I believe that a larger and less-frowned upon deployment of sports is vital for the GTA series to innovate. Don't get me wrong, the game itself looks promising in terms of gameplay by the looks of the first trailer, but sports are definitely a must. I don't see how the game can thrive as it's expected to if Rockstar doesn't try something new, and from my perspective, that would be a larger implementation of sports. Football, Soccer, Hockey, Tennis etc.. should all be put in GTA V. Rockstar tried a bit of Sports in GTA SA i.e basketball and boxing but it got boring after a while. Plus, whats the fun when you're shooting hoops yourself? You can't even have boxing matches. If you actually wanna get in the ring you are required to have a different fighting skill other than boxing, and all you do is get taught the controls and everything after successfully beating the piss out of a bot for half a minute. Hell, you really couldn't have an actual boxing match. All the fighting styles in San Andreas, even including GTA IV (with the exception of cage fighting in BOGT) were all for show and maybe from others perspectives, self-defense.

A larger implementation of sports grants wonders for GTA V in my opinion. Cruising around in a stolen vehicle doing drive-bys as opposed to cruising around doing drive-bys and afterwards heading to a park to play a baseball game? Which one is obviously better?

The GTA series is a video game series of open-world sandbox games accompanied by a thrilling storyline to accomodate a broader spectrum of gamers. The implementation of sports could perhaps broaden that view much higher.

Sorry if I sound close-minded, but, if I don't see the option to have a game of ball, or a boxing match-.. f*ck, whatever it is, baseball game etc.. then I don't see GTA V becoming as successful and innovating as most people say. Maybe we'll see more enterable buildings and all but without sports, I just don't see the game as being great. Maybe the storyline, map and for those visual whores, graphics, could perhaps compensate for it all, but without sports I could find the game to be less interesting in terms of gameplay and freeroam.

What do you think? Is GTA V going to do well without sports, or do you think it'll flop, at least in the freeroam aspect?

Sports would be fun. I would like to see ping pong. It's simple and fun, and Rockstar have already nailed the mechanics on that game. But you can't expect too much. At some point you just need to buy FIFA, NBA, NHL, and Madden. It would be cool to be able to pick up a basket ball and freely shoot it in the basketball goal, and play 1 on 1 like that with a friend, but I don't see it being much more than that.

[Sanjiswaytocool]

IMO I could live without the sports. Mini-games are completely different (Bowling,Golf, Basketball) but I don't see a fully functional baseball, football, soccer, or even Frisbee-In-The-Dark game implemented into GTA 5.

"The GTA series is a video game series of open-world sandbox games accompanied by a thrilling storyline to accomodate a broader spectrum of gamers. The implementation of other fun activities could perhaps broaden that view much higher."

Imagine after doing a drive-by/whatever the hell you want to do in a regular GTA game, going to a big shopping mall, visiting the countryside to hunt for animals, drive into your GARAGE-phew..and entering your large house and enjoying the company of your dog or cat, f*ucking up a Walmart or any large department store, picking up a bunch of Mexicans and dropping them off to customers with terrible yards (Mini-game), or even trying to save enough money to refurnish/upgrade your houses.

The ideas are endless, eventually sports will be added but before that, expect more fun activities to be implemented. I'm sure you'll be pleased.

I would love to see Baqsketball, Baseball and Football in V.
and Cricket too. Maybe....

[abottig]

Surfing.

[nic_23]

I don't like the idea of sports being added and I don't think rockstar will be adding them.

Why do you say that nic_23?? It would awesome and fun to see them in game.,

[Cyfa]

I want basketball. LA is a very predominant basketball city with the Lakers and the Clippers being very exciting and popular teams. I'm still pulling for an assassination mission for someone with courtside seats to a Lakers (whatever name R* gives the team) I think it would be cool. But yeah if there's to be a sport, I think it should be basketball.

[loony979]

sorry but every 1 is gonna be to busy cruising around in there jets lol - SA Sports Was horride

[NightFever]

Beach Volley ball or some other beach sports as they'd perfectly match the game's setting

[gtav nut]

was watching Dynamo lastnight, he was in L.A and went to a batting cage.....so i would like to see them.

He was also drifting cars on an abandoned freeway near LA, so would love that too.

[Ryanbashaw]

We need more motor sports where we can do tricks on dirt bikes and pull off combos

More illegal street racing with car customization like need for speed underground

[Ryanbashaw]

If they made the basket ball mini game like nba street vol 2 that be cool

I like sports. I liked it when we could play B-ball with CJ.

However, if the 40-50 year old man that we saw in the trailer were to be the main character we control; it would be better if we did not have any sports. It would ruin the feel of the game.

[HeNDo6750]

Table tennis. For one was Rockstars first game in the RAGE engine, and second something better than constant bowling

[JamesBuxton]

If they don't add go-karting to the minigames section they've missed some major fun opportunities. It'd be easy to do, and much more fun than the normal street racing stuff!

An LA Galaxy parody would be good.

exactly LA is very famous for their basketball team
altough there is only a 1% chance but i hope R* adds Football(Soccer for Americans)

[MyDog]

Shooting some hoops would be nice, but that's it.

I'm sure De Silva can play any sport in the game. He will just have to work out hard and his sex appeal will increase ingame(hoping that feature is implemented again)

[WhatThe?]

Why does everyone want Football??

Football is for over paid Pussies, like when the fall over they Cry. What faggots. f*ck Football.

We should be able to go Free Running..

I remember on Gta IV I went free running in China Town, I missed a bit of the ledge and fell to my death..
