    I'll just leave this here ~ http://www.ign.com/a...ompared-by-devs Extract from Article ~ "A number of "high-level game development sources" have claimed the PlayStation 4 is around 50 percent faster than the Xbox One, with the difference being both "significant" and "obvious". [ END QUOTE ] From Gamespot as well ~ http://au.gamespot.c...-report-6414431 Extract 1 ~ "Anonymous development sources say PlayStation 4 is up to 50 percent faster than the Xbox One in certain key areas." Extract 2 ~ "Xbox One is weaker and it's a pain to use its ESRAM,” added another developer." All information comes from an "Edge Online" Article ~ http://www.edge-onli...ne-performance/ Extract ~ "Our contacts have told us that memory reads on PS4 are 40-50 per cent quicker than Xbox One, and its ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) is around 50 per cent faster. One basic example we were given suggested that without optimisation for either console, a platform-agnostic development build can run at around 30FPS in 1920×1080 on PS4, but it’ll run at “20-something” FPS in 1600×900 on Xbox One." Happy Days!

    Bit late, but I've taken a week off work to play the game. I won't be going to the midnight release, instead I'll get a full 8-10 hours of sleep, waking up fresh to be at EB Games when it opens at 8 A.M. Then I'll go home and play GTA V for the next 24 hours or something...

    Bigger Than World Peace "During a 3 hour concert the other night, 30 minutes of which were spent performing and the other 2 and a half hours spent preaching about how he’s the most important American icon of our time – rapper MC Clip told the audience that he is now going to stop the war, whatever that means. “In the long run, I’ll have a greater effect on humanity. I’m a singer, producer, intellectual, fashion designer, philosopher, poet, billionaire… I’m taking so many things to a different level simultaneously. Forget triple threat or quadruple threat. They ain’t invented a big enough ‘ruple’ for me yet. I don’t compete against other people. It’s pointless. I compete against myself, and when I compete against myself, everyone wins. The only regret I have is that I wasn't the first man on Earth because imagine how much further along the human race would be. We’d be running the universe by now instead of still trying to get a hotel built on the moon. I’m living proof that you don’t need to read no books to be a genius. I blog in all CAPS, baby!” Is MC Clip the most odious, deluded megalomaniac who ever lived? Should we really be glorifying his messages of narcissism, misogyny and materialism to impressionable young teenagers just to sell magazines? Can I still in my heart of hearts call myself a journalist? So many questions, and only West Coast Classics has the answers. Stay tuned!" This guy has to be be based on Kanye West ...

    I watched one of the vids and... SPOILER WARNING!

    I could see an extension of the map to a San Diego-like city. But I just don't see it being that much different from what we already have with GTA V's map. If Rockstar is going to go to the trouble of adding something new to GTA Online's map, it would have to justify it's existence by being significantly different from Los Santos. So I could see a revamped Liberty City because ~ 1) - They already have a map as a base from which to create additional content ( with GTA lV's HD Map ), and... 2) - Liberty City is significantly different from Los Santos to warrant it's addition to GTAO I could also see San Fierro or Las Venturas being added in the future as well. That's if one of them doesn't get their own game, especially Las Veturas, which would be perfect with the new heist mechanics. This is because they are both significantly different from Los Santos. But I couldn't see a major expansion like this happening any time soon ( maybe in 2 years? ). And as for the next full-blown GTA Game, I can definitely see Rockstar taking us back to Vice City. Except that this time it will probably be set in the present, so it can fit into one singular online world alongside Gta lV & V's maps on Next Gen Consoles and PC ( probably with countryside and towns inbetween ).

    Like Dup said, the Official GTA V Map will be two sided, with Los Santos County on one side and Blaine County on the other. An official Map is unlikely to have hidden content/ Information pointed out, that's what a strategy guide is for ( like the Brady Guide Map ). But like I said in an earlier post, Brady Guides are famous for being full of inaccurate information and not being very in-depth.

    Yeah I was hoping for an LAV or something ~ Well, at least there will still be MBT's ~ And I'm sure that all of the vehicles will look great when we finally get hands-on with the game. Plus I wonder if the Military Vehicles are customizable in some way? Like putting additional armour onto a tank ( like Reactive armour ) or changing it's Camo Paintjob, or upgrading the weapons of the Attack Helicopters & Fighter Jets ( with better missiles, or flares/ electronic countermeasures to deal with enemy missiles ).
  11. BlackSox9
    Holy Shit!!! Why did I have to reach my like quota for the day!!! +1's Everywhere..... Look at the customization, and the military vehicles, and all the great performance vehicles, and the, and the... This game is going to be AWESOME!!!
  12. BlackSox9
    Well I was answering "Cara8185's" post with some information that I found ( because I was curious about where the location was as well ). And a couple of people have looked at my post, so it's not really stupid at all ( but I probably should of omitted the Story Spoilers ). Plus it could all be bullshit rumours for all I know.
  13. BlackSox9
    Don't tell me I didn't warn you... I'll EDIT out the so no one else accidentally reads it.
  14. BlackSox9
    O.K. I found a MASSIVE SPOILER relating to this. ( This is from a third party source, so I would take the information with a grain of salt/ this guy says that the info is from the Leaked PS3 Audio Files for GTA V ) So don't click on the spoiler tags, if you don't want spoiler's relating to... Here is a spoiler telling you about... And here is the Spoiler ~
  15. BlackSox9
    Yeah Dup already posted a Gif of it zooming in on Michael a couple of pages back. Good to see the other protags but.

