Read through a thread on /b/ and found some fun rumours, can anyone confirm if any of these are true? :)
>second trailer coming late may (possibly the 15th)
>confirmed dogs, possible other small animals running about the city
>confirmed that the quote "be a family man" means that at the beginning of the game you do some family type missions but then it all goes to hell from there.
>map supposed 4x the size of GTA IV
Hello!
I am a friend of someone who recently got sacked from RockStar North for general misconduct. Because one contract to RockStar covered everything, including secrecy, and his contractual obligaton was now removed, he was legally allowed to spill the beans on Rockstar?s upcoming GTA V. And he is making damn sure everyone knows about it.
Here is the info you really want:
1. The protagonist will be one character, and one character alone. His name is (as some rumours said) Albert De Silva. He?s a half hispanic man who was once part of a crime family in Vice City. He decided to settle down and have kids in Los Santos. He has one son called Kevin De Silva who is your stereotypical CoD player. He?s lazy, useless and shouts racial abuse online and is really into FPS games. Kevin does admire his Dad though.
2. Multiplayer will hold 32 people on the Xbox and PS3. I wasn?t told how many were able to be on the PC. Just like in RDR, players will be able to form Gangs. These gangs are not ranked through XP anymore, but via Reputation. Instead of gang hideouts, you can do jobs that range from robbing a launderette to breaking into a military base and stealing state-of-the-art weaponary. The Gang leader has much more control over his or her gang by being able to rank members of their gang and setting more specific objectives to specific members of their gang. Gangs can have their own terratory but this only applies to areas inside the city of Los Santos.
3. The map is about 5x as large as the GTA IV map and the City of Los Santos takes up just under half of this area (so it?s a bit bigger than 2 GTA IV Liberty Cities).
The map is (like most GTAs) seperated into three different sections.
4. Planes are flyable, they range from World War 2 fighter planes to Private Jets.
5. Cars and guns are customisable to an extent, for example, you can cusomise a gun to have a supressor on it and you can install nitrous into cars.
Here?s some stuff you might like:
1. The protagonist is the ?rich guy? from the GTA V debut trailer. You get to learn more about this man in the second when he talks about his troubles. You only see the protagonist twice in the trailer. First time is the side of his face and second time is when he is driving a Deceptor (Audi R8). The people robbing the jewellery store are just with the protagonist. He is driving the van ready to get away.
2. Gunfights are more realistic. When you are shooting a gun out of a window of a car, depending on how fast it?s going you will have troubles aiming due to shaking cameras.
3. The game is due in May 2013. A more specific date has not been decided because the game is still needing 6 months to be fully developed. They will have a playable demo at E3.
4. Police chases are now way more than either running or driving. Depending on how wanted you are, police may bring out riot shields and flash bangs. 5. When someone reaches 4 star wanted level, there will be a radio warning on some stations.
6. Radio stations now do traffic reports that are actually correct. So if you don?t know what route to take, you can check the traffic reports on your phone or the radio.
7. The in-game TV now has many more channels
8. The protagonist DOES NOT die unlike in the last two Rockstar games.
9. The underworld actually has a working economy that you can contribute too by buying and selling drugs, weapons and illegal cars in single player.
10. The protagonist can take drugs which will have some effects. But smoking weed on the streetwalk will lead to getting a one star wanted level.
11. Police cars will go after you if you?re obviousely breaking the speed limit. Having high speed crashes will also damage your health.
Wanted levels:
1 star ? police follow you on foot and try to make an arrest. No sirens, no car chases (unless you are speeding).
2 star ? police will still attempt to make an arrest. If a weapon is drawn then the police will begin opening fire. Police will use stun guns if a weapon is not drawn.
3 star ? Chases begin and the police don?t care how they stop you, they just want to do it.
4 star ? road traps, radio stations and much more hostile police.Even when you have evaded them, they will still search for 24 in-game hours for someone matching your description.
5 star ? shoot to kill, arrest only if it?s made very possible. Even when you have evaded them, they will still search for 48 in-game hours for someone matching your description. Few missions become unavailable if you are wanted.
6 star ? military vehicles come after you. Even when you have evaded them, they will still search for 72 in-game hours for someone matching your description. Some missions become unavailable if you are wanted.
This 100% legit, he's one of my friends who tests games professionally and gets paid for it, and around about a week ago or so he went and tested GTA V. The footage which you may have seen (the blue car driving up the mountain) is real according to him, he has also said; you have to fuel cars and planes, you can pull over if you're getting chased by cops, if you walk around with a rocket launcher equipt or stuff like that it goes straight to the army, the police launch attacks on you, army boats, you can launch air strikes like mortar strikes, and if you get run over say your right leg, you limp with that leg till you get to a hospital for treatment, and helicopters are a lot more intelligent. You can choose to believe this or not it is entirely up to you, I can try to get more information if you would like to ask him any questions.
I wann Boeing 747 fly with there
Free entrance to every building.
Whore houses, fuckable bitches
Whore houses, fuckable bitches
To shoot with the rocket launcher from vehicles and to can be played on proverty PC's :PNo way, they will never make it possible for guys who have pentium 3 processor and some shitty DDR1 gfx, o/
Send this cover to Rockstar Games :D
A port to the PC that isn't as bad as the GTA IV one. Or maybe we should lower our expectations and hope they just port it :(
