Emergency vehicles have LEDS for the first time, it's a small feature but it makes me very happy.

[Simas]

They have LEDs in GTA IV, they're just horrible, yet GTA V seems to fix that issue

[jacobc30]

They're not really LEDs, more like red and white flashing lights which don't look realistic at all.

This is unusual for me and still feels awkward to say, but GTA IV on console sucks, period. I own GTA IV on the PS3 and I thought the game was amazing, unfortunately, I too hated the lack luster detail added to emergency vehicles. I have since built my first gaming PC and I now own GTA IV on PC and let me tell you, the difference is extraordinary. I have emergency vehicle mods with makes the police, fire and ems almost life like. With the addition of texture and light mods the game is now immerse and realistic, just Google LCPD:FR for some awesome police role playing in game, I play the mod and love it. However, once again and this is weird to say GTA is much better on PC and I imagine everything your complaining about now will continue to go unchanged on console and will probably get fixed via a patch or mod on the PC.

What would be aewsom in GTA V, is that you have more light option on police, fire and ambulance units, like bluelight W siren, bluelight without siren and traffic advisor, that you an turn them singel on so you just can turn on traffic advisor alone, and not with bluelights

Guys, it's almost less than a month until gta v comes out! Omgggg

[Voodoo_Operator]

Many of you have probably seen this one, but here it is anyway - the Online trailer of Grand Theft Auto V: http://www.youtube.c...&has_verified=1

 

On a side note, strangely, it appears like they've kept the LSPD paint scheme on some cars. Here's the different police vehicles I have observed so far:

B&W Crown Vic with LSPD markings

White Crown Vic with sheriff markings

B&W Charger/Buffalo with "POLICE" markings 

B&W Taurus Interceptor with "POLICE" markings

B&W Suburban with sheriff markings

White + blue/green stripe Suburban with sheriff or border patrol markings

Black armored truck (NOOSE truck) with no markings (SWAT/FIB?)

B&W AS350 helicopter with "POLICE" markings

 

I wonder what the "POLICE" units are... LSPD running a new paint scheme along with the old? Special "3 star or more" unit (kind of like NOOSE from GTA 4- which we haven't seen so far in V)? SAHP/CHP?

[Newfoundking]

My thoughts on this are that we're gonna be seeing the LSPD Black and whites, and a SAPD, similar to the CHP with both white and POLICE markings, and then the Sheriff, similar to the LASD, and then something like Border cops, and SWAT. I don't think we'll be seeing a 3 star or more level of units yet. Maybe the Chargers and Tauruses could be used for that purpose?

[Dyson]

Surely with it being L.A they'd be daft not to include S.W.A.T (or some GTA equivalent) as it's the home of S.W.A.T.

They seem to have redone the PD units too, which leads me to think they'll likely be a lot more real to life than just a generic CV and impala. But who knows.

[Voodoo_Operator]

Upon further investigation, it appears the "SAHP" theory doesn't hold water. Both the old Crown Vic with LSPD markings and the new interceptors with "POLICE" markings have an LSPD recruitment sticker on the rear bumper. Also, officers in or around the new cruisers have dark blue LAPD-like uniforms, not beige uniforms that would resemble CHP. All the "new" cruisers have LED lightbars, whereas the Crown Vic has an old Code 3 with rotators.

 

Kind of a weird choice to have the same department use two different types of paintschemes, especially when you know LAPD has been using the same for decades and doesn't seem to be planning to change it anytime soon.

[C.F.D]

They're not really LEDs, more like red and white flashing lights which don't look realistic at all.

 

Actually, they are MUCH MUCH realistic looking now.

 

Here's the proof, and be aware that contains spoilers but shows a vast array of LSPD units and FIB units with lights on. I so can't wait to try them out : [spoilers]http://tinypic.com/p...hp?v=65642h&s=5[/spoilers]

My college GPA before GTA V is released...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

... and my college GPA after GTA V is released.

 

Oh lawdy lawd I can't wait for GTA to come out - it looks to be a VERY serious contender for GOTY, and much better than IV.

[Voodoo_Operator]

After months of speculation and guesstimates that came pretty close, the actual map has been made public: http://www.gtagaming.com/v/info/map

 

It's a scan, so it may be a little hard to read some of the text, but you get a general idea.

 

I spy... well a lot of things, actually:

-Purple lines appear to be the railroads. Industrial lines and freight yards in the city (also with a branch that leads near downtown, possibly to GTA's version of Union Station), and a long track that gets out of LS and loops around Mount Chiliad.

-Red lines appear to be a subway/light rail system of some kind. The network appears much less complex than it's GTA IV counterpart, but it's a nice surprise considering I thought they'd have none. 

-Another straight red line running along the side of Mount Chiliad. Cable car, probably.

-3 airports (LSX, a smaller airstrip in Sandy Shores, and Fort Zancudo, likely where all those jet fighters and choppers hail from.

-An oval racetrack

-A prison likely based on San Quentin

-Several police stations (6 in the city, 2 in the countryside) and hospitals (3 in the city, 2 in the countryside)

-A very complex network of roads and highways

-Around 20 icons that seem to indicate buyable properties

-Several icons that seem to indicate viewpoints

-A "state wilderness" area - sounds like a good spot to hunt and/or get mauled.

-A freeway named "Elysian Fields" - possibly a nod to the plot of L.A. Noire?

Spoiler

One of the major cases of L.A. Noire involved a fraudulent housing development called Elysian Fields that was actually part of an elaborate scam to obtain higher prices for land that the government intended to purchase to build the Los Angeles freeways

 

See anything else interesting?
