I consider status updates to be Asylum-level. I wouldn't delete a status for pointing out that Marney is a cunt. Do it again, angeal. DO IT proud american.

This is awesome:

Teenagers who play 'risk-glorifying' video games like Grand Theft Auto are more likely to be reckless drivers, claims study Read more: http://www.dailymail...l#ixzz26SyGKEV5

I'm rather impressed that you knew when to use our 'Luis Zelaya' emoticon.

I will summarise my opinion by simply shouting "gaaaaaaaay!" at the OP.

Let's look at Rockstar's major title releases for the last 5 years... 2008 - GTA IV - April 2009 - GTA TLAD - Feb, GTA CTW - March, GTA TBOGT - October (Not really MAJOR releases) 2010 - Red Dead - May 2011 - L.A Noire - May 2012 - Max Payne 3 - May Hmmm, so that must mean that GTA V will be coming out in... OCTOBER 2012! IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE!

Me too. A man can dream.

I hope that you drive your little European shitbox straight into a big-ass 1970 Cadillac. American cars being "big-ass" is their biggest problem. Just sayin'.

ITS OBVIOUSLY GTA 5!

omg pleeeease dont be too creepy lmao xD Oh I also have an awesome idea. Know how on Just Cause 2 when you fly over to the island on the top left corner and your planes or boat just dies? lol They could do that with this sorta thing, driving in the woods but you get to a creepy part and your car just dies and won't start. That would be cool

I think if R* actually put something into the game like a werewolf or bigfoot etc. It would just get found due to all the hunters out there, millions of videos on youtube would confirm it, and it would be kind of boring and stupid because there will be no mystery behind it. Its better when there are just clues or mysterious things in the game to let us come up with myths about why that particular strange thing is there. Or if they were to actually put in something like bigfoot then they should program it so that our character can almost never be close to it only in the very distance and it should be extremely rare to see and in the right circumstances, with an even rarer chance of getting close to it. And even then only seeing it for a spilt second. Also an almost zero chance of it killing you. But there is a chance. That would make it very mysterious and creepy when your all alone in the forests. But mysterious clues or hints are the main things I want to find. Thats what makes it interesting

saw a new trailer make its debut last night during the NFL opener, forgot about it till now... sporting events like that tend to get debut trailers, call of duty has done it a few times off the top of my head... anyways, it's a good one... it's even showing us more of connor, and his interactions with the resistance...

I would like to see: : Drivable Yachts BIG ONES : All seen clothing available via store (in-game) or mission unlock : Flamethrowers!!!! : Antonov AN-225 : Realistic damage models : Every vehicle customizable and available : Varying explosion sizes : Cloth physics/ APEX : Waves ; breakwaters on beaches n such : Vinewood or malibu mansion safe house : Customizable safehouses : An all dubstep radio station : A massive Desert : Ability to import itunes music onto ingame radio : Finally, all enterable vehicles with detailed interiors. Be able to get off the yacht's bridge and walk around inside. In a plane (passenger jet) walk around cabin in-flight...that kinda stuff

