Trailer coming next week, 2nd November!
The simplest of announcements has now been made. http://www.rockstargames.com/
My reaction to it, mostly:
Rockstar's page hacked?
lol whats that?
Youtube, here we come
Hey how come my post got messed up? Chris?
Really happy about this. Was instantly trying to pick apart all the elements of the logo to try and pilfer information / speculation. I suspect, as hinted above, that money is going to be a BIG factor.
I'd say V, and that the 'five' was the monetary reference. We might get a bit more from the trailer.
Oh yeah we're definitely still saying GTA V. The money reference is interesting though and here's my take on it:
The 'FIVE' font is the same used on various currencies around the world, the American and British in particular.
The green colour used on the V is a little weird, almost like a gang colour, but American money is green, so it's probably related to that.
Given the current economic climate, this might suggest money plays a very big factor in the game and/or it is set in present day around the global recession.
So the new GTA era begins?
I feel like this place's gonna be active once again...
Thats upto chris and co.
Up to everyone actually. You guys keep posting about GTA V and your ideas, thoughts, questions etc. then we can get some good discussions around the place, right?
@Jimmy: No. Not yet anyway. In case you hadn't noticed we now have all the GTA games in one simple section. The GTA V itself will only expand once the game is released. All discussion beforehand is pre-release. Just rumour, speculation and some facts. Only when it's released will we have more forums for Guides/Help, Multiplayer, Modding etc.
Thanks again. I will be gladly ready to help you make this place a better one. Keep posting guys.Up to everyone actually. You guys keep posting about GTA V and your ideas, thoughts, questions etc. then we can get some good discussions around the place, right?

Lets make a members poll then. Agree?
GTA V-v-v-vice City? Haha I'm just kidding but seriously I'm clueless on what to expect besides the 'money' aspect everyone has been mentioning. Maybe it's also a way to address Saints Row:The Third coming out, just to emphasize the fact that Five>Three and people should save their MONEY for the better game Anyways, I can't wait for next week.
Nor can I! Anyways, just hope it is better optimised than IV, I have yet to meet someone who runs that game on max without lag...
Wow I'm in shock to say the least. Was not expecting an announcement any time soon.
Well it looks like most of us agree on the money theme. As for location, to be honest we're just gonna have to wait for the trailer, there's too many possibilities really.
My initial thought after thinking the money theme was Las Vegas (Las Venturas), as in, all the casinos etc. with gambling and building up an empire etc. with said money.
Grand Theft Auto V has been officially announced by Rockstar this afternoon, with industry whispers continuing to suggest that the fifth open-world instalment could be set to make the switch to a real-world city - specifically, Los Angeles.
Nice theories, buddies

Did you read that on C&VG?
Firstly, please stop quoting stuff like this without putting a link or something.
Secondly, C&VG always post rumours like this as fact, or they say it's a rumour but spin it as fact. Not saying it's not true, but I wouldn't go believing things like that just yet...
C & VG has never been that useful. But people have started cooking stories. I will make a new guide for this website.Did you read that on C&VG?

By the looks of the ''V'' it ether takes place in Ireland or it fails at design... love it how they waited for SR3 to be close to release tho, assholes.
Anyway good luck with the 5 year wait guys.
Wait.... How the HELL do you get "Ireland" to be the ONLY thing the design could point to? Your SRIII avatar points to old European royalty playing a big part in SRIII, but we know nothing of the such would ever happen. Quit being a dick. Why are you even on this board if all you want to do is jack it to how much better SR is than GTA?
I'm curious, it was JUST announced, and there's already a trailer on the way? How long have they been working on it? How much have they got done? How much more do they have to go? What all do we think will be in the trailer?
And what is the deal with the money style logo.....
Assassins Creed?
Hey, your oblivious is showing.

Marketing, obviously. They may even have completely finished the game, and might just be waiting, in order to create a lotta hype, just like Gaybe and EP3
It probly will. I read somewhere here a few time ago that this forum was at it's peak after IV's announcement, so I guess the same'll happen again.

