Yeah, but. Lets say that next gen was supposed to be launched fall 2012. Rockstar announces first trailer for gta 5 fall 2011 a year before release, showing of some next gen graphicallity. Sony and m$ decided to push back the release dates for whatever reason (if one decides delay, other one might follow suite) till fall 2013. ttwo decides they dont want to wait for gta 5 on next gen, so they go ahead and release it for current gen consoles. They could have been developing a next gen and current gen title simultaneously like ea did for nfs and madden. Maybe gta 5 will get a next gen refresher in a goty edition? Wot u fiNk?

I wouldn't mind if they kept the driving mechanics the same, I got pretty good at moving fast while avoiding cars at the same time. What I do want them to change is the AI driving. No more random lane changing please. I've even seen two cars right next to each other try to get into the other's lane. Chaos I tell you.

Game Developers get a Alpha or Beta console to design games for, that's why when a game system launches none of the games grab the consoles full potential until later in the cycle since they're still figuring out the console.

Or we'll just lock this now since there's no need for it.

Snowball war.

Go to a busy place like gtaforums. Now, ignore all the moronic noob posts, count only the good ones. Do it that way, and you'll see that they're not even half as active as we are.

that's because a lot of those members don't bother to come back after signing up... it's not like we care anyways, we don't want a bunch of people spamming this place anyways... we like being a close-knit group of intellectual superiors... if you want to hang out somewhere where there's 100's of active members posting every single minute, then join gtaforums... go ahead and post, i doubt you'll get the attention there that you just got here posting this thread... we are active though... there's constantly new posts in the GTA5 section, the rest of the board is for us intellects..

It comes out tomorrow. Don't tell anyone. In actuality, I have no reason or excuse for knowing as much as I do about the game industry.

well no matter.still like koalas.appreciate the lesson(im not 1 of those people that finds not learning''cool''

i think that if you mash Liberty city together, and get rid of the water inbewteen the islands, I think thats the basic size of Los santos. i know the forest wll be pretty big, but around LA there is more of a presence of desert. so i think the desert region will be the largest. The prison will be pretty large also, but i dont expect it to be a major part of the map. I do expect for a desert airstrip, like GTA SA, and i think that grapeseed will be up in the foothils of the moutains and the forest, possibly in a U shaped valley with the mountains surrounding it. the maps ive seen are also very linear.IMO the map will be spread out up and down, but also to the east of the city. The desert ( like ive stated above) is a major part of So-cal's geography, not as much as the mountains above. Some large Salt Flats would be good as well. Since the real L.A. has something like that nearby, and because I would like a large, flat and open space to test out the performance and top speeds of some of the better cars.

Hahaa dinklebeeerg.

I saw the trailers for GTA IV and the graphics look the same as the actual game but Trailer 2 had some better looking graphics. But how come GTA V's Trailer 2 didn't match or be better than Trailer 1's graphics when T2 came out a year later. IMO I don't see why they can't show graphical improvements with the story like Craze said. Hope they do some major improvements by launch date

Making everything look pretty and shiny is pretty much the last stage of development, same as films, that and the testing. Trailer 1 probably looks better because at that stage they wanted to show us a little of the potential the game could look graphically, trailer 2 was made in mid-development/later on, and wanted to show more about the game rather than show off graphically. Thats my opinion anyway.

i hope they change the AI driving. it always pissed me off when i would be speeding past all these cars on the bridge in gta 4 and all of a sudden one car merges and makes me spin out and crash.

If there are nightclubs in V, there should be more minigames than GTA TBoGT, IMO.

And if there is a race going on say on a track, You can go watch, place bets, that sorta thing, but have an invisible barrier around the track for obvious reasons. Same goes for a death match. Corner off an area of the Free mode map with an invisible wall and place your bets on who you think will prevail
