I'm getting the feeling now they won't give us more news 'till the 1 year anniversary of the trailer. It's all guess work, none of us know what's up. There's not many companies that can get away with treating it's customers like this but there's a sick part of me that likes it. GTA V may be the best game of all time, but we've had 8Years of SA and that's a beast that's hard to slay.

Look at your favourite band who you've been into for years. Yeah, they still release good new stuff but you have been listening to their best stuff for 10 odd years already, hell, you have grown up with it. It's special to you, and so it should be. GTA V needs to be special too.

Theres a clip of GTA V in the trailer for Gamescon which is in August. Hopefully this means GTA V will be at it

Professional Griefer · 29-06-2012 06:50PM

Take Two will be there from what I've read, so I'd expect something then. Please god in anyways.

CMpunked · 29-06-2012 09:50PM

Here's the clip for anyone wondering; Jump to 1.50ish

R* are confirmed as an exhibitor.

Linky to page a-here

I know its a c/o under take two, but the fact that they are named means there must be news from them and if its not going to be an announcement for bully 2 (which i would love also) then it can only be..

15 of august, mark your calendar, lads!

The Max Payne 3 DLC is out this week. I reckon we could get some GTA news (good or bad) next week.

I doubt it would be anything substantial to be honest. Maybe just a confirmation that they'll be showing off stuff at Gamescom. Showing off stuff at Gamescom would make sense if it were going to be an October release, and would even be a good place to start if it is an April/May release.

I think the ship has long sailed on an October release. No way Take Two would allow them that now.

Unless the spend all their money on the game and have none for ads are are hoping to built up the hype so when the releases is in October the internet will crash with us talking about it and giving them free advertising.
Rights guys

You're most likely correct, but releasing a new trailer at Gamescom would make sense either way. Get the machine running for next year.

GTA is one of the few games that really requires very little advertising. Look at this thread for example. How many people are following this eagerly awaiting some more news? 1600+ posts with what little was in that first trailer, and relatively speaking, the gamer community on boards is just a tiny fraction of the GTA fanbase.

If they were smart (from a business point of view) they could follow the trail of Ubisoft(?) and have a thing on their Facebook page that says once the page reaches Xmillion likes they'll release a new trailer. And bam! Hundreds of thousands of us would be sharing it left right and centre giving them free ads.

Jester252 · 02-07-2012 08:57PM

I would love to see that type of marketing.
Or they release trailer two and at the end is the release data which is 7 days away and just watch the world burn

Max Payne DLC this week. No chance of GTA news. Start thinking about it next week but even that is unlikely so they don't take the attention away from the DLC too soon.

Jerichoholic · 12-07-2012 03:26PM

Some actual news. Two new screens!

12-07-2012 03:43PM

EdenHazard · 12-07-2012 03:47PM

Wow I'm so psyched now

CMpunked · 12-07-2012 03:51PM

Dont post the pics and not post the info!!

“What is going on with GTAV?” – received via Mouthoff

We are very busy working on the game! Everything is going well, but the game is a huge project. We should have more information and some new assets for you soon.

“Why don’t you give us more news?” – received via Mouthoff

As we have said before, we have often had long gaps between asset releases on previous games and will continue to do so in the future. We are sorry if you find this frustrating, but please understand, we don’t do this because we ‘don’t care about our fans' 'don’t respect our fans’ 'hate GTA fans etc' – precisely the opposite! We do it because we want to make sure we only release 100% correct information, and because we want to keep plenty back for the actual game release so there are still lots of surprises when you play it. The only things we care about are that you enjoy the experience of actually playing the game and that we release accurate information. We just have not been in a position to show more of the game than the trailer and will not be for a while yet. We did, however, manage to sneak a quick screenshot out for you… it’s not much, but we thought it was pretty fun.

[Insert first image which was already posted]
Then of course our art team said that no single shot could encapsulate the game properly, so they gave us another...
[Insert image 2]

We will try and get some more screens for you soon and then another trailer when we are ready.

“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eewX3uhCNkQ The above link is a video I have found of apparent lighting test of GTA V. Can you disclose weather this is real or fake. Thank you in advance ” – received via Mouthoff

Now that we’ve announced GTAV, all the way up until game launch (and probably beyond) there is going to be no shortage of non-stop hoaxes, faked footage and screens, rampant rumors and speculation. As a rule, we are not going to get into the game of confirming or denying each of these as they happen as there is simply too much of it. Half of them we don’t even understand – for example, we have no idea what ‘the build model’ is, so have no idea if it is complete or not! Instead, we’ll leave it to fans like yourselves to decide what’s legit and what’s phony. Please assume if you don’t hear it here, it is probably mostly fakes and almost definitely not the complete truth.
One thing we’ll say definitively though is – there is absolutely no ‘beta’ test for the game. If you see ads or solicitations to join a beta program, beware as this could be a dodgy online phishing scam. Your best bet is to only trust information as official if you’re seeing it announced here at the Rockstar Newswire.

“Hey guys hope everything is good over there in Rockstar. Just a question referring to GTA 4, the game was brilliant and I really enjoyed and still do, but what disappointed me was the lack of planes and jets... Can you tell me why you didn't include them, I'm sure you have a very valid reason?” – via Mouthoff

The city was simply too small for effective and enjoyable flying. It was the first time we made a high definition open world, and it was a massive amount of work to make something on that scale – we simply could not make an environment big enough for planes to work properly. Fear not, they are returning in what is our biggest open world game to date.

Hmm.. they're not really actual screenshots of the game though, are they? They're not even finished working on various game engines so I don't see how they can be called 'screens' just yet. Artistic renditions yes, but not screens.

Jester252 · 12-07-2012 04:22PM

Best day ever

py2006 · 12-07-2012 05:52PM

I get the impression from reading between the lines that they are a long way off releasing this. I'm thinking we could be waiting anything up to a year.

You taking the piss? What exactly is wrong with them that makes you lose interest in the most anticipated game of the past couple of years?

gnfnrhead · 12-07-2012 06:24PM

That second picture looks amazing.

The city looks pretty damn big in the first picture too.

If the playable character is that shot they brought in the best mechanic every the ability to sit.

py2006 · 12-07-2012 07:44PM

Guys this is a PS3 title so the graphics are not going to be much of an improvement on GTA4. If you are not happy with that then wait till GTA6 on the PS4...

Expect a compromise on graphics and detail too if the map is as big as they are making out.

I'm confused... What??

Whatever, I'm stoked!

CMpunked · 13-07-2012 12:52AM

I cant get over how big the city looks in the first image.

I'm glad they have given us some info but i dont believe them when they say it will be another while before we get another trailer.
This snippet of info and screenshots 4 weeks before gamescon smells like they are trying to get a bit of a buzz going for whatever they announce there.

The graphics in the last Gta were quality, really pushed the Xbox to its limits. Like a previous Poster said if you were to read between the lines, this game is a long long way of, could be this time next year by the time we get it.
