By maps I mean really custom maps..
see this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPM7iIHFzRk&hd=1 as a example
Same with vehicle mods - server can stream custom vehicles to player, ones that are not in game.
Also with "official gamemodes" I meant gamemodes that come out-of-the-box and don't need to be downloaded.
It's BS and obviously not true. Could have done a better rumor than this.
"4: There are animals in the game from dogs to cattle but at this time it is not confirmed if you will be able to harm the animals. Rockstar were able to get away with it in RDR as it was a true depiction of the world in which the game was set. Allowing dogs/cattle to die in a game sent in current times may cause headaches with PETA. Its unclear if Rockstar were joking here."
"The cops are much, much, much more realistic. If you kill somebody when you know there are no cops around you will not run the risk of a one star as often as you would in GTA4. The cops will use smoke and tear gas, dogs, riot gear and rams to knock down the doors of buildings you are hiding in."
So your telling me the police will have invulnerable dogs...
I just realized that even if that post was complete BS the map may stil be huge. Look at the size of Los Santos in the trailer, it's freaking huge (check the oil well shot). If we have that, some woodlands, and even just one other city the map is going to be tremendous.
edit: GTA wiki says that this game will only have 1 city plus the surrounding countryside.
My thoughts exactly. I hope those screenshots are taken from the 360 version. And on that note, they better release a PC version the same time as console versions this time around.
Yeah, imo it's going to be just evolution of GTA4, taking possibilities of RAGE engine to the its limits and limits of the hardware at the same time.
Gotta admit, that those trees look a bit cheap though.
