We just posted ten new screenshots, now as promised here's an easy to read summary of all the juicy details revealed in today's hands-on previews.

What's your favorite feature.

General

  • The general "vibe" is that Rockstar has taken all the best elements from all of its games and included them in GTA V.
  • If you're walking normally it will be quite slow.
  • The framerate is pretty solid and there was no stuttering when switching between characters.
  • The flying under bridges achievements are back (from GTA IV). There is 50 to do.
  • Grove Street (from GTA: San Andreas) is back.
  • Every single shop front in the game is unique!
  • There is a lot more destructible objects/environments in GTA V. Things like gas cylinders, motor cars and fuel tanks can all be used to your advantage, including in missions.
  • Small things like animals yelping when hit and neon signs buzzing are included.
  • The map is open from the start.

Characters

  • The main NPCs have literally thousands of different animations.
  • Chop is actually Lamar's dog, not Franklin's, and he can be used to distract enemies.
  • Franklin has immediate access to a lot of high-end vehicles immediately thanks to Simeon's dealership.
  • Each character has his own "hang-out" area. Franklin in the ghetto, Michael in the business district and Trevor in the Wastelands.
  • Health will re-generate automatically to a maximum of 50% only.
  • A colored flash means that you are about to be switched to a different character. Blue means Michael, Green means Franklin and Orange means Trevor.
