I would say all three protags are interesting in their own way. For instance, just comparing each of their unique abilities to one another, makes you think about the best way you can utilise each character. Michael's Slow-Motion Bullet Time ability makes me think that he will be one of the more useful character's for taking on police and gangs, and seeing how long you can survive against them before dying. Whereas Franklin's unique ability makes him less useful than the others when on foot. I guess his Slow-Motion Driving ability will be useful for races around Los Santos ( I wonder if it works for Motorbikes as well? ), and for getting away from the police rather then fighting them head on ( like the other two protags can do more easily ). Trevor's double damage and increased resistance too damage ( I wonder if this is for melee weapons and fists as well? ) will make him ideal when confronting enemies. He will probably be the best character too attack enemies head-on rather then from cover. While Franklin will probably need to utilise cover a lot more. And while Michael is using his ability to dive from cover to cover attacking, while taking little damage in return. Just the unique abilities will make playing each of the characters feel very different. Not just in missions but when your exploring the world and fighting Police/NPC's in it. *PS I wonder if each character will move at a different pace/speed, turn slower/faster, or have different weight to their controls?

Some missions where you jack cars, and other things. Storytime: Michael is sitting down in his house watching some T.V. He hears a knock at his door...he stands up and begins to walkover. He murmurs to himself "What the hell is someone doing at my door at 2 AM?" he opens the door aand Franklin is standing there with hid arms crossed holding a yellow folder packed with papers. "What the hell do you need at this hour Frank?" asks Michael,"I got something planned that will benifit all of us." Michael smiles and invites him in. They sit down at the table and start talking. "So whattaya got?" asks Michael. franklin replies, "There is a cargo train full of concept cars headed to the auto show at the convention center." "So," says Michael, "what do I care about this?" Franklin continues, "There are some pretty nice, and pretty fast cars on that train." "Okay, and?" Michael asks while pouring a drink. "If we steal those cars we can use them for personal means or OTHER means." Michael smiles. Franklin slaps the folder onto the table and opens it up. a highlighten route the train will take is on a map of Los Santos, then there are a couple pictures of cars; nice ones. They discuss the plan over the night. Later on Franklin leaves and Michael calls Trevor, "Trevor, we're gonna need a plane...a big one." Its about 10 Am the next day and you switch over to Trevor who's driving towards a military airfield. He gets to the gates and you take control. A guard walks up to the car and says "You have ID?" Trevor pulls out his wallet and shows it to the man. The guard steps back and salutes him. You drive into the base. There are soldiers and airmen walking around, driving humvees and working on planes. Trevor parks in a lot not too far from a hangar. Inside that hangar lies a great plane; the Centurion heavy lifting cargo plane. You walk into the hangar and look at the huge plane. The ramp is down, giving you an excellent window to steal it. Trevor jogs up the ramp and sees to men inspecting the plane. One sees him and walks over. "Do you have authorization to be here?" asks the man. "Would I be here if i didn't?" Trevor grins and shows him his clearance. The man steps back "Captain Phillips." and salutes him. Trevor says to the man, "Hey the Colonel wanted to talk to you guys, head down to his office, and see what he wants." the men look at him for his lack of formality. "That's an order" he says. The men walk out of the plane and Trevor walks up the stairs to the cockpit. He sits down and grabs the headset. The engines scream to life and he taxis onto the runway. A few minutes later he's in the air. Michael calls him to check in that everythings alright, of course it is. Franklin and Michael are actually on the train. They snuck in while it stopped at a station. The train hits a straght away that strechtes for about 8 miles. Trevor swoops down to the tracks, and stays over them as he aproaches the train. Michael and Franklin are inside, they blow a hole in the front of a carraige and the back of the one infront, creating a clearing for the cars. The carraige in front of the car one is a carraige primarily for cargo. They cut a ramp out with equipment in the ceiling of the carraige, but leaving it to fall onto the cargo. Trevor gets right on top of the train, still keeping the plane in the air, and lowers the ramp. Franklin drives the first car into the plane, then the second and third. Finally their done, but the police were alerted when a massive plane swooped down very low. They open fire on the plane while the two load the last car in. Michael comeruns up the ramp, but he gets shot. The bullets goes clean through his leg. He collapses and falls down. He begins to roll tothe end of the ramp, and the plane climbs into the sky. The ramp stays down as michael hangs on. Franklin runs to his aid, and helps him up. The ramp closes and they got into the cockpit. "That was too damn close, never again." says Michael while he holds his leg. Franklin wraps up the wound and the screen fades out. Mission complete.

Hey Bones, you dropped something back there ...did i? oops, they just fell out of my pocket... ---------- ----------- ...you mind picking those up for me?? thanks...

