No Grand Theft Auto V planned for 2010

Nick from PS3Center writes:

But what about Grand Theft Auto V? Rumors have popped up lately, indicating a new GTA would hit sometime in 2010. Take-Two was very tight lipped on the matter, despite being pressed hard about it during the Q&A session following the conference call.

[gauntletpython]

I thought this was pretty predictable... Looks like they are pretty content just doing DLC updates for the next year, especially now that they are working on Agent too.

[shadowfox]

some interesting wording going on there... what they say is "year that won't have a MULTIPLATFORM release of a new GTA".

Will GTA5 be going PS3 or 360 timed exclusive...? Pandoras box > opened!

[FrankFoxJaegar]

really, really hope agent is coming out soon.

[G3TDOWN]

This game comes in 2 discs for Xbox 360

so that way all gamers can enjoy the game

At least that's better than nothing for 360 fans because GTA IV pushed the DVD limit

[UnSelf]

man i really pray they are working on a GTA PS3 exclusive.

(sigh) The possibilities, lets speculate why dont we:

1. New blu ray disk allows the virtual modern equal to the size of what San Andreas was on the ps2 now transitioned to the ps3.

2. An entire alternate campaign delegated to just co-op play.

3. Over 500 cars available and every type of vehicle every seen

4. Over 100 weapons to choose from to get the mission done.

5. An entirely different co-op mode that allows you to assist other PSN members in their campaign and once you enter their world you can start YOUR OWN campaign from scratch alongside theirs.

6. Abandoned Dogs, snow, and highways spanning thousands of virtual feet, now litter the game.

7. Continental aircraft, harrier military f-14's, and off coast battleships surround every surface.

8. The backstory of the new character is an ex military operative discharged from the Army. He was overseas or fought in Desert Storm.

9. 50 hr campaign

10. (inhales) Land mines, flamethrowers, satchel charges, combat knives, dynamic CQC system, Army choppers, most buildings can be entered, water towers can be exploded, buildings can collapse and be rebuilt over time, 4d, tunnels being built, bridges also, character can age, choose between a man or woman lead

11. Clothes now get ripped in battle

12. A more intuitive police system

13. No more health packs, becuz of ur military background you now have to heal yourself depending on where the wound is. Heal leg, to walk if not you'll limp. Heal arm to shoot and grab things, climb etc, if not he'll hold it. However there is limb specific kevlar to stop these things from happening often.

14. You established your own military freedom fighter clan, to help you with missions and such, you can summon at any time unless, one died in battle or is wounded, etc

15.Cops dont simply give up after a chase, you increase your most wanted list and if you hit the top level they will be a statewide alert for your capture, until you inevitably change your ID. Cost: 5,000

16. in addition to weapons and armor you now have advanced utilities and prototypes. Zip lines, parachutes, flares, chaff, flashbangs, rocketpack, lock picks, night vision, wire traps.

17. Instead of property you now buy warehouses that store all your weaponry, gadgets. You also can purchase or achieve a S.H.E.I.L.D like airbase that you can access only through flight.

18. All cars and vehicles now have a gas fuelage amount. You also have to refuel your jet and choppers time to time.

19. The plot of the campaign is you've been discharge from Iraq and you are now trying to reassemble your own military faction to return and finish the job.

20. This is not a rags to riches story. all the money and property you earn are essential to your mission.

@Bubbles

dream on dude. The ps3 software is selling like 50% what the 360 does. Also rockstar will look into the wii and see if they can make some more money there.

You think just because devs can fill up the gigs on the bluray that they will do it with real content. I thought GTA3 was better than SA just because it was more compact. In SA you had allot of roads but empty as hell and boring not to forget.

Why everybody talking about agent so much?

We only saw the logo of the game.......... let's wait for some gameplay shall we? :)

kiss for all the angry ps3 fanboys on n4g.

[DaTruth]

Nothing is more annoying, than the trolls who insist they hate PS3 fanboys and then direct all of their comments toward the very people they supposedly hate so much.

I personally don't engage in conversation with people I hate; In fact, I do my best to stay away from them.

[Bnet343]

They are busy with GTA IV DLC and The Agent.

[Tony999Montana]

@pppppeach

Who is a fanboy? You just invented factual information to try and win an argument against PS3. GTA has sold 5.67 million on PS3 and 7.13 million on 360. Hardly half the amount and taking into account the fact that 360 has exclusive DLC as a selling point and a wider user base, it seems that 360 isn't such a great investment for rockstar afterall. Plus lets not forget that GTA sold more on PS3 by far in every region except for the 360 loving USA.

Does it really annoy you that much that people are talking about Agent. It's an intriguing game and should be treated the same way as any potential hit; be it in movies, games or music. Hype is only natural. If anything your comment on the matter shows your insecurities of your purchase. I for one am happy to be able to play games on 360 and PS3 ( I sold my wii, when nothing came out for a while)

[krouse93]

@ ShadowFox

Your right dude thats some crazy wording.

[gauntletpython]

i just hope that DLC comes to the PS3 at some point. I'm jonesing for some more GTA.

[Bnet343]

Don't get your hopes up, Microsoft paid for it.

[poindat]

No, if I recall they only paid for the 2 episodic packs. Anything that comes after is likely going to be on the PS3 as well as the 360.

