Hopefully rockstar are prime when it comes to stuff like this.

This all sounds awesome, but I don't know if I like the return of skills from San Andreas.

Considerably more excited for this than I was for GTA4. Think the cast of characters are great, loving the idea of playing three different characters and seeing how things unfold. Plus it appears like R* are at least attempting to return to their fun side for a change. GTA4 was a good game for sure, but I never liked it's dull tone and Nico at to be one of the most boring main protagonist in a Grand Theft Auto game to date, going around moaning and being more meaningful about death, than a second later shooting a bunch of dudes like it was nothing.

And to be fair, I think Los Santos is a great location, loved exploring it in GTA:SA. By the way, I heard some folks saying the world was multiple times bigger than Red Dead's world, that true? Cause that would be awesome.

yes the world is 5 times bigger then red dead and there will be a proper underwater world with sharks

Each character is rated in a series of skill categories: Stamina, Shooting, Strength, Stealth, Flying, Driving, Mechanic, Lung Capacity.

Ugh. Worst part of San Andreas and part of the reason it's the only ps2 gta I didn't 100%
