Wow. I like gta as much as the next guy but....it seems like EVERYONE is taking this way too seriously.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 01:19 PM
I'm crying. Happy, happy, happy manly tears!Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 01:21 PM
Was waiting for IGN rewind, but you guys nailed it first!Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 01:21 PM
Freaking Sweet cant wait.... seriously and and dont say that often. Need a release date now!!!Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 01:21 PM
I second the "Jets. Are. Back. Hells. Yes!" comment!!Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 01:22 PM
Looks amazing.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 01:23 PM
san andreas baby!Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 01:23 PM
Is. . .is that a blimp too? Can we blow up blimps?Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 01:24 PM
I want MORE!!!Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 01:25 PM
@ #1 - You obviously don't like GTA as much as the next person then if you put it that way...Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 01:25 PM
While he may or may not be the main character, that image at :40 could still be Vercetti. It's been over 20 years if the game is set in the modern day and he looks ripe for the part. Maybe we'll be taking our orders from him and overthrowing him at a point. Time will tell. I thought I'd lost interest in this series. A game-play trailer will knock that notion around.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 01:27 PM
I hope to see bigfoot in that forrest area, lol...Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 01:28 PM
I absolutely love it!Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 01:30 PM
yeah this game wont be out for a long time so who really cares about a trailerWednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 01:31 PM
I'm guessing these might be PC graphics? If it's possible for that level of resolution and detail on the 360, that'd be amazing! Can't wait!! :)Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 01:33 PM
BUG-R-US Made me chuckle.Love GTA humorWednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 01:33 PM
I think the most interesting thing about the license plates is that "San Andreas" (or whatever that says) is not the ONLY thing on the plates. GTA IV's plates were just a bit silly, what with all of them saying "LIBERTY CITY" on them. Of all the detail and awesome things they did in that game, the awful plates can't help but stand out like a sore thumb. Really glad they fixed that.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 01:36 PM
Might have to go back & play San Andreas againWednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 01:36 PM
1:06 in the trailer and the 3rd last screenshot has got to be CarlJohnson being chased off of SamJacks cop and the other 2 from SAndreasWednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 01:38 PM
@ 18 - Guess they're your type then? Go somewhere else please.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 01:38 PM
Good article. You guys definitely saw more than I did. Next year is going to be another good 1 for Rockstar!Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 01:40 PM
win forever, jets. thats all i care about from this trailer.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 01:40 PM
I want four horseman dlc for GTA V. How fun would it be to ride a flaming horse with a rocket launcher being chased by police.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 01:45 PM
whens it due out?Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 01:45 PM
It looks amazing but I'm also a bit disappointed not to see Miami eerr.. Vice City back on the track. For me, VC still is THE best GTA.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 01:47 PM
Can't wait to get this game for the future, I mean great Single Player and great Free Mode experience with friends. Just awesome.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 01:54 PM
I know Vice City was many peoples favourite old GTA game but mine was San Andreas. So if this is a remake of sorts of San Andreas, im a very happy man.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 01:57 PM
In the trailer doesn't the lead character mention having more then one kid? San Andreas FTWWednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 02:00 PM
Much better breakdown of the trailer than CVG, their coverage was laughable.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 02:04 PM
Not sure if anyone's mentioned this yet but it appears trucks with tractor-trailers are back after being missing from GTA IV. I sure hope they are anyway as epic chaos can result from them with the IV physics engine.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 02:08 PM
Their were JETS in GTA IV aswell but i can't remember flying them.. oh wait!Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 02:09 PM
This game is gonna be huge...the wind turbines are inland on I-10 near the palm desert. Crop dusting way north in the valley ...mountains look sierra nevada ish.....wowWednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 02:09 PM
