Next GTA is already in development

Fudzilla: A number of sources, including Wedbush industry analyst Michael Pachter, are expecting the new chapter in the Grand Theft Auto franchise to arrive late 2011 or an early 2012 release. Our industry sources confirm to us that the title has been in development for some time.

I know, how absurd is this? That's like saying we have 24 hours to look forward to today. Not that I really care. I haven't ever beaten one GTA game or played them past 3 hours in total I believe. The closest I came was GTA-vice city -- I played that one for like 5 hours.

I_find_it_funny5294d ago (Edited 5294d ago )

I enjoyed reading this until ..Pachter.. COME ON, let's pretend he does not exist from now on, ok?

"(...) but they could choose to move it into early 2012, just as the company did with Red Dead Redemption"
not only RDR, but GTA4 was released in April and was huge success

GrieverSoul5294d ago (Edited 5294d ago )

Also, earth shattering news!!!

...

...

Tomorrow... will be... Wednesday! O.O

yess5294d ago

I think there is an old rule at R* that GTA games are released in october.

October 2012

TheLastGuardian5294d ago

Hopefully it will be ready in 2012. I don't think my wallet can take another must have game in 2011.

NecrumSlavery5293d ago

@ I find it funny

lol, i started reading until the words Michael Pachter came up, and then i, as always, back the hell out of that retardesness.

r1sh125293d ago (Edited 5293d ago )

@Balt...Youre right.
I mean we all knew after the two DLC releases im sure most of the team was working towards the next GTA. A small number would support, another small number would be making the PS3 version of DLC.
I just hope they dont use the stupid updated RAGE system from Red Dead, because it was much worse. You couldnt strafe smoothly when shooting other players (In MP), it would always step too far to one side.
Im really hoping GTA is back like it was in SA, because that had everything.
You could own a business/franchise, you could get driving/motorbike/boat lessons.
It had soo many things in that game, a few will need some refining but overall it was a solid game.
The multiplayer in GTA I though was great, Im sure the FPS fans didnt like it as much.
But it had lots to offer, racing, team games, objective games etc..
Even Free Mode.
I only hope they listen to some of the fan suggestions, the biggest problem with Red Dead Multiplayer - the health regeneration was too quick and the strafing.

norman295293d ago

@TheLastGuardian lol @ this being a must have game, did you not play GTA4?

BigKev455293d ago

Balt wonders why he only has 1 bubble left.

Coffin875293d ago

Just an obvious troll who's being way obvious.
Add one disagree, move on, and never think about that fool again.

toaster5294d ago

I don't think it's obvious as some people think it would be. They could have anything up their sleeve at this moment, LA Noire, Agent, Another Red Dead. I just want a GTA game that doesn't suck *ahem GTA4*.

I_find_it_funny5294d ago (Edited 5294d ago )

yea, I'm waiting for this Agent game, but to be honest I doubt it even exists

hennessey865294d ago

wasnt that bad, it wasnt the best in the series but it was still a good game

Cajun Chicken5294d ago

Rockstar North haven't done anything for about 2 years now. I would of thought it would be obvious that GTA5 is being made, at least in pre-production.

r1sh125293d ago

im sure it will be out mid 2011, if not april 2011.
Like you said they have been very quiet.
Although as usual they will not make any noise about the game until its very close to being completed.

5293d ago
BaSeBaLlKiD7215293d ago

You do know that Rockstar North is working on Agent?

so they definitely didn't sit on their asses doing nothing for the past two years...

guigsy5294d ago

Pretty sure they would've started development of some capacity after GTA4 was released.

rrw5294d ago

possibility

in E3 they announced GTA5 for november 2011
then they delay it for Q1 2012

saladthieves5293d ago

The Current Grand Theft Auto had a budget of $100,000,000 which made it one of the most expensive games ever made of all time. Most of the money was used for research and development as well as to license the 100s of tracks available in the game. I wonder how much the next iteration will cost?

ico925293d ago

oh please can it be in San Andreas, and can they refine allot of SA elements and build on top of that, instead of taking a step backwards with that overrated borefest GTA 4.

Thecraft19895293d ago

I don't really mind if its not in SA lets just hope its more like SA. More enjoyable to 100%.

BYE5294d ago (Edited 5294d ago )

They have:

- Agent
- GTA V
- Max Payne 3
- LA Noire

Did I miss anything?

That's a lot of games for Rockstar to develop at the same time! Let's hope they all deliever.

Edit: @ Assclown20
I know, but Agent and GTAV are both Rockstar North material. That's two huge scale games by one studio.

ECM0NEY5294d ago

Theres more then one R* team.

