********* The Official GTA V (5) thread! *********

Will this be a 2012 release , cant see them releasing a trailer in 2011 for a 2013 release , most likely be late 2012 though.

could not believe my eyes when i saw this thread!!!
 
Very much excited! I'm hoping for some decent radio stations again! GTA3 and Vice City had some amazing music and the chat show radio stations were amazing!!
 
LOL, the GTA radio stations are better than Last.fm for introducing me to new music. I would never have discovered the joys of Jill Scott and Ramp otherwise. :D

I really hope so even though it could be upto another two years away :( it would be worth the wait so we can see the game how it should be, otherwise a potentially great game would be blighted by grainy washed out visuals, low frame rates, less detail, upscaled resolution rather than native HD and them terrible "dancing shadows" oh and it would look silly if a big city like L.A only has a handfull of people walking around and a few cars on screen at the same time, I want a big bustling city where the people and cars don't do the same animation routine at the same time
 
Are you some sort of time traveller?

How can you possibly say that when you have not seen ANYTHING of the new game?

I expect this game to launch around end of April time like GTA IV did.

I've not actually played Red Dead Redemption but it'll be using that engine. I thought that was supposed to look quite good.

GTA4 used a very early version of the RDR engine which is partly to blame for the visuals.

RDR looked a lot better because it was 90% empty land. GTA5 will no doubt look better than 4 but using RDR as evidence of that is silly.

My point was that the engine used for GTA4 was a very early engine that wasn't even designed for GTA. Enough time has passed for them to have sorted the issues that hampered GTA4 and make 5 look less messy.
 
I doubt this will be released April next year. Max Payne is going to be released on March and Rockstar will be focusing on marketing that and trying to get the most copies sold with some DLC before launching another GTA. I expect fall 2012.
 
GTA 4 was springtime, April 27th iirc :) (Which I may not..)

Rockstar do seem to enjoy big Spring releases every year:

GTA IV, Red Dead Redemption, La Noire (Well, 2 out of 3 good games aint bad!)

I'll put my 2p on late April 2012.
 
It won't be a day one purchase for me, like I did with GTA IV. I have learned from that mistake. However something like a San Andreas re-make MAY change my mind!
 
GTA 4 was slated to be released in October but due to delays wasn't out until April. I feel safe bettering on a target release of October.

The only time there was more than 12 months between announcement and launch was when a game was delayed.
