Official GTA 5 thread
 

It's almost time for the new GTA game to be released and I thought we should have one thread dedicated to it. Everyday there is new info coming out about the game now. There is SO much to do in the game its really getting overwhelming quickly. At the very least there is 30 or more side activities/hobbies you can do to kill time when you aren't doing missions.

The game has a new engine, mechanics for shooting/taking cover (thank god!)

Keep in mind, GTA5 is FIVE times the size of Red Dead Redemption! It's HUGE. This game is bigger than the last two games combined.

The game has three central characters and are independent from eachother. They all they their own stuff, money, houses, stories etc.

1. Base Jumping
2. Hunting
3. Tennis
4. Golf (Full 9 hole golf course)
5. Shooting range (increase your skills and earn guns)
6. Scuba diving (search for buried treasure and watch out for sharks!)
7. Cycling
8. Jet skiing
9. Stock market (earning money)
10. Stunt plane trials
11. Liquor store & ATM robberies (earning money)
12. Investment properties (with perks like if you buy a Taxi company you never pay for a taxi ride again or you must buy a Helipad in order to buy a helicopter)
13. Random world events (hitch hikers, stranded motorists, abandoned cars with dead bodies in the trunk you can investigate to open a bigger mission)
14.Bounty Hunting
15. Random character encounters
16. Strip Clubs
17. Taking pictures
18. Triathlons
19. Bus tours
20. Arms trafficking
21. Car races
22. Buying car
23. Modifying cars in more ways than ever before. (bulletproof tires are rumored)
24. Clothes customization
25. Tattoos
26. Haircuts
27. Pets (some will be attack pets)
28. Yoga
29. Assassination missions


Rumored additional missions some that were in the previous game -

-casinos (poker, slots etc)
-bowling
-darts
-billiards
-ATV'n


Guns are now customizable too.

Police missions

More radio stations than ever, including Dubstep which will make Dale happy. lol.

Whew...so much to do! This game will save me a lot of money from going out and wasting money on other things since I will be buried in this game awhile!


**EDIT**

New GTA Online Trailer!

Even though ive played all the prior series, im so pumped for this game release.

One thing i didn't see mentioned above that im curious about is online mutiplayer. Certainly single player has an intoxicating amount of activities and missions, but gotta have mutiplayer every now and again.

This game is gonna be such a time kill.

Not much has been released about the multiplayer yet. I imagine they will slowly be releasing a few tidbits each week as we get closer to the release date to build up the hype. Like you, I'm really curious about MP and excited about this new game!

Most of you looking to console version I'm assuming?

360 for me. Someday ill get a good computer and be hip like you Tim.

Yeah. It's hard to beat the online playing on Xbox Live.




Here is a list of everything with a motor and some things without. Planes, trains, automobiles, bikes, motorcycles, jets, jet skis, atvs, boats etc.

Will you still be able to fuck hookers and then beat them up to get your money back?

Nothing has been mentioned about that I have seen.

That the last GTA game I played.

Lol. I would go several steps further than just beating them up and retrieving my refund. Things that I'm not proud of.

Okay, this thread just got a lil creepy..

No Doubt this game will be tits. I'm taking off a whole week to play it when it's released.

Since there is strip clubs I'm sure there's hookers.
No worries, you creeps will get your fix.

I just found a lil tidbit hint from a insider at Rockstar that somewhere in the ocean is a treasure to have millions of dollars in it. The problem with it is that it moves around because there is NPC's also treasure hunting. When the NPC finds it, it's gone for a period of game time and reappears somewhere randomly.

I still play Vice City to this day...98% complete...and I simply can't reach 100%. Driving me insane. And to think I still have to finish 4 and the 2 side packs before ill start on 5. Yes I know, OCD

Do you use cheats? I thought that they made the game impossible to get 100 complete if cheats were used. Like several missions were literally not possible to beat if cheats were used ever in the game save.

No cheats. I've been playing it for years without help online or through forums.

Lol. It's a game centered around nothing but crime, murder and illegal activities. There are a lot of creepy things already built in.

I'm considering changing your screen name to Ted Bundy.

So you're telling me you never go around sweeping the streets on that game with flame throwers, rocket launchers, molotov cocktails, snipe people's heads off, stab, etc? That's part of the game.

...then when will you drink!?

Meh, I'm quitting for 30 days, started yesterday.

Random chaos is one thing. Thinking through a scenario like you did is a different mind set. lol.

Just play the game and don't look at your bank statements that you spent on your car or you will start drinking again. :D

How does the online play work cause I've never played GTA online before?

This is the first game I will be buying right after it comes out in a long time

Online play is fun as hell. Just about anything you can think of you can do. If you play with a group of people you know it's even more fun. Destruction, chaos etc.

There is all kinds of mini games too. Gang territory, Deathmatch, car racing etc.

Sweet I'll be doing that.

X2

I haven't cared for the last few gta games so I'm looking forward to this one.

You're going to do it on the PS3 though, right? Most of us here are on Xbox.

Most likely since the graphics will be better but I do miss playing on line with your goofy ass.

As long as we aren't playing soccer, it's all good..

I'll play you in Tiger woods

I don't have it. I've been meaning to get it though because Matt (Strokd) plays it a lot.

PS3 is where it's at!

Graphics are slightly better on PS3, but online play on Xbox is FAR superior to PS3 and that will change with the release of Xbox One which is going to have insane graphics and gameplay.

I cant believe i plan on buying this. I thought is would never buy another gta game after gta4. I rarely played it. after hearing about gta5, I started playing gta4 again. lol. now im real excited about gta5.

I just want to get rich in the game and get a plane. When I could fly on San Andreas, game was basically over for me, I just like flying around dive bombing people while they are shooting at me.

Well now you will be able to do it in everything from a helicopter, jet fighter and scare the shit out of everyone with a giant 747 coming at them! lol.

747! hell yes!

I remember us rollin 4 deep with Jason hanging out the window blasting at cops on GTA4... that shit cracked me the hell up.:rockit:

O Geez here we go. Please explain how it is Far superior.. Other than having to pay for it lol

And ps4 will still have better graphics that the xbone so they are still behind