Yeah i did. Soz will post link next time
Just for everyone's lols, the announcement date of 25th October coincides with the day in 2008 that Rockstar's lawsuit to stop Jack Thompson from practising law successfully closed in their favour. Well played, gentlemen, well played.
@bafendo just tweeted this to us:
Interesting...
Hmmm... Don't know what to make of that. Especially since the ace of spades is the worst card symbolically.
My reaction to it, mostly:
'11/02/11'
Sooo the trailer will come out in February earlier this year?
BTW a rhetorical question.
Why don't they use the correct date format, It is a British game made by Britons in Britain.
I know i sound trollesque when I say it, but I'm making a point.

well though its a brit' game it is mainly based on the american cities and american culture.

Aha, but GTA's protagonists have never really been very well -fortuned now, have they? And by the looks of the photo that just went up on his flickr, it's more that a little bit coincidental - I mean to say, I don't think it's an intentional piece of design on their end.
As for the date thing, meh. Mass market appeal I guess.
well though its a brit' game it is mainly based on the american cities and american culture.
But the content shouldn't be the decider, it should be either audience or producer, and apart from San Andreas, the audience is not majority American.
But, I am venting. I get quite annoyed by it sometimes.

cant blame them since most of the americans do social networking and go on blind dates they dont have the time to review GTA games....well..
anyway about the date like Llama said its got a stylish look 11.02.11
Hmmm... Don't know what to make of that. Especially since the ace of spades is the worst card symbolically.
I think the point was more the fact it's a card, which suggests gambling, which in turn points to Las Venturas as being the location.
It's a nice find anyway, 7 days left to wait until we find out I guess.
And about the date, I must admit I was a little thrown by it at first. I realised a second after that it was in the American format. It is strange though because America is one of the only countries in the world that writes it like. You'd think R* would go for something internationally recognised and unambiguous, "2nd November, 2011" for example.
@Chris 11 : 02 : 11 is unique itself
read it from the front and then in reverse it means the same
i think the official trailer will be released on 2nd nov 2011 at 11 hours : 02 minutes : 11 seconds thats my theory

@amazingdude- Nice theory bro.
If youtube fails on that day i am gonna riot (oh! dont worry not here)
Man, I haven't seen a topic active like this since... well, I've never seen a topic active like this, actually . Thanks, Rockstar!

Wow, right on. Just when I thought that nothing else could be hinted by the title design of the game. And as stupid as this sounds, as long as we're sticking to the Las Venturas/gambling hints, maybe the trailer release date is a reference to getting 'snake eyes' ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_eyes ) when gambling with dice: 11 (1 and 1) 02 (2 pairs of snakes eyes) 11 (1 and 1).
By the way, I've been gone way too long. How do I do post a link with my own selected title as opposed to the full URL. Like if I wanted that Wikipedia link up there to be 'snake eyes' instead of the full URL. I tried searching through the BB Codes and the Link button but couldn't figure it out.
Hey man, good to see you.
The link thing can be done by clicking the link button in the editor, and then pasting the URL into the popup box there, and naming it in the other field. Kin of a weird system but eh.
Well someone mentioned Ireland eariler, so on that subject why not Packie McReary. We did see him entering the airport at the end of BoGTY.
Also some other rumours that are out are saying that the city will be Los Angeles.http://www.rockstarinformer.com/article/Grand-Theft-Auto-V-set-in-Los-Angeles-says-Kotaku/88
I would rather V be a remake of San Andreas with larger cities (Los Santos was fine, but Las Venturas & San Fiero were not up to par imo) and enough countryside for planes, ect. Regardless if it will be be Vice ,San Andreas or a new city I'm just looking forward the teaser next week.

Sinnnnnce when was Rockstar North based in Britain? And since when has ANY GTA been a British game? Excuse me while I feel stupid on that last question, forgetting about the two expansions to the original GTA.

