GTA V unlikely until 2012

Janco Partners' Mike Hickey bullish on Take-Two, believes next installment in series could sell 16 million copies, generate $750 million.


Take-Two recently announced it was shifting its fiscal year to end on March 31 in order to better put it in line with other major game publishers. Today, Janco Partners analyst Mike Hickey issued an analyst note, which laid out some predictions for the New York-based publisher. Namely, that it will remain profitable even if the next Grand Theft Auto doesn't come out during its next fiscal year.

Don't expect the next GTA until 2012…at the earliest.

Hickey believes that Take-Two's 2011 fiscal year, which runs from April 1, 2011, until March 31, 2012, will feature two major game highlights: Max Payne 3 and L.A. Noire. He thinks those two games will lead a software lineup--which may also include the long-delayed Duke Nukem Forever--that can make the company profitable in a year without a GTA or a Red Dead game.

When GTA V does come out, "likely" in Take-Two's fiscal 2012 (April 2012-March 2013), Hickey believes it will be yet another blockbuster, selling upward of 16 million copies and generating over $750 million by itself. He predicts that year will also see the release of BioShock Infinite, which he estimates will sell over 4 million copies and $182 million in sales.

One major reason for the high sales expectations is the increased combined PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 installed based in the US, which he believes will be 41 million units by the end of calendar year 2010. That compares to just 14 million in April 2008, when Grand Theft Auto IV originally came out.

First off i wanna state that i am making this thread incredibly early but want this thread to be about everybody's opinions, predictions and possible locations before we get some actual real news itself.

edit






almost 1 year later...








Rockstar Games has just officially announced Grand Theft Auto 5 on its official website.

There are absolutely no details yet - just a date for the first trailer, which is coming next Wednesday, the 2nd of November.

We will have much more on this announcement - including that trailer - in the very near future. Stay tuned!

Now, let's all start speculating on the design of the V in this logo. Looks like green to us...

For the PS4?

From what i've read the PS3 is meant to have a 10 year lifespan prior to PS4, so no..



But we aren't ready for PS4.. anyway, it'll come with the successor to bluray and the games then will probably be around 1000GB.

probably start off around $599 again as well, no joke...

btw, i wouldn't mind another GTA in london. Kill me some wankers and be bloody proper.

i hope GTA adds more arcade elements to their game

to me

Vice City>>>GTA IV

mostly because it was incredibly arcadey an less realistic

if they could mesh the two elements well i will be highly intrigued

i think they should set it back in the 70's so i can ride around in badass muscle cars

I believe this is using an entirely new engine, plus a step further in graphics.

Vice City is in my top 10 PS2 games ever. Ray Liotta ftw, seriously.

Lulz, I highly doubt that, by 2016 the PS3 will be highly out-dated.

Put it like this loc loc, the Xbox 720 will surpass and beat the PS3 in all categories, but that will be surpassed by PS4.

(fanboyism, realityism, truestoryism, :luvbed: :nana: )

No doubt, but waiting for 2016, is over doing it.

But we've yet to see PS3's full power..


here is an example, FFXIII-VERSUS

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkZvdT3QS4k

also set for 2012.

GTA IV tried to be too gritty and realistic.

I'm playing through San Andreas again at the moment and it's miles ahead of GTA4. They need a game with the scope of San Andreas again, airports, deserts, country sides, casinos, dams, rivers, gang territories, farms, connecting cities, free ways.

GTA4 compared to San Andreas is so ****. Saints Row 2 had the right idea, the mechanics just weren't robust enough.

I worked a lil deal behind the 'curtains' with Sony so Ether, this Christmas eve make sure you look under your Christmas tree.

;)

I hope they listen to what most of us are saying, Vice City & San Andreas >>>>>>>>>>>>> GTA 4.

Grand Theft Auto 5 Rumours Ramp Up

Supposed casting list points to LA setting for Rockstar's next.

UK, March 8, 2011 March 8, 2011 March 8, 2011

IGN UK

A casting list that's being linked to Take Two suggests that GTA V could be set in Los Angeles, or Los Santos as it's known within Rockstar's fictional universe.

Internet sleuth Superannuation has once again been doing the digging, unearthing a full and detailed casting list for a project known as Rush. It's not uncommon for games to carry codenames that bear little relation to their final titles – GTA IV was at one point in production simply known as Frozen.

The casting list details characters that would fit within Rockstar's heavily satirical worldview, with 'weed evangelists', 'neurotic soccer moms' and 'Armenian car dealers' all in the post on The Agency.

Rumours that GTA V would be set in Hollywood first started circulating last year, and Rush's cast of stoners and Californian divorcees would appear to back up that claim.

Los Santos made a starring appearance in GTA: San Andreas, a game that's held up as a series highlight.

looks like it could well likely be back in the cali setting like San Andreas.

I wasn't expecting to come out so soon, but i knew it wouldn't be this year. Rockstar is smart with their releasing of games like that. I figured La Noir could have been released last year but they had so much success with RDR and Undead Nightmare that it wasn't needed. This year I've already got La Noir reserved and i've been waiting for Max Payne 3.

