So when they say you'll be able to drive planes/helicopters into buildings will it be like destructible environments in BFBC2 only with graphics apparently pushing the 360 and PS3 to their limits.

Wow. This game is going to be technically amazing but I'm sure its going to gain a whole lot of controversy like Wolfwood mentioned.
 
The rumor mill is a buzzin. This gent claims to work for a UK based gaming magazine. Grain of salt of course.

1: The game world is absolutely massive and will push both xbox and PS3 to the very limit in terms of what it has accomplished. Yes, the main city is simply Los Santos however is it AT LEAST 4 times bigger than Liberty City in GTA 4 and that is just Los Santos. The surrounding country side, beaches, etc are massive. For instance, we saw the main character ( an African/American, early 30's) travel by car from the center of Los Santos into the wildnerness and it took over 15 minutes. The views were incredible from farmhouses with cattle, huge wind farms, an oil refinery which appeared to be living and breathing with nearly 100 NPCs working on machinery, operating vehicles, lifting and loaded, etc, unlike the gas works in GTA 4 which seemed to only house a few NPC at a time. The forests are more beautiful than those in RDR and featured people camping, young NPC drinking and dancing around campfires, people riding dirt bikes and jumping over logs, streams, etc. The water effects, forna, plants, trees all looked beautiful.

2: The shooting mechanics have been greatly improved with animations for diving, climbing, rolling and crawling all added for better realism. The re-loading animations for new ammo also look cooler, less static.

3: There is much more climbable elements in the world such as ladders, overhand climbing, etc.

4: There are animals in the game from dogs to cattle but at this time it is not confirmed if you will be able to harm the animals. Rockstar were able to get away with it in RDR as it was a true depiction of the world in which the game was set. Allowing dogs/cattle to die in a game sent in current times may cause headaches with PETA. Its unclear if Rockstar were joking here.

5: There are planes to pilot and they can be crashed into buildings if you choose to do so....

6: Rockstar have included many, many more interior locations such as a shopping mall, college campus, police station, a huge hospital and there is also a vast underground sewer network which one mission later in the game involves a jet ski chase that culminates in a Fugitive-esque waterfall jump ( there are nods to the ridiculous but awesome Ballad Of Gay Tony missions)

7: The city is full of NPCs jogging, weight-lifting, hitting on women, being chased on foot by cops, shopping, washing cars, fixing fences, moving home, filling up their cars, etc.

REAL JUICY INFO:

1: Cars can be upgraded/repaired and it has been considered to have a car have fuel forcing the player to fill her up.

2: The dating aspect of the game is gone. You still have a cell-phone but only people you will meet in the game will call you to ask you to do a mission or to ask you to do something else before the mission.

3: Weapons include the usual arsenal you'd aspect but the flamethrowers, remote mines, laxer trip mines and claymores are included. It is possible now to pick up random objects in a street/buidling to use as a weapon. There is also a museam where it is possible to steal old age swords, axes, etc.

4: it is possible to rupture a fuel line and if you shot at the trail of gasoline it will lead straight back to the car blowing it up.

5: mini games such as bowling, darts, etc have all gone. You can play basketball, weight train, arm wrestle, gamble and cage fight, enter triatholons, water races, cannoing, ab-saling, rock climbing, base jumping, ski diving. More to be confirmed.

6: Character customisation is back but only in terms of clothing, body weight, etc. The player you start off which, much like CJ, can't be altered by race, age, height, etc.

7: Rockstar said burglary missions may return but only as part of missions and not on neigbourhood houses.

8: No children NPC at all. Ever.

9: There is now an ability to grab people and use as sheilds or in "hostage" situations.

10: The cops are much, much, much more realistic. If you kill somebody when you know there are no cops around you will not run the risk of a one star as often as you would in GTA4. The cops will use smoke and tear gas, dogs, riot gear and rams to knock down the doors of buildings you are hiding in.

11: You can enter some buildings and lock doors, push objects in the way to barricade.

12: You become better at things as the game progresses. If you only ride motorbikes then you will increase your skills, same as individual weapons.

13: Certain weapons can be customisable and some even home-made.

14: One mission involves breaking out a very familiar GTA icon from a previous game...

15: Torrential rain fall and sunshine and even tremors will appear in the game.

Nice find Kal, hope all of this turns out to be true.
 
my god...it sounds incredible...

looks like they are making it a lot more fun than gta iv!
 
They did the gas thing in Mafia II and it was never really an issue unless you stuck with the car for a long time. I guess that would be like the trophy in RDR that made you use the same horse for 20 missions.
 
GTA IV was fun, but this is on a whole nother level.
 
Hope those details are true. Game sounds amazing.
 
i'm hoping cj makes an appearance, considering that the game will be taking place in his hometown and all.

Agreed.
 
Especially with the use of the term 'icon'. That lends much more prominence than simply using the word 'character.'


The other thing is, that list mentioned the main character as a young African American. So that would mean that either a) We were potentially wrong about the older, white guy or b) This confirms multiple playable characters. Assuming the info is legit, of course.
 
This really does sound groundbreaking, IMO. This seems like it's going to be an experience unlike any other.
 
Would be F'n Amazing and so I sure hope ALL of it is true,But IF the exploring areas are at least 4 times bigger than GTA IV's and it takes 15 mins by car to go from the center of Los Santos to the forest..I sure hope the planes includes a jet though!!

A jet is explicitly shown in the trailer, there seems like no other reason to include that shot.
 
So happy with the inclusion of a jet.

I'm still thinking multiples....that voice actor sounded more Italian than "black." (Yeah, I know....that's racist man :cmad: ) Plus, a lot of the scenes in the trailer don't seem to focus on the black guy....but we'll see.

Interesting that there seems to be a lot of emphasis on the outdoors, and seemingly physical fitness in general. Biking, climbing, hiking, camping, weight training, exercise.....it's almost like they're saying, "Hey, if you're not going to get off your fat ass and get some exercise, Couch Potato, you can at least do it in a *virtual* setting." :oldrazz:
 
I am more inclined to believe slowly circulating but persistent rumors (multiple protagonists) ove just a random info dump from someone in-the-know.
 
I hope they bring back cheat code inputs. Those were a huge part of the fun from the PS2 games

They had that with IV. I remember being able to spawn a Buffalo cop car at any time by going to my mobile phone. Same with health and body armor.
 
If those rumors are true, this game will undeniably be one of the best games of 2012.

Speaking of 2012, this will come out during the summer or fall of that year. No way in hell they release such a trailer like that and keep it closed for over a year. And even though it's a GTA game, seems like it's going to somehow surprise people like Rockstar always does with their games.

Red Dead Redemption came out of nowhere and it is now proclaimed one of the best open world games/games in general.
 
It's been mentioned before how most of Rockstar's most recent games have come out a year after their trailers were released, with the exception of L.A. Noire.

But I've heard an interesting point on IGN where they said it wouldn't make much sense and is really unusual for Rockstar to push out two games in one year to compete against each other. Since they already have Max Payne 3 coming out in March, it seems more likely that GTA V would be released either in the late Fall of 2012, or possibly even early in 2013.
