4pm GMT afaik.

 

[Slayer-33]

3 time lines in the same city would be great

80s/90s/00s

/dream.

That would be evolutionary for the series, character progression and missions based on years of in game change.

 

[Tesseract]

female protagonist or bust. don't disappoint me, rockstar.

off to school.

 

[anddo0]

Any word on the length of the trailer?

I'm hoping it's at least 2mins and shows a bit gameplay... Though that may be asking for too much.

 

[Tr4nce]

For all the people asking 'how long???':

Just visit rockstargames.com. There's a countdown timer there.

 

[Calm Killer]

5 you say? Guess I need to dig out GTA4 from my game collection and actually beat it. SO MUCH TO DO. SO LITTLE TIME!

I would be to distracted looking at that great ass to enjoy the game.

And i am not kidding.

Weren't the past 'first trailers' around 55 seconds? You should expect the same here.

I really hope this game will include more rural areas, like SA did, and make things more interactive. I loved 4 at release but going back to it the controls are total jank and the city itself feels kind of empty. I'm also not from NY so I didn't fully appreciate the realism of everything

It's really not that close to New York. Some areas are good, like Star Junction and parts of Middle Park, but it's sort of New York through what the rest of the world thinks it's like. It being just a fraction of the size of the real New York forced them to play fairly loose.

But I think Liberty City is absolutely beautiful and well designed. It's really fun to explore, lots of stuff to do that I find fun, especially when you include what the Episodes brought to it. I think all the major problems with the game were fixed in the episodes (the checkpoint system was a frustration saver) and RDR (improved shooting and cover system mechanics). Although I'm currently playing IV on the PC and liking it more than I did on the XBox. Switching between a controller and the mouse really helps the shooting system.

 

[JAVK]

Both the numbered GTA's (III and IV) have been set in "modern times". I think V wont be any different. The money and the lettering of the "V" remind me of San Andreas. So like the majority of the people on here, I think it will be set in SA in the 'present' period.

As for the main character; a female would be a controversial change knowing GTA's audience, but I would be up for it. I do think however you will play as a minority

Spoiler

or maybe Claude

.

 

[UnluckyKate]

GTA V Five. So it is San Andreas plus two new cities ?

Wish list incoming : San Diego ? Sacramento ?

 

[Gustav]

The hype is killing me. GTA IV may be my favorite game of the generation. I want a NEW GTA dammit.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Colombian hooker who gets revenge on her pimp and ends up being most feared cartel boss. Awesome. Make it happen! And dat columbian booty....

Why can't I see a timer?

 

[Gustav]

Why can't I see a timer?

maybe your missing a plug in? It's in the big central window.

 

[Superimposer]

Time to rear my ugly head in this thread.

London would be unbelievable. Especially considering we never got a Getaway this gen. I would love a London done well.

Obviously since this isn't that realistic, my best realistic option would be San Andreas again.

 

[strafer]

No matter what it will get mad hype and top reviews everywhere.

 

[Gareth Bale]

I don't remember any trailer than I've ever been excited about matching my expectations. Fingers crossed for a PC version at launch.

 

[Tomodachi]

I can't take this...

Four hours left!

 

[Kentpaul]

3 hours till i start work

 

[Red UFO]

Hoping for a female protagonist in L.A.

Would be interesting to see a female character in, what has been, a very male centric game (killing prostitutes, etc.)

Yeah, I don't see Rockstar as that kind of risk taker, but it would be cool.

 

[dose]

At least I won't be alone.

You'll both be in the same cubicle?

Fingers crossed for a decent trailer that shows off ingame footage.

 

[Red UFO]

Yeah, I don't see Rockstar as that kind of risk taker, but it would be cool.

What? Rockstar are the epitome of "don't give a shit, we'll make it how we want."

Because they are R*s!

