Chainsaw and Katana won't be in

I'm fairly certain that the chainsaw and katana won't make it into the game since it would be considered "over the top" violence, involving gore and dismemberment every time you use the weapons. Kind of a disappointment.

 

San Andreas got away with it because of the "primitive" graphics.

 

What do you think?

I really hope at least one of them is in. If I get the chainsaw I'll cosplay with some creepy mask and a jumpsuit, scaring campers in the woods.

 

If we get the katana, I'll just do some missions with a sword wielding, all tattooed up Trevor, high on meth in just a pair of short shorts, kinda like Ninja from Die Antwoord

Honestly I don't see them implementing a chainsaw, But there's loads of speculation about there being a musuem where you can obtain cool weapons like axes and sword (I personally don't beleive it), but it seems more likely than a chainsaw.

I'm fully aware that there are games which feature constant violence, but I still think GTA V will ltry to avoid this kind of stuff, unfortunately.

 

Just look back at IV and you'll see they never went beyond a few blood puffs.

Besides, the game's rating officially features "rare dismemberments" meaning that even if the chainsaw is in the game, it won't slice peds into pieces :/

Just because theres chainsaws and swords doesnt mean there has to be dismemberment, they can just be heavy daamge melee weapons lacking the satisfaction of that. If they're being left out for any reason its to add them later as item DLC. I'd say a lot of unconfirmed rumours on here of whats in the game will end up being DLC, hell if I was The Benz here is where I'd come for the ideas!

I agree. It will most probably be DLC, which leads me to wonder how that'd work ... on the PC I mean.

Then it doesn't matter, as it hasn't been announced for the pc.

And both of those games are very, very different from GTA.

There is a knife and a hammer, most likely a wrench too and according to the description in ESBR

You'll be able to torture people in a very graphic way

so I don't see how something like this isn't over the top. What do you expect when you hit someone with a hammer? Bullet holes, scars?

It is also said to be the game in the series with most weapons, SA had a lot but this one will have even more and SA included blades, chainsaws and a lot of other weapons. Also in another preview

they said in the mission "Vinewood Babylon" you'll use a weapon identical to the movie

"The Jackal", and as you can see its quite powerful:

Yes they are, missing my point though, I simply mean if those games can get away with what's on there then GTA should as well with no problems c(: i.e using a Katana to make poochie bits out of chop >_<

They said GTA V has more weapons than any other GTA including SA.There are probably some cool melee weapons.
