The Official Grand Theft Auto Five Thread

I stopped playing because I was tired of my cousin calling me and talking about BEEG AMERICAN TEETEES all the damn time. I hope they don't have any of that in V.

GTA:IV is the worst one since they did GTA:London. Don't get confused.

You keep saying that, but I don't know what the heck you're talking about. Especially since you didn't seem to like San Andreas either. Do you just not like innovation and expansion?

People still harp on that?! You know you can hang up phone calls or skip a cut scene, right?

Update: Official announcement from the Rockstar website:

"We are very proud to officially announce that Grand Theft Auto V is in full development.

Developed by series creator Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto V heads to the city of Los Santos and surrounding hills, countryside and beaches in the largest and most ambitious game Rockstar has yet created.

A bold new direction in open-world freedom, storytelling, mission-based gameplay and online multiplayer, Grand Theft Auto V focuses on the pursuit of the almighty dollar in a re-imagined, present day Southern California."

I already know others including myself are going to be wondering how far along "full development" is.

Also seems to suggest that San Fierro and Las Venturas will not be a part of this game.

Oscar tends to confuse his own opinions with facts.

You know what would be awesome? If they brought back the properties from Vice City. Buying properties, doing missions for them and then collecting money off of them was sweet.

I should be able to borrow IV from a friend, if I ever find the time to play it. Skyrim and Shadow of the Colossus/Ico will take up the rest of my year, and next year there's already things like the Silent Hill HD collection and Mass Effect 3 on the horizon (and I'll probably end up borrowing Skyward Sword and a Motion Plus thingy from a friend at some point as well).

Don't forget Bioshock Infinite.

[Der_Lex]

Meh, didn't care for the first Bioshock much, and never picked up the second.

[GNFfhqwhgads]

Good on ya for not picking up the second, it was pretty much garbage.

"So, what else can we do to make Bioshock 2 a unique sequel?"

"Well, you know how in Bioshock, the player had that segment where they had to protect a Little Sister while she collected Adam? Let's make the player do that for the entire game!"

"Brilliant!"

So far that's the only aspect of B2 that annoys me, but some things were improved, like the hacking bits. To quote Yahtzee:

...and apparently the universe is about to explode because a quick-time event has actually improved a game.

Another thing he touched on that I now remember from refreshing my memory by watching his review in order to get the above quote ver batim was the Big Sister. They seem to lack moral recognition since they attack you even if you saved a Little Sister, so why not have them attack only if you harvest the Little Sisters? Seems like a fair trade: More Adam due to "Evil" choice = Boss fight.

But this is about GTA V, so I'll say the trailer is looking pretty good.

I for one would be bored with GTA if every game was a Vice City/3/TeeTees remake with new textures. If people really wanted to play those, they should get LC or VC Stories, those weren't bad games (Well, LC wasn't at least). Just let people complain and whine and enjoy what you like.

I am hoping we get something good out of V in terms of multiplayer and a good story. IV was great fun, as were the expansions. Freeroam with my buddies still has good fun to it. I wish Multiplayer outside of freeroam won't be as poor as it was in IV.
