Rayge 689 Report post Posted November 9, 2012 Bigger than: San Andreas (13.9mi^2) RDR (roughly 20mi^2) GTA IV (roughly 8mi^2) = roughly 41.9mi^2 with room to spare Therefore I estimate the map to be roughly 47mi^2 (80km^2), which is absoultely MASSIVE if you think about the level of detail mentioned in the article.

Bronson 702 Report post Posted November 9, 2012 After reading over "the heist" mission again, im starting to like the idea of multiple protagonists. So now if I don't wan't to drive the helicopter, i can just switch to Michael and shoot the other helicopter's out of the sky..... Im starting to like this idea...

I am a casual gamer so don't really care about multiplayer or RPG aspects - just want a good story with interesting characters and that R* sense of humour.

Bronson 702 Report post Posted November 9, 2012 One thing that scares me is that they changed the driving physics...... Hoping to god the cars don't drive like they did in sleeping dogs or midnight club. i thought the car hangling was perfect in IV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Domonohomo 1 Report post Posted November 9, 2012 So i was thinking... In GTA games you unlock more parts of the map as you progress throughout the story. Like in GTA IV the first island was unlocked in the begining, then 2nd, then 3rd. Though you can try to visit those locked areas you'll be struck with a 6 star wanted level with little chance of surviving for long... Character development is a necessity as well as mission deversity. With 3 playable characters, and the merging of story lines, I doubt we'll see our protags encounter each other right off the bat. Michael lives in Rockford Hills (beverly hills), Trevor lives in Blaine Country (desert), and Franklin lives in south los santos(Idk if thats in the ghetto but his neighbor lives in a trailer so im going to assume so.) My thought was that unlike in previous gta games, the majority of the map will be unlocked at the begining of the game. Each character will have there own district to explore. So Michael can't visit Trevors district and Franklin can't visit Michaels without the result of a 6 star wanted level. This opens up tons deversity in gameplay a lot faster than in previous gta titles. Players have specific skill sets with each character. One moment you could be flying a plane in the desert with Trevor, and the the next you could be stealing cars (in a complete different setting) with Franklin. And of course over time as the encounter each other, the map opens up to everyone you play as. What do you guys think? Does it sound possible? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If your gonna open up the whole map right form the get go...... Then make it open. No restriction's for certain characters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People need to use their common sense.. you're not going to fly into an invisible wall heading towards the city in Trevor's CESSNA. They're going for rooted in reality. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuPz0r 5361 Report post Posted November 9, 2012 If the map is open from the start (which from what they said, it is) they're obviously confident that the map is big enough to be reward g to the player. If the map was Liberty City sized, this wouldn't work. They only restricted IV because of its size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
El-Duderino 19 Report post Posted November 9, 2012 Hello guys. Long time, no post. I have been watching all the threads though, but I wasn't posting because I'm that lazy. Anyway, something bugs me and I wanted to ask you, maybe you paid more attention than me. Is there a mention about the dog (or animals in general) in the magazine? I've read it briefly but I was too excited to pay attention to everything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Weazel 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2012 Still excited about the game but not as much as I was before reading GI.I'm pretty neutral regarding the 3 protag thing, it has some good stuff and some bad stuff, but we'll just have to wait and see how it turns out.I don't know about you guys but I liked how in SA and other gta's you unlocked new areas to explore as you progressed,so i'm not with the idea of evrything being accessible with the 3 characters like that. Another thing, and I'm sure it's still too early to talk about,but i just hope that the heist jobs maintain their good quality,Since in the previous gta games, the heist was this one big special mission that "sticks out" compared to the rest,I don't want it to become just another mission especially when they're talking about several of it.It also makes me believe that we'll never see those heists were you do several missions previously in preparation.I just dind't like gta 4's approach. The lack of character customization and property buying are another disappointment. But that's just about it , I'm sure there are some pretty interesting stuff to make up for this. trevor reminded me of this actor in some pics >> http://3.bp.blogspot...odd%20stashwick He looks more like this guy http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000604/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