Please include San Fiero and I would love to see Rockstar's take on Oakland, my hometown!Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 02:13 PM
Is the 'house number on the curb' possibly a sly release date? [2405] 24th May (2012?)...I think LA Noire was released around the end of May 2011 wasn't it?Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 02:16 PM
Is it me, or is the heist (with the bugstars) in Rodeo Drive? Looks nice!Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 02:17 PM
I really hope they include a variety of aircraft like they did in San Andreas. That was really my only beef with GTA IV is that there was just that one helicopter and no planes.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 02:21 PM
Tits... literally and figuratively. I've gotta go on record and say I hope to HELL this isn't like San Andreas. Hated that game. Actually made me not care about GTA4, but I got it anyway, and loved it (GTA4 that is). Teaser trailers are just that, and I have been teased. I'd bank on November 2012 and not their usual April release... hope I'm wrong tho.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 02:22 PM
I am not sure why there is any speculation about it being set in the 60's. It looks pretty obvious that isn't the case. The cars, clothes, etc. You even state in the article that the rest of the trailer proves that wrong so why speculate in the first place?Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 02:23 PM
#35 - I like your thinking. Probably too soon though?Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 02:24 PM
#35 and GTA:IV was released 28-04, similar release period, so you could be rightWednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 02:29 PM
Now lets hope they dont keep pushing back the release date lolWednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 02:30 PM
@12, I was thinking the same! I hope they finally put the myth in this remade version.. Can't tell you how many hours I probably spent in San Andreas for PS2 looking for it back in the conspiracy days hahaha. I love GTA hype. Every single GTA game that has come out I have impatiently waited. This trailer is no let down, I'm guessing/hoping for an early '12 release!Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 02:32 PM
I think the earlier rumors about multiple playable characters could be true. I assume Vercetti(?) will be one of them and the guy running from the police at the end could be another. Either way I'm very excited for this game.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 02:34 PM
This looks so incredibly detailed.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 02:37 PM
this is sooooo good.... HOOKERS ARE BACK!!! *jizzed in my pantsWednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 02:38 PM
Just checked what day 24/05/2012 will be, it's a Thursday. I am seriously excited about finding out more.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 02:39 PM
Its not Tommy. The voice is that of Clifton Collins Jr.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 02:56 PM
Cant wait!Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 02:58 PM
@35 I'm not sure. I mean Max Pain is out just a few weeks before that, so I would expect they would want to give that the spot light for a bit. That said, this game probably hasn't been that hard for them to make, what with the location been used before, and it's probably running on a mix of the GTA IV and L.A Noire engines meaning that most of the work would have been on the story and the little details, so with that in mind it's perfectly possible that it'll be released then. Either way there is no doubt in my mind, we will see this game next year.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 03:01 PM
Can't WAITTTTTWednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 03:02 PM
well done 49 for fucking up the page....Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 03:10 PM
This is definitely not Tommy Vercetti. For one, the character is obviously not voiced by Ray Liotta and I think we can all agree that there's can be no Tommy without Ray.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 03:12 PM
Looks amazing so far!Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 03:15 PM
Looks amazing. So damn detailed. Love GTA games, ahh... This will be on my #1 game to buy when it comes out with a dateWednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 03:16 PM
@49 well done for ruining the threadWednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 03:33 PM
good job on the trailer analyse, guys.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 03:34 PM
The visuals and details look amazing. Looking forward to it. I just hope it'll be better than GTA4. That game was frankly annoying and somewhat disappointing.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 03:34 PM
What if it's CJ's dad? I may not remember the story that well, but did it ever say where he got to?Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 03:36 PM
