This clip has me scared. After the bullshit with State of Decay & Saints Row being banned in Australia the little scene with Franklin walking out of weed dispensary has me thinking I might want to preorder this one from OS. **** our government mandated censorship machine.
@CrouchingWeasel **** the government. **** everyone of them. We need to rise up against them and burn those mother fuckers to the ground. Death to government, everywhere. You hear me NSA et al? I'm coming for your ass and it will be fucked.
@H0stG4m3r I hope he does. He seems like the guy who actually uses the rating system right. Great games get 8-9, good games are 6-8, mediocre are 4-6, bad are 3-4 and not worth pissing on is 1-3. Only the best of the best games should be getting 10s.
I like how he isn't as soft as many other reviewers. He gives a more fair and realistic rating that allows people to tell how good a game actually will be.
What can i say it´s just awesome, huge map, great story, back to los santos, more diversity in the mission it´s just amazing, only thing left the multiplayer let´s see how much inprovement they put in relation to the multiplayer of GTA IV
Well after all of the other games this year such as watch dogs, the division, farcry 3, bioshock infinite and the last of us, I'm actually not excited for this, I mean whats new and better about this game that I should be excited for? Nothing really, I loved number 4 but this just seems boring to be honest
@QuickNQuiet I'm with you. I hope they can compete against all the awesome open world games already available and the ones to come. Fallout 3 and Assassin's Creed 2 might be my favorite open world game and Saint's Row 3 the most fun. Sleeping Dogs I think, beat GTA at being GTA. I don't really know what GTA has left to impress. We'll see come release of the game.
@Kryptonbornson Sleeping Dogs? That game is as bland and generic as they can be, and I don't need to go too far, guess who's selling the drugs?
Saint's Row is another really poor example, it only got any hype before GTAIV was announced for the Xbox 360. So it was gonna be GTA on PS3 vs SR on X360, I remember back then people comparing it directly to GTA: SA on the PS2, and claiming how much better it was becasue, and this was really one of their points, the cars stored in a garage wouldn't dissapear....
Personally I had several vehicles spread across the map and not one ever dissapeared on me, on a system with no HDD, 128MB of RAM and only an 8MB memory card. But all that aside, as soon as GTAIV was officially announced as day 1 on the Xbox 360 SR took a nose dive.
The latest one is simply ridiculous, calling a van with zombies? A flying bike straight out of Flash Gordon?
Neither Sleeping Dogs nor Saint's Row can be compared with GTA on all or any level of production, not even both combined.
This is one of those cases where the series isn't bad, or not fun - YOU just don't like them. It'd be one thing if GTA's didn't innovate or improve with each new iteration, but they do.
GTA IV was in no way a step down. They took their proven formula, and improved upon it in every conceivable way. Created a brand new game engine for it - Rockstar Advanced Game Engine (R.A.G.E). That engine utilizes the Euphoria Motion technology that gives GTA IV it's life-like animations. The physics were all around improved, and the cars drove more realistically than any other game in its genre. The gunplay that everyone seems to like in Red Dead Redemption is exactly the same gunplay in GTA IV, except that you don't auto-run while sprinting, and you can switch shoulder views. The city felt real compared to past cities in GTA, and NPC behaved realistically and went about their daily lives. The story telling and narrative had vastly improved from past GTAs. The overall design was better than any other GTA before it. And yet complainers seemed only able to focus on the fact that you couldn't fly planes or ride bicycles. The physics, gunplay, story telling, and other basic mechanics set the tone for future GTAs, so that they can bring all of that great gameplay into future, more "traditional" GTA settings. Again, I will state that it wasn't good or fun, you just didn't care for it - there was plenty of innovation.
@ooblah GTA IV was definitely a step down. Hopefully this one is better. I hold that hope just like everyone else, I just don't see it from this trailer.
@djdan200 @QuickNQuiet The previous ones yes, but I guess I'll have to wait and see I mean I wasn't excited at all for the new bioshock and I played it and it was absolutely amazing. I just wish they gave this game something to stand out y'know?
I really do hope they're smart enough to bring this over to next-gen/PC, considering how much better it could look with more memory and better hardware. The textures are really bland, and it's a sacrifice to accommodate the enormous amount of content. On next-gen/PC, they could keep the game just as huge without compromising overall texture quality.
@ashyblood Same here it stinks that it'll be a PS3/360 exclusive in the short term. Such beauty wasted on outdated hardware. Granted it will at least make its way to the PC but I'm torn between getting a console version and holding out for the PC port which is sure to come eventually.
@udubdawgz Not to mention best case scenario (and already assuming it will be ported to PC) it will get the exact same skin & texture quality, because thats just how the assets were made. Oh yeah, I was about to say, best case scenario it will be rendered higher than 720p, which on a 1080p TV (that will always upscale if the console doesn't send that signal already) 8~10 feet away, doesn't really make much of a difference.
If you're rubbing noses with a monitor then yes, you need that 1600+ Kicking back on the couch 8~10 feet away ? Not really.
So, eventually there would be mods for the PC, and a version of ICE making it all shiny but just like GTAIV, took me longer to install the mods than actually time spent playing the modded game because it doesn't matter how good they were, it was the same game I had beat several months earlier on the PS3, it wasn't anything new or fresh.
Wow, looks very impressive! I'm more of a fan of open world games where I can customize my character, but I have to say this looks like a strong contender. It makes me understand why people like this series just a little more.
