Multiplayer heists?

 

[Dean]

Pretty much, yes - if the mission is a heist, that is .

I can see that being a thing you do with friends almost exclusively.

Random people join in the heist just to screw you up..

 

[Crumpet]

I wonder if the multiplayer-mode will - and could - bring a co-op mode - I mean for missions, since it's available by just pressing down (correct me if I remember wrong). That could be nice, and maybe come in handy.

That would work pretty well since there are 3 characters.

 

[Slash]

This could be why R* has chosen to stay quiet on multiplayer. They are definitely hiding something.

Some cool hints aiming towards vehicle customization, in Franklin trailer, the imponte ruiner, has Deep blue HID Head lights, really well modeled, and White on silver chrome rims, none of these were featured on the car in GTA IV, And aswell other cars appear to be customized. After further inspection, alot of cars has different colors like cop car and other traffic, it varies

this needs caps, CAR CUSTOMIZATION IS CONFIRMED And it is VERY deep, (I bet they took alot of mechanics from Midnightclub LA. which is ****** awesome!

"And yet there's still more to tell... your cars can be given paint jobs, new wheels, window tints,lights, grilles, spoilers, plus you can upgrade suspensions, engine and brakes - handy if you've pinpointed, say, an Infernus that you think could be a useful getaway vehicle.

Street racing is back, as well as maybe a form of track racing!

weapon customization

"You can customise weapons too, adding laser sights, scopes, silencers, and high capacity magazines. This is particularly relevant during the prep stage: you might find one weapon is good for clearing rooms, or another better for stealth, and as you earn more cash, you can develop and improve that weapon so that - by the time you head into the key heists - you have best, most specced-up firearm available for the job.
Highly interactive environment"

Graphics Push into Next Gen Title.

The Entire MAP Can fit, GTA 4, GTA SA and Red redemption,and alot more.

Massive roster of vehicles, And i mean MASSIVE!

I wonder if "Glory Hole theme park" is going to appear in V. Forgot who or where I heard/saw it but I believe the theme park is located around the Los Santos/San Andreas area. If that's the case... I wonder what havock one can bring there. Also hoping to see a race track somewhere, maybe a knock off of Irwindale or Auto Club which are around the L.A. area. If not, the offroading freeways, and mountain roads will be enough anyways.

It seems as though Rock* have implemented the entire real world Los angeles county map, as well as another surrounding County, All i know is that the map is blowing people away, to the point they ask how is it even possible it's that monstrous. we may be talking TDU2 Hawaii size or bigger, especially with the fully interactive underwater world, fully animated country side with small towns and big town scattered, with actual wild life animated, and highly intelligent NPC's Every where you look, whether washing a car, mowing a lawn or fishing. they are everywhere, the Entire map is full of life, summary of the gameplay impression video.

Haha I wonder if Bigfoot will be hidden in the Countryside as a nod to the infamous GTA SA Bigfoot myth. Wouldn't mind having Trevor take a hunting rifle to that son-of-a-gun.

 

[Slash]

@Torque

All of that information has been psoted at least 4 times now.

 

[lintels123]

So pretty much the south and middle of the map will be Los Angeles County and the North will be part of Kern County which is where Willow Springs is located. Along with a touch of Santa Barbar to the west/north west and maybe a hint of San Bernardino and Orange County. I really hope the bring back the stadium with the ring derbies, ring racers, and dirt bike events from the gta 3 era. I sure did miss those in gta4. Though GTA 3 didn't have any, Vice City and San Andreas introduced them. Crossing my fingers for a Hot Ring Racer!

Well they were in Red Dead Undead Nightmare, and depending on how you complete one mission they do or don't go extinct. Possibility, there was a cowboy hat in LA Noir that may have been John Marstons. Redemption had a cemetery gate that resembled one found in an old west ghost towns cemetery in San Andreas. You never know!

 

[Slash]

Wouldnt be suprised to hear of bigfoot retuning as a rumor. Red Dead didn't really have it though until Undead Nightmare.

Holy 🤬 I forgot about that thing! How could I? That thing was ace at outrunning cops and was a surprisingly good drift vehicle.
Hopefully within the 135 or so days to go until release we hear something about the following:
Ammu-Nation: Is it back or will it be like GTA IV and be replaced with illegal private-owned gun stores? Confirmed to return in GTA V
Glory Hole Theme Park: Who wouldn't want to take a break from the game's story and ride a few roller coasters and win prizes from the park's various games?
The TBoGT APC: Will SWAT actually utilize it in GTA V or will it not even appear in the game?
Buying vehicles: With the now-confirmed property purchasing system, will auto-dealers be included in property? And if so, will we be able to purchase cars instead of stealing every car you want?
The Blista Compact: Such a classic vehicle, I'm surprised it wasn't in any trailer so far..are they bringing it back for V?
Save System: Is it like IV, where you take a nap while 6 in-game hours pass? Or are they going for something different?
Co-Op: With the inclusion of 3 (possibly 4 if the multiplayer character being in single player is confirmed) characters, will co-op be available for 3-4 players to tackle the game's main story?

