New Grand Theft Auto At E3?

GameInformer writes: Jesse Divnich, director of analyst services for Electronic Entertainment Design and Research (EEDAR), believes we may see a glimpse of a new Grand Theft Auto title at E3 in June.

Speaking to Game Informer, Divnich made a big prediction as to what we may see at the industry trade show in June. "I think we're going to hear about another Grand Theft Auto. I think there won't be any playable stuff. I think they'll give you some type of teaser, because we do think that a year from then in 2011 we're going to see another Grand Theft Auto."

Sony could get Agent and GTA V on the same stage. Much like they got FFXIII and Final Fantasy XIV.

[ThanatosDMC]

I hope it's better than GTA4. They really need to top San Andreas on quality and quantity. CJ and his friends were great. I hated Nico's cousin.

But one great mission in GTA4 that was most memorable was the Bank Heist. Wish we could do Bank Heist as normal sidemissions for a lot of money but to balance it keep it difficult like it was on the game.

[bnaked]

Maybe "GTA: Agent" ? ^^

[G3TDOWN]

GTA V will be a PS3 exclusive...

Signature: G3TDOWN 12/25/2009

[kaveti6616]

Everyone save this. G3TDOWN will be wrong.

[G3TDOWN]

It's either PS3 exclusive or it's multiplat and another WACK like GTA 4 which will end GTA series

[Government Cheese]

According to that teaser image in the episodes from liberty city manual, we might be getting a GTA announcement in march. Remember that the original GTA IV website came online in March 1st, with a countdown timer to the trailer (28 days later). They might do the same here.

[PS360PCROCKS]

thanatos - that bank heist was epic, like purely epic. Straight out of heat, it was incredibly cool. I was disappointed I couldn't choose to play it over multiple times though. By far and away the best part of the game.

[DaTruth]

Since this is multiplat, a three year dev cycle is too long. We already have the engine. Why would it take them 3 years to make the game? Oh yeah, they were busy producing 2 Additional stories in the same stupid city. One of those could have been the story in the next city.

Last time, it took them a year to put out the next game based on the same engine. Now we are going 3 years without a new iteration on the same engine. Thanks MS, for another great contribution to the industry!

[bpac123456789]

i thought that san andreas was superior to gta4 in every way. charachters, customization, LOCATION, time period, missions, variety, music, VEHICLES and most of all the FUN factor where all better in sanandreas. id buy that game with next gen graphics (not physics) over gta4 anyday. to me rockstars latest game was a huge dissapointment.

[ico92]

GTA4 for me was just a boring game the missions were repeptitive they were all like this
.drive to persons house for mission briefing
.go after target
.chase the target
.kill target
.lose wanted level
.return
.repeat

and its all you done over and over again with the exception of the bank heist which was awesome mission. san andreas was amazing there was so much variety and so many things you could do yes alot of them were not refined but it was still there, there were missions where you had top swim through underwater tunnels to get to a tanker, there was one where you had to parachute on top of a dam and blow it up there was a mission where you had drive a motorbike onto a moving plane, theres this awesome chase sequence that takes place through the entire los santos with the russian mafia, there was a mission where you break into area 51 and steal a jet pack and fly out YES A FREAKIN JET PACK...woah ive written an essay bottom line san andreas was a phenomenal game and easily the best gta superior to gta 4 in every way it also had a better soundtrack

[The Hunter]

Good possibility that GTA V have no exclusive downloadable content, but I think it is not needed.. GTA is from orginal a big game.. I have GTA IV on the PS3 and I have not completed it yet (missions and sidemissions)!

And if there comes DLC then everybody can enjoy! Hope this story is true ;)

[Microsoft HQ]

if it's like GTA4 I ain't buyin

[Johnny Rotten]

I agree the last one was dull and over-rated.

[Rocket Sauce]

Saint's Row stole me away from GTA.

[Rauland]

Really? The way i see it is that GTA is the high quality brand you buy at the shops and Saints Row 2 is the low quality, cheaper brand.

You must play too much arcade games, i really enjoy realistic games.

I really don't understand why people complain about GTA 4 being to "realistic" or "boring" sure it gets boring, but didn't all the past GTA's did? But you might not remember with the wacky driving physics the past GTA's had that caused your car to spin or flip when it hit a curb. I also remember when running over 3 people was the equivalent of hitting a wall. Or when the cops pop out of no where. Sure the game took out a few things, but it did update a lot of things other things. GTA 4 was a major improvement to the series.

I want more GTA's! They go places where other games don't dare to go!

[Microsoft HQ]

that's nonsense, sense when do you play GTA for realism LMAO! it's GTA not The Sims 2.0

[Caspel]

horrible opinion

[Rocket Sauce]

Saints Row 2 has planes, parachutes, tanks, car surfing, car customization, gambling, tons of crazy outfits, collectibles like property you can buy...

GTA 4 has...email...and car washes :(

It's stupid as hell and it rips off the GTA franchise, but Saints Row is a million times better. It feels like the real follow up to San Andreas.

[Rauland]

If you like Saints Row better, that's up to you. But i don't make my opinion up on what "everybody" else likes on the internet. So, you shouldn't too.

