Rockstar have this lunchtime released ten brand new screenshots for the upcoming Grand Theft Auto V. They look nice enough, if not a little vague, but there’s a definite case of familiarity with the locations and the settings.
The game, currently scheduled for September, appears to be utilising its development team with the extra chunk of time since the delay on some improved lighting and atmosphere, and hopefully the gameplay will match up.
The game is still only announced for PS3 and Xbox 360.

More of the same with nicer graphics?
Kind of feel they’re still releasing a game that peaked on PS2 with Vice City/San Andreas, depending on your opinion.
Basically, Rockstar show some stuff which further confirms GTAV isn’t even 1/10th as interesting as Watch Dogs.

Watch Dogs looks boring as hell to me. Different strokes, I guess.
GTA looks lovely, although no way they’re PS3 shots.

Seems similar-ish to me…. open world action shooter, which will inevitably reduce down to going from map marker to map marker.
One is probably the formula we’ve seen in III, VC, IV, LatD & BoGT before it… whilst the other most likely is all that & more through having this extra layer of interaction with practically every single thing in the city itself, which I think seems a lot more interesting through all the possibilities.

and that’s not mentioning all the possibilities of shared instances like Journey, where you drift in & out of other people’s ‘worlds’

I want GTA to be GTA not something else would buy it over watch dogs any day.

Scuba diving is new, well I haven’t seen it before.
No news of a PS4 release :-(

Looking good. Roll on September!

Meh, after GTA4 I just can’t get excited about this game, especially seeing as Sleeping Dogs was better in every possible way
BrendanCalls
Sleeping Dogs, did more or less the same thing as GTAIV, except it didn’t feel like a drag all the time. It was fun to play, GTA IV was something I had to get through
Airiaen
I’d say otherwise with Sleeping Dogs, boring as fuck.
skibadee
Sleeping Dogs was weak sauce compared to a GTA game.
BrendanCalls
Fair play, horses for courses, I guess

For me GTA IV was the most boring game i have ever had the displeasure of playing but on the other hand i found Sleeping Dogs an absolute joy to play.
I found Sleeping Dogs just did everything better, from the storyline,combat system, right down to the soundtrack.
Though as everyone said before me different strokes for different folks.

Agree with Skibadee, stick with the winning formula.
Maybe just a tad, a tiny bit less serious than IV, although i found IVs style quite enjoyable(i own SR3 btw:)
S.Dogs had the worst driving handling, i’ve ever experienced.
I felt it was pale in every aspect, in comparison to True Crime L..A.
It’s the attention to detail, that I love about GTA(RDR.)
eg. when your in a car & dialogue is present, the characters mouth move (in pefrect sync too,) something not present in S.Dogs. The crazy amount of detail in every building & area.
Well written character dialogue = I always end up caring about GTA characters. S.Dogs did have neat CQC, i’ll give it that.
I’ll be buying W.Dogs(ps4,) & will hopefully love it, but no upcoming game excites me more, than a new GTA.
I can see me buying the PS3 ver & PS4 ver should it arrive.
As for shared instances, i’m sure I read that you may be able to jump into & interact with a friends game, but don’t quote me on that.
*But hey, life would be dull if we didn’t have different tastes & preferences.

The more I see the more I’m not interested. GTA IV was OK, but it wasn’t a patch on any of the previous games, and GTA V looks equally as OK.
Im also getting tired of seeing just screenshots, that stunt works once, maybe twice, but 3 times…NO! I’d rather see nothing than be bombarded by context-less, all be it very pretty, screenshots.

I’m having a self imposed ban, on all trailers for franchises i love.
When IV eventually released, there wasn’t much I hadn’t seen, due to its marketing. (i resisted the MGS5 trailer today:) I watched the first trailer for W.Dogs, which sold me immediately, so a lock down on that, same with Last of Us. Err i’m rambling on now, you get my drift.
yiddo
Meh. Don’t see where all the negativity is coming from. The screenshots are still ace and still show us some key things, such as the scubadiving, skydiving and weapons like the minigun. Can’t wait for this game. This, Watch Dogs, and The Last Of Us all at the end of the year, as well as being graced with the likes of Bioshock Infinite so far. Who could also forget the PS4 at the end of the year. This year will be good (albeit expensive) for gaming.

Interestingly, I’ve always enjoyed the franchise but am more excited about tooling around in multiplayer (with friends) than the SP side of things. However, I know I’ll probably love that to bits too. It’s just that the franchise really needs to push itself, as a game, I feel.
Hopefully, we’ll see that with this one and whatever they bring out on the next-gens. :-)

Spent many an hour in IV MP. I’m sure they’ll raise it up a notch or two. MP mini games & the ability to jump into a friends SP, then they’ve nailed it imo.

Bollocks, without thinking I’ve looked at the screenshots and broken my personal hype embargo. Ah well, it looks great, very much this gen but vast and pretty. As long as the potential for mucking around is high in a GTA game then I’m happy, that’s what they’re best at.

i hope they make it ewasier to hijack boats from in the water, i dont care if it looks ridiculous and seems to teleport you half of the way there, nothing more annoying than being stuck in a vast expanse of water and having to spend the time swimming to shore. Even just add a function to teleprt to shore and I would be happy.
double-o-dave
You mean to tell me you never summoned the dolphin?! That used to happen to me ’til I realised if you hold the left and right trigger together in the water it calls a dolphin which you can grab hold of which will swim you back to shore in about a qtr of the time.

Lot’s of people here commenting that Sleeping Dogs has made them lose interest in this, I haven’t played it but I need to get around to. GTA V still looks brilliant, although I’ll hold on for the PC release (whenever that will be).
double-o-dave
Opposite for me. Sleeping Dogs reminded me how good GTA was although saying that I didn’t give Sleeping Dogs much of a chance. The fighting was well done but all the characters seemed to move/act too similar like how I found the enemies in the PS3 exclusive electric bloke game what I can’t remember the name of & can’t be bothered to google. Then I got put off by the vehicles which seemed poor to me so the disc got ejected and has been gathering dust since. Doubt I even picked up a bronze trophy.

BOOOORING ! Same old shit, every….single…..time

I loved GTA IV, loved Sleeping Dogs and will probably love both GTA V and Watch Dogs (what’s with the dogs?). Seems I’m in the winning camp!