Jets were in SR2 .... they are in SR3 & much more fun & stupid, they win on fun stupidity tbh anyday GTA has the best story but its going to be hard pressed to create a more customizable fucking about experience than SR3 read the post b4 you say GTA Rules -1 As well, GTA rules for its story but just doesnt measure up to SRWednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 03:43 PM
@ 60 Umn.. CJ is african american, and this guy is white. Doesn't match, sorryWednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 03:47 PM
here in holland there is an online store with a listing of GTAV with a release date of 26.04.2013..... Makes me wonder if they know more???Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 03:50 PM
Does anyone know when and where the funeral for Saint Row 3 will beWednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 03:57 PM
May 24th for 2012 is on Thursday, May 24th for 2013 is on Friday. So those dates aren't right, games comes out on TuesdaysWednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 03:57 PM
@62 - Doesn't say that any of the people in the trailer are the protagonist. Speculation may continue...Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 03:58 PM
Shit I got those mixed up. meant to say 26th** Still, those dates in both years doesn't fall on a TuesdayWednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 04:00 PM
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHH WADAFUCK?Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 04:01 PM
There's a rumor in OXM that this will be released next October, but it's just a rumor. Plus, Rockstar won't hesitate to delay it if they feel they need more time.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 04:01 PM
@65 - If you're referring to the comment by 63, he said 26th April, which is a Friday, which is also the day of release for many games in Europe.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 04:02 PM
@ 70 You didn't read my correction comment @67 did youWednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 04:03 PM
heres the page #63 was talking about http://www.bol.com/nl/p/games/grand-theft-auto-v/1004004011823290/index.htmlWednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 04:05 PM
You know what, everyone complains Oh GTA's better saints rows better. Screw it I'm getting both because there both good games.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 04:05 PM
As I said the release date 26.04.2013 was on a Dutch(as in European) site, and here Games come out on a Friday, for anyone who wants to see it with their own eyes heres the link: http://www.bol.com/nl/p/games/grand-theft-auto-v/1004004011823290/index.htmlWednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 04:16 PM
@63 Which store?Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 04:19 PM
@75 See posts #72 #74 its an online store.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 04:22 PM
Lol I would totally give that homeless guy money. Nice spot on the blimp, i really hope I can crash into. Also, sniping the hikers seems like a fun game.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 04:24 PM
@1 while you personnally may not be a great fan of GTA. evry single on of them has been ground breaking well since 3 anyway: GTA 3: was the first open world game Vice City: Was the first game to incorperate a money earning system San andreas: well it was san andreas GTA IV: was the first game to begin to utilise this gens consoles to their potential GTA V: only time will tell (still want my GTA HD remix though)Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 04:37 PM
@71 - Yeah, you still said 26th May...Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 04:38 PM
2012 Q4 release day i think October/November similar to the other games such as gta 3 and vice cityWednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 04:38 PM
fap fap fap!Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 05:21 PM
I'm guessing the mountain might be Mount Chilliad which was on the second island in San Andreas. Maybe there's still hope yet...Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 05:47 PM
more trailers!Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 05:47 PM
@ #35 I thought the same, and what no one seems to be mentioning is that there's a guy above the numbers hammering a sign into his lawn. The writing on the sign? FOR SALE. For Sale 24/05. Rockstar North are based in the UK so the date format matches up. The only problem I see is that Max Payne is out in March and I don't see RS sabotaging their own game. Maybe May 2013? Still, I'm hoping for next year!Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 05:49 PM
black guy getting chased by police down road with heli in air, looks so much like CJ from the original san andreasWednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 05:52 PM
Looks amazing. They are making it up so you can take a jet from vice city to San Andreas etc. So both cities will be included in the game. The set date for release as of today is 10/24/12. I am a manager of oxm so I get details on upcoming video games. Thanks xbox360achievements.org. -oxm employeeWednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 06:00 PM