Yay! First post! Some of these may have been mentioned before, but here's what I'd like to see: -Several versions of the same car. For example, sedan and station wagon versions of the Oracle, convertible, notchback, and fastback versions of the Stallion, and two-door and four-door versions of the Hakumai. Maybe even different model years or generations of the same car like a 1986 Sentinel and a 2012 Sentinel. -More realistic Police. Maybe at a one star wanted level you can pull over and they'll give you a ticket rather than arresting you. You shouldn't get arrested for getting in a minor fender-bender with a cop or knocking someone down because they walked out into the street. One time (in GTA 4), a ped was running from a cop, runs right out into the road in front of me. I swerved and slammed on the brakes and end up just knocking him over. He gets up and keeps going, but the cop runs right up to my door and arrests me for hitting the criminal he was chasing! It's times like this that drive me bonkers. -More realistic traffic and AI. I think there should be a slider in the options menu that allows you to adjust the amout of traffic on the roads (off, low, medium, high, realistic?). Also, different amounts of traffic should spawn in different areas. There should be more traffic downtown and on major roads/motorways and less traffic in residential areas and side streets. The traffic AI definately needs to be improved. They can't seem to figure out how to turn left, they often swerve violently without reason (especially on the Algonquin Bridge), and when you stop for a red light (Which I do regularly because I'm weird) they honk at you, try to go around you like you're an obstacle, and usually end up rear-ending you. -There needs to be an option to keep your car from dissapearing when you go away from it or get in another vehicle. Here's how I think it should work: Get in the vehicle you want to keep. Take out your phone and go to "options". Press "save vehicle". Now the vehicle you're in will never dissapear no matter how far away you go or how many other vehicles you get into. It'll even stay wherever you left it if you die, get arrested, or go on a mission. This also means you can take your rare car on mission and not have to worry about having to leaving it behind. So you can drive your favourite car instead of leaving it at your safe house because you don't want to lose it. -I don't really care about in-depth car customization (though it would still be cool), but I definately want to be able to pick my car's colour at a Pay n' Spray. Of course I also want all the usual stuff like a big map, good story line, and planes and bikes, but that pretty much sums up the ones that are most important to me. GTA V will be sweet!

I really would like to have the ability to climb. Sounds simple but, imagine if our character has the skill to climb things well (Im not talking Assassin's creed level climbing ability here) But, just a slightly above basic ability, which also brings with it the ability to free run. I think it will take being chased by cops on foot to a new exciting level. The climbing abilities in GTA games have felt stiff at basic. SA was heading in the right direction but gta4 went backwards imo. (Niko just felt slow and tired, and couldn't climb things well) The free running and climbing skills could be "learned" in game as a new skill. Just like how you could learn new fighting moves in SA. (possibly learning the skills over time so you eventually get better at it.) To me, this wouldn't be a far fetched idea at all. Of course, I'm not saying with should become super skilled at climbing, like climbing massive cliffs or skyscrapers and with just bare hands and without ropes. (Although, that would be pretty sweet) It would just be another cool way of getting around. Climbing things and free running over the tops of rooftops etc. I think the screen shot of the "latino looking guy" hanging onto the moving truck looks promising for this idea. I want to feel like my character is agile and athletic. (of course if the Ned Luke guy is the protag, then this idea will seem fucking stupid) haha! Just putting it out there

Good point, it'd be nice to see a random robbery or something occur which has nothing to do with us instead of just seeing the odd pedestrian get arrested and marched in to a police car. Purse snatching. You can chase after the robber and steal it for yourself.

