Grand Theft Auto 5 announced by Rockstar
by Alice O'Connor, Oct 25, 2011 5:40am PDTGrand Theft Auto V is being made, and a trailer will be released on November 2. That's all that maker Rockstar is willing to announce of the new core entry in its open-world murder simulator series at this point, but with a name bearing such clout, it's certainly enough for now.
Rockstar made the announcement by replacing the main page of its website with a huge GTAV logo. Deprived of our precious press releases, we can't tell you platforms, a release window, game details, or anything beyond what's on that page. However, Rockstar's recent pattern has been to release games on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 first, followed by PC a while later.
Careful analysis of the announcement image suggests that acquiring currency may be a gameplay element in GTAV. One important question is, just how 'grim' and 'gritty' will GTAV be?
Grand Theft Auto IV took the often-whimsical series in a po-faced direction, though the woe was reigned in somewhat with the two Episodes From Liberty City add-ons. Rival murder sim series Saints Row picked up the silly slack, and is certainly amping up the wackiness with Saints Row: The Third.
Voice casting calls rumoured earlier this year to be for GTAV included parts for a "FPS playing gamer son," "somewhat incompetent Chinese mobster," and "weed evangelist." Of course, do take that all with a pinch of salt.
Enough of our speculation, what would you like to see in the new Grand Theft Auto?
Kinect for Xbox One coming to PC
Xbox One does not provide any built-in DVR capabilities
Xbox One increases friends lists to 1,000
Xbox One achievements dynamic, not limited to single games
