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 install is about the same size, and that version of the game comes on one disc. previews , 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," jokes the Q&A.Customisable vehicles and weapons are also mentioned, but there are no new details on that front.Rockstar also confirmed that the game will come with a map, following long-standing Grand Theft Auto tradition, whether you buy the standard or the special edition.As for PC or next-gen versions of the game, Rockstar still has nothing to share on that front.If you want to get a glimpse of the game in action before September 17th, the first Gameplay Video, Rockstar says, is on its way soon.
