Rockstar has released a few more details on Grand Theft Auto 5, one of my most anticipated games of the year, and you can read about em inside.
On Xbox 360, the game comes on two discs: one install disc, and one to play from. You won't need to ever switch between them, Rockstar says. That install is a requirement, though, you'll need 8GB of free space on your hard drive. The PS3 version will require a similar sized install, while coming on only one disc.
Rockstar also detailed how character switching works. You can switch between characters at any time off-mission whilst they're going about their daily lives. "You might drop in on Michael in the middle of a family dispute, interrupt Franklin chatting up some ladies, or Trevor on the run from the law – or whatever else these guys do in their free time," says Rockstar. "How and when you switch between characters when you’re not on a mission is completely up to you."
You'll be able to run into the other player characters as you walk around the map, and even seriously injure them if you're "determined" - but for obvious reasons, they can't die. "They all have remarkable powers of recovery and good health insurance," the Q&A jokes.
GTA V will arrive on September 17, for the PS3 and Xbox 360.