I wouldn't mind 1 of 2 things for GTA 5. First I wouldn't mind them starting the cycle over again, last gen was NY, Mia, Ca. So it would be cool if this game was in Miami. Also, I really wouldn't mind another Niko story, I liked his style, just a mean eastern eurpean sob.

San Andreas 2? :fingersx:

Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase be true :wank:

Whispers keep cropping up around the highly anticipated next entry in Rockstar's mammoth Grand Theft Auto series. This one adds fuel to the fire of a 2012 release.

GameSpot is reporting that their sources close to Rockstar claim that Grand Theft Auto V is "well underway" and that, despite its large scale, a 2012 release is "pretty likely." Apparently, Rockstar is mostly through the primary design stage and is adding in smaller elements like minigames at this point.

This talk comes on the heels of a possible retailer leak pointing to a 2012 release and a casting call that hints GTA V may return to San Andreas.

GOTY 2012, close thread.

Hell yes. Bring back the gang wars! :banana:

GOTY, no doubt.

Damnit bring back Vice City!

i didnt like San Andreas that much.

Vice City FTW!!!!

there are palm tree's on the label.............

I think those might be a reference to Hollywood.

San Andreas is easily my favorite GTA game. There are a few things I didn't like about Vice City.

1. Small map, you end up driving around the same areas over and over again, which gets boring.

2. It's just two small islands.

3. No variety. No deserts, no countryside. It's just one city.

The world is bigger than New York, Miami and California.

Id like to see London, Moscow or even a small dark horse city like New Orleans. Something different....

Sand Andreas is AMAZING :wank:

Loved cruising through the countryside finding villages.

GTA London would be epic! Didn't Danny Dyer do a voice over in one of the GTA games? Vice City i think it was. Could you imagine a whole game of ****ney wide boys LOL.

That's been my pick since I first started thinking about it. I would LOVE to see that. The atmosphere in a game like that would be nuts.

They should model teh main character after Michael Caine in Get Carter.

Or Paul Bettany in Gangster No.1
http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r178/euchridcaps/gangster%20no%201/vlcsnap-1190288.png

I hope this will take place in San Andreas w/ Vice City as another fully accessible city. Just like what they do on GTA SA w/ San Fierro and Las Venturas. That will be epic!

What's to say, it can't be set in one city, only for you to hope on a plane at a later point and fly to another, i.e. London, Paris, Lima or Rio?? Having downloaded the DLC city of your choosing.... Just a thought.

GTA 4 sucked balls compared to VC and San Andreas.Hopefully they go back to the roots more

Thats abit harsh. I would say GTA4 is one of the best games on the current consoles.

To this day GTA4 (including BOGT and TLAD) still get 10's of thousands of users online at any given time. Its actually sometimes difficult finding a game because alot of the servers are full.

Not bad for a game that 'sucks balls'.

It doesn't suck balls.

But it does suck balls compared to Vice City & San Andreas.

Hell yeah.

You could do Swamps and stuff and explore the cajun Aligator culture or you could explore the ghetto and Magnolia projects. French Quarter etc Not to mention the funny accents.

It doesn't suck balls.

But it does suck balls compared to Vice City & San Andreas.

I just never found GTA4 to be all that fun to be honest, it was a little too serious and exploring kind of sucked. The storyline was trying to be too relevant imo with the immigration thing, GTA should be serious comedy **** and not take itself too seriously.

Every GTA I've love to explore the map, I didn't bother on GTA 4 because it's all dull and pretty much looks the same everywhere.

GTA 4 was by far the least entertaining out of them all.

Did any of you even finish GTA4? it's rated 10 almost everywhere, the story was fantastically written. It was the first next gen GTA like GTA3 was the first Last Gen GTA.

I finished GTA 4 quicker than the rest because there wasn't much else to do.

Don't get me wrong, it's still a great game IMO. It's just nowhere near as fun as San Andreas.

What I hated about GTA4 was that Nico had a concience.. I would've loved to be able to steal, rape and kill anybody with him screaming russian curse words at everyone!

Over the top can be quite funny, which GTA4 kinda lacked..

lol, that isn't grand theft auto. GTA is a protagonist who did some F-ed up stuff in his past, then tries to find a new life but has to undergo trials and tribulations to get there. With the ending never showing the protagonist finding his salvation/happiness.

I doubt highly that Max Payne will be released this year. It's supposed to be coming out in a few months yet i've heard no hype about.

I'm not complaining though. Rockstar makes my favorite games so i don't mind when they take their time, just ripped LA Noire in half and i still play it.

IMHO I think LA Noire is going to be the major release this year, Max Payne next year & if the world doesn't end then GTA 5 in 2013.

Yeah, and that type of character have been played out by now.. The criminal with the conscience who just gets pulled back in the game he tried to leave behind.

Rockstar needs to spice up the characters a bit!

Like Red Dead Redemption man.. I LOVED that game, game of the year for me.. but come on, the story did NOT fit my actions..