Or you could just say 12pm EST

 

[Midou]

We'll see, that is why I said "that kind", as opposed to "a risk taker" in general. Considering the hugely mainstream appeal of GTA, I could see some casual bros with a "ugh wtf, a girl, i'm not playing that shit" sort of reactions.

The difference between saying "fuck you" to the media and "fuck you" to a potential part of the audience.

 

[red731]

Or you could just say 12pm EST

Or 5pm CET

 

[spanks]

man this trailer is gonna be so adult.

Perhaps even adulter than ever before!

3 time lines in the same city would be great

80s/90s/00s

/dream.

I don't think that's too crazy. I mean, they wouldn't have to change the geography or buildings much (besides maybe one or two construction-to-completion buildings to help sell the passage of time). The main work would be the pedestrian models and some cars, which doesn't seem like that much work at all. Definitely easier than making 3 different cities at once. It's a cool idea, no doubt.

 

[nel e nel]

Or 5pm CET

THIS IS AMURRICA DAMMIT!

 

[SeanR1221]

I think the trailer will tell us nothing because Rockstar loves to trollololololol us.

 

[Dabanton]

If anyone could get away with it it's R*. Although some of their 'fans' are knuckle heads. See the disgusting racist reaction to CJ and the outrage when they revealed Niko and some idiots said they would not play the game ever as he was 'muslim'.

They all fall into line though.

 

[MatthewB92]

Well this will be fun.
I want a Wii U version but I would love to see the reaction to a no Wii U version. Hmmmmm.

 

[red731]

THIS IS AMURRICA DAMMIT!

YUROP!!! *shakes fist

 

[DarkChild]

3 35 35 ... OMG OMG OMG HYPEEEEEE!!!!

 

[spanks]

YUROP!!! *shakes fist

STRAYA MATE!
Wait, what's happening?
OI OI OI

 

[UrbanRats]

Prediction template everyone! Winner wins nothing!

Setting: San Andreas
Time Period: Modern Day
Main Character Gender: Male
Main Character Race: Mexican

Spoiler

or it might be Niko again?

Setting: Berlin (but with a mock up name)
Time Period: '70s
Main Character Gender: two characters, both sexes.
Main Character Race: US Male, Russian Woman.

It would also be cool to have a Transgender protagonist though, as nobody ever did that and from some minority that never gets considered, i don't know, SouthEast Asia for example.

 

[Igo]

Hoping for a female protagonist in L.A.

Would be interesting to see a female character in, what has been, a very male centric game (killing prostitutes, etc.)

Are there even any female gangster stereotypes that R* can write around? Then again, the dude from GTAIII wasn't too much of a cliche, and I really did love that psychopath.

 

[Winnie the Pimp]

3 35 35 ... OMG OMG OMG HYPEEEEEE!!!!

more like 3 33 33 now!!!!

 

[Meadows]

Setting: Berlin (but with a mock up name)
Time Period: '70s
Main Character Gender: two characters, both sexes.
Main Character Race: US Male, Russian Woman.

Sounds like you should be in the Agent thread.

 

[Mechanical Snowman]

If I had any plans today I'd have called them off, just for this. I just hope it's a modern day setting.

 

[red731]

more like 3 33 33 now!!!!

And in 9 days the date will be 11/11/11 HOLY SHIT!

Spoiler

got carried away

 

[iNvid02]

come the fuck on

 

[Mechanical Snowman]

come the fuck on

When are you gonna change your avatar to the new logo?

 

[Winnie the Pimp]

come the fuck on

really liking that Volition V

 

[Falcs]

I think it would be awesome if it was based on like 3 or 4 different cities around the world. And the story takes you traveling between them. Like Tokyo, Paris, London, and Vegas. And then of course you can drive to the airport and fly to each city whenever you want. That'd be sweet as!
Hopefully by the time GTA10 comes out on the PS7/XBOX 1240 or whatever you can explore the whole world!!!

...in my dreams.

They should make it a native american woman, see how many racists and sexists you can get all at once.
