I've pinpointed the multiplayer pad/safehouse on the map. After seeing all the satellite views and the size of the roads, and buildings, we must come to an agreement that LS is a lot bigger than a lot of people thought. Some of us have been saying for ages, that it's going to be a lot bigger when you're down inside it than it does from a hill where everything looks micro...

I wanna ride a bike off that mountain ledge in the gameplay trailer

You meant to say too smart, genius.

Trevor would probably just beat the shit out of his yoga instructor to calm his nerves

Guy in the front is obviously Michael, the other two are other people you can hire for the heist. Or the second guy is a well-disguised Trevor. I can't tell because you posted an image for ants and I can't be bothered to check the video again.

Last one for the night... This isn't perfectly aligned but it's close and it does give some idea of the scale of the map. Just a mashup of my earlier post along with Fizog's composite of the blueprint map glimpses.

Yes. Someone can. ...and that someone is me. This was a pain in the ass, btw. The entire thing has been rotated 90 degrees to put north at the top, since that should help us get our bearings. For whatever reason, the map as shown in-game has north at the left of the screen, east at the top, etc. This is based on the north marker on the radar map during Trevor's cop chase scene - he starts out travelling on a very straight road from bottom to top on the radar, which turns out to be west to east. I seem to remember someone saying the rolled-up map from the Special Edition promo was also rotated. Could be that the map is actually longer from north to south, so R* oriented it that way so it fits nice on an HD display. <shrug> For comparison, here it is as shown in-game. Edit: Watermarked, good call Gunny.