I would tie up prostitutes and put'em on traintracks, tie up people and feed'em to wild animals, shoot random drunks, get into bar fights and shoot the idiot when he hit me, steal, cheat etc etc..

But as soon as the story began like *spoiler* When that mexican al pacino is raping a few girls, my char John gets all sensitive over the whore?

What the **** man?

Don't give me complete freedom and then force my character to be a ***** *****.

Max Payne 3 is more than half done, Remedy is not doing it. It's Rockstar still but the people who brought you Max 1 and 2 are working on Alan Wake 2. Hence the new Max Payne being bald with a goatee in brazil...... trust me it'll be out later this year, and it isn't anything to worry about...

^^^^this......

well ive been a loyal fan of the gta series since the early days and i must say gta4 by far has been my favorite. I mean niko is just so badass man his story reminds me of my uncles life when he came from mexico as an immigrant and started workin as a dishwasher and gets into the life of crime in just days after gettin here. The way the story is crafted and the decisions that you had a choice to make really made the game different from other gtas. However san andreas was crazy and to me was longer than gta4 i really enjoyed that one too. I hope that in the NEW gta they make the main character a hispanic kinda like the one in ballad of gay tony. But im sure that whoever they put will make an awesome character no doubt.

So, what i am understanding is you would like to be able to control the actions of your character on the main storyline. Like when you have the option to kill someone or let them live but have a greater impact on the main story?

Sounds sorta difficult to me. The closest thing to that on next gen consoles IMO is Mass Effect series. You hump this chick, let her die, import to the sequal, that chick gone and everyone knows you bumped uglies with her. :lol1:


I just want gang wars back. I want to have my own gang though. Create one from scratch. choose your colors/symbol. start from nothing, just 2-3 homies. fight for turf, sell dope, tag, extort people, racketeering, boosting, prostitution. All that stuff. That would be hard. I wouldn't do it in real life, i like not being in prison but on a video game? Shiiieeeet, all things goes.

I wasnt really a fan of San Andreas but Id love for gang wars to come back, they would have been great in GTA4 aswell, you sometimes see gang members driving about in cars but they are few and far between.

Also bring back bmx's and mountain bikes. They were the dogs bollocks.

Oh and also countryside and deserts or general similar open areas, it was great fun driving around them.

Apparantly the next GTA is supposed to be set in LA, pretty dissapointed to be honest, so sick of LA in video games, especially after LA noire.....wish they would do a GTA in the UK, that would be mint.

I wouldn't have minded a few choices in Red Dead, Flick. Like when that Mexican Al Pacino is raping those chicks there shoulde be the option:
1. redemption - Get all sensitive over it
2. Psycho - Go over there and join the fun and rape a girl
3. maniac - Shoot the mexican al pacino in the face (story ends)

THAt my friend.. would make the game a 10/10 hands down.

It would allow my char to act in story mode like he does in free roam!

Yeah. It's basically a san andreas remake but with gta4 graphics and engine.

I don't think it would work in the UK. The law of citizens not owning guns kinda pwns GTA. Same reason why a tokyo gta would be hard to do.

I see what you mean. Like Fallout 3 or Mass Effect 2.

Have different options that effect the story line, one way or another.

It wouldn't really change all that much really since John, Nico whoever is gonna do evil deeds regardless of you like it or not. It'll just give you different responses to it before you do it.

So you basically want a game like Heavy Rain?

He's a 360 user, how would he know about Heavy Rain gameplay.

You never know he might of played the game...

Or at least read about it :hmmm:

So you basically want a game like Heavy Rain?

YIKES!? **** no.

Give me a free roam game like GTA4 - Red Dead but with moral choices at key points in the story to fit my gameplay.. So if I decide to feed prostitutes to wild animals I wanna be able to be equally as bad in story mode! :)

Haha, Champ can never just take a jab. Stop hating on Heavy Rain, Bro. The game owns your little Alan Wake!

??? how far are you in Heavy Rain?

Haha, Champ can never just take a jab. Stop hating on Heavy Rain, Bro. The game owns your little Alan Wake!

I finished the game the other day.

I never suspected the person who was the origami killer. Took me by surprise.

Haha, Champ can never just take a jab. Stop hating on Heavy Rain, Bro. The game owns your little Alan Wake!

The two of you are such fanboys man. And for the record, **** Allan Wake, got repetitive after the first chapter.

That's garbage. G4 should get ahold of this. They could put it out there to all the gaming fans and get that bill denied.

i was thinking about this the other day, are the gta games action/adventure OR rpgs? i guess they are both. by the way heavy rain rocks, so does castlevania los

Will GTA V use L.A. Noire's Facial Technology?
Rockstar is looking at using Team Bondi's methods.

One of the most striking innovations in gaming this year has been the dynamic and realistic facial animation technology in Rockstar's L.A. Noire. It looks like the company could be planning to use the same technology in its forthcoming Grand Theft Auto V.

Brendan McNamara, co-founder of L.A. Noire developer Team Bondi told UK magazine PSM3, "I think they're looking at it for every game. As much as L.A. Noire is a huge game, Grand Theft Auto is incredibly huge, so you've got all the problems of how big the cast would be and how many lines would you have to record and all that kind of stuff.

