The first batch of GTAV details
Read below for more details
Following the unveiling of Game Informer's
Grand Theft Auto V cover for its December issue earlier today, the first batch of details have dropped from the 18-page spread, revealing everything from the names of the three new protagonists, to a few facts about the open-world of Los Santos, the missions and some of the gameplay apsects.
-
Three Protagonists: Trevor (redneck), Michael (older white guy), and Franklin (black/mixed guy).
-
Each character has his own personality, motivation, and skillset.
-
Vehicles: cars and trucks, bikes (BMX, mountain), dirtbikes, ATVs, helicopters, planes, and jet skis.
-
Los Santos in GTA V is bigger than the worlds of RDR, San Andreas, and GTA IV combined.
-
Heists will be predominantly featured in GTA V. (Heat, anyone?)
-
Customise your look but not San Andreas style RPG elements.
-
Side-missions that Rockstar mentioned include: yoga, triathlons, tennis, and golf.
-
Random NPC encounters are back and more developed.
-
The ocean floor is detailed and can be explored.
Rockstar promises:
-
More fleshed out missions ala "Three Leaf Clover".
-
More complex side missions and activities similar to Red Dead. "It's better to have one really good mini game than five half-assed ones that aren't fun".
-
Better driving controls
-
Improved shooting mechanics
-
Refined melee combat
-
Vibrant in-game economy (but no buying property)