GTA Car Modification Car modification should come back to GTA and it should be like no other car customization ever seen in a video game. Here's a draft for an extreme, over-the-top, and expansive idea I've created. Tell me what you think. Summary Cars should have an extensive modification system by being able to buy custom parts from multiple retailers for different types of vehicles. The custom parts could be rewards from missions as well. Also you should be able to take parts from vehicles you hi Jack or buy and put them in other vehicles. Such as dropping a banshee's engine in a dukes or the exhaust system of a comet and put it in a ballista. (A) Garage(s) should be able to be purchased at some point in the game where you can store up to 5 cars while you work on them. Rims, rim sizes, tires and the ride height should all be used as aspects of modification. Custom parts and chassis should be able to be created or purchased. Everything in a vehicle should be customizable including numerous interior options such as gps's, seats, steering wheels, sound systems, and gauges. After making your vehicles you should be able to sell them for a profit based on the quality, speed, uniqueness and sex appeal of a vehicle. The Garage When you park a vehicle in the garage you own, there should be no specific way to park it and when you leave it there it stays in the same place. To interact with the car to take parts from it or add to it, all you should have to do is walk up to the desired vehicle, press the interaction button listed and a menu of options will pop up. The menu would include engine, chassis, transmission, wheels and dimensions, body, paint shop, and interior. Select one of the headers and subsections would come up with the different sections of the selected header. for example you select engine, another list would come up with options to select different parts of the engine to mod or to take the whole engine out of the vehicle and place it on the shelf*. (the shelf is the place where all purchased or acquired parts will go to, to be selected an used at a later time in different vehicles) once done modding the selected, go back to the main options menu for the selected vehicle and you should have the choice to sell the vehicle, scrap it or leave it for future use. New garages should be able to be purchased or the garage should be upgradable with better furnishings, tools, stands, lifts and options for how to store un-used vehicles so you can fit more vehicles in the garage such as lifts. The car saving system in your garage will consist of saving five vehicles to one mod garage. If you lose, blow up, abandon, impound, bury, drown, crush, smash, or whatever else you manage to do to your car while running from the 5-0, you will be able to access your saved car from the garage menu and be able to retrieve it and/or repair the car for a price. The car saving option in your garage is directly linked to your online profile (details listed in online section) Parts Cars and parts should be able to be bought at stores, fabricated in the garage (such as the sunshine auto side missions in VC), received from missions, and/or purchased at junk yards where you can take a tow truck or pick-up and take vehicles for parts or just pick up parts for the cars you have. The vehicles that show up in the junk yard should be ones off the street that you have totalled by killing the driver in an "accident". There also should be a few unique vehicles you get either from missions or the junk yard that if you restore you get and achievement or trophy. These unique vehicles could give you a large cash sum if you sell them or special benefits if you keep them. Some parts could also be ordered off the internet and/or may be illegal and if the cops catch you with them they may arrest you. Another possible idea would be that you could collect different blueprints hidden around the city where if you collected them, they would give you a list of things from different vehicles that you needed to create a mystery object. some of these mystery objects could include hood mounted machine guns, knee cappers, plated metal windows, oil slicks, wheelie bars, and spiked bumpers (overall killing machine parts). It could be a bit of fun mowing peds over with a truck that looks something out of Death Race. One extremely well hidden blueprint could be the one to making a secret vehicle that has an achievement or trophy connected to it. Dealerships Vehicles could be purchased from retailers throughout the city from the retailer the cars maker is associated to. For example you would have a déclassé dealership selling Stallions, Sabres, Etc., and at the dealerships you can purchase a new vehicle that is in the show room or on the lot or you can also order one off the dealerships website. The website will allow you to build the car with whatever options you desire and whatever color you wish to have. This option will cost extra. The date of the cars expected arrival will be placed on your organizer on your cell phone or you can have the vehicle shipped directly to your garage for an extra cost. This will place the vehicle outside of your garage and will eliminate the risk of you losing your new car driving it back to a save point. At used car dealers, you can buy what else? Used cars! This is also the place you would take a car from your garage that you wish to sell, running or not. Buying vehicles from used dealers could be a buyer beware situation where you are not quite sure what you’re going to get. Sometimes you can buy a cheap parts car that turns out to have a V-10 engine under the hood, or a nice looking Banshee that has no engine at all. During the game, an online auto trader will become available where you can find a wide arrange of vehicles to choose from. Again this is a buyer beware situation. These cars can be shipped to your garage or picked up from the owner. Online Multiplayer In Free Mode, Races and a possible new mode called Car Show (Rate My Ride) your modified cars from story mode can be loaded to your online profile by an option in the garage in story mode. Free Mode You can select from five of your saved vehicles and load them into an online free mode match, allowing you to always have your favourite cars readily available to you. If you are killed by one of your fellow gamers (odds are you will be) you can re load the very same vehicle into the game. There will be select spawn points for cars and you will only be allowed one at a time (reduce game lag) but you will be able to trade them for another one of your saved vehicles. Races Races will allow you to race against your friends and the community by entering your vehicle into a race with other vehicles of the same class as the one you have nominated. You can compete for cash or pink slips in a head to head match. Cash will be carried over to your single player game so you can spend it on whatever you desire. If either you, or your opponent win in a pink slip race, you would have the option of taking the other persons car, or a cash reward instead. Car Show Car show is a new game mode much like rate my ride where you can view, rate a purchase other peoples vehicles, but a new feature is being able to take a vehicle you are considering buying and test driving the vehicle in a blank version of the game map, giving you a chance to see if the car is right for you. This game mode gives you the chance to flaunt your best designs and where your friends are allowed to view your vehicles easily by selecting your name in the online mode options list.

^ Best map estimate I've seen so far me thinks.

dem clouds.

so there you have it...

That's when he shoot's you to death and throws your corpse outta the car and gives it a test drive himself I was actually wondering if that would be possible though.. If someone has the DLC, can others who don't still drive that car, if the owner is killed for example ?

http://www.ign.com/wikis/the-last-of-us/That%27s_All_I_got Here, this helped me get the jokes trophy.

Silva said he didn't want one but now apparently he does. I think we see the Muay Thai machine that destroyed Franklin's nose and reclaims the title.