Thank you for the suggestion. We'll begin development of a watergun plus volatile chemical ammunition ASAP. Yours truly, GunSmith, weapons dev director, Rockstar North

graphics don't mean shit to me, but in this day and age, you have to have something at least presentable for a console blockbuster... plenty of indie games don't have the graphics but they have the gameplay... sadly there are those that care too much about graphics still... i personally haven't had an issue with any games graphics, except for RAGE, which looked beautiful at times but the constant texture loading really took me out of the experience... the un-modded GTAIV still looks gorgeous to me, the world is so vibrant, but it's also a part of that drab color era where most games sacrificed color for presentation and stability.. thankfully no one really does that anymore and games are more vibrant then ever...

Well in all fairness, I think that was their whole point. They wanted to start a community type project so people could help make the map as accurate as possible.. And like Ive said before, I appreciate their videos mostly because they seem to share the same excitement and enthusiasm that the GTA community has..

Definitely, I'll be so pissed off if they have parakeets instead of macaws! Would completely ruin it.

If I can't store condoms and drug paraphernalia in my glove compartment and a functioning Los Santos metro map in my visors, I will be very angry.

Never underestimate the world's stupidity. Or the need to fill their lives with unimportant shit. Now if you'll excuse me, I have Beanie Babies to buy.

Well that's the first of enb I've seen in consoles. I never said it wasn't possible though, just limited. R* have made 'V look very nice for current gen, and im not doubtful it will play very nice too. On the subject of graphics while we're here, I'd like to add one thing. As much graphics help present a game, it is only presentation. The core of the game is what makes a game what it is, and that's simply 'fun'. Look back at the classics; chess, backgammon etc. Those vintage games have almost no presentation but are still fun.

it apparently has been expunged...

No they didn't.

Scarface: The World Is Yours implemented something similar. They had a massive list of songs to pick from that could be played at any time.

Didn't Tony Montana own a tiger? If I'm expected to be the crime kingpin of Los Santos, I jolly well better be able to buy a goddamn tiger.

Yes. It's real, and you have the only copy left. Congratulations.

You can upload pics to the Social Club. -___-

We at R* are proud to announce that the swingset shit will make a return in GTAV, thank you for your suggestions.

R* has confirmed the Swingset shit will make a return in GTAV. ??

Honestly I think Michael will be the more interesting character. Okay yeah Trevor is a crazy person, great, but so is Michael. He covers it with a cool exterior, but I get the feeling he could snap at any moment. Just seems a bit deeper to me. I would even say Franklin is more interesting. Not only is he balancing his commitment to his gang with his desire for more, he is also walking a thin line between making it big, or turning into another Micheal. I am not saying Trevor will not be interesting, I am looking forward to playing as him too, I just think people focus to much on him being crazy.

I always did it at the worst times too, like when I am being attacked by a cougar. That would be nice. it is funny because there are actually a number of exotic bird in the wild in So-Cal. I learned thins while doing environmental surveys for my old job. rich people in LA would get themas pets and then when they were to much work they would let them go (or they would escape). California happens to be a pretty good environment for tropical birds.

Snowy season in SoCal. I apologize, but I laughed pretty hard.

Or "The Ballad of Lesbian Lola"

No shit. But for people that are not familiar with LA that's a good description of where it is. It's a lot closer to the beaches than Hollywood anyway.

Does that mean we can throw dildos at his face?

Tried some NY pizza and some traditional italian pizza Two stalls just opened up at a local marketplace near me and business is fierce, I heard some Italian guy who could just barely speak a lick of English shit talking " asjklhdkasj guy know NATHING about peetzuh", so naturally I was curious and decided to try out both. Firstly, both WERE traditional places. Server @ Italian place had a thick, thick accent and the chef couldn't speak a single bit of english, server talked to me about his upbringing back in Italy and I believed it. New York place had a guy who really had a evident Jersey accent (think thick guido accent, without him being a guido). Firstly, ingredients at the italian place were much better. cheese was much richer and meat was very flavour-ful? also I saw them make it and they didn't use that really shit garlic spray like the NY place did. Pizza base was also thinner which I think I preferred, a thick base isn't everything. The NY place was thicker and the ingredients didn't taste as rich. Italian place was slightly more expensive but the taste was 10 billion times better. As for why an Italian and an American would move here to open businesses is beyond me, I doubt the money is rolling in, especially when generic pizza people are used to can be had from any of the 9 billion asian stalls and is cheaper.

You might want to read back a little bit.

Ooh, a child support minigame. Ballance the risk of not paying your child support and your desire to blow coke off a whore's ass. Im game.

I would use a horse... how are they adding to many vehicles? more vehicles = gooooood

After further analysis, I have a theory, shown by a sequence of pictures, of how Michael's story will play out. Basically, Michael gets fed up and kills his whole family.

