Here are new screenshots from Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto V, the hotly anticipated open-world game that still has no release date or even platform info.
In a stunning move for the series, it appears that you will be able to drive vehicles this time.

I never had a problem with the GTA IV driving mechanics either. I crashed a lot, but I always figured it was because I was driving recklessly. I don’t think you should be able to just drive through Manhattan at 250km/h and slide around corners.
Why does everyone complain about this? I felt like the bomb when I slid around a corner between parked cars because I knew I had learnt the skills required and fuck it looked good. Every car required you to learn its weight and turning. Its not an arcade game. Easy is boring.
Keep the driving from gta IV, it was the best. Nice, smooth, and slick, not clunky and unresponsive like past titles. Give it some realism if there going to the effort to make the game and story more believable
I’ll never forget firing IV up for the first time and driving Roman’s sh*tbox car. I hit every lamp-post for the first few corners. I was blown away and had to step up my game. Much much much better than previous GTA’s. It annoys me when people criticize the driving in a matter of fact way, as though it’s understood by all that it was terrible.
TOTALLY. It took time to learn, but made so much sense once you worked it out. Other games feel arcade after it.
I’m still not seeing a picture of horses. I know you can do it Rockstar. I want to recreate that scene from True Lies!
Yep, it’s trailer guy!!!!
The bicycle looks like a single-speed, cyclo-cross. Hard to tell with the sand being kicked up. If so, R* are really up with the times.
YES! I still hope it’s Claude Speed. He needs a comeback haha.
I’ll will be ok with Tommy Vercetti as well.
The guy featured in the trailer? The narrator? The guy standing on a balcony peering out at the cityscape? The guy leading the bank robbery carrying automatic weapons? THE TRAILER GUY!
And bikes. Yay…..
I too believe that the GTA driving mechanics were better than SR. The cars are just way to sticky in SR, it’s nice to be able to fishtail it down a street.
Currently playing Driver and as sykotika has said, the driving mechanics in that are pretty damn awesome. If they get it close to that it will make me very happy.
I’m still hoping for the full San Andreas map. That numberplate says San Andreas, it’s a clue!
I played GTAIV on PC and had no issues with driving what so ever. I noticed on the 360 however that it took a bit getting used to so it could just be a control input issue and not the game itself. (Though the controller triggers have far more control over speed and what not)
Oh you, Rockstar said that the GTA IV map was way too small for Jets so it made sense not to let players use them =P
also planes in a map based off of manhattan?
someone would have done something quite offensive and pissed people off
What’s with the title? Proof it has cars? Of course it has cars – it has since it’s inception and it’s called “Grand Theft Auto”
I am know right? It’s almost like the esteemed author didn’t know what they were talking about. And even at the end they mention it bring a stunning change. Maybe they were thinking of BMX bandits where the kids only used bikes.
He’s joking.
