GTA V {DT} - IT'S OUT AND IT'S SOOOOO GOOOD!!

killalldude · October 25, 2011

I really hope its set in Washington D.C. This type of city is perfect for crime, oops I mean a basis for a game based on crime :p. So many landmarks, government (imagine all the infiltration missions :D). It would cool because you'd be doing bad things in a city where sense and order is strictly enforced. D.C. used to be the crime capital of the world in the late 80s, there is so much Rockstar could do plot and mission wise if The Capital of Capitalism was the setting of the game...

Impatiently waiting for November 2nd...

Now when I come to think about it, I just hope stuff like "bloopers, glitches & silly stuff" can be done in it then :lol: Probably the best thing about IV is the RAGE engine :p

It seems San Andreas is a likely setting: CLICK THIS FOR AWESOME INFO

Interesting

"Back when GTA IV was being shown to press, Rockstar representatives would stress the importance of the number in the title. As successful as Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas were, they noted, it was the game that preceded them, GTA III that was a paradigm shift. They hoped and believed that GTA IV, by being a numbered game would have and merit some outsized influence of its own. If that is still the company's philosophy, then after Grand Theft Auto IV's un-numbered episodes, The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony, a numbered GTA V should again merit special attention. Shifting cities was not sufficient cause for a new numbered GTA before. A change to the series' formula, however, one that gives players more than one controllable character, would."

Maybe a hint that it will be a next-gen title?

I doubt it - they've been hard at work on GTA V for at LEAST a year in my opinion.

And we won't see new consoles till 2014 at the earliest...

superhyper · October 26, 2011

Some rumors say that the game is basically pretty much finished..

T1M · October 26, 2011

We gotta wait until Max Payne comes out first though. :(

Countdown is up on Rockstar social club.

Beav · October 26, 2011

Woop woop, should be a brilliant game going by the other GTA's!

Just read about the origins of that 5 in the logo. Apparently its straight from an old 5 dollar bill that was used in the US from 1899 to 1964. 60s Grand Theft Auto perhaps? Or 50s even??

United States $5 1899

I don't think they used the same design all that time, I can't find much info about it but from what I can find Chief Onepapa/Running Antelope as he was called was only on that note in 1899. They may have kept that general design with other people for a few years but at least on 1934 bills the V logo was gone. Dunno when it was removed or if it was ever used again after that :confused: I'll quote someone else on this who I think put it brilliantly:

Well there's not much chance of a Grand Theft Auto game set in that era' date=' there are virtually no cars, organised crime is limited, and it would just be a Red Dead game.[/quote']

I disagree, the two games are made by two different branches of Rockstar - What we know for certain is:

1. They've been working on this game for at LEAST a year. (more likely 2 or more)

2. They've made hints at it being in San Andreas OR Vice City. (I think a new city won't happen)

3: As pointed out earlier it's GTA V - Not GTA: SA 2. So there is a massive improvement in this game to earn it a numerical title. This could be playing multiple characters - or it could mean it will debut on the next-gen consoles. (I find next-gen consoles impossible to imagine, as the Xbox 720 won't be unveiled until 2013 - and sold around 2014, and that's a LONG time to wait considering the trailer is out in 7 days.)

Enjoy reading more speculation about where it will take place - it seems Washington D.C is really popular! I might be wrong about the new city thing...

^ Well, if it doesn't come before Max Payne 3 (which is unlikely), then Tim is right. R* wouldn't release GTA too close to MP3 as they don't wanna make MP lose sales because of GTA.

I think they'll push MP3 back to be honest, Rockstar is going to push GTA V hard now that it's official.

I dare to disagree :p Max Payne 3 was already intended to be released in 2009 and I can't see them just ignoring all the fans and pushing it further even more.

Again it depends on which branch of Rockstar wants to push more. I agree however, I see MP3 coming out early next year, with GTA V for the holiday season.

Eudemon · October 26, 2011

GTA V won't be out till 2013 I reckon. Though saying that 2012 will be the 10th anniversary of Vice City. :hmmm:

Paladin Skylark · October 26, 2011

Yes, which points to VC all over again. Why would they release a trailer 2 years before release? That isn't much like Rockstar..

superhyper · October 26, 2011

GTA IV was announced in 2006 and released in 2008

So if GTA V was announced in 2011...:cheeky:

GTAMADDOG · October 26, 2011

Vice City, or San Andreas, I'm happy. Would prefer it to be set in the 80s again if it was Vice City, love the 80s music on Vice City :p

T1M · October 26, 2011

Rockstar themselves said that MP3 is going to come before GTA V iirc.

Fear Deer · October 26, 2011

im so excited bout GTA V :D

Paladin Skylark · October 26, 2011

The speculation for the next week is going to kill millions of fans...

TimBud · October 28, 2011

GTA IV was announced in 2006 and released in 2008

The biggest delay of GTA IV though was the delayed release of the PS3... R* wanted a simultaneous multiplatform release and becasue the PS3 was so late, they waited. To get the bigger sales

GTAMADDOG · October 28, 2011

Always hate the run up to the release of a GTA game. I always have endless nights of dreaming that I've got it a couple of weeks/months early and that I'm playing it (brain randomly generates how the game plays and everything) then I wake up and have an instant sad-face because I realise it was all a dream.

Yeh, I'm sad :p