 

[Slash]

Ammunation is bck.

 

[VYPA-SQUAD_Ace]

There are so many articles on GTA V.. I'm gonna have to try to read/translate then read them all, save all the videos, and all the good stuff.

Lol.

 

[lintels123]

Since it was in 4, I don't see why it wouldn't be. Loved how it handled in 4, pulling out of a corner with some under steer like a front wheel drive should. Can't wait to see the limits of each cars customizable options.

All cars in GTAIV will be present in GTAV, the blista has already been seen in pictures and is on the official data base, there is also a newer model blister in the form of a 2010 honda civic SI in hatch back and coupe, no sedan seen.

It was surprisingly fast too!

But the best thing about it over everything: the rear window was unbreakable! That's right! Unload your entire AK-47 into the rear window. Not one bullet will hit you or your passenger.

Are you serious? I never knew that! I'll be trying this later tonight for sure.

You can try with the hacking 12-year-olds online! Just watch out for fully-automatic RPGs.

 

[VYPA-SQUAD_Ace]

Yeah, ill be trying this in a private room with some friends later.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

Red Dead didn't really have it though until Undead Nightmare.

And the achievement you got for killing it ("Six Years in the Making") - in fact, pretty much everything associated with it - was a gag at the myth of Bigfoot's existence in the game. So I doubt it will be in GTA V; Rockstar have already had their fun.

Not sure if they are finished having their fun with big foot, since it's on the Los Santos police cruisers and all. Not saying it will be in there as an actuall npc or anything, but the fun seems to continue with the references atleast.

 

[CAMAROBOY69]

I imagine that the multiplayer will be installed from one of the discs to the player's hard drive and then whenever you try to use multiplayer it reads off the hard drive. I think this 3 player campaign thing is very risky and although I expect Rockstar to do a good job they are creating so many potential problems by doing it, hopefully they are using this delay to ensure the game works as well as it can.

Ahh yes very good point. That would indeed make the most sense to have an install for the multiplayer.
I look forward to reading this thread every single day now.

12 new screenshots ...

12 New Screenshots accompanied a new preview in the latest Game Informer Issue. The preview itself contained no major new information a part from the confirmation of the Ballas return

Thanks to deffpony for finding the high res versions

"For Grand Theft Auto V, players can customize their vehicles on a scale similar to Midnight Club: Los Angeles"

"Each character has stats that can be upgraded in categories like strength, shooting, stealth, driving, flying and lung capacity"

"Players can spend their hard earned money on luxury cars, helicopters, marinas, and even businesses"

"GTA V contains the largest skybox Rockstar has ever created for a game, giving you plenty of room to fly planes around"

"Some missions require a character to serve as a lookout, using binoculars to spot an incoming threat or the target for the heist"

"The wanted system has changed slightly in GTA V. You can still outrun the copys by staying out of their line of sight, but you can also find good hiding spots to wait them out"

"The Ballers and The Lost return to GTA V, bringing two very different gang cultures

"Rockstar has added destructibility to certain objects in the game, like these construction barriers."

"Certain boats contain scuba equipment, which allows you to search the ocean bed for shipwrecks and other points of interest"

"When the shootouts begin in missions with multiple characters, you can switch between them freely"

"With a land mass 3.5 times the size of Red Dead Redemption, the world of Grand Theft Auto V is absolutely massive"

""Before major heists, players must conduct several side missions to prep. For this mission in particular, you must pick up boilers suits, choose masks, collect the vehicles necessary for the job, and find a spot to hide the getaway car""

Is it just me, or have some of those been posted here, before?

 

[Slash]

All look new to me.

 

[Team THRT Drift]

Cuban Airlines? o.O

 

[wicken]

Anyone can read the full preview of GTA V here -> http://fur.ly/9j3b

 

[Barra333]

Those screenshots just got me excited than the three character trailers last week did.

Interesting.

A bit yes. Awesome the Ballas are coming back. Makes sense though, it definitely fights in. Wonder if the Vagos are back...probably not.

Also in the preview they mention you will be able to hire computer hackers....that is just awesome!!!
