wow thats great news.. but [expletive] 2013 is so long lol.. hope its as good as past GTA's its been like 3 years since theyve made one.

[SRV]

THANK GOD. I have been waiting for a new GTA for a while, the 4th one came out my sophomore year of high school. I remember it clearly, provided me with countless hours of fun, and I still play it from time to time.

 

I hope its Vice City, easily my favorite setting of any GTA game. I am thinking they will do Los Angeles though. Also, I read the game is already well into development, since the summer, so a 2012 release is very possible. They do love to delay their games though.

Max Payne coming out next year

not gonna happen

 

anyway, rumors are swirling that it could be based in LA. i want a full london game damnit

[YugoRocketsFan]

I just jizzed!

 

2013 ain't shit, 2011 is almost over.

[Real Deal]

As long as the character isn't like Niko, I'm down. I really didn't like GTA4.

 

Plus, they need to go back to the old feel when driving a vehicle. I hated driving in GTA4.

[trutrojan8]

^Agreed. IV was just too realistic for me. The arcady feel San Andreas had made it the best game ever IMO

[fish7718]

I'm surprised how many people love GTA San Andres, I liked it, but idk just felt like something was missing. GTA 4 on the other hand was the best one ever and amazing and I love it. Guess it's all a matter of opinion.

[Jammin]

San Andreas is easily the best. I played that game 10x more than I ever played 4. I haven't even gotten past 50% of the game in 4, I got to like 97% in SA.

LOL, put this on anything, my brother would've made the same exact post, word for word, including the percentages. He told me yesterday that he was at 97% on San Andreas, and only completed half of GTA4.

[YugoRocketsFan]

TBH I loved GTA 4 but the game felt so short even though the mapping and gameplay was amazing. TBH if they want GTA 5 to be successful they better include a super long story and at least 150 story missions

[SRV]

I got stuck on San Andreas and never played it again. My favorite is Vice City. Its sad though, I have been playing these GTA games since I was like 10 years old, such a bad influence lol

For those of you who are planning to watch the world premiere Grand Theft Auto 5 trailer from Rockstar, which is basically all video game fans, then we have an important reminder for you. Rockstar recently revealed the exact release time for when the trailer will be going live.

 

Usually when it comes to a big video game reveal, or even a big technology product reveal, fans are usually kept waiting around in excitement with no official release time. However, RockstarGames has definitely put a smile on our faces and everyone around the world, by revealing that their GTA V trailer will be going live on 12pm Eastern Time. Obviously there has been a countdown going on for a few days, but for those that didn’t know about it, 12pm ET is the time when you need to hop on to the official website.

 

The company made the announcement on Twitter, and it looks like their RockstarGames official website will be the only place to watch it first of all. We just hope that their server will be able to handle the traffic as there are going to be millions logging in at the exact same time, and we have seen it happen so many times before when websites just crumble under pressure.

 

Of course, the trailer is likely to be up on places like GameTrailers and YouTube soon afterwards, but you can bet that GTA fans will want to tune in to the official website to watch it soon as the clock strikes twelve. Just so you’re aware, that means that the trailer will go live at 9am Pacific Time and 5PM UK time. If you’re in Hong Kong like me, or Tokyo, expect the trailer to go live at 1am or 2am respectively.

 

So there we go, there isn’t much to do now other than wait for the big reveal – are you ready for it? In the meantime, you may want to cast your eyes on our previous article which lists some potential spoilers for the game. Obviously, if you don’t want to find out anything about the game before the trailer then avoid it, but there are definitely one or two eye-raising details for sure.

[SRV]

I wanted Vice City Still looks amazing though, can't wait. They should have put a release date there.

[Dash]

I used to love this series but I haven't owned a game (or played any in the series) since San Andreas. After that I just stopped, they all started to feel the same to me and I never really cared for the story.

Online retailers hint at Grand Theft Auto 5's release date with pre-orders.

Published on Nov 2, 2011

 

The GTA 5 release date could be as early as July 2012 if Zavvi is to believed.

 

The announcement trailer has only just dropped, and already online retailers are taking a stab at predicted the date. Zavvi - the only site with a suggested date - already has GTA 5 pre-orders available for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

 

GTA 4 was revealed six months before its planned release date, however it eventually hit stores another six months later in April 2008.

 

With Max Payne due out early next year, it's likely GTA 5 won't release until later to avoid Rockstar's major games from clashing with one another.

 

Game are offering GTA 5 for pre-order too, though they are less willing to impart a release date. Only Xbox 360 and PS3 are available too, does that mean PC isn't expected on release?

 

If, somehow, you missed out on the GTA 5 announcement trailer, then you have to see it now. We've already spotted a ton of secrets hidden within the trailer for those willing to look - is there anything we've missed?

 

EEDAR analyst Jesse Divnich told us earlier in the year that GTA 5 could arrive in November 2012, if Max Payne 3 launches early next year - which it will.

San Andreas!

 

The graphics are sick, too.

Leaks of Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto V, the fifth in the long-running series about stealing cars, have been rife ever since its announcement last week. Ranging from the purported leak of the game's map—which sees Los Santos taking up most of the space—to a post purportedly written by a rogue games journalist with information currently unavailable to the public.

 

Now, a new thread with specific details about the game has been posted by someone purporting to be a QA tester named OpenSurvivor on the GTAForums. It was promptly deleted by moderators, but most of the information posted has since been compiled into the following list of points.

