Shorty Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 The for sale date could be real, most likely coincidence. But what the hell is "we aim not to lose it" supposed to mean
Agent Gibbs Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 Someone mentioned it earlier but here's a picture: Thanks for that, i should really have got a picture up when i posted only my work blocks uploads so i couldn't upload to photobucket that and i'm a lazy lazy bum i hope its 24/5/2012 would be good to play over the summer lul we usually have in the games world
Wesley Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 Does the "we aim not to lose it" seem a bit... far fetched? I mean it doesn't even make sense. It's a postal van, so if you wanted a slogan that relates to the release date you could just have, "We aim to deliver on time!" or some crap. Where as "we aim not to lose it", while perfectly fine for the slogan, doesn't really translate that well for a hidden message. O wait! It's a hidden message so it's meant to not make sense, yo!
Dog-amoto Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 I don't think we'll hear much about this game till E3 anyway, so 24th May sounds too soon. Plus, Americans do their dates back to front. I know GTA is made in the UK before anyone says anything. The teaser trailer for IV was shown about a year before the game launched, so I'm expecting the same to happen again. Just before Christmas next year is most likely.
Wesley Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 I'm thinking this will be a summer blockbuster like GTA4.
Goafer Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 What I find interesting about that image is the phonograph copyright symbol.
Dog-amoto Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 More rumours Here's the full list of leaked details The game world is absolutely massive and will push both xbox and PS3 to the very limit in terms of what it has accomplished. Yes, the main city is simply Los Santos however is it AT LEAST 4 times bigger than Liberty City in GTA 4 and that is just Los Santos. The surrounding country side, beaches, etc are massive. For instance, we saw the main character ( an African/American, early 30's) travel by car from the center of Los Santos into the wildnerness and it took over 15 minutes. The views were incredible from farmhouses with cattle, huge wind farms, an oil refinery which appeared to be living and breathing with nearly 100 NPCs working on machinery, operating vehicles, lifting and loaded, etc, unlike the gas works in GTA 4 which seemed to only house a few NPC at a time. The forests are more beautiful than those in RDR and featured people camping, young NPC drinking and dancing around campfires, people riding dirt bikes and jumping over logs, streams, etc. The water effects, forna, plants, trees all looked beautiful. The shooting mechanics have been greatly improved with animations for diving, climbing, rolling and crawling all added for better realism. The re-loading animations for new ammo also look cooler, less cdn.static. There is much more climbable elements in the world such as ladders, overhand climbing, etc. There are animals in the game from dogs to cattle but at this time it is not confirmed if you will be able to harm the animals. Rockstar were able to get away with it in RDR as it was a true depiction of the world in which the game was set. Allowing dogs/cattle to die in a game sent in current times may cause headaches with PETA. Its unclear if Rockstar were joking here. There are planes to pilot and they can be crashed into buildings if you choose to do so.... Rockstar have included many, many more interior locations such as a shopping mall, college campus, police station, a huge hospital and there is also a vast underground sewer network which one mission later in the game involves a jet ski chase that culminates in a Fugitive-esque waterfall jump ( there are nods to the ridiculous but awesome Ballad Of Gay Tony missions) The city is full of NPCs jogging, weight-lifting, hitting on women, being chased on foot by cops, shopping, washing cars, fixing fences, moving home, filling up their cars, etc. REAL JUICY INFO: Cars can be upgraded/repaired and it has been considered to have a car have fuel forcing the player to fill her up. The dating aspect of the game is gone. You still have a cell-phone but only people you will meet in the game will call you to ask you to do a mission or to ask you to do something else before the mission. Weapons include the usual arsenal you'd aspect but the flamethrowers, remote mines, laxer trip mines and claymores are included. It is possible now to pick up random objects in a street/buidling to use as a weapon. There is also a museam where it is possible to steal old age swords, axes, etc. It is possible to rupture a fuel line and if you shot at the trail of gasoline it will lead straight back to the car blowing it up. mini games such as bowling, darts, etc have all gone. You can play basketball, weight train, arm wrestle, gamble and cage fight, enter triatholons, water races, cannoing, ab-saling, rock climbing, base jumping, ski diving. More to be confirmed. Character customisation is back but only in terms of clothing, body weight, etc. The player you start off which, much like CJ, can't be altered by race, age, height, etc. Rockstar said burglary missions may return but only as part of missions and not on neigbourhood houses. No children NPC at all. Ever. There is now an ability to grab people and use as sheilds or in "hostage" situations. The cops are much, much, much more realistic. If you kill somebody when you know there are no cops around you will not run the risk of a one star as often as you would in GTA4. The cops will use smoke and tear gas, dogs, riot gear and rams to knock down the doors of buildings you are hiding in. You can enter some buildings and lock doors, push objects in the way to barricade. You become better at things as the game progresses. If you only ride motorbikes then you will increase your skills, same as individual weapons. Certain weapons can be customisable and some even home-made. One mission involves breaking out a very familiar GTA icon from a previous game... Torrential rain fall and sunshine and even tremors will appear in the game. Late last week Rockstar revealed GTA 5 will take place in Los Santos and called it the studio's 'most ambitious game ever'.
