Massive amount of new Grand Theft Auto V Details

Thanks to a very dedicated topic on Neogaf we now have a really big and comprehensive list of new Grand Theft Auto V details, sit back, relax and enjoy!

Grand Theft Auto V Details

CVG: “Visually and technically, GTA V is such a leap over GTA IV, it blew me away.”

9 unique attributes per character:

• Special
• Stamina
• Shooting
• Strength
• Stealth
• Flying
• Driving
• Mechanic Ability
• Lung capacity

Summary From GTAV.net

1. You can buy property; houses, garages and businesses can all be purchased for extra revenue sources.
2. You can customise yourself with haircuts, new clothes, and tattoos
3. Each character is rated in a series of skill categories: Stamina, Shooting, Strength, Stealth, Flying, Driving, Mechanic, Lung Capacity.
4. Each character has a ‘Special’: Franklin is an adrenalin junkie and can slow down time while driving; Trevor has a frenzy mode, where he does double damage, takes half damage, and has a unique melee attack; Michael has his own version of bullet time
5. Specials are governed by a meter, it drains after use and recharges slowly
6. Other skill categories are shared and can be improved by completing missions, side missions, activities and more
7. Trevor will always be the best pilot, Franklin will always be the best driver but each can improve their proficiency a little
8. One of the skill categories is stealth, suggesting players will be able to take different approaches to missions
9. Pay N Sprays can also mod cars with paint jobs, new wheels, window tints, grilles, spoilers. Upgrades to suspension, engine and brakes can also be made.
10. Weapons can also be customised with laser sights, scopes, silencers, and high capacity magazines
11. You can pick up hitchikers, do stunt jumps and flying challenges, take part in yoga, golf, tennis or bike races.
12. Some boats will include gear such as wetsuit, flippers and tanks for diving
13. An underwater ecosystem exits, “the sea is teaming with fish and sharks”
14. Treasures can be found underwater, but NPCs will be looking for them too
15. GTAV rewards exploration, there’s no signposting underwater, so you’ll have to find the treasure the hard way
16. Dives won’t offer massive payoffs, but will “help grease the wheels”
17. The character selection wheel is split into four triangles: Franklin, Trevor, Michael, and your multiplayer character
18. It seems there’s a closer relationship between single and multiplayer. Simply pressing Down on the d-pad will drop the play in and out of MP.
19. Rockstar has said it will reveal more on multiplayer in the future
20. There are subtle differences in the way each character moves to reflect their personalities; Michael is slower and deliberate.
21. Rockstar says there will be five times as many pedestrians in GTA V as there were in Grand Theft Auto IV
22. There’s a “crazy level of detail”: Tourist buses can be boarded for a tour of celebrity homes, film posters are plastered on the walls, men in comedy costumes try to corner you outside the Cathay Theatre, including the Superman-like Impotent Rage and Master Chief riff, Space Ranger.
23. iFruit, the game’s new phone, can be used to snap pictures and upload them to Rockstar’s Social Club
24. The phone also has apps. In addition to the camera there is internet, contacts, social media, a calendar, and a replay missions app. There are three more Rockstar hasn’t yet revealed.
25. Michael’s obsession with classic films translates into in-game set pieces based on real world movies. In the demo the three characters mount a heist very similar to the one from Heat.
26. ‘Mini heists’ are used to teach the player about preparation. Players must secure vehicles, outfits, masks, the getaway vehicle.
27. These build up to a bigger heist where the execution must be flawless. They’ll require the right crew and players will have to decide on the cheap option, which results in less skilled people, or paying more for skilled crew members that will take a larger cut.
28. You can switch between Franklin, Trevor and Michael during a cutscene, manually, or automatically when the AI takes control for you
29. Each character has a job to do, how much you switch yourself in or let the computer do, is entirely up to you
30. If you die the game reloads to the last checkpoint, even if two other characters are alive
31. Although it’s up to the player when they switch, dialogue will suggest ideal moments. For example, when Michael and Franklin are being overwhelmed by snipers, Michael might ask for Trevor’s help.
32. A combat roll has been introduced for moving between cover
33. There is a wider field of vision, and players can run-and-gun
34. A deer and a wildcat was spotted in the mountains.