I agree. Large amounts of money should be hard to make without investments. And all the best properties/ safehouses/ businesses/ weapons/ cars/ boats and planes should be exorbitantly expensive, so that it really feels like an achievement when you finally buy them. They should also only be unlocked towards the later stages of the game. The reason for this is, if you get all the best things in the game too quickly, then there is nothing to work towards for the rest of the game. And the game can become a little bit tedious and counter-productive if you already have all the best stuff. That doesn't mean that you should have crappy stuff for the majority of the game. But there should be a slow trickle of unlocks, with the quality steadily building up, to keep the game feel fresh and to give the player a sense of accomplishment.

It could be fun using it against your enemies as well, especially if they bring back Molotov's and the Flamethrower. I remember in GTA lV, standing in an alleyway or in a Hospital Hallway, or in one of the Train Stations, where police could only spawn in front of you and are funnelled into a narrow killzone where you could take your time picking them off 1 by 1. I would usually chuck 1 or 2 Molotov's into the hallway and watch as the cops ran into the flames, and were set ablaze, screaming while they did the dance of death and I shot them. Death by fire always had a very vicious and sadistically satisfying death animation in lV, so I hope that fire propagation is even better in GTA V.

I had an epiphany the other day that there was going to be a Basketball Mini-Game/ Activity in GTA V, similar to what we've already seen with the Tennis and Golf Activities. Only this one was exclusive to Franklin. In this epiphany it's a classic Four vs Four game, on a basketball court in a Hood type area.

It'd be good if fire was a big element of the game. I always thought that fire departments in GTA's past were just for show. I'd like to be able to light a fire and have the fire department respond, have what I burned be either permanently damaged or the damage lasts for a few in-game days, and the police chase me down if they know I lit the fire. Burning NPC's would be fun too.

I'd like street basketball as a minigame. Maybe even a batting cage.

i hear "lets go rape and mug this old lady, she'll probably get aids though. then lets go and smoke some crack and wear our pants so you can see our asshole"

I'd like to point out that the aerial views from the gameplay video are not 100% accurate to the actual map. Since the camera is just hanging over the area (not extremely high) it is susceptible to distortion from hilly/mountainous terrain and distance given the perspective. Perfect example is Michael's home. You can line up the streets in the middle of the screenshot to the blueprint map but the northern streets (which are much higher in elevation) do not line up well. Through a little experimentation I've found that the higher elevation areas appear to span farther distances with the distortion so the collage of aerial pics (more so the Michael -> Trevor pics) would not actually be that large of a distance and the map is a little smaller than you'd think just by looking at that collage. edit: Here's an info graphic:

I want to be mugged, have a house break-in, be talked down upon by the rich bi####, get into a bar fight, told to shut up in a cinema theatre, get racist comments by the rednecks and lost mc and so on.

i like the $$$ in free roam. it could be fun to buy houses with bullet proof windows and just have a small opening to put your sniper through. haha.

Shit people are actually talking about football.

You cant repo the assets of a dead man, big city cheap asshole?

would be cool just to see pedestrians walking around a mountain area, and a pack of cougars start to attack them.

*16 Got to include the person being followed. And I don't see the limit increasing. They've been doing 16 all this time. The extra numbers are just more devs that can play with us in September events.

Sorry, we already have a douche. You'll need to find another personality. Fuck you, Trathen.

DLC, no doubt. Keep in mind this is Rockstar not EA. So my guess is you unlock them if you buy the garage.

Yes. Someone can.

Xbox 360 because the controller is perfect for driving

Im loving the 4x4 truck and the rally type vw buggy

A drop in property value in areas where you've caused a lot of mayhem would be interesting. Spend an hour throwing molotovs and shooting pedestrians as Trevor, then have Michael buy any property nearby at a much lower than normal price.