"It brings a level of humanity to the experience that means people will - in the first few minutes - start relating to the characters on screen. They don't have to make that decision about 'whether I like this guy' or 'do I actually believe them? - but they can make all the like or dislike decisions based on the actor's performance."

He added, "Rockstar will make those decisions. They generally make the right decisions in terms of what they do for their games. Obviously we'd like them to, and they're more than welcome to use MotionScan, but if they decide it's not right for that and want to use it for another game, then that's fine too."

i hope GTA adds more arcade elements to their game

to me

Vice City>>>GTA IV

mostly because it was incredibly arcadey an less realistic

if they could mesh the two elements well i will be highly intrigued

i think they should set it back in the 70's so i can ride around in badass muscle cars

San Andreas > ALL

Grand Theft Auto four had adequate graphics and good physics. But in comparison to San Andreas, it was missing the core elements that made San Andreas one of the most enjoyable video games to date.

Vice City did have the best story though. Or maybe I am just being bias because Scarface is one of my favourite movies. (Vice City and Scarface had a similar plot)

they need to take elements from each game.. vice citys abiltity to aquire assets was fun the ability to own car lots, **** studios, biker bars etc... San Andreas depth,the ability to totally customize, name weight size would be sweet for the charecters, the feeding um, being able to gamble to make money, maybe start a scheme would be cool...
GtAVI with the phone internet **** was raw intergrate the **** make totall customizable charecters who can travel the world and be criminals.... Stealing artwork, being an assassin, money laundering, pimping, fighting, gangbanging etc. the should wait til 2013make it the biggest baddest gameever

Really should do what saints row 1 and 2 did with pick your own character make it look like you. I think Saints Row 3 will be game of the year this year, it looks great you can fly what appears to be fighter jets in it and hit ppl with big ass dildos.

But the one thing that pisses me off is that you don't get to customize your characters face. You're a white guy with a certain hair. Don't know why they had to **** that feature up.

I tried to play the last Saints Row, i just couldn't get in to it. Seemed like a poor mans GTA.

I hope its not a San Andreas remake :( ...Rap music is crap music and my mrs got fed up of me talking like a homie :haha:

Grand Theft Auto 5 Officially Announced
Rockstar's website shows that Grand Theft Auto 5 is coming.


Rockstar Games has just officially announced Grand Theft Auto 5 on its official website.

There are absolutely no details yet - just a date for the first trailer, which is coming next Wednesday, the 2nd of November.

We will have much more on this announcement - including that trailer - in the very near future. Stay tuned!

Now, let's all start speculating on the design of the V in this logo. Looks like green to us...

I take it then GTA 5 will take up 5 discs for teh 360? :D

The way the V is designed screams West Coast, or Southwest.

The way the V is designed screams West Coast, or Southwest.

From what I've heard you play an Irish leprechaun in Compton that has a passion for anal sex with prostitutes

GTA IV tried to be too gritty and realistic.

I'm playing through San Andreas again at the moment and it's miles ahead of GTA4. They need a game with the scope of San Andreas again, airports, deserts, country sides, casinos, dams, rivers, gang territories, farms, connecting cities, free ways.

GTA4 compared to San Andreas is so ****. Saints Row 2 had the right idea, the mechanics just weren't robust enough.



first off i want to say THANKS FOR THE UPDATE! the thread started letting me know the trailer is finally due out this wednesday!


but I agree with this statement. . . GTA 4 was tight and all, but even a 7-8 is a huge letdown considering i thought san andreas was almost a 10. . . SA is the best IMO. . . Followed by Vice City. . .

God I hope 5 meets all my expectations. . . AND I LOVE THE IDEA OF IT BEING IN LONDON!!! Then maybe have airports and finally be able to fly to cities over the world. . . It would be tight if you could hijack passenger airplanes and fight your way out from the FBI and **** waiting for you when u land! like be actually able to view the inside of the airplane and **** from takeout to landing.

Just 2 more hours until the trailer will be out...

hopefully they'll continue to tone down the dick jokes and blatant sexual innuendos like they did with IV. that's one thing that i've always hated since GTA3, SA was absolutely littered with that crap. rockstar has taken their games a lot more seriously now with RDR and LA noir, i'm hopin they'll keep the film quality trend with GTAV.

12 more minutes...!

San Andreas!

It looks great! I can't wait to play it :D

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas 2

Sh** was fantastic for a first teaser trailer. Going to be a tremendous game, I can't wait to find out if this is just Los Santos or all of San Andreas again.

If you look closely you can see guys pumping iron, I want to be able to make my character jacked again.

I just masturbated

Notice the sexual hints already, "Mile High Club", Speedophile 2000 on the Jetski.

Dude, what?

Dude, what?
hopefully they'll continue to tone down the dick jokes and blatant sexual innuendos like they did with IV. that's one thing that i've always hated since GTA3, SA was absolutely littered with that crap. rockstar has taken their games a lot more seriously now with RDR and LA noir, i'm hopin they'll keep the film quality trend with GTAV.
i don't know, it's just tasteless and unprofessional. takes me out of the game sometimes. ruins the immersion of the game for me seeing **** like that.

