It also looks like you may have to watch the fuel levels in the vehicle you steal!
i do not approve
the eating thing was annoying enough in SA, GTA is not supposed to be realistic imo
turning it into a crime simulator would be bad
looks :drool:tastic tho

Nice graphics from what I can see, this is a game I'll definatly be buying, like the rest of the GTA's. Its just the issue of whether I'll be able to afford the PS3!

Let's just hope they improve the engine's performace too. I don't understand how GTA Vice City was able to run smoothly for me at 1280x1024 and maximum detail while San Andreas is incredibly slow even at 800x600 on minimum detail and there have been almost no improvements to the graphics at all.

looks sexy, hope they don’t try and make it to real. GTA for me was just about driving about blowing stuff up, I don’t practically want to have to work out if i have enough fuel to run over an old lady I see up the street.

The fuel level thing is interesting, maybe we'll get a "cockpit view" of the cars, something games need imo.

Looks good, and it'll be on PC/Xbox360/PS3, so you don't have to think what to buy.

I agree. Part of what made GTA and Vice so fun was that they were so mindlessly violet and fun. Not much got in the way...now a burger stands between you and your spree, and then they want to add fuel!

Rockstar, we don't want it more realistic in *playing*, we want it more realistic LOOKING. That is all.

if you want realistic driving maybe you should be playing racing games
GTA is about running people over, shooting stuff etc the unrealistic car physics make for a good portion of the fun, especially when yo ustart playing with the handling.cfg and get unflippable light weight insanely fast cars

i think that the fuel is totaly stupid it takes away from the simplecity of the game

if they want awsome grafix and physics like a care game should have they should just use the HL2 engin now that would look just awsome.
