    I see this is the student type humour, it's very ****, it's not very funny and it's not really clever, it's all a bit wanky really. Makes you wish suicide rates would go up and not down.

    I'm waiting for GTA V as much as the next person, as I am a big fan of the series. I do admit to everybody that the post was immature, obviously. I just wished to retain the excitement of a new post in this thread.

    But dhmusic, I, and a few others, take full offense to that post. "Makes you wish suicide rates would go up and not down" seems over the top, doesn't it?

    I'd like to hear your thoughts on this, but not on this thread.

    Make you boys a deal;
    If there is some sort of concrete news like a new trailer or release date then the thread title will be updated to reflect it.
    Saving you the heartache of thinking theres something important every time the thread is bumped. M'kay? :)

    Bah, probably just a modded GTA:SA. Plus, even it's real, it's not really exciting.

    Interesting:
    Discover a reimagined, present-day southern California packed with surrounding hills, countryside and beaches.
    Cant wait to ramp some nifty shiney car off a massive mountain like i used to do in SA. Only to become stranded and whip out the ever useful jetpack. :)


    Some news doing the rounds:
    360 magazine examines the possibility of the game actually delaying the next gen consoles
    It's a long, but interesting read.


    Elsewhere, there was news that (and this should be taken with a massive pinch of salt because i havent seen a screenshot or anything) a fan emailed rockstar asking not for anything specific but more a rough guide on how much longer we will have to wait for some news.

    He allegedly got this reply:
    "For news on Grand Theft Auto V keep an eye on the Rockstar Newswire in the coming month:
    http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire
    Cheers,
    Rockstar Games"

    That was in the last week of Jan.

    Yeah, I seen that. They just changed the finish from their email from 'coming months' to 'coming month'.

    They also posted on the comments on an article on their site recently (can't remember which one off the top of my head) that they'd have news on Max Payne and other titles in the coming days and weeks.

    I think they, in poor taste, used GTAV to hype Max Payne to be honest. Don't get me wrong, genius move as it's no doubt pushed Payne into many people's sights that would've otherwise not seen it (I know i'm seeing the name a lot more than i otherwise would have, and I've no interst in it whatsoever) but I just don't like they obviously knew they weren't gonna follow up with GTAV news and instead use it to promote another game that's clearly not as popular.


    But sure that's the business world. Fair play to them if it results in better than predicted sales of Payne.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,478 ✭✭✭✭gnfnrhead


    What big games do Rockstar have coming up? I doubt GTAV would be released shortly after any of them so we could work out a rough time frame if anyone knows.

    I reckon it'll be 2013 at this stage unless the game is just about finished now. I think September/October is usually the target for big games but that would require something to be announced fairly soon imo. You dont want to underpromote GTA.

    Max Payne 3 in May. Different R* Division though.

    Reckon it'll be October/November this year, or March '13.

    Only Max Payne? I assumed there would have been at least one more after that. If not, we could very well be hearing something about GTA in the near future.

    Just in time too, as I'm nearly at 80% on San Andreas again :D

    I would expect to see plenty of GTA IV easter eggs in Max payne

    Oh, there very well may be more, it's just Max Payne is the only one I know off-hand.

    EDIT: According to Wikipedia, they're also developing Agent at the moment. No release date up there.


  • Site Banned Posts: 317 ✭✭Turbine


    Is Agent even being developed? There were rumours at one point that it was just announced as a cover or distraction for a new GTA title.

    To be honest I don't know. I just checked wikipedia last night and don't have time to look into it more.

    A few months before there will be any more details :(
    “When will we know more about #GTAV” - Fash08 (via Twitter)
    “When’s the release date for GTA5” - Akiieran (via Twitter)
    “Can we expect a 2nd trailer this year for GTAV?” - mats hoi
    “Any more news about GTAV on the way, I can’t wait!!!!” - mattoneill1991 (via Twitter)

    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!

    TBF, we always knew it would be a few months before we heard any more for certain.
    They obviously want to get Max Payne out of the way first and then a few weeks following start unloading details about V.

    May, when MP is released, is a mere 3 months away. :)

    For anyone geographically inclined, or interested in the map/location/layout of V, I found this (which I shamelessly lifted from GTA Forums) to be very interesting. I'm not the most familiar with that part of the world but a bit of Googling and such and you get an idea of what a potential map/terrain/landscape may look like.

    if you remember, in the traliler you can see a Freeway called del perro freeway pointing to east LS. Well, I firmly believe that the city or region based for del perro is San Bernardino.
    331px-Perro_2.png
    Why? Maybe nobody thought of before is because most of you speak in English. I am Spanish,and San Bernardino in Spanish closely resembles the name of a popular dog, the Saint Bernard Dog, san bernardo in Spanish.
    the region of San Bernardino is located in Socal, east of Los Angeles County. But most important is that San Bernardino is known for having one of the largest valleys in United States (San Bernardino County is the most extensive of California), and especially by the San Bernardino Mountains, wich Have the tallest peak in all Southern California, San Gorgonio Mountain at 11.503 feet (3.506 m). If you Remember the picture of the great mountain and if San Bernardino has the highest mountains ,can be logical that del perro is based in the region of San Bernardino. Many people still think that the picture of the mountain is the Mount chilliad, but the mountain is in san fierro, and san fierro is not in the game. It's just Southern Calfornia.
    797px-GTA5-MOUNT-CHILLIAD.jpg
    In relation to this I've been reviewing my theory to find more clues. This is what I have;
    -the "Three Saints" is the name Occasionally Used To describe the high points of the three tallest mountain ranges in Southern California: San Jacinto Peak (Naturalist John Muir wrote of San Jacinto Peak, "The view from San Jacinto is the most sublime spectacle to be found anywhere on this earth!"), Mount San Gorgonio (high point of the San Bernardino Mountains), and Mount San Antonio (high point of the San Gabriel Mountains).
    - The San Bernardino Mountain and the San Gabriel Mountains are in practice a single ridge with two different names, so we can not say for sure wich of this mountains the picture is based, it is more clear that the mountain is inspired in the San Bernardino mountains, the San Gabriel mountains or the San Jacinto Peak. I think the mountain region will be based in the San Bernardino Mountains and the San Gabriel Mountains and that the wind farm that you can see in this picture are actually the San Gorgonio Pass which cuts Between the San Bernardino Mountains on the north and the San Jacinto Mountains to the south. Why?
    EDIT:I can not put pictures,here is the link, http://www.igta5.com/images/gta-5-trailer-...nd-turbines.jpg.

    -The San Gorgonio Pass Wind Farm is a wind farm located on the eastern slope of the San Gorgonio Pass, outside Palm Springs, and is one of three major wind farms in California, Along With the Altamont and Tehachapi passes. But, why the wind farm in the picture is not the Tehachapi or Altamont? . Because if my theory above is true and Del perro is a region based in San Bernardino County / San Jacinto peak / palm spring, the mountains that are at the bottom of the windfarm picture must belong to this region. The freeway leading to Del perro (assumed thath Del perro is based in San Bernardino County / San Jacinto peak / palm spring) is the same that lead to east LS, and the only one who fits this really is the I -10, which has an intersection to get to San Bernardino county and the San Gorgonio Pass. Consider that Mount San Jacinto has the fifth-largest rock wall in North America and the first in southern California and this peak is only six miles south of Interstate 10, you could quickly get here from Los santos (99 miles and two hours from los angeles), And if you think that the windfarm and the peak are close, it may be a tourist place to get away from city noise. Moreover, Altamont is in central California and tehapachi is located too much in the south, is too small, and is in the middle of nowhere, so these windfard are out of competition .

    http://geomaps.wr.usgs.gov/archive/socal/g...onio/index.html


    Another interesting thing that sure has been said before, is that in the image of the wind farm you can see the same plane that after passing over the vineyards, and if you look closely at this picture you can see that the hills and peaks that are intuited from behind of the vineyards can be the same as we are talking about. If we assume that the plane of the vineyards is the same as seen on the windfarm then it is possible that the vineyards are not too far from the mountains. I would bet that the plane is coming from west (windfarm) to east (Vineyard), so the actual vineyards that are inspired for the picture ( perhaps not, I believe that are not based on any specific region) should be located between the San Gorgonio Pass and Los santos.

    I thought it was interesting, anyway. :)