@62 And? TWO white parents can conceivably have a black child, it's not exactly implausible for one white male to have one, especially when the woman he's having the child with is African American. If I remember correctly, a human has six alleles in total, 3 from each parent. The only way you could guarantee the child wouldn't be african american is if one of the parents had 'Albinism' and had 6 'white alleles.' The guy in the trailer? Sorry to burst your bubble, he doesn't have Albinism. But it's not CJ's dad... bringing him in to the story would be totally pointless.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 06:01 PM
So when do I preorder? :D Since I live in Los Angeles, this game will be even better because I should know most of the sights and places this game has to offer. I love GTAWednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 06:05 PM
@65, You do know that Skyrim comes out next Friday on the 11th?Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 06:18 PM
Isnt vinewood from san andreasWednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 07:14 PM
yessssssssssssssssssssssss. @91 yes, its the LA area.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 07:15 PM
First day buy... I love every GTA but its sad that I have to wait for GTA6 to play in vice city again (maybe)...Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 08:07 PM
cant wait this game is going to be sick !Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 08:13 PM
This trailer shows a recession state of San Andreas, more homeless people than gunfights, houses going up for sale, businesses closing, could we be seeing a story that has embedded itself into our reality.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 08:36 PM
any chance we might see CJ in grand theft auto 5? maybe as casino owner?Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 08:38 PM
Don't know if anyone said it yet, but the windmills are from palm springs which is in the middle of the desert (50+ miles away from L.A.). Maybe it will be as big as San Andreas.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 08:42 PM
idno iv seen much better trailers. This one gets 2 thumbs downWednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 08:44 PM
I'll put money down that this game comes out April 2013, five years after GTA IV released (April 2008) seems too perfect, and it's Rockstars MO to release during Q1-Q2. Lastly it seems like a perfect send-off for our current-gen systems until the next-gen systems are released either that year or in 2014. $1000 any takers.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 08:47 PM
@99 i believe your right i would want this to come out next year but chances are it will try to be released in 2012 and get delayed till 2013Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 09:04 PM
The guy knocking in the "For Sale" (good spot @ 35)sign then the address for the house on the curb 2405, could be release date hint it just seems bad business, if news comes in that Max Payne 3 moves release date forward to Jan or something like that then to me May would look a whole lot more plausible. Also as I would think it will be a worldwide rekease date I would not read to much as to what day it is. I UK our games come out on Firdays as the norm but we have had games come out on diff days here so the fact is it could be a Friday as GTA/Rockstar have a lot of UK ties. But all in all, we are all just very excited that the game looks so rock solid and yes "only a trailer" but it's the emotions that get us all court up in this, for many of us GTA changed gaming, GTA 3 change the way developers came at games, we got more story driven titles and proved that you could get a movie kind of experience from a game (I played that game to death and would still want to play it now), Vice City just pushed it all the more, bigger, better & louder while for many San Andreas just blow our minds. We never though a game world could be so big while pushing the PS2 & later the Xbox to the limit! GTA 4, "forget about it" it just showed us what the 360 could start to do, I love Saints Row but put Sanits Row 2 up with GTA 4 and you see the power GTA pushed with their tect. If you are a true gamer then there is room for both title's hell we need both with the time it takes to get these games out the door and into our hands. Rockstar thank you for GTA - we love it ?;^) P.S. Sorry guys did not think this would ture into a love letter. LoL!Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 09:10 PM
@#99 - alright, make sure you forward that one grand to my paypal account when you LOSE. All GTAs have released in October, except GTA IV. 2013 would be far too away. Rockstar would absolutely LOVE to make jokes about 2012! @1 GTFO! Non-GTA lover!Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 09:21 PM
