I love how Franklin and his friend pause (speaking) whenever he hits another car, and then continue speaking when they're in the clear.

SO REALISTIC, no more quiet dialogue simultaneously while the characters' car is clearly crashing or getting bumped!

Ya'll better be downloading these vids!

The lack of pedestrians and cars has me worried, I knew there was a catch to having this massive game run on the old consoles. There must be a catch, and this might be it. The amount of wasted/hindered potential we've had over the past few years in several games really angers me.

SECOND VIDEO: beware, topless strippers:

Also thanks to Nilazz for finding this dude's channel for us :)

I got two things to say to that: Firstly, YES, that's awesome, I'm gonna spend the weekend watching GTA V livestreams :D

I care about spoilers a great deal, but not when it comes to GTA. Not as much, anyway. I'll probably lean more on livestreams that show open world exploration and crazy driving and pedestrian shooting rather than someone doing the missions, anyway.

Secondly, and this is only my opinion, but I think Rockstar enjoys these leaks. They barely show us anything from their games to maximize the hype and anticipation, and when we get "illegal" footage, it hypes us even more because it's like getting a bag of hash, the forbidden fruit is always more delicious.

Microshit, haha, I love that! Never heard it before.

^ Just a tip for people: If you wanna download leak videos from Youtube before they get taken down, download the Freemake Video Downloader. It's free and downloads web videos in HD.

The moment I open a youtube video of leaked gameplay I download it in HD and it's mine forever!

Gonna watch Nilazz's videos now, I'm excited!

I never buy a game before I make sure through internet gameplay videos and, um, sometimes other frowned-upon means, that it will run to my liking and I will enjoy it.

I don't spend my hard earned money on pre-orders and launch days/nights, game developers fuck up too often for me to trust their trailers.

Just look at Assassin's Creed 3, L.A. Noire, Total War: Rome 2, Crysis 2, Dead Island, ALIENS Colonial Marines and a myriad of other games that disappointed. It's never a safe bet, even from my most trusted studios.

It might be my hype and my love for Rockstar, but I really feel they've been slowly and persistently "revolutionizing" the aspects of open world games since forever.

I mean just looking at the V gameplay and reading about it, you can see how there was a real commendable evolution and innovation in all aspects of their games from GTA 3, through San Andreas and IV, RDR and Max Payne 3, and now V.

RDR's wild life, SA's massive single player map, MP3's tight shooting mechanics and smooth movement, it's all blending into this title, it's really looking fresh and "evolved."

Comparing the Rockstar progression to the other franchises you mentioned makes it stick out even more. Just look at how rehashed Assassin's Creed and Saints Row have become, they only add new features to the same old pot until it overflows. Rockstar on the other hand, replace the pot with a newer cleaner one first and then dump new mechanics inside it, if that makes any sense.

That was cool :) You synced the music well.

I tried to understand as much of your jargon as I could and this sounds super hella interesting.

I might've missed this detail in your OP but, where does the Voyager 1 get its energy? How has it been running and transmitting through space for 3 decades? We need that 1970s space battery for our smartphones!

So I think it is now safe to say after seeing all this footage that this game is REALLY going after that classic San Andreas vibe right?

I mean hell even the "wasted/busted" screens feel like they're right out of a PS2-era GTA. Makes me happy!
