Grand Theft Auto V

Holy fuu!! Didn't see that coming. Can't wait! And its a V not another city name game. :-o

Is it just me or the number design is also "evolving"? :p

First it was plain white



Then it was made black with a sort of raised look



Now its all greeny and flashy!
 
That would be truly epic, GTA goes abroad :D

(ok ok GTA London was a long time ago and not exactly comparable to the current iterations)
 
One million wants!
 
Yes Vice City was small, but GTA 3 Liberty City is totally different to GTA 4 Liberty City.
 
Indeed, the two are very different.
 
Although I would very much love it to be set in London, the fact that the "Five" is in the same font as is on American currency and backed by green pretty much guarantees that it will be US based again.

sad
 
GTA London was stupid, you had to drive on the wrong side of the road.

The Getaway was a better British crime game, though much harder than GTA.
 
I hope it will be Vice City, but from the logo i'd say it's a tossup between Vice and a Vegas style city, but that's just me

I loved the first Getaway game, but only because you could drive around London and use the indicators. I suppose I didn't really get the point but it was fun at the time. The second game was pretty poor.
 
London would be great but so would a Las Vegas based city as well. Can't wait for this(though I will on PC, if they decide to port it). Until then, I've got a mate with a PS3.

Sometimes I wish I had a backwards compatible PS3, just so I could play the first Getaway. I still have it laying around at home, but unfortunately my PS2 is busted.
 
Wasn't Las Vegas pretty well represented in San Andreas?

Yep, I used to land the Jet outside and go straight to Roulette. :mrgreen:

I hope they fix the multiplayer. The PS3 version has been broken since day 1 and they still don't fix it. It's great when it's working, ok it's no MTA or SAMP.
 
:w00t:
 
:thumbsup: Awesome news! Though I'd be lying if I thought it was totally unexpected. I wouldn't mind a game set in Vice City to be honest. I liked that game. Can't wait to see the trailer, and I'll hold off any judgement until then.
 
Look what I found!

Kotaku said:
Grand Theft Auto V Will Be Set in Los Angeles, May Star Multiple Characters

Strengthening long-standing rumors for years that the next Grand Theft Auto would be set in Los Angeles or a fictional version thereof, a source familiar with the game told Kotaku today that those rumors are true. GTA V will be set in some version of L.A., bringing the famous franchise to a place that last got the GTA treatment in the series' top-selling Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. (So much for our other dream GTA V cities.)

We're also hearing from multiple sources that the game will feature more than just one playable character. That would seem to be a natural evolution for the series. Following the release of the PlayStation 2's Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto Vice City, PSP games set in the same cities as those console games let players control a single new character apiece. Those portable games helped establish the idea that there's more than one life worth living in a Rockstar-made GTA city.

Then, following the release of Grand Theft Auto IV the series' creators at Rockstar Games allowed gamers to play as a second and then a third character in the exact same high-definition version of Liberty City. Those who bought the base game and the two downloadable episodes could choose from the GTA IV's menu whether to play as Niko Bellic, Johnny Klebitz or Luis Lopez. Each had their own lengthy, interesting and distinct playable story. A GTA V that features more than one playable hero would extend this concept further.

Back when GTA IV was being shown to press, Rockstar representatives would stress the importance of the number in the title. As successful as Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas were, they noted, it was the game that preceded them, GTA III that was a paradigm shift. They hoped and believed that GTA IV, by being a numbered game would have and merit some outsized influence of its own. If that is still the company's philosophy, then after Grand Theft Auto IV's un-numbered episodes, The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony, a numbered GTA V should again merit special attention. Shifting cities was not sufficient cause for a new numbered GTA before. A change to the series' formula, however, one that gives players more than one controllable character, would.

Rockstar has had a lot of experience with L.A., working with Team Bondi to create a mid-20th-century version of it for this year's L.A. Noire, presenting a drive-able version in Midnight Club and, most famously of all, turning it into the amazing Los Santos as one of three featured cities in GTA: San Andreas.

Rockstar Games did not respond to requests for comment about GTA V today. Should we hear them, we'll update this piece. Otherwise, look for the official trailer for the new game on November 2.
 
Needs to be Vice City, and it needs a facsimile of Cuba!

I don't believe a word of Kotaku.
