Just don't mention anything about CJ or Tommy in GTA V and we'll get along fine.

Constantinople is a nice aesthetical change from Italy. Oh and Subject 16 makes an appearance in about the first minute of the game. Also fuck spoilers, you read it, your fault.

As I said he looks like an aged Al Pacino in this one. Anyway there are a few things to note about the game: The Assassin dens return from Brotherhood but have been expanded with some other options and can also come under attack from Templars when your notoriety is at max. It gets a bit tedious running all the way across the map to defend the den though. Defending involves a bit of an RTS minigame where you place various Assassin types (who are armed with weapons including crossbows, rifles, bombs, melee etc.) along the rooftops to attack the oncoming Templars, you can also place barricades that contain weapons such as flamethrowers and proto-machine guns. You need barricades because the Templars always finish their attack with a mobile siege unit of some sort. Oh you can use your gun and call for bombs to blow up enemies too. Janissaries are pretty tough to beat, they're a bit like the Papal guards from Brotherhood. They have a ranged weapon and are also deadly in melee. I've only taken on one group of four so far but it took a while to take them all out. Some of the new hookblade executions are brutal and make me say "oh shit" a lot. Especially the one where Ezio ducks behind the enemy with the hookblade under his chin and yanks him down to the ground ripping his jaw off. Combat itself seems a lot easier though and combo kills are common, you just wait for the first enemy to attack, counter attack and kill the other enemies in quick succession. Hookblade itself isn't really noticeable in freerunning, you can zip down wires which is their main use. All the stuff about upgrading shops from Brotherhood returns. As do banks, making getting money rather too easy. You can be jumped from behind by some freelance assassin, the first time this happened I didn't know what was going on as he grabbed me from behind and I had to quickly counter grab to throw him to the floor. After that it's pretty easy to spot as tense music will play, giving you about 5 seconds to turn around and kill your would-be assassin with a preemptive strike. Now i'm bored of typing so i'm going back to AC...

We could go back to the days of Egypt around 2000 B.C. I suppose, that's three thousand years before Altair.

GTA IV took so long because it was the first GTA game on the RAGE engine and they were working from scratch, now they've had a lot of experience with IV, RDR, etc.

That's ok TreeFitty is a fireman and he's from around that area. He can cum in our eyes to put the fire out.

I don't think the guy speaking in the trailer has kids, he's just voicing his desire to have them. I'unno, just my take.

I think it's at 80% at least, the map looked quite fleshed out to me, and we saw what look like missions. They wouldn't start work on the missions until they had a pretty good idea of the map layout.

If you want to listen to your music in game and ruin it get one of those poxy ipod things and listen to it on that while playing.

You berk...

I'd rather they go the Saints Row direction when it comes to your own music. Put in something like an mp3 player for you to use, so you can listen to it while you walk around town as well as in the car. Fuck no, you'd miss half the game like that because you'd be distracted by your choons. All the epic ped quotes you'd miss.

Guys, R* just sent me a leak of the GTA V map.

I'd hope so too, just so they can use the full potential of the bluray. But it isn't going to happen.

VA I'd watch out, QD is from Virginia too, you're more at risk than most of us. Probably best to weld steel plates over your arsehole before it's too late.

I think we can assume it's going to be multiplatform.

We don't know if it's going to be released on PC until R* tell us.

Not sure how that would play out, would you be behind confederate lines assassinating their commanders? I don't think a hidden blade would fare very well against a 19th century rifle. What sort of complex story could they weave around that? Something to do with the freemasons, illuminati and all that. Anyway an update on Revelations, Desmond looks different for some reason and Ezio looks like Al Pacino. That's all I have at the moment.

Not sure my hopes of having a death metal/grindcore station will see the light of day, I think we could have an old school thrash metal station possibly with Slayer, 'tallica etc (if of course they allow R* to use their music.) As long as we get some decent rap and classic rock stations that should satisfy me. I'd expect at least two rap stations.

'cause you so leet woman, why fe ye no hear mi when I's spekkin' to ye? Can ye not understand 'pon mi diction? Rass.

'cause you so leet right?

They were heading that way with TBoGT, and i'd like to think it's in preparation for this.

That ain't space nigguh, that's still in the atmosphere. I think space starts at 60 miles from the surface.

Oh yeah cheating after you've finished the story is fine, but doing it to complete missions... well, on your first playthrough anyway, is totally wrong and should be punishable by QD.

Well I imagine in game it won't look too different, but when comparing side by side the difference is vastly apparent. GTA IV looks very low res and blurry compared to V. What we should be comparing is one of the GTA IV trailers to this trailer. Since the trailers are usually given a coat of gloss.

I don't know, all I know is that if you do it in public you have to pay whoever a fixed sum.
