Grand Theft Auto V development 'well underway'

Sources close to Rockstar Games say latest installment in blockbuster franchise is already getting final touches; 2012 release "pretty likely."

[_EvilMonkey_]

I sure hope so.

[Shaman]

Its's gamespot source,so its probably much more serious than some german site that was writting about it last year.

Anyway...HELL YESS!!!Let it be VC R*!

[Eiffel]

I'd take San Andreas over Vice City.

Give me an entire state this time, not another confined city.

[Shaman]

I wouldn't.Vice City with RAGE engine...oh my...0_o.Not just the city,maybe state of Florida with big city being Vice City.I wouldn't mind next SA for the last year of this gen though...

[Solidus187-SCMilk]

noone would want to drive from miami to orlando in a game. Everyone would just fast travel between cities, making the in between pointless.

Trust me, I live in Florida, and most of the state is covered by woods, swamp and small redneck towns. Only a few cities worth going to.
I could understand if they had more than one city, but an entire state or even only the big cities is not possible. It would take way too much time, money and space. They would not be able to get all cities on there, and what is the point of having the whole state if there is a crap load of empty space in between the few cities that they could make.

Even with every single city and town in FLorida, there would still be way too much empty space in between. It would have to be on 20DVDs and multiple blurays, and would have a bunch of loading after traveling a while. Not to mention the DEV time needed to do something like that.

I think they should focus on one or two big cities, maybe some towns outside the city. My main problem with GTA 4 was the friendship and phone calls that they added, totally pointless and dumb.

[TheDivine]

Ive always wanted gta new orleans. So many great things could be done there. Id like it to have a big hurricane hit and parades and voodoo. All the crazy charm no has.

[nickjkl]

infamous 2

[kma2k]

@ The Divine i dont think they would want to go the new orlans route, Infamous 2 just did that. Granted GTA could do it better, but why duplicate a city that was so recently done!

[nopunctuation]

This game has probably been in development for a long time. Rockstar started on GTA IV right after san andreas was released so I dont see why they would not do the same here.

[Ahasverus]

Make it a two DVD - 1BR game with both San Andreas AND Vice City. Otherwise why does it have taken so long to be made? it must be epic in scope

[NYC_Gamer]

i believe they should wait and release it on next gen hardware

[jbiz330]

and I believe youre an idiot.. Who wants to wait till 2014 possibly for a GTA game?

[Prcko]

omg omg omg
every time i hear gta 5 my heartbeat going over 100

[Kon]

PC and PS3 only.

[nopunctuation]

360 is pretty likely to be included as well. I think Rockstar learned its lesson on developing for 360 as the primary build though and hopefully they will use PC or PS3 as the primary build and port it to Xbox 360. It makes all the versions better really.

[slavish3]

last time i checked final fantasy was developed on ps3 1st and port to 360 and they got screwed so learn the facts. Better if they develope all 3 simultaneously.

[HappyTrigger]

I know that most of you would like to see this game a PC and PS3 exclusive because you no longer want it to be "dumb down", but c'mon, actually think about the gamers who don't give a crap about that stuff. People who actually enjoy the game.

[GodsHand]

I still enjoy GTA:IV. Though it would of been nice if PS3 users did not have to wait so long for the DLC, seeing as I own the copy for PS3.

As for what city GTA:V will be, I have a feeling it will be Los Angeles (San Andreas). Just because of Mid-Night Club: LA, and LA Noir, even though that city is set some time ago. They pretty much laid the ground work for the cities to be used in the next GTA Series.

[FunkMcnasty]

How does the Xbox 360 "dumb down" a multiplat game?? People on this website talk about the 360 like it's an Atari 2600. I don't get it..

[jbiz330]

good luck in hoping for that to happen.

[Burning_Finger]

PSVITA can handle it.. Make it happen R*.

[nopunctuation]

Id like to see San Andreas stories on Vita. As far as a full fleged GTA on a handheld goes, that is a prettty bad idea. As good as Vita is, it could hold back the potential of the game.

[a08andan]

Allow me to say: http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[lazertroy]

Do like the Driver Parallel Lines. And do Different time periods. Start in the 70's then the 80's,90's etc. With different cars,music atmosphere. Also be massive im talking Way bigger then San Andreas.

[EliteDave93]

Cant wait for the official announcement R* always makes it epic.

[telekineticmantis]

to GTA.

[Ahasverus]

I think the "fun sandbox" will be delivered by Saints Row 3. If GTA keeps being serious I'm all for it, Rockstar are getting flawless in storytelling, I don't want dick jokes thrown in

[telekineticmantis]

but running around like an old man with arthritis, ruins the fun. GTA has never been a serious game so blending the 2 in a misbalance is ruining it.

[FunkMcnasty]

I agree. I'd like to see R* keep on the same realistic path that they took with GTAIV. And besides, there was plenty of humor abound in that game, both in dialoge between characters and in the way R* flawlessly captured the nonsense of our modern day society through stinging satire.

If people want a cartooney, over the top action/crime sandbox game they have SR

[yamzilla]

just DO NOT release it this gen of consoles, please!

I could not stand how awful and grainy and sub-sub-hd it looked on consoles, stopped playing and waited for the pc version

wow, what a difference the game is in true 1080p with 16x anti aliasing and perfect shadowing

Do Not do it Rock*
I know you are gready and want to release another ugly game like la noire on your ugly ass engine, but please, please, for the love of all that is sacred,

WAIT TILL NEXT GEN!!!!

[Shaman]

Yea,but it was their bad for that grainy look.RDR on 360 looks quite sharp.Now,if they could get it to work on 720p and some kind of MLAA or FXAA that would be even better.That grainy look was just because they decided to put grainy post process filter.

LA nore is not on RAGE.There are some parts(animations) of RAGE engine,but its their engine.
RDR looks sick for open world game,new GTA would look even better.

[zero_gamer]

gready?

[Ahasverus]

WTF are you talking about? Do you think people is expecting only graphics like you? we want another GTA for its rewarding gameplay and great story as always, if they decide to make it on the f///ng NES it would still be epic, and certainly, I couldn't care less aboyt 16x antialising and 1080p, as long as I can tell what is going on screen, I'm fine with it.

[zero_gamer]

I'm with you. A good game is still a good game. It's better with all the AA, 1080p, 60FPS but still it's all about the gameplay. Gamers this generation play games for the graphics rather than the gameplay itself.

[Jack-Dangerously]

I am so sick of seeing your garbage dude. Go talk to your friends about crap like that. Grow up and keep it off of here.

[i_da_pappy]

i'll believe it when rockstar confirms it themselves.

[marioPSUC]

well of course Rockstar is working on another GTA game.

[Black102WingS]

Lets hope for a better PS3 version at least.

[Nes_Daze]

Can't wait, to me GTA is one of the best franchises in gaming. It will blow away any Saints Row game and any other sandbox game in its way.

[RavageX]

I'll wait till well after its released to hear what people have to say.

I don't want another "Real Life" GTA/Sims game.

Well, I wouldn't mind as long as it has "fun" in it. 4 was seriously lacking "fun".

Saint's Row 3 however, is a day 1 buy for me.

[TheNocturnus]

YAWN.. getting tired of GTA V rumors. I want solid proof or nothing!

[scotchmouth]

Dont click on the article then.

[Nodoze]

Um perhaps it is just me, but I say screw GTA V. Have all of Rockstar focus on the next Red Dead. As it stands the game has been wholly unserved with DLC (aside from the zombie fest). I have zero interest in western setting zombies.

So how about it Rockstar? Oh and this time, place a little more effort into the PS3 version.
