GTA 5 now expected in early 2012

[StalkeR]

Sources suggest a January 15, 2012 release It seems that by way of several sources, we are now hearing that we should expect Rockstar to formally announce Grand Theft Auto 5 in June at E3. In addition, it is expected that the game could be on track to make a January 15th, 2012 release date.

Too far away!
anyway, I hope it's set somewhere good. I'd love it to be a return to San Andreas, but I definitely don't want it to be in vice city. Somehwhere completely new and real has been rumoured, such as Europe, but I'm not sure if I'd be as big a fan of it if it was set somewhere we could completely relate to :/

Whether that's the release date for a PC version though is a different matter. Every GTA game on PC has had a separate release long after the console's version. For the better though as they do add PC improvements.

 

[biggles1000]

oh yeah, good point. so, get it for the PS3 at release and have fun, then get GTA5 and new PC later for lots of fun

A return to Vice City would be epic IMO. San Andreas, not so much again IMO. GTA 4 was by far the best looking so I am very much looking forward to 5.

SWEEEEET!!!

Well, the San Andreas story did get rather long and boring, whereas vice city was 'fun in the sun', so I can see where you're coming from.
Strangely, GTA4 and the DLC look awful on the HD TV, but on the old plasma it looks great. Still, yeah the graphics blew any others far out of the water

I remember playing the Demo from the first GTA installment, I was not even able to finish it, it was that hard I thought. I loved the sky view of the whole thing.

And no, January 15, 2012 is just around the corner... believe you me.

I only hope they don't make it a resource hog

Yes exactly! I am sure GTA 5 will take place in a new arena but where? Hmmm anywhere will probably be good but could you imagine GTA 5: Pennsylvania? I mean being an Amish gangsta in a horse and buggy? That, my friend, would truly be EPIC!!

yeah, it'd be like red dead redemption but miles more fun!

I used to sort of like GTA for the open end game play it had but I lost instrest. The last game I played was before 4. Still 5 could be really good so well wait and see.

YouTube - GTA IV - Random Silliness! 2 - A weird free mode multiplayer session How about a boat instead

I heard it was going to be set in Europe, London I hope.

 

[biggles1000]

yeah, London could be fun. I hope it is either a big city or a huge (interesting) county.

And every time I'd be flipping Rockstar off over and over... and over again

For the better though as they do add PC improvements.

Um, GTA4? lol I don't think so.

I do agree with most that GTA:VC wasn't exactly the best part of the franchise (except the epic rock/metal classics 8D), but I don't see how GTA:SA is. I mean, seriously, the whole game is like this:

Actually, this may not be the best example as this is actually funny, unlike anything in San Andreas.

 

[vierasniper]

bahahahah, good one gornot. the only thing i want from GTA 5, is for it to be full of easter eggs. there i said what we are thinking.

 

[biggles1000]

I found San Andreas to be tonnes of fun, but I do see why some people disliked it.
While I find it rather lame that people like Rockstar run the Lola del Rio mystery and Activision and co run CoD conspiracies, I too would like to see lots of easter eggs (more easter eggs than saints row 2 would be great). I would also like them to revert to the old san andreas style of cheat inputting, such as 'never die' rather than refill health.

I play GTA on an i7 now. It's like playing a completely different game as to if you play it on a dual core of an old quad core. Graphics were better than console version, despite the slow down.

All PC versions have had an increase in graphics increase. My favourite GTA though has to be 3. Mainly because it was the first full 3D GTA world.

. A number of rumors claim that key players on the development team for GTA 5 only have contracts that run through January of 2012, and that is why the game must make a January release deadline

If that's true, then I shudder to think what the released product will be like.

Rushed games are always awesome :sarc:
