Did none of you play GTA IV or something? Unseen in the last game but seen in the trailer; flyable airplanes, fun vehicles like fucking golf carts, possibly bicycles and natural areas like mountains and forests. Additionally, it introduces for the first time, jetskis, controllable convertible roofs, a blimp, improved AI, more polished graphics, a new city and a new storyline. And this is only from a minute and a half long trailer. What did you want them to do? Take the series into outer space and make the game not about vehicles, cities and people?

For taking a crack at the RMRK Wiki
Dude why you gotta stick in up yo butt. From this teaser "more of the same" is a perfectly apt response. Controllable convertible roofs and blimps add negligible amounts of new gameplay to the series. Weren't jetskis (did you happen to catch the name of this one: Speedophile lol) in previous games though? It's also San Andreas (or a lot of it is).

 But it's the first teaser of a game that's probably not going to be out for at least another year; I wasn't expecting them to blow their load with it...I am actually pretty excited for this; I'm really hoping this will be more like the GTA III games though. Those were rock-solid fun.

Wow, more vehicles in a game where you drive vehicles! That's a completely different game than the previous ones! It's like if there was another Super Mario Bros. game and they introduced a new mushroom type! It's a totally different game and not at all just a rehash of what they've already done over and over again like Halo and The Legend of Zelda!

But I actually don't care if you like the game, even if it's just more of the same. I'm not a fan of GTA, but if it's a genuinely fun game it doesn't really matter if there's not that much innovation over its predecessors. Just like Zelda: after Ocarina of Time, every Zelda game was pretty much just a copy/paste of Ocarina of Time. They're all just repeats, uncreative, and stale. But that doesn't mean they're not fun.

You're both missing my point. The gameplay is already established. It's a game where you drive vehicles and shoot people in a realistic world. What more can they do other than add new vehicles and improve on what they have? My point is, "looks like more of the same" is a stupid thing to say, because it's not like they can dramatically change the gameplay.

Also, I just looked up jetski on the GTA wiki and it's appeared in GTA: Vice City stories on the PSP. I don't think a lot of people have really played that though.

Saints row will be better. GTA should just give up, but there is too much black and white trash that will buy the same bullshit game over and over. GTA 3 was cool because it had an open world, but now everything has an open world.

You know, if you don't like something, you don't have to post. Nobody gives a shit if you think Saints Row will be better. Personally I enjoy both series and I'm looking forward to both SR3 and GTAV.

Anyways GTA V looks like it isn't going to make the same mistakes IV and it has motherfucking dogs. Everyone loves dogs.

No, you can post whatever you want. But we all got the point after your first post. Also it'd be a different story if you brought more to the table than "It looks like more of the same" and "Saints row is going to be better."

Ok, I will. I don't like games that have one good idea, and then repeatedly cash in on that idea for iteration after iteration. Call of Duty does it, GTA does it, and assassins creed is doing it too. I love assassins creed as a game, but we've been sold the same game over and over again for three years now. I love video games, and I like to see the advancement of the medium, not just through something as simple as graphics, but through gameplay innovations. These companies are completely justified, though, when the masses give them millions of dollars to just maintain the status quo.

I should express that this is all based off of 2 minutes of video and impressions on currently released GTA games. Ill reserve my final judgement until the game comes out, though, of course.

I don't know what kind of "gameplay innovations" you want out these games that are based in the realm of reality. This isn't Mario where they can just decide that they want the next game to have you jumping from tiny planet to tiny planet in space. The only things Rockstar can do from iteration to iteration is make a new world, make a new storyline, make new missions, add new things like vehicles and make improvements to gameplay to make it more realistic or add more features like climbing over fences (San Andreas) and taking cover (GTA IV).

Which is exactly my point, and why I don't feel any need to play them anymore. I've already done this stuff. Aside from making more money, there's no need for another GTA.

There's no need for another GTA in your eyes, but in the eyes of most normal people, there is. It's a new game in a new world that has new vehicles with a new storyline that involves new character that send you on new missions that involve doing new things in new ways.

Play GTA III and then play GTA IV. The differences are night and day because of all the improvements and new shit.

That's all I can really think either.  A new setting and character don't mean jack, and a few new vehicles are hardly massive improvements to a game.

It's still going to be the same story, the same missions, and the same character archetypes.

The probability of there being something out there is greater than your supposed impossibility of that thing.

Second, selling the same game over and over is fine, but GTA lacks any real, substantial plot to compensate for that so... yeah.

By your logic, every Call of Duty game is each unique from one another, and not just a carbon copy of the one that was released the year before it. But we all know that isn't true, and CoD is the prime example of a generic FPS.

At the same time, I don't think you're an idiot or anything like that for liking your game. I hope it lives up to your expectations and that you enjoy it. But don't try to pass the series off as anything more than the same old game repackaged with minor additional features all for the sake of making a quick profit.

I didn't see your post when I posted, but I agree 100%. I think Resident Evil is a good example of what you're talking about. 1-3 were all basically the same game released 3 times. But there was an overarching plot (albeit a horrible one) that at least gave a small amount of credibility for releasing those games with only few changes to the gameplay. When Resident Evil 4 came about, it was drastically different from the previous entries, but it was still ultimately a RE game. Although they arguably strayed too far survival horror, they still took a chance and it's often cited as one of the best games of all time.

Major gameplay innovations in games like this that are based on reality are next to impossible. You can't think of anything because there isn't anything. GTA is supposed to imitate reality, but allow you to do things you can't do in real life because, well, you'd die or go to jail.


Second, selling the same game over and over is fine, but GTA lacks any real, substantial plot to compensate for that so... yeah.
GTA does have a "real" "substantial" plot. I become very vested in the storyline of GTA games, especially in GTA IV, which I think took it to another level.


By your logic, every Call of Duty game is each unique from one another, and not just a carbon copy of the one that was released the year before it. But we all know that isn't true, and CoD is the prime example of a generic FPS.
I've never owned a Call of Duty game in my life, so I don't know if it is a carbon copy of the last game.

Quick profit? It took them 4 years to develop GTA IV and they spent $100,000,000 on it, making it the largest video game budget in history. They aren't repackaging the game every year for an easy buck, they're spending years and assloads of money developing new ones. GTA IV came out in 2008 and GTA V will probably come out in 2012. This isn't Madden. There are real, substantial changes and an assload of new content.

Changing Gamplay semantics is not always the best option.
Like the saying goes, don't fix what ain't broke.

For example I am a huge fan of the Final Fantasy series.
1 through 9 were exceptional but as you say, they were a re-hash of the same system
with minor modifications, albeit moving to 3d models for 7 was a huge change which is why it is a stand out representation of the franchise, but still the same gameplay system.

From 10 onwards where the games battle systems and gameplay were modified things
just didnt hit it off like they used to.
Not saying that the games are bad, I still enjoy them, but it just doesn't have the same alluring factor any more.

In saying that, even if this game is the exact same as GTAIV but in a different scenario, Im still going to get it and enjoy is, as I couldnt get enough of GTAIV and was saddend when it was over.
