Everything We Know About GTA 5

An awesome video from IGN. They talk about all the features we think we will have in GTAV.

Most important to me though, would be to know more about the vehicles and customization, as well as buildings and interiors, clothing and character appearance and what we can to personalize our game experience via the character. I would have also liked to know more about the money side of the game, as they talk about 'money is a tool' in the game.

Watch and enjoy.
Don't forget GTA5 is NOT due in SPRING - the Release date is 17th September 2013.


Money in the past games, has not really been fully utilized. You could not even buy a car or a pad in GTA4!

I am both excited and disappointed with the switching of characters! Whilst I do think it is a great idea to play with different characters, like when you could play as the hit-man or wheel-man, in Scarface. I don't like the idea of switching mid-mission. It is like stealing the next scene from you. Doesn't it sound a little bit like the shitty DRIVER 3 experience of 'warping' or 'mental-telepathy' and taking over someone else's body! What a load of crap that was!



Did you not hate having the car taken off of you in LA Noire, (as you pulled up, arriving at a mission, it went into a cut scene and did not allow you to park-up and walk about to investigate), so annoying.  Its like having someone take the controller off of you, mid corner or when you are trying to park normally.

Also, the characters abilities were (I think) they are saying, if you want to fly a plane, you have to use a certain character. (OK if it is a jet fighter or jumbo passenger plane as ordinary people could not just fly them without dying). I think you should have to learn to fly, similar to GTA SA, and your flying skills would be relative to the success level of your missions where flying is part of the mission.

I hoped for more in-depth businesses, even something like ware-housing businesses and distribution businesses, that have the AUTO element! (Not Stupid GOLF and TENNIS! WTFunk have they got to do with GTA? - And the dating element has gone too)! I was hoping that the businesses would work, with delivery style missions, starting you out in legal business. Eventually you would progress to higher paid positions and eventually be able to own the company. But no, not a mention of this!

In my crazy GTA mind; Prostitution, dating girls, and doing auto related missions is what GTA should be about. On the back of that we want to be able to break in to any-and-all buildings and steal, do ram-raids on shops and ware-houses, do bank jobs; (Yes, we have those, I know), steal and BUY cars, customize cars and run rackets like drugs and gun trafficking. We would hide our illegal goods in amongst out various legal transport jobs when we are using businesses to front our illegal activities.

The games economy would work in my GTA world, so that we can use linking businesses that effect each other. You would actually learn how to promote and move your business on just like in the real world. Spend your profits on business upgrades and advertise your business to gain more customers and develop customer loyalty. All the time, fighting against the other competing businesses and hiding illegal aspects inside your business. Like drugs, guns and counterfeit goods from cigarettes, booze and clothing to footwear. 

We would have syndicated crime cartels and independent criminals in my perfect GTA style of game; so we can have gang wars over territories like in GTA SA, as well as have smaller street gangs, like in The-Warriors, who are independent chaos artists.  Drug-dealing could work like in Scarface, and we'd have organized crime syndicates that work like in Mafia-II and The-Godfather, (where we had some great take-over-the-ware-house missions).  I would like to see the ware-house element used better and have the ability to store your cars for your own use and for export as well as storing legal and illegal products.

Do Your YouTube Videos Not Play In Full Screen?
Usually there is an easy fix for this. Do This!

Hey RoskStar Please fix this! (Yea, I know its too late now, maybe GTA6)?
Instead of Golf and Tennis, (boring), what about bringing back the skate parks and having skate-boards-Tony-Hawk style? And have the same with the mountain biking. (Yes, I know the bikes are back, but there has been no mention-of, or image-shown of the skate-parks! lets hope they are not gone from the game)!

RockStar should bring back all of the fun things we loved in San Andreas, everything from the pimping missions to the pizza delivery. You don't have to do these missions, but in my perfect game, they would link nicely for the player going back to San Andreas and I would have those side missions linked into parts of your businesses, or for the acquiring skills needed to accomplish the ordinary missions.

