GTA V build-up leading to official reveal now on the roll?

grandtheftautovbeachlogpl0Speculations of a GTA V have been roaring since late last year. It wasn't really taken seriously for lack of any substantial evidence -- until now, so it seems.


Reportedly, a site with the url rockstargames.com/v will begin downloading a file. While it does not indicate anything specific regarding any of the known (or suspected) iterations of the franchise, it does pique one's curiosity.


GTAIVlife posits that this could possibly be a build up for an announcement in March from Rockstar, based on a certain page 13.


What's even more interesting is that visiting the said site a while later no launches the download, but now only has the site stating that the "page is unavailable".


The "GTA V" mystery will only grow from hereon out, that's for sure, but we're gonna have to tread lightly on this one. We'll be keeping you updated if we hear any more about this.


In the meantime, do keep your eyes peeled out as well, and do tip us about it if you hear anything.

HAVE YOU LEARNED NOTHING
ITS NOT GTA V
sorry bout caps but i really had to stress that
it will be GTA 4: Blah Blah
GTA5 is ages away
look at ps1 and ps2
gta 1 was quick lived before the new engine of GTA2 was introduced
but out of 2 we had london and 19something (old time cars)
ps2 was released and GTA3 was released not long after.
however the next one wasnt GTA4, it was GTA3: Vice City and San Andreas
GTA4 will follow same path
same engine, different dynamics.
san andreas may i remind you was truely complete.

exactly.

It will a be spinoff with the same engine. Maybe they introduce planes and attribut points again. *wishing*

I have no idea which city they want to use this time, though.

Maybe Chicago? Moskow? heck, even Berlin, my hometown, maybe?

Come to think of it. Berlin 1989/1990 would be cool somehow! I can already imagine missions where you destroy the Berlin wall.....

Indeed @ SilverTiger
I think it'd be pretty cool if they included some of the RPG-like features from San Andreas, but flesh them out a little more.

:P Maybe we could get some missions fighting new world nazi's too? Honestly, that's ridiculous because it shows a biased view and rockstar has gotten into boiling water too many times. They aren't going to take the game outside of the states, and they definately aren't going to put historical accounts int there either. It's all fictional meant to portray real world things. It would have to be like the Beerland Wall or something...that's more their style.

NAAAAH!you are wrong ,its not that it was GTA3 and then GTA3:vice City and San Andreas...GTA3,VC and SA are tree separate games...and for the GTA IV we had "2 new games" - DLC's - "Episodes from Liberty City" and they are like the expansions on GTA2 that you mentioned sooooo...its not impossible for the next GTA to be V ,also : ITS ROCKSTAR GAMES!Sheeeesh they can make whatever they want,how many times have they fooled around with us :D

They were addons for GTA1 actually, there was nothing between GTA2 and GTA3.

ok corrected
but still
i stand by my word
GTA4 engine will be used
it will not be GTA5
why waste a perfectly good engine.
niko cant even swim for phuck sake.
so why wouldnt it be like 3
GTA3 = limited
GTA3 VC = less limited
GTA3 SA = totally free, true freedom

GTA4 = limited
GTA4 next = less limited
GTA4 next again = total freedom

no they wont waste the engine because it is their engine

r.a.g.e engine, they made it to use for all their games. even that old table tennis game on the 360 uses the same engine as gtaiv

So because that happened with the gta III games you think it must happen this time?
the game engine thing doesn't count because this is their engine this time

not that Im saying it wont be a subtile game but short of them using liberty city again there is no real set patten in the way they are doing it.. yet
but,

gta 1, london expan, gta 2 - ps1
gta3, vc , sa - ps2
gtaiv, dlc, ?? ps3

...there is another patten forming there which leads me to see Gta V possible (if we have to go by release pattens)

in any case it has to be another city, preferably elsewhere in the world.
its getting boring

The Euphoria engine is not theirs. Madden 2010 runs on that engine for crying out loud.

It doent run on Euphoria, thats a physics/animation engine for the "rag doll" effect i.e when you hit peds with a car. it also uses havok for other physics effects

lol runs on Euphoria engine you can even turn Euphoria animations off on the pc.

it runs on the rage (rockstar advanced gaming engine) engine like all their games since table tennis.

You really think they gonna spend at least another $100 million on a whole new game and engine when they can easily adapt the GTAIV engine with new features and new cities? people can get picky and say it's not really a new game without a new engine but it really isn't needed yet.

You really think it costs $100 million to make a brand new engine? WTH kinda drugs are you on... $100 million would be the cost of an entirely new game engine + content.

I'm on the kind of drugs that tells me GTAIV cost $100million to make and like you obviously failed to read in my last post there's no point making a whole new engine, but if they did a new one the game would cost $100m+ but the GTAIV engine still has plenty life in it.

Maybe they'll actually include all of their cities. Like, you could travel from Liberty City to Vice City to San Andreas etc etc. That would be awesome I think. :D

Now we must wait for Episodes o Liberty City but in the future he comes GTA V but quietly not more enough.
But now first think on first then the future and why Rockstar Games just easy make a Gold Edition with Vice City and Liberty City Stories that two games missed on PC it´s just 2 little games for the people need just all and in the future 2012 GTA V Final :lol:.

why else put a 5. rockstargames.com/v

Vice city/san andreas would be considered DLC on todays gen. We've aleady had that, being lost and damned and gay tony.

So there's no reason to make oh let's say GTAIV: Chicago/Australia/The Moon for freakin sake!

This URL will refer to a GTA V.

GTA IV is on a slowly dying ship. Makes sence to continue on.

# those DLCAces In The Palm 2010-02-28 01:28
where in the SAME CITY.
they were not different sceneries

gta3 san andreas is the best GTA to date.
they should make a gta4 vice city and a san andreas
and to the guy who said following the same path of GTA3 would be boring
GTA4 IS SET IN LIBERTY CITY, is it boring?
GTA4: vice city could be completely different city than GTA3's one

# Not trusting Rockstar againNeuromancer 2010-02-27 07:28
I think I'll wait until GTA 5 is released this time. Got burned when I pre-ordered the PC version of GTAIV.

"No, no, it may really, really, seem like a bad port. But it's really just future proof!"

Saying "Someday there will be computers fast enough to make even this crashing, unfinished, un-optimized piece of crap fun!" doesn't suddenly make a bad port worthy of $50. Not close.
