If someone says to get back on topic, you're off topic, and a mod is just going to come in and tell you to get back on topic anyway. So, if someone tells you to get back on topic, mod or not, do it. Stay on topic.

You know, Saints Row still does that. It might not be as good but it's damn fun. This is Rockstar's direction now. Get used to it. I can't believe people are complaining about petty shit. It's Grand Theft Auto, not Grand Gang Bangers At The Gym.

That's where they can "cheat" by including vertical area as map area. Sort of like square footage of buildings. The footprint is a size but the floor area is that times the amount of floors. That's the way I see it. So what if we can't travel 100 miles across the map in 2 dimensions. The third dimension will add plenty of map to explore. and to be honest, in the new screens, i see plenty of roaming area, not including vertical space as you've alluded to... this map is so big that even adding a few coral reefs and snow caps won't even be noticed by most... they'll be too busy trying to do a barrel roll in between 2 trees while bigfoot waves his fist at you... @QD - yea, i don't want to see the ocean eat up a lot of the space either.. there shouldn't be much out there, unless we can head to HAWAII!!! !11!!!1!!!

R* said that they are only making one large city, and they are making it as big as they can, as close to scale as they can, of course it wont be exact, it will be scaled down. obviously there will be some small rural towns across the countryside, but thats it. this map is massive, and arguing about it like 12 year olds, is not gonna make it smaller or bigger. it is what it is. except it.

I hope they keep the GTA tradition alive and make a "tour guide" type manual with FULL credit's in the back (something max payne 3 didnt have, which was dissapointing for me) and have it come with a map of course. Honestly if Rockstar doesn't give us a map and a tour guide manual I will be deeply upset. The reason I bring this up is because L.A. Noire didn't have a map and Max Payne 3 didn't have credit's in the back. i hope Rockstar isn't slipping on thier manual design.... One of the only publisher's that still does a manual...

Not so fast, dipshit. In case you didn't notice, I only estimated the size of the urban center of the city. Look again - http://i.imgur.com/TXRDf.jpg I didn't even include the observatory because it's on a mountain. The city area still appears the size I estimated it to be. There's just going to be lots and lots of suburban sprawl in the hills and outer areas. You're as dumb as that bastard above. You're like the retard twins. Did you really think I was estimating the size of the entire map? It even says "Los Santos city area". Dude. We were estimating the size of the city in order to show that the city was too small and therefore miltiple cities had to be in the game. We were wrong. Fail. Ect.

I don't think they'll do that for some reason. I thought about that, it obviously crossed my mind. But that's too predictable. Fair enough, they want to build a good ground for all the characters, but why wait a whole year to reveal a second character in a similar way to the first trailer? I think they know that most of the world knows there is three protagonists by now. They've probably decided to make an explosive trailer with all three characters this time around. Something that packs a punch like the Welcome to The Jungle trailer for San Andreas. That's my guess anyway.

Better to be mad than stupid.

Cheers fella, was trying to show my workmate the article on my phone, this works much better

I'm pretty sure the second trailer is about Franklin. Don't know what gave it away, maybe the huge fucking picture of him they used as the image for the announcement of the 2nd trailer.

I think they''ll save the real customization for multiplayer really... Your character will be your avatar so to speak. Surely that's more important than customizing the looks of main characters? That's how I see it anyway.

I think the character customisation i.e. gaining weight and muscle or losing it becoming very skinny was more of a technical issue rather than an issue with having three characters. Obviously three players is a bit much to look after, fitness wise. But i think they meant that the characters meshed were so much more detailed and a lot higher poly than that of SA so being able to make the characters change weight without messing up mo-cap animation would have been a nightmare.

They made a point of saying you can fly early on. People need to use their common sense.. you're not going to fly into an invisible wall heading towards the city in Trevor's CESSNA. They're going for rooted in reality.

I dont think there will be any restrictions, i think its a part of taking the game in a new direction, there trying to make it different from the other gta's

I'd just like to point out that Bannana Pud = Fail So if Los Santos is bigger than RDR, GTAIV, and SA's maps combined, how big is the countryside exactly? I hope it's not too small. I would like for it to be as big as Los Santos.

They said it would be impossible for it to look right with all 3 characters and all the animations and clothing. It was easier to do with SA because the graphics were more forgiving. I still dont know if it was impossible. I mean, saints row you could be a skinny ass chick or a big fat guy and those extremes was a lot more than the differences between the 3 protags. Not that I give a shit about working out or getting fat.

i think this is the last remaining photo to be found from this article...

People seem to forget that multiple protagonist during gameplay is a choice... Whether or not you can stick with one character through-out the whole game is still questionable. But for all the closed-minded people wanting one protag, just play as the one you like the most.... simples.

Read it all, decided im gunna skip the game until its hits like £12-£15. its not a GTA any more by the looks of things

Am I the only one who think's playing "dynamic" music during a mission is a stupid idea?

I am Ginginho - noob as fuck. I grew up in arcades in the very early days of video gaming - think Space Invaders, Pac man, shit like that.... Moved to PC gaming (briefly cos I know shit about computers) and then to consoles. Only really played football games until I met Tommy Vercetti - now I only play R* games...... San Andreas is still my favourite, mainly because I ended up in hospital not long after I got it and spent 2 weeks self administering morphine and playing GTA - half of that time trying to Circle the Airstrip and Land (you do it while bats are attacking your plane!!!) I love this site and have followed it from the earlier GTA:SA and GTAIV ones. The humour and banter on here is awesome and there are some "special" posters - can't wait for my anal introduction - who's the lucky guy?? The one thing missing was a ginger presence so here I am - freckled and soulless Boomshanka!!

This help?

So, seeing as the first trailer depicted Michael's view of life, is it safe to asume that the next trailer will be narrated from Trevor's point of view, and the next one from Franklins'?

ask i shall receive it seems, bigger version of the cover art!

I don't know which images to use for my wallpapers? *Head Explodes*

This is fucking AMAZING! I always knew there wold be multiple protagonists, as did a few other members here. It just seemed right for some reason. I wasn't expecting to be able to switch between them at almost any time though, that's fucking genius. This game really will feel that much closer to cinema and so much more.

The drugged up psychopath, of course.

Yes. I wanted his name to be OJ Barrack Snoop Dogg Obama Smalls.

The black guy is still 'black guy' to me. What kind of black person names their kid Franklin?

I already don't like the idea of having tesnion music play during a mission. GTA was always about just having music when you were in a car and the rest were just sound's of the world...... Not liking that idea at all....

"Bigger then the worlds of red dead redemption, san andreas, and IV combined" Holy shit thats big

How long until digi issue is released??

i hope if he is in it he is a ped so i can kill him.

I imagine we'll have RLS and Julio G back for the rap station. For those of you who don't know, Julio G isn't a character R* made up, he's an actual DJ who's been working in LA for nearly 30 years. He is iconic when it comes to rap DJ's. Edit: 4000th post.

No i don't want a gameplay trailer for GTA. I want actual gameplay to be a suprise.

Ah well man. I just hunted down all the best quality images from the viewfinders, and enhanced them best i could. They look far sharper than the ones on the front end of the website anyway...

off topic, and i am wondering why we're still talking about it... if you wanna debate games & movies, head to the ET section, or rants and raves... not here in a fucking GTA co-op topic...

For me, it depends on the intro. I like to imagine what one would do IRL. Basically, if the opening FMV includes some guys holding my family hostage or whatnot, I'm not gunna go explore around the city. I'll probably get a few missions/mini games knocked out before I start exploring. And I don't plan on getting online until the story is finished.
