nitara Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I still find this post interesting. Although a few things are wrong, there certainly is a lot of things he got right. And they were not easily guessed. I even think the parts he gets wrong were because Rockstar had not locked down much in terms of the features that would make it in the final game and the ones that would not. I am really interested in the part where he says we get to bust a known GTA icon out of prison.. Who could it be? A poster claiming to be a games journalist for "a Playstation magazine in the UK" (presumably PSM3) has professed, on the GTA Forums, to having privileged information about the game. He says that magazine staff experienced 30 minutes of Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto V at the developer's Scotland offices. It should be noted that everything below is rumor, subject to absolutely no validation whatsoever. Some of the things he writes do make sense, however, and should make for interesting discussion. 1: The game world is absolutely massive and will push both xbox and PS3 to the very limit in terms of what it has accomplished. Yes, the main city is simply Los Santos however is it AT LEAST 4 times bigger than Liberty City in GTA 4 and that is just Los Santos. The surrounding country side, beaches, etc are massive. For instance, we saw the main character ( an African/American, early 30's) travel by car from the center of Los Santos into the wildnerness and it took over 15 minutes. The views were incredible from farmhouses with cattle, huge wind farms, an oil refinery which appeared to be living and breathing with nearly 100 NPCs working on machinery, operating vehicles, lifting and loaded, etc, unlike the gas works in GTA 4 which seemed to only house a few NPC at a time. The forests are more beautiful than those in RDR and featured people camping, young NPC drinking and dancing around campfires, people riding dirt bikes and jumping over logs, streams, etc. The water effects, forna, plants, trees all looked beautiful. 2: The shooting mechanics have been greatly improved with animations for diving, climbing, rolling and crawling all added for better realism. The re-loading animations for new ammo also look cooler, less static. 3: There is much more climbable elements in the world such as ladders, overhand climbing, etc. 4: There are animals in the game from dogs to cattle but at this time it is not confirmed if you will be able to harm the animals. Rockstar were able to get away with it in RDR as it was a true depiction of the world in which the game was set. Allowing dogs/cattle to die in a game sent in current times may cause headaches with PETA. Its unclear if Rockstar were joking here. 5: There are planes to pilot and they can be crashed into buildings if you choose to do so.... 6: Rockstar have included many, many more interior locations such as a shopping mall, college campus, police station, a huge hospital and there is also a vast underground sewer network which one mission later in the game involves a jet ski chase that culminates in a Fugitive-esque waterfall jump ( there are nods to the ridiculous but awesome Ballad Of Gay Tony missions) 7: The city is full of NPCs jogging, weight-lifting, hitting on women, being chased on foot by cops, shopping, washing cars, fixing fences, moving home, filling up their cars, etc. REAL JUICY INFO: 1: Cars can be upgraded/repaired and it has been considered to have a car have fuel forcing the player to fill her up. 2: The dating aspect of the game is gone. You still have a cell-phone but only people you will meet in the game will call you to ask you to do a mission or to ask you to do something else before the mission. 3: Weapons include the usual arsenal you'd aspect but the flamethrowers, remote mines, laxer trip mines and claymores are included. It is possible now to pick up random objects in a street/buidling to use as a weapon. There is also a museam where it is possible to steal old age swords, axes, etc. 4: it is possible to rupture a fuel line and if you shot at the trail of gasoline it will lead straight back to the car blowing it up. 5: mini games such as bowling, darts, etc have all gone. You can play basketball, weight train, arm wrestle, gamble and cage fight, enter triatholons, water races, cannoing, ab-saling, rock climbing, base jumping, ski diving. More to be confirmed. 6: Character customisation is back but only in terms of clothing, body weight, etc. The player you start off which, much like CJ, can't be altered by race, age, height, etc. 7: Rockstar said burglary missions may return but only as part of missions and not on neigbourhood houses. 8: No children NPC at all. Ever. 9: There is now an ability to grab people and use as sheilds or in "hostage" situations. 10: The cops are much, much, much more realistic. If you kill somebody when you know there are no cops around you will not run the risk of a one star as often as you would in GTA4. The cops will use smoke and tear gas, dogs, riot gear and rams to knock down the doors of buildings you are hiding in. 11: You can enter some buildings and lock doors, push objects in the way to barricade. 12: You become better at things as the game progresses. If you only ride motorbikes then you will increase your skills, same as individual weapons. 13: Certain weapons can be customisable and some even home-made. 14: One mission involves breaking out a very familiar GTA icon from a previous game... 15: Torrential rain fall and sunshine and even tremors will appear in the game.

Some people are always going to be douche's I'd say this should get a big Legit or not, most of the sh*t matches. Things like cage fighting is EXACTLY the kind of thing that could very well be in the game but one of the things Rockstar wants to keep from us for release or at least reveal very close to release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizentu Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Some smart person could see when that was really posted. Though I think it would be harder to fake a disqus timeline, so even us nonsmart people can see that the comments are 2 years old. He mentioned quite a few things that are confirmed and would have been impossible to know back then unless he is actually telling the truth. IF its real, it gives us only a little bit of new info but some of it is exciting to hear and learn. Like Tremblers which I full expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply stated a well known fact, and this leak OP is talking about (in a nostaliga LOOK BACK way or whatever, I understood that) was just one of those cases. now take a step back...and chill. edit: like I didn't read that leak the day it hit the webs....psssh...philistines ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is something no one would just come up with on the spot and actually be in the game. Absolutley!!! He has quite a few items in there that no way anyone would have known. Also the ones he does get wrong could be as Rockstar has stated.. They tested and tried a bunch of things early on and if they could not get them to work they were cut from the game. I think a few items he lists such as fueling the cars were even mentioned in the interviews with Rockstar. I wonder how many of the other items which we do not know anything about are in or not.

Vin89 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Lot of stuff could be just a good guess. Cage fighting? Seen it already. Not hard to say R* will copy and paste that from TBOGT. Animals? Yeah, copy and paste from RDR. Better weapon reloading animation? Well it would be a shame if they didn't improve on every aspect in the game at least a little bit.. Plus he was wrong with a lot of things like character costumization. The big think with the 3 protags wasn't even mentioned. I think they came up with this pretty early. Definetly before the game looked like it could be shown to outsiders (btw why in the name of jesus would they do that? doesn't sound really rockstar'esque).

They may not have shown that off the 3 character stuff in the early demos.. Perhaps they were not sure they could get the mechanics of it working properly early on.. I will not sit here and say this is all 100% true.. But he gets some parts correct way before any of that was mentioned even last year. I hope he gets a few more pieces correct. Parts 10 and 11 would be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for posting and let's hope some of the great stuff actually is in the game! I'm not saying it is legit but maybe he got some too-good guesses. I also realize (seems like few 'get it') that you're not saying that it is 100% legit but yes, it's impressive nevertheless how he got so much right. Maybe, just maybe he was stating the truth...
