What the **** happened?

 

If you thinking about the trees, then I think it's draw distance... maybe the screenshot made on the other console, than the trailer. Or they realized that the consoles can't handle that much tree...

Textures are also MASSIVELY different.

 

As I said on here back in May, the screenshots were most likely taken on a development PC with all the niceties (AA, high resolution textures etc.) bumped up.

 

The official gameplay trailer, however, is actual PS3 footage.

yea, there was no way it was going to look like the screen shots, they are waaaay to crisp.

[TheLegendOfMart]

Pre-ordered on Amazon as soon as I saw this gameplay trailer.

 

Since when do games ever look like the bullshots they release, I'm surprised that people are surprised.

Agreed, promo shots are always going to look better than the actual gameplay but as the gameplay is moving when you see it, it'd be pretty inaccurate to screenshot it and use it as a promoshot. Comparing Apples and Oranges and all that.

A whole bunch of new screenshots here:

First thing I'm going to do is run up to a Police car sat at a red, and try and pry open the door to steal it.

 

Always ends well.

I really hope they release a PC version. Current-gen hardware sucks so much now.

Shame player count hasn't been confirmed. If it's the same as previous, that will be disappointing.

GTA Online to launch October 1, two weeks after GTA 5

Create and share your own races and deathmatches at launch, more later on

Grand Theft Auto Online will be delivered about two weeks after the release of Grand Theft Auto 5.

 

In a new Grand Theft Auto Online interview with CVG, Rockstar North president Leslie Benzies said GTA Online could have launched at the same time as the main game, but that the studio considers it to be "a different entity, a separate thing".

 

He explained: "It'll be GTA Online; it's not part of GTA 5. Obviously it's set in the GTA 5 engine, but it's going to grow and evolve into its own thing." Access to GTA Online will come for free with every retail copy of GTA 5.

 

 

Benzies went on to discuss plans to release a comprehensive set of creator tools for GTA Online, although he said Rockstar doesn't want to overwhelm users at launch.

"Initially, you'll be able to create races and deathmatches, which are probably the simplest. And then, over time, when we feel comfortable that people are ready to get the new creators, they will be released. So it'll be a trickle, but it'll be a constant release of new creators and new content. We don't want to overdo it. It's a complex system.

"That's another reason for the two week delay between single-player and Online. We want to give people an opportunity to actually get their heads around what's happened, because even single-player is a big advancement from the old games. There's a lot of new things to learn."

GTA Online will be accessible through a fourth character on GTA 5's character Switch Wheel, which will become available after two weeks.

"When it launches, you'll have an extra character on your Switch Wheel. Instead of choosing Franklin, Michael or Trevor, you'll select your multiplayer character and you'll be sucked straight in there," Benzies explained.

GTA Online may arrive in the form of "a tiny download", he added, "but it'll just be a code. We've just got to figure out how that will work with Sony and Microsoft."

For more details. read the full Grand Theft Auto Online interview. For our impressions of the online game, read our GTA Online first look preview.

Rockstar has confirmed a US and European GTA 5 release date of September 17 on Xbox 360 and PS3. The game will launch in Japan on October 10.

I was expecting GTA Online to be good but it sounds amazing.

You can see why they take so long to develop these games. It is going to be packed with content!

Shame player count hasn't been confirmed. If it's the same as previous, that will be disappointing.

Its 16. 

 

Grand Theft Auto Online is a dynamic and persistent online world for 16 players that begins by sharing gameplay features, geography and mechanics with Grand Theft Auto V, but will continue to expand and evolve after its launch with new content created by Rockstar Games and the Grand Theft Auto community. Grand Theft Auto Online takes the fundamental Grand Theft Auto concepts of freedom, ambient activity and mission-based gameplay and makes them available to multiple players in an incredibly detailed and responsive online world.

[Crisp]

Its 16. 

 

Lame, it's going to be P2P again then aswell.

[Lamp0]

Why would you have assumed other wise?

[Crisp]

Why would you have assumed other wise?

 

Because it's 2013, not 2005.

 

P2P limits the player count, and with GTA V to have such a massively vast world, it could have better potential to support more than just 16 players.

It's just a shame Rockstar didn't hold out for Xbox One / PS4 and their server support, but as I said previously a few pages back, my main reason for buying this game is single player so I don't really care too much.

Doesn't the hardware limit player count? I certainly never expected more than 16 players.

 

I still think it's a bit short sighted to say "because it's 2013". Just because there is a large map doesn't mean there needs to be a huge player count, Also keep in mind that the world is already full of A.I.

[Crisp]

Disc's are being made :p

 

 

[Lamp0]

Where did those images come from? I assume a "leak" is imminent.
