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.

POLICE CARS- Need better lights and let the player control the light pattern and which lights turn on.
Also let the player turn off the siren without having to turn off the lights.
Have the access to open all doors and trunks of the vehicles.
Police car should have headlight flashers, front grille lights and back taillights should have flashers. Also lights on back window.

PLEASE have more types of police cars to chose from. I think SUV should be added. As well as police motorcycles. And different types of unmarked police cars.

Also make better fire trucks and ambulance.

I am looking forward to playing the game very soon. I excited for the news to come in a few months.
Thank you Rockstar!

Congratulations and all, about not liking a Zombies idea.......
Nobody cares that zombies piss you off.....we are only asking for what we want.....
To be honest its about 50/50 on zombies
Sooooo your gunna have to put your big boy/girl pants on and deal with it (you have no say anyway)
Don't go out of your way to make peoples ideas sound dumb.
You look like a miserable,hateful,lonely fool when you do that

A Zombie CHEAT/DLC(totally separate from the game) is a great idea regardless if it makes it or not.

Not trying to talk shiz or trying to be tough
But it just looks like these idea haters are going out of there way to trash ideas
Respond how you want but bottom line is........It is one of the ideas on here, that appears the most
So stop hating and let rockstar decide(it would be foolish not to cash in)
RDR undead nightmare made ALOT of cash......nobody predicted that........

you can have a bazooka as the stinger so that you can attach vehicles and helicopters :)
and it would be nice also that the helicopters had heat-seeking missiles
XD and I hope very much that there are tractors and motor homes as in gta san andreas.

Hello my name is juan and I wanted to ask rockstar games in the upcoming game Grand Theft Auto V can tune the car because in grand theft auto 4 be very disappointed that they could not tune the cars, my friends also do not nothing like that detail.
I know that if we will think we should play tuned cars midnight club los angeles, but you do not have the same freedom and just tired of playing.
Listen i am pretty sure you will sell more horn.
Excuse my grammatical errors that translated the text to a translator of the network.

@Ghost99xbox You do know that the 'game informer' dude is bullsh*t? No body on this planet apart from Rockstar's team know anything what so ever about GTA V. Everybody of course must of got a payrise to keep their mouth shut, or they probably get the game when it comes out for free lol. But yeah, the point is, everything you read/hear about is all nonsense, nothing is true until you logon to this website and at the top it says 'THE FEATURES IN GTA V WILL BE...', don't believe this crap. And I know someone who phoned Rockstar once to ask for info and he had to beg for them not to cut off the line, they were being brief and the guy on the opposite line (Rockstar representative) was being tight lipped, but he managed to squeeze something out of him, which was that Tommy will NOT be back and neither will CJ, but there some REFERENCE to CJ within the storyline, so am guessing maybe you meet up with his son, wife or you do a job for him but you cannot see him, something like that I don't know, but all I defiantly know is that this is 100% accurate (but then again they could be lying and we could end up having the whole former GTA cast back lol, but that's a high doubt). After that question asked, he tried getting out the next trailer release and the guy wouldn't tell us and hung up the phone. Just remember, don't believe anything you see unless Rockstar confirmed it. The other week Rockstar were hosting a Q/A (questions and answers) forum about Max Payne and 'others'. Some dude asked about GTA V and he got a reply from Rockstar to something in the lines of 'Expect to hear a lot more info about GTA V in a couple of months', so sit tight and enjoy the flight. If Rockstar rush this game then they will lose a lot of sales and maybe fans if the game isn't up to scratch (because at the top they mentioned 'most ambitious', and other things which state it is going to be a contender for game of the decade), but as this is their second attempt on using the RAGE engine then am guessing they should be able to do what they did with GTA SA but with up to date graphics and movement. Begging, spamming and making up rumors are just what Rockstar want us to do, so far we look like something out of a Oliver Twist film 'Please sir, I want some more'. Let them take their time and HOPEFULLY we should have one of the best game ever created by man.

También estaría bien que pudiesemos crear nuestra própia radio o varias radios con las canciones del disco duro.
Gracias!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@whyusodumb The reason behind no co-op or actual character changing is due to a new engine Rockstar had to work with which was called RAGE (RockstarAdvancedGamingEngine). They were obviously new to the engine and couldn't perform to the best of their ability because it was new, now of course they had what 4 years to get used to it and should be able to execute the GTA SA features but to a up to date engine (RAGE). So that is why PS3 and XBOX couldn't have this feature from GTA IV :)

@GTA2011AU What the f*ck do you smoke? Read the description at the top, it states, '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.' SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, Los Santos is Los Angeles but its a fictional city, made up cause they can't use they can't use the actual city name. I do not know what sort of traveler you are, but where ever the f*ck you went is no where near LA what so ever, you say its some Brazilian name, yeah Los Santos doesn't exactly sound English but it is in fact LA, you are one STUPID ASS NI**ER.

Some of your idea's are great, particularly the zombie mode. I agree that I don't think it will affect the main storyline or whatever.
However, on the other hand, I don't think the main character will be Tommy Vercetti from GTA:VC, you know why? - In the trailer he says: "Why did I move here?, I guess it was the weather" - I believe Vice City was set in Florida, which is VERY sunny and hot. I doubt Tommy would move to Los Angeles for the weather; Florida is sunny too. I may be wrong but who knows? - I highly doubt the main character will be CJ, heck if could even be someone we haven't heard of yet, it may not even be the guy speaking in the trailer! - Who knows?

I CANNOT wait for this game, I'm so happy Rockstar are making GTAV, thank you! :)