Here's a couple of things I've noticed: - There's a sign for Please Point in the 2nd picture (people running). - The Logo of the Bgustars truck (seen better on the side) also confirms the location as Los Santos. - Another "blink and miss" moment at 0:51. There's a Up-N-Atom Burger truck sporting a quote "Once it pings, eat like kings." - You can clearly see a bike in the Tequi-La-La picture., but I guess it's not note-worthy seeing as bikes have been a staple in GTA since Vice City. Also hoping for the Free Roam and Multi-Player featured in Red Dead Redemption. That was the BEST!Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 09:27 PM
Gotta love all the speculation, but i think i'll wait until the game releases or Rockstar officially announe gameplay features before i get all excited to fly a plane only to release they won't be available in the final game.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 09:37 PM
To correct my own mistake, it's Pleasure Pier not Point.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 09:41 PM
If that is the protagonist; does anyone else think he looks a lot like John Noble (Fringe)?Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 10:05 PM
1 - You obviously don't like GTA as much as the next guy.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 10:11 PM
I haven't played GTA in forever, but this makes me want to buy this on day one, especially if it returns to San Andreas, since that was my favorite GTA.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 10:24 PM
I honestly couldn't get into GTA IV (unlike Red Dead, LA Noire). This looks very good.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 10:30 PM
._.Wednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 10:41 PM
I KEEP READING ON EVERY SITE ITS TOMMY VERCETTI IT IS NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IN AN INTERVIEW THEY ASKED RAY LIOTTA IF HE WOULD EVER RETURN TO THE CHARACTER "THEY CANT AFFORD ME" "THEY MADE SO MUCH OFF VICE CITY I DIDNT SEE A DIME OF ROYALTIEs" THEN IN AN INTERVIEW WITH DAN HOUSER OR SOME SHIT THEY QUOTED RAY LIOTTA AND DAN HOUSER SAID "WELL HIS CHARACTER JUST GOT KILLED OFF" SORRY GUYS VERCETTI IS DEAD KEEP DREAMING... DONT CARE IF U DONT BELEIVE ME TIME WILL PROVE THIS RIGHT-OR SOMEONE FIND THE CLIP IM NOT GOING TOOWednesday, November 02, 2011 @ 11:01 PM
you know normaly people hate on threads but this is the most people ive seen on a thread that arent hating and fighting complaining etc etc and so forthThursday, November 03, 2011 @ 01:30 AM
i swear the homeless guy looks like nikoThursday, November 03, 2011 @ 02:20 AM
@111 Alright! Calm the fuck down! It's not Tommy Vercetti, we get it. It's just a guy who looks like an older Tommy. This is the kind of game, the kind of trailer that People ENJOY prying apart, speculating and spreading rumours about. Don't forget that.Thursday, November 03, 2011 @ 02:51 AM
What I'd love to see is them not introduce the main character(s) until the last trailer before release and instead these trailers should feature the people you'll be getting missions fromThursday, November 03, 2011 @ 02:59 AM
@113 I don't think it is. GTA4s setting took place in 2008, GTA5 looks like a 2012 setting. If that's Niko, the last 4-5 years have been exceptionally hard on him.Thursday, November 03, 2011 @ 03:22 AM
Just to clear up the date confusion a mite, 2405 (24th May) is a Thursday in 2012, and there's no way they'd have a date pinned in that definitely for 2013, remember GTAIV got a big delay from the previous autumn. Retailers never have a clue on release dates, they just put something in to get pre-orders signed up rather than having an off-putting TBC against the game. You can look at the distance between the original trailers for GTAIV and its release dates, both missed and actual, 29 March 07 was the first trailer (further trailers 28 June, 6 December, 27 March 08), original release date was going to be 16 Oct 07, then actual was 28 April 08 (a Tuesday, simultaneous international release). If all goes well and the wheels stay on, then GTAV could well be on course to come out in 6-7 months, I think they'd want to avoid the October/November hotspots, even as big a game as GTA is, it's no longer the sales juggernaut of the game industry, and will be looking to avoid CoD 9 and Halo 4 at the least.Thursday, November 03, 2011 @ 03:27 AM
@102 I didn't say just GTA, I said Rockstar. GTA IV April 2008, Red Dead Redemption May 2010, LA Noir May 2011. Do you see the pattern yet?Thursday, November 03, 2011 @ 03:58 AM
@117 Interesting that there were only about 7 months between original trailer and originally planned release date for GTA IV, so maybe that 2405 is significant and would fit in nicely. The release date for GTA IV was actually 29th april 2008 worldwide, which was a Tuesday. It was my mum's 60th birthday and I had to go out for a meal in the evening having played it all day. Usually games come out on a Tuesday in North America and a Friday in Europe but some games get a different date worldwide. I remember Halo 3 was a Wednesday and recently Gears 3 was a Tuesday. However a Thursday would just be weird.Thursday, November 03, 2011 @ 04:12 AM
If 2013 is THE date of release, this trailer is a dick move tease.Thursday, November 03, 2011 @ 04:43 AM
