News and game-shots, from Gamersheep.
Solo play allows you to switch characters, stepping into the three main characters lives wherever they may be. The way you can switch characters, has a Google-Maps feel and style of zoom out and back in to another character. This sounds very 'Driv3r' style (Driver 3). OMG and I hated that game!
The zoom out and in to a different character takes longer the further away the character is from your current location. Personally I don't see the point of that and it must have cost time and disk-space to code it into the game, that could have otherwise been better spent on more car customizations or more internal locations.

I think we are going away from RockStarGames original plan, promise and goals in GTA5. Namely, they claimed to be going after realism and fact in their games. Yet, here we are with Michael doing a Max Payne bullet time / Matrix style bullet dodge. How's that any sort of reality? .
It sounds like the tours are a touch of realism, but will they pay any part in the storyline? One of my annoyances in games like these, is where they give you side missions or things to do and see, that have no bearing on the game whatsoever. For example, the flying lessons in San Andreas.
There I was, thinking, ooh great, we are going to get some flying mission, whereby, if you don't have your commercial or private pilots license, then you cannot start the mission. No-such thing happened. Then I thought, with the flying skills developed like when you had to fly through hoops in the quad games side missions, that you might actually need those skills to get through some of the missions. Again, no suck skills were necessary.
Like what should happen, I pointed out these mission ideas before in previous posts.You should have to learn to fly, take-off and land safely, within certain parameters and to navigate et al. Then, those skills should be usable in the game, like where you have to fly and navigate to a remote island to pick up drugs, without that skill developed, you will never find the island.
Also, you would not be allowed to land, and would be caught on airspace radar and escorted in, if you refuse the escort followed by arrest, or try to avoid it, you would be shot down! Just like in real life!.
GTA is not a Gangster Game! It is a criminal world around autos!
You would also need your developed skills of driving and piloting different craft to start and operate different businesses and work at certain jobs. I am looking forward to the scuba-diving in the underwater areas, but I cannot help thinking again that surely this extra area and all the life and detail that RockStar added to the underwater world, could have better been spent on more land based GTA action and features like more car types and garages, internal locations for businesses to do with the motor trade.
This is not generally supposed to be a gangster game, based on the title, its more of a criminal world based around motor cars and that is not gangsters! Hence GTA Grand Theft Auto!
It seems that RockStarGames are forgetting their roots. Making it more like Max Payne, and giving their characters next-to super powers, rather than just raw car stealing and driving skills. RockStar is losing the plot!
What's point of having five-times-as-many pedestrians in the game-world, if they are no different to the ones we had in GTA4, there were plenty enough pedestrians, or, is it that RockStar mean different types of pedestrians? I think that must be it. Trying to avoid seeing the same types and similar or exactly the same pedestrians all over the map would not be good.
I had hoped that GTA5 would learn a little from the likes of Mafia 2 with each pedestrian having their own name, they could add each pedestrian living in a particular pace and working a certain job. I did expand on this in other posts in years past.
I am looking forward to GTA5 - don't get me wrong, but, I do feel that RockStar are losing the plot and drifting away from their original goals for GTA5.
Have a great day!
Niko.
