You have to hand it to Rockstar, the developer sure does know how to announce a game. After months of speculation, Rockstar has released the first official glimpse at Granfd Theft Auto V via a trailer that would put many Hollywood trailers to shame. No release date or even release window was hinted at, but you can be sure that it will be one of the best-selling games of whatever year it comes out (probably 2012, we hope).
The trailer is more of a teaser than anything, but it does seem to answer a few questions. The game is returning to the fictional state of San Andreas, and—at least from what the trailer shows—seems to focus on the faux-Los Angeles city of Los Santos. The narrator is likely who you will end up playing, which means that the main character is male—there were rumors that the game would shift to a female character.
But at this point we still can’t count anything out. Multiple characters and changes in POV are still possible, and the city of Los Santos may just be one of several locations, just like the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Rockstar has yet to issue any other details about the game, but you can likely expect it on PC, PS3, Xbox 360, and possibly the Wii U—although nothing has been confirmed at this point. So for now, sit back and enjoy the trailer as you watch it again and again.
meh. GTA games or old and annoying. Go here, kill him, go there, do that, steal this car, bring it here, beat this guy up, blow that up.
It’s all the same crap, over and over and over and over again. go to this location, and do this. You never deviate from this idea.
YEEEEAAAAAHHH! I’m hoping we can to roll up with CJ and the boys from Grove Street.
After the failure of GTA IV (not so much a failure, it just wasn’t really that fun or good), I’m SUPER amped about this – I can not count the number of hours I’ve spent on GTA: SA; it probably doubles what I spent in Oblivion.
I don’t care about the graphics, I just want Vice City and San Andreas spun together with a good story and I’m sold.
For posting this video? RESPECT +
I refuse to buy another GTA game after that last one was so racist toward Latvians.
They should have done a whole new city and theme. What’s up with the whole going back and redoing stuff? And why did they skip redoing Vice City if that’s the case? It will still be a great game nonetheless and I’m glad I’ll be able to fly planes in this one, not like GTA4.
You’re not the only one who would like to see a Vice City remake/redo on the modern consoles.. hell, an exact copy with the GTA4 engine would be good enough! :)
Valuable comments, thanks Mike.
The graphics don’t really look better than GTA 4 to me, I dunno if I’m sold yet.
Well, let us know if you end up preordering, Mike. I think your opinion is going to end up swaying whether I invest my valuable time from reading comments on message boards to playing videogames and grooming my neckbeard.
I agree with FARTBOX I need more time for my neckbeard so I think I’ll await your decision Mike and work from there.
aaahttp://www... I just shaved my neckbeard last night!
Always an anticipated series
