Rockstar has truly created a game to define a generation. The attention to detail is astounding. I am beyond excited and ready to slayed. If this is what they are doing with GTAV, I cannot even imagine what they are doing with Red Dead Redemption 2!
Or Bully 2...

Can you imagine if a lot of ATRLers joined and settled their Stan wars through shoot outs?

A Summary of the previews released so far (more info to come):
Summary:
Features:
- Players can invest in their character through customizing their appearance, improving their stats, owning customized vehicles, purchasing personal property, choosing their favourite weapons and vehicles and taking part in missions, jobs and activities.
- Players have the freedom to explore alone or with friends, work cooperatively to complete missions, band together to participate in activities and ambient events, or compete in traditional game modes.
- As progress is achieved through the world of GTA Online, players will be introduced to new characters, missions, rewards and such.
- A maximum of 16 players can be active at any one time as part of an online universe of hundreds of thousands competing to earn Reputation Points (RP), money and almost limitless material acquisition.
- As you speak into your headset, your GTA Online character will lip-sync broadly in time. When robbing a liquor store, AI characters will react to the urgency in your voice, stuffing money more quickly in the bag.
- The Content Creator will allow players to create and share their own missions and activities via the Social Club cloud.
- Other players can beat your target times and scores, then rate your mission. You can even choose which creators you want to follow and curate your favourite missions.
- The Feed, a twitter-like program, appears on screen to relay all your emails, texts and messages from Social Club.
- The world of Grand Theft Auto Online will constantly grow and change as new content is added, and at some stage GTA Online will head into new locations. Access to Grand Theft Auto Online is free with every retail copy of Grand Theft Auto V and launches on October 1st.
General:
- Your ranking will be based off of shooting, driving, parachuting and flying skills.
- People can access their data through Social Club and via their iPhones or iPads.
- There is a mode called "passive mode" which means you can't shoot people and they can't shoot you.
- A "Bad Sport" stat will be given for bad behaviour such as blowing up another player's car, and if it's done persistently you will be punished.
- if your multiplayer character at Max Payne 3 had a high level, it will be carried over to GTA: Online for more bonuses that you will unlock.
- Matchmaking is based off of ranking, so it prioritizes your friends' rankings, crewmembers' rankings and even strangers so that when you need people, you know who to get.
GTA Online tracks who your rivals are and lets you know when they've come online so you can get some revenge on them.
Multiplayer:
- You can assemble a team from your friends list, or recruit according to specialist skills. As you rob a liquor store or perform a heist, the team member that does the job gets the cash and can choose how much to share.
- It's possible to spread the wealth by sharing cash, weapons and ammo among your team. In turn, they can 'defect' and try to steal your cash.
- You can pick up your phone to 'ring' friends in single player and invite them into your world. Your friends will be listed under 'Contacts' on your phone.
- Set up challenges and post it to the Social Club and players can try and beat your score, if they beat your score -- you give them cash.
Miscellaneous:
- You start GTA: Online arriving to Los Santos pennyless and you must complete a few missions first to get a feel of the online.
- There will be loads of property to buy at different prices, according to their views and location. You can use your in-house CCTV to spy on people at your front door, or take showers, surf the net, change clothes and watch the game's many TV channels.
- You can take out insurance and ring for a replacement car if yours gets destroyed.
- You can pay a personal mechanic to fix your cars automatically, or deliver them to any location.
- You can also check any vehicle's stats for speed, handling etc, before making your choice to purchase.
- You can watch real-time events such as police chases on your TV moments after you see them speed past your house.
- Your custom cars show as markers on the map and get impounded if you leave them too long. You can pay to retrieve them.
- You will be able to deposit your money into your bank account as often as you can. When another player kills you, they can snatch the wallet right from your dead body.
- You can switch between single player and online mode by selecting your multiplayer avatar from the character wheel.
- If you're fleeing from another player, you can call up a buddy to hide your radar blip.
- Passengers will be able to change the in-car radio.
- You will have contacts available at anytime that will provide different services on or off mission, as you rank higher you will have access to characters with new and stronger abilities. Examples of such are being hidden from the radar and setting a bounty on another player if you're being chased.
- If you steal a vehicle, you can spray and change the plates. Some vehicle customisation businesses might not be willing to do that and you may get a wanted level.
- Weasel News will pick up people that have got wanted levels.
- There is a planning room in people's apartments.
- If you are in a heist and need some help, you can invite your friends and they will be teleported to you instantly.
- The experience is seamless between transitions for free-roam and missions.
- You can call up a private security firm to bring in an airstrike, i.e. destroy street races.

Have you fully braced yourselves for the fact that as much effort as you've put into the multiplayer, you're going to learn so much more once it finally goes live?
We're ready. It is a nightmare; we've not done anything on this scale before. But we're very respectful of the process. When you release single-player, you're kind of done. But this is going to be an ongoing thing. There's not going to be any rest.

d;l,;emf they gon be in that office with NO sleep for the next 2 years.

GTA Online is unlocked 2 weeks after the game is released so you can start knowing the map and the new mechanics and such.

- Convertible roofs being retracted is still in.
- You can pay a personal mechanic to fix your cars automatically or deliver them to any location.
As you look at your vehicles in your garage you can see their stats for speed, handling etc, before making your choice.
- You can share ammo, money and weapons with friends.
- Stealth kills with knives (slitting throats etc) confirmed.
- You can customise your phone and call your friends.
- You'll be able to set custom animations for your character.
- You can choose to steal from businesses and create heists with your friends or hire others to help.
- You can hire a bodyguard, to protect you at the bank for example.
- If you get killed holding all your cash, it will fall onto the streets.
It's important to keep cash for your daily activities and deposit the rest in the bank!
You can choose to wager it on races or invest in the stock market.
- Leslie Benzies claims that Los Santos is only the beginning. The volume of creator tools, missions and items will grow, but at some stage GTA Online will possibly head into 'new locations' (from Los Santos) depending on community feedback.
- You can invest in the stock market, attack listed companies and damage their share price. For example, instead of protecting cars, you'll be able to engage in a bit of market manipulation by investing your money in a car manufacturer and then running around town destroying every one of their vehicle models you come across. Suddenly that company is going to be manufacturing a lot of new cars..at which point your stocks will rise making profit!
- Player-owned vehicles occupy a permanent place in the world--they no longer disappear into the ether when you leave them somewhere--you can insure your fleet of cars to make sure all the money you've spent on upgrading them doesn't go to waste should you happen to encounter any wayward rockets.
- The player who physically receives the money from the cashier gets to decide how it's split between the team. If your buddy stiffs you on your share of the profit, you can either chase him down and steal it for yourself or keep your hands clean by hiring a hitman to take him out--it's your call. The game even tracks who your rivals are and lets you know when they've come online so that you can exact a little vengeance.
take my money pls
