First of all, we’d like to again thank you and everyone out there for the amazing response to the debut Grand Theft Auto V trailer.

We know that there are a ton of questions you all have about the game, including release date and lots else.

Right now, we are very hard at work on the game and are excited as well to show and tell you more as development progresses - expect that we'll be talking much more about GTAV starting at some point in a few months’ time.

Please hang tight until then and thank you all for your patience and support!

“Rockstar, I really can't wait for new information about the new GTA. And is it only in Los Santos or too in SF and LV?” - MatsvanStam

As we revealed in our announcement about the game being officially in full development, Grand Theft Auto V is set in the city of Los Santos and its surrounding hills, countryside and beaches – and it will be the largest and most ambitious open world game we’ve ever created…

Tell me something i dont know..

[Niall]

I want details now!!!

[Smithy]

[Ramsay]

I thought it was fairly obvious that there wont be any details released for a few months at the very least

[bbfan1991]

Well they have to do their PR bits aswell just to keep the fans sweet.

[Jordan.]

Atleast we're getting news about news to come

[Patrick]

Load of bollocks.
They better take their Max Payne and shove it up their arse, no one ******ing cares.

And to anyone who's still convinced we're getting the game in October or December.. LOL.
This time next year we'll still be waiting for it, I bet on a May 2013 release now.

[Ramsay]

What Paddy said..Mid to late 2013 is most likely

I assume it's going to be just Los Santos, but bigger than San Andreas last gen. Was GTA IV Liberty City bigger than San Andreas? I think it was. Ideally I would've preferred Vice City and San Andreas again, but three major US cities again in one game for this gen is asking for way too much.

If I could only choose one city out "Vice City", "Los Santos", "San Fierro" and "Las Venturas", then I would definitley choose "Los Santos", it makes sense.

The GTA franchise are my favourite video games of all time. With past GTAs I would read and look at every preview, but I am trying to avoid it completely this time.

It's set in and around LS - so yeah like no LV or SF, I can see them including them though in DLCs if I'm honest. Or perhaps spin offs to GTA V.

After all, Vice City and San Andreas were merely spin offs to GTA III.

I think SF is pointless though, I wouldn't mind seeing LV tbh - but ultimately they should of went back to Vice City, and if we don't see a return to Vice for GTA VI then I'll be very ******ing angry.

Los Santos>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Any other GTA city in history.

Yeah thats what I thought. It'd be a big cash cow for them, and it'd lengthen the game's shelf life too.

DLC's

Ahh makes sense now.

[Me. I Am Salman]

Cant wait for this game!!! Hate all the call of duty war game BS. GTA > them all.

[Scotty07]

I planned to ignore it, but couldn't resist watching the trailer. The clip with the mountains looks amazing. It's going to be hard for me to ignore the previews and exclusive future screenshots. Hopefully they will bring back some small towns like in San Andreas, but with more things to do. The thought of it looking like L.A. as much as Liberty City looked like New York.

Make of this what you will....Number 8 contains spoiler of other games. Alot of it has been said but there is some extra stuff too..

Spoiler:

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 customise 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.

Most likely fake, everything else has been so this will likely be too

[mrlecturer]

Grand Theft Auto 5 will not be released until 2013, according to an industry analyst.

Baird's Colin Sebastian predicted that Rockstar Games' anticipated sequel will not arrive this year despite persistent rumours to the contrary, MCV reports.

The game was tipped for launch this October following reports that a member of its development team let the date slip via his online CV and LinkedIn page.

BioShock Infinite's recent delay was attributed to a potential Grand Theft Auto 5 release that month, according to some analysts.

Grand Theft Auto 5 takes place in the city of Los Santos and its surrounding hills, countryside and beaches. Its lead character is thought to be a man named Albert De Silva, played by Ned Luke.

Rockstar is expected to announce an official release date for Grand Theft Auto 5 at E3 in June.

[Ramsay]

never expected it to be in 2012 anyway