With the Venice Beach Lifeguard Tower/ Headquarters pretty much being confirmed as in-game, I wonder whether there will be a Lifesaving mini game/ job included. With you rescuing drowning people by jet-ski, and/or maybe helicopter rescues for boat-crews caught in big storms and huge swells. The 'Vespucci Beach Lifeguard Tower' is located in the eastern corner of this screenshot from the Gameplay Trailer, while the real life counterpart the 'Venice Beach Lifeguard Tower' is below that ( notice the very similar shape of the Lifeguard Towers in both pictures/ and the pier in the background ) ~ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ Plus I was watching the Gameplay Trailer again and noticed that Trevor had a camouflage suit on when he started the Hunting Activity. And this made me wonder whether certain clothing could have an impact on the stealth of your character. The camouflage suit ( being different shades of green ) would obviously help in blending-in with the forest. But maybe dark or black clothing could be used to enhance your characters stealth at night. This could end up being similar to MGS3 Snake Eater's camouflage mechanic, where stealth was directly connected to a clothing's camouflage stats and it's ability to help you remain undetected. By camouflaging you from the enemy AI's line of sight. This could be possible because GTA V's cops have been described as having a cone of vision that they use to try and find you during wanted levels ( as explained in the 'Game Informer' Preview ). Could be cool if camouflage had an affect on Stealth during other missions and when free-roaming, and not just in the Hunting Activity...

Edit: I made this myself, should I have posted it somewhere else?

the chances are quite probable that there will be bigfoot and a trophy/ achievement for killing him. Probably a hidden trophy so it's more fun and a surprise when the 8 foot walking monster starts fucking attacking you out of no where.

It was confirmed a while ago that the down position is your online avatar.

Cops are cops. More aggressive, I say bring it on. Cops are aggressive pigs in real life L.A. Why should the game be any different? It all revolves around the AI anyway.

The vehicle customization reminds me of so many plays of §an Andreas. Looking forward to this for sure. Love to customize vehicles for any reason at all, if just for fun. Bullet proof tires, awesome. Roll bars? Let's take them off the mountain. Also the switching back and forth between characters during heists could prove cool as well. Possibilities there are fucking endless to say the least. ...and about 100 other things. I'll get 100% in the game if it takes me 6 months. Looks to be epic to say the least.

Dude, your football priorities are fucked up. Not all of football is about making an at large BCS bid. Like I said before, with a little luck (and Nebraska completely shitting the bed) even a 7-5 team can make the rise bowl. Jesus Christ, college football has gone from where a winning season is a reason to celebrate, to the point where 1 loss is a reason to give up. The BCS system is fucked up, and until a playoff greater than 4 teams exists, it will continue to be. I wish I say I could remember a time where people could shamelessly cheer for their team, regardless of record. Now everyone is on the Alabama/SEC bandwagon, and I am not even able to post a fucking comment about Nebraska on a Nebraska article without a a dozen "Big 10 sux" or "S-E-C" following comments. Fuck the way college football has become. Fuck bandwagoners. And fuck sports media and fuck the BCS system that leads people to believe that a single loss by their favorite team means the end of all fucking things. /rant Oh yeah, fuck OSU too, because I can.

There will be more to it than that. The heists are just the story for the three players together. There are three individual side stories to play out too. Even if it were just heists, it's nice to have some purpose to the story. As much as I enjoyed IV I didn't get into the story of Niko. He didn't seem to have purpose. These guys seem to have something to work toward.

This post is late, I just wanted to put my 2 cents in aswell. 3 things that i would have loved to see in GTAV was 1. a bike to ride, 2. scubba gear in all boats like parrachutes (spell check) and 3. wild animals in GTAV in the woods like in RDR and dogs in the city, seeing the screen shots and the gameplay trailer already i know this. There has been over things that I've been wondering also, will there be birds in the air to shoot down in GTAV like in RDR and if deers will run into the road at night infront of your car in the wooded areas of GTAV?

I didn't know cougars were part of Walton's Gang.

You sound like my ex girlfriend. I bought her $300 worth of shoes and she said something very similar.

I would like to see RC side missions (like in Vice City; Sitting in TopFun van). Also I would love it if they add the ability to take out the remote from pocket and use RC planes and helicopters anywhere not just in side missions like just for fun. For example using RC helicopter and chopping people's necks and arms with blades and cops following and shooting it until it is destroyed. It would be really funny and amusing. Cops should NOT shoot the player but the helicopter. Also flying RC planes aroung town would be cool.

I am so going on a CJ-killing spree. Every single person with CJ is getting fucked with.