Oh I see, so you were just referring to the sexual stuff, not to my post. OK.

i don't know, it's just tasteless and unprofessional. takes me out of the game sometimes. ruins the immersion of the game for me seeing **** like that.

I only hate it when the characters are constantly talking about it. Except Brucie. Brucie was so pathetic it was hilarious, and that's exactly what they want you to think about him.

I can ignore the stuff just out in the game world.

Mass Effect 3 had a chance at GOTY 2011.

In U.S, nothing stops GTA.

GTA V 2012 GOTY.

So do you never read anything, listen to the radio or do anything in GTA games?

As far as I can remember, the GTA series has always had innuendos everywhere.

Too bad its fake

Rockstar Games announced that Grand Theft Auto V was in full development and that it would take place within Los Santos and its "surrounding hills, countryside and beaches", and that it would be "the largest and the most ambitious game Rockstar has yet created", with Sam Houser describing it as a "radical reinvention of the Grand Theft Auto universe". A version of Los Santos was previously featured in 2004's Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, along with two other cities that were part of that rendition of the state of San Andreas (Las Venturas and San Fierro, based on Las Vegas and San Francisco, respectively). Rockstar parent Take-Two called GTA V "a bold new direction in open-world freedom, storytelling, mission-based gameplay and online multiplayer," while confirming that its story will focus on "the pursuit of the almighty dollar in a re-imagined, present-day Southern California." No release date or platforms were provided in the announcement.

I'm really looking forward to this game...

I wonder if they'll do something with the whole gang thing again
It was fun fixing up a lowriders to scout your hood for rival gangsters

Possibly 2013? damn.


GTA V Arriving in 2013, Says Analyst
Rockstar investors told big crime game will miss 2012 window.

A leading business analyst group has released a statement suggesting that Grand Theft Auto V will be released in March 2013, and not late 2012 as previously thought.

Publisher Rockstar has yet to officially announce a release date for its much-anticipated crime-spree adventure, but various retail leaks and the company's previous form in marketing time-lines have suggested a 2012 arrival.

A launch trailer for GTA V was unveiled in November last year, setting the game in a Los Angeles-type city and featuring a retired criminal as the lead character.

Rockstar released its first trailer for the series' predecessor GTA IV almost exactly a year before the game was released. This pattern was repeated with the pre-launch marketing of Red Dead Redemption.


But financial analysts at Sterne Agee say the game will drop in March next year. The company is warning investors - who are keen to reap a dividend from such a huge money-spinner - that Rockstar will seek the extra time to polish the game. It argues that a later date makes sense to avoid clashing with other major franchises like Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed, while waiting for a larger installed base of Wii U, due to launch later this year.

Rockstar has enjoyed significant success with launches in the March-May time-frame in recent years, with GTA IV, Red Dead Redemption and L.A Noire.

Sterne Agee's games industry analyst Arvind Bhatia had previously said that the game will arrive in 2012, but is now pushing the date back. He has not revised projected sales figures of 25 million units within its first year.

Ex-Rockstar Information Leak

An Examiner article publicized a large chunk of GTA5-related rumors, stating the following:

"It has recently been brought to our attention that a poster over on the official GameSpot forums have posted a massive list of unreleased information about the future title, Grand Theft Auto V. Through a post, that has since been deleted by the forum moderators over on the GameSpot forum, along with the poster, a user by the name of Gloggle has revealed that he is a friend of an ex-RockStar employee that was fired for misconduct. Now, it seems that the ex-RockStar employee now has the intentions of leaking information on GTA V."

1. The protagonist will be one character, and one character alone. His name is (as some rumours said) Albert De Silva. He's a half hispanic man who was once part of a crime family in Vice City. He decided to settle down and have kids in Los Santos. He has one son called Kevin De Silva who is your stereotypical CoD player. He's lazy, useless and shouts racial abuse online and is really into FPS games. Kevin does admire his Dad though.

2. Multiplayer will hold 32 people on the Xbox and PS3. I wasn't told how many were able to be on the PC. Just like in RDR, players will be able to form Gangs. These gangs are not ranked through XP anymore, but via Reputation. Instead of gang hideouts, you can do jobs that range from robbing a launderette to breaking into a military base and stealing state-of-the-art weaponary. The Gang leader has much more control over his or her gang by being able to rank members of their gang and setting more specific objectives to specific members of their gang. Gangs can have their own terratory but this only applies to areas inside the city of Los Santos.

3. The map is about 5x as large as the GTA IV map and the City of Los Santos takes up just under half of this area (so it's a bit bigger than 2 GTA IV Liberty Cities). The map is (like most GTAs) seperated into three different sections.

4. Planes are flyable, they range from World War 2 fighter planes to Private Jets.

5. Cars and guns are customisable to an extent, for example, you can customise a gun to have a supressor on it and you can install nitrous into cars.
Here's some stuff you might like:

1. The protagonist is the "rich guy" from the GTA V debut trailer. You get to learn more about this man in the second when he talks about his troubles. You only see the protagonist twice in the trailer. First time is the side of his face and second time is when he is driving a Deceptor (Audi R8). The people robbing the jewellery store are just with the protagonist. He is driving the van ready to get away.

