GTA V Announced

[drop2]Rockstar has just announced Grand Theft Auto V via their website.

Yes, we’re as surprised as you are – it’s come out of nowhere and already half the internet is talking about it.

According to the site, a trailer will follow on the 2nd of November, but nothing else is known yet apart from that ‘V’ looking suspiciously like a dollar bill, or the back of a playing card.

Money’s involved in a GTA game?  Surely not.  Vegas?  Maybe.

We’ll update when we can – we’re expecting a press release at some point.  In the meantime – GO WILD in the comments with speculation on what that ‘V’ is all about, that’s what they’re there for.

  1. Would love for it to be set in London, that would be amazing! Doubt it though, Liberty City was really good so I won’t be too disapointed if it’s not.

    • I’m not really bothered where the game is set, it doesn’t make any difference to the game play.

      • No, but its nice to be able to recognise locations that you’re familiar with.

      • Like Greggs.

      • oh god. greggs in gta would be so wrong

      • Well I don’t think GTA will ever be based on where I live, not unless it’s about terrorising sheep and cows.

  2. Uhmm…. mmm V what could it mean… AHA I think New York =D
    Wall Street is very dirty these bankers are sneaky b******
    But I’d rather go for Vegas like these gangster movies =D

    ‘The Goodfellas’

    • Liberty City is New York so I very much doubt it’d be there again.

  3. As long as we don’t have to take people out bowling all the frakking time, I’ll be happy.

  4. well that came out of nowhere!

  5. Am I surprised? No. Will I keep an eye on this?? Yes.

  6. Awesome news. I hope it’s setting is similar to San Andreas. I thought that was the best of the GTA worlds. I also hope they actually turn the game back to it’s old, insane self. GTA IV took itself to seriously. Although the multiplayer was always a laugh with friends.

  7. Wow that was a bit out of the blue wasnt it. Even so, going for Summer 2012 release.

    • No way, Winter 2012 at earlier, more likely March 2013

  8. OMFG CROSS GAME CH… oh…

  9. Don’t make the vehicles so tricky to drive. Half way between GTAIV and Vice City is fine. It was detrimental to the shenanigans.

    Drop the whole “dating” thing and build it into the story if such a thing is necessary. I don’t want to micromanage NPCs.

    Give the side missions and collectables meaning but don’t feel that they’re necessary just to satiate the anally retentive trophy brigade. :-P

  10. Wonder if GTA3 will be included as a limited edition, like Medal of Honor, Dead Space 2, Assassin’s Creed Revolutions, etc..

    • Would love a Vice City HD on the disc, assuming that GTA V isn’t Vice City-esque.

      • Would be good.

        I only said GTA3 because of the whole 10 year anniversary thing and the fact it’s been announced for iPhone and all that.

        I think it’s safe to say it’s definitely set in US, and more than likely LA/Vegas.

      • Would be nice to get a freebie of course (who doesn’t like freebies?), but by the time this gets released, you are more likely to be looking at the 10 year anniversary for Vice or most likely San Andreas rather than 3 I would think.
