GTAV.NET is a fan site devoted to the new Grand Theft Auto game, the title of which is believed to be Grand Theft Auto V (also known as GTA V, GTA 5, or Grand Theft Auto 5). At the moment details are scarce, but stay with us and we'll update you with any information we receive.
Confirmation
Rockstar's Dan Houser confirmed to The Times in 2009 that a new GTA is planned. "We'll think of a city first, then the characters," said Houser. No details have been confirmed.
The Title
The next GTA is likely to be called "Grand Theft Auto V" (or "Grand Theft Auto 5"). In the past, some titles have taken the form of Grand Theft Auto followed by a location name (e.g. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas) but this is because Vice City and San Andreas formed a trilogy with GTA III (Vice City and San Andreas were essentially expansions of the GTA III story). As yet, there has been no suggestion that GTA IV will be similar. Indeed, Rockstar's Dan Houser told the Official PlayStation Magazine in 2007 that "to be honest with you, we haven't yet figured out if this [GTA IV] is going to be leading onto another bunch of games or not."
Estimated Release Date
Rockstar North has been busy with several projects in 2010. They made a large contribution to Red Dead Redemption, and they're also working on a new PS3 title called Agent. Since Agent has been announced and GTA V has not, one would assume that Agent is the company's priority. We should get a clearer idea of when to expect GTA V once the release date for Agent is announced. GTA V should be released no later than 2012.
Platforms
It is likely that GTA V will be developed and released simultaneously for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The PC version will arrive 7-8 months after the console release, as has been the case in the past.
Setting
The game could be set in a location that has featured previously in the series, or it could be set somewhere new. The only thing we know for sure is it won't be Liberty City. Most fans believe it will be Vice City, but might this be too obvious a prediction? Afterall, only 4% of our visitors correctly predicted that GTA IV would be set in Liberty City!
When asked if Rockstar had ever considered setting a GTA game outside the US, Dan Houser responded:
Yes we have, we just haven't ever made that maneuver. I would have a certain confidence of maybe doing it in England, but anywhere else I wouldn't really know what was going on. The guys who make that kind of stuff on the team may not necessarily know where to begin. I'm sure that there are lots of interesting things to talk about in Russia or China or Japan about that aspect of society [consumerism] but I wouldn't know what they were and so we feel it wouldn't necessarily be GTA.
