New GTA V details reveal a Chop

Lookit my dog, my dog is amazing

Grand Theft Auto got a first gameplay trailer last week, and people are still raving about it. The game is looking good so far, and most likely cost a ton to produce. Rockstar is going to need to make some serious cash back, which is why they’ll be releasing in Japan earlier than they usually would. And that move has revealed a few interesting new details about the game.

While western markets get the game on September 17, the land of the rising sun and that insane Ninja Warrior game show will be getting their hands on it on October 10. Famitsu via VG247 revealed that GTA V will allow players to have their own dog by the name of Chop, because dogs in games are a thing now.

Chop can be customised with collars and accessories, although there’s no word on whether you can neuter him yourself. Also, you need to keep an eye on Chop or otherwise he’ll bugger off. Also, there’s no word yet if Chop will be as fancy as Super-Tyson, but I doubt it.

Haters gon' hate

GTA V will also be pulling a Red Dead Redemption with wildlife, as the game will be home to 15 types of wild animals.

There’ll also be improved animations, such as each of the the three lead characters having their own unique walking motion, while a full-on underwater mission with Michael and Trevor brings jet-skis back to the game.

GTA V is looking simply massive at this point, as a single-player game. But I want to see what Rockstar has in store with that teased GTA V Online component, later this year.

            Ohhh, Darryn might even like that, what with his obsession of Pokermon. Though there probably already is an animal called ‘Garoopus’ out there.

            I had a pet goat… his name was Johan, couldn’t control him… He chewed off our cat’s tail… So having old chop in GTA V won’t be that bad.

    For the amount of money they using to produce this game they will have to sell the game at above the premium price of all the AAA games thats been released so far. Everyone whose into this game MUST support them regardless. I mean we dont want them going under now for throwing all there money into this game and not many people buying it.

    Im sure it will be worth the price considering how massive this game looks to be so far. Not to mention playing 3 different characters with there own stories. Its like having 3 games in one basically.

      The only thing that worries me about buying this game up front is we’ve heard nothing about DLC, which I’m guessing is in the picture. I like to know what I’m buying.

        Thats also true I must say. If they do decide on DLC then it has to be new stories that intertwine with the current ones with obvious extra weapons or so, but im leaning more for a fairly larger story type DLC. Lets hope it turns out to be worthwhile DLC.

            Asia is a big place to live, with many different and disparate cultures.

            Lol. Ya, I know, it is huge. I went to uni in China where there were many Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese etc, so like to think I have a rather general overview of their cultures (or perhaps not!). I was in Shanghai for a year, then in a smaller place called Shijiazhuang for the remaining 3. As far as I know, Japanese don’t eat dog, but perhaps they do in the rural areas?

            Nah, they do not. As far as I know. Fish. And lots of it.

            My friend also says, people are people (not a song, ok?). For example, in the village they have games once or twice a year, he says is just boere sports.

            Shanghai is, from my understanding, very cosmopolitan.

            Shanghai people have an expression, ??? (wai di ren) that they use on Chinese not from Shanghai. It means ‘outsider’ basically. They don’t think of themselves as ‘normal’ Chinese people, and also don’t speak standard Mandarin (Shanghainese) which is why I left and went to a more ‘real’ city 🙂 I do know that Chinese in mainland do eat dog, a mate was tricked into eating one! lol