Remember the flying school missions in GTA SA, flying through circles and then we really had no-flying missions that needed any of those skills! What a waste of time that was.

We should (Secret hint here), learn to fly upside-down, in the stunt air-school for the air-show side mission.  Then, be able to use that skill to transfer drugs from one plane to another, mid-flight, where a land-plane, (with wheeled landing gear), is supposed to fly over the sea to drop floatable bags of weed, into the ocean, to be picked up by us with our sea plane (or boat). The drugs having already been paid for, will otherwise be returned and we lose our money and our drugs.

However, the cops are seen waiting for us and we abort and you have to fly upside-down, above the land plane and have the bags of weed passed up to us whilst we are flying the plane! The other pilot does not have the skill to fly upside-down, (An idea I wrote to R* about, over 3 years ago). This would then be a more reliable way to exchange money and goods during illegal trade transactions. Hard to do, but rewarding for the more skilled player, more money and less police attention.

This is GRAND THEFT AUTO, don't you think RockStarGames should be telling us more about how we can steal cars? And I hope they fix some of the silly things in GTA. Like, you smash a car window to steal it, (with your elbow, try that yourself in real-life and you will end up in hospital! You'd have to be Robo-Cop or the Terminator to do that)! We, should have shims and lock poppers and we should get more of a chase from the police.

Polish little things like this:- If you smash a car window, then take the car into the car wash, it would be hilarious if your car filled up with water and you got soaked, spitting and coughing during the auto-car-was-sequence. It would be dead funny to have to remember if you had smashed the window, whilst in the car wash. All the funny things they could have our protagonist say.

Silly things currently in GTA4:  (not in any specific order of importance and not a full list).

• You cannot actually buy and own your own car!
• No garages to park in at your safe houses. 
• No car customization, not even like where we had it limited to low-rider cars in GTA SA. 
• You have to drive in and out of the spray garage constantly to get the color you want. R* should have done this like it was done in Mafia-II.
• You throw guns away when they run out of bullets!
• Carry an enormously impossible amount of guns and ammo, where does Niko put that rocket launcher?
• You find loaded guns and other stuff lying about, (and they are back in the same place a few hours later).
• Cops re-spawn over and over! This is stupid, the city should run out of cops if you kill, kill, kill. Have you never done a hospital hold-out, killing hundreds of cops as they try to get to you? 
• You should be able to break into all buildings and smash all windows etc. Currently most all buildings are just scenery, pictures! How stupid is that, it would be easy to fix and easy to create random interiors for all buildings. (I am told by my game coder friends).
• If you get wet, you should stay wet until you change clothes.
• The same clothing items should not be available at all of your houses unless you deliver them there or buy a second or third item. 
• You should be able to park and leave your car anywhere and it be there, (not withstanding being randomly stolen of course), for when you return.
• No BMX's WTFunk? No police motorcycle in GTA4? Stupid!
• In GTA SA - we did not need silly things like the Jet-Pack, (as fun as it was to fly it), it was a crazy none-relative, unrealistic vehicle transport type.
• It is silly to have an 'Auto' based game without articulated lorries, lets hope they are back in GTA5, no-one is talking about them nor asking RockStar about them in interviews.
• Go to hospital for getting seriously run over, or shot several times, or fall of a skyscraper or jump from a plane: etc, when you should be dead! You should go back to your last save point!
• The hospital charging you hundreds of thousands for a one night stay. Did R* say; "Oh well we have not thought of any other way to spend the characters money logically, lets just rob them blind whilst they are in hospital!"
• The car and motorcycle races are too easy! Ridiculous!
• Two cops sit in police car, you try the door, they put on the warning-lights and get out, you get in and drive away! Stupid and too easy! 
• Push a parked cop car with your car, into your parking area. Smash the cop-car-window and drive away a set distance in your own car.  Return and get in the cop-car, it yours now! Stupid!
• You can actually get through all of the main game missions without actually stealing a car! Not even once! So, why is it called Grand Theft Auto?

Have a great day!
Niko.
