Did anyone notice the Time Dilation/ Slow-Down when Franklin brought up the weapon wheel at 03:14 in the video. Should make changing weapons on the fly in mid-combat a little bit easier. Overall the combat looked a lot more fluid, smoothly blind firing from cover and transitioning very fast into the combat jog picking off targets along the way. Then changing weapons in the blink of an eye ( from the enemies perspective ), to continue taking out targets with a different weapon more suitable for distant targets ( going from the pistol to the carbine assault rifle ). If you couple the Weapon-Wheel Slow-Down effect, with Michaels Bullet-Time ability. Michael could almost permanently be able to slow down time and remain untouchable. ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ Also wouldn't it be cool if you could influence the Stock Market. Like say going into one of the Clothing Department Stores and shooting all the customers and staff. The massacre is then on the next News Bulletin, and the Stock in the company takes a big nose dive. After which you decide to capitalize on the misfortune by buying as much stock in the company as you can afford. Then you go back to the store a week later and buy a ton of hats, shirts, pants, watches and chains, worth thousands of dollars to boost the company's share price back up. And once the shares have more then doubled their original price, you sell all your stock in the company, and double or perhaps even triple your money...

Hopefully you're right. And there's a lot more RockStar is holding back...

Not necessarily, just because 1000 customizations sounds like a big number, doesn't really mean that the actual customization is that in-depth. Remember that this number covers every car and bike in the game, so how many customizations would each individual vehicle have/ and how deep is the customizability of each vehicle. I saw the customization for the vehicles, and I wasn't overly impressed by the one tone colour scheme for the car shown ( even though there was 75 of them ). Where were the more complex options for decaling? Or the Body Kits? Where was the in-depth paint job customization? All that was shown was a one colour option similar to the random colour change at Pay-n-Spray's in GTA lV. Maybe RockStar couldn't afford to take the time to render all the possible variations of paintjobs needed for more in-depth customization ( which would sacrifice graphical performance ). So far I would say that the car customization looks like it is relatively shallow ( kind of like San Andreas's vehicle customization was ).

It looked like an open-world Free Roam to me, with at least 20 people ( probably 24 judging by the Dev numbers ). I know I saw up to 19 people, and the others could of been out of camera view.

Same. I didn't think much about the rectangular mini-map either. Hopefully the HUD looks a little more polished when the game's released.

Even the tyres on the BMX bikes look great. I guess there will be a 'real' visual difference between on and off-road tyres for cars and motorbikes as well.

Not only Property Investment but a fully fledged Stock Market as well. The Car Customization looks great as well, same with the clothing and tattoos...

They got rid of it permanently 2-3 years ago. Oh, well there you go then. Do we have to watch this Twit with the dumb haircut? Does anyone else have a link, minus the Douchebag?

It's 07:15 AM in New York right now, and the Trailer comes out at 10:00AM. So 3 hours from now. And while it's 7:15AM in New York, it's 9:15PM right now in Sydney. Which means if we count forward 3 hours, it should be out at midnight in Sydney. And if Perth is 2 hours behind Sydney, then it should come out at 10:00PM there. *Edit Didn't know that Perth was only 2 hours behind us in Winter, don't you guys have Daylight Savings?

Sorry my mistake, it will happen exactly 3 hours before midnight then. So 09:00PM in Perth, if it's midnight in Sydney. Or 10:00PM if it's 01:00AM in Sydney. This Time-Zone shit is always confusing. it would be easier if they just put the times for each individual city...

If it releases at Midnight here in Sydney, and Perth is 3 hours behind us. Edit: then it's 09:00PM in Perth

Thanks. I guess I'll be waiting up with everyone else in Oz to watch it then.

What time is it released in Australia ( East Coast )? *Edit O.K if it's 06:00AM in New York now, and it's released at 10:00AM there. And it's 08:00PM here in Sydney, that means... Midnight, O.K. then.

I think the reason why we are getting early info on GTA V's Multiplayer ( along with the gameplay trailer ), is because Rockstar is very confident of the product they have. They want to make sure that every gamer knows that GTA V will be their best game ever, and will probably end up being one of the best games of this generation. I don't know about you guys, but the Boldness Rockstar is showing tells me that they have a game which is exponentially better than GTA lV. And that's saying something, because GTA lV is a 10 out of 10 game.