GTA has ALWAYS been heading for realism, PS2 hardware did not let them achieve it. Though to be honest, there could of been more over the top missions, like the bank one.

I'm also tired of people saying "I isnt buying teh COD6:MW2" then they go out and buy it, ugh.

People will say they HATE GTA and want it gone, but it's kinda like the Simpsons, it's been out for so long people want to see go away since it's popular. Doesn't matter anyway the next GTA will sell. Rockstar North will just create hype and re brand it to make it appear different from GTA IV, (vice city WILL do that) Oh and don't think it is going to be the best game ever that is 100% always fun.

[unrealgamer58]

damn right

[Raf1k1]

I know GTAIV wasn't as great as we thought it would be but I give Rockstar credit for trying something different with it.

After creating so many games in a franchise with the same gameplay and mechanics anyone would want to do something that was at least a little different and TBH I don't blame 'em. I'm sure they'll have learnt something from it and will be able to make GTAV that much better just as Ubi did with AC2.

[ZombieAutopsy]

Wonder how much MS is gonna give RockStar this time

[kaz-hirai]

MS will pay millions for 2 peices of flopped DLC that will end up PC and PS3 soon after ;-)

[Budg3tG4m3r]

Just like how The Lost and Damned and Ballad are on the PC and PS3 now... right?

[Ninji]

Just like how The Lost and Damned and Ballad will be on the PC and PS3 later.

[ZedoMann]

...but just how much later?

[villevalorox]

I want gta V in V(ice) city, and I want it to have amazing graphics, and great music like all past gta's except IV and great unrealistic controls like gta 3, vice, and san.

[xboxman08]

idk i actually like GTA IV i mean it wasnt the best but i liked it i love to see the next one in vice city

[Batzi]

a new GTA is always welcomed. E3 is going to be HOT!

[Bluemaster77]

This is an interesting rumor , hope to see more of it

[BaSeBaLlKiD721]

Go ahead and disagree ALL YOU WANT. Here we go, I actually enjoyed GTAIV more than I did with San Andreas... That's just my opinion so yeah, the disagree button is right there for you to slam.

[villevalorox]

I'm starting to look at the "disagree" button as opinions, I used to be so offended by how many I would get sometimes, but just look at them saying My opinion is different! not haha ur wrong.

[perseus]

I just bought GTAIV yesterday, and it seems a lot more fun than San Andreas was, if only because the graphics are great, and the cars are fun to drive. I haven't even shot a gun yet, but I'm enjoying it thoroughly.

And really, I don't know why you guys don't remember how bad the writing in San Andreas was. The story was okay, the voice acting was fine, and the game was fun as hell, but the actual script was garbage. It was painful to listen to people talk.

It was like a 16 year old white boy watched too many rap videos and then wrote the game script.

[swiftshot93]

If there is one thing we can all agree on though its that GTA IV has mind-blowing attention to detail that no other game has, except for MAYBE Uncharted 2. Not even Nintendo can touch Rockstar when it comes to attention to detail.
However, I do agree that over the top missions were lacking and the fun factor was inconsistent, but Rockstar North has created the most realistic city and game of all time, its definitely gonna be very interesting to see where the franchise is heading next. I personally cant wait.

[PS360PCROCKS]

Totally agree the game was very immersive, city was alive. I liked the implementation of the euphoria engine in the game. Cars were hard but were fun to drive later on in the game. I thought the graphics were amazing for such a large game. It got a lot of hate but I certainly enjoyed it.

[DaTruth]

I spent hours on things such as; Pushing people down staircases, starting a gunfight with a gang, then calling the Police for backup and watching them fight each other, and pushing people down and then throwing their coffee cups and cell phones at their heads!

Also, the driveby mechanic was much improved and I spent a lot of time in car chases with Police just speeding through town gunning them up!

My only real beefs are the fact that my nephew popped in San Andreas and I could hardly tell the difference and that Rockstar originally said that they wanted every building to be enterable in some way, and that got scaled back because of DVD 9, also things like planes and the size of the city being scaled back too!

[Dutch Boogie]

Meh i'd rather them release Agent first. Something new and fresh is what i want. I don't won't another GTA game unless it's taking full advantage of the ps3's hardware capabilities.

[Sigh]

as to what San Andreas had: Customization. Omg how I loved that game just because of that. Plus I liked the old school hip hop theme, but I know the next one won't be, just hopefully a good story contained with great characters and you got my money.

But then again, I wanna see Agent footage first.

[Myzer]

I'd rather they come up with something new. I'm over GTA.

[stonecold1]

but if rockstar are working on a new gta v for the ps3 exclusive i will buy it to make sure they can have gtav running at 60fps 1080p on ps3 with one blu ray i will get it day 1 but if multi the 360 going hold the ps3 development back and would not prefer to be gimped like gta4 was plus the xbox 360 as the 2 dlc expansion packs im cool with that anyway i grew tired of gta4 gta5 need to be ps3 only

[DaTruth]

If that's what you want, you better pick up the PC version. PS3 is good, but it won't give you open world 1080p 60 fps. But people said it couldn't do that in any demanding game and now we have GOWIII!