New Poster, what I want in GTAV is all 3 Cities Los Santos, San Fierro, Las Venturas and all the countyside inbetween including forests, lakes, deserts ( Area 51 ) with plenty of hidden content/minigames and side missions taking place in these locations. I Definately want more customization like in the older games, for instance: - In Depth Car Customization ( since it's Grand Theft AUTO ) including Body Kits, Chrome Detailing, Candy/Matte/Gloss Paint Jobs, Vinals, Window Tints, Spinners on the Rims ( maybe with Retractable Spikes like in Saints Row ), etc..... all in all more like San Andreas. Also Performance based Customization like Superchargers, Turbochargers, Nitrous maybe some more Advanced Tuning. I want Hydraulics for my Low Ryders so I can bounce past Mean Mugging Ballers and maybe do a Drive-By ON DA SUCKAS. But also maybe more game changing upgrades which might be unlocked by completing in game challenges or meeting specific requirements like getting hidden packages/tags or what not. For instance Bulletproof/Bombproof car body upgrades ( to turn your favourite ride into a tank ) or Re-Enflatable Tyres ( for when the cops use spike strips) . Other ideas: Subwoofers ( for increased BASS that really Echoes in the Surrounding Environment ), custom car horns ( La Cucaracha/Dukes of Hazard? ), Neon/LED Underglow lights ( when cruising the Mean LS Streets at Night ), some kind of James Bond Gadgets ( like Spiked balls falling out the back of the car when triggered ). Also Boat Customization with Paint Jobs, Body Kits etc, and maybe weapon/armour upgrades ( like Sea Mines/Miniguns/Reinforced Armour Plating ). Also Helicopter/Jet Upgrades ( maybe more Advanced Weapon System Upgrades for these or Secondary weapons that can be used by a Homie/Friend ). Other ideas: Submarines/ Assault Hover Craft/ Jet Packs with built in weapons systems? ). - Plenty of Interesting Weapons that are upgradeable/customizable ( for instance Suppressors, Laser Beams, Tactical Flashlights ). Different ammo for all the weapons Buckshot/Slug/Beanbag/Frag Rounds for shotguns (bean bag for the luls), Full Metal Jacket Armour Piercing Rounds for Assault Rifles ( for dealing with Armoured SWAT, The FIB or the ARMY ), and Undermounted 203 Grenade Launchers/Masterkeys, Infared/Nightvision scopes for Sniper Rifles (making a spot of night time sniping that much easier). Tracer Rounds for all guns. More melee weapons, bring back the Chainsaw and Katana . Also the ability to dual wield Pistol's, SMG's, Swords and other weapons. More imaginative Weapons like Nunchuks/Shuriken/Bull Whip/Light Sabre/? More blood and maybe dismemberment? - Recruitable Homies/Friends or Bodyguards that are upgradeable ( For instance better armour, better upgraded cars ) which have different unlockable weapons and you get to choose which ones they use ( for instance Shotgun for Close Quaters, Assualt Rifles for Range ), and the ability to upgrade their skills/weapons and armour the more they fight alongside you ( they gain Experience ). Maybe you could customize the gang itself (once you reach a high enough Level of Respect or become a Captain/Boss/OG within the Organisation/Gang), like say Gang Colours, Gang Signs, Gang Cars, Gang Weapons, Body Armour/Bullet Resistant Vests, the ability to upgrade the gangs Crib/Headquaters ( Personalizing your gang, deciding whether they drive Bently's or Escalade's, are they Sharply Dressed Organized Criminals or a C-Walking, Flag Dropping Set ). Maybe this is going too far, but games such as Saints Row ( which mirrors some of my ideas ), don't have anywhere near the same polish GTA games have. I think Rockstar could create a much better game with some more varied ideas, while still retaining the Quality that they are famous for. Simpler is NOT Always Better. - I think an ealier poster said this but I want to buy vacant lots and then decide what I want to build there ( Commercial property like buildings/businesses which could become Fronts for your Illegal Enterprises ) so I can rake in the money and really feel like a boss. Maybe incorporate side missions into these properties (like in Vice City Stories but more in depth) And bring back buying cribs for youself and let you decorate and even renovate your new place ( Jewellry/Money/Gun Safe, a Home Cinema, Stripper Poles with strippers included, Massive Fish Tanks with Sharks or Electric Eels in them - Bigger Pool with a waterfall and spa/sauna, Bigger Garage to show off all your custom rides, Massive Gold Statues etc ). - I want to gamble like crazy at one of the many fine establishments dotted around the Major Cities. From Back Alley Dice Games to Small Seedy Unliscenced Dens to the Deluxe Mega Casinos that offer Special Highroller Rewards ( like Presidential Suites, Escorts, New Cars/Weapons/Rewards). The Casino's cater to every type of gambling you can think of ( some being Horseracing, Blackjack, Poker Machines etc), but especially Texas