Official Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V) thread

[Spiderpig24]

I have excellent news about Grand Theft Auto V. THe game will take place in San Andreas and you will be playing as a hispanic guy named Adrian

Not likely. This "Rumor" was posted by an anonymous rumor on 4chan. Don't claim something as fact until you see a reliable source.

Haha. HAHAHAHAHA. Another "analyst" has predicted that GTA V will be digital only, and that even the retail versions will not include a disc:

"There are a lot of reasons why publishers are pushing towards digital distribution of triple-A games. Speaking out loud might harm the relationship with retail partners, but the benefits have become too large to remain silent about the desire to go completely digital," Newzoo CEO Peter Warman said in a recent report on DLC. "The ultimate objective being to launch games faster, create continuous revenues on a title and simply to make more money. Will retail disappear from the picture? Of course not. Retail will always remain an important channel to promote and distribute games. Retail has a strong hand to play when it comes to eyeballs and... boxes make a nice gift."

And then he gets to the interesting bit. "Boxed games will not disappear, but what is in the box will," he continued. "That is why the boxed GTA V version will contain a collectible piece of merchandise and a download code. No disc."

I'm beginning to wonder more and more what planet all of these "analysts" come from.

GTA V will have an Irishman though, that's confirmed. Rumor has it that it's Packie.

Was on Rock, Paper, Shotgun.

Atleast the casting call mentioned an Irishman.

I hope it's Irish's great grandson.

I'm working on an expressway thats being built up North a bit from where a live.

EDIT: One last little thing i'm gonna post here (before i go to bed and wake up and watch the trailer) is this bit of non-official artwork relating to GTA V (the site is Indeedee Graphics, check it out). Not official, but cool none the less (note what looks to be the Washington Monument in the background):



Maybe Indeedee knows something we don't, maybe they've been contracted by Rockstar to do the art, maybe its just an interesting and cool piece of art. We will only know i guess in a matter of hours from now.

See you at 4AM Australian time mofos!

Back to San Andreas, baby!

[oxol]

And it's back to San Andreas. Nice, I liked that place but I never liked the game itself.

[Strike the Wolf]

HOLY FUCK. HOLY FUCK. HOLY FUCK.

''Why did I move here? I guess it's because the whether.''

HOLY FUCK. HOLY FUCK. HOLY FUCK.

...weather.

Anyways, looks like it's bringing back the craziness of the previous games, which is awesome. A few things I did see was the return of jets and helicopters.

San Andreas it is then, or at least Los Santos. Who's our protagonist then?
