There was a simple Tweet this morning from
@rockstargames that simply said #GTAV and including a link to their homepage which features the picture to the right. As you can see from the pic, GTA V's first trailer is due next week... and well, that's pretty much all we know.We could try and dissect the way the 'V' looks like it's cut out of a $5 bill, but there really isn't enough information to form any kind of basis from. People on the forums are saying it has a vibe similar to San Andreas, or maybe even Washington DC, but we really won't know anything until next week when the trailer is released.
All I can say is.... YAY!
This exciting news may just spark my interest to go back and start playing GTA games all over again (well at least since GTA III.) In fact, it is GTA III's 10th year anniversary and they are soon to be releasing an iOS version for iPad 2 (and maybe iPhone.) That would be a great place to start... and if I actually play through all the games and try to achieve 100%, the next GTA may be released by the time I finish.
- SPECULATION -
OK, if we base the release of the trailer on the release of the trailer for GTA IV... IV's trailer was released March 07... the release date for the game was supposed to be October 07 but was delayed and didn't come out until April 08. So it was supposed to be about 7 months away, but ended up being 13 months... I'll cross my fingers and hope that they are aiming for 6 or 7 months away which would put GTA V's release date approximately May or June. I hope we find out a bit more about the release next week as well. I'm Hype!
**UPDATE**
Last night I started playing through GTA III on Xbox and after about the 3rd mission I had to move on, simply because I've played through III about 20 times and it felt old... still great but old nonetheless...
I moved on to Vice City and again, it was nice returning but I had already played it a few dozen times so I moved on to San Andreas.
San Andreas did feel a bit more fresh and I got through about 5 missions... I have already beaten San Andreas a couple times and I've played it probably even more than III or Vice City, but I wanted to jump to the next gen console, so I put in...
GTA IV... This game I only beat twice in the past and I have played a bunch of times too, but it still feels very fresh, so I stuck with this and got through about 4 missions... I will continue playing through it until I beat it, also aim for getting 100%. After that's done, I'll play Lost and the Damned expansion and The Ballad of Gay Tony expansion. That will be tough enough to get through all of them, and probably last until the new game comes out... depending on how much free time I actually get to play.