Hold'em I think should be like Red Dead Redemption's, but with Funny/Dangerous/Crazy GTA NPC's ( maybe make an additional mode for online multiplayer ), with higher stakes like getting your legs broken if you end up deep in the hole, or having a certain amount of time ( till midnight ) to pay up before they come looking for you (think the end of the movie Training Day when Denzel Washington meets his end at the hands of the Russians ). - Bring back the RPG elements that made San Andreas Special, and which seperated it from the other GTA's as the Best. And also one of the best gaming experiences to be had on the PS2. Like being able to change the look of your character again: Haircut, Tatoos, Clothing ( with more choice ), Gold/Silver/Platinum rolexs, Gold/Platinum chains/rings with diamonds, Piercings, Plastic Surgery, Exercise/Food System ( Fat/Skinny/Muscle like San Andreas ) take away the Driving/Flying skills and keep the leveling up of weapon skills up to Master/Gangsta ( so it makes the game more difficult at first but rewards you the more you play the game ). - Revamp the Notoriety System so that police won't automatically know exactly where you are every time you commit a crime. And make the Police tougher by giving them Mace and Tasers for lower wanted levels ( when they are still trying to incapacitate you and not kill you ). And SWAT/NOOSE? tougher by introducing Riotshields, Flash/Stun Grenades, Teargas ( and maybe Attack Dogs ). And Ofcourse reintroduce the Army for 6 Stars ( so much fun having Airial Dogfights with Enemy Fighters in San Andreas ), make them a bigger challenge than any previous game has. - More Cheats like in San Andreas for example: invincible, jetpack, infinite ammo, unlimited clip cheats ( all perfect for starting a massive amount of mayhem ), And maybe one like the riot cheat in San Andreas, except in this game make it like a Zombie Apocalypse where all the pedestrians turn into a Horde of Zombies and start attacking the player, the sky also becomes dark with lightning and no more cars appear on the road. Maybe different types of Zombies like Faster ones, ones with Ranged Attacks, Animal Zombies ( they could make this into a multiplayer co-op mode ). It could be fun with all the different weapons ( like Left 4 Dead ), and with Homies/Friends in Vehicles/On Foot massacreing the Undead. But so it doesn't get boring ( too easy ), as time progresses they get increasingly stronger until eventually it takes a 100 rounds from the mini-gun strait to the head to take them down. - Better Sound Design, a more Metallic/Mechanical Sound for the Guns to make them sound more Meaty and Realistic. Make differences in Sports Car/Muscle Car Engine Sounds from the regular cars ( so that they actually sound like they have some power), especially when they're upgraded ( It wouldn't hurt if the NPC's reacted to the sound like they were startled/scared when you Rev your Engine or do a Burnout. In fact bring back the NPC's reaction to how you dress as well, the Negative/Positive Comments were good fun back in SA ). Hopefully we don't have to wait for a Next Gen GTA for at least some of these features to be introduced. - The things I want to return from GTAlV: The beautiful Graphics ( but even better in the Lighter/Brighter California sun ), the more Realistic Driving Mechanics/Physics ( once mastered are really rewarding ), the Shooting/Cover Mechanics ( which were pretty tight and responsive, but could be improved ). -The things I want to change from GTAlV: The heavy sluggish on foot control of the protaganist ( Niko was SOO BLOODY SLOW!, I want a character with much better agility to get around this new world they're creating ), The Concentration on Friend Activities being a main gameplay feature incorporated into the story ( no offense but if I don't want to go bowling with my friends in real life, why then would I want to do it in a videogame). I think friends overall were pretty lackluster and not impemented very well. The Friends personalities were entertaining and everything, and the character development was good, but the mini games of the activities got old very fast. And with the constant pestering every 5 minutes ( I was going to KILL Roman if he rang Niko to go bowling again). Spending so much time and effort on these ( boring ) activities for crappy rewards ( free taxi rides when I can just steal a car/free helicopter rides when I can just steal a helicopter/cheap crappy guns out the back of a car, which are then obsolete once you have more money and there are better weapons available). Hopfully the next game has at least a little bit of customization and no mandatory friend activities. Then along with a solid story and new mechanics, plus a bigger more detailed world. This could be one of the best games of this generation and for some time to come.................................... ( at least until Watch Dogs comes out ) PS: Sorry for so much text.
