This from GameInformer is why IM SOLD BABY!!!
Biggest world in the series’ history. Aaron Garbut says it is larger than RDR, GTA IV, and SA combined including interior spaces – that’s friggin’ big!
Map includes city, wilderness, desert, Mt. Chiliad, military base, and fully detailed ocean floor including coral beds
Can switch between three protagonists at any time off-mission, certain missions allow changes during them
Multiple protags chosen due to IV+EFLC success
Switching reduces “flat spots” during stories
Play as protagonist and antogonist, stories cross each other
Switching protags is like entering Google Earth
Michael: Old guy from first trailer, retired
bank robber, in witness protection, lives in Rockford Hills (Similar to
Beverly Hills), has wife (Amanda) and children (Tracy the teen and Jimmy
the 20-year-old)
Trevor: Balding guy living in a trailer in the desert of Blaine County, friend of Michael
Franklin: repossesses cars, possibly one of many tasks from his boss.
Pedestrians have more reactions to you (giving the middle finger, etc)
Can douse things in gas and leave a trail for later ignition
Ammunation is back
All protags have lives outside of your control
Each protag has skillsets and personalities
Complex missions happen earlier
Many heist missions
Protags can work together in certain missions, sometimes all three
Rappeling, possibly off-mission ability
Planes available very early
Many side missions and minigames including yoga and a full golf course. Some minigames specific to a protag.
No RPG elements (fat/muscle) but you can change clothing like GTA IV
TV will return among other “odd” things for a video game
No girlfriends but there are regular friends/family for each protag:
Lamar: crazy friend of Franklin
Amanda: Michael’s wife in a rocky relationship
Jimmy: Michael’s pothead son
Ron: Trevor’s paranoid neighbor
Some familiar faces from GTA IV will return but no Niko and no PS2-era characters.
No property but plenty of other stuff to do with money throughout your gameplay experience
The phone makes a return
Random, optional side quests like in RDR will return. Talk with hitchhikers, nab a purse-snatcher, etc
Crews will be improved for GTA V’s multiplayer
Less celebrities in the cast like GTA IV
Extremely detailed world including pedestrians and lawn sprinklers.
Most vehicles of any GTA game.

Dude Im only worried about the amount of bugs it is going to have considering every eco system has its own animals and the 0.5 of the 3.5x bigger than red dead is underwater with its own eco system and divers.

I’m not a huge GTA player, but I’ve played them all, Rockstar generally seems to be on top of bugs. I mean there will always be bugs in open world games but compared to Bethesda, Rockstar is generally better at it. I’m just worried about everyone’s expectations about the game again

Smart Phone. It will be like your real phone, that is used for all the real life SOCIAL features like recording shit and sharing it with your friends. It is basically the On-Line feature.

In GTA IV your phone served many uses. Mission bosses would give you
work and friends would contact you. The phone also provided a small menu
to access multiplayer among other things. A phone features again in
Grand Theft Auto V. Multiplayer and other menus have been removed but
the phone has other modern features of today’s smart phones. There are 9
apps, of which 6 of them are:
Camera
Internet
Contacts
Social Media
Calendar
Mission Replay
Pictures taken with the phone can be shared through the Social Club
website – and likely any other place you wish to show off your virtual
photography. iGT

I hate all that SOCIAL shit but the multi player was a bit of a success in GTAIV so expect more of that.

I need to try out some Yoga after a tennis game. Then do some Scuba diving in the morning to find some treasure to get money to buy some property so I can store all of my customized guns, cars and loot from the odd robbery AKA HEAT style.

Dude, I loved CJ so much that I am only going to play as Franklin. You do not have to play the other characters during story mode either. You can do what you like. They do drop hints like during a robbery they will tell the driver to distract the cops. So you can either warp into the driver and do a car chase or let the AI do it. Its going to be wicked 😛

The world size stat is probably bloated, as it now includes the sea, instead of just land.

Not sure how fun lookout quests can be?! As long as there are no escort quests. I think underwater missions can be incredible if done right.
