You are a rather crafty fucker, sir.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas 2

California love.

California again? Meh.

Looks like they are running out of ideas. All I saw was a new coat of paint on San Andreas.

It looks great I have to say. Rockstar has a lot of ingenuity, also California has a rich culture and current events will really spice up the game. I was looking forward to something more ambitious but then I thought "Do I honestly believe I won't buy and really like this game?" Gotta get it, looks great, will be filled with great stuff.

I still say Montreal would be an amazing place for a GTA game.

Even though I think they only showed Los Santos (LA in the GTA universe) I do hope this is just like San Andreas, and we have the whole state (well.. 3 cities at least) to travel around. The shots of mountains gives me some hope about that.

*commerical *animation *wheels

Adding video to channels (Animation, Wheels) - requested by ant.

I don't mind Los Santos, considering I live in Los Santos
The lighting has been dramatically improved. GTA's RAGE engine was never the king of rendering, it's the gameplay that counts.

They mock the reality of the American Dream in IV too.

I was half expecting being able to play all over North America. East to West, Canada straight down to Mexico.

i am far from impressed and excited ):

Do you play as Tommy Vercetti?

LA doesn't have wind generators like what they show, the only place in Southern California that's known for them is out near Palm Springs. The shot with the hikers and the mountains makes me think of Big Bear or Yosemite>> ^EMPIRE:

I like how GTA 5 is actually more like GTA 11 if you count Lost, and Ballad....

Upvote for the Ogden's Nut Gone Flake.

At the first chord I was like, no.. way..

I never thought I'd hear the Small Faces in a GTA clip.>> ^paganif1:

Since Vice City, I've only played the GTA games for the talkshow radio.

GTA III was the last time there was any innovation in this series. I'm tired of sandbox missions with a half-assed organized crime drama throughline. I'd rather watch Goodfellas or something where there's real writing and acting. Rockstar games are overhyped and underdeveloped.

You...or ANYONE do better. Seriously we've seen other sandbox games try and fail...this is like criticizing WoW for being what it is. Do something better or accept that this is as good as it gets right now and shut up.

mind trap 5.0, now with more soul crushing moral oblivion

Grand Theft Auto V: Five

argumentum ad hominem. it's not my job to do better; it's rockstar's job to do better. we weren't talking about me or anyone else until you changed the subject. i'd say that bethesda has been doing better open world games since the mid-to-late 90's, konami's silent hill series has been better at telling stories (read: making one feel like playing through a movie, which rockstar wishes they could accomplish), and just about any third-person game from tomb raider to max payne has a better 3-rd person targeting system than that broken-ass excuse rockstar has been trying to fix for 10 iterations or so. so pretty much everything that GTA has been mashing up into a huge meaningless sandbox of drivel has been done before in a less broken fashion, with more variety, less linearity, less repetitive gameplay, and without falling back on hopelessly cliche, hackneyed mafioso stereotypes and slipshod driving mechanics.

but if you wanted to give me money to write a game and pay some programmers and artists and designers, absolutely! i'd be happy to present to you a game that is better than anything rockstar has produced to date. until then, fanboy, defend this mediocre studio with some actual points instead an ad hominem logical fallacy... or just stfu about what i or anyone else should be doing better than rockstar. rockstar puts out unoriginal crap with semi-impressive tech and people like you eat it up, bloat their egos, and line the pockets of corporate lackeys that are afraid to do anything new with an old IP. there's better work out there. you must not hear about it because it's not mentioned in your gamepro subscription. so go preorder this re-hash bullshit, and rest ignorant of the knowledge that people like you are destroying this industry, and this community, by buying into the hype machine of some fake gangster-sim crap with nothing new to offer since version III. and don't tell me that I should put up with it because there's nothing better out there, wtf sort of defense is that?

I agree with you in principle but s**t man, relax. It's only the internets. >> ^jackhalfaprayer:
