Grand Theft Auto V Announced?


Recommended Posts

Andrew Reiner, editor of GameInformer magazine, has just posted on his twitter feed. In his tweet, he states that Rockstar visited the GI offices, the game Rockstar brought with them may ?have been Grand Theft Auto V.?

Until we get a confirmation from Rockstar or GameInformer, we should take this with a grain of salt. Andrew did not give any more details, such as consoles or any kind of official revealing.

Doubt its GTA 5 more likely GTA 4: Insert Spinoff Name Here.

They did say to expect a new game near the end of the year, this would make sense. But jumping the gun to an entire new version number seems highly unlikely.

Interesting...

But I was hoping for a at least a second DLC before GTAV

A lot of people are still waiting on the first DLC!

Wonder if that babies on a timed exclusive deal again :rofl:

I can't see it happening this soon. It would be nice but I find it unlikely. They still have a few more DLCs to milk out of GTA IV plus they usually do spin-off games before they do a full sequel. If Rockstar is planning any game, it will probably be a spin-off.

First DLC was lost and damned and the second is most likely what was shown and both of them are 360 exclusive :)

Both are?

Well that's a bit of a fail.

Oh dear, everyone else has to wait another year or so then Rockstar will be all "HAI GUYS WE GOT AWESOME NEWS! Next week we finally decided it would be a great time to release Lost and the Damned and 'Insert new DLC name here' on the PS3/PC!". When GTA5 IS just about to hit.....

Exclusive DLC, quite possibly one of the largest fails of this generation. You do not release a multiplatform game then castrate your fans by not giving them game changing DLC. Well that is unless you sell yourself out to a massive cheque of money from a certain company.

MS next time spend your 50 million on funding a new game, or how about opening some more 1st party studios instead of closing them. All you did was cockblock the PS3 and PC, you didn't "gain" anything, you would have got the DLC anyway.

Please note, I'm bitter about exclusive DLC, this is not an attack on your Xbox 360 or MS on a whole, just the one decision. I own a 360, but I own GTA4 for my PS3 and I'm not rebuying it on the 360.

I highly highly doubt it's GTA V, between GTA III and GTA IV there was GTA: Vice City and GTA: San Andreas, and 5 years between GTA III and IV. Again it's most likely the new DLC for XBL which MS paid lost of moeny to make it exclusive. Sorry PC and PS3 guys...

To be fair, you knew long before launch there would be significant DLC for the 360 version, but bought the PS3 version anyway.

Hold on a second.. PS3 is never getting the DLC? I thought it was just later. sigh.. :hmmm:

The main DLC packages (three of them, I think, no?) are XBox exclusive. I don't think there's been a formal denial that PS3 will never get DLC, but at this rate, GTAV or whatever the next game is will be out first.

Seriously, it boggles my mind how many so called "hardcore" gamers from NW don't know the GTA4 DLC is exclusive to the 360. Not just Lost & Damned, but both packs. We're talking about 3 year old news here :no:

MS made huge win on securing the DLC, just like Sony did with the 6 month exclusivity last gen (Y)

As for this news, I doubt it will be GTA5. More chances of it being a spin off like VC or SA and the evolution of Renderware engine they did. They'll do the same with RAGE and Euphoria before GTA5 releases.

I didn't know all the DLC was exclusive, plus it's probably timed anyway.

Still, I'd rant about it anyway if I had a 360 copy, exclusive DLC is the shoddiest tactic to come out of this generation (N) I put it above even timed exclusivity of a whole game. It's probably better for gamers they have to see exclusive DLC than having to wait on the game for another 6-12 months, but I think it's the pettiest out of the two.