I can honestly wait Rockstar can be a company that will deliver. Besides I have many wonderful games to play in the meantime (SKYRIM ESPECIALLYThursday, November 03, 2011 @ 05:00 AM
Cannot wait!!! I will be nude when GTA V release on day one!!! :DThursday, November 03, 2011 @ 05:05 AM
Did anyone notice the "Speedophile" Jet Ski? And the BMX leaning against the house that is for sale? Bigfoot on the Police car seal? Has anyone tried phoning "555-0111" which is the number for the Daily Globe. I know Rockstar have done stuff with numbers before...Thursday, November 03, 2011 @ 05:08 AM
Also, there seems to be 2 people that may be the protagonist; the "Vercetti" character and the "CJ" character. Both of these pop up multiple times, such as "Vercetti" in the car and leading the bank robbery, and the "CJ" character in the car, in a police chase and a similar looking "CJ" with tattoos, running from the police. This might mean tattoos are in.Thursday, November 03, 2011 @ 05:38 AM
simple..... can not wait for this its been too long the side gta games are good but are not the same as the real thing i did hear rumours that in the special edition there will b playable original gta which you can play at an arcade system in the gta V game like in black ops yyou put the code in and get an arcade game etc.... still would like to see HD remakes of vice city and gta 3...Thursday, November 03, 2011 @ 06:12 AM
@123 let us know what you find when you call. I'm still clinging to the hope this will be released next year and 24/05 looks a good spot. Rockstar you dogs stop toying with us, damn you! Give us a day so I can plan my sick leave accordinglyThursday, November 03, 2011 @ 06:44 AM
It does look shit hot.Thursday, November 03, 2011 @ 06:50 AM
I can't ring the number, due to the international charges that I'm sure I'd incur. I've looked up the number though, 555-0111, and it came up with a few results; 1) It goes to a place called St. Thomas in the U.S Virgin Islands. No idea if that is relevant. 2) It's an old, fake, cheat code for GTA 4. 3) It's part of a cheat code for Enter The Matrix. 4) It's the number for California Taxi Co. in the movie Crossroads. 5) It's the number on the keys found sign in the movie Just Like Heaven. Yeah, I don't think this number means much.Thursday, November 03, 2011 @ 07:05 AM
The only thing I'm really looking at is the California Taxi Co. number from Crossroads. As LS is LA and LA is in California, that seems to be the only connection between them. Of course, it may just be a number Rockstar came up with and wasn't aware of the Taxi number. After all, all 555-0100 to 555-0199 numbers are fictitious... This is fun though, and I'm now trying to find out which Crossroads the Taxi number comes from; the 1937, 1942, 1976, 1986 or the 2002 one... The 2002 one is based in LA though, but it involves Britney Spears going to an audition. Not GTA stuff, really...Thursday, November 03, 2011 @ 07:52 AM
well now I'm even more excited..Thursday, November 03, 2011 @ 09:38 AM

GTA V might be download only according to OXM, saying that a gaming research from Newzoo has said it.Friday, November 04, 2011 @ 02:48 AM
@128 There are no 555 numbers over here in the US. Those phone numbers that start 555 are used in movies, TV shows, games, etc, so people don't actually call them.Friday, November 04, 2011 @ 10:29 AM

By now everyone should have already gushed over the brand new Grand Theft Auto V trailer long enough and be already picking it apart at the seams... we’re way ahead of you.
After much toing and froing between Rich and myself as to which trailer was better – GTA IV versus GTA V (Rich incidentally said V and I didn’t think it had the same impact and style that IV had) – we eventually got around to picking apart the trailer and breaking it down for you – with screens galore – from the main character and the music choice, to the setting and observations we made.
Join us then as we get our magnifying glasses out and speculate like crazy!
The main character:
The lead character, presumably seen at 0:40, talks about moving to Los Santos and buying a big house to be a “good guy” for once and to be a father. Whether he is one yet, it doesn’t really insinuate, but it does go on to say that basically, the shit hit the fan and things never turn out the way you plan. Go figure!
Is it Tommy Vercetti? Isn’t it? The internet seems split on this, but we’re not convinced. For one, Rockstar aren’t known to bring back old characters to take centre stage in their new games, especially Grand Theft Auto! And for two, it may look like an older version of him, but it doesn’t sound like him... bringing back Vercetti without Liotta would be criminal! It could be, but we’re not convinced yet.
The music:
Rockstar love their music in their trailers and this latest one is no different. Thanks to the wonderful Shazam we can tell you that the trailer’s song is a 1968 song from the British band, Small Faces and is in fact the title track from their Ogden’s Nut Gone Flake album.
Does that mean it’s set in the 60s? Not necessarily, it could be a song from one of the classic rock stations they usually have in the game and everything in the trailer suggests it’s more current day than anything else.
