Thats the whole map?


I swear San Andreas was bigger than that.

Or is it just one of a few?

 

[parttime crackhead]

That's the whole map. How can you know the size when there's no scale? It's definitely bigger than San Andreas.

The city at the bottom is meant to be almost the size of GTA IV.

This helps give you some idea of the scale:

Here's the GTA 4 map over the top to further compare the scale:

Ahh FUCK this isn't going to run on my n64 is it? I'm going to have to invest in a second hand PS3 innit. They look to be about 150 on eBay.

What else do ps3s do? They play DVDs, I assume... any other formats? Can I stream movies off the network or anything useful like that too?

 

[hairyharry]

Stream/play almost everything apart from play MKVs directly.
Blu Ray drive also.

 

[jancrow]

Thanks! And oh dear.

Xbox 360 will play mkv's through the media extender.

It's easily over three/four times the size.

 

[dopemegently]

The cities in San Andreas were pretty small, though. One of the best games imo

 

[Ben So Furry]

All those dark blue bits round the coast are underwater explorable areas as well don't forget.

 

[dopemegently]

Do you get to level up your skills like in SA? (You can pimp out your guns, apparently).

 

[Mendo_K]

Lets hope they change that thing when say you were on foot, you never saw any cars. Because if I get stuck in that fucking countryside ill never make it out. Im sure it will be packed with shit loads of vehicles though etc Oh and I forgot you can switch between character cant your, or can you just see what they are doing?

 

[dopemegently]

That's a great idea, switching characters. A first for GTA too.Let's hope they ditch that thing where you can't restart mid mission fails. (Remember the bank heist from the last one.crazy)..

Anyone know if it's on xbox. (Recently sold my ps3 cos I'm getting the next one).

 

[parttime crackhead]

You can switch characters, so that would be a way out of it if you get stranded in the middle of nowhere with no car.

There's apparently loads of in-mission restart points/checkpoints, so you don't have to go back to the beginning of the mission if you fail it. It is on Xbox. That's what I'm getting it on.

I see a lot of wilderness to bury a dead hooker in.

 

[ColtDan]

I like a good old drive through the cuntry side

 

[Ben So Furry]

My Amazon pre-order of GTA 5 has just changed to 'dispatching now'

Oh fuck yeah.

 

[parttime crackhead]

My ShopTo one has changed to processing. Monday delivery is definitely not happening now. You might get lucky. I don't think online retailers will take this no delivery till release date thing as seriously as they're claiming.

Microsoft have banned some poor cunt from Xbox Live just because he managed to get a hold of a legit copy of GTA early and has been posting videos online. Bit harsh.

 

[Ben So Furry]

That is harsh. Especially if he had a legit copy and paid for a gold account.

I was hoping that if it got posted today I might get it for tomorrow. Wishful thinking but that doesn't stop me being excited.

 

[parttime crackhead]

You never know man, it's possible. I've had other games a good few days before the release date.
