Grand Theft Auto V to take place in San Andreas

I was told it was basically Vinewood. I can’t see the entire game being set there, though; it’s too small.

Just watched it again. I’ve spent a ton of time in LA. I can’t believe how well they “get” it. The atmosphere’s perfect.

There are signs like Los Santos fitness club also road signs like East Los Santos and numerous other stuff. Also I just saw a sonic jet and don’t forget the plane if there are vehicles of that sort it’s gotta be a huge map.

I just hope this doesn’t chug like 4.

Thoughts: This game will die (for me) if you can’t use every inch of that awesome landscape. I want to find food in the bottom of dumpsters and trashcans, kick up drug dens and steal all their gear, guns and ammo hidden behind the cupboards in NCIS-style raid sequences, not GTA’s usual bastardized combat.

And for all those planes, bikes, cars and other vehicles, they’d better feel like you’re flying, riding or driving them. And then it had better be deep. Deeper than a grave dug by the mafia’s finest diggers. I don’t want pissy goto A, do B to C and come back missions. The missions in GTAV had better have heart, soul, logic and reason, that affects the city and the people in it.

@99, i think mountains are just a scenery. No way it is in there.

It’s just a family picture just for fun.

“NEED MONEY FOR BEER, (…)
AT LEAST I’M NOT BULLSHITTING U!”

No, I don’t think that’s Niko Belic.

@105 Prepare to be disappointed.

@106 Well there were mountains in San Andreas.
I agree I am not pumped at all till I see real gameplay or announcing PC version

@109

I’m fairly sure there was no gameplay released for IV until the video reviews came out.

@#48
PS3 Exclusive! *CONFIRMED*

That was… dull. Uninteresting, even.

Did nothing for me at all.

San Andreas again? I’m fine with it, but please don’t ruin the good SA memories with your shitty serious business open world shooter bullshit, then I’ll consider buying it.

@#106 you could be right there. Only time will tell

After rewatching it many times it looks like the oldish looking guy with the greying hair will be the main player chracter. He appears in many shots (mid shot back to cam, the heist wearing red jump suits and driving the blue convertable and the VO makes more sense too)

some folks speculate its Ray Liotta doing the VO. if thats the case will we be playing an older and wiser (guy) Tommy ?

I didnt wanna get this obsessed, damn you rockstar.

#112 Run for cover!!

Just for clarification, its generally accepted (and stated openly by the Housers themselves) that the current gen Grand Theft Autos have no relation to the last gen titles. Especially in regards to past character. They’re done and dusted.

Not even the cities bare any resemblance to the previous games, bar the names they keep reusing. They can basically do whatever the hell they want want with them. So any speculation based on past titles is probably a waste of time.

@115 Eh. *shrugs*

Hey, we might even see area 69 again! (JETPACK)

My guess is that GTAV will be at least double the size of L.A. featured in “L.A. Noire”.

Gimmie.

Gimmie now.

Not bad, a lot of colors, i don’t know why but the trailer reminds me of just cause and the sims(!?!?), i hope it will be more similar to the various gta3s. In any case i have other priorities

Heard that the protagonist’s name is Adrian, so far the rest of that rumour I read seems spot on, he seems Hispanic, it’s based in San Andreas (which to be fair was the most speculated guess) & it seems obvious that you start off in Los Santos.

Other parts of this rumour include: SA It’s based in 2012, the return of multiplayer including a co-op story, it’ll include all the cities from San Andreas, just a little larger, turf wars returned (something I had a love-hate relationship with in SA, the hate mainly being that I took most of the city then done a mission which made my progress irrelevant), we’ll get the national guard rather than the military for the 6th star, car modding is back, improved cover system, girlfriends have returned (sigh) & there are multiple endings based on moral choices* (apparently there’s 4, 2 good & 2 bad).

No guarantee that this is all true, but it’s got me pretty convinced.I guess once we hear the name of the protagonist, we can either confirm or dismiss this.

*Potenteial spoiler* Also seems that R* may end up continuing their tradition involving the protagonist that’s been set from their past 2 games depending on your decisions.

@120: Aren’t trying to be so realistic anymore? That’s a huge downer. :/

@122, A lot of people didn’t liked realism in GTA4 because it was in the middle of a typical arcadish GTA gameplay and realism which was not fun for some people.

In my opinion Rockstar should do like this: One game with more realistic gameplay and story, next one your everyday arcadsih gameplay and etc.

Variety with each title is much better.

@106, I think you’re wrong. There are too many pointers to regions outside the city for it just to be urban based. The jet, the wind farm, the mountain scene, the various other small things that I’ve no doubt missed. It’ll be a big one, and hopefully a more fun one that doesn’t involve pandering to shit friends.

In summary: You + Nostradamus =bad, mountains + jet = good.

Wonder how everyone would’ve reacted if at the end it just had

“December 1 2011″

HEAD ASPLODE

@123: The only thing that bothered me about GTAIV was the writing. They really need to stop with these annoying character. Yes they are fun and exquisite at first, but damn, you can’t listen to their bullshit the second time around.

I don’t want Jetpacks in a realistic setting. That’s just stupid.

What i like of the leaked info:
+9 radio station with better music(opinion of the one who leaked the info), personally i hated gta4 radios
+fun cheats are back!
+military are back with 6 stars

What i don’t like
-more girfriends(i hated the social part of gta4)

About the rest? …I can deal with it

I think GTA should be more realistic in sense not over the top like Just Cause or Saint Row.

@Yoshi comment #72

Not the comments shit for brains, the frigging title of the article and picture which is plastered across the front page…it couldve just said “GTA V trailer goes live” or “holy shitballs its GTA V” for all I care…and then went into detail within the text of the article while warning that those wishing to view the trailer and find out for themselves would be spoiled of the location…

Even though its been rumoured that it was going to be San Andreas/Los Santos/Vinewood forever now since that Kotaku article outed it a while ago

yawn

Please be fun again

No platforms and no date.

Why must you tease us like this, R*?

All of that “leaked info” is complete nonsense.

Trust the trailer and your eyes, everything else is garbage.

No doubt another dirge with the worst racial and cultural stereotypes imaginable. Great physics, shame about everything else.

NICE!

If you look at the video as a whole, you can see things like the private jet, aswell as the military jet. The scene with the family by the mountains i can firmly believe we will be able to explore these mountains. Why there would be speculation to why we could not? I dont know..but think of games such as Just Cause and Just Cause 2 these worlds…both very massive could easily be done by rockstar, now im not saying its gonna be that big, but in my oppinion it should be about 2-3 times larger than the previous san andreas…i liked gta iv but the shabby like 5 min drive from sultan rs spawn to airport to me…just isnt enough. I hope the use features like they have shown in the video such as the convertible working and such. Also the scenery should move like the Oil wells and the Windmills not just sit completely still.

but you can say the map is going to be very large. I mean, if you see the size of the freeway and how big the mountains are. If we can go over the mountains….. in san andreas it was possible to, so… and it would be really nice if there are some animals in the mountains too. But we’ll see when R* comes with more news.

Ummm, why was this brought up again?
