gta 5 waverunner

Grand Theft Auto 5 artwork has popped up on Shortlist, which is giving away a “very special” GTA 5 collector’s item. The item in question is “a set of five photo viewers, each sporting the logo of in-game brand Fly US and containing a different brand new, never-before-seen screenshot from GTA 5.” Have a look at the shot below, and we’re betting that man is anything but a lifeguard. Game’s out in spring 2013. Thanks, Gematsu.

GTA does not need to be an “annual franchise”

gtaiv20

Grand Theft Auto titles do not need to be annualized said Take-Two during its Q4 fiscal call to investors.

According to Take-Two, GTA is a strong enough franchise that it does not need a new release annually, especially with the completion of the GTA IV story through DLC proving to remain profitable.

Guess GTA V will be landing sometime in 2011, then.

The call is ongoing, we’re listening, and will update you if anything interesting happens.

Rumor: Rockstar teases possible location of next GTA game

rockstar tease

Tucked away on page 13 of the manual for GTA IV: Episodes from Liberty City, owners will find a fake advertisement that possibly hints at the location of the next game in the series.

Who knows with the folks at Rockstar. They are your typical prom night tease.

At any rate, the advert says: Liberty City, It’s Over! Next Stop …. something Seagull. The corner of the advert is intentionally ripped with what looks like countryside.

Nice one there.

It does say “opens March everywhere” as well, so who knows what that mean – if anything – or if it even pertains to the same thing. Bah. We’re confused now, so we’ll stop.

Next GTA in “calendar 2010,” expects Pachter

gtaiv63

How long to wait for the next Grand Theft Auto? Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter reckons you’ve got about a year to go.

“While we still expect a GTA game in calendar 2010, it is not clear that the game will be released before the end of Take-Two’s fiscal year ending October 31,” Pachter said today as he downgraded his rating on Take-Two stock from “outperform” to “neutral”.

Piper Jaffray’s Anthony Gikas recently said that he expects the next in gaming’s ultimate franchise to arrive in “FY ’11,” or the 12 months beginning November 1, 2010.

Add the two together and you have GTA V releasing in the fourth calendar quarter of 2010.

Or not, obviously.
