    What is Microsoft going to do about other player's mics when playing multiplayer. Some random idiot ( legend ) on Live could just yell Xbox Off into his mic, and everyone in the lobby get's their console turned off...

    The PS4 is obviously more powerful judging by comparisons of both systems specs. Which means that all Exclusives for the PS4 should look better than the X1's Exclusives. And if you go by cross-platform games, the PS4 will be held back by the Xbox One. Unless of course there are advanced graphics settings for games this generation ( like there already is for PC games right now ), this would let the PS4 add extra visual effects to a game like; better HDR ( light bloom ), distortion effects, more advanced texture filtering/ quality, better particle effects, better shader models, better shadows, tessellation etc. Hopefully with more advanced settings options like these, cross-platform games will not be held back graphically by the X1. But this could end up being expensive, and most Developers might not bother incurring extra costs just too please PS4 gamers. So therefore if everything is equal the game will be made to the standards of the more sub-par console ( I.E. The Xbox One ), limiting the potential of cross-platform games on the PS4...

    Microsoft should of focused on making a more powerful system with better specs. So that the games made on the system would have better graphics, better gameplay ( motion controls cannot deliver a more seamless experience than a proper controller can ), bigger and better realised worlds, and new ideas for the way games can be played ( and which aren't just gimmicks to sell systems to retarded casuals/ like Nintendo did for the Wii with Motion Controls ). And really who wants to sit in their living room and talk to their TV like an idiot ( and looking like a Nutcase ), when it's much easier to just press a couple of buttons...

    The Xbox One still requires the Kinect 2.0 to be turned on in order for the console to function. That means it is recording video and audio whenever you are playing Games, using Apps, watching Movies or watching TV. Also most people play games while connected to the internet, so along with game patches or system updates the information recorded could still be uploaded to Microsoft's servers. Which could then be accessed at any time by the US government using another system like PRISM, which gives them a back door entrance too any information they want about a particular person or group. This information could also be shared with other government agencies that are close too the US, like say Australia's ASIO ( Our CIA ). So no thanks, I don't need the government spying on me. I think I will be sticking with a PS4, minus the PlayStation Eye bullshit. So there you go still $100 cheaper...

    GTA V will probably end up being just like the GTA's that came before it, with no storage for weapons. So you will just purchase/ pick up a weapon, along with any ammunition for it, and it will not be lost or replaced unless you pick up/ or buy a different weapon in the same category. This system worked pretty well for all the other GTA's.

    You have to admit that PlayStation Plus is better value for money than an Xbox Live Gold Subscription. Plus what more could you ask for from Sony? Just take a look at all of the free games they've given us over the last year and a half...

    No, I don't work for Sony. I'm just trying to provide some facts. And if you can't see that PS Plus is great value for money, then you must be a fool... Here is a list of Free PS3 Games ( Euro & US PS Stores ) just going back to about June 2012 ( even though PS Plus started in 2010 ) ~ ~ Uncharted 3 ~ Red Dead Redemption ~ Batman Arkham City ~ Mass Effect 3 ~ Sleeping Dogs ~ Demon Souls ~ Dead Space 2 ~ XCOM: Enemy Unknown ~ Infamous 2 ~ Battlefield 3 ~ Saints Row: The Third ~ Deus Ex: Human Revolution ~ Hitman Absolution ~ Little Big Planet 2 ~ Saints Row 2 ~ Just Cause 2 ~ Crysis 2 ~ Vanquish ~ Resident Evil 5 ~ Lord of the Rings: War in the North ~ Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning ~ Borderlands ~ Darksiders ~ Bioshock 2 ( very underrated for a solid game ) ~ Mortal Kombat ~ Gotham City Imposters ~ Motorstorm Apocalypse ~ Bulletstorm ~ Starhawk ~ Dead or Alive 5 ~ Catherine ~ Okami HD ~ Ico & Shadow of the Colossus HD Collection ~ Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time ~ Limbo ~ Ratchet & Clank: All for One ~ Super Street Fighter lV ~ Mega Man 9 & 10 ~ Payday: The Heist ~ Lara Croft Guardian of Light ( Tomb Raider Game ) ~ Lara Croft & the Guardian of Light ( another Tomb Raider ) ~ Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine ~ Retro City Rampage ~ Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD ~ Outland ~ The Cave ~ NBA Jam On Fire Edition ~ NFL Blitz ~ Virtua Fighter 5 Plus more, but these are the best... Notable PSP/Vita Titles~ ~ Metal Gear Solid HD Collection ~ Super Stardust ~ Rayman Origins ~ Final Fantasy Tactics ~ Uncharted Golden Abyss ~ Gravity Rush ~ Wipeout 2048 ~ Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny ~ Plants Vs Zombies ~ Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus ~ Chronovolt ~ Unit 13 ~ Mortal Kombat And more, but these are some of the better games. ^^So yeah, not many good games here .... And in regards to todays news about Microsoft's Backflip on Online DRM and Used Games, it seems that a lot of people have changed their mind about the Xbox One. I can already see this next generation being just as competitive as the last one. Hopefully the PS4 will keep up with Xbox this time around and do better in the US, Britain and Australia...