2. Gunfights are more realistic. When you are shooting a gun out of a window of a car, depending on how fast it's going you will have troubles aiming due to shaking cameras.

3. The game is due in May 2013. A more specific date has not been decided because the game is still needing 6 months to be fully developed. They will have a playable demo at E3.

4. Police chases are now way more than either running or driving. Depending on how wanted you are, police may bring out riot shields and flash bangs.

5. When someone reaches 4 star wanted level, there will be a radio warning on some stations.

6. Radio stations now do traffic reports that are actually correct. So if you don't know what route to take, you can check the traffic reports on your phone or the radio.

7. The in-game TV now has many more channels.

8. The protagonist DOES NOT die unlike in the last two Rockstar games.

9. The underworld actually has a working economy that you can contribute too by buying and selling drugs, weapons and illegal cars in single player.

10. The protagonist can take drugs which will have some effects. But smoking weed on the streetwalk will lead to getting a one star wanted level.

11. Police cars will go after you if you're obviousely breaking the speed limit. Having high speed crashes will also damage your health.

Wanted levels:

1 star - police follow you on foot and try to make an arrest. No sirens, no car chases (unless you are speeding).

2 star - police will still attempt to make an arrest. If a weapon is drawn then the police will begin opening fire. Police will use stun guns if a weapon is not drawn.

3 star - Chases begin and the police don't care how they stop you, they just want to do it.

4 star - road traps, radio stations and much more hostile police.Even when you have evaded them, they will still search for 24 in-game hours for someone matching your description.

5 star - shoot to kill, arrest only if it's made very possible. Even when you have evaded them, they will still search for 48 in-game hours for someone matching your description. Few missions become unavailable if you are wanted.

6 star - military vehicles come after you. Even when you have evaded them, they will still search for 72 in-game hours for someone matching your description. Some missions become unavailable if you are wanted.

**** yeah this sounds amazing :D

Map is 5x larger than GTA 4? I love it, I loved the countryside in San Andreas.

Cant freakin wait for this.

GTA >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

GTA San Andreas is GOAT

2. Multiplayer will hold 32 people on the Xbox and PS3. I wasn't told how many were able to be on the PC. Just like in RDR, players will be able to form Gangs. These gangs are not ranked through XP anymore, but via Reputation. Instead of gang hideouts, you can do jobs that range from robbing a launderette to breaking into a military base and stealing state-of-the-art weaponary.The Gang leader has much more control over his or her gang by being able to rank members of their gang and setting more specific objectives to specific members of their gang.

....Boxingscene Gang :lol1:

2013?...........damn

GTA IV tried to be too gritty and realistic.

I'm playing through San Andreas again at the moment and it's miles ahead of GTA4. They need a game with the scope of San Andreas again, airports, deserts, country sides, casinos, dams, rivers, gang territories, farms, connecting cities, free ways.

GTA4 compared to San Andreas is so ****. Saints Row 2 had the right idea, the mechanics just weren't robust enough.

I agree with you on that! GTA SA was such a huge game. Skydiving was so badass!

I'm really looking forward to this game...

I wonder if they'll do something with the whole gang thing again
It was fun fixing up a lowriders to scout your hood for rival gangsters

http://www.gtagaming.com/images/mods/cjped.jpgthe hooked up lowriders were the best cars in the game IMO. I used to drive them from Los Santos to all my other garages so I had them available. Fast enough, handled well, could fit 3 other gang members, could really take a beating.

yeah gta sa was awesome bro..........

DAMMIT! I need that sh1t NOW!!!!

The only game i have ever been excited about. Im not a big gamer, and cant remember ever looking forward to a game being released.

San Andreas + GTA 4 graphics + (hopefully) Vice City characters = My life will be over the day i buy that game.

They still haven't announced a release date. Going on Rockstar's history with GTA, I can't see this coming out any later than April or May next year, and I'm still holding out hope it comes out this year.

Man, if even half the stuff that's been leaked about this game is actually true, this will be the greatest game ever.

i talked to my local gamestop today, and they said that there's no definite date for release, but that it's scheduled for january 1st in their books, which means anywhere from november 2012 to march 2013.

i might have to lock myself in my house away from the free world for a couple weeks once this comes out

New image, with some details:

http://www.gamedot.co.uk/2012/11/08/the-gta-v-rumour-mill/

You will be playing as an “east coast gangster”

This has been a popular one. Reports have suggested that in GTA V, the main character will be a middle-aged East Coast gangster who returns to Los Santos in search of a fresh start. This latest rumour was seen in the print version of this week’s Shortlist magazine. An older protagonist would be a change for Rockstar in a GTA title, and after Max Payne 3 we know they can teach an old dog new tricks…


There will be more than one Protagonist

If this rumour is true then it would mark a seismic shift in how a GTA game is played. Reports suggest that the GameInformer GTA V issue has leaked out information that you will play as two characters, Albert DeSilva a 42 year old “half American, half Puerto Rican” who is pulled back into a world of crime to make money (apparently Breaking Bad is an influence), and Dougie Vejo who is an up and coming LA Criminal. How would two characters pan out for GTA V? Would we see an intertwining storyline with both characters? Or two separate campaigns? The possibility this rumour presents is certainly intriguing.


