It appears the game will stay in the US setting with any rumors of a return to London or a new non-US place was squashed.

Quote:

We go backwards and forwards on it. There are very interesting crime stories and other stories you can tell about anyplace in the world. Whether that would work with Grand Theft Auto — when so much about Grand Theft Auto is about the Americana, about the American media — is something I’m not sure about.

Also teased was the producer from GTA III and Red Dead Redemption, Dan Houser, is in charge of the project and GTA V could have a more "Hollywood"-like style cinema feel as a result.

Vice City was the place to be. Loved it. Such an effect a game can have was beyond me till I played that. More please.

El Fangel 10-24-2011 08:47 PM

Vice City had the most awesome feel to it, I agree.

Drakul 10-25-2011 03:44 AM

I didn't care for VC much. Map was too small, didn't really care about the story and I quickly got sick of playing a "tough guy" like Tommy. Same goes for CJ. The whole cartoony "I'm a tough street/mafia thug" thing was a big turn off in terms of liking the characters.

That's why I liked Niko so much. He was human and I hope the next guy is closer to Niko than CJ or Tommy.

I'm also hoping the story isn't an "everything worked out for your character and now he's rich, famous and in charge" story.

HEY GUYS, ROCKSTAR IS MAKING GRAND THEFT AUTO V
http://bulk.destructoid.com/ul/214496-hd.jpg






Take a deep breath everyone. Rockstar Games has updated their website with a splash screen showing the logo of a Grand Theft Auto V. No word on release of the actual game, but they did have a street date of November 2nd for the first trailer which is almost as good as having actual news about a game.
Helpful of them to clarify that Roman numeral in the logo. Wouldn't want confusion. Lead them to thinking that since dinosaurs are the new zombies, maybe it's Grand Theft Auto Velociraptor. Or perhaps folks might suspect it's centered around the adventures of a crotchety old police detective in Greenwich village, because I would totally play Grand Theft Auto Vigoda.
Thank God Rockstar is aware of the intellectual capacity of the audience that it sells complex, adult-oriented entertainment to.

#BROKEN Hasney 10-25-2011 08:27 AM

Now I just want Grand Theft Auto Velociraptor :'(

  • Clyde:
    23 - Moronic, almost inbred and creepy white trash hillbilly. Very naïve but in a creepy 'it's only incest sort of way'
  • Brother Adam:
    Welsh monk / cult leader / yoga teacher - 50, very lithe, very into exploring your personal tension through gripping massage. Needs Welsh accent.
  • Rich Roberts:
    English hardman actor, 35, who acts tough but who wants to do serious work - the only problem is he can't quite read the words.

Those 3 at least better be real. Rich Roberts needs to be an ex football player too.

Cool King 10-25-2011 08:40 AM

It's got me thinking.

Maybe in GTA V you play as a cop or an FBI agent, but you do crimes for money or something along those lines, as the V in the GTA V logo looks like it's supposed to represent money. (The Dollar)

SlickyTrickyDamon 10-25-2011 09:10 AM

Maybe you play as a counterfeiter.

Finally, I can shoot those anonymous twats.

Drakul 10-25-2011 10:41 AM

It'll be San Andreas. The artwork of that V and the stuff around it is like the art used for SA.

On top of that, the cast of characters includes actors, cult leaders, yoga teachers, Agents, wacked out mothers. All very California.

Kane Knight 10-25-2011 10:44 AM

Can we get anonymous in there somehow? I'd still like to hunt them for sport, and the real world has laws treating them as human. :'(

Drakul 10-25-2011 10:49 AM

They could dump a group of hackers called "Faceless" or something in the game and have a mission where they bring down a network or system of someone they believe is "corrupt". Maybe a Ruport Murdoch like figure.

It turns out they are right, he is corrupt. Corrupt enough to hire you to go to each of their houses around SA and kill them.

That could work as either one mission where you go from point A to B to C to D and kill them one at a time or it could be spread out into multiple missions, taking them down one at a time. One could be a stealth mission, another could be a car chase etc.

Drakul 10-25-2011 12:26 PM

They could tie it in with GTA IV and have the guy being hacked the head of Weazle.

El Fangel 10-25-2011 01:47 PM

It was announced!

Trailer next week!

-There is a blog from a guy who *claims* he knows people who work for Rockstar.

