I hope they improve the behind the wheel view to look something like this:

It would be interesting if they did have a in-car camera angle like that.

Now i wonder wonder how far they will integrate the GTA-San Andreas character alteration (Beefing your character up, or making him fat etc.).

BTW, I'm looking forward to walk around on the Statue of Liberty as I remember it was back in Deus Ex

Is this New York or Liberty city? What are your takes? I saw the "Liberteen" which tells me that it could be Liberty city, and all the Cluckin-Bell and the phony ad's indicate that it is some revised version of a fictional GTA city. I'm not sure if there is a famous church in NYC like the one depicted in the trailer, but i do rember the one that looked similar to it in GTA3.

However the statue of liberty, Chrysler building, Time square-esk area, say it could be NYC.

Personally i think it's a revised or an enhanced version of Liberty City. I mean, for all we know that Statue of Liberty is some dude in a robe holding a beer and a laptop (It was facing the opposite direction). :laugh:

How about St. Patrick's Cathedral.....?

I reckon the new GTA will feature all the landmarks of New York City, or they wouldn't have been shown in the trailer...

To me itis a really blow that it's in Liberty City again blah.

Hasn't Rockstar said many times that all GTAs that follow the numbers are in Liberty City. That is the main story line.

The GTAs with subtitles (Vice City, San Andreas) are side stories in other cities.

im not sure if i like the fact that it is liberty city, i means its a good town in number three but to go from a enormous map from san andreas to the small map of liberty city will be a bit weird, i do hope they have expanded somewhat somehow... i mean i wonder were all the the new monuments like the time square bit will go...

Literally just watched the trailer.. the engine there looks absolutely stunning! I doubt that any of that was pre-rendered, and I reckon that was a very quick showcase of the game engine. Why else would they quickly flash through parts of interior shots, show complex structures, busy streets, and demonstrations of amazing real time lighting effects?

I think it looks brilliant. Can't wait to play it. Even if it is 7 months away!!

    • What browser do you prefer to use, and why?

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with adblockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Opera Air'. It still has some bloat, but nowhere near as much as Brave browser, for example. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. I have a system wide Adblocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the the web browser, but over the whole thing. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt adblocker because of that.