R* North is based in Edinburgh, Scotland, Great Britain, The United Kingdom.
Most of the staff are from Britain, might be a few from the continent too.
The games, except for '61 and '69, are set in the States, but are not made there.
"Rockstar North Ltd. (formerly DMA Design Ltd.) is a British video game developer based in Edinburgh, Scotland, best known for creating the Grand Theft Auto and Lemmings franchises in its earlier guise as DMA."[source]
He's got a point, Spaz
True as both of your posts are, Rockstar does now, not just consist of Rockstar North, they are a multinational company with branches in San Diego, USA. Yes Sam and Dan Houser are Scottish and yes the did study at Dundee University, but at this point you can't really put a nationality on Rockstar as a company.
According to Wikipedia, Rockstar Games' HQ is in New York. But they have branches in many places of the world, such as Tokyo (R* Japan), UK (R* Leeds, North, Lincoln and London), Canada (R* Toronto and Vancouver), and the US itself (R* San Diego). Plus, they formerly had a studio in Austria (R* Vienna), but it was closed down in 2006.
Hey chris, i think i know where the GTA V has been set at!
its set in Washington D.C

Hey chris, i think i know where the GTA V has been set at!
its set in Washington D.C
if you get the logic you will see that the GTA V has a dollar bill. The dollar being the national currency of the U.S is made by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing whose HQ's are at Washington D.C and since the U.S mint is also located here so...it might be a possibility
so...it might be a possibility
Possibility, but not until R* spills the beans on the upcoming trailer.
I hope, most of all, that the game is set in 'Vice City', if not a 'Carcer City' would be cool, but unlikley.
I do like the idea of a single city, as opposed to the multi city/state style of San Andreas. I hope if based on an 'SA' city that its San Fierro, I'm open to the idea of Las Venturas.
But I hope it's not 'Los Santos' or an LA based city. 2 reasons, I have two other new R* games both set in LA, and, no offence to any fans, but I felt that city doesnt lend it's self to
the style of game with which we are accustomed.
Hmm... Los Santos... Grove St... that would explain the logo.
Explain how that would explain the logo.
Actually, there isn't an actual dollar bill on the logo, I am not entirely sure that they are allowed to recreate actual currency, I am not sure if that is legal? I might be wrong though
Not an actual dollar bill but one from circa 1890-1900, copyrights and other restrictions expire after 80 years in the US so I think Rockstar could reproduce it somewhat. I think the game's going to be set in San Andreas for some reason.
Am I going blind or something? Could someone please point out to me where exactly on the logo there is a dollar bill? Because all I am seeing are the words "Grand Theft Auto" a green V and a "banner" around the V with "FIVE" written on it (yes it has been noted that the word "FIVE" shares a similar if not identical font to the font used to print the amounts on dollar bills and pound notes) but I genuinely don't see any bills at all.
Source?
Rockstar have their own in - house guy called Stephen Bliss for alot of the Artwork. he's either produced / directed most of the Artwork since GTAIII. One of my Design Lecturers used to work at R* coincidentally, though never on any of the gaming aspects I don't think.... mainly design for in - house usage at a guess. He helped my out a bunch when I did some research on Bliss during a project a few years ago. He doesn't work there any more I might add; He started his own design company which bombed and now he's a lecturer and art director. He's also a fuckin' prick.
I like the Idea of DC, but obviously not DC. If DC was R*s envisionment (word?) of Carcer City - which I'd like to see - and would get right on board with.
*envisioning
If DC then it would be a brand new city. Carcer was already done in Manhunt and was based on industrial cities in the Rust Belt. Not sure if DC falls under that category, I don't think it does but maybe someone who actually lives there can say.
Well, if you see the past games in GTA series they are mainly based on miami, LA, SF, LV and New York and since DC is the 7th largest populous city in the country there might be a possibility.
Hmm... Los Santos... Grove St... that would explain the logo.
Explain how that would explain the logo.
Play the game GTA San Andreas, I think you can get it for 13$ on Steam.
Yeah, I've beat it at least 3 times on the PS2. There is absolutely no reference in that logo to Los Santos.
If Rockstar didn't wanna piss off Americans with 9/11 in Liberty City do you honestly think they would go for a shootout at the White House?
Screw 9/11. That shit happened over a decade ago, everyone can get over it and move on. I was over that shit in 2002.

