GTA V to arrive by Xmas?

[Frodo13.]

From DS:



US magazine Game Informer has claimed that Rockstar will release Grand Theft Auto V in time for Christmas 2009
Rockstar North is already working on the fifth instalment of the open-world crime series, according to the publication.
PSU quotes Game Informer as saying: "We're not talking about new DLC or a collection of previously available DLC, we're talking about a full retail game.
"We expect this title to follow the suit of previous GTAs and use a subtitle such as GTA: San Andreas."
The magazine speculated that Tokyo may be the potential setting for the next game, but accepted that "details are non-existent at this time".
Rockstar has so far declined to comment on the speculation.

[Fez]

I think it's too early to be honest, maybe early next year...

[Wootzeh]

doubt it

[J0SH]

That's a good few months, they've just gotta use the same cars and pysiscs etc which saves a load of time, I dunno we can only hope.

[mangle]

You never know, it could be done. If they re-model it, use the same engine etc.
But I don't have high hopes for it coming soon.

[Jord]

Nah not this year there making DLC and to make whole new game will take longer than 10 months?

[Loqo]

I wished they done Vice City again, I loved the scenery and really think that would be worth doing again as it is following in the same steps as in Liberty City, Vice City, San Andreas.

Me to, that one was awsome man,

[J0SH]

I loved San Andreas, I loved how you could work out etc and ride BMXs :)

[Frodo13.]

I honastly think it could be possible - there was only a year gap between GTA III and GTA: VC

[Neil]

It will be a subtitled one so it wont be "GTA V" which means it wont be such a long wait as they'll obviously just copy GTA IV as much as they can to get work done faster, I'm not expecting much. :P

Yeah, the article says that, but I suppose its because there is nothing else to call it atm :P

[Eight.]

Highly doubt it. If it did then it won't come to X360.

[mangle]

Why wouldn't it?

[Fez]

Yeah, I'd expect it on the same platforms.

[Neil]

:rolleyes:

Please enlighten us with your obviously far superior intellect, how does this mean it wont come to the xbox? :)

As the title says Xbox 360 discs won't hold GTA V

I'm sure they'll find a way... or an investment by Microsoft cough cough.

[mangle]

Doesn't mean it wont be on it, it means that it'll be pushing the disc space/ having more than 1 disk.

That's a stupidly old article, if they got GTA4 on a DVD then they can get GTA5 on one, they're not going to make the game too big it wont fit on it, just because some little site says some crap it doesn't mean it's true, there was articles saying the PS3 version of GTA4 will be better than the 360 version, which was a buggy port? Which had a lot more pop-in? Here's a clue, it wasn't the 360 version.

I'm sorry I don't understand?

I got no bugs, sure it freezed a bit before the patches, but it's fine and dandy now. Rockstar said that it could've been down to either a corrupt hard drive, overheating or general fault copy.

[Eight.]

My bad then, I never knew it was an old article

[Neil]

Exactly, freezing would generally come under as a bug, you said before the patches, which is exactly it, the PS3 version was shipped buggy, I could hardly stand to play it for more than 10 minutes it was that bad, the 360 version had no problems from what I experienced.

[Fez]

But that was what I got, I got a buggy copy and I'm sure that a lot of other people did too. Most of us got a nice healthy copy, and well Rockstar apologised to the rest. Besides GTA IV sucked, and I stopped playing it after a week.

[mangle]

I'm sorry I don't understand?
I was saying that even if you can't fit GTA 5 on a DVD it doesn't mean like GTA 5 won't be on 360. They'll put it on different disks.

[Fez]

No, MS would pay Rockstar to slim it down on to one disc. I think most people would be put off by more than one disc was in the box, I don't know why.

[mangle]

I wouldn't really give a toss tbh but yeah I suppose they could subsidise Rockstar. Tbh though, at the end of the day Take2 are a business who want one thing, cash. Why the hell would they restrict their output to the PS3 when they could double the amount of sales by putting it on two platforms?

[Judge Judy]

I thought that Rockstar was going to be PS3 exclusive and LA Noir was the first of the exclusives - or did they change their minds?

I'd think it'd be cool if they made a GTA based in Britain xD

[Coheed&Cambria]

GTA - San Andreas stories?

[ToxicPaddy]

I think its early to bring this out. I have GTA IV, its good, wonder what GTA V will be like. I heard it will be called GTA San Andreas Stories??

[Mint]

Theres usually been a bigger gap between GTA's and thats the way it should be. I would much rather wait 2 years for the next GTA than wait 1 year for pretty much the same game in a different setting with the same cars that look different. They should take there time and produce another masterpiece. ;)

La Noire is rumoured to be going multiplatform.

[Neil]

Yep so PS3 loses another exclusive, which is good.

[J0SH]

It's possible, they could have started development straight after GTA IV along with the DLC, so we'll just have to see :P

[Fart]

I hope not,
people wouldnt be able to SQUEEZE every little drop out of gta iv like with gta:sa

[Frodo13.]

As far as L.A Noire is concerned, it is yet to be confirmed for Xbox 360 :)

[mangle]

I'm not overly fussed about it tbh, Mafia 2 for me!

[Excellent2]

I'm not sure this could be done in 10 months. It took years for even the motion capture to be done for GTA IV. I know they'll work off the same engine but they will have to bring in new sound actors and do some new motion capture.

You're also talking about a whole new city + more city landscapes which couldn't be done in such a short ammount of time. I'm happy with what I got with IV but I would want Rockstar to spend atleast 2 years developing V because if they use ideas from all of the GTA's and combine it together, you've got probably the best game in the entire world.

[Jack.]

i'm glad. surely they couldn't have made a good gta game in a year.

[GommeInc]

I loved GTA III for it's scenery. The big houses on the 3rd island and the posh mansion on the 1st island that's built onto a cliff with an arch was awesome. That was my favourite GTA map :D

I'm rather sceptical about this... The 360 users haven't had their DLCs yet, or for long :S


http://kotaku.com/5132601/rockstar-no-grand-theft-auto-v-in-2009
Figured, it would of be a rushed job :P

[ItsDave]

Im gonna say no, they might release a video near Xmas, but even then showing a tiny clip of the game thats going to come within the next 2 years or something

[Jord]

It will be in 2010 I bet but we got loads of other games coming out

The wheel man is a must get :] Have you seen the trailor?

[dbgtz]

I think i'd survive in terms of gaming this year without GTA but whatever the next MAIN one is like, hopefully it's good.
By "main" I mean like these ps3/360 ones not like the DS one (chinatown wars).
Also there was a GTA: London for GBC.

[J0SH]

i'm glad. surely they couldn't have made a good gta game in a year.

It was good just over hyped, I did lose intrest after I complete the story line but I may get into it and do stunt jumps and such with DLC coming out soon.

[Fez]

I want a San Andreas remake.

There, I said it ;D

[mangle]

A remake!?

Noooo! No more "yuhyuh playa'", someone else who isn't a G in SA would be alright I suppose.

[Technologic]

Doesn't anybody remember the plane ticket on the rockstar social club background saying "Destination: San Andreas"

[Ashley 12344]

A remake!?

I preferred that to a Russian.
Some form on gang element would've improved IV, which is coming in the DLC. Now all it needs is customisable cars, and a few more of them.

[LuckyPopcorn]

Doubt it very much. To Make GTA IV to years to make

If there was one it wouldn't be good tbf =/ or probably too small

[Ashley 12344]

They've already announced in won't be this year anyway.