[Bluemaster77]

Yea just like all the other 60fps 1080P games on the system lmao cmon dude

[Aleusia]

the new GTA is PS3 exclusive, or at least wait to make a 360 port, wait until the full ps3 version is complete and on store shelves like you did with GTA3 and Vice City.

So we don't get a gimped product held back by Microsoft's failure and its limitations.

[hudsoniscool]

the xbox may have limits that are slightly under the ps3 but that didnt afect gta4 because that game came out in 08 and 360 hasnt reached its limits yet. you can see this by looking at MW2,Batman AA,splinter cell conviction,mass effect 2, allen wake, and halo reach. as you can see 360 graphics havent reached there limits and wont at least untill halo reach comes out.

[hudsoniscool]

they maybe multiplatform but there 2 of the best looking games coming out. i seen some landscape footage for crysis 2 for 360 and ps3. they look the same and the gam will have the best looking graphics of any game ever released.

[Aleusia]

It isn't just about graphics or the "superior" gpu in the 360, it's also about disc format and space available. The cell processor also factors into ps3 exclusives having better gameplay with more expansive Artificial Intelligence (which should be prime focus for GTA) and physics...the 360 cannot achieve these things. The best exclusive on the 360 is Gears of War and that's just more of the same ole gameplay we've seen for years..nothing in the AI department or physics..just take cover and shoot aliens when they pop out.

[stonecold1]

was tapped when gears of war 2 came out

[ATi_Elite]

I love GTA but they got to make it more like San Andreas and then add some new stuff. Microsoft got burned by that exclusive crap. Rockstar knows Sony got them there big break and never bite the hand that feeds you. GTA needs something new, how many hookers can one person kill and not be bored?

[Aleusia]

They need to make the game on blu ray and not be limited by what the disc can hold.

The ps3 port of GTA IV wasnt bad graphically and did its job so we know they can work with the PS3's unique architecture too and really make Grand Theft Auto something great.

[nefertis]

at least we got agent. Play3beyond

[ATi_Elite]

yeh I agree and I think Rockstar will make it for the PS3 first then port it over to the Xbox 360 and PC. That way they can really make it special like Uncharted 2 and Killzone 2

Actually make it for the PS3, then port that to the Xbox 360
then make a version to truely capture the power of the PC.

[DJ]

Plain and Simple.

[bdog8121]

when has rockstar ever be at a e3
in my recent memory never
and rockstar really needs to amp
this next one up i hope they blow
san andreas out of the water
but IV was good though it deserved
all the 10s it got
i still havent seen a city
like liberty reproduced in another
game so major props to Rockstar

[Xtremist]

Maybe we will get a 360 exclusive GTA with Natal support?
I mean GTA with all these parallel activities and mini games is one of the best ways to showcase Natal controls.

[Noctis Aftermath]

I had a good laugh, nice delusion there boy.

[Xtremist]

Thanks for the quote.
I was hearing sounds of laughter coming from the bottom of my toilet.
Now i know that they weren't delusions...

[Droid Control]

Would be sweet.

But who cares about GTA anymore though? Last gen.

[galgor]

When was the last time R* announced a new GTA at E3? & no, the GTA IV on 360 does not count.

[keysy420]

this game needs to be exclusive to ps3 or i wont buy itim tired of half ass games cause of the box. we could have gotten all the islands in one disk if it was exclusive. if its not exclusive im done with gta

[ULTIMATE_REVENGE]

If the PS3 exclusive game 'Agent' turns out to be mind blowing in terms of Graphics, A.I, Physics, Animations etc.. then we all know why GTA4 turned out to be a flop (360's limitations).

[NiiGhTx]

If its a multiplat, i aint buying it.

6.8 GB doesnt do shiiiiiiiittttttt.

50Gigness ftw

[Official General]

If Rockstar are gonna make a next GTA it has GOT to be a better game than GTA 4, which of course was a good, but it's still a disappointing game. I wanna see more varied and fun side missions with different ways to make money and gain power like robbing banks, stores, heists, selling and moving drugs, buying properties, owning businesses, taking over territories and building up your own gang. I also wanna see the main character being able to enter every store and public building in the game. There should also be more random activity by pedestrians like robbings, beatings, gang fights and gun battles. Some more customization options would be a great addition aswell. Simply put, Rockstar just better make a better game this time!

I think some people on here got it a lil' twisted. No one is really saying they dont wanna see another GTA or they are tired of the series. What I think most people are saying is that after being letdown by GTA 4 they simply dont want another bad GTA game from Rockstar again.

I think the realism was great for the detail and design of the city environment. I think Rockstar created the most realistic city environment ever seen in a video game. But the story-driven plot took itself a little too seriously and that along with the repetitive hunt-and-kill missions took out most of the real fun elements that GTA was known for back in it's heyday.

[Pootangpie]

the answer is nothing only make it look worse bluray proved absoutly nothing for the PS3 exclusive what's so ever other then uncompressed textures you know for the shack of this I hope GTA5 never comes to PS3 just to teach you ignorant sony ****ers a lesson you don't deserve this game and need to STFU
