Grand Theft Auto V

[Jay.]

Ahhh, thought some news had come out.

When this comes out though, all my other games will be made redundent.

 

[JoeyD]

^+1!

Hope it's out soon... having said that, I'd rather they made a good job of it than rushed it.
Can't believe how well they've managed to keep everything under wraps!

 

[Revels]

A month later and no posts or updates

Anyone seen anything?

 

[Jay.]

There was a guess that something would happen yesterday. The number 2405 kept popping up everywhere.

Nothing happened.

Can't wait for this though. Blows FIFA, Forza and any COD/BF game out the water for me.

Bioshock was suppose to be coming out at the end of this year....but it got pushed back until next year...
maybe they don't want to be releasing the two games so close to each other??

Also seen this yesterday,

I restarted GTA4 the other day. Working my way up to the Bank Job. f**king loved that level!

Heard nothing though, glad because surprises are awesome!

 

[couzens]

The Bank Job was the best mission on the game without a doubt!

 

[Spiezels]

Based on the Job in Heat right?

f**king ace!

 

[Snakey]

It's out next month!!!

I lie, it's not. E3 was a f**king let down where GTA is concerned, are we ever going to get a release date?

 

[silentsnake]

Was there no news at all about it?

 

[JoeyD]

None at all. R* didn't even go to E3 IIRC.

 

[DannyR]

They don't need too.

They'll get even more press than E3 by releasing a small snippet of info!

 

[JoeyD]

That's very true. All the forums are still proper active, although it seems to be going round in circles with regards to rumours/news etc...

I thought there had been something announced, the amount of posting going on!

 

[t-one234]

snow storm was a good mission too

 

[Krispwee]

This thread needs to be locked unless more info is released, everytime it pops up I get super excited

 

[Bodge!]

Rockstar never do E3.

General mutterings suggest Q3 next year.

They're also working on a number of other projects.

 

[J-J]

I think that's more optimism than anything.

I'd love love love it to be October.

Was in Blockbuster yesterday, they had a letter in a folder on the counter which I was reading when paying. Mentioned pre-order for release 26th October.

 

[Silent_Scone]

It will be October, they've taken heed apparently on the snide comments (albeit true) that they don't release enough games annually

PMSL. As if Rockstar give a f*ck about that. They'll release when they want and still rake in the coins regardless.

 

[Cookie]

Stop bumping the thread you tards

Apologies to the next person this bumping annoys

 

[Silent_Scone]

It's not up to them, Take 2 are the ones poking the sticks. Huge blockbusters every other year doesn't keep the ball rolling

 

[Revels]

I need to make this thread un-bump-able so I can't get excited then disappointed

 

[cafcross]

Time to get excited! For two seconds.Gamescom trailer released today has a 2 second glimpse of GTA V in it at 1:50. Link below:http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/fun/gaming/article4401933.ece

 

[Snakey]

Was that not from San Andreas?

Edit* its a scene form the original trailer Rockstar put out

That footage was from the announcement trailer. Nothing new!

Yeah right near the end!

 

[Snakey]

I think what The Sun is trying to allure to is that Rockstar may make an announcement at the event.

Although as per usual they have taken a small, half eaten apple and made a whole f**king orchard out of it

 

[JoeyD]

I personally wouldn't be surprised if RockStar didn't make any announcements or release any info/footage until it's more or less ready for release - they don't really need to raise hype about it; all the GTA fanboys are doing that for them. Plus it's a new GTA game - it'll sell like hotcakes regardless of how or when they release info.

GTA5 forums are still properly active, even if they are just talking about the same old s**t over and over: http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showforum=239

A release date would be nice though...

 

[cafcross]

Doing the rounds on Twitter that Nov 6th 2012 is the release date.

 

[couzens]

Isn't the new Call of Duty out around that time? at around £50 a go for a game now, I'd see that having some sort of implications?

“What is going on with GTAV?” – received via Mouthoff

We are very busy working on the game! Everything is going well, but the game is a huge project. We should have more information and some new assets for you soon.


“Why don’t you give us more news?” – received via Mouthoff

As we have said before, we have often had long gaps between asset releases on previous games and will continue to do so in the future. We are sorry if you find this frustrating, but please understand, we don’t do this because we ‘don’t care about our fans' 'don’t respect our fans’ 'hate GTA fans etc' – precisely the opposite! We do it because we want to make sure we only release 100% correct information, and because we want to keep plenty back for the actual game release so there are still lots of surprises when you play it. The only things we care about are that you enjoy the experience of actually playing the game and that we release accurate information. We just have not been in a position to show more of the game than the trailer and will not be for a while yet. We did, however, manage to sneak a quick screenshot out for you… it’s not much, but we thought it was pretty fun.

We will try and get some more screens for you soon and then another trailer when we are ready.


“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eewX3uhCNkQ The above link is a video I have found of apparent lighting test of GTA V. Can you disclose weather this is real or fake. Thank you in advance ” – received via Mouthoff

Now that we’ve announced GTAV, all the way up until game launch (and probably beyond) there is going to be no shortage of non-stop hoaxes, faked footage and screens, rampant rumors and speculation. As a rule, we are not going to get into the game of confirming or denying each of these as they happen as there is simply too much of it. Half of them we don’t even understand – for example, we have no idea what ‘the build model’ is, so have no idea if it is complete or not! Instead, we’ll leave it to fans like yourselves to decide what’s legit and what’s phony. Please assume if you don’t hear it here, it is probably mostly fakes and almost definitely not the complete truth.
One thing we’ll say definitively though is – there is absolutely no ‘beta’ test for the game. If you see ads or solicitations to join a beta program, beware as this could be a dodgy online phishing scam. Your best bet is to only trust information as official if you’re seeing it announced here at the Rockstar Newswire.

Sweet!!!

A real update:evil:

 

[Revels]

That doesn't sound like a 'soon' for a release

 

[Silent_Scone]

It'll be November, trust. Have faith chumling

 

[Harpham]

Actually cannae wait for this. It might actually make me turn the Xbox on again.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Seemingly the guy that invented GTA/owns the rights to the GTA franchise lives in a place called Kilcreggan (Scotland, Argyll & Bute) in a rather modest bungalow..

I sail past it every day, maybe i should chap his door and find out what's happening lol.

 

[Brand86]

Some new screenshots on IGN released today - still no news other than that though!

Ahem? Where are they?

 

[oska]

The ones I posted above I think.

 

[Silent_Scone]

This is a game SCE were doing, but it got cancelled. Called 8 Days.

Ignore the video title, someone trying to be clever
