[ALL] Grand Theft Auto V

[BrntO4Life]

And the guy in the trailer is a middle aged retired gangster not some young hombre the 4Chan junk was going about

Again, the rumors of multiple protagonists could still be true.

Interesting, in an article on GameInformer, two of the games industry analysts who they talked to about what kind of sales this game will have predicted that it will ship around May-June. I'd love that personally.

Dude, I'm just telling you that 4chan post reeks of some douche trolling for attention. It just seems like shit that almost anyone could try to speculate about.

I just think it's completely naive to even think that there is any truth in that bullshit at all.

That would be awesome because usually that time of year is pretty barren as far as releases are concerned. But haven't all GTA games released in October? Or did GTA IV break that mold? I know RDR released in May so I guess anything is possible.

I doubt it will release in the same quarter as Max Payne 3.

Oh yeah, great point. I forgot all about that.

Just looked it up, GTA 4 released on April 29th.

 

[Tengo Juego]

Yeah. It was delayed out of October, and came out in the spring.

 

[BrntO4Life]

Rockstar won't cannibalize their own products. I think this releases in the Spring of 2013.

Found something interesting that might reveal the release date

A scene showing a house-owner erecting a 'For Sale' sign features the carefully placed number '2405' on the curb at the foot of the screen - could this hint at a 24 May release?

Rockstar has a recent history of May release dates, with both Red Dead Redemption and L.A. Noire. 24 May next year is a Thursday, however.

GTA IV was revealed six months ahead of a planned launch, but was delayed until April 2008. Rockstar is also launching Max Payne 3 in early March 2012.

Analysts are already predicting a Summer 2012 release for GTA 5, with Mike Hickey telling NowGamer that he suspects a May launch. Michael Pachter thinks it will launch ahead of next year's E3, while Zavvi has the game pegged for July.

If you're unsure of the significance of '2405' or the date 24 May how about this: the soundtrack to the GTA 5 trailer, 'Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake' by Small Faces was originally released on 24 May 1968.

Coincidence?

Coincidence?

Yes.

 

[Bomberooski]

I'm going to say no coincidence. (because I want that game ASAP)

 

[BrntO4Life]

I don't know about that release date.

I know Rockstar is probably done with releasing game's during the holiday window because they recognize their product releases are events on their own, but I can't see them releasing this two months after Max Payne 3. If it does release in 2012, I will be amped, though.

 

[Chrispy]

I really hope it does release on that date and it is 2012, not 2013. :fap:

 

[Swarley]

I don't see them releasing 2013. If it's that far down the line, there wouldn't have been much point in officially announcing it at this point in time. And who knows about Max Payne 3, that game has been delayed a billion times already hasn't it?

:yep:

 

[Chrispy]

Grand Theft Auto 5 will release next summer, according to a number of industry analysts.

Speaking to IndustryGamers, analysts said it could arrive as early as next June "to steal everyone's attention" before E3.

Yeah, but this seems like a hard date. Max Payne 3 looks to definitely be releasing this time.

They don't usually start releasing trailers until they know what the release date is for sure.

Some more news...

Despite having ostensibly announced Grand Theft Auto V last week when Rockstar Games put up a website teasing a week-later release for a trailer for Grand Theft Auto V, then effectively double-announcing the game yesterday by releasing the aforementioned trailer, apparently someone at Take 2 wanted to make extra-triple-super-duper-sure that everyone really knew Grand Theft Auto V had been announced, as today they released a press release once again announcing Grand Theft Auto V. So, just to be absolutely, positively, 100% clear: Grand Theft Auto V has been announced.

Normally this would be of no consequence to anyone, except that a couple of extra nuggets of information happened to be embedded in that press release. Arguably the biggest detail has to do with the game's setting, which we know already to be Los Santos, the Los Angeles surrogate established in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. We, along with pretty much everyone else on the Internet, have been wondering if the return to fake California would also mean a return to fake San Francisco, and fake Las Vegas, as featured in San Andreas. Evidently, that won't be the case. The press release specifically only mentions the city of Los Santos, and its "surrounding hills, countryside, and beaches." Presumably this will still be a fairly large environment, as the release also calls this the "largest and most ambitious game Rockstar has yet created."

Elsewhere, a brief mention of multiplayer found itself buried in the release, ensuring that yet another online multiplayer mode will be on hand, though in what capacity, exactly, we do not know yet.

Still no sign of a release date, sadly, and the release only tangentially mentions anything related to the plot, citing a "pursuit of the almighty dollar" within the context of Los Santos' version of Southern California. Odds are it'll be a while before we get any more real, concrete details on this thing, so you'll just have to make this tiny hit last as long as possible.

I hope for online play they make the lobbies and overall set up more user friendly. Can't tell you how many hours I've wasted trying to set up games.