 

Please note that everything here should be regarded as rumor.

 

Estimate GTA Map

 

 

• 
   
  
• Mountain ranges cannot be passed, however they can be scaled almost to the very top. GTA V is "landlocked" just like RDR.
  
• Los Santos is the only major city in the game. However, this doesn't mean there isn't a lot to explore; Los Santos is ~50% larger than Liberty City, with a handful of smaller cities and towns beyond the countryside. One of the larger non-LS cities is based on San Bernardino, another is Tucson, both are about the size of Alderney.
  
• The world is definitely not going to be too small for people's tastes; Expect to see snow, deserts, and much more.
  
• The city of Los Santos alone is larger than GTA IV combined. Los Santos is the largest and most important city. Unlike San Andreas, players will not be moving from one city to the next, doing missions restricted to that specific location. They will be structured in a way that's unlike what has been done in any previous Grand Theft Auto game.
  
• There are at least two cities apart from Los Santos which are the size of Alderney; They do not share a border with Los Santos or each other.
  
• The Italian Mafia will not be making an appearance this time around.
  
• Los Santos alone is the same size as III era San Andreas.
  
• The mountain ranges extend above the maximum altitude for player-controlled planes, therefore making it impossible to fly over them.
  
• Los Santos alone will feature three airports (more are outside of the city), with the world itself being more than twice the size of RDR.
  
• Ammunition will be making a return, however it is inaccessible; The use of underground arms dealers will be used instead. Shooting ranges will now make a reappearance as well, with the minigame being revamped and much more fun.
  
• Every plane shown in the trailer (excluding the commercial passenger jets) is pilotable. No big planes (ex. AT-400) will be present.
  
• NPC Passenger jets fly higher than the vertical limit of planes piloted by the player.
  
• There are 5 counties in the game, with Los Santos being the largest of them all. Overall, Los Santos is 1/3 of the entire map, with the map being over twice the size of RDR; This can be compared to New Austin and Neuvo Paraiso being one huge city, paved end to end.
  
• Bowling will be making a return, which will also be tied into a few missions.
  
• "ENEMA" is a designer clothes label in the game, with the real-life equivalent being MANGO.
  
• Seasons change in-game, with the main story taking place over the course of more than a year.
  
• Safehouses will not be customizable, however they can be customized to spawn with different cars, helicopters, boats, and planes.
  
• Weapons will be customizable.
  
• Car customization will be making a return.
  
• Character clothing can be changed, but the overall appearance of the character can not be changed. There will be more than three clothing stores to choose from, however it is not a major component of the storyline and therefore optional.
  
• The ability to drive from a desert to an area with heavy snowfall will now be possible.
  
• Mt. Slippery is one of the highest peaks in the game. Mt. Chiliad will not be making a return.
  
• One of the weapons is a remote-controlled explosive miniature truck called the "RC Tour".
  
• There will be countrysides, deserts, and mountain peaks. San Fierro and Las Venturas will not be making a return.
  
• The northern side of the map is bordered by the Tetas Grandes Mountain Range (the real-life equivalent being the Los Padres National Forest).
  
• Children of the protagonist will be present in V, however they cannot be killed. It is unknown if they will be making appearances outside of cutscenes.
  
• The protagonist has two children, boy Daniel and girl Skyler. They are about 10 years old and are too young to understand the protagonist's criminal history.
  
• The protagonist is divorced, with the wife having full custody over the children.
  
• An achievement called "Desert Bus" will be featured.
  
• 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.
  
• The counties of San Andreas are:
  
• Los Angeles County --> Los Santos County
  
• Orange County --> Valais County
  
• San Diego County --> Santa Hueso County
  
• San Bernardino County --> Brigham County
  
• Ventura/Santa Barbara County --> Santa Catarina County
  
• Riverside/Imperial County --> Trecena County
  
• There will be snow-capped mountains in game. Most of them are within Brigham County, which is the second largest county compared to Los Santos
  
• Attempting to boat around the mountains will result in a never ending row of mountains.
  
• The eastern border of the map is the Yucca Desert, which stretches on into infinity. A single road runs through it, however traveling too far out will result in a message implying there's nothing out there.
  
• The west and south parts of the map is the Pacific ocean.
  
• The southeast part of the map is the Mexican-American border, however it is only referred to as "The Border". Crossing over the boarder will result in 5 stars, unless the player turns around immediately. Beyond the border is endless desert.
  
• Dogs will be in the game, but only with their humans.
  
• The story focuses on Mexican drug cartels, mainly between two warring cartels, X1 and the Cholula Cartel and their "army", Los Illuminados.
  
• African-American gangs will return as the "Families Alliance" or even just "The Alliance". Their color is Black and Green. Their rivals are the Mafioso Alliance, who wear Blue. A third, smaller African-American gang called "The Tracers" will play the most important role in the story.
  
• A Korean mob, Yakuza, and references to the Irish mob will be present, along with the Triads and Russian mob.
  
• The protagonist's name is Ray, age 53, father of 2 children, divorcee, and an ex-con from upstate Liberty. Ray moved to Los Santos recently and was served with a divorce weeks later. Due to his criminal background, this prevented him from having custody of his children, thus giving full custody to his ex-wife instead.

Still no release date or second trailer

Some are saying this is a hint at the release date nothing the 2405 could me a May 24th release date, it's worth nothing that internationally the day is written before the month when writing dates. If this is true is a 2012 or 2013 release that they are targeting?