Emasher Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Looks like I've got myself a most anticipated game of 2012 (assuming it comes out next year).
Dog-amoto Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 I think it'll be announced for end of 2012 but will slip into 2013, much like IV was delayed.
ReZourceman Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 Oooh fuel! Filling up is an exciting part of life, I'm glad they thought to include that aspect. Lolz. The rest sounds fan-fucking-tastic though. Oh. Apart from no children.
Dog-amoto Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 The rest sounds fan-fucking-tastic though. Oh. Apart from no children. [iNSERT PAEDO-RELATED JOKE HERE]
Happenstance Posted November 9, 2011 Author Posted November 9, 2011 Dont think I believe it anyway, they say the main character is African American but the trailer makes it look much more likely that we play that white guy. Not just the times when we see him obviously on the screen but a lot of the shots where its just a car has him at the wheel.
killer kirby Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 Perhaps different characters you can choose from the get go. Makes replay of the game huge.
tapedeck Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 Amazing! I can finally answer my cell phone at the petrol station!
Murr Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Saw this trailer for the first time when I was waiting for my bags at Heathrow airport on Sunday, While my girlfriend (fiancée now) was telling people about me proposing, All I could think of was the GTA5 trailer. Wow. Not disappointed at all that the first thing I saw back from holiday was this. Really looks awesome. I'm on board the hype train now.

Let's hope your fiancee let's you board the platform when it's released. In all seriousness, congratulations.
Dog-amoto Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 Pretty cool vid showing the GTA V trailer remade with GTA IV graphics, with a side by side comparison http://www.nowgamer.com/news/1144966/gta_5_vs_gta_4_graphics_engine_sidebyside_video_comparison.html
Murr Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Some GTA Rumours AKA Bullshit has recently been 'leaked' Apparently a friend of a sacked Rockstar employee splashed the below out - Hello! I am a friend of someone who recently got sacked from RockStar North for general misconduct. Because one contract to RockStar covered everything, including secrecy, and his contractual obligaton was now removed, he was legally allowed to spill the beans on Rockstar's upcoming GTA V. And he is making damn sure everyone knows about it. Here is the info you really want: 1. The protagonist will be one character, and one character alone. His name is (as some rumours said) Albert De Silva. He's a half hispanic man who was once part of a crime family in Vice City. He decided to settle down and have kids in Los Santos. He has one son called Kevin De Silva who is your stereotypical CoD player. He's lazy, useless and shouts racial abuse online and is really into FPS games. Kevin does admire his Dad though. 2. Multiplayer will hold 32 people on the Xbox and PS3. I wasn't told how many were able to be on the PC. Just like in RDR, players will be able to form Gangs. These gangs are not ranked through XP anymore, but via Reputation. Instead of gang hideouts, you can do jobs that range from robbing a launderette to breaking into a military base and stealing state-of-the-art weaponary. The Gang leader has much more control over his or her gang by being able to rank members of their gang and setting more specific objectives to specific members of their gang. Gangs can have their own terratory but this only applies to areas inside the city of Los Santos. 3. The map is about 5x as large as the GTA IV map and the City of Los Santos takes up just under half of this area (so it's a bit bigger than 2 GTA IV Liberty Cities). The map is (like most GTAs) seperated into three different sections. 4. Planes are flyable, they range from World War 2 fighter planes to Private Jets. 5. Cars and guns are customisable to an extent, for example, you can cusomise a gun to have a supressor on it and you can install nitrous into cars. Here's some stuff you might like: 1. The protagonist is the "rich guy" from the GTA V debut trailer. You get to learn more about this man in the second when he talks about his troubles. You only see the protagonist twice in the trailer. First time is the side of his face and second time is when he is driving a Deceptor (Audi R8). The people robbing the jewellery store are just with the protagonist. He is driving the van ready to get away. 2. Gunfights are more realistic. When you are shooting a gun out of a window of a car, depending on how fast it's going you will have troubles aiming due to shaking cameras. 