So it has been a very long time since I've played a GTA game. A very long time! But after seeing some reviews and seeing how much is in the GTA-V game, I might have to check this one out.
Here is a good video preview of the game: http://ca.ign.com/articles/2013/09/16/grand-theft-auto-v-review
Anyone else interested in this title? I know it is a little mature for some house holds... so I think some of you would be out. Its too bad as it looks like it has so many different aspects to a game!
Already pre-ordered, sadly I won't be able to pick it up until Wednesday
I honestly can't believe it's been 5 years since GTAIV... I wonder if Roman still wants to go bowling?
Hmm, seems like it was pretty expensive to create. I hope they get their money back on it.

Wow lol... I didn't know that!
From what I understand this map is going to be huge, larger than GTA: San Andreas, GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption combined. There was also talk of reducing the amount of pointless empty space (which was a problem in San Andreas) by condensing the wilderness. What this means is that we have a huge world crafted with more detail than GTAIV, which to me is something I just have to see.
The level of detail in this one is by all accounts beyond pretty much anything before it, as well as the sheer size and variety means you'll have access to a lot more things to do (the return of fixed wing aircraft for one).
Given GTA's track record of great games I'm sure they went all out and I'm really looking forward to exploring that world.

It's really getting ridic isn't it ... the handful of games with amazingly deep storyline, character arcs, voice acting -- all having a budget exceeding virtually EVERY big Hollywood blockbuster film*; even with being part of the GTA series, even with great reviews and huge opening-week numbers, it's still gonna be tough to make the money back, unless there's plenty of extra-value add-on revenue in the mix.
*perspective -- after the original classic was so financially successfull, look what producers were able to set aside for the Wachowskis to do the un-needed #2 and #3:
http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=matrixreloaded.htm
http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=matrixrevolutions.htm
That's $150million, but usually it's more than that if such a general, estimated, "round number" like that. Heck, $250million = that recent Disney flop that really shouldn't be named (http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=johncarterofmars.htm) -- but it had no "big name" lead actors! Still, not that it's really comparable film vs VG, since film production costs != video game production costs -- different stuff in each inflates the respective budget.
GTA IV made $310 million bucks in its first day selling 3.6 million copies, by 2012 it had sold over 22 million copies.
Development cost was estimated around $100 million, so GTA IV made it's money back and turned a profit in a single day.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto_IV#Commercial_success
I have no doubt in my mind that they will recoup their cash.
That said, other games with equally grand plans have fallen flat on their faces ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APB:_All_Points_Bulletin ) or had such bad management that even with relatively good sales virtually imploded ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Noire )

Back then there was a lot less competition for your entertainment dollars.
Also, that's the gross revenue, i.e. sales in stores and online etc. A good chunk of that coin is never gonna fall into the pockets of those who produce the game -- plenty is distributed among the levels of store / wholesaler / publisher ... so if the development budget was $200M+ then you'd need gross sales in excess of $400M to be profitable, or more. From what I understand about sales/marketing/business (i.e. not much ;) )
From the same wikipedia article; at the time film industry execs were worried about the release of Iron Man being impacted by the release of GTAIV, oddly prescient...
Here's an article from 2009 that sticks out in my memory:
http://www.theguardian.com/technology/gamesblog/2009/sep/27/videogames-hollywood
It's like the Golden Age of cinema where there were a glut of really amazing films all dazzling you week to week, it's no surprise that both industries have sort of evolved similarly over time (in terms of funding anyway).
Even the indie titles are getting decent amount of production or have extremely clever design elements that pull you in and beg to be played (Papers Please! -- simple yet brilliant!)
I think the big problem at the moment is that there are just so many great games vying for attention that it's getting difficult to choose where your bux go, and these are all games with pretty good production values all clamouring for your eyeballs.
It's a good time to be alive if you like more interactive entertainment.
Somewhat hyperbolic? "Best Game Ever"

