Have they said that's the time it will release? I was thinking maybe midnight Rockstar North time, which would only be a few hours from now, since they are based in Scotland.

For nostalgia purposes, I've been looking back and reading the old thread on here from when the GTA IV trailer launched. Hilarious to see the manic meltdown when the R* site crashed and everyone was scrambling to d/l the trailer.

And as Yeef pointed out, the scramble for the GTA IV trailer download is what created the original Rickroll as someone made a link purporting to be the GTA IV trailer but was the now infamous video.

Afaik, everything goes through Rockstar New York in terms of decision making and button pushing. I'm sure they will go by New York time and not Scotland time in releasing the trailer. Just go look at GTAIV first trailer I recall it going up sometime after 1pm EST.

Decent info on Rockstar and their studios: (For those who don't know)

The big boys are situated in Scotland and have been from the start, fucking love Edinburgh. Go every few months to meet family there and get myself a deep fried mars bar and ice cream every time I go. :)

San Andreas remains the best game I've played but found GTA IV meh, will give them the benefit of the doubt though. A game set here in London would be pretty cool though I think.

To think in the next day we'll see a new GTA main character or maybe characters...

We've had a mute white American
Italian-American
African American
Eastern European Serb
Jewish-American
Dominican-American

I wonder whats next? A female maybe? That would be something special, a crime game built around a female would be ballsy as hell even for R*

Maybe that's why we have rumours of multiple characters would allow a little leeway in allowing them to explore that.

Has anyone thought of the significance of this being called GTA:V rather than GTA (insert location name) like VC and SA?
I figured GTA IV was IV because it was sort of the next gen follow up to the last visit to Liberty City which was in III.
Could that mean V will be closely connected to IV rather than say a jump to a different era etc?

Or maybe V is just a placeholder name and the real name will get revealed in the trailer....

No, its not placeholder name. The thing is, GTA IV had two pretty amazing( IMO best this gen ) DLC's, which were practically standalone stories and 20 hours of gameplay. GTA V will probably be similar.

God's had his chance.
One of the only things i really had to complain about in 4 right from the start was that it was so much smaller feeling than SA... and then so many conversations were had with my friends about how they could never properly do a San Andreas style game until the next gen came along ... so if the rumors are true... this is glorious to me. cannot freakin wait...

I must see this trailer. Please god ... i want my jets and country driving back ...

I'm gonna rage real hard if they give us a 5 second teaser of the back of a guys head walking or something stupid like that. I want gameplay and footage of the city. :(

You guys think it will have a Vita version too?
Click to expand...
It really depends on how quickly they can get larger cards out; Vita game cards are right now maxed out at 4GB, but the spec list mentioned that they can go all the way up to 32. I'd have to imagine that they're going to need an 8GB card at minimum.

Holy god, after 3 years, we are almost out of time to speculate.

My final call is:

Los Angeles and surrounding area, present day, Hispanic main character (a dude, natch.), a return to the countryside, airplanes and other wacky stuff, and a greater emphasis on money and the things you can do with it in the world.

So goddamn ready.

I can't remember now, but after that first SA trailer, did we not know about the 2 other cities? Rockstar could pull that again - just show us Los Santos and leave us to wonder if Vegas and San Fran are back.

Internet is going to asplode tomorrow.

Seeing those trailers makes me want to go back to Vice City for the first time in years. Can easily see myself replaying them all following the trailer tomorrow.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
I hope its set in Australia.