Car customization

1. Remember the modest car customization found in San Andreas? Well, apparently that feature is coming back with a vengeance in GTAV. Rockstar promises that Pay-n-Spray shops will not simply be used for a quick change of paint in order to evade the cops. Of course, you can still do that if you want–and even swap out license plates if you’re so inclined. But these shops will also be used for customizing your car to high heaven, including performance upgrades as well as cosmetic options such as new spoilers, grilles, and window tints that will let you live out your inner Vin Diesel (or Paul Walker, if you’re the boring type).

Feeling, vibe and the Grand Theft Auto V Map

1. And that pulse is very, very different from the one in Liberty City. Los Santos seems livelier and more fun-loving. While Grand Theft Auto 4 seemed mired in tragedy, there’s a lightheartedness to Grand Theft Auto 5, akin to what you’d see in a Michael Bay action movie (you know, one of the good ones). Where 4 opted for realism, 5 seems more focused on just having a good time.
2. The Rockstar guys also told me how huge the game is and all that’s in it. Well, some of what’s in it: military bases, beaches, mountains, rivers, meth dealers, biker gangs…. the whole map is open from the start. Biggest weapons list ever. Biggest vehicle list, many of them customizable for looks and performance. Cars. Trucks. Motorcycles. Bicycles. Jet fighters. I saw a jumbo jet in the sky. Can we fly that? Not sure, probably not. These games have limits.
3. This is best exemplified by the incredible attention to detail when you go underwater. When Trevor threw on some SCUBA gear and hopped off the side of a boat, I was expecting the usual sparse underwater trench with a few floating bits of seaweed – not circling sharks, deep underwater ridges, schools of fish, a barnacle-encrusted wreck and shafts of sunlight shimmering through the water. It’s properly explorable down there, assuming you aren’t crippled by a paralysing fear of sharks. You can literally dive for sunken treasure. This marks a huge step forward for Rockstar’s worlds.
4. Michael continues down the street and I get a glimpse of the street life in the more populated sections of Los Santos. Much like in the Elder Scrolls games, the pedestrians in GTA V don’t stay in one spot all day, preferring to move around from activity to activity. The AI is also much more responsive to your actions. In this instance, Michael walks past two celebrity lookalikes. The first is a stand-in for one of the Republican Space Rangers (which returns with new episodes in GTA V). The other is dressed as Impotent Rage, a new liberal superhero with a hit TV show. When Michael pulls out his smartphone to take a picture of the Space Ranger, the actor strikes a pose for him.

Dollar Dollar Bill Yall

1. Each of the three characters even has his own bank account, allowing you to manage each one’s purchases differently. These guys can buy property. The example I was given was a taxi company. It will generate regular income. They can buy houses, too.

Missions and guns

1. “Missions can be played stealth or action.” “You choose a crew from more than just the 3 characters like hackers, lock pickers, etc. Their skills get boosted if they live onto the next mission.”
2. For the bigger jobs, you’ll also be able to build out your crew beyond just the three core protagonists, perhaps hiring additional drivers or other specialists who have their own skill levels and who take a cut of the overall score that’s proportionate to their skills. Will you go with cheap help who take a smaller cut but might botch the job, or will you put together a costly but skillful group of seasoned professionals? Instead of just playing through an action sequence that might remind you of a scene from one of your favorite crime films, you might get to do something closer to designing your own incredible heist sequence. Eat your heart out, Michael Mann.
3. Here’s your headline: the gunplay is Max Payne 3′s, broadly speaking, right down to the turning circle and the kill-confirming reticule X. This is no copy-paste from Rockstar’s 2012 shooter, though: there’s a new evasive roll, and a ‘combat jog’ that lets you move at speed with your weapon drawn, but not raised.
   Again, the three-character setup proves its worth: no longer are you sat behind cover popping off heads until all the red dots are gone from the radar. Franklin stays behind a chunky concrete bollard for the most part, taking potshots and calling out enemy targets to his allies. This is hardly Michael’s first rodeo, so he’s more mobile, running and gunning from cover to cover. Trevor has the most fun, switching to a sniper rifle to dispatch an enemy team setting up across the street, and taking out an RPG to dispose of a police chopper and squad car.
