	Log in to remove this advertisement quote Ben73 What an article. I didn't like the idea of 3 protagonists, but I think they will be able to pull it off. It was a very interesting article. Sounds like so much fun stuff to do. I'm sure there will be more they left out. Cant wait for this. HAHA! Glad you are coming round to the idea. I had my concerns about the 3 protagonists aswell. I worried the switching process would be narrative or progress driven and annoying. I was worried it would happen outwith the players control. I am glad its instantaneous in a kind of fast travel type system. That sounds awesome. It also sounds like the game runs at a very high performance if you can zoom out and across the whole GIANT map in a few seconds. Very impressive. quote The layout in SA was way out in regards to reality. From the sounds of the article it will be a pretty realistic replica of Los Angeles and its surrounds only. No other large cities. I think you are right. Even the screens look like a much more realistically layed out city. quote Since there are 3 protagonists, maybe we should get 3 trailers, one from each guys point of view. The first one seamed to be based of Micheal's story. Ahhhh, i didnt notice that. I kinda hope you are right now. That'd be an interesting way to do it.

	quote Andy Jay Having an option, in a game like GTA, to manually switch between characters mid-mission is ridiculous. Why? quote If it's automatically done with a cutscene to explain why, then it'll work. Wouldnt that be more annoying? So every time i wanna change to a new character i have to watch a cut scene? I certainly hope they dont do it like that. Maybe im picking you up wrong.

	quote Andy Jay Because you lose an element of realism. Having a button on the controller to switch characters... in grand theft auto.... come on man, be serious. Ah, right. Just in your opinion? I thought you were saying it wouldnt work mechanically. Well thats fair enough, IMO it sound pretty decent. In GTAIV there was no character switching and the game was all serious. It was one of the most dissapointing games i have ever played personally. I welcome the change from this taking itself too seriously thing. GTA is not a very serious franchise. I like realistic guns, cars, map, physics and nothing else. I like the story, characters, player abilities and plot themes to be somewhat rediculous. quote The issue there is that you actually want to be able to do it. If they implement it, god I hope not, there probably wouldnt be a cutscene, but say for example, in a bank robbery, you start as one guy, then you cover him as he cracks the sfe then you're the getaway driver after that. How would that be a bad thing? I suppose it would come down to having a command on screen that says "press x for tony" or something like that. I guess it could work, but only if it's pre-designated if you get me. Dont think i follow you exactly. I guess it comes down to personal preference. For me R* dropped the ball with GTAIV in many areas. I welcome a solid change from that formula and dont really see a reason why this cant work. I mean R* could screw it up and impliment it badly sure, but i see nothing wrong with the concept itself if done properly. (If it takes any more than a few seconds to switch for example then i'd get pissed off very quickly). This three character thing also has another benifit. If a player doesnt like one character he will surely find something in common with one of them. Im guessing we will all adopt a "go to" character who best fits our personalities. It'll be nice not to be lumped with one of them. (I didnt perticularly take to CJ in GTA:SA and although he was a great character i had nothing in common with him and felt kind of detached the whole time. Now i have 3 personalities to choose from. And I dont wanna say too much here but who knows what they are gonna do with co-op multiplayer? That could provide a pretty watertight explenation of the main reason for having characters.

	quote Andy Jay If you didnt find a way to have fun on IV, you didnt try hard enough.I think, in the grand scheme of things, people (myself included here, it's not a dig) expected far too much from IV. With the graphic shift from 2nd gen to 3rd, the classic cartoon violence of the PS2 games had to be altered. The focus for developers these days isnt about hiding jumbo jets and driving around in ice cream vans, it's the idea of building a living, breathing environment. Something that is kind of far fetched, but not so far that it's bordering on the ridiculous. Something real. But they failed at this absolutely miserably in many eyes. I mean sure sacrifice some idiocy for realism IF YOU ARE infact going to creat a realistic scenario. GTAIV was very very monolayered. It was not realistic. The entire game existed on the surface. Scratch off that layer and you are left with nothing. It felt like wandering through a city of zombies. It looked realistic, it didnt play that way. And in any case no way do i want to play a game where I have to try hard to have fun. Im looking for the exact opposite. Try to succeed fine, try hard to beat a high score also fine. But try hard to have fun? Thats pretty much exactly why i hated GTAIV. quote Sure GTAIV had it's flaws and yes it wanst all that it was cracked up to be, but it was their first attempt on a new platform. GTAIII was, and still is, a fantastic game, but it's so difficult to say that Vice City and San Andreas were better than it. It just shows us that the potential is there and it will be improved upon. I understand GTAIV was a technical platform meant to be built on. But the developers still missed a lot of oppertunity in the name of realism. The balance was not well adressed. And its not in anyway difficult for me personally to say GTA:VC and GTA:SA were better. They were just better IMO. quote What I meant there was the situation where you get to a checkpoint of sorts and the game gives you the option of who to be for the next segment, I feel that could work out better than just randomly being able to switch to whoever you want like in a soccer game or something. Well, ofcourse you are entitled to your opinion but for me? HELL NO! I dont wanna be sucked out of the action into a menu to select who i want. That sounds like a nightmare. Nah, i wouldnt be at all happy with that. I dont want to be continually bogged down in that way. Ah well, each to their own.

	quote Andy Jay Yes but changing between characters in any way shape or form without a constructive reason will bog you down and be plain weird. Instantaneous character changes seem to be the opposite of bogging down for me. They could maybe have the opposite effect and overwhelm or confuse the payer but certainly not bog anything down like a mission stop, checkpoint then menu. quote I guess we'll just have to wait and see. you never know, it could be a combination of everything and be shite or brilliant. Yeah thats very true, dont want to get ahead of ourselves i suppose.

	quote Demonfurby KR_1250 click your notification tab, then click "direct". They fixed the bug and you won't get notification from these things. Demonfurby Cheers for the help, but the "direct" option is just a blacked out bit of text i cant interact with probably because the site format is screwed up on this PC. I have absolutely no ownership or juristiction over the PC. How did it even start happening? I didnt do anything different. F**K i have another one now... Anyone know any other decent gaming forums which a work filter wont block? Edit: Nov 12, 12 7:25am
