trevor - drug smuggling, racketeering, robberies ... micheal - high stakes jobs, assassinations, planning heists and big jobs for paying customers... franklin - entrepreneur... jack of all trades, carjacking, drug distribution, gang related jobs...

i am thinking they have separate missions, with numerous ones linked together, after finishing all the required missions for each protag to get the main mission underway that links all the characters together... i really think they want you to explore the game as 3 different characters...

i find it funny that most of us crazies here find trevor to be the character we want to get to know the most ... i think franklin offers the best story, but trevor offers the best way to get there...

who the hell is he?!

like i said, looking at some of those screenshots, there's a fuck-ton of land to navigate ... i am pretty sure they meant it when they said it was by far the biggest world they ever created...

That's where they can "cheat" by including vertical area as map area. Sort of like square footage of buildings. The footprint is a size but the floor area is that times the amount of floors. That's the way I see it. So what if we can't travel 100 miles across the map in 2 dimensions. The third dimension will add plenty of map to explore. and to be honest, in the new screens, i see plenty of roaming area, not including vertical space as you've alluded to... this map is so big that even adding a few coral reefs and snow caps won't even be noticed by most... they'll be too busy trying to do a barrel roll in between 2 trees while bigfoot waves his fist at you... @QD - yea, i don't want to see the ocean eat up a lot of the space either.. there shouldn't be much out there, unless we can head to HAWAII!!! !11!!!1!!!

i never expected character customization outside of a few clothing articles anyways... car customization is far more of a bigger story if there is any... it's called GTA afterall, cars over threads is how i see it... i want rims, not new kicks..

i really like that combo switch idea... i feel like they really tied together that multi-protag idea perfectly... the idea that you can cum and go as you please with each character just makes it really as groundbreaking as they were touting...

i think this is the last remaining photo to be found from this article...

agreed... i'd prefer it to be mission-based...

nope, and as a matter of fact, there never was any music playing while in a mission, it was always the sounds of the streets... after a while you won't even notice it, or find yourself humming it while scaling a building... i think after reading the article, they seemed to of found a good balance for the characters... you can switch to them at any time, or not at all if you don't want to... there might be a few instances where the game forces you to, but you're living the lives of 3 separate people at the same time, at any time you want... wanna blow shit up with trevor?? boom!! wanna steal some cars with franklin? boom!! wanna take the kids to the arcade?? boom!!

i decided on the cover photo... the trio of buddies, all hanging out, whether they want to or not, to do another heist... i said it before and i'll say it again, the "gasmask bandits"... they keep hinting at the gasmasks in numerous screens now...

And where the fuck have you been? yea...

i'll just post it now, we'll add more later ... thanks, dude!!

@JAMIE - OMG, nice work on getting those pics... we gotta get those up on the social networks SOON!! is that them all?? i'll start posting them now...

the only way multiple protags would work is if they're all split up into completely separate stories, perhaps playing all the way as ned luke in order to unlock the other stories... if you jump back and forth, you risk the chance of losing the connection the audience will have on the main characters...

WHAT???? put a link. it was taken down two minutes ago ... sowwy...

carry it with you, everywhere you go... give it a name, like wilson... and talk to it all the time...

BREAKING NEWS!! there are toupees in GTAV!!

yea, i wasn't really for getting all the gold bars myself... but i worked damn hard at getting 8 of them... and with that new perk added from LR or OWB, you might be able to sneak a 9th bar out... basically, DiO, there's a metal box in the hallway by the first main room, i drop off 95% of my gear there.. or 100% if you can go back there, i don't remember if i could before entering the vault (synch is the fact checker lol)... anyways, navigate in to the vault when you're ready and take what you can... i really don't think there was anything unique in there except the gold bars, so the rest of the stuff is just fodder... then once you do your thing and have to run back through the maze, grab your shit out of that metal box just before you leave... only the last 10 steps are being over encumbered, which means you can make it to the door in time... then grab up the gear you left in the villa, and slowly transport it back to your room in novac from the bunker... lol, i never sold a single gold bar, ever... for me it was the thrill of taking as many of them as i could without cheating... i put a few out on display in my houses, but i never sold one...

has anyone ever entertained the thought that all of the characters we've seen are just, other characters in the game?? it's not hard to code them into the main character role for screenshots... i mean, these guys have lives outside of the main character, they fly planes and steal cars too probably... i am starting to wonder about that multi-character thing too... it's turned into a 50/50 argument for me after seeing this guy riding a speedophile... i am starting to wonder if R* is taking us on the "proverbial" ride just to drop the main character bombshell tomorrow... we'll find out i guess...

i spent an hour trying... that was long enough...

could of also gabbed a few more bars if you stored most of your items in a metal box after the initial entrance to the vault... you'll pas it on your way out, and would be able to grab all of the gear on your way out... i think my record was 8 bars... i couldn't get any exploit to work where i could sneak out all the bars...

http://www.rockstarg...oliticians.html i found this to be funny myself, thought i'd share it with others... so, who would you vote for?? i picked fletcher bowron, a seasoned veteran in the world of local politics, i busted his ass in an interrogation scene... he gave me that smug look like, "you got nothing kid", but i busted him on some shit... he's still got what it takes to go to the top though, he's got my vote... i almost picked stubbs, he's a guy that doesn't care what other people think... kind of what you need in the world of R* politics...

vice city, then san andreas... sure III is the original, but it's only if you want to start with the one that changed everything about what a video game could do... the next two improved drastically from then on... vice city is still considered one of the best games ever, and san andreas is hailed by critics and fans as the best... looking back on it, III was monumental in it's time and awesome to experience with the world... but vice city and san andreas are sooo much better, in all aspects, especially with the story and side-objectives... III might be kind of boring to play nowadays ...
