    :D

    Those five are real people who won a competition some time ago to appear in the game as Epsilon cult members. Lucky gets :grin:

    Here's today's IGN GTA V article: Grand Theft Auto V: The Sum of all Peers

    That's Pastor Richards or whatever he was called from Vice City right? The one who was on about erecting a giant statue of himself, but the statue was also a spaceship? :lol:

    I'm not sure actually, could be. Members of Epsilon cult are found dotted around San Andreas though. They all wear blue suits and say really odd stuff if you bump into them, stuff about "Kifflom" and such.

    Pastor Richards was head of the Pastor Richards Salvation Statue Organization!

    According to GTA Wikia he was supposed to have a much bigger role in the game, but his voice actor, David Green, died during production...

    But there's lots of debate about this online, as his IMDB page has him in Law & Order in 2004 and a film in 2006..and there's no info about his supposed death!? Although his alleged passing is mentioned on a few other GTA sites...

    I kind of hope lazlow ends up in this one, I think he's been in all of them since 3, and Maurice Chavez is hilarious as well.

    Yeah, Lazlow will be in it...He does a lot of sound work for most of Rockstars games.

    And he's been doing the rounds on American radio stations promoting the game, and has caused a bit of controversy by saying real gang members were hired as voice actors! Hope it doesn't get the Alan Titchmarsh/Daily Mail crowd too riled and get the game delayed or anything! :D

    Here's an interview link...

    i really hope the dogs dont yelp when you accidently run one over. :sad:

    I hope the dogs do yelp when you run em' over, I'm gonna shoot one if they haven't been soft and disabled it.

    Just like there's no kids in any GTA games, OK killing kids is never cool, but what happens if I want to do a Kronenburg style chest shot on a little girl buying an Ice Cream? Where's the freedom to murder lil' Debbie? That's not very sandbox is it? :lol:

    Article in today's Scotsman: http://www.scotsman.com/lifestyle/technology/new-gta-v-release-tipped-to-rake-in-1bn-in-sales-1-3081943

    "Five years in the making, the game?s development and marketing budget of ?170 million is the equivalent of a blockbuster film. Such is the success of the series, industry experts believe its latest incarnation will rewrite the record books, shifting 25 million copies in the first year alone, achieving sales of ?1bn...

    The new game revolves around a satirical recreation of southern California. With players able to switch between three protagonists, the 49-square-mile world boasts a welter of activities, such as scuba diving with sharks and hijacking trains."

    Yeah it'd better be that good for $60 :D

    If it isn't that good my wallet will be stinging more than when I bought Double Dragon for the Speccy with literally the 2nd or 3rd tenner I'd ever held in my tiny mits!

    Disappointment on a scale this large will make me mod every console I said I wouldn't and sell pirated copies of every commercial success for a cent on a street corner!

    Just heard on the radio that Lazlow will be hosting a show on Absolute Radio on Sunday. Didn't catch what time it's on though, unfortunately.

    Only eight sleeps until GTA V... ;)

    the advert is on uk tv now

    dont really think much to it, thought the gta iv one worked better on the tv.

    the should have stuck the michael trailer because it was more consistent and has a better song.

    looks to be more varied than GTA 4.....which is no bad thing

    This image of the map with overlayed photos gives a better impression of the huge scale of the game world (Spoilers):

    More details have emerged about GTA Online, which starts about a fortnight after the main game is released:

    http://www.computerandvideogames.com/428953/gta-online-details-character-creation-activities-and-more/

    "You can invite friends to your home and drink, call strippers, watch Rockstar's custom created TV shows (or your friends in high-speed chases)."

    Yeah, when I first saw the leaked map, I thought...."doesn't look that big".....but then I watched a video that put the GTAIV, Red Dead Redemption & San Andreas maps into the GTAV one for reference....

    The countryside is going to take a fair bit of exploring, that's for sure! :)
  • edited September 2013
    I am glad that there is a lot of countryside.

    I'll just get a dirt bike and explore it, doubt I'll do a whole bunch else for some time.
