Official Information about GTA V

Rockstar Games has released a trailer for GTA V, showing a range of clips of the game, which is the only official information known so far:

• The game is set in modern-day Los Santos (based on Los Angeles) in the state of San Andreas.
• Only Los Santos and various rural areas were shown in the trailer. It is not known whether San Fierro or Las Venturas (the other cities in San Andreas) will re-appear.
• The city and surrounding areas have been completely remade, it is not a like-for-like copy of the map from GTA San Andreas.
• GTA V will includes dogs, planes, airships/blimps, jet-skis, mountainous countryside, convertible cars, mines and wind turbines.
• Named locations include: Vinewood, Little Seoul, Los Puerta Freeway, Vespucci Beach, Downtown, Del Perro Freeway, East Los Santos and Los Santos Bay.
• Trucks will once again have trailers and poverty will also be high in-game as well.
• The city and surrounding areas will be thick with smog during late evening time.
• The Shamal,Biplane Huntley Sport and Linerunner will all be re-designed for a much modern and updated look.
• Cars similar to the rare 2011 Bentley Continental GT will appear as seen in the trailer.
• "Los Puerta" might be another city in San Andreas, possibly based on San Diego. There is good reason to believe this because the highway sign shown is Interstate 5, a real-life U.S. Interstate in Los Angeles. The I-5 goes both through LA and San Diego, and in real-life a portion of the I-5 in Los Angeles is called the San Diego Freeway, and Los Puerta Freeway might be its GTA counterpart.
• It is not known whether GTA V will be in the same era as GTA IV or a new era.

Hints and guesses about GTA V

A number of possible clues have been found in previous GTA games and elsewhere to indicate what may be the setting and content of GTA V. Fans have also made a number of educated guesses.

• Gaming blog Kotaku quoted a source "familiar with" GTA V stating that the game will be set in Los Angeles (which was previously featured as Los Santos in GTA San Andreas, and also in Rockstar's crime-solving game LA Noire) and would have multiple playable characters (just as TLAD and BOGT brought new characters and stories to the game).

• On page thirteen of the Episodes from Liberty City guide book, there's a teaser that shows a broken heart made of the GTA IV box art and says "Liberty City, It's Over!" followed by "Next Stop..." and a small torn area that shows another poster behind, later revealed to be an advert for Mollis. The torn area has been noted as being in the shape of France. It also says in the right lower corner in a red box "Opens March Everywhere".

• According to reports, Rockstar Games recently registered new website domains that sound like they could belong to GTA 5's in-game Internet, assuming the game inherits the feature from GTA IV. The domains are: CashForDeadDreams.com, SixFigureTemps.com, StopPayingYourMortgage.net, HammersteinFaust.com, and LifeInvader.com.

• On the Rockstar Games Social Club in the GTA IV Story Gang section, there is an Air Sol plane ticket that was apparently purchased by Niko Bellic to fly from Liberty City to San Andreas.

• Take-Two Interactive revealed they are expecting at least $2.00 per share for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. The last time this happened was during the release of GTA IV, which reached $2.08 per share. Income only reached $1.06 per share during the release of Red Dead Redemption, and is projected to only reach $0.35 for the current fiscal year. It is expected that only a GTA game is able to bring this level of success to T2, which implies one must be planned for release in fiscal year 2012.