[ghostface]

Just finish GTA4, and I must say, It was quit fun. hope for some ps3 DLC.

[TheDeadMetalhead]

Pachter is wrong again.

[gauntletpython]

I think at this point, HipHop Gamer is more accurate than Patcher.

[FrankFoxJaegar]

lol...

[Gamer_Politics]

i'm waiting for that GTA;ep's from liberty city disc....

[MetalGearBear]

least i get agent and LA noire.

[SmokingMonkey]

isn't R* making Agent ('the' Agent?)

we shouldn't expect GTAV till after we have at least 'seen' Agent.

Oh and 'giggidy' on Agent

Open World R* game set in the late 70's (timed?) exclusive for PS3, I can't wait. i hope it's the next Vice City.

[Jack Klugman]

agent will be a great one on the 360. and yes it will be coming to the 360. as sure as mass effect and left 4 dead are coming to the ps3.

[swiftshot93]

Sony confirmed that they struck a deal with Rockstar way back in 2007, this one is exclusive dude.

Agent wont come to 360, however FF 14 has a very good chance. Jack Tretton shrugged off the question of FF 14 being a true exclusive, meaning we'll a mere timed exclusive.

[NegativeCreep427]

Your butt-headed delusions know no end! Setting your hopes and dreams on every PS3 exclusive now, aren't you? I swear just a second ago you were running your mouth on how the PS3 has nothing good to offer. Now you aren't the type of person to hope for the games of another console that you've bashed as having nothing good, now are you???

[saimcheeda]

is confirmed to be ps3 only, however maybe the next installment may be multi, L.A Noire may also be multi but us PS Owners have a choice between L.A Noire ad Agent or we can get both!!

[Shadow Man]

is on XBOX360.

[Shadow Man]

is on XBOX360.

[Model]

O RLY ?
played both version, both had major framerate issues
hope this get fixed in V

[TheTruth89]

Correct!!!

But for GTA V you have to buy a PS3, due to Blu-Ray unlimited features.

Anyway... the news say:

"NOT PLANNED!"

This mean that the game is in an active development status.

[JonnyBigBoss]

I think we're all anticipating The Agent. I can't imagine it being as much of a bummer as GTIV.

[wildcat]

.

[Spike47]

Look at multiplatform games and you'll see that the PS3 version doesn't sell half of what the xbox360 version sells. Especially with GTA4, have you seen the sales for this game per platform? go check them out, you should.

BTW, I doubt a GTA game will ever be a PS3 exclusive again, howver, at least we can look forward to Agent.

[Lou-Cipher]

Grand Theft Auto will always sell millions of copy's no matter what console it is on.

Just because GTA 4 sold around 5-6 million units on the PS3 doesn't mean that GTA5 if exclusive would only sell that much as well.

If GTA 5 was exclusive to the PS3 it would easily sell more than 10 million units.

If GTA 5 was exclusive to the Wii it would easily sell more than 10 million units.

If GTA 5 was exclusive to the 360 it would easily sell more than 10 million units.

Rockstar could introduce a new console called the Rockstarstation360(Retail for $399 at a store near you) and only release Grand Theft Auto games on it, and they would still sell millions of copy's.

There are a handful of games that will always sell extremely well no matter what console they are on, and Grand Theft Auto is one of those games. (Look what the Halo franchise did for the Xbox)

[keysy420]

the agent cant come to 360 cause of system limitations. its supposed to support 2000 people on the screen at once 360 jut can't handle a game that big that is a sandbox title. meaning you would have to swap disc in the middle of playing. just not feasible. especially with no mandatory harddrives.

[keysy420]

gta was exclusive but sony struck a deal with rockstar that they would gt another exclusive for gta gong multi. sorry droid sony is gonna make you pay 400

[JJFNIGHTS80]

Who says Rockstar is making GTA V? GTA IV is only a year old .

[Javier19]

Well DUH! theres 2 new DLC coming in 2010, i would say GTA V late 2010

[The Milkman]

Thank god because the longer its in development the better in my opinion. I think they should wait for the new consoles from Microsoft, Sony, (or Nintendo? lol?) to come out. Because usually the first games launched on a system gets the most attention. Just put out some impressive trailers and its sold. Because you know how excited we got when we looked at the graphics on the next gen while we sat at home with our current gen.

I remember playing GTA on ps1, then I seen GTA coming to ps2 my jaw dropped lol. I want the next GTA to be for the next gen though. Because everytime I buy a just released console theres not many games for it. I guarantee if GTA was one of the first on the lineup, it would keep me busy offline or online until more games become available. Not everyone has internet, so it would be fun for both parties.

I would like that to happen but I doubt it will... If anything it will probably be several of years after the next consoles launch. I just feel GTA IV came out too late this gen.

[BannedForNineYears]

Too busy working on Agent ^_^ PS3 exclusive...

[PotNoodle]

We won't see a GTAV till the next gen, we will see vice city and san andreas type releases based off GTAIV for the current gen consoles.

[Pika-pie]

Well Duh.... We probabely wont even see GTAV this gen

[Bren86]

It won't even be called GTA V.

[Ninjamonkey]

Why would they make a new angine and spent tons updating when people are happy with DLC??

Im not evem getting the DLC, I just like roaming around in GTA I doubt Id get the fith one straight away...