-He says it will take place in Chicago, Miami, or LA again

-Officer's Tenpenny and partner will be back (one was played by the late Chris Penn)

-You will have to types of 'karma' points, because you will start out as a COP. You can choose to do good for the law, or bad for the criminals.

You see, the first bullet point completely negates him because he doesn't even know if it'll take place in one of three obvious cities.

Why, he probably even said it could happen in Tokyo.

Drakul 10-25-2011 01:57 PM

And Tenpenny wont be back for two reasons.
1) He's from the GTA III era. R* have said multiple times that the GTA III era is dead. You'll never see CJ, Tenpenny, Claude, Tommy, Rosenburg, El Buro, 8-Ball etc again.

2) San Andreas Spoiler?:
SPOILER: show
Didn't he die in San Andreas? I never finished it but I'm sure I heard he's killed at some point.

El Fangel 10-25-2011 01:59 PM

Thats what was posted on another site, take it with a grain of salt.

As for GTA:SA

SPOILER: show
You never see Tenpenny getting killed, CJ stomps his face

Xero 10-25-2011 02:00 PM

SPOILER: show
Wouldn't matter if someone was killed at some point because it could be a different time period. If it's current gen, I'd guess it's not contemporary. If it's next gen, maybe.

Yeah, for such a new gen game it has a 2nd gen look. Ugh, probably won't buy it now.

And that bike did NOT handle realistically. What kind of physics engine are they using?

Do they even have one?

El Fangel 10-25-2011 04:16 PM

The soundtrack is terrible, they should have some Justin Bieber playing, it would fit the 80's theme so well.

Drakul 10-25-2011 04:59 PM

GTA V info from Kotaku:

SPOILER: show
Quote:

Originally Posted by Kotaku
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.

What are you talking about? Those are FANTASTIC HD graphics. Think you are totally full of shit here and have no idea what you're talking about. Can't believe they didn't update the HUD though. Huge disappointment there.

Emperor Smeat 10-25-2011 06:35 PM

:lol: the date on the trailer was specifically chosen because it is the 3 year anniversary of when Jack Thompson got disbarred as a lawyer for life in the state of Florida after years of trying to sue video games and almost everything Rockstar made.

Thompson hates the GTA series the most and since this is the first console game in the series to arrive post-disbarment, Rockstar wants to celebrate the occasion.

It's more fun to murder people in midair.

Drakul 10-26-2011 08:52 AM

The "V Five" has been compared to the "V Five" on Native American five dollar bills and they seem very similar.
The $5 bills in question were in print from 1878 to 1964. More accurately, 1899 for that specific $5 bill.

This has people thinking 2 things. 1) the game will be set 1899 and/or
2) We'll have a native american main character.

I can't see it being set in 1899, that's what RDR is for.

Or, more likely, it looks cool.

This is the sort of shit you see on rap albums, which have nothing to do with the 19th century or indians. The "V" probably was chosen because it looks cooler than a "5"

Kane Knight 10-26-2011 09:02 AM

We're gonna see a lot of these, though:

El Fangel 10-26-2011 12:43 PM

Its going to be difficult to make a new game setting without it being compared to another game I think. With Vice City, you had the 80's, with San Andreas, you had the early 90's and with GTA4, you had the late 90's or early 2000's.

What I honestly see, if them using a current modern day setting or late 60's/early 70's.

There was alot of good music there for the soundtrack and the cars they can use will be amazing, you have the 67 Mustang, 71 Olds 442, drool:

FearedSanctity 10-26-2011 12:59 PM

What? Unless you meant GTAIII, I think it's incredibly obvious GTAIV was modern day.

El Fangel 10-26-2011 01:11 PM

The music and feel had me guessing late 90's/early 2000's.

Not sure if they mentioned it anywheres in the game.

Daddy Yankee - "Gasolina" was released in 2004. Not to mention Nikko texting. Wouldn't that be considered mid 2000s?

Vice City was mid '80s, San Andreas was early '90s, GTA III was late '90s/early 2000s, and GTA IV was current time.

I would like another RDR down the line, and the prospect of using WORKYADAMNAG Marston will piss off many, so a prequel would be cool. But it would be Red Read Resomething, not Grand Theft Auto. It'd actually be funny to see a GTA game before the Automobile even existed, but....

