Grand Theft Auto V announced, first trailer on November 2

The biggest and best left-field announcement ever: Rockstar Games has announced Grand Theft Auto V.

The main Rockstar website has a logo on its main page, confirming its first trailer for November 2 – that’s next Wednesday for those not keeping count.

Whoa! That came out of nowhere?! What city? or is that what the trailer will reveal? PLEASE BE LONDON!

[Muhammad Farrukh]

I hope they don't screw PC users this time

The V in the logo bears resemblance to a dollar note. Hmm, what could this hint at... GTA V: Occupy Wall Street?

[TheLegendOfMart]

WEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Washington perhaps? Wouldn't be very exciting though.....

Holy ****ing ****. I read about the 10 year on the front page then thought lets see if there is any information on 5. Nothing I could see. Then went to play MTA - GTA:SA. All of that yesterday...and today, out of nowhere, a trailer. Is this real?

[Phouchg]

What happened to the logo with palms and stuff suggesting Vice City setting? So it was a fake? :(

[Chicane-UK Veteran]

Great news :) Can't wait to see what they have in store. Could really do with playing Single Player GTA4!!

[htcz]

Looks real :) Dont like the logo though. If they are announcing it now, look for a 2012-2013 release date (and god knows when for PC....)

Yeah now that I think about it, it does not look likely that it will be London. I still think it would be a good idea seeing as Olympics are going to be here next year so a lot of the worlds eyes will be on London what better time to release a GTA: London?

[htcz]

Another thing

GTA3, Vice and San Andreas - Engine 1 (with tweaks for each new version)

GTA4 - Engine 2

GTA5 - Engine 3????

[TheLegendOfMart]

Doubt it, they will probably use an updated RAGE engine. Pretty sure they said before GTA4 that they spent the time to develop the RAGE engine is so all they had to do was create new content to make the next game instead of having to redo the engine.

GTA IV doesn't run that well on even quite powerful PC's, Let's hope GTA V has a better PC port than the last one. I expect my lowly GT220 will need an upgrade for it though. (although it doesn't run GTA IV that badly)

The green looks like from a dollar note but I am hoping it is in HK :p

I too think its going to be London BTW. They have already done all the cities from the original version (series) all that is left is London. Maybe they think americans driving in reverse cant take it in a video game :p

Its not going to be in london, the 5 in the GTA logo looks like a US dollar note.

Might be a bluff.

BTW, this news is one of the first on Neowin: Google shows the first sign of Grand Theft Auto 5 confirmed only 20 minutes ago.

[TheLegendOfMart]

Why would they bluff.

GTA London is just wishful thinking, how many GTA games have there been and how many of them have been set in London, there has never been a main game set in London only mission packs.

Setting it in the UK doesnt lend well to the kind of game GTA is. There is no gun culture here.

Imagine if they made London drive on the right :p

[Green_Eye]

As I said it makes sense for them to do London but from that logo unless they are bluffing it's not going to be London :(

[TheLegendOfMart]

It doesnt make sense to do London, there is no gun culture so there would be no valid explanation to have the kind of weapons available for a game set in London.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

If the folks at Rockstar Toronto are doing the PC version, they better do it right this time. The PC version of GTA IV was underwhelming in terms of performance and image quality.

You have never encountered a womble on a friday night :D

I don't know if you live in London but while I do agree that there is not much of a gun culture here that certainly does not mean there are no guns. I speak from first hand experience, go down the wrong parts of London and you will certainly encounter weapons. Overall what you are suggesting would not be much of an obstacle at all seeing as the game is centered around the life of a criminal.
