I was thinking that too. You often get people cowering on the floor in a gunfight. Would be great if you could grab them and use them as a shield. Or, Gears of War-style, shoot them a little bit so they fall on the floor, then pick them up.

As a result of playing to much Gears of War lately, another thing I'd like to see: Executions. Remember in GTA IV when you could choose whether to let someone live or not, and if you killed them you normally got a gory execution sequence? I want to see that available for everyone. I want to be able to walk up to anyone and automatically shoot them in the kneecaps, and then in the forehead. There needs to be dozens of sequences, a few different ones for every weapon. SA and RDR let you assassinate people with the knife, definitely want to see it again in a better form in V.

Multiple protagonists would be a mistake. GTA has always been about one person's story. RDR and LA Noire were the same actually. I think the closest we'll get is the ability to choose what role we have in a mission, which might mean playing as a different character, depending on how the story is written. That would allow for co-op as well. It would still only be one person's story though. It's a pity Gawker (company that runs Kotaku) can get so many hits by writing anything they like and calling it a rumour. I guess it gives us something to talk about though.

I thought NYC was America's financial city? DC doesn't have anything in it. Or at least, a dollar sign doesn't make me think of DC...

I hope you're just talking about normal Mafiya Work and not the Team game. Team Mafiya Work was the shit. Just needed a bit more variety in the missions, scaled for the number of teams/players in the game.

Okay, from that one hour playing, my complaints were: Car handling - suspension on sports cars in IV is too soft and you can't drift. Too bouncy on other vehicles. The engine overrevs every time you want to pull away quickly. I hope they can perfect car handling in V, it's a major part of the game after all. Cover system - very glitchy and still was in RDR. Needs to be snappier, like Gears of War. I know they're going for realism but I would prefer slicker gameplay over perfect animation. Wanted level system - you could outrun high wanted levels just by driving in a straight line in IV. It doesn't work that well. Friends - we all know about this one Car shops - why take out Transfender but add in car washes? In game internet - it's funny reading some of the pages, but I would like a bit more interactivity The 'rags to slightly better rags' story that GTA IV was supposed to be didn't really work out. You still ended up with over $1 million and fancy safe houses at the end of the game. If you're going to make us rich, do it in style, not with a subdued atmosphere to make it 'realistic'. And give us stuff to spend it on! Audio is pretty weak, weapons don't have enough metallic/mechnical sound to them and all the cars sound like small family hatchbacks. Muscle cars should have solid bassy engine notes, sports cars should have high pitched ones.

First trailer for GTA IV was released in March 2007 with the intention of releasing the game in October. Of course it ended up coming out the following April. First trailer for RDR came out a year before the game iirc. So anywhere between June and November 2012. I'm going to say October. I'll raise the sea level if they say June though.

Yeah, funny how you remember stuff like that. I only played it for an hour and came out with a big list of things that need to be fixed for GTA 5. One of them came as I was watching the saxophone guy play against the sunset. I thought, this would be great if this game had a camera. Then I remembered the phone has a camera on it... but then I remembered you can't do fuck all with it. So changing that and linking it so you can upload photos to the social club would be fucking brilliant.

I totally forgot about that. I'm off to play GTA 4 now.

Yeah that was carried over from a previous upgrade, so that was different. I think the new cropper tool in the photo uploader along with merging avatars and photos into one causes problems for animated GIFs. Something to keep an eye on, they might fix it in a future update.

Nope, no idea yet. Might be animated GIFs in general because I imagine they'd be more difficult for the photo uploader to crop.

Post it here and I'll upload it for you again.

Presumably coming out on both. Wouldn't be surprised if there are dumbed down versions for mobiles coming out around the same time or shortly afterwards. Really hope there's none of that exclusive DLC bullshit again.

I have an exam on the 2nd. This week will fly by.

I've uploaded it for you. I'll try to find out what the problem is in the meantime. I haven't had any such problems though. It might be because it was too small for the box under your name.

Get in line, son. EDIT: actually looks kind of wank. I'll change it again soon. EDIT 2: red for admin >_> Still looks shit though. Awesome job TF.

Probably just thought it was the most stylistic V to go off of.

It's neither here nor there imo. Probably looking for a few extra followers.

< Orc running around with 100% chameleon enchanted armour. Fuck yeah.

Yeah AmmuNation was one of the things I missed most in GTA IV. There was no reason for getting rid of it and moving weapons to people's basements/back of people's cars. They could so easily set a series of side missions in there too. Fuck dating, bring more destruction.

Actually stick around this time >_>

Well, no one else's account is changing groups at random, so it'd be a good idea just in case.

Try now... Change your password too.

Nope. I can't definitively say who reset your reputation and I have no idea why you were set to Members. Will have to keep an eye on things and see if it happens again.
