Where are those posters from?

 

Not sure, they look like billboard posters as they look like they've been pasted to a surface. I get all my info from gtaforums / reddit.

 

As for the map, I was hoping for area 51 from Andreas :( but damn, 3 airports :p

I do hope car physics are the same as in GTA IV - difficult driving is great on off-road tracks.

Maybe we will meet old gta characters from Vice City or so.

 

They are going to be similar but they are going to be easier to control. So you can actually use the handbrake and slide a car properly. Unlike GTAIV.

I think it has been compared to Midnight Club LA.

 

 

I'm really conflicted about getting GTA V. On one hand it looks awesome and on the other i want to hold off till it's released for the next-gen consoles (which it obviously will) and i don't want to get it for both.

 

If they gave a timeframe or even confirmed it then, yes. It would be the way to go. I can't see it appearing till next year on PC and Next Gen. Do you think you can wait that long?

Im torn for different reasons. It looks good to me but after the stinker that was GTA4 im not sure i want to risk it. That game got perfect reviews from everywhere and it was one of the most boring games I have played, such a disappointment.

It's looking like after every passing day, the less i can wait. So basically, i'll have it by the end of the month :p

I kind of agree with you about GTA4.  Even though i completed the main storyline i didn't really stay to do anything else. I'm going to wait for some gameplay videos but from what i've seen so far it looks like it's a step in the right direction and the environments look more varied and fun.

big open areas are easy to make, but there is a lot less to see and do pre square mile comparing the city to majority of the map.

The 'empty' areas are nice but how empty are they? GTA:San andreas pulled it off decently, if that. No one really traveled in the big open desert (tip top of the map mostly) but now there is a lot more space. I just hope the roads don't feel long and boring with nothing to do around them. I hope there is more to these long road besides getting from point A to point B.

I actually really enjoyed just aimlessly driving down the roads in SA. I hope that there are some sections that take 3+ min to drive down, and nothing to really see. It reminds me of the outside world..... just without that awful sun.

One of my favorite parts of San Andreas were the long useless roads to nowhere... And then you stumble upon a little Gas station or something and it's just so comfy to me. I'm so excited for this game, damnit!

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By zikalify · Posted

      Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By snowy owl · Posted

      I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
