Grand Theft Auto V Announced

Kimilicious · Oct 25, 2011

Although we’re yet to receive a formal announcement via press release, this morning Rockstar Games has confirmed Grand Theft Auto V over on the company’s official website. Unfortunately, no additional details whatsoever about the game were given, just a gigantic version of the logo you see above along with the promise that we’ll get our first glimpse of the latest installment from the controversial, open-world franchise when the first trailer hits on November 2, 2011.

So, now is a good time to start making your GTAV wish list! What do YOU want to see most in the game?

Of course, we’ll keep you posted as we learn more.

Lol ;D

There Is So Much Directions It Could Go.

I Wish Rockstar Would Make A Collections Set Of GTA 3, Vice City , And San Andreas Together. Claude, Tommy and Carl In One .. Oh My :crossi:

Maybe A Female Protagonist :O

Doubt I'll be bored of Saints Row: The Third by time this is out but hoping GTA5 goes back to being fun, crazy silliness over realism any day

We examine the elements and clues found in the GTA V debut trailer in this GT Pop-Block.

1. Back to San Andreas: Well, all the speculation and rumor milling were eerily accurate as Rockstar North is taking GTA back to San Andreas, giving it the next-gen treatment ala Liberty City in GTA IV. There are countless Los Angeles (Los Santos) landmarks featured in the trailer including the Santa Monica Pier (Pleasure Pier), the Capital Records building, Venice Beach/Muscle Beach (Vespucci Beach/Muscle Sands), Skid Row, Rodeo Drive, and plenty of panoramic shots of the downtown skyline. In short, prepare to wreck havoc on the most detailed recreation of L.A. ever seen in a game. Just stay away from my house!

2. As in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, GTA 5 will give players the chance to reconnect with nature. Whether the rural counties of Flint, Red, and/or Whetstone will return, it does appear that a massive national park will be explorable. Couple that with the shot of a wind farm (most likely a reference to the windmill-covered landscapes found in Kern County, California, which also happens to be just outside Bakersfield at the foot of the Sequoia National Forest), and it’s clear that the game will feature settings outside of Los Santos proper. Whether that means we’ll be flying to San Fiero or Las Venturas remains to be seen. However…

3. Jets are back! And while the trailer features several shots of your standard Gulfstream-type planes, one shot shots a fighter jet screaming over downtown. We have no clear evidence that the game will feature other cities, but it would be sort of a waste of some super fight aircrafts if you could only fly it around Los Santos. Also, the original trailer for GTA: San Andreas only featured Los Santos. Just saying.
Click to expand...

4. Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony gave players the chance to hit the range and knock a few balls around, and it appears GTA’s rich golfing tradition will continue in GTA 5. Side activities have always provide countless hours of distraction, and while I doubt we’ll be able to play full on golf in the game, at least we’ll have plenty of lush fairways to tear ass across as we engage in cart-to-cart combat.
Click to expand...

5. Slightly familiar faces: Obviously, we don’t know the identity of the voice narrative the trailer, but there’s a good chance it’s the fella pictured above. As a lot of people have point out, he looks a bit like an aged Tommy Vercetti, star of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and voiced by actor Ray Liotta. But that voice over is not Ray Liotta, and if GTA 5 takes place in modern day, that would make Tommy somewhere in the mid-to-late-50’s, and I’m not sure having a protagonist that old doing the things that GTA characters do would fly. Still, the Vercetti-ish guy seen throughout the trailer does look to be an older gentleman, and the voice over talks about wanting to retire and be normal dad, so the main character is clearly a seasoned professional. He actually sounds like he has a bit more in common with Red Dead Redemption’s John Marston than any previous GTA character, especially given the whole “wanted to retire from…that line of work” setup.

Assuming the guy pictured above isn’t Tommy, it would keep with the trailer’s theme of featuring nods to past GTA leading men, specifically CJ Johnson from San Andreas (who i wouldn’t be surprised if we saw pop up at some point in the new game), and GTA 4 star Niko Bellic. They aren’t exact matches, I know, but it isn’t any more of a stretch than seeing the cowboy hat found in L.A. Noire as a reference to Red Dead Redemption. Another thing worth mentioning here is that we see two distinct people driving vehicles in the trailer (outside of what are clearly AI-controlled pedestrian drivers). Given Rockstar's recent infatuation with letting players assume the role of multiple characters, it would seem likely we'll be seeing the events of GTA 5 from multiple perspectives as well.