    I don't know if anyone else has seen this, but here is GTA V's map ( with some additional features pointed out ) from Forbes Magazine Online ( who got it from Reddit ) ~ http://www.forbes.co...-5s-los-santos/

    @Nathan. Great idea. @SpittyTheDude. It could be a nice change of scenery, when we eventually get sick of GTA V's map ( in 1-2 years time ). All of a sudden dark and rainy Liberty City will be the one feeling fresh. Plus the new weather system will make LC feel more atmospheric. But I agree, Las Venturas would be great as well...................*imagines the great heists that could be pulled in the massive casinos*...

    I think a revamped Liberty City could be good. Here's a list of things Rockstar could add to Liberty City to make it more interesting in GTA Online ~ - Add some countryside to the west of Alderney ( forests/ hills/ rivers etc ) - Add new animals. Like rats, racoons and other pests into Liberty City itself, plus also some domestic animals like dogs and cats. Add bears and wolves into the new wilderness area in Alderney. - Add new vehicles that only exist in Liberty City - Add lots of new Banks and places which can be heisted ( there is a lot of potential here/ because of Liberty City's large urban area ) - Add new activities like Gang Wars/ Hideouts with; Jamaican Gangs, Hispanic Gangs, Triads, Latin Kings, Blood Gangs ( GTA's equivalent ). Or have the Five GTA Mafia Families have compounds that you can assault as a crew. - Add a bunch of Liberty City Customs Shops ( with new customization options ) - Add heaps of Safehouses. There are tons of buildings in Algonquin so there could be plenty of apartment and penthouse options, and Alderney and the other boroughs could have multi-level houses and mansions. - Add new businesses and buildings. Like marinas, 1-2 more airports in Alderney's new countryside. An 18 hole golf course in Alderney, and add a new sport, like basketball which you can play in North Algonquin and Broker/ Bohan. And an arcade filled with old-school arcade games. Plus a big Movie Theatre ( just like in Los Santos ). Etc, Etc. - Make a new underwater environment for the River's and Ocean surrounding Liberty City. But make the water murkier, and filled with shopping trolleys, burnt out cars, rubbish, and dead bodies with concrete on their feet. And further along the coast of Alderney, maybe they could add some coral reefs and shipwrecks. Also there should be bigger sharks that enjoy the cold water ( like Great Whites or something ). And maybe a fishing mini game, or even a fishing trawler job ( going after Lobster/ Tuna further out in the ocean ). - Add a major Sewer System underneath Liberty City that can be accessed from the Sub-way Tunnels or different hidden parts of the map. And put crazy/ violent homeless NPC's down there, and maybe a Satanic Cult ( which makes human sacrifices ). Plus put a massive Alligator or Ratman in one of the deepest parts of the Sewer as a sort of Urban Myth Easter Egg. - Add new Clothing Stores, Tattoo parlours, Barbers ( with new options ) - Add different Martial Arts Dojos and Boxing/ Kick Boxing Gyms around the city ( so you can improve/ change your hand-to-hand combat style ) - Different Channels and shows for TV - Plenty of good songs for Liberty City's Radio Stations - Different Comedy & Entertainment Clubs - Re-open the Ammunation Stores. But also have the smaller weapon-dealers that can give you some unique/ interesting weapons that Ammunation can't. - Add Casinos and other gambling establishments ( although this would be better suited to Las Venturas ) - Introduce a Drug-Dealing Meta Game & Economy, that all players can get involved in. Drugs would be tradeable with other players via a marketplace accessible from the Dark Web on the in-game internet ( only available once you have reached "Drug Lord" Status or something ). And with Drug Deals that are made in person, you can rip-off other players and steal their product, and can intercept their drug shipments as they come into Liberty City by boat, car or plane ( and then take it back to your warehouse/ so you can store it until you're ready to sell it ). Just having a few of these things could make Liberty City feel a lot fresher and interesting. Also I agree with San Fierro and Las Venturas being good candidates for GTA Online. Who knows what great stuff Rockstar could put into those maps... *PS: Sorry for so much text.

    Remember that this map is from a Strategy Guide, so everything should be shown on this map. UNLESS... There's another map in the Strategy Guide ( showing hidden content/ like islands off the coast ). Or the map doesn't show everything ( which would be weird because a Strategy Guide Map is supposed to point out every point of interest ). But these Brady Guides are famous for being inaccurate and not very in-depth as well...