Dang, maybe I should book some time off hah*
*sweatily remembering playing Bioshock Infinite 9 hours straight
Analyst predicts 1 billion revenue in the first month:
http://www.vg247.com/2013/09/16/gta-5-sales-to-top-1-billion-in-first-month-analyst-predicts/
It will be interesting to see how this one performs.
I guess it depends on how much they sell the game for, as well as how many units they sell. That earlier post about GTA IV making 310million on 3.6million units, that means the average price was about $86 per unit. I thought North America got the highest price at $60 per disc?
When GTA IV launched there were special collectors' edition versions, so prices varied.
As well prices in some areas like Australia are sometimes surprisingly higher than average.
Damn I wish I didn't have to be at the doctor today I really want to get my hands on this game today
Huge sales != Huge profits

Oddly enough there was a mission in Vice City where you go back to Liberty City (from GTAIII) it was exciting to think that there could be more to do in a totally different locale

That depends on how the publisher orchestrated the deal. If its like hollywood (or the music business), that game is still a financial looser on paper.

I did the first few missions and then just started to ... wander
At one point I hit a deer (or something, it darted out in front of me, I didn't get a good look) in the country and lost control of my bike, no one on the highway would stop so I started walking.
I was in the desert and I could hear coyotes, the sounds started getting closer so I jumped on a slow moving freight train and rode on a flatbed until I got into a switchyard where I found an old car parked near a switch house. I hotwired it and drove back to the city (a long drive, more than 5 minutes).
I wasn't sure where I was when I got in and I didn't know how to set waypoints on the map yet but I noticed there was an LRT station closeby so I got on it and rode it to a station I recognized and walked home
IT'S ONE OF THOSE GAMES
Haha. Yeah, I heard the world is pretty darn huge.

Do you know how epic that sounds? And how much more epic it would be if there was an over all consistent world? Or at least a larger sharded world.
That would be so damn cool. have rival "crews" and such.

XBox LIVE Gold. Microsoft is the only console maker that charges you for online play.
I've been a Gold member for a while but over the last year I really wasn't playing too much online stuff on my XBox so it was an easy choice to axe.

Ah ok, well the PC version is November I
think
The whole live gold stuff is stupid imo. why they absolutely force game devs into using their platform is stupid. I sure wouldn't want to pay for a MS subscription just for one game.
I actually didn't mind it so much but last year they started serious advertising bombardment and basically every blade of the interface has advertising on it now
I can't see how they can justify charging me money and selling out my network connection to hungry advertisers.
Not to mention they've probably been selling your habits and history to advertisers as well.

Amazing what the devs thought of:
Quote1) Failing and repeating a mission will give you several slightly different versions of the same pre-mission briefing dialogue.

21) The mouse clicker in the in-game internet isn?t a pointer finger - it?s a middle finger.

23) After buying clothes for the Lifeinvader mission, if you return to the store the clerk asks how the interview went.

38) When multiple characters can start a mission, the beginning mission dialogue is different depending on who you start the mission as.
39) Return to the Ammu-Nation you entered for an early story mission and the clerk will talk about how cool your first conversation was, ?like something out of a movie.?
40) Braking suddenly and aggressively in your car lurches your character and any passengers forward thanks to momentum.
41) In a police shootout, if you shoot one officer in the leg another might drag him behind cover to safety.
42) Gunning a car on dirt or gravel spits it out behind your vehicle when offroad.

67) At night if you crash a car into a house, its interior lights will spring on, as if you woke up the residents.
68) If you try to pick up a prostitute when a cop car is nearby, the woman won?t approach you - they just try to look inconspicuous instead.

77) When characters are sleeping their faces will twitch subtly.
78) Sound effects can sound muffled based on where they originate from, like muffled music coming from an NPCs car.
79) When Franklin first moves homes, his crib is empty with lots of boxes. Over time the number of boxes dwindles and the home fills with furniture and items.
80) In the prologue, Michael?s phone isn?t a smartphone - it is very old and outdated, since the prologue takes place years earlier.
81) If you disable a police vehicle and the cop is alive, he will commandeer a civilian vehicle and continue the chase.
82) Missions can be skipped if you fail them a few times in a row.
83) At night the beach will be dotted with a few campfires and revelers, each with their own unique dialogue. Some even strum on guitars.

91) If you have Michael hang out with his wife Amanda and go drinking, you get much deeper insight into their relationship via original dialogue.
92) If you rob a store repeatedly the clerk will recognize you and have a police presence waiting for you the next time you enter.