It'd be cool to see a 60s/70s game.

Actually, it'd be awesome if we had expansions in different time periods or something. Same city, different times. It would probably be immense, though.

Kane Knight 10-26-2011 04:04 PM

Prohibition era GTA.

El Fangel 10-26-2011 04:13 PM

I was about to mention that the 30's and 40's would be kinda cool with the Al Capone gangster style.

Kane Knight 10-26-2011 04:21 PM

Capone was biggest in the 20s, and Prohibition ended in 33. While the 40s had their own colour, The Roaring Twenties is where it's at.

Kane Knight 10-26-2011 04:23 PM

I shouldn't even say "biggest." Al Capone went down in '31. I mean, there were other gangsters, but the era's still best handled in the 20s.

That was a misnomer. It was actually the act of removing it which tended to scrape the contacts. blowing on it was superfluous and, thanks to saliva, potentially harmful.

So what we really need to do is remove his brain, re-insert it, and then boot him back up.

Honestly, I like the idea of having the story arc over years. You release GTA:5 and have it be a complete and epic game. Let's say it's set in the 60s. It ends with somewhat of a cliffhanger, but not a huge one as to make the game be able to stand on its own. Say someone is sent to prison (as previously mentioned). A year or two later, you release the first DLC set in the 80s and so on. It would be the same city but with different textures and a few differences in general (more highways, etc).

A variety of clothing, haircuts, and tattoos (much like San Andreas). I have no idea why this was taken out. GTA shouldn’t be as silly as Saints Row, but they shouldn’t take themselves seriously.

El Fangel 10-27-2011 02:37 AM

I agree, they need a middle ground between San Andreas and GTA4

Mr. C 10-27-2011 04:00 AM

Although I love the feel and realism of GTA IV, the enormity of possibilities in San Andreas wasn't surpassed.

Drakul 10-27-2011 05:09 AM

I think I've got it figured out. If you look at the logo and remember what we supposedly know about the game...
SPOILER: show
The game, according to various places like Kotaku, takes place in LA (or the GTA version) and is said to include multiple main characters. The logo reads Grand Theft Auto V Five. What if the logo has V and the word five because we'll have five main characters to control.
Either we'll have the choice of one of five characters like the original GTA or it'll switch from person to person. Mr A will be our guy for a chunk, then Miss B will take over for a while before we get to play as Mr C etc.
They could have them all be members of one gang trying to take over the city/state or seemingly unconnected people who happen to have interweaving stories.

It was taken out because it was "too hard" to do with their new visuals and stuff. Plus, they were terrified people would make Niko look silly during their serious cutscenes.

It's the Hideo Kojima effect. They don't want your gameplay interfering with their story.

Or perhaps, have the main character go to jail for four years on some charge. Then 4 years later he gets out (they do the release date for the game EXACTLY four years from the prior game)

That could be an interesting idea.

Or he could get blown up at the end of the first game, where he's put in the local prison's hospital wing and doesn't wake up for a year or two, and has to shoot his way out with the help of one of the few people still loyal to him.

A year or two later, you release the first DLC set in the 80s and so on. It would be the same city but with different textures and a few differences in general (more highways, etc).

This was done fairly well in Mafia 2. The city layout remained mostly the same but the cars, music, clothing and look of the buildings evolved during the period the protagonist spent in jail. It was a nice touch.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I figure. Though I am starting to think that it might be a little too much for DLC content, considering you'd probably new an entirely new map, whereas in GTA 4 and the DLC it was the exact same city/map.

I'm not adverse to paying full price for the DLC, honestly. If it really is LA, maybe the expansions/DLC/sequels will be the other two SA cities. And if you own GTA 5 (or if it's DLC) then there's the option of flying to the other cities to mess around and do certain missions.

The potentially extra cities would have to be way smaller than the one in GTA V especially if the price on a DLC would be near the main game's price and the time needed to develop them.

The Episodes from GTA IV took well over a year to make and going back to the Vice City and SA games, those took about 6-9 months to make each out of the GTA III engine. Only reasons the Episodes was even created was due Rockstar asking Microsoft for money to finish GTA IV and in return made the Episodes as payback.

It's the Hideo Kojima effect. They don't want your gameplay interfering with their story.

