have good armor equipped. And easy to get off, just releasing the cage floor in the stomach, has not come out.

Having dealt with all the cops, take the garbage truck and drove to a remote parking lot, where we were waiting for another car. Having destroyed the murder weapon, sit in a car and leave. And in this presentation ends.

 

 

 

 

However, this is only a general positive paints. On some controversial moments I will now. First, it was demonstrated deformation physics machines. Rockstar employee intentionally crashed into any obstacles, and when touched the bar, it was clear that the car was left without a scratch. Therefore, we can conclude that on this element of the game is still intense work and they are not yet ready to show it. Perhaps we are in for something even more ambitious?

 

Secondly, it is extremely unusual and uncomfortable new mini-map. It is made in the style of GPS, with an arrangement of three lights of different colors (red, blue and yellow), which may be used to display the level of health (red), armor (blue) and special abilities (or yellow). However, this is just a guess, the developers did not describe the card. And if driving a car mini-map looks more appropriate, when walking the walk is a little strange. By the way, the map shows the nearest location is not a classic view from the top, but again, as in the GPS-navigators, at a slant.

 

Third, to blow up the car, it was necessary to shoot her entire 10 rounds (no matter where), and it immediately exploded. And these explosions were similar to the undermining of defective fireworks (light cotton and flash). Again, I think that is still being finalized and the destruction of transport with explosions was not the main purpose of the presentation.

 

In general, the game left a good impression. Rockstar Games is preparing an ambitious project hitherto unprecedented scale. It is necessary to give them their due and say thank you for the opportunity to touch this amazing and the living world. World GTA V. We'll be waiting!

Interesting precautions Rockstar made on presentation.

 

In order to get to the presentation, first journalists had to get rid of all the technical equipment they had. In exchange they received a bracelet. There was security at the entrance to the hall, who allowed to enter only to people with bracelets.
