Agreed, but they never have been on the cutting edge of pushing graphics. What they have been on the edge of is fitting as much shit into a game as possible, and putting decent graphics over the top of it. I wouldn't single out any GTa for consolitis, I would single them all out. Over the top GTA's didn't push much and I don't think there was a ton of mods, and when GTA finally came out in 3D, they pushed it heavily for the PS2. So since GTA has gone 3D, it really has been a console game. But I still loved almost all of them.

They could easily do more with the engine but it needs to be optimised and i suspect the game size will be massive.
I've played them all (well all since GTA III, played a few of the older ones ab it), and honestly, I disliked SA the most. I didn't like the neighbor hoods, and I didn't like the main character. And none of the cities really drove me that crazy. But with how detailed they can make it now, maybe it will impress me more.

And like said, check out Red Dead, even on consoles, it's a really impressive looking game.

I kind of agree, not so much on going back to Miami. But I was hoping to see a place we had not seen before.

Well from the trailer V looks like an entire new San Andreas.

Uncharted 3 is visually stunning not only for PS3 but is very comparable to PC visuals

I blame the Xbox360 for GTAs limitations

I liked the trailer. Seems like perhaps now you'll start as a wise guy instead of having to move your way up the food chain. Either way, I'm excited. The story is what makes the GTA series great!

Considering that NY and Miami have been redone multiple times, I don't see what the fuss is about going back out to LA. It's only the second time in the series, and I think it's going to have a much different feel than SA anyway.

That's missing the point lol. In GTA V he's saying he left that ''line of work'' for a better life yes they all had that ''line of work'', but Tommy Vercetti would be the only one that it would make sense as the voice sounds like him and it would make more sense for him to move from Vice City to San Andreas as opposed to any other character.

I'm not saying they aren't all criminals in series.

San Andreas is a good choice for a setting. Vice City is only so big.

I still hope for a Liberty City - Vice City - San Andreas all-in-one game. Leave your mansion in Shoreside Vale, drive through Staunton Island, board a cruiser in Portland, ship to Ocean Beach Vice City, get drunk in the Malibu Club, board a plane at Escobar Int. and fly to Las Venturas... ah yes one is allowed to dream.

The press release specifically only mentions the city of Los Santos, and its "surrounding hills, countryside, and beaches." Presumably this will still be a fairly large environment, as the release also calls this the "largest and most ambitious game Rockstar has yet created."

Still excited

I wish they would add Real cars/Police cars in this one. I get sick of modding the shit out of each GTA. Police chase and pull overs would be sweet.

Yes, they did a great job improving the graphics of the cut scenes. In real game play I'm not expecting anything since this is still on the same console as the old one(s).

Btw, will GTA V feature only Los Santos city?



Seems quite small, doesn't it? : )

How does it seem small? If the airport wasn't on the GTA IV map Los Santos would be larger in every direction.