6. Signage, logos, and slogans have always been a big part of GTA (and Rockstar games in general), so it’s hardly a surprise to see a number of them on display in the trailer. Here are the ones we spotted:
Los Santos Police Department – “Obey and Survive”
Pump Body Magazine – “Plenty of Issues to Work Out”
Pump and Run Gymnasium
Up-n-Atom Burger (In-n-Out-styled logo) – “Once it pings, eat like kings.”
Postal service – “We aim not to lose it.”
Bugstars Pest Control "Putting the FU in Fumigate"
Click to expand...

7. For all of those gamers who were utterly devastated when they realized you couldn’t actually poison people with a crop-duster in GTA: SA, Rockstar has obviously heard your incessant complaints, because it appears that releasing toxic pesticides onto unsuspecting civilians will be possible in GTA V. Finally.

8. It just wouldn’t be a GTA game with a plethora of working girls, women of the night, ladies of easy leisure, bordello betties, aka prosties. If I had to put money on it, I’d say you’ll be able to approach one of these horizontal professionals in your automobile and offer them a fair monetary exchange for their unique brand of nocturnal-based services should you feel so inclined. Then again, if the narrator is a family man, that could complicate things a bit. Not so much because of the sex, but because of having to keep coming up with excuses for why you keep needing new shovels and more tarps for “yard work.”
Click to expand...

9. There are tons of vehicles on display in the trailer, from sports cars to jetskis to planes, none of which are terribly surprising. What was surprising was watching as the above car’s convertible top retracted into the trunk. Assuming this is now a vehicle option, it would be a first for the series and will ensure plenty of hilarious videos of people exchanging fire with cops in helicopters and closing the convertible top to shield themselves from incoming fire. At least, that’s what I plan to spend a significant amount of time doing.
Click to expand...

10. It’s hard to say if players will be donning a red jump suit and aiding in the above depicted heist, but it does suggest we can once again expect to engage in some good old-fashioned armed robbery with the help of some fellow ne’re do wells. More importantly though, I just love that the store’s door handle is the same font as the “V” in the game’s title. Coincidence?!

[h=3]GTA 5 Rumors: Did A Ton of Grand Theft Auto 5 Details Leak?[/h]
A ton of details regarding Grand Theft Auto 5 have supposedly leaked. The source of the rumors: A message board-poster who claims to have once worked for "a PlayStation-focused magazine based in the UK" that had a chance to look at 30 minutes of video footage of the game. So, yeah, it's a dubious rumor, but the content of his post are pretty interesting.... although, they may be SPOILERS, so be aware.

According to the rumors, Grand Theft Auto 5 will be four times as large as GTA 4, but will take place only in Los Santos and surrounding areas, so no trips to San Francisco or Las Vegas are in the cards.

The rest of the rumors are contained below, and I'll let you read them all:

The game world is absolutely massive and will push both Xbox and PS3 to the very limit in terms of what it has accomplished. Yes, the main city is simply Los Santos however is it AT LEAST 4 times bigger than Liberty City in GTA 4 and that is just Los Santos. The surrounding country side, beaches, etc are massive. For instance, we saw the main character (an African/American, early 30′s) travel by car from the center of Los Santos into the wilderness and it took over 15 minutes. The views were incredible from farmhouses with cattle, huge wind farms, an oil refinery which appeared to be living and breathing with nearly 100 NPCs working on machinery, operating vehicles, lifting and loaded, etc, unlike the gas works in GTA 4 which seemed to only house a few NPC at a time. The forests are more beautiful than those in RDR and featured people camping, young NPC drinking and dancing around campfires, people riding dirt bikes and jumping over logs, streams, etc. The water effects, forna, plants, trees all looked beautiful.
The shooting mechanics have been greatly improved with animations for diving, climbing, rolling and crawling all added for better realism. The re-loading animations for new ammo also look cooler, less static.
There is much more climbable elements in the world such as ladders, overhand climbing, etc.
There are animals in the game from dogs to cattle but at this time it is not confirmed if you will be able to harm the animals. Rockstar were able to get away with it in RDR as it was a true depiction of the world in which the game was set. Allowing dogs/cattle to die in a game sent in current times may cause headaches with PETA. Its unclear if Rockstar were joking here.
There are planes to pilot and they can be crashed into buildings if you choose to do so….

