    Since when is there a game that involves the origins of GoldenEye's facility?

    It' meant to be a pun. I think he's referring to Arkham Origins.

    New GTA V screenshot with a car that looks like a DB5.

    That would be cool if you could drive one in the game! And, if it had an ejector seat! ;)

    Here's a great five page hands-on with the game. Makes me even more excited for 'GTA V':

    so I heard they got real hood rats to voice gang members in the new gta game. That's pretty stupid to employ gangster hoodrats. Looking forward to the good games like Batman and MGS5.

    So that makes GTA V a bad game?

    for me it's a bad thing. Not to mention the game play sounds bad by switching characters mid game/mid mission....I don't get it. Not my kind of game. They haven't made a good gta game since gta2 for ps1!

    @WillardWhyte, I know many, many people who would disagree, but hey, it's your opinion. I say don't knock the whole 'switching characters' ability until you try it. I was disgusted by the idea for a while and wrote the game off, but once I saw all the gameplay and heard of everything you could do, I was in, and have been anticipating it ever since.

    I don't get it either, @Creasy47.

    That's actually one of the things I am most excited about. It is so cool that you could be playing as Michael one moment, and switch randomly to Trevor the next to unexpectedly find yourself in a deadly chase with police that you now have to get him out of. That is amazing, and really speaks of strong AI and gameplay.

    Have you ever played a game where they switch characters mid game? Think of MGS2, where your playing as Snake...all of a sudden switch to Raiden.....It sucked and left a bad taste in my mouth. I know it was Kojima just toying with us, but I didn't like it at all.

    I have, like 'State of Decay,' and it's fun as hell.

    What don't you get? Rockstar got real hood rats to do the voices in the game. That's top video game news

    @WillardWhyte, uhh...what? I mean, we totally get it, it's just hard for me to understand how that makes the entirety of the game bad or would take away from it being fun. You haven't even played it yet.

    I'm actually excited for the multiple character idea, seems really cool.

    Assassin's Creed 3 and it worked brilliantly.

    What? who said it was a bad game? I just don't like the idea of hiring criminals to voice criminals on a video game...it doesn't seem right. They are criminals for a reason

    There are a few exceptions to the rule...Assassins Creed has always been a good series.


    Mid game can work...mid mission I have my doubts..

    Yeah I have to say although it hasn't stopped me from looking forward to the game, I really don't see why they'd do that.

    Assassin's Creed has us switching characters all the damn time (Altair to Desmond, Desmond to Ezio to Desmond to Altair, etc). Syphon Filter started doing it with Syphon Filter 2. Tomorrow Never Dies had us switch to Wai Lin for a mission. COD does it so often it's difficult to care about any of them, except for Mason in Black Ops, who's not a silent protagonist. Back in the series early days, Resident Evil had multiple playable characters, and usually had us switching between them and secondary characters at many intervals. This is neither new, nor unheard of, and often times it's not a bad thing at all.

    MGS2 gave us Raiden to develop Snake as a character from an outside source. That, and teenage girls told him that playing as an old man was icky. Remember: if Kojima changes his mind about anything, it's because of teenage girls or death threats.

    So what about mid mission as the others have stated with the new gta game?

    I think that looks amazing, too. Rockstar could be one of the few developers to do this mechanic the right way, and do so brilliantly.

    yeah hiring criminals is brilliant too...they are breaking the mold for sure with this game.

    I still fail to see why you are so hung up on that. I think that's cool.

    So because they hired realistic people to voice gangsters AND because you switch characters mid mission, you're already writing the game off?
