GTA V - General Thread

It would be, but it's 25 million they'd have to sell though.
That's roughly 70,000 copies per day.

Opps left out a zero in my 2 second calculation, good catch. I bet they'll have 6 million in sales the first week alone, not sure if they will hit 25 million in one year though, that goal seems a tad more lofty now.

I know I'm very, very late on this (I haven't really been following GTA V lately), but I just saw that you can have facial hair! I can't wait to make Michael look like Robert De Niro's character from "Heat."

It was even present in GTA San Andreas, lol.

First disc out?

Only for Xbox 360? Nothing for PS3 yet?

Fake, it's been posted on gtaforums multiple times and called fake for various reasons. The person who made it admitted he photoshopped it and showed the original image.

What's the original image then? Can you show it here?

I've been looking for it but I can't find it, it's exactly the same as the one above but all the covers are different.

EDIT: Here it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHgwFY-aXdg

EDIT: The video shows a slightly different fake but I'm sure that the one Slash showed was called fake aswell.

Looks like the official map taken from the strategy guide, I won't spoil it for people so if you want to look it's your choice. What makes me believe it's real is the attention to detail on the little things like the backstreets.

Nice find, looks pretty real to me. It's amazing how close the fan-made maps got to the real thing, assuming it is real.👍

It's strange how small the city looks on the map, but in the screenshots it looks like there are many more roads. I don't think the map does the size of the in-game world any justice.

But all of these are fake, as the title says. So I didn't watch it yet.

Was the pre-download option available to both 360 and PS3 users? Is it still running now or did they withdraw the download to stop people hacking in to it?

I think they withdrew it from the PS Store, but I'm not sure...

Expect more strategy guide related stuff to be leaked soon, here's an image showing some of the vehicles in the strategy guide.

This looks like a different version of the same map already posted here. it's a little less blurry though:

Thanks, this gives people an idea of scale to. It is huge.

This might even give a better idea of the scale:

Hard to tell if the GTA4 map is scaled too small or not.

 

[TJ13]

Either way just have to wait a week and we will all know.

I'm thinking the same... Though if it's really in the correct scale, V is, as I've said before, just huge .

I also just got a mail which said I should check whether or not my address was correct, for my order's shipment... Hopefully that means I'll get V on the 17th .

 

[DustDriver]

I'm going to pick up my copy after work next week. They have a midnight opening for the game, but I prefer to be well rested when I go to work.
+ I don't want to waste time by standing in a queue.

 

[Ryanswannell]

I've ordered via GAME online, so I will have a very painful wait for the postman to arrive on the 17th. Hopefully he doesn't take too long, I'll end up being tempted to watch gameplay on the internet

It might indeed be a tad scaled down if you compare the road sizes of both maps, but the gtav is still huge.

 

[Waheed]

Preordered it but I know I'm going to play it after 3-4 days from release

 

[ZohsixGT5]

I'm going to have so much fun with that rail network.

^ There's going to be a LOT of exploration to be done.

 

[Davidies]

There is a lot of highway! Yay!

 

[I Love GT6]

I'm really too excited now

I smell street racing Highway Battles in the supercars when GTA Online is unlocked
