at least its looking good already, I am surprised after 4 (which i have never played) that they are still going with such a beautiful world.

Considering GTA has been, since GTA 3, primarily a console game, that would make sense don't you think? I could not care less about a pc version of the game. The Xbox 360 provides almost all of the gaming power I need.

Amen brother!

GRAND THEFT AUTO V Official Announcement

Developed by series creator Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto V heads to the city of Los Santos and surrounding hills, countryside and beaches in the largest and most ambitious game Rockstar has yet created.

A bold new direction in open-world freedom, storytelling, mission-based gameplay and online multiplayer, Grand Theft Auto V focuses on the pursuit of the almighty dollar in a re-imagined, present day Southern California.

Looks like it'll be CJ again? I saw the frame of what looked like him running from the helicopter. I hope so. He's the one character IMO you actually got attached to.

the guy talking in the beginning sounds like Tommy Vercetti, so I'm not too sure about that.

I'm glad that they didn't do a full scale San Andreas, I think that would have been too much, and this way it leaves more room for future instalments.

They did do a full scale San Andreas. They confirmed it to some other gaming site that it contains the vegas and San Francisco type cities that the original SA had. Just now it's modern day.

It's too early to tell if it's just Los Santos or the entirety of San Andreas. Note the phrase 'in the largest and most ambitious game'.

Dear Rockstar North, some more details about the game would be great. Thank you in advance.

They say "present day Southern California", so I don't think San Francisco and Las Vegas will be included since they are not in Southern California. That being said, what was shown in the trailer looks good enough. There is no doubt Los Santos will be bigger than the San Andreas counterpart, just like Liberty City from GTA 3 to the Liberty City in GTA 4. I'm hoping that there are some small towns in the countryside area. Maybe they could add San Fierro and Las Venturas in a DLC.

To the person that mentioned that the voice over from the trailer sounded like Tommy Vercetti, that would be very interesting if they brought that character back, but considering Vice City took place in the 80s, if they didn't ignore that storyline, Tommy would be very close to his 60s (if not in his 60s), so I'm not so sure, but it would be interesting. Either way, I can't wait for this. San Andreas was my favorite GTA game, and I'm glad they're going back.

Tommy playing Granddad mobster will be fun. Just like Arnie starring in T3 :)

The return of Vercetti would be awesome!

I really do hope they do all the cities. Each city had a different feel to them. It's not like the commute was bad either. Just grab a jet and you are across the whole map in 2 minutes lol.

I am disappointed only one city out of the original San Andreas is featured. Nonetheless, I think it is going to be great game. After viewing the trailer, I think the GTA flair, which was so much missing in GTA IV, will return.

It is multiple cities. Trust me :p

not really...

Announcing that the game is "in full development," the game's publisher confirmed that GTA V would take place in "the city of Los Santos and surrounding hills, countryside and beaches." The firm said the game is "the largest and most ambitious game Rockstar has yet created".

    • Thanks, Sony and Nintendo, you effectively killed platform-agnostic gaming. Long gone are the days when you could wish to play a specific game on whatever platform you were. Now, you have to buy the hardware just to play that single game. What, you're only interested in THAT game and nothing more? Bad luck, suck it and buy our console.
    • The AI data centers need it more than us so...let them gobble it all up at that price!
    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
