GTA V

Rockstar officialy said that this was PS3 game play - WTF ? for me it's too good looking for ps3 ?

I thought the gameplay video definitely looked current-gen. The previous videos and screenshots all looked incredible, whereas this video was clearly 720p footage with no anti-aliasing — also the lighting seemed a bit more basic than previous media showed (although still great).

I'm happy it looks so great on the PS3 (and 360 hopefully), but I can't help but hope a next-gen version comes along ASAP with a boost to 1080p and anti-aliasing as we saw in all the previous media.

One thing's for sure: it's a massive step forward from GTA4. Makes sense though, Red Dead Redemption looked a lot sharper and prettier than GTA4. It looks like Rockstar have managed to figure out how to get RDR's gorgeousness to work with so much more shit happening on-screen.

i'm going to take out a vacation and lock myself inside when this game releases. i'll only open the door to the occasional fast food delivery. no sunlight, no friends, no phone, no work. i'll look like emperor palpatine by the time i'm done with this game.

That was just knj paraphrasing, Rockstar were a bit more explicit:

Just to clarify for those asking, this particular video was captured with footage from the PS3 version of the game.

Also, make sure to check out a pair of Q&A's we did with Game Informer that debuted today with more details on customization and gun combat in GTAV (along with some new screens), plus an interview for French speaking fans at Jeuxactu:

In addition to skills that improve over the course of time, each of the three playable protagonists has a unique special ability that can help get you out of sticky situations. Michael wields the slow-motion Bullet Time feature borrowed from Max Payne. Franklin can slow time when driving to navigate through sticky situations. Trevor has a rage mode that allows him to deal double the amount of damage while taking less damage. During his rage fits, he also has a unique melee attack. Rockstar says each of these special abilities is a limited resource that is best used strategically, so don't expect to spend the majority of your time shooting or driving in slow motion.

That's pretty cool. I don't like the idea of Trevor's rage ability though.

'IM ANGRY SO MY BULLETS DO MORE DAMAGE GRRRRRRRRR'

Might be nicer if he can I dunno, run faster, take more damage etc, instead. Doing more damage with bullets make it seem a bit gamey

lol. I read it as meaning his melee attacks would do more damage, like how he freaks out in the trailers and stamps on people's heads and shit. It probably will affect bullets too though.

and thank fuck it is. What ruined GTA IV was that it wasn't at all gamey.

I don't mind that his bullets do more, I'll just imagine his rage will make him more "lucky" I guess? Looking forward to seeing what these special melee attacks will be though. It's pretty funny in trailers when he's kicking the shit out of someone.

Liking how each character will be different though! Can't wait to go through this story

Oh, and for those in the UK, it's £35 in Tesco. Not a bad price at all!

UPDATE: Nvidia's European PR manager Ben Berraondo has issued Eurogamer with the following statement - it appears mentioning GTA5 was an error.

• "Please note, during our Thursday's earnings call, our investor relations team provided a list of important games that gamers are looking forward to on PC this fall, and included Grand Theft Auto 5 on that list.
• "This statement was made with the intent of expressing enthusiasm for the games industry in general, and was not intended to represent specific knowledge possessed by Nvidia. Nvidia does not have information on any possible PC version release of Grand Theft Auto or its availability. We deeply regret the error."

Knew it was too good to be true, just marketing/PR making a mistake. Still hoping for a PC version though!

Shieeeeet, the new site is great. That kind of thing totally gets me into wanting to explore that shit.

All the shots on the site are so wonderful that I'm starting to seriously consider waiting until 2014 just to see if a PS4/XBone version gets announced.
