EXCLUSIVE Interview with Rockstar North about Grand Theft Auto 5

Imran Sarwar (Rockstar Norths lead mission designer and producer of GTAV), talks to Tim and Dan of GTA5 O'Clock.

Its an AUDIO in VIDEO FORMAT! (So no need for full-screen).





Car Customization.
All the usual things you'd expect like:- paint jobs, wheels and tires, engine tune-ups, turbo etc, (and the horn), as well as more unrealistic stuff like nitro, roll cages, armor-plating and bullet-proof tires. 

Letter to RockStarGames about GTA5 of course!

Dear (oh dear) RockStarGames.. 
I am concerned that R* is getting off track again with GTA5 (not that there is anything I can do about it, I realize that). I just point out what RockStarGames  say and then seem to contradict themselves.

Our realistic worlds are getting neutralized with games houses and designers bowing to what they think the masses of players want in their games.

RockStar is a law unto its-self and like even when RockStar (2K games), could have been swallowed up by a bigger company, the Housers said they would have never took any notice of rules and regulations imposed on the RockStar team. 2K give them an open license as it were to do as they please and damn the nay-sayers who say you can't do this or that in a game. That's why GTA is head and shoulders above the rest of the games.

What the heck is GTA5 doing under-water? 
Or hunting like in Red Dead?

 

But then, we see players calling out for Jet fighters and laser guided missiles, or jet packs and there is really no-need for it in GTA. What the heck is GTA5 doing under-water? Or hunting like in Red Dead?

Are we going to be able to skin and bring a deer back to the barbeque? Hey, its called GRAND THEFT AUTO - RockStar seems to have forgotten its all about cars and stealing cars! The biggest thing R* could do; is to stop cars vanishing when you park and leave them parked-up. (Oh so you say they cannot do it because of some sort of technical coding reason that would take too long to explain, and I and the majority of players wouldn't understand or accept the answer anyway)!

GTA5 NEWS - New video on GTA5 Tuesday 9th July UK and Europe

It was short notice:- Published on July 8, 2013. Are RockStar testing our response time?

Wow! 

******************************
Some reports say that you can change between characters at any time, but not during a mission. This seems odd since we actually see character switching during a mission, in this video!

See 1:28 seconds point and then listen to the voice-over, she says; "Introducing three lead characters, transforms both the narrative into one interwoven story and the structure of individual missions.

Players can cut between vantage points; And from one high octane moment to another. [Whilst the video switches through each lead character in the same mission].

This helps to give missions, new levels of intensity and diversity"!

So, you CAN switch characters during a mission.

'That's what the narrator from RockStar just said"!

If you can't switch characters during some certain missions, it is because those missions are side missions or missions that are unique to that specific character.