Something cool would be if some peds follow us from across the street with the intention of robing us. picture this Trevor walking through downtown Los Santos at night only about 4 cars driving at a time, you notice a man across the street hood over head he crosses the street, walking faster be hind you he catches up pulls a knife and says "The cash now or im going to fillet you" trevor turns around "DO YOU KNOW WHO THE FUCK I AM" the attacker takes a step back Trevor pulls out a big ole friggin hand cannon "NOW IM ROBBIN YOU BUT I DON'T WANT MONEY I WANT YOUR FINGERS" the robber starts sweating and says nervously "what do you mean" " GET YOU LITTLE KNIFE AND REMOVE YOUR DIGITS" the robber now crying says "no man you're fuckin crazy" trevor responds "you are correct don't want to remove you finger. OK I'L DO IT FOR YA" Trevor shoots out his knee caps and proceeds to remove the mans fingers. "NOW YOU KNOW NOT TO FUCK WITH TREVOR PHILIPS" as he lights the robber on fire he says "i should have brought some fucking marsh mellows".

I wonder if bullets will be able to penetrate walls. That'd be a fun way to crash a house party.

Took my Son to Legoland to celebrate his fifth Birthday. My son always pulls troll faces when there's a camera about. I always curtsy like a lady

Giants you say? 3-2 A sensational season from the Nottingham Panthers, winning the coveted treble: Elite league, challenge cup and the play-offs. If only Nottingham Forest won cups and leagues I'm new to the sport but I am desperate to get more involved. It's entertaining, cheaper than football, you can drink on the stands . and it'll be nice following a successful team. I will be attending my first game next season!

There's a story idea. Blend elements of both periods. Have barbarians running through the Malibu Club, stabbing people with broadswords.

Just like real Apple Overpriced, simple, etc.

Perhaps angry balls..

If the concept of dynamic pedestrians is carried that far, I'm gonna feel really bad about plowing through crowds in a pickup truck.

Well they said that the peds got on buses and worked so it sound like maybe they took the path of ULTRAREALISIM this time around. But what would impress me is; like you see a ped right, so you follow him to see this so called "life" they have... He comes out the doors of the IAA tower and begins walking down the sidewalk toward a car garage. He takes out his phone dials something and puts it up to his ear; "hi hon just got off of work, ah it was crazy some guy apparently was repelling down the side of the building, broke through a window, took some dude, jumped out and escaped with the other guy on a parachute! I know it's crazy right? Well do you need anything from the store? Okay I'll get em...bye!" he hangs up just as he gets into his feltzer. You grab a car just across the way and follow him in your car. He drives up infront of a grocery store and gets out. A few minutes later he comes out with a shopping cart full of bags...he pushes the cart over to his car, pops the trunk and starts loading the groceries in. After he's finished he closes the trunk and gets in. He backs up and hits the shopping cart. He gets out looks at the scratch on the back and say,"Ahhh SHIT!" he kicks the cart into the middle of the parking lot, gets back in his car and drives away. You follow him to his home in the suburbs. He backs his car into the driveway and gets out infront of a nice two story house. He walks up to the door and opens it, and you hear "OH MY GOD! Brianne BRIANNE?!!! FUCK NOOO! " then a second or two passes...POW! Dogs start barking and car alarms go off. The cops pull up and close off the scene. Later paramedics pull up and take the body on a strecher out of the house and into the ambulance. A crowd that has gathered becomes hushed as the ambulance drives off. You go home and save the game when you come back police tape is still around the house. You do a few missions and switch characters, you turn on a tv and Weasel news is on talking about a murder and suicide. Your jaw then drops.

Bring back the garage for storing your vehicles, but maybe 1 or 2 docks at a safehouse to be able to store boats, Ive always wanted a Yaght in real life. Clothes definately needs improvement. Armanti suits like in vice city, along those lines but also the ability to choose colors and designs. The ability to buy anyproperty, residential or commerce. With buying commerce it makes you a profit everyday, add up your total commerces you have in one day, and instead of having to go to that particular location just go to your mailbox and theres your checks. How about instead of being a hit man for a mob boss, your the mob boss, and your looking for hit men. Just select the amount of money you to pay them, just note the more you pay the more your hitmen will respect you and the better chance you have of getting away with any particular crime.

I THINK THEY NEED SOMETHING WITH ROCK, A CHANNEL WITH SUCH BANDS AS QUEEN, LED ZEPPLIN, BILLY IDOL, ETC...

Cats on the walls cats on the walls lol parrots would be sweeeeeet. Horses for transportation. Charizard for flight. Maybe sharks and dolphins. Birds flying about a beach is never a beach without the rabid Seagull packs....
