Fixed.

After the GTA: SA Hot Coffee debacle, I'm sure Rockstar treads lightly when dealing with any sexual content in their games.

In GTA IV you could bang hookers in a convertible and all the sexual motions are captured right down to the girl wiping her chin after.

Lost and Damned - first ever full frontal dong shot in a video game.

Worst cutscene ever.

i saw a picture of the pre-load on psn on european psn 18 gbs! game is gonna be huge. also some are claiming the encryption can be cracked and someone will have it unlocked in a week. is that possible?

I'll do you one better.....

If I were a hacker and wanted to show off that I cracked the encryption, I think I'd choose a picture that didn't include a Friend notification at the top. Makes it a little harder to be identified that way.

And since they'd been unwilling to even have topless strippers, totally unexpected.

Well, the audio has been leaked from GTA V, So far just bits and pieces of info are coming out, stuff like the soundtrack, minor characters referenced, etc. But it seems to be all the audio, both the radio stations and dialogue.

I just wish that Rockstar would say "Enough of this shit!" and release the game early. There are a few million people that I don't think would mind.

On DTOID show last night Tara and Max were talking about how GTA V being on current gen consoles and brought up a good point that when SA came out it was close to the end of PS2 gen and it became the biggest selling PS2 game. So I guess it makes sense to release this on current Gen.

The install base and demand for this title will never really get any bigger than what it is now.

Yes, it makes perfect sense from a business standpoint. Heck, God of War 2 was released after the PS3's launch. Although, SA wasn't THAT close to the end - it was fall of 2004, a full year before the 360 and 2 years before the PS3. Maybe it was more bittersweet for Xbox users, as they didn't get it until the summer of 2005, after the 360 was revealed in that MTV show.

It's just that, as a gamer, you're going to be a little disappointed if you're excited about getting a new console at launch and this game won't take advantage of it.

San Andreas came out 2 years before the PS3. It did come out on the XBOX just a few months before the 360, but it had already been out for a while on the PS2.

It's a little different launching 2 months before the new consoles come out. But you also have to remember, this game was supposed to come out in March, but got delayed (I'm guessing due to development of GTA Online).

I do think we'll see a next gen release. If GTA Online is as massive as they're billing, there's no way they pass up that opportunity.

I didn't realize the music being out there would be such a big deal, or much in terms of spoilers. Sony pulled the pre-release content and apologized though.

And yeah, I guessed earlier that the way Rockstar is calling GTA Online as somewhat separate from GTAV that we'll see at least that portion of the game on next-gen.

I dont think making this game a "last blast" of this generation will hurt sales of the game much, but it'll probably kill sales of DLC down the road, if they have any planned. I cant imagine wanting to buy 360 DLC six months from now.

Adding on DLC to an upgraded PS3/360 version would be a good way to sell copies to next-gen adopters 6 months to a year down the road.

This may be why we haven't heard of a Rockstar Pass for this game like L.A. Noire and Max Payne 3 had. I can't see this game not having DLC, but maybe they're banking on GTA Online being the thing that keeps this game from being resold.

One thing they could do is make it if you buy the DLC on current gen, you get it free on next gen. That would be a good way to hedge bets.

That would be nice, but if that's in their plan, I hope they announce it soon. I am buying the game for the 360, but am going to pick up a PS4 long before I get an XO.
I'm sure they won't allow a cross-system cross-buy

Haven't played any games in a couple years, but plan on dusting off the controller for this...question is, which controller? I no longer have Xbox Live Gold, so I'd probably end up getting that if I got it for the 360 (for online, if it ends up being as cool as it potentially could be...), plus I've always preferred the 360 controller. But after a couple years away, it might be just as easy to grab it for the PS3 and it's single disc and no Live expense?

They claim it'll be identical on both systems I believe?

There are controllers you can buy that have similar design from the 360 controller. There's also a controller convertor you can buy that allows you to use a 360 controller on the ps3. The only downside being it has to be wired.

360 might look a little better, but only if you compare them side by side. To the naked eye, they should be the same, much like Red Dead, L.A. Noire and Max Payne 3. The PS3 version is one disc, but the 360 version only needs one of the discs for the install. After that, you play the game using the other disc and no swapping involved. Both systems require an 8 GB install for the game. If you have a small hard drive in one of your systems, that might actually be a concern.

There might be more players on the 360 side, which can be either an advantage or a drawback. Since it'll cost you an extra $20-$40 (or more) for Live, ask yourself if that is worth it for one game.

For what its worth, I'm getting it on PS3, and I had a great experience with Red Dead Redemption online, which is almost a beta for GTA Online. Great community for that game on the PS3, and I imagine it'll be the same for GTA V.

Official trailer...

yummy.

Rockstar knows how to do a trailer.

Yeah I think I'll just get for PS3 to save a couple headaches. I imagine after not using either controller for a couple years it won't seem like a big deal using the PS controller. Plus I played every GTA game prior to IV on Playstations, so I think I'll survive.

Looking forward to it!