Some San Andreas hallmark locations return

Rockstar have changed things a little for GTA V, instead of a full-on San Andreas state sandbox, we are now in Los Santos, which in within San Andreas. This is still set to be a massive location and rumour has it that GTA V’s Los Santos will include Grove Street, the neighbourhood you start out at in GTA: SA. The bad news is that Carl and Sweet won’t be making a return. No Boyz in the Hood inspired shenanigans then!


Customisation is back

One thing that GTA IV was missing was the excellent customisation options that were present in GTA San Andreas. If the latest reports are to be believed then we can expect some character customisation tol return, such as clothes and hair/facial hair, sadly though no sign of Gyms or tattoos. On the plus side car customisation is apparently set to return to the series. Expect to be hooking up the Infernus with nitrous and some low riding suspension.


Music and mini games

Some of the songs featured in the soundtrack are rumoured to be ‘My Michelle’ – Guns and Roses, ‘Magic Power’ – Triumph, ‘California Dreamin’ – Beach Boys, ‘Beautiful’ – Snoop Dogg feat Pharrell. There is also the alleged return of Lovefist (now known as The Jezzies) and mini games that include golf, tennis and surfing.

Which, if any, of these rumours that do end up being accurate remains to be seen but one thing that is 100% true is that fans of the series will be eagerly watching this evening for the first details to emerge online. Rockstar have also announced that the second trailer for GTA V will be released next week on Wednesday November 14th. We will have all the latest details and news as it unfolds on Gamedot.

--

I just pre-ordered it. I can't wait no more :no:.

http://www.videogamer.com/xbox360/gta5/news/gta_5_all_the_game_informer_details.html

GTA 5 "evolves nearly every mechanic" found in previous games in the series.

Features the biggest open world in the series' history - GTA 5's world is bigger than the worlds of Red Dead Redemption, San Andreas and GTA IV combined.

Three playable characters who you can switch between "at nearly any time".

Each character has their own specific abilities and story arc, with all three stories intertwined.

Camera zooms out to a "Google Earth-style" perspective when switching characters.

Character 1 - Michael, an ex-bank robber in his early 40s who retired after making a deal with the FIB. He has two teenage children and hates his wife Amanda. He's also the narrator of the original GTA 5 trailer.

Character 2 - Trevor, a former war veteran and a "drugged out psychopath". An experienced pilot.

Character 3 - Franklin, a repo man in his mid 20s described as a "young and ambitious hustler".

Certain characters from GTA IV and Episodes From Liberty City will also make an appearance. Rockstar's Dan Houser says we'll never see characters from the PS2 era, though. "The five PS2 games are one universe, and this is the high definition universe, so they don't co-exist," he says.

No major actors cast as any of the main characters.

Focus on making more diverse missions.

Heists and bank robberies are a big theme to the game.

Characters will work together during missions, and you can switch
between characters mid-mission to fulfill different roles. For example, during a chase sequence you can pilot the getaway helicopter as Trevor, snipe pursuing pilots as Franklin, or fire an assault rifle as Michael.

Missions will have a "very diiferent tone depending on who's on them, how many people are on them, and how much we're using switches", says Houser.

Even when you're not controlling them, each character will still go about their own business across Los Santos. "You may be surprised by the situations they find themselves in should you switch back to check up on them," says Game Informer.

Big advances to lighting and shader model. Greater draw distance.
Improved vehicle handling and physics - "The cars hold to the ground better... It feels more like a racing game," Houser says.

More vehicles than in any GTA to date, including BMXs, mountain bikes, road bikes, dirt bikes, cars, trucks, helicopters, planes, ATVs and Jet Skis, but vehicle manufacturers are still fictional.

Fighter jets appear to be in. One screenshot shows a fighter equipped with missiles, as a helicopter explodes in the background.

Improved shooting and melee combat. Melee combat "never going to be as big a deal as shooting," though, warns Houser.

Pedestrians are fully mo-capped and more interactive.

You can rappel down buildings, although it's not confirmed whether this is specific to certain missions.

Los Santos is described as a "huge and diverse city", combining the best of Red Dead Redemption's "large open expanses" with GTA IV's "densely packed urban environment".

Areas in the game world include beachfronts, mountains, the wilderness, a "Salton Sea" region, a military base and the suburbs.

GTA: San Andreas was about gang culture. GTA 5 is about capturing the "contemporary culture of LA".

There will be a "vibrant and fun" economy, but you won't be able to buy property.

A variety of different side missions and "more sophisticated" minigames, including yoga, triathlons, Jet Skiing, base-jumping, tennis and golf. There's a full golf course in the game. You can go scuba diving along the coastline of Los Santos, or go to the gym on the seafront.

