So, it's been revealed. GTA Online is looking absolutely incredible.
Customisable characters
Properties and vehicles owned and managed by you
Ability to earn money for multiplayer purchases
Hideouts where you can invite friends to hang out
Co-op heists and jobs
Customisable races and deathmatch arenas
The list goes on!

Information from article:
Custom cars can be bought and insured to ensure their safety. if they're destroyed, you call the insurance company for a replacement. If you leave a car unattended for too long, it gets impounded, and you have to go to the impound lot to collect it, paying a small fee.
Players have the opportunity to hire private mechanics to work in their garages, repairing damaged cars and offerring the ability to have a car delivered to you on the move.
Custom emotes are an option, as described when a player lowers the roof of his convertible and flips off his friend.
Heists in GTA Online can share earnings, or choose to hog it for the leader's own use. Alternatively, other heist members can kill or steal from these greedy leaders, and take a cut for themselves... or the whole amount.
Police chases appear live on TVs accessible by the players, giving a real-time view of any chases players are involved in.
Using voice chat in-game, player characters lip-sync speech, and urgently telling shopkeepers in holdups to hurry up will actually increase the speed at which they comply. Calling out will alert guards, and act as a distraction for friends during heists and robberies.

In preparation for the reveal just over four hours from now, what are you hoping to see in GTA Online? What would seal the deal for you (if you haven't already been sold - and if not, what the hell is wrong with you?)?
Personally I'm hoping that there are no vehicle restrictions on the multiplayer. With such a huge expanse of game world, I would love to have access to every single vehicle you can get in singleplayer, unlike we see in GTA IV where only a selection are available.

[i]And as the Call of Duty trolls bombarded the forum with threads about the new game's multiplayer, we hardy few gathered around the beacon of hope that was... Grand Theft Auto Online.[/i]

Oh god, the article is making me even more hyped.
-
This makes me Randy! RIP Randy Savage
-
It was so beautiful I cried tears of joy
-
Im so ready for this game.
-
64 players for next generation. Make it happen.

If this comes out for my platform(PC), I'd love it. but... 1.I'm forever alone, so most of the experience that involves crews seems redundant. 2.I prefer to just do free mode, and I'm sure you don't get money for that. So no customization for me. 3. The over influx of game modes will be a problem when the game dulls down in the coming years. People will spread themselves thin throughout everything, and each lobby will end up having far too little people.

This game is already a 10/10 in my book. It looks so stinkin fun! Rockstar really outdid themselves.
-
Heists? Oh dear. That's... exciting. Hmm. Perhaps I should look into this game...
-
-
Looks great! A shared online world with tons of stuff to do. Some stuff in GTA Online sounds like Destiny. Bungie has to pull up its pants and wow us now.
-
Haven't cared for a grand theft since San Andreas
-
It also has been revealed that the multiplayer won't release till October 1st.
-
Holy shit.
-
It looks good, I just have so many questions now. Main;y about the apartments and garages and stuff. How do they manage that? Like is it every different free-roam world I go into I have to buy it again? Or do I keep that apartment forever? What happens if you join a free-roam where someone has bought the same apartment as you? How deep does character customization go? Face? Nose? Mouth? Height?

Edited by iGraviton: 8/15/2013 10:17:10 PMCool. Now I'm actually excited for GTA V.
-
It launches 2 weeks after launch wtf.
-
Looks very out-dated and bad. Ima pass.
-
All i want to do is fly that ac-130 like plane
-
Sounds pretty awesome, and yet I'm sure there will be people that still spend all of their time at the airport going up and down the runway, just like GTA IV.
-
Rockstar really doesn't want me to go outside.
-
I'm just curious how property owning will go. Still, I'm so freaking excited now. However, I'm trying not to get too hyped.
-
Ladies and gentlemen. We have our first game that can take on Destiny.
-
that wasn't what I expected when they said "gameplay"
-
PC version when Rockstar?
-
Looked amazing. They really revamped what GTA4 had going.