I actually agree with that. More than you think.
If you can convince Rockstar then by all means.
Can someone Like that for me, some Brit took away my rights
I'd like it twice for you if I could. But can't like my own posts.
And yeah, Americans need to quit whining all the time. It certainly won't change what happened.
What do you guys think about the graphics? Will it use the same graphics that was used by Max payne 3 and L.A Noire? Or the same like GTA IV?
Can someone Like that for me, some Brit took away my rights
You gotta a problem with Brits?
About fucking time. This is a good thing to us and the GTAP community (more traffic activity). But I'm glad that the new GTA is announced. I can't wait to see who our new character is and who might return.
Agree
I think location might be less important, while I don't want another rehash of the old cities (los santos, san fierro etc.)
I think that timeline is more important, will they go back to the 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s or create a modern timeline like IV, I would love a 70s style timeline but can't see it happening as the character would have to lose the mobile phone and internet etc.
Well they cant go back to the 70's with the tag as GTA V.

Chris is British, pal. He is just complaining that he's in the Restricted group now. Btw, what's the difference between restricted users and normal ones (apart from the fact that they can't like posts)?
Ho - ly - shit it's Red Devil. How's it goin'?
Also restricted members can't make threads, like posts, use the friends feature, vote i polls edit posts or make more than 20 posts a day. Give or take some details.
Red Devil? Oh, and thanks for the info, btw

Yeah im good, have been inactive for a few years I think , but once I heard gtav trailer coming out I was back, lol I am changing my name back to Red Devil.
Well they cant go back to the 70's with the tag as GTA V.
U mad?
@MrGTA Take my advice and dont post too short, it will be good for U
Why?
The v could stand for las venturus as it has the colour of money or it could stand for vice city as it has already written five in....:0
The "V" is roman numeral FIVE. The "V" stands for "FIVE".
Yeah, but after I saw the Spades suit inside the V, i began to believe that it'll be in Venturas (even though I wanted it to be in Vice )
I just hope it ain't Los Santos, I hated that gang-related stuff from SA and rarely went to LS. San Fierro or Las Venturas would be pretty cool though.

Actually, I'd say it's all the little "thugs" who are the pussies. There is nothing "tough" or "manly" about killing people over stupid shit like colors. That's childish as hell.

not san fierro it was the worst textured city in SA.
Textured. But obviously they'd make it from scratch, and San Francisco is an awesome city, in ma opinion. Plus I loved that car tuning shit from SF
I really wish its D.C
Yeah I must be the only person here then who's hoping it will be in Los Santos again haha.. Miami would also be an awesome setting for V. One thing I loved about vice city, is that it had so much... Style.
I'm not too sure about D.C, I dont want a realistic world like they did with GTA IV. But why would D.C be a good location for V? What's so special about it? I want V to be like GTA was in the good ol'e day's. Im sure it'll be good anyway no matter where it is set.

I think tun3r's reffering to me when he said some brit took away his rights. But seriously Im easily wound up and tun3r like's to annoy the fuck outta people just for the hell of it. Suprised I didn't get "restricted" as well tbh.

I hate purple colour's! Green FTW!!!
i'm hoping they come back with another vice city, but the only indications of that atm are the order in which games have been made in the past and possibly the money theme in the logo, vice city was a very money orientated game?

They might come up with something like Vice. I hope they do!
Even if it is in Los Santos again it doesn't necessarily mean we'll be playing as a black gangster with all the gangster themes and overtones.
Well, I mean, it HAS to play a big theme because it's a big part of that area in real life. Soooo....
I have a feeling the trailer is gonna be awesome. Oh yeah! I can put my money on that
Knowing Rockstar as we do, there's a huge (I mean, really huge) chance that's exactly what's gonna happen. But, we'll only know it tomorrow
AAAAAAAAAAAA :D CANT WAIT
Yeah, damn teaser trailer's that they put just to leave us wanting more.. They reall do love teasing their fan base :-\
Wait.. The trailer doesnt come out til 4pm? Awwww
Only 3 hours now... Oh yeah!!!
