Grand Theft Auto V Shares Game Length, Lead Platform, And More

Posted on Saturday, November 17 @ 09:48:39 Eastern by Jonathan_Leack

After years of sworn silence, Grand Theft Auto V is beginning to talk.

A live stream by Multiplayer.it revealed quite a lot about Grand Theft Auto V, and some of the major questions about the game's platform, length, and character switching were answered. Below are a few of the major points that were covered.
  • The development team is working on both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions separately.
  • Although a PC and Wii U version aren't being worked on, they aren't out of the picture.
  • The graphics are a big step up from Grand Theft Auto IV, although there appears to be a lot of aliasing.
  • You can switch characters while in free roam, even if you have a wanted level of 1 or higher.
  • Multiple endings depending on choices made during the main narrative.
  • Rockstar says the game is roughly as long as Red Dead Redemption (30~ hours?).
  • Tons of optional events and content to explore.
Above all else, Grand Theft Auto V is promised to be a major improvement in gameplay in the same way GTA: San Andreas added upon the Grand Theft Auto III formula. I don't think any of us can ask for more. Well, except for maybe a polished PC version, but that's probably asking for way too much.

If you haven't already, be sure to watch the latest Grand Theft Auto V trailer. Sometimes you have to see the game to remind yourself why Grand Theft Auto is so awesome.

    Shit. I can't believe they aren't working on a PC version. Means I just have to accept that I wont be playing GTA V anytime soon if at all. After Max Payne 3 I was quite hopeful (and stupidly confident) that GTA V would see similar treatment with the PC version. Guess the jokes on me. Screw rockstar.

    Just like GTA IV. I'm sure it's in a development document somewhere, it'll just be delayed.

    I'm more excited about free roam in GTA V than anything else. Piling everyone into a helicopter, taking a trip downtown, landing at the top of skyscraper and having a base jumping competition just sounds awesome. I hope I can BMX away from the law!

    Same here. I would much rather play the game with no aliasing at 60+ FPS.

    It's great to hear that the difference is roughly the same as going from III to SA, but the same length as red dead? Red dead was half the length of 4, and 4 was 30 missions shorter than SA, why the hell are they cutting the length of their games? Not that i wasnt happy with red dead, quite the opposite, but red dead had a **** tone more to do than gta4 so in that case it was okay, not to mention it was a far superior game in every way

    Wait... Pile everyone into a helcopter? Does the game have co-op? Or are all 3 characters on the screen at once?

    I'm going to get it on PS3 and trade it in after the PC version comes out if the port is good. (And when I have a capable PC).

    Thanks guys, I've thought about it and PS3 is the way to go for me because of my friends and the fact my PC is starting to show its age.

    All the aliasing is probably from them having to run it at 480p on the consoles. GTAV is in the same engine as they made Max Payne 3 in. Its dx11 and is amazing so I have high hopes that GTAV wont be out to much later on the pc.

    I like the fact that they are working on Xbox and PS3 separately; developing for one and porting usually spells trouble (see Skyrim).