Coffin875293d ago

OMG Agent is R* North??
Thank you Sir for making my day.

Jellzy5294d ago

http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

With all those studios (except 2 - 1 shutdown, 1 other localization only), it isn't really that hard to believe that they are working on all those title's simultaneously.

Although... Both GTA V and Agent are rumoured to both being developed by Rockstar North.

Masterchef20075294d ago

They have been on agent for quite a while. We probably will see something in E3 about it. I hope they do a great job with it and i hope it runs better than GTA4

Commander_TK5293d ago

Rockstar is not developing L.A. Noire. For fuck's sake people, learn the difference between developing and publishing.

EliteDave935294d ago

About got damn time they say something about next GTA if they dont at E3 im gonna go nuts!

BYE5294d ago

I think Agent should be Rockstar North's priority for now, then GTAV. it's been announced so long ago and we didn't see anything yet.

49erguy5294d ago

And I thought 2011 was already filled to the brim with huge games.

ECM0NEY5294d ago

2011 would be awesome. 2012 is ok if it avoids a rushed product.

andron5294d ago

Duh...

But I don't expect GTAV until 2012 at the earliest...

Coffin875293d ago (Edited 5293d ago )

Yeah, I would say early 2013 is way more likely.
Good games take TIME, and the dudes at R* always take their time.
I would expect the full next year without any word from it, and then maybe around Sept/Oct 2012 like three trailers, previews late 2012, and release early 2013.

Milk...get your milk...and so much more. Really when you release the same games in three editions over 15 years it's amazing how much money, and the amount of sales you earn. It's amazing how no one can compete.

Mr_cheese33d ago

To be fair, no many companies could release the same game over and over. They've earned that whether we agree or not

DarXyde33d ago

I mean Resident Evil 4 has had longer legs and still hasn't done anything like this.

Profchaos33d ago (Edited 33d ago )

GTA v isn't the only game that's released three consoles generations running but nothing has sold those numbers including GTA San Andreas which is now 4 console generations deep.

anast33d ago

Looks like a 2040 release for GTA6

gold_drake33d ago

thats insane right?
absolutely insane

rlow132d ago

No surprising considering that it’s been on every major platform and store.

I decided to look up the longest and most sold games list. To my surprise Tetris has takes the top spot.

I mean, considering the amount of time between the two. It better be a massive upgrade. Especially with the amount of money Rockstar raked in from GTA Online.

MDTunkown40d ago

Most of scenes are pre rendered

andy8540d ago

Literally none are. If you know anything about rockstar they don't do that. Confirmed by themselves that this is all in-game

MDTunkown40d ago

Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?
Rockstar told 50% are cutscenes and rockstars always used better models during cutscenes than in game.
You legit seems to know rockstar very well.

andy8540d ago (Edited 40d ago )

It didn't though? And neither did RDR2. In fact it was actually the opposite. What's with the hate boner? If you don't like it just avoid the topic

InUrFoxHole39d ago

Why don't either of you provide proof. This is just a he said, she said argument at this point

generic-user-name40d ago

You're either lying or just don't know what pre rendered means. Pre rendered means that if you change the character's appearance (clothes, accessories etc) they wouldn't show up in the cutscenes because they were already made and aren't being rendered in real time. This is something that doesn't happen in Rockstar games.

"Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?"

In fact some of the scenes in RDR2 looked better in the retail version than at launched.

anast40d ago

The OP is taking the shot-gun approach: say a bunch of random tripe and see if something sticks.

repsahj40d ago

Damn! GTAV graphics are still awesome! But, I am so excited to play GTA6!!!

‘GTA V Gets Pulled from PS Plus as PC Players Continue to Favor Legacy Over Enhanced’

That’s an awful clickbait title. The use of the word ‘as’ means the first statement is the result of the second, when in reality they’re not connected.

Profchaos53d ago

Also the same for red dead redemption 2 and GTA trilogy (albeit they split that into individual games)

Tacoboto53d ago

It just got put back on Game Pass recently too.

GTA V is the pass-around sub title, and it probably doesn't even matter because everyone owns a copy or even two by now.

FortWaba53d ago

Trash article and trash website.

Doesn't even mention WHEN it's leaving.

gold_drake52d ago (Edited 52d ago )

so i looked cause i was curious, its still avaliable to me.

the headline is misleading asf.

also, how did no one report this. the editing is horrendous. they'd have my arse for this ha

gamerz52d ago

Noticed my copy of gta5 on Steam was already upgraded without me doing anything. How can you still play the legacy version?

Shiore2u52d ago

There should be a second listing right under it in your library.

Is there anything wrong with the enhanced version if you’re just playing single player?
