GTA V - General Thread

[Slash]

I saw that earlier. Couple different faces in that map lol

 

[JacoJa]

It is confirmed. 97% of all buyers of GTA V will disappear mysteriously, then be found years after, hidden in some underground base while playing the game.

The next time you'll hear from me:
'Skeletal remains of 25-year-old man found in flat, still holding gaming controller.'

... And I'm all set. I have a new TV with decent internet and a headset... So I'm looking forward to bumping into some fellow GTP-ers online. 👍

I pray to every single imaginary thing that GTA5 online wouldn't suffer from the random disconnect problems of the IV. I am so pissed that I can't participate in a single multiplayer event. Screw this ****.

The main reason why GTA IV servers suck was because the servers were not "dedicated servers". Every game mode was run on the same server provider, which made servers lag and sometimes freeze.
GTA Online servers are dedicated, so it shouldn't lag nearly as much as GTA IV.

Bought a new headset on Sunday. Ready for some non stop rally racing, freeway speeding, bike riding, tennis playing, tv watching, car pimping, hooker killing, stunt jumping, crowd shooting, aerial dog fighting, blimp riding, character customizing, Mt Chilliad hiking, deep sea diving, cannabis smoking, fist fighting fun all in good old GTA fashion!

Hopefully that means the invites will arrive the first time...


Also, fan-art by a guy named Patrick Brown:

GTA IV Invites = Spam

GTA IV Invites = Spam

"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" on the guys name. Then nothing for 20 minutes, then BLAM! INVITE INVITE INVITE INVITE INVITE! Damn annoying system that was.

 

[Peasantslayer]

Look at the chrome flames... What is the purpose of those little sticks by the way? the ones behind the front wheels. I saw them on Pimp My Ride about 10 years ago.

Exactly!

They're mudflaps, I think.

They're curb feelers.

There called curb feelers. They scrape the curb at the side of the street when parking so you don't scuff your white walls.

So... whiskers for cars basically.

In a sense, yes.

 

[Crumpet]

Just thought I would let you guys know that leaked gameplay and images have surfaced.

Yeah. I guess it finally is time I exited this thread. I'm just gonna sit and wait for the game to come out now. Bye guys! See you online! If you happen to see me running around, please do not put a bullet in my head, blow me up, run me over, roadkill me with a jet BF3-style, or any other crazy way of killing a player.

Not a story spoiler but a 4 sec funny random happening

 

[McLaren]

Yeah, if you head over the GTA Forums, be prepared to be spoiled because every topic is around the screens, videos, or N. Yankton. Game looks stellar though.

Not sure why the hell the idiot decided to use Vine to film everything, though. Jesus. 👎👎

 

[chromatic9]

The vine clips are on youtube now, not going to link it though.

 

[Crumpet]

There is a 30 second, spoiler free video on YouTube of the Obey 9F driving through central Los Santos. I won't say much but the framerate is amazing.

 

[McLaren]

So, apparently someone just posted a big revealing video of the gameplay & Rockstar/YouTube axed it within' minutes along with the person who posted it.

It honestly scares me how much strong arming Rockstar actually has with this game. They appear to be tighter on leaks than the govt.
Edit*
Some new "promotional" screens by the companies in the game plus some other ones. There could be heavy spoilers in with some of the images, so click on your risk.

Appears these are from the Life Invader's updated site. Still reveals some new vehicles & customization options.

 

[Patrick]

Spoiler

Cant wait to check out the Military vehicle shop.

If you have a social club profile, log in with your details at LifeInvader & Stalk for the promotions.

Strong arm of Rockstar took it down?

Really want to see some capture card shots,

It had a copyright claim to it, & that usually means a company who owned the right requested it removed.

 

[Crumpet]

The guy who leaked the gameplay had his YouTube banned, his Vine account disabled and his Xbox Live account terminated. Rockstar aren't to be messed with it seems. They are certainly on the ball though.

 

[McLaren]

They just cleaned up the GTA Forums as well, which is where I'm assuming Rockstar got to work on cleaning up the leaks since that's where it all originated.

The Vine videos are still up the guy's account, so the past couple hours of leaks are still active. Not really any spoilers, just general gameplay except the first video of the flashback & the last video of Michael & Franklin which does give away part of a mission.

Wow, really come down hard on him to make a point then didn't they. Lose your YouTube, Vine and Xbox Live just to spoil a 2 minute or so piece of gameplay. Not really worth it.

 

[McLaren]

JSticks is banned because he revealed his Gametag, it seems. ROFLsomethingCOPTER is the other guy posting a couple leaks & apparently, isn't banned, so he may post some more.

JSticks still able to upload videos; just uploaded one of Trevor.
And another. Damn, & it's story-related. Have to be careful watching these.

 

[Peasantslayer]

It feels like Christmas morning, just woke to see all these youtube videos. I can confirm dollar sign wheels are back.