3. The game is due in May 2013. A more specific date has not been decided because the game is still needing 6 months to be fully developed. They will have a playable demo at E3. 4. Police chases are now way more than either running or driving. Depending on how wanted you are, police may bring out riot shields and flash bangs. 5. When someone reaches 4 star wanted level, there will be a radio warning on some stations. 6. Radio stations now do traffic reports that are actually correct. So if you don't know what route to take, you can check the traffic reports on your phone or the radio. 7. The in-game TV now has many more channels 8. The protagonist DOES NOT die unlike in the last two Rockstar games. 9. The underworld actually has a working economy that you can contribute too by buying and selling drugs, weapons and illegal cars in single player. 10. The protagonist can take drugs which will have some effects. But smoking weed on the streetwalk will lead to getting a one star wanted level. 11. Police cars will go after you if you're obviousely breaking the speed limit. Having high speed crashes will also damage your health. Wanted levels: 1 star - police follow you on foot and try to make an arrest. No sirens, no car chases (unless you are speeding). 2 star - police will still attempt to make an arrest. If a weapon is drawn then the police will begin opening fire. Police will use stun guns if a weapon is not drawn. 3 star - Chases begin and the police don't care how they stop you, they just want to do it. 4 star - road traps, radio stations and much more hostile police.Even when you have evaded them, they will still search for 24 in-game hours for someone matching your description. 5 star - shoot to kill, arrest only if it's made very possible. Even when you have evaded them, they will still search for 48 in-game hours for someone matching your description. Few missions become unavailable if you are wanted. 6 star - military vehicles come after you. Even when you have evaded them, they will still search for 72 in-game hours for someone matching your description. Some missions become unavailable if you are wanted. - http://www.computerandvideogames.com/341349/rumour-gta-v-protagonist-map-details-leaked/
Cube Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Like I said for the last one: The multiplayer needs to copy stuff like the challenges and freeburn events in Burnout Paradise.
Happenstance Posted March 26, 2012 Author Posted March 26, 2012 I would hate that. If I want to play a racing game then id play a racing game.
drahkon Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 I'd rather not have any multiplayer at all. Even more singleplayer content should be on the disc. Better performance than GTA IV would be appreciated, as well. But nooooo, let's put multiplayer into the game. I hate how a lot of games that were fine singleplayer-only need to have multiplayer these days. GTA, Mass Effect, AC...well, I probably am alone with this opinion. Anyway, some of the rumours sound good. Will wait for an official announcement, though, before I get my hypes up.
Happenstance Posted April 9, 2012 Author Posted April 9, 2012 Grand Theft Auto 5 launches in October, says dev CV Grand Theft Auto 5 launches in October 2012, according to the online CV of a Rockstar North character animator. As reported by Joystiq, both the employee's LinkedIn page and online résumé both list the date next to the GTA5 entry. Rockstar has so far refused to comment, however, the CV has been taken offline and the LinkedIn page tweaked to remove any mention of the game. Neither Rockstar nor publisher Take-Two has discussed a potential release window for the next game in the hugely popular open world crime series since it was unveiled late last year. Worthy of note is the fact that Take-Two currently has BioShock Infinite scheduled for an October launch. Would it want to release two of its biggest franchises in the same month? http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-04-09-grand-theft-auto-5-launches-in-october-says-dev-cv
