GTA V Coming Spring 2013source: IGN.com We finally have a timetable for Rockstar's next big gameOCTOBER 27, 2012A leaked image of a European poster for Grand Theft Auto V indicates the latest in Rockstar's blockbuster saga will be released in Spring 2013. That news, via fan forum GTA-Five, is hardly unexpected, but this is the first time we've had reasonable confirmation of any sort of release window for the game. There is no indication if this timetable applies to a global release, or if Rockstar intends to stagger its release dates. Grand Theft Auto IV had a simultaneous release in Australia, Europe and North America, with Japan receiving the game some 6 months later. It's also worth pointing out that the only system/publisher logos on the poster are for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It appears as though - for now - there are no plans for Wii U. More GTA V news is set to arrive in November.

ROCKSTARGAMES.com Dear all, Today, we have an official release date to share with you: Grand Theft Auto V will arrive in stores on September 17, 2013. We know this is about four months later than originally planned and we know that this short delay will come as a disappointment to many of you, but, trust us, it will be worth the extra time. GTAV is a massively ambitious and complex game and it simply needs a little more polish to be of the standard we and, more importantly, you require. To all Grand Theft Auto fans, please accept our apologies for the delay, and our promise that the entire team here is working very hard to make the game all it can be. We are doing all we can to help ensure it will meet if not exceed your expectations come September – we thank you for your support and patience. Yours, The GTA Team
__________ I hope it doesn't gets delayed again.

Grand Theft Auto Online Gameplay Revealed This Week Source: GameInformer.com If you've been wondering how Rockstar will evolve online play for Grand Theft Auto V, your curiosity will be satisfied shortly. On Thursday, August 15, expect a new video on the connected modes the title will offer. Grand Theft Auto IV offered 15 different types of online play, including competitive Deathmatch, objective-based team modes, competitive carjacking, and a number of co-operative choices. Whether Grand Theft Auto V will improve the formula or take the safe path is something we'll learn on Thursday. Our Take Grand Theft Auto IV's multiplayer modes got a lot of buzz prior to launch, but I don't recall anyone raving about them once the game hit retail. There's room for great open-world multiplayer modes (just look at Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption), and it will be interesting to see what Rockstar has learned since GTA IV's release in 2008.

as a huge fan since the start of the series in 1997 i really want wait until gta 5, i've owned them all and i get more and more excited about each addition to the series.
i've juggled my preorder around so much too, first i preordered the special edition for 360, then changed it to ps3, then recently cancelled and preordered the regular version off the psn store so i could get a digital copy

The map of the game has leaked (right-click to view in full size): Here's a comparison with the map of its ancester, San Andreas: Also, a comparison with the map of its predecessor, GTA IV: As you, it's tree times bigger than Sandreas and five times bigger than GTA IV. On the GTA forums they've made a replica with more information on landmarks and such: http://gtaforums.com/topic/491242-mapping-los-santos-buildinglandmark-analysis/

I love how the game creators get their inspiration from movies. I can't help but notice the similarities in the trailers between the game and Heat. gta 4 also has a bank job styled similar to heat, don't overthink it lol

This game is good, but all the hype about its size scope and length was unjustified. It is really not much longer than 4, and nowhere near the size of san andreas. The playable areas (cities, states etc) do not get close to San Andreas. The game is solid, but there are some issues with it. Such as the fact that it takes one punch to kill somebody now. They spent so much time on the minutia they forgot about the basic stuff. There are also several dropped story lines. I cant tell if they ran out of time in its creation or were plain sloppy.

I cant tell if they ran out of time in its creation or were plain sloppy. is that a joke? the map is massive compared to san andreas, the city is huge but the buildings are properly scaled and take up much more space and the roads are much wider, san andreas was tiny in comparison but the buildings etc were compressed as hell to fit more in. 5 is 50sq miles compared to san andreas which was 17 or something, there's no debate that 5 is much larger also with the punches i don't think they're dead as much as they're just KTFO. not everyone is out for the count after 1 punch either, especially if they saw it coming and it wasn't a sucker punch.

Seriously, I have played half the game, and I have major reservations now about all the hype it received. The characters, despite a few interesting lines here and there, are basically the same and boring all game: Mike whining about his shitty life, Trevor a lunatic sociopath, Franklin reciting the line "come on dawg" about ten thousand times.
And really besides the graphics, its a basic scripted linear game ala Call of Duty with some marginally boring side missions and traffic movements. The choices on the heists make zero difference. That isn't to say there are some really cool scripted missions.
I got another question. Why does Trevor, supposed criminal mastermind with connections in OC, act like Mike returning from the dead as a fucking rat is A-OK with him (after getting his buddy wasted and ruining his life) and then proceeds to help the FIB? Really?