Rockstar have included many, many more interior locations such as a shopping mall, college campus, police station, a huge hospital and there is also a vast underground sewer network which one mission later in the game involves a jet ski chase that culminates in a Fugitive-esque waterfall jump ( there are nods to the ridiculous but awesome Ballad Of Gay Tony missions)
The city is full of NPCs jogging, weight-lifting, hitting on women, being chased on foot by cops, shopping, washing cars, fixing fences, moving home, filling up their cars, etc
Cars can be upgraded/repaired and it has been considered to have a car have fuel forcing the player to fill her up.
The dating aspect of the game is gone. You still have a cell-phone but only people you will meet in the game will call you to ask you to do a mission or to ask you to do something else before the mission.
Weapons include the usual arsenal you’d expect but the flamethrowers, remote mines, laxer trip mines and claymores are included. It is possible now to pick up random objects in a street/building to use as a weapon. There is also a museum where it is possible to steal old age swords, axes, etc.
It is possible to rupture a fuel line and if you shot at the trail of gasoline it will lead straight back to the car blowing it up.
Mini games such as bowling, darts, etc have all gone. You can play basketball, weight train, arm wrestle, gamble and cage fight, enter triathlons, water races, cannoning, ab-saling, rock climbing, base jumping, ski diving. More to be confirmed.
Character customization is back but only in terms of clothing, body weight, etc. The player you start off which, much like CJ, can’t be altered by race, age, height, etc.
Rockstar said burglary missions may return but only as part of missions and not on neighborhood houses.
No children NPC at all. Ever.
There is now an ability to grab people and use as shields or in “hostage” situations.
The cops are much, much, much more realistic. If you kill somebody when you know there are no cops around you will not run the risk of a one star as often as you would in GTA4. The cops will use smoke and tear gas, dogs, riot gear and rams to knock down the doors of buildings you are hiding in.
You can enter some buildings and lock doors, push objects in the way to barricade.
You become better at things as the game progresses. If you only ride motorbikes then you will increase your skills, same as individual weapons.
Certain weapons can be customizable and some even home-made.
One mission involves breaking out a very familiar GTA icon from a previous game…
Torrential rain fall and sunshine and even tremors will appear in the game.

Here's some more rumors. I must say, the Sasquatch rumor would be fun. Lol.

The hidden packages will be 100 crazy Sasquatches that will be placed around San Andreas. They will be recognizable by their faint red glow and constant cooing.

Grand Theft Auto 5: Time To Compare How Far We’ve Come

You probably heard all the rumors about the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 5 game. The game is highly anticipated and the anticipated is laced with speculations. GTA 5 is located in the about the same area as the one in GTA – San Andreas but of course there are a lot of improvements. To emphasize the differences between GTA – San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto 5, one serious fan has even put together a comparison video that highlights the improvements between the two games.

Because GTA 5 is the new and improved version, it sure looks smooth and beautiful compared to the blocky and somewhat ugly shots of San Andreas. Well, when we were playing San Andreas then, it was the best. It just goes to show how far we’ve come. Still, aren’t you a little curious just how Rockstar Games decides to pay homage to the older but highly successful title? Some of the more obvious comparisons lie in the car models and in the character design. Today, developers have the advantage of having some really good visual textures in their design palette.

[video=youtube;ftk3f_0WZww]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftk3f_0WZww&feature=player_embedded[/video]

Despite the GTA comparison trailer, we still don’t know a lot of the details that surround GTA 5. In fact, info that have been swirling around are mostly rumors. We don’t know yet show is the protagonist and we are still hoping for multiple player gameplay. For now, we can only wait for more details about GTA 5. We can be sure, however, that gamers will love the stunning visuals and the revisiting of the general area of San Andreas. Grand Theft Auto 5 will be out on all major platforms this 2012.

Grand Theft Auto 5 Release Date Leaked?

Did the Grand Theft Auto 5 release date leak? According to Joystiq, Alex O'Dwyer, an employee for Rockstar North over in Scotland, updated his LinkedIn page and his CV, pointing out that the long-awaited open world, bad-mouthed adventure game could be coming in October.

We've reached out to Rockstar for a comment, but I doubt they're going to say anything other than, "We don't comment on rumors and speculation." Darn it!

HeavensLightfire · Apr 12, 2012

To be honest, im going to stick with GTA IV, that's my GTA game ;D

InSight · Apr 14, 2012

Great video.
The game sure looks a lot better than all the preview GTA and the Saints Row 3.