I assumed that they left it out because the next GTA would have nothing to add.

I could live without more clothes. The clothes provided for Nikko were all suiting of him. Like, he looked like he'd naturally wear them. Made it more realistic, so I hope the next GTA pulls it off with the same dignity as IV did.

Maybe they could include haircuts and tattoos as DLC for V.

El Fangel 10-27-2011 03:16 PM

What if as DLC, they give you an entirely new city.

Think about it for a second. Say for example you play through the regular game and then the DLC is you having to go to another city to help out family or whatever reason they make up for you having to go there.

Basically, it would be like San Andreas in that you go to a whole new city every so often. I never felt that with GTA4, mostly because its all the same city.

I had him in a gray suit as soon as possible.

To be fair, the scale was different. While SA was a whole (or part of an) entire state, Liberty City in 4 was generally about the same size as the map in SA, maybe a bit smaller if you take into account the amount of nothingness in SA.

Meatball is right that it might not be feasible as DLC. Personally, as I said, I wouldn't mind paying for a whole new game, especially if it's the scale of the original in terms of both map and story. Maybe for that game include a code where if you own GTA 5 you can fly to it with free DLC (or $10 for a used copy, keeping the current trends in mind) where it basically downloads the entire map from GTA 5 but with the cars, pedestrians etc of the later game.

I know it was about the same scale and that in itself is mindblowing. I think SA even though it did have areas where not much is going on, it simulated a real place. Not everywhere is hustle and bustle and I actually had a motorbike in that game, I used to go do cruises on just because it was fun to open up on a straight stretch in the country.

The open desert in Las Venturas many people felt was unneeded, but take a Quad, Bandito or Sanchez out there and its fun as hell.

It would be fun seeing Nikko dressed in a durag, jeans or shorts, and tee or without tee. :y:

If you keep throwing around "realistic," it'll lose what vestigial meaning it still has.

Please, I work for the save the words foundation. Already, "realistic," along with its brothers "innovation" and "immersion" have been so thoroughly abused they will never be functional members of society.

The damage must stop.

It's terrible, the fate that has befallen the word "epic".

Epic truth.

Kane Knight 10-27-2011 04:58 PM

I hear "awesome" is blowing people for change. Or is that Sascha?

First of all, let me get something off my chest. AERIS'S DEATH IS NOT A TRAGEDY. No! Shut the hell up. It's not. She gets shish kabobbed by a psycho with a giant katana. Shocking, yes. Sad, sure. A tragedy? Not so much, no. Stop tossing the word "tragic" around before it becomes totally interchangeable with "sad." "Tragic" is supposed to be reserved for special cases. Is Aeris an overwhelmingly noble character brought to corruption and ruin because of an intrinsic flaw that also happens to be inseparable from the qualities which make us admire her in the first place? No. Sephiroth falls from the ceiling and impales her from behind while she's just kneeling there, catching everyone off guard. It doesn't qualify as tragic if you didn't see it coming. Bummer? Sure. Tragic? Not so much.

Kane Knight 10-27-2011 06:33 PM

Aeris was a pretty shitty character anyway. I don't get why it had the resounding impact it did.

SlickyTrickyDamon 10-28-2011 01:53 AM

I guess it was just because the game was iconic, so the death became iconic too. First Final Fantasy on the PSX.

They were out of the sandbox and play time was over.

Captain of Fun 10-28-2011 02:57 AM

Also, most people picked Aeris in all the love triangle mini games.

Probably because she was slightly less cardboard than Tough Girl...I mean....Tifa.

El Fangel 10-28-2011 08:56 AM

What are you talking about, Tina wasn't cardboard! Didn't you see how sharp her elbows were?

Laminate, motherfucker!

Mr. C 10-29-2011 05:05 PM

Let us have more customization and outfits, but not too much. Not sure how possible it is, but periodically create and release new clothes, haircuts, and tattoos after its release through DLC.

Xero 10-29-2011 05:08 PM

So basically turn GTA into The Sims.

Mr. C 10-29-2011 05:52 PM

How's that turning GTA into The Sims? The dating/going out with friends is like a Sims game, but wanting a character customized doesn't really seem Sims.

Kane Knight 10-29-2011 06:15 PM

LOL. Yeah, customisation options are sims-like. And Xero loves Simdown vs Raw.
