GTA V - General Thread

[Valkyrie427]

I really want to thrash the Futo around with the new driving physics. Very fun cars.

I also hope we can use cheats from our phone online. It's a pain when cars despawn and you wander around for 10 minutes waiting for something to pop up.

I learned from when i pre ordered GTA IV from the Rockstar warehouse that you can't always rely on mail to arrive conveniently. Had to wait 3 days after release for my copy of GTA IV to come in the mail. Going to the midnight release to get my death of my social life early.

 

[eight6er]

I just pre ordered this, it's the first game I ever pre ordered. The shop I ordered from will be open midnight so I can get it early too.

Can't wait to run people down in a variety of vehicles, hopefully while sideways. The vehicle handling was a bit disappointing in GTA 4. I think it was the first game that you couldn't do a drift, at least not the way I like to do it anyway.

This is the problem with a Tuesday release date. Send out on a Friday and people will be playing on Saturday, 3 days before release so they won't want that. Sending out on a Saturday is really a no go so Monday is the only option left and some people will sadly suffer because of that.

Surely there are too many copies to deliver in such a short space of time, mine better not be late.

Possibly, it depends on whether Royal Mail can be bothered to bring in a few extra staff. To be fair they could be a lot worse than they are. You just only hear of the times they mess up and some of them are because the postie is stealing and that isn't their fault.

 

[E28]

I'm sure it'll be fine. There are loads of copies, but it's going through the Royal Mail, and just think how many packages they handle every day.

 

[Clark]

As I postie I'll tell you that packets are through the roof nowadays but as long as they get them processed and through the mail centres they'll be delivered.

Don't panic and try not too bad mouth RM like some of you have. If you knew how many items we delivered and with the speed and accuracy we do you'd change your opinion.

If you delivered less Virgin Media junk that no one wants you'll have even greater speed and accuracy. Just less profits.

I approve of this post. Stupid Virgin Media spam.

I agree, apart from weapons/health in deathmatches/etc. That would be... well, cheating .

I really hope the AI-driver gets fixed as well, so one doesn't have to get the cars repaired after like two minutes. That would, for sure, be one of the best features Rockstar could include/improve, in my opinion.

 

[Valkyrie427]

Just preordered from GameStop and got an awesome poster! So excited!!!!

One of the things I want from this game is to be able to look backwards whilst driving in your car, and not have cars randomly spawn in front of you. It always happens, the road ahead is clear for another 50 metres, so I take the opportunity to look behind me. I let go of the button and look forward again and wham! 5 cars have spawned 2 metres in front of my front bumper where a split second ago there was diddly squat for 50 metres!

It's little things like that that really get on your nerves and ruin the game slightly IMO, I hope they can completely iron out these little glitches and niggles.

 

[Sage Ages]

Does anyone know what cars from IV are returning to V? The only cars I recognized were the Futo, the police vehicles, and the Sentinal.

Agreed. This was used in older games because when you looked behind you, the cars in front weren't tracked, so when you looked forward, it suddenly spawned them because there needs to be a certain amount of cars on the road.

Futo!

EDIT: Oops. Didn't catch your edit.

I think the Infernus, Comet, Huntley, F620, Ruiner, Feltzer and Sabre GT are recognisable cars returning from IV.

 

[GTV0819]

I think it will but I imagine it being problematic when you need to get out of a car quickly.

Lol, you have the triangle button for that one, unlike in some other wheels.

Infernus and Comet should be making a comeback too. As well as Bati Custom (well it's not a car, but still yay!).

 

[Valkyrie427]

When I heard that some of those really tiny sportbikes from TBoGT were returning in GTA V, I cringed a little. Those bikes are notorious for having poor acceleration, handling, and overall drivability.

EDIT: Bikes like the PCJ 600 and Vader aren't bad. The other tint bikes are awful.

Post keeps getting messed up for some reason. What the hell.

I always hated this, would ruin car chases.

Didn't Rockstar say that all cars from IV would return? I know for sure the Ruiner is back, that's all i really care about haha.

Well, I hated riding the bikes that sound like hairdryers, but the Bati 800/Custom and NRG-900 were certainly more than tolerable. Especially with Johnny's crazy bike skill that kept him from flying off the bike unless it was a particularly heavy head-on crash.

 

[Sage Ages]

Futo!

Edit: The Enforcer got redesigned.... I dunno what to say.

If you can upgrade your bike skill to prevent you from falling off...

*Spawns bike on tallest building in game*
*Inches off the roof so the nose of the bike is pointing down*
*Crashes into the ground face first*
"I'm good! I'm good! Lets do that again!"

Its because your actual post, "" has a capital letter. GTPlanet has an all caps preventer, so if a post consists entirely of capital letters, it automatically converts all capital letters in that post to lower case letters.

So, it makes bad grammar into lowercase bad grammar?

It makes keyboard warrior all caps rage posts less ugly. Although not having capital letters at the start of sentences sets off my inner grammar-nazi. But this is getting off topic now.

 

[Niyologist]

One more fact. Frame Rates is Constant.

 

[Slash]

I HIGHLY doubt that.

Even tough I don't like bikes in GTA IV, I loved my Pink Paggio with tiger print seats
