Maybe it could be a new custom made city not based on any real life city or previous GTA city?

Those complaining of PC performance issues on GTA IV should go get EFLC, its much better optimised for PC imo.

well i'm pee your pants excited for this. i put about 80-100 hours into gta4 and the first expansion. haven't even played gay tony yet...

:D You are so excited you are going to pee someone elses pants? I like your style (Y)

I bought the gta pack when it was super cheap on steam the other day but I've never actually played beyond GTA2, now I have the games I guess I should start :) Should I play through them in order or just go for the most recent one?

They should put an iPhone instead, so we could set it in Airplane mode to stop receiving calls and emails.

You can turn it off.

BTW, this is another San Andreas, in the same universe as GTA4, and the gang turf stuff will be part of the multiplayer.

Obligatory take-with-a large-grain-of-salt disclaimer applies:

Grand Theft Auto V Details Leaked?

It's always impossible in these situations to tell whether its a 14 year old with too much time on their hands or whether its a genuine leak, I'll leave it for you to decide.

As always in these situations, take with an absolute pinch of salt. Especially since the source on this one is 4chan, the poster of course being anonymous. The person who posted the above claims to be a Rockstar employee under NDA, leaking a bunch of classified information at first oppurtunity - bless him.

It seems this individual is promising far more variety in the gameplay than was found in GTAIV, more to do outside of the base storyline is basically what the fans complained about last time round. It also seems that a return to San Andreas is possible. That would be a huge area to explore.

Let's face it, everything in this post is just what the fans want to hear - a decent PC port being the height of that - and unless Rockstar have REALLY got their act together, this isn't going to happen.

Still, I think we're all secretly hoping this is true. Stay tuned, November 2nd, for the first look at GTA V.

Vice City and San Andreas are the 2 best games, it doesn't really matter what order you play them it's not a linear story, each game is based off a different character but it's the same world so there's a lot of connections to the people from the other games. I've started playing them again but I'm finding GTA3 to be a bit tedious.

If the leak details are true, it will be great. GTA San Andreas was my favorite game of the series and GTA IV was too realistic something which was out of sync of a GTA game.

I am very excited for a new Grand Theft Auto game, no matter where it takes place. I love the franchise, and I'm hoping it is set in San Andreas. It would be incredible to see the state updated for current-generation hardware. Plus, they could do a lot more with the game again. I'm a bit skeptical of co-op story, because to me, Grand Theft Auto has always been the sort of 'one man army' story. You have AI buddies at times but their contribution is so minor that it still feels like the protagonist against every other organization and the law.

2012 would be a good period to set the game in, though I have no idea what year GTA IV was set in. I'm assuming 2008 or so, to fit with the technology and the vehicle design, but I'm not entirely sure with that one. If it's a bit more lighthearted than its predecessor it'll win a lot of fans over again. I loved GTA IV, but it seemed divisive.

All in all, Grand Theft Auto V is a game I am definitely hyped up for.

Really hope it's in Las Vegas, seems a really cool environment to have GTA in.

If it's San Andreas it will be, because of Las Venturas. ;)

I loved San Andreas because of the 3 different cities and the massive space in between. No more Liberty city! It's just boring and depressing really. I miss the excitement from Vice City.

If they can combine the graphics of GTA4, the gameplay and stories of San Andreas/Vice City that would be an awesome game. Yes, I know it's a lot to ask ... lol

This.

I really want to see GTA V take place in San Andreas with a decent storyline. I liked how the stories of 3, VC and SA were intertwined, but I hated the poor and isolated story of GTA IV.

      Good point Anti-spoofing protection for cloud mailboxes Anti-spoofing technology in Microsoft 365 specifically examines forgery of the From header field (also known as the 5322.From address, From address, or P2 sender), because email clients show the From header value as the message sender. When Microsoft 365 has high confidence the From header is forged, the message is identified as spoofed. https://learn.microsoft.com/en...g-protection-spoofing-about
    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I sort of agree with you on that. I had a telescope - a real hefty thing, although only around 500CHF - that got me so fascinated about the stars and planets. I would stare for hours, amazed that I could see the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn in "realtime" (quotations because, y'know, speed of light and whatnot). A friend of mine has a telescope like the one mentioned in the review, and the pictures are amazing to look at. But there is something missing for me. I may as well just go to NASA's website and look through their gallery.

      As opposed to catching bad press because it's the engine's fault? The engine has all the tools a dev needs to optimize their game, Epic isn't gonna hold their hand to make sure they use them. Also, Epic isn't forcing anyone to use Lumen, Nanite or super high resolution meshes and textures. Just because Nanite can render meshes with millions of polygons doesn't mean you should use it like that, in fact, Epic recommends you avoid doing that. Most of the stuttering can easily be fixed by cutting down on unique materials by using master materials, using instanced meshes, generating a PSO cache, pre-compiling every shader before loading the game and also managing what must be loaded and unloaded at runtime. It's up to the developer to set all that up properly.

      I think it depends on what you're looking for to do, and the time you have to spare. With my Dwarf 3, I easily spend 3-4 hour sessions; half an hour driving to an un-light polluted place, another half hour unpacking and setting up the smart scope + tripod for equatorial tracking, then 15 more minutes mucking around with settings and shooting calibration frames, spending a few hours shooting, merging with past photo sessions, etc. It's crazy how time flies and I often get home later than I expected. It's something I still need to set aside a good part of an evening to do, all in all. For one session, where you often need like four for best results when it comes to deep space objects. Even with a smart scope like Dwarf 3, regular non-astro photography is still way more approachable to people getting into photography. I find this is a time consuming niche no matter how I go about it. With practice, I can probably begin cutting time here but I think where smart scopes find their home is among people who love to shoot the night sky but don't have the spare time to go deep with the "navigator level" attunement to the night sky itself in addition to everything else. Having said this, _if_ you have even more time to spend on this hobby, it will probably be even more rewarding to do it more by hand and learn the skies and the details of how it all works.
