GTA V - General Thread

[prisonermonkeys]

Oh, they'll probably have a radio presence. Many of the plot elements do - like when Big Smoke was delivering his anti-drug messages in SAN ANDREAS, despite being one of the state's biggest dealers. It's Rockstar's way of tying the elements of the narrative into the world of the game. Instead of just having Epsilon pop up when and where the story calls for it, the player is exposed to them outside the narrative function of the Epsilon Program.

4.30... means April 30th, right? At first, when I read the comments, I thought the game would be released on the 30th, but I get that it's new trailers .

 

[Jay]

Heh, yeah April 30th.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

Not one, but three trailers?

I'm expecting the internet to break.

 

[Dean]

It will... it absolutely will. Well, at least at Rockstar ! - I wonder what they'll reveal. I, personally, hope for some new areas of the map, some more vehicles and weapons.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

I'm guessing it's going to be more character stuff than anything else. They've never really dedicated trailers to the map, vehicles or weapons.

Whatever they show, you can rest assured that if you head over to gtaforums.com, you'll get some quality entertainment as people desperately try to explain away why everything they just saw in the trailers is proof that GTA V will be completely the opposite of what was shown, and that Michael is really CJ, Trevor is really Niko, and Franklin is really Tommy.

 

[Dean]

You're right, it will be about the characters. I mean, why would they post the names as a (sort of) title, if it weren't supposed to be about them?

And you know what? I'm heading to the GTAForums to see the entertainment you're talking about .

Also

Rockstar has just announced not just one, but three new trailers for next Tuesday, April 30th. They're titled "Michael." "Franklin." and of course, "Trevor." So it's most likely we'll be getting a trailer focusing on each of the playable characters.

It wouldn't make sense, if that'll be incorrect.

Cool,hopefully gameplay trailers.
I'm guessing they'll showcase the different activities we can do that are unique to those characters.
I never realized the epsilon thing is a scientology parody.

 

[Slash]

Awesome. I don't want any gameplay though, that ruins it for me.

 

[VYPA-SQUAD_Ace]

Tuesday should be a good and entertaining day. Time to find those GTA fansites and have them ready to view, because those places are gonna blow the F up!..

Wait, I bet they already are..

 

[Slash]

The internet is going to blow the eff up.

 

[magic_town]

GTAF is a nightmare, but it can be good for entertainment
R* don't usually show gameplay do they? I'm hoping they don't, I just want to discover it myself

 

[Slash]

Not usually I don't think. I didn't really pay much attention when IV came out though.

 

[VYPA-SQUAD_Ace]

I think they just used cutscenes from missions. I'm not sure though.

 

[Eks]

Can't wait to see the over-analyzation videos/threads.

 

[VYPA-SQUAD_Ace]

Can't wait to see the over-analyzation videos/threads.

That's how I get my entertainment.. but some of those threads do be making you wonder..

 

[Slash]

True. It's all speculation but in good fun.

 

[Spacegoat]

Oh goodie. But I'm not expecting the trailers to reveal anything significant.

Not one, but three trailers?

I'm expecting the internet to break.

R* don't usually show gameplay do they?

They did for Red Dead Redemption.

 

[Slash]

If it does, please someone let us know because I defintiely do not want to watch them if they do.

 

[VYPA-SQUAD_Ace]

I'll try. Did the post say when the videos will be released?

 

[Slash]

4/30/13

 

[VYPA-SQUAD_Ace]

4/30/13

Oops, I meant like a specific time.

Edit.. looks like Rockstar is making a GTA V live action commercial..

 

[Slash]

Don't know as of yet. Somewhere around 11-12 Eastern time would be my guess, that's when they usually release stuff anyways.

Yeah I saw that about a week ago.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

A live-action trailer may be on the way:

Although there's no confirmation that this is for GTA V, and if it is, there's no word on whether it will be the format of one or all of the three character trailers, or if it will be entirely separate.

Sorry if it's been asked, but does anyone know a general release date for GT5? It was supposed to be this Spring but Rockstar is pulling a Polyphony Digital I think.

 

[poolhaas]

Sorry if it's been asked, but does anyone know a general release date for GT5? It was supposed to be this Spring but Rockstar is pulling a Polyphony Digital I think.

GT5 has been out for a while now

It has been pushed back (September I tought it was)

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Stupid me, I typed GT5 but I meant GTA5, my bad.

 

[Jay]

GTA5's official release date is September 17th.

 

[magic_town]

September 17

Edit: sorry didn't see that post right above me