    The storage would be universal for all the cars you modify with a hidden weapons compartment in the Trunk. That means if you have a weapons locker in your Safehouse, or get another vehicle and modify it with a weapons compartment, you will still have access to all the weapons that were in the original car that got destroyed/ stolen. I.E. you never lose weapons or ammo, just because your car is destroyed...

    Remember when Rockstar said in the May Previews that GTA V's level of Car Customization will be equal too, if not better than that of Midnight Club Los Angeles. Well I finally took a look into what was actually customizable in MC:LS, and it looks like GTA V's level of car customization will be unbelievably in-depth. Midnight Club: Los Angeles Car Customization ~ PERFORMANCE Exhaust system, headers, cold air intake, forced induction, engine upgrade, electronics, nitrous, clutch, gear kits, sway bars, brakes, tires, jet kits, shocks & springs. EXTERIOR/ INTERIOR Front bumpers, hoods, intercoolers, window tint, wheel materials: paint and dimensions, tires, brakes, interior color, steering wheels, gauges, front seats, rear bumpers, spoilers, tail lights, exhaust, license plates, neon, sideskirts, doors, cowls, tails, tanks. Sounds Great ...

    Says who? In all seriousness, though, I have a feeling we won't see many "mudding" vehicles, as I can't imagine Los Angeles and the surrounding area contains many opportunities to go "mudding." That type of activity is more akin to continental humid climates like those found in the Southeastern US, like parts of Texas and Louisiana, as there is a far higher, more frequent amount of rain, forming swamp and swamp like areas, where traditional "mudding" occurs. Whooh. What a mouthful. I believe we will be seeing a far more arid countryside, and I would love to have a sandrail, trophy truck, or Polaris ranger type vehicle to rip around the drier climate and make some dust. Perhaps even a dedicated rock crawler for mountainous areas? Thank you. That is all. That makes me wonder whether there will be any difference in the handling of normal Road vehicles when driving Off-Road. Or whether Off-Road Vehicles will handle differently when driven on the road. Will you be able too customise On/ Off-Road vehicle's to handle better on different surfaces? Like for instance changing the Suspension and Tires, or installing a Traction Control System for a sports car so it handles better when driving off-road.

    I don't know, I liked the idea of feeling stranded deep in the woods without an easy means of transport to hand. Trying not to look at the map and working your way back to the nearest town just by using your instincts and knowledge of the area. I felt really relieved when I came across an abandoned car or quad bike. Fair enough. I usually like doing the same thing, but in games like Red Dead Redemption or Fallout/ The Elder Scrolls, where aimlessly wandering around and exploring is a much more fun and rewarding experience. I guess that GTA V's world will end up being much more detailed and crammed full of interesting things to discover, it definitely sounds like it from the Previews talking about all the different environments, weather conditions, animals, and ambient scenarios with NPC's ( like the ATV riders and Fishermen in the Demo's ). So I would say that GTA V's Game World should be better than San Andreas's barren and bland landscapes.

    O.K I think Sony deserves a big thankyou from gamers everywhere, for forcing M$ too change their policy regarding DRM and selling used games. If it wasn't for their hard-line and committed stance to not screw gamers over with this shit. Microsoft would of been able to get away with it and release the X1 with all the restrictions they like. This is a positive reversal from M$, and will benefit all gamers no matter what system they decide too play on... Even with this good news, I will not be buying the X1 due too it still requiring the government surveillance device, otherwise known as the Kinect 2.0.

    PS Plus is great value for money, I've been using it for the past 2 years and have gotten tons of Free Games, early Betas, free Trials for all games ( 1 hour free game Demo with full access, too see how it plays before you buy it ), discounts for DLC's and games etc,etc. It's significantly better than an Xbox Live Gold Subscription. Really the only better Game service I can think of ( when it comes to value for money/ and convenience ) is probably Steam. And everyone hated that when it first came out...

