GRAND THEFT AUTO V Official Announcement

Posted on November 3 2011, 8:00am | Author: R* Q | Filed Under: Games

We are very proud to officially announce that Grand Theft Auto V is in full development.

Developed by series creator Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto V heads to the city of Los Santos and surrounding hills, countryside and beaches in the largest and most ambitious game Rockstar has yet created.

A bold new direction in open-world freedom, storytelling, mission-based gameplay and online multiplayer, Grand Theft Auto V focuses on the pursuit of the almighty dollar in a re-imagined, present day Southern California.

    I would like to see the military return in GTA V, with different types of soldiers. They would pursue the player during a six star waned level in trucks, armored cars, apc's, and humvees, but no rhino tanks (the rhino tank does have an appearance in the game, just not in a six star wanted level). Different soldiers would be carrying assault rifles, submachine guns, sniper rifles, light machine guns, shotguns, and missile launchers. The APC is a type of tracked vehicle similar to the tank, but transports soldiers and is armed with a machinegun that they will fire at you. Driving tanks and apc's is more realistic, as one person, you can't drive and fire the turret/gun at the same time, you have to be operating one or the other.

    I also would like to see getting wasted or busted semi-forgiving: if you were wasted, some of you cash is taken and you are relieved of your weapons only if you were wasted during a wanted level and you recently did a crime that involved a firearm. If you are busted, some of your money is taken and your weapons are confiscated only if any of your recent crimes involved their use.

    I also would like to see the driver's license system in the game; if you were wasted or busted during a wanted level that involved driving or hijacking vehicles, your drivers license will be suspended for a period of time, higher wanted level means longer period. While your license is suspended, any crimes that involve vehicles will have double impact toward your wanted level and getting wasted of busted will reset the timer to the time depending on the wanted level if it's higher than the time remaining.

          and the dialogues of brazilians are dubbing in portuguese .-.
          • Davide310794on March 17 2013, 8:59amReply
            The italian dubbing of Max Payne 2 by Giorgio Melazzi was amazing *.*
            • Davide310794on March 17 2013, 8:53amReply
              But there will be only subtitles or also there will be dubbing in Italian (My language :) ) and other major languages? Because i was disappointed when i did buy Max Payne 3 and it was only in english....sometimes i could not follow well videos because i had to read the subtitles to understand the history.

                      @Waseem_Killer Thanks for asking, but we're currently focused on the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game and don't have any details to share about a PC version at this time.

                    Still no screensaver, still no epsilon online studying program...
                    rockstar always used to lie to us, there is no reason for them to stop it, as people continue to pump their balls.
                    they really don't care about customers, they will again produce a game full of glitches and stupid scenario, even if nice of course.

                    Don't need anymore to buy rockstar games, finish, over.

                      I've been reading that ps4/xbox720 will more than likely be out @ end of 2013.. and if GTA V comes out this spring, the game wouldn't even be on the shelves for a year.. so does that mean that we will be able to play ps3 games on ps4/xbox720? Or will the ps/xbox be out this spring as well? I don't get it

                        @DeeCoy313GTAV Lucky for me Im a "GTA tragic" and I wont have a need to purchase a new console till the next GTA game comes out on it. Hopefully (I like my chances) the consoles will be cheeper. :)

                              @bab1755 Sorry, but mate Grand Theft Auto V hasn't Even came out So... Anyway no one really knows anything, there could be Monster Trucks....
                            • Erislicon January 28 2013, 2:18pmReply
                              @bab1755 Monster trucks and ATVs would be AWESOME but I think car customization would be even better. 4 player co-op would be great too! Not to mention manual saving at any time would help alot
