Not sure if this was posted here already but a portuguese retailer where I usually buy my games just set the game release for March 29th.

Pretty much all retailers have been putting up some kind of date, I wouldn't take it too seriously, just a placeholder.

I'd just wait until RockStar confirm the date.

2nd retailer, this time Amazon, has a place holder for GTA V on PC.

Also, 1600 MS points from Microsoft Store for pre-orders on GTA V.

Damn, still no word on a Collector's/Limited Edition?

Nope and I don't think we will get one.

 

[E28]

Shame, I'd gladly throw £80 or so at one...

I remember GTA IV's was announced maybe close to a year before the game's actual release, but I'm going to continue holding out hope for one.

 

[Samus]

I don't know why they wouldn't do one, it's easy money.

I wonder what's on TV. Maybe Republican Space Rangers or I'm Rich will make a comeback, lol.

Or the history of San Andreas and Los Santos.

 

[Spacegoat]

I wonder what's going to be on the radio in V? Hopefully something with Lazlow. It just wouldn't be the same without him.

 

[JAHHAJ]

Hopefully radio Los santos will make a return.

 

[Slash]

Hopefully radio Los santos will make a return.

Dear god I hope not. lol. Just kidding. I don't like that music but it still made it feel like the '90s.

Oh you know Lazlow will return. Hopefully WCTR will return or something like that.

Little to no info at all about GTA5. As most of us know, no news is usually not good news when it comes to games. Usually gameplay videos are posted for a major game at least 5-6 months before it comes out. The only way GTA5 would be released by the end of March is if they started releasing gameplay videos this week or next week. Otherwise I just dont see March or April 2013 happening. They are right on the borderline of pushing it to the next console. Hopefully its released on this gen console. I just want them to take their time and make it as bug free as possible. Anyone think it could get pushed to the next console?

They already confirmed it's coming to Xbox 360 and PS3.

Thing is, I don't believe there were any gameplay videos for IV, not until much much closer to the release than we are from V's (scheduled) release.

 

[Samus]

Exactly. R* don't work like other devs, you won't see a splurge of videos before release.

I'm anxious to see the boxart in the next week or so. I seriously hope they don't mess it up. I'm sure they won't though.

I'm pretty sure it'll be like every other GTA box art.

 

[Slash]

Well yeah but I didn't like how much detail GTA IV's had. I liked the more basic pictures with less detail. Like the faces had too much detail to something. I liked it more cartoonish I guess. That and I didn't like the more "oil painted" style. See here.

[E28]

I liked the higher detail boxart. It matched the improvement in graphics- higher detail boxart for a higher detailed game.

 

[Slash]

While yes that works, I just thought it took something away from the series. Everything up to that point was kind of cartoonish and I liked it that way, I felt it went with the series better. Just a little nitch I guess.

 

[Samus]

It matched the change in the game style though, with GTA IV they went serious and realistic, not silly and fun like the old games. Since it appears GTA V is sticking with that idea for the most part I imagine the art will follow suit.

Personally I don't really care, it's just box art.

 

[Slash]

See that is what made GTA fun. The sillyness.



Here's a couple things to think about that I think would really liven up the game.


~ More AI airplanes. No more being alone in the sky, along with mid-flight crashes and AI parashooting.
~ Dog fights. End of discussion.
~ Really long story that leads up to each of the 6 heists.
~ Destructible environments from missile strikes and plane attacks. Who doesn't want houses to get mowed down if you lose control of your plane?
~ Police also have submarines and scuba gear....fights against the law don't end when you dive under water.
~ Shipwrecks, caves, treasure chests etc underwater


Anything else?

 

[Samus]

I know, I prefer that as well, nothing better than steaming up the main road of the second island in Vice City in a tank with the turret facing backwards for extra thrust. But I'm just saying why they went with that style on the box art.

I understand that. I just felt, while yes, GTA IV's story was excellent, that part of GTA died with IV and I'm really hoping it will return with GTA V.

 

[Samus]

Well from what we've seen I don't think we will, it seems like a continuation of GTA IV in terms of realism, just including some of the sillyness that came in EFLC and planes of course.

One thing I hope doesn't return but I'm sure it will. Hidden collectibles/pigeons. I never get the point of them in the game (Or any other for that matter) because nobody is EVER going to find them all without a guide, making it pointless anyway. It's just a grind.

 

[Slash]

Yeah I never got the point of them but I never did mind them being there. Gave me something to do if I got bored.
