GTA5 to have extremely large map
Posted by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 11/10/2012 09:32 AM | 33 comment(s) ]
Rockstar Games unveiled new information about Grand Theft Auto V, which is slated for a Spring 2013 release. The game promises an extremely large map, Rockstar claims the game's city, Los Santos, will be bigger than GTA IV, Red Dead Redemption and GTA San Andreas combined!.
The game will have three main characters, and the game publishers also revealed that the game will have more vehicles than ever before, including planes and aircraft accessible from early within the game.
The game’s three main characters are Michael, an ex-bank robber now living the high life following a deal with the FIB (the game’s version of the FBI); Franklin, a young gang member from the wrong side of the tracks who has gone into semi-legitimate business as a repo man; and Trevor, a maniacal drug addict and lifelong criminal who once flew for the military.
All three characters have their own lives, homes and daily routines, and the player will be able to switch between them at will when not taking part in a mission. The trio’s stories closely intertwine, and they’ll be teaming up for selected missions in the game, some of which will be elaborate, extended heists in which you’ll be able to change character at selected points.

I won't even look at it if it runs anywhere near as bad as GTA4.

Optimisation should be their top priority. Otherwise it will be unmanageable for a pc like gta4 was.

no reason not to get it. enjoyed every gta game so far.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas = 13,9 Square Miles
Grand Theft Auto: IV = 16 Square Miles
Red Dead Redemption = 28 Square Miles
nice indeed

Last GTA I truly enjoyed playing was Vice City. San Andreas was crap, GTA4 was much better but I did not bother finishing that one as it got boring. Did not play GTA4 at the release, bought it from some Steam sale when it run quite well after few patches(?) and I had PC which was able to deal with the game (which is the more likely reason why it ran well). Hopefully they will get this one working straight from the PC release (optimize).
Not sure if game getting boring was something to do with game area getting bigger and bigger all the time yet feeling more empty. Perhaps there was not enough stuff to do or there was too much to do, still good luck with this game. Might not be buying straight at the time when game comes out, but from Steam(?) sale if I dont hear exceptionally good comments from friends, reviews and so which might make me buy it like a week from release.

Really?
Go play GTA3 then GTA4
Not to mention they release them about every 3-4 years, nothing like the yearly modern shooter releases

I'm looking forward to playing this game. A year from now when it finally comes out for PC. If at all.

The last GTA I played was San Andreas and got quickly bored as for as large as it was, there were just huge empty deserts and mountain areas with sweet f.a. going on in them. Vice City I felt had a nice density to it where there was some fun to be had wherever you ended up.
Hopefully this won't just be more emptiness.

My mate's working on this at Rockstar North, he won't spill any more than has already been leaked, not even about the PC version. Git.

But it will still run like poo on the PC and look ugly as sin on the consoles (again).
Hope they have got rid of that awful lighting from the previous game and the long gap between checkpoints which meant you had to do the same part of the game over and over and over and...