    Most casuals will still be going with Microsoft, mainly because their Gamerscore and Friends List will transfer to the Xbox One. The gimmicky voice controls for TV, coupled with Blu-Ray might also be a major selling point for non-gamers ( like the Wii's Motion Control bullshit did this gen ). I can already see the major advertisements for the X1 in every game store here in OZ, with much smaller sections allocated too Sony ( or nothing at all ). So I'm guessing Microsoft will have the same success in English Speaking countries ( like the US/ Canada/ Britain/ Australia and New Zealand ) like it did with the Xbox 360, due to a better advertising campaign compared too Sony's. Hopefully I'm wrong and Sony really pushes some money into advertising to blow Microsoft out of the water.
  15. BlackSox9
    Yeah you're probably right... @GunSmith that's some funny shit.
  16. BlackSox9
    Bonnet/ Hood view is shit compared too a proper cockpit view. Imagine one for Jets and Attack Helicopters as well, that would be fricken sweet...
  17. BlackSox9
    Nah, I always use the name I have now. *Plus I don't think I could live up to Snake's Badassery...
  18. BlackSox9
    I totally forgot about character switching...
  19. BlackSox9
    Yes a Cockpit/ Dashboard view would be great. But I doubt it would be implemented into GTA V, mainly because it's a 3rd person game. Still we can hope though... It would be great if you could customise the interior as well, especially the speedometers. It would look Awesome driving around Los Santos at night in dashboard view ~ How immersive would this make GTA V when driving around...

    If there are Vigilante Missions ( and there almost certainly will be ), it would be cool if you could actually get police back-up when going after suspects and gangs. So instead of just being a sole vigilante working alone, you are temporarily made a Detective and can then ask for Uniform or SWAT Team support during the mission. These guys could then follow you and help you subdue the targets. Also as a bonus for finishing every single Vigilante mission, you could unlock an ability to call in a SWAT Team wherever you are in the world. So as soon as you make the call 2 SWAT Vans will spawn in your vicinity, in each of these vans there will be a 4 man Squad of Heavily Armed and Armoured SWAT Officers ( in each team 2 of the Officers will have 12 Gauge Shotguns/ and the other 2 will have MP5 Sub-Machine Guns or M4 Assault Rifles ). They will then follow you, and attack any enemies in your vicinity. ( They could also possibly have Riot Shields and/or an Attack Dog ) Obviously because of how powerful this ability is, you would not be able to use it in heists or missions. Plus the last vigilante missions should be a lot harder than any of the previous games. More like the final mission in San Andreas where you have to work your way up the building to get too Big Smoke. These would be hard Multi-level missions were the Suspect is a Drug-Lord or a Major Arms Dealer, and has hundreds of well-equipped Bodyguards to fight...
  21. BlackSox9
    Like Dup said, that's still unconfirmed speculation. But that would still be a great idea, having some basic IOS games on the in-game Phone. It could be like the arcade games from GTA San Andreas but with more modern/advanced titles. If they could have something like two full blown mobile games that would be pretty great. A game within a game...
  22. BlackSox9
    Yup, it was featured in an episode of VH1's The Fabulous Life of Billionaire Lumberjacks. It belonged to the guy responsible for cutting down the magical erected forest which cursed all of mankind with morning wood. I always thought it would be the first thing that Leather Face would buy if he won the lottery... LEATHERFACE LIKEY!!!
  23. BlackSox9
    One of the main gripes I had with GTA San Andreas's massive Sandbox world was that if you crash landed your plane, or totalled your car out in the countryside, it could be a very long and boring trek back to civilisation. During which you could of been doing something much better with your time, like say killing prostitutes or blowing up police helicopters. So maybe GTA V should incorporate some kind of feature into the phone where you can call a friend to deliver a car directly too you. Kind of like the feature that was in TBOGT, but for planes, boats and helicopters as well. Rockstar could make it so you can only request vehicles you have already purchased ( like say from a dealership or something ), with the super cars, super speed boats, and advanced aircraft being soo expensive that they will be impossible to buy until much later in the game. Or they could alternatively be unlocked via acquiring all hidden packages/ collectibles in certain areas of the map. Like for instance getting all sunken treasure chests in the ocean unlocks a super fast speed boat, tags in the ghetto parts of LS get's you a custom Hot Rod or Muscle car, and film reels in Hollywood gets you a expensive luxury car ( like a Rolls Royce Phantom with 'Gold Trim' ) or an advanced concept car etc,etc. Super Boat or Yacht ~ Muscle Car or Hot Rod ~ Concept car or Luxury car ~