Maybe there could be a deep sea trench in the ocean, far off the coast. Inside the trench is a deep chasm, and you need a submarine to reach it's deepest depths. Eventually the chasm opens out into a huge area of inky blackness. You journey further into the seemingly endless depths, only to discover massive structures made out of an unknown material, which look to be the ruins of an ancient civilization. But why was this seemingly advanced and hidden city abandoned? Suddenly you hear noises somewhere in the pitch black darkness behind you... ...unsettling and disturbing noises... You feel like something malevolent is watching you, following and stalking your every movement. Waiting for the right time to strike. To be continued...

It feels like the release date is right around the corner. O.K. now Rockstar, enough is enough. Stop teasing us with this wallpaper bullshit, this artwork has been around for ages. It's time for the Gameplay vid or the Online info... Sometimes I think Rockstar just does this to spark conversations in the forums on the various gaming websites. And then sit-back with an evil smirk on their face, watching as the unwashed masses make uninformed statements and stupid theories regarding the content of this great Juggernaut. * Not that all of you are unwashed or stupid...

Even though the information in the Vid is second hand ( and at the beginning of the vid there was MW3 bullshit ), it sounds plausible enough to be true ( the vertigo effects sounded pretty interesting as well ).

Link to the article/ statement?

I reckon that Rockstar will show something different to what's been shown previously...

Great news. I'm excited for the gameplay footage, Rockstar isn't stupid, I don't think that anything major will be spoiled ( plot-wise/ or mid to late game wise ). Also finding more out about GTA V's Online should be interesting, I can't wait to see what they've got. Probably the best part of news was the bit about you being able to visit the other characters, and being able to annoy or hospitalize them sounded pretty great. First thing I'm gonna do is switch to Franklin or Michael, and pay Trevor a visit. Then I'll beat his red-neck ass to a bloody pulp with a baseball bat, HA!!! ... ... I mean who didn't want to do the same thing with Roman?...

Watch Dogs looks overrated because ~ 1) The main character ( what's his face ) looks like one of the most boring people ever to be invented in gaming. Very one dimensional and unimaginative. We don't know much about his back story so far, but from what I've seen of his personality in the Demos/ Trailers it's ZZzz.... 2) The game world seems bland and uninviting ( especially when compared to GTA V's world ). And Watch Dogs NPC's lack character and personality compared to GTA's funny, differentiated and outspoken NPC's. 3) The hacking ability looks tacky and gimmicky. With a bland interface ( reminds me of Assassins Creed's Future/ Desmond world interface ), and a limited usefulness. I don't know how they will keep hacking feeling fresh over the course of the game, before it starts to feel stale. I really hope that it enhances the gameplay, but I have yet to see it being used in an imaginative and interesting way. 4) The missions look very linear, in a game promising to be very open in nature ( gameplay wise ) I could go on, but I'll just state that GTA V still looks a whole lot more promising... And on the second statement, I agree that it's difficult to compare very different games like these. With one being a Linear Post Apocalyptic third person shooter ( which is heavily character and story driven ), and the other is an Open World Crime/ Action, third person shooter with multiple protagonists. But both will eventually be compared to one another for the Game of the Year title, so if both are of the same quality ( and GTA V looks great ), and given the length of both games, which would you rather have? A 10 hour unbelievable game, or a 100 hour unbelievable game ( which could possibly be more if the Online component for V is good ). I can tell you that the longer game with more features will win my vote every time...

What is so good about it? And do you think it will be better than GTA V?

I'm about to start playing this game soon ( playing Company of Heroes 2 right now ). And I'm hearing from everywhere that 'The Last of Us' will be Game of The Year, putting it above future 2013 games like GTA V, Watch Dogs ( which still looks kind of overrated to me ) and Rome 2. So I'm just wondering, is the game that good.

Hopefully we can Dual Wield Pistols, SMGs and Shotguns again. It would also be cool if you could fire shotguns while driving a car, or riding a bike...
