[Gouveia]

There it is, the f*cking Coquette Classic!

[Stringer Bell]

man i hated flight school...took me forever to beat in SA...screw Mike Toreno

 

i was stuck on this mission for years

 

 

 

i had all the islands unlocked so i said screw it...came back years later and a walkthrough on youtube helped me beat it

 

didn't think about flying on the coastline at the time and kept trying to go straight to the marker so thats why i kept failing

[LeonVegaSuarez]

sh*t that looks f*ckin sweet.

 

the Corvette looks badass, too.

[WildBrick142]

Is R* website broken for anyone else too? It now won't load both the main page and Newswire.

[Apex]

^ Yup, it's down for everyone.

[TwisterVictor1]

Is R* website broken for anyone else too? It now won't load both the main page and Newswire.

 

I'm encountering that as well.

[lol232]

Inb4 "f*ck, NO NAZI FLAG PARACHUTES!"

 

Jokes aside this is excellent, I kinda hoped for the Hydra but this is pretty good too.

Edited August 18, 2014 by lol232

[Flachbau]

Was this trailer shot on next gen consoles/PC?

[kaya4195]

Next gen news please!!!!!!

[LeonVegaSuarez]

Is R* website broken for anyone else too? It now won't load both the main page and Newswire.

 

Yea, maybe theyre updating it.

[PerfectBlade]

OOhhhh YEAH..I CAN'T WAIT.

[lazloisdavrock]

they would make a trailer for a GTAO update and not the damn upcoming release. lmao

[Pawelo]

Hydra, Hunter where are you hiding?

[Lowi]

[XxKobra369xX]

@ 0:34 that's the HYDRA spinning around (first shot is the Lazer, close-up is the hydra) . It's certainly not the Lazer (because the Lazer doesn't have front-mounted aelerons) or Besra(the one they keep showing for the stunts) and it's certainly not the Miljet lol. Keep your hopes up guys

[Spider-Vice]

Wow, that sent the Rockstar website flying for some reason.

[Ash_735]

*yawn* My least enjoyable part of GTAV gets an entire DLC dedicated to it, yay, flight school.

[lazloisdavrock]

what about that game they were talking about in june

[RolfStarGames]

The helicopter is from TBOGT... c'mon R*

[LeonVegaSuarez]

Rockstar site is working again.

 

 

Theyre saying "coming to GTA Online"....did they say that for the DLC before as well? I sure as f*ck hope we get all the new vehicles, planes ect for SP as well.

[WildBrick142]

Newswire is back up!

 

...aaaaand it's just a video and a description.

[Gnocchi Flip Flops]

The only thing I care about is the C2 Corvette lookalike they made. I like it, glad it comes as a coupe and a convertible.

[DIEXEL]

Stupid online sh*t.

[PerfectBlade]

Newswire is back up!

 

...aaaaand it's just a video and a description.

....ouch..i was so hyped...

aaaaaaannnddd, hype is gone.

[lazloisdavrock]

[Nick930930]

Yeah and it looks terrible. A new jet.. and a new transport chopper...

Thanks Rockstar for that entire month of silence... meanwhile, the next gen game still has no release date and the heists are completely MIA
