A new GTA in 2012? Looks likely

Archive: 6 posts


Gamers who are chomping at the bit to strike havoc on a new virtual city may not have to wait much longer.
Rockstar, the publisher behind the Grand Theft Auto series, told the website Gamespot.com that development is already "well under way" for Grand Theft Auto 5.The project should wrap up within the next several months, and a 2012 release across all the major platforms is "pretty likely," the site said

Grand Theft Auto is, of course, known for its controversial yet highly addicting and critically acclaimed portrayal of seedy, crime-filled life.

Players are rewarded for participating in underground drug markets, and inflicting violence on innocent citizens.

But beyond its notorious relationship with media and parent activist groups, the GTA series has gained commendations for its brilliant programming, amazing graphics, and open-ended environments.

GTA 5 will take that legacy even further, with Gamespot calling it "the big one" - players will be able to roam around a huge city with vast, sweeping environments that are beyond anything previously seen in the series.

Earlier rumors have suggested that unlike the fictional cities GTA has become known for, GTA 5 will take place in a digital version of Los Angeles.

GTA 4 was available for the PS3 and Xbox 360; it's assumed GTA 5 will be released on the same platforms and likely for the same $60 price tag.

this looks promising. I'm a big fan of the GTA franchise, although I was somewhat disappointed with GTA IV. If it does take place in a digital version of L.A. that would be cool. But hopefully they'll do it more like San Andreas and have countryside areas as well. Looking forward to this one.

If L.A. Noire and GTAV are made by the same division, or at least cooperating divisions, I can see why GTAV would be set in Los Angeles. GTAV could take the basic footprint of L.A. Noire's replication of Los Angeles, remap the buildings that are no longer there, and update the buildings that are still standing. I see a Los Angeles setting being likely, although I am just throwing out an idea.2011-07-04 20:27:00

I'm still waiting for a GTA: San Andreas Stories

But I'm sure any game Rockstar will make will rock.

Hopefully if not a return to San An or Vice City or an actual recreation of LA, than a whole new town/environment entirely. I would like to see boats used more often in the next gta. It seems like outside of one or two missions and a few activities there isn't really any reason to ever touch a boat.2011-07-04 20:51:00