Should probably ask Mr. Kierney. I guess if you're Italian, you should be in prison. I've read the RICO Act, and I can tell you it's more appropriate... for some of those guys over in Washington than it is for me or any of my fellas here

It was clear from day one, moment one, that mike was a rat and admitted as such. Trevor accepts this at face value- just wanting to help the FIB along with pull heists with his best friend. Franklin does similar despite being a G from the hood. It's among the most bizarre and nonsensical story lines I have ever seen. Maybe in the GTA universe ratting doesn't make a difference.

Franklin is trying to get out of the whole gang lifestyle, so him working with the feds doesn't suprise me, because if one thing is very clear in the GTA universe, in all of them, is that money makes the world go round, and, being able to boost millions upon millions and getting away with it simply because the feds need you to clean up their dirty work, doesn't sound too bad to me.

People need to hop off of Rock Star. This game is not that good. You say that and then offer no explanation as to why you think it isn't that good. If you have an opinion of something, please, elaborate. I, on the other hand, thought the game was terrific (and no, I'm not a Rockstar fanboy). I think the multiple main characters created a fresh new feel to the game, and effectively eliminated the disconnect I felt from previous iterations (i.e. when GTA IV's Niko Bellic would lament about wanting to leave the criminal life, and yet he would take assassination jobs over a payphone from a guy he didn't even know). I found myself playing the game differently with each of the three characters. Trevor is a psychopath, and I played him accordingly. Franklin was more of a thug trying to leave the streets he was raised in, and so it wasn't uncommon for me to help an innocent bystander who was being robbed, and return their money to them. I played Michael somewhat middle of the road. I was able to connect with these characters more than previous characters in the series, because they each had a distinct personality, and it made me make decisions with their characters that I felt they themselves would make. The vibrant, colorful setting of Los Santos is also infinitely more interesting than the gray cityscape of Liberty City. Rockstar nailed the culture (or lack thereof) of Los Angeles and Hollywood, and kicked it up quite a few notches. Los Santos is a caricature of Los Angeles, but it is closer to the real thing than one might think. Los Santos is also the biggest world that Rockstar North has created to date, and while it may seem smaller than San Andreas from the GTA of the same name, the land mass is exponentially bigger, and by Rockstar focusing on one city (and surrounding countryside) instead of three, the city feels much more alive and vibrant. This is Los Angeles fully realized in video game form, and it is awesome. I like that they brought back car customization and purchasable properties, as well. Also, you can purchase vehicles through the in-game "web browser", and even buy and sell stocks in the game's stock market (instead of NASDAQ, it's BAWSAQ). There are some missions early on in the game where Franklin is tasked with taking out certain business entrepreneurs, and at the beginning of each mission, Lester drops a stock tip as to what stocks to buy once this man has been killed. Pay special attention to those tips, because you can make a lot of money! I haven't tinkered with the online game yet, but I'm sure it's pretty sweet. As for knocks against the game, I noticed a few glitches throughout my play through, such as NPCs getting stuck in strange places. For instance, I walked into Michael's house once and his wife was standing on the kitchen table. There are also some frame-rate issues and some texture pop-in, but nothing game breaking. There are going to be people out there that will hate this game before they even play it. It's the same with Call of Duty. People hate it for it's mainstream success, and will point out the smallest flaw and blow it up into the biggest, game-breaking bug in the history of mankind, and call for the immediate demise of the people who develop these games. My advice: just play it. If you like it, great! If you don't, great! Personally, I loved it!

GTAIV was much better IMO, it's still my favourite video game.
I loved Liberty City in GTAIV because it was more gritty and felt more like real criminal environment. Organized crime was well researched, you had the 5 families plus a family based on DeCavalcante and other ethnic gangs/OC. Bohan (Bronx) was a cool ghetto, Hove Beach (Brighton Beach) felt like propper lower middle class crime infested immigrant neighbourhood and Alderney (New Jersey) had that Sopranos vibe. GTA V just feels like you're on a holiday compared to that.
I also like Niko as the character more and could relate to him because I'm Slavic and non-American. But he's not only cool because of that, he's a badass criminal, served in the army and is a hired hitman. His story and character felt real, plenty of Serbs became ruthless criminals after the war, many of them went abroad. The story in general was much better in IV. V characters don't really convince me, Trevor is over the top.
I feel that GTAV moved too much away from the criminal theme.