The setting:
There’s a lot of speculation around the internet that the next game is set in San Andreas, but that, going by this trailer alone, is purely speculation and nothing more. Nothing in the trailer suggests that it goes outside the confines of the fictional LA and its surrounding areas, and other than a few number plates with San Andreas on them (Los Santos is still in San Andreas, after all) that’s all we have to go on. Whether that was Rockstar’s intention, who knows, and for all we know they could show off Las Venturas and San Fierro in the second and third trailer, but until we see definitive proof or hear it from the horse’s mouth, we’re not committing. It wouldn’t surprise us, but to assume is to make an ass out of you and me.
The trailer (the breakdown):
So that’s the nitty gritty out the way, let’s focus on the trailer itself and all the stuff that you could miss if you blinked... you know, in typical Rockstar fashion!
Awwww, such a pretty sunset on the beach. We hope there's red Baywatch swimming costumes in there... What's that? A dog? Yes, it is.
People running? Big whoop, right? But what about the other women running the other way, turning around to check out the bods of the male runners? Very cool... does that mean we can expect more reactive pedestrian AI?
Two things: they're playing golf and there's a big ass blimp in the sky. Can we fly it? Can we crash into it? Let's hope so.
Jet skis are in. Great. Dudes wearing blue shorts, yellow life jackets and yellow shades. Not so great.
Fancy a hike up into the surrounding hills... well, mountains, then it looks like that's an option. Or, you could just go into the hills and pick off other hikers with a sniper rifle. We'll take the second option.
It looks like GTA V welcomes convertible cars that can switch from open-top to closed-top with the click of a button. You know, because you don't want our virtual protagonist to get rain pixels on his lovely hair.
"E Cola - Deliciously Infectious" - Ahhh, Rockstar, good to see the humour's still there!
Nothing particularly noteworthy here, expect those cool looking wind turbines and dirt roads.
People exercising on the balcony? It looks like the attention to detail is as much a part of the franchise than ever before.
Two things: Little Seoul and the Los Puerta Freeway. A couple of locations that will feature in the game then.
Ladies and gents, let us present Venice Beach, or as Rockstar call it, Muscle Sands. Notice that it confirms that the city is indeed called Los Santos on the same sign.
A quick snapshot of who we assume will be our main protagonist and downtown Los Santos.
What do we have here then? Some dude with terrible dress sense, a dilapidated neighbourhood and some street baller giving him the eyes. I sense danger for one person here...
Anyone fancy a visit to the Mile High Club?
A biplane, cherry pickers and crop dusting... just another day in the surrounding areas of LS!
Again, the supposed lead character busts out of a "Bugstars" van to pull a heist on a jewellery shop. Bugstars, according to the side of the van, are looking to put the "FU in fumigate." Love it!
The number plate says San Andreas, in case you wondered... well, we think it does.
Another number plate, another San Andreas reference. What is our obsession with number plates!?
Homeless people in LA!? Sorry, I mean, LS! Whodathunk it!?
A nice little snapshot of the side of a mail truck. This is definitely a blink and you'll miss it shot... and another subtle (or not so subtle) Rockstar jab at American culture.
A 'For Sale' sign being knocked into the lawn? Recycling cans? Trash on the floor? The house number on the curb? Again, the attention to detail is astonishing!
Halo has Spartans. Uncharted has Nathan Drake. GTA has hookers... lots of hookers!
If the homeless are all going to be this funny, we may run out of money quick! In case you can't read it, it says "Need money for beer, drugs and hookers. At least I'm not bullshitting u!"
Yes, more homeless people, this time with tents made out of tarpaulin and other junk.
Jets. Are. Back. Hells. Yes!
Outside of a club called Tequi-La-La and under an advert for Enema (ha!), we see a man being thrown out of a club. We get the feeling he's a tad drunk!
Welcome to Los Santos, the city of epic sunsets and smog.
Police chases? In GTA? With cars trading paint? Check, check and double check!
Helicopters, check. Police foot chases, check. You know, the usual GTA stuff.
The iconic Vinewood sign on Vinewood hill which rose to fame in San Andreas in Rockstar's take on Hollywood. Yes, this is still classed as Los Santos.
Jets... Did we mention jets were back? Yes, well let us say it again... there's jets in GTA V!!
