A lot of angry fans sit there Tweeting, emailing, forum and blog posting about how Rockstar has abandoned GTA fans by not releasing GTA V info. Well, you be angry no more because we have new details today. Rockstar have released two brand new screenshots for the much-anticipated game via their latest "Asked and Answered" article. The first one you've already seen above and the second one is below... What we see here is good example of the improved engine. Why this probably won't be on a Max Payne level, due to the bigger world, it does look pretty damn sweet. My keen eye does not spot much new content, but one graphical improvement I would like to highlight is the picture clarity. GTA 4 sometimes looked blurry and hazy, especially at a distant. GTA V looks bright, clean and beautiful. Now, this one is more interesting. Although we already assumed this, it shows helicopters will be open to the player. I would also like to highlight the scale of the city. It's huge. See the building with the cranes on the left? Looks like the STD Contractor's building from the first trailer. Also, just under it, the smaller, rounder building, is next to the freeway from San Andreas if I remember correctly. Therefore, we can assume many old locations will return. The tall buildings in the background seem to indicate we are looking at the world from the Grove Street/Ganton area, but it is unlikely the layouts will match perfectly. Seems similar, doesn't it? Although the tall white building behind it is absent from the above screen.