98) In gunfights if enemies drop out of sight and don?t fire at you for a while, they'll drop off your radar. Even if they?re still there, hiding behind cover.
99) Some lights are motion-detecting and only click on when you walk by them.
100) If someone is sitting in a chair, your melee attack can kick the chair out from under them.
The ones I can remember or have seen personally are: #3, #5, #8, #12 (and if you flip people off while on a motor bike, sometimes they will run you over - did that one by accident and laughed hard!!!), #13, #14, #23, #38 (this one happened to me when I failed as Micheal, and tried starting it as Franklin), #55 (only caught this cause my wife has an iPhone, I have an Android, and I really wanted a Windows Phone), #90 (hats too)
Other things made me laugh in the list, and some things I have to try:
Cars have regular and high-beam options;
If you idle your character long enough, they will switch to first-person and begin looking around at the environment, even ?zooming in? on any attractive women in the area.;
If you drive at night with your headlights off, oncoming cars will flash theirs, to alert you.

If you rob a store repeatedly the clerk will recognize you and have a police presence waiting for you the next time you enter.;Crazy huh?? The detail astounds me.
that is crazy
There are also a lot of random events, I found a video that showed many of them, it's crazy the details!
So 7 Guinness Book of World Records....
http://ca.ign.com/articles/2013/10/09/gta-5-currently-holds-seven-guinness-world-records
And check out the video there. The guy whom voices Trevor looks a lot like is in game character... or is it vice-versa :P
To be honest I'm glad game developers have started using the VAs features in the motion capture
There were times in LA Noire (where the characters look just like the actors) where it really was like watching a film or something.
I bought GTA V for PC and I'm GLAD I DID
Because playing at a constant 60 fps AND being close to the tiny ass in-game text is making a huge difference
My only regret is my video card's lack of available memory so I can't currently play with higher resolution textures.
Glad its better for you buddy!

I was playing a little GTA: V Online today... ahh the fun of playing with kids
As I was knocking over a convenience store on my way to steal a helicopter (because I'm low level and I needed money), some jerkass decided to try to take me out while I was in there. I whipped around really fast and got 'em with my heavy assault rifle (thank you side missions!) but it raised my wanted level to 3, that alerts some players in multiplayer and marks me as a target. Now most of the time people don't care but this guy for some reason made it his mission to find me, which he did, I had driven my beast up the side of a steep hill near a gravel quarry and he managed to blast me with a shotgun. Ok, it's GTA Online, it happens.
Anyway, I respawn not far away and go to get my car, and before I could do anything the jerkass made a beeline for me and killed me again... now I'm a low lvl character and he's a high level character, so this is just somebody being a dick. Anyway, I respawned and went into "passive" mode which makes it so people can't just randomly engage you (also you can't draw weapons) anyway for some reason he drove up to me and got out of his car? I don't know why, so seeing my opportunity I tried to jack his car, but I got in on the passenger side, he managed to get in the driver side and he just started driving with me sitting there, it was making him crazy because there's no way to kick somebody out of your car, so I just sat there being annoying.
This car is something that he had sunk a lot of cash into, it was mostly all custom (or at least as far as you can get by lvl 18) but the thing is he got fed up of me sitting there and at high speed on the highway bailed out... I was like "ok" and just got in the driver's seat and took it to "Los Santos Customs" (a chop shop).
You see, if you jack another players car, no matter their level, you can sell it. And I did. And I got $95k for it
The moral of the story is: if you're gonna be a dick online disable the ability for "everyone" to get in your car
LOL
I discovered two things:
1. Director Mode
2. Rockstar Editor
VASTLY addictive features
Once again the latest combo of game and video drivers lead to random FPS drops, I disabled VSYNC and it seemed to reduce the visibility of the problem.
I'm not sure who is worse at optimization NVIDIA or Rockstar

So, I reinstalled my NVIDIA drivers and re-detected my monitor and the FPS lag went away.
Don't know why that worked but it did

The Star Destroyer one is pretty amazing, it shows just how ridiculously huge it would really be (a pity though the textures look like ass at that size)
