Grand Theft Auto V

[Fez]

The average time between release and trailer for Rockstar's games is 7.5 months, which points to GTA V arriving in July 2012. But take that with a grain of sand.

Anyway, I'm glad it's back in San Andreas, even if it's for the third time in the series. It's the ultimate location.

Third time? Was it in an original 2D GTA?

Ahh! Can't wait, so excited for this! In my opinion GTA 4 was a huge let down and San Andreas has been the best in the series, everything from the storyline to the features. I'll be following this one closely! At what time in the trailer do we see niko and cj?

Was looking forward to GTA Slough, but San Andreas will do just fine

Yes, San Andreas, along with Liberty City and Vice City, were the three islands playable in the original game.

The original San Andreas was just San Fierro..

[Misawa]

Yes, but the island was called San Andreas...

I believe the release date is 24th may, i've been reading on GTAforums and lots of others have reasons as to why they think the same too

"Rockstar North was founded in Scotland and its headquarters are in Scotland, 90% of football fans from Scotland support Celtic or Rangers,
24th of May 1972 - this was the date Rangers won the European Cup winners Cup final (their greatest ever achievement) This would explain the full date on TBOGT plane and why this number appears throughout the game, this could also be the reason why they want to release the game on this date."

"It's also the release date in 1968 of the song in the trailer."

also, on the thumbnail of the trailer, the pavement has white/black paint on it with the numbers '2405'

Where's that from, because it's the EXACT map of San Andreas... Looks like rubbish to me.

Yeah - they would also anger gamers by potentially destroying the map without pre order..

And it is identical.