Each character will have unique hobbies, including "one or two key minigame activities per character".

San Andreas' RPG-like player customization is still absent, but you can customize the clothing of each character.

GTA IV's romance feature has been removed.

Like in GTA IV, players can make friends and hang out with certain NPCs, including Michael's wife Amanda and son Jimmy, Franklin's "crazy friend" Lamar, and Trevor's mate Ron.

GTA IV's mobile phone returns, but a lot of its features have been altered. You can use it to access the internet.

Dynamic missions - hidden missions dotted around the game world. "Going off-road in the desert, you may come across two parked cars and a sea of dead bodies around them... Investigate if you want."

I'll pick this up eventually, but not until a significant price drop occurs.

I just don't understand why GTA games are as popular as they are : They're all essentially video game ripoffs of more innovatively done cinematic portrayals of criminal life. To top it off, the whole 'go anywhere, do anything' theme that is a major selling point of the series is patently false.

While the entire map is usually easily accessible, in actuality the amount of places to go or things to do is severely limited : Most of the buildings are inaccessible filler made to give the appearance of scope, half of the accessible ones are simply a new paste job on an already established one (burger joint vs. taco joint), the mission variety has been pretty rehashed since 'Vice City' and usually only consist of the standard "go here, kill him" type, and activities to do while not on a mission usually repeat themselves fairly frequently and typically involve buying clothes, purchasing a house, hitting up a bar to play pool or darts, or participating in street races to pass the time.

Don't get me wrong : They're fun as hell for a while, but usually after about 20 hours they lose my intrest.

While I'm also a fan of similarly limited "go anywhere, do anything" type games - 9 times of of 10 they're RPG games set in a previous (technologically limited) time period, so having limits on what you can do seems productive to that kind of genre. Whereas I expect more from a similarly marketed game that's rooted in a modern society. Much more.

It's about the gameplay IMO. It's just fun to run around and explore, drive cars, shoot or blow stuff up, fly, etc. To me it doesnt have to be a side mission.

Im excited for this... Everything sounds great except you cant purchase property. I love that part of it.. Oh well.

I mostly do the missions on GTA games, its just a good story, fun to play, its a criminal life movie that u get to play, i have never been dissapointed with GTA games

Damn i feel like playing GTA now, ima go buy one of them old school ones

Which should i buy

San Andreas... I let someone borrow my copy of it and when I got it back, it didn't work. :( I'd like to get another copy of it.

You can get all 3 for $20 on Amazon.

Deep sea diving and jets! Awesome! Any date yet>?

Not yet, but Rockstar is going to unveil the game's official cover this month.

:no: 7 months.

Nooooo!!!! Ive been hurrying up on current games to be ready for GTA 5

:no: 7 months.

http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/537459_10151459911735097_189354666_n.jpg

yyyyeeeeeeahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow Im pissed.

Good things come to those who wait.

7 months is long enough to produce an ATG game.

It's not 7 months, it's 7 more months on top of 5 years.

It's not 7 months, it's 7 more months on top of 5 years.

I waited over 6 years for Hitman.

:lol1:

Should be ****ing awesome though. I do hope they ship everything with the game and don't hold back stuff for DLC as games do nowadays.

They need to get crackin on RDR2 after this.

Of course they will. DLC is huge business. 1200 MS points each at least. They will probably put it back a further 3 months as well.

This.. I've just completed RDR over the last couple days, when it first came out I never really liked it but picked it up and it's an amazing game , the undead nightmare is a really good dlc as well . Would be cool to have zombie dlc for GTA 5

New screens.

This one really has a Red Dead look to it. Hope there's a lot of countryside, apparently there is.

Let me tell you...nothing beats Tommy Vercetti! I loved that guy! CJ was the worst protagonist for me...I didnt like the dude's attitude. :D

I always loved one thing about CJ though, how he would act so hard one moment and then his voice actor would transition to a high pitched squeal of a voice when he was complaining or had a gun on him. It was awesome, and definitely intentional. Like Rockstar was saying, "This is what most those stupid motherf*ckers that live this life are actually like."

Tommy Vercetti was definitely the coolest main character, though Niko was probably the best character.

Agreed with those who didn't like CJ much.

For me Niko > Vercetti > GTA3 dude > CJ

at least it's original. :lol1:

****in stupid.

****in stupid.
it's not that terrible, pretty standard.

nothing to get too pissed off about anyway, except the Iphone imitation.

I mean, I'm not pissed off about a video game cover.. but it's stupid nonetheless. do something different, it looks like a cartoon.

pretty gay cover... but I don't really mind,as long as its as good as any other gta game I'm sure I can put up with it

Thats how GTA has always done there covers i like them cause u kno its an GTA game

Got it pre ordered but im trying to go to korea, so it's odd. Im not sure if i should cancel or what? Idk, interesting situation.

Nothing wrong with animated covers, ya'll trippin'.

Pretty much this.

But people expected a better GTA cover now with all the enhanced graphic engines etc.

It doesn't matter how good teh stupid graphics are, that's Rockstar's style.
