The idea of slowing down time isn't new to the series, you could pick up the adrenaline pill in GTA 3 and VC, this just seems like a more character integrated mechanic, which is a smart move I think as it means accessing the feature is streamlined.
I never used those pills If they are reliant on player feedback (pressing a button to activate it), it will be something I can happily play without.
I seem to be the only person who doesn't like these special abilities. They don't have any place in a GTA game for me.
Im a little skeptical about these "special abilities" but im willing to give them a chance before making judgement.
- Love the fact we have a musical score for certain events
- Los Santos Customs including modding the handling of cars
- No more earthquakes, bombs on bridges etc...cutting off the map, fully open from the start
- Like how you will have to employ other goons to help with heists and give them a cut of the loot depending on their abilities
I'm stoked for this game now, thank you for the info Rockstar, i can't wait to jack a expensive car and go for a drive in the Vinewood hills looking down over the city of Los Santos listening to some amazing music on the radio.
September 17th can't come soon enough, i'll be booking time off work for this.

It will just be activated like the Dead Eye mechanic in Red Dead I imagine, so yeah you can not even use it, there might be a few in game instances where it kicks in autmoatically, but other than that I reckon it will be completely upto the player.
The article didn't mention what the police will be like
The police system has been reworked slightly, it's still based on the area circle as seen in GTA IV, but Police AI now have a Field of Vision, meaning you can hide within the circle area and the police will carry out a search ala Metal Gear Solid, and the circle area will slowly reduce.
So if you're good at stealth, you can dive around and make your way outside of the circle area as long as a cop doesn't see you and radio in.
Helicopters eliminate this side of it though, police will throw hand gestures to the bird in the sky when they want the area reported on, however this will be easier at Night as Police Helicopters will have to use a searchlight and go over the map to see things.

I agree on the abilities and on the 2 points I've left in there, music is key for me and the idea I can explore without being chased by the Army and shot down for going somewhere too early.
I hope they've got Conrad Twitty for my jaunts into the countryside and Lynard Skynnard for my flying trips

Is is still the same levels of force? I'd quite like police bikes (pedal and motorised) since most US cities have those now and I do hope the AI is less...well thick
It's the small random things that I like the sound of. For example, there are tourist buses that are parked up which, if you climb aboard, can give you a tour of vinewoods celebrity homes.
Little touches like this is what makes GTA so great.

Always wanted this so, again, I'm very happy with the new information
The more i see/read about this the more perfect it sounds
It's beginning to seem like the game i've always wanted and i have no doubt rockstar will deliver
I've always thought what if EA (for example) got all there Dev teams together for a major open world game it'd be amazing
You could have EA sports do little football/basketball etc tournaments or maybe just courts that'll work like fifa/nba street, you could have criterion handle the races/ driving and so on for the other elements
Now it seems that rockstar is the company that is going to make my dream come true and mix all the elements from there best games to make an open world game that exactly feels like a real open world and where every element works

Not sure about the same level of force but the AI is suppose to be MUCH better. Plus, you can hide from them if you have a wanted level & they will search areas until the wanted level drops.
I also read that when in persuit they will attempt to flank you to stop you getting away.
TBH whilst some of the features excite me, there's more features that I really have zero interest in. Having said that most of the time I won't be playing the game the way it's meant to be played, I'm more of an explorer and a discoverer than anything else. The things I'm really looking forward too is exploring the vast landscape, the wilderness, hunting animals and going scuba diving whilst soaking up the awesome weather effects and details. I hope you can ride horses a la RDR.
Yeah GTAV has now got me sucked in even though I said it wouldn't.
I do know what you mean Tysonstorm, that GTA:SA thing of going somewhere to do something, and after 2 hours of unscripted fun . Forgetting what it was you were planning to do in the first place.
What's everyone planning to do first on GTA5 then? My current plan is play it properly and do missions for a couple of hours, then move onto side-missions for a little bit (if there's any available from the start), before jacking a nice sports car and spending at least an hour just driving around taking in the sights. If I can find a plane I may do it by air

I agree. Doubt I'll get much use out of them.
Loving the sound of everything else I've just read. Stupidly happy about buying property :cool:

All demos that the press reported on yesterday were on the PlayStation 3.

Why is it not September yet ?
Yeah GTAV has now got me sucked in even though I said it wouldn't.
I've visions of a police chase and helicopters bearing down on me as I gallop through downtown Los Santos on a horse.
I'm not fussed on buying property tbh. Seems a bit of a waste of time
You can buy businesses which generate income for you. Or buy the taxi firm and get free cab rides !
That's what I thought! Great news. Also love reading about meth dealers in the desert. (BB anyone?)
A couple of shots from that article look so good!

Now I'm REALLY buzzing about this game. :D
So the same as Saints Row?
As long as I don't have to make friends, I really detested taking people bowling...
I just want a happier story, I was suicidal at the end of GTA4
