    Grand Theft Autowind?

    According to this preview the new Grand Theft Auto game is going to introduce the concept of a countryside. It is a gigantic area that lies between three full cities, and supposedly it is filled with extra things to do. I thought it wouldn't be all that great, but judging from these screenshots the area is going to be huge. Thinking about how interesting the exploration aspect of this game could be makes me think a bit about Morrowind.



    These shots make them game seem more like Drakken than GTA! Also, might have a lot more control over the development of the thug this time.

    ""A chopper could get you up there in about two minutes," advises Hamish, "but you could even run or take a bicycle up there, another way to keep CJ in top physical condition, as a way to keep customising the character.""

    So, what do you think? A full countryside that will probably have a tremendous number of secrets to discover. "Customising" the character, hopefully some sort of RPGish stat system. GTA-SA seems to have the potential to be a lot better than its predecessors.

    Problem is, in GTA3 and Vice city, that the secrets are often too hard to find and don't give true satisfaction except for the sake of having found the secret. If they could make it more RPG, with some stories, some humorous surprises etc it would make it worthwhile. How about those secrets influencing the main plot, giving different dialogues etc.

    Vice city was fun for a while, but I have to say it has more potential. The controls are frikin impossible, and it all feels a bit console. If it had fluid FPS movement in a 3rd person viewpoint instead it would be a lot more fun to shoot cops etc. After a while massacring cops got boring cos of the controls

        The good thing about PC versions of games is that you can customize things, such as keyboard controls and the like. Having played both, I have to say the PC version gives much greater control.

        This game looks to be interesting.

          The open countryside looks stupid.

            I think the countryside is cool, as long as there is stuff to shoot at out there(Like animals, or even better yet yetis!) There had better be stuff to do out there, b/c jsut running in gta games can get pretty lame, but I love the idea, it's more realistic, and has something new.

            I wish they'd make it rpgISH, but I doubt that's going to happen as much as would be comfortable this time around. But I do expect more interaction, as many of the next gen systems are beginning ot show.

              Remember you don't have to go into the countryside if you don't want, but I believe Rockstar said there will be plenty to do out there.

                The hit on the golf course was fun in Vice City.

                This seems to promise that you can take the war to the golfers!

                  This is a game that I'm definately getting.

                  Country side feature is way cool what are you talking about?

                  There will be 3 MAJOR cities and 9 suburban villages spread out in a giant state making this GTA the biggest game of the series. How could anyone say this game is gonna suck?

                    No, your character moves awkwardly. He's getting stuck a lot too. It's absolutely not very intuitive. I mean, standing still when firing a shotgun. It's not a realistic game so why implementing that? When you're standing still you get hit... It's rather the way your character moves than the actual controls that sucks

                          I hope to god, that there is GOOD stuff to do out in the woods. I just realized that R* could go all cutesy and make it so you have to go collect honey from beehives, and help that d-bag christopher robin find his dumba** stuffed animals.

                            They wouldn't do that. That would be as lame as having him go deliver pizzas or something. Heh.
