It just needs to be itself and continue to try new stuff screw all those people that say otherwise because rockstar knows best.

blitz0x5071d ago

I agree, but I think theres a few good ideas here that wouldn't really interfere with the way the existing game works. Heck, it may open things up to an even bigger audience.

Halfazedninja5071d ago

Yeah, but they just have to remember what GTA did to put them on the map. Like why didn't they go back and ever redo the London 1969 pack for the PS1? That was a fun pack but they have never revisited it.

limewax5071d ago

I would like a modern day London GTA. Just to get a change of scenery. Even one set somewhere like France or Italy would be welcome for the huge change in architecture

iPad5071d ago

We just need a San Andreas 2 and we're set for life, lol.

nopunctuation5071d ago

I didnt know Saints Row was real competition for GTA. Saying Saints Row is comparable to GTA is like saying fine wine is comparable to warm beer.

Halfazedninja5071d ago

Saints Row is really the only competition that GTA has in terms of an open world, reality based city. The wine/beer analogy makes it sound like you've never played SR.

I love both games but there are places where SR has a little bit of a leg up on GTA

vickers5005071d ago

GTAIV - spoiled milk

Saints Row 2 (and probably 3)- refreshing, delicious soda

Customization would be nice.

Rushing_Punch5071d ago

I agree, the sillyness and over the top attitude or SR makes it a little more enjoyable

Cal6645071d ago

I think that a San Andreas remake would be far more popular than a GTA V unless they greatly improve how the main story is written compared to GTA IV.

Anon19745071d ago

Ugh! San Andreas was my least favorite GTA game - and I'm talking about the first, top down GTA games as well. I'll never understand what the appeal of San Andreas was. By comparison, GTA Liberty City has such an amazing story, social commentary, characters and character development - it was excellent. SA just felt so one dimensional to me and I tried to get into it, it just lost me when you had to start running with your "gang" I just couldn't bring myself to care about gang territory and what not.

As for GTA versus Saints Row - yeah, the notion that GTA "needs" to compete with Saints Row is laughable. Didn't GTA4 sell triple what both Saint's Row one and two combined managed across all platforms?

beavis4play5071d ago (Edited 5071d ago )

yea, #3 and vice city were my favorites. SA was good too, tho.

all they need to do is stop worrying about how good it looks and put the FUN back in the game! #3 and vice city were pure fun.......lets hope GTA5 gets back to what made the series great.

unknownhero11235071d ago

one of the most important things GTA5 should do is actually let the player feel like they actually win instead of simply beating the game. in GTA 4 vanilla niko lost in both endings, in LaTD johnny lost his biker hangout and gets stuck with a house only a crack addict will love,and in BoGT it was better since it felt like you did win. GTA 5 should have an ending like BoGT.

Another aspect they need to improve on is the gameplay after the story line. it doesn't have to be an asset/empire mode but GTA 5 should have something for gamers to look forward to do after the game. sure, rampaging is nice but that can only take you so far. In saints row 2, I would activate the ped wars, wrath of god, and the milk bones cheat and I would have fun with it.

tablav5071d ago

Agreed. Think back to GTA: Vice City. Sure, it was a bumpy road, but by the end you owned most hot spots in the city (including a huge mansion) and were a complete badass.

Tommy Vercetti > Niko Bellic (in terms of their endings at least)

kinda feels like it just makes the image have less contrast, removing shadows somewhat.
Even if it's "more realistic" I think the standard looks better. Not in every situation but the standard likely runs better so I'll side with that more than likely.

Milk...get your milk...and so much more. Really when you release the same games in three editions over 15 years it's amazing how much money, and the amount of sales you earn. It's amazing how no one can compete.

Mr_cheese37d ago

To be fair, no many companies could release the same game over and over. They've earned that whether we agree or not

DarXyde36d ago

I mean Resident Evil 4 has had longer legs and still hasn't done anything like this.

Profchaos37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

GTA v isn't the only game that's released three consoles generations running but nothing has sold those numbers including GTA San Andreas which is now 4 console generations deep.

anast36d ago

Looks like a 2040 release for GTA6

gold_drake36d ago

thats insane right?
absolutely insane

rlow136d ago

No surprising considering that it’s been on every major platform and store.

I decided to look up the longest and most sold games list. To my surprise Tetris has takes the top spot.

I mean, considering the amount of time between the two. It better be a massive upgrade. Especially with the amount of money Rockstar raked in from GTA Online.

MDTunkown44d ago

Most of scenes are pre rendered

andy8544d ago

Literally none are. If you know anything about rockstar they don't do that. Confirmed by themselves that this is all in-game

MDTunkown44d ago

Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?
Rockstar told 50% are cutscenes and rockstars always used better models during cutscenes than in game.
You legit seems to know rockstar very well.

andy8543d ago (Edited 43d ago )

It didn't though? And neither did RDR2. In fact it was actually the opposite. What's with the hate boner? If you don't like it just avoid the topic

InUrFoxHole43d ago

Why don't either of you provide proof. This is just a he said, she said argument at this point

generic-user-name44d ago

You're either lying or just don't know what pre rendered means. Pre rendered means that if you change the character's appearance (clothes, accessories etc) they wouldn't show up in the cutscenes because they were already made and aren't being rendered in real time. This is something that doesn't happen in Rockstar games.

"Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?"

In fact some of the scenes in RDR2 looked better in the retail version than at launched.

anast43d ago

The OP is taking the shot-gun approach: say a bunch of random tripe and see if something sticks.

repsahj43d ago

Damn! GTAV graphics are still awesome! But, I am so excited to play GTA6!!!
