Ray Liotta not in GTA V trailer, says reps

gta v 3

Reckon Ray Liotta was in yesterday’s GTA V unveil trailer? You reckon wrong: reps for the Goodfellas actor, who voiced Tommy Vercetti in GTA: Vice City, confirmed to IGN he wasn’t in the clip. It was thought by some fans they might have heard his voice, indicating a return for Vercetti might be on the cards. Alas, unless its been recast, he ain’t coming back.

The first video for the Rockstar North game didn’t show a date or platforms.

25 million sales estimated for GTA V, says analyst

gtaivart

Non-stop GTA V, it seems. Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia has put an estimated number on the game’s sales, predicting as much as 25 million copies moved for the Rockstar title. That would put it on par with sales of Black Ops and 3 million more than GTA IV. The prediction is near that of Wedbush’s Michael Pachter back in the summer, who said GTA V would sell 24 million copies.

Bhatia added that an announcement of a release date in next week’s trailer would be “positive for the shares.” Take Two shares were up last night following the initial announcement.

Thanks, Gamasutra.

20110621gtav

Another day, another GTA V spotting or rumor hits, and then is debunked or removed, respectively from the net. Today’s latest comes from a Gamestation listing of pre-orders and release dates spotted by Gamerzines, which was subsequently pulled and replaced with another list with nary a mention of GTA V. Rockstar has yet to confirm the game exists, and retailers have been known to list placeholders in the past for both confirmed and rumored games. Thanks, GameFront.
