Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V or GTA 5) is an upcoming video game created by Rockstar Games. It will be the next installment in the Grand Theft Auto series, after GTA IV and Episodes from Liberty City.

The game is set in modern day Los Santos, San Andreas and its surrounding countryside. Although it was originally going to be released in spring 2013, Rockstar has confirmed the official release date to be 17 September 2013 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.[1] A PC version has not been confirmed, however Rockstar has stated that "everything is up for consideration"[2].

Gameplay

There are three separate protagonists: Michael, Trevor Phillips and Franklin. Dan Houser stated in an interview that one of the protagonists will be the antagonist. Rockstar have said that this would be Trevor, as he is psychopathic and a hothead, qualities he displays in the second trailer.

At any time outside a mission (and in some missions that feature several of them), you can switch between these characters. When not being controlled, they will continue with their lives, so switching to them will put in you whatever situation they are currently in. These three protagonists will have overlapping storylines and will affect each other.

Storyline missions and some hobbies and side-missions will only be available to the specific character. But most side-missions and random encounters will be available to any. Character customisation will be similar, if not identical, to GTA: San Andreas', with each character having a range of tattoos, hairstyles and clothes to purchase. Different body masses such as Fat and Muscle however, will not be returning due to the complex personalities of the protagonists. The Stats system from San Andreas will also be making a return, with each character having a particular knack for certain stats such as driving or flying. The three characters have their own unique special abilities that can be used during gameplay, such as slowing down time when driving or shooting.

Image Name Description
Michael De Santa Michael De Santa Michael is a retired bank robber, living under the protection of the FIB witness protection program. With his money running out, he is being drawn back into a life of crime.
Trevor Phillips Trevor Philips Trevor is an emotionally unstable, sociopathic career criminal, suffering from drug addiction. He has previously worked with Michael in various heists, and has prior experience as a military pilot, allowing him to operate aircraft.
Franklin Clinton Franklin Clinton Franklin is "fit and fashion conscious", working for an Armenian luxury car dealer, repossessing cars of those who default on their payments. He is starting to work his way up in the criminal world.

Rockstar have confirmed that, as GTA V is part of the HD Universe (GTA IV Era onwards), certain characters from GTA IV and its episodes will return, but not major ones like Niko Bellic.


Los Santos

Main article: Los Santos in GTA V

Like Liberty City in Grand Theft Auto IV, Los Santos and the surrounding areas have been completely remade on a much larger and more detailed scale than in GTA San Andreas.

The world will be bigger than the total size of the worlds from GTA IV, Red Dead Redemption, and GTA San Andreas combined.

Unusually, the entire map will be open to the player right from the start of the game, like in GTA Chinatown Wars, rather than being restricted to a small corner or island until the game permits you to continue. This is in keeping with GTA V's philosophy of letting the player do whatever you want to do, rather than being forced to do certain things at a certain time in a certain way. Each playable character lives in a different area, which will help players explore several areas of the map at once.

Named locations include: Vinewood, Little Seoul, Los Puerta Freeway, Vespucci Beach, Downtown, Del Perro Freeway, East Los Santos and Los Santos Bay. There is also expansive countryside including Mount Chiliad, a military base and coastline.

Notably, the game will continue to display distant mountains and buildings from the entire map, even many miles away. This is in contrast to GTA IV where only 1.5 kilometers (roughly 1 mile) of distance is rendered, and buildings suddenly appear when the player gets close. Now, even lights on buildings and streetlights from the opposite side of the map will be visible when high enough up, creating a much greater sense of the massive scale.

Features

In addition to the multiple protagonists, GTA V will bring many new (and returning) features:

Vehicles
  • Planes will return, and as Trevor Phillips is a former military pilot, he can fly them from the start of the game
  • Also known to be in the game will be: bicycles, helicopters, airships/blimps, trucks, jetskis, convertible cars and freight trains
  • Aircraft and exotic cars will be available from the start, but they will be challenging to obtain
  • GTA V has the most vehicles out of any game in the series. This may be a mixture of vehicles from Grand Theft Auto IV and many new vehicles
  • Vehicles in GTA V will be customizable on a similar level to Midnight Club LA's: body kits, paint jobs/finishes, wheels, exhaust tips, window tints, tire smoke color, bull-bars, extra lights, brakes, engine tuning, suspension, horns, bulletproof tires, and panel armor. More aftermarket parts are unlocked as the player completes racing sidemissions.
  • License plates will also be customizable


Weapons
  • Weapons are customisable, such as extended clips that allow you to fire more ammo between reloads, grips to improve your accuracy, weapon tints to color your guns, flashlights, scopes, laser sights, and suppressors
  • There are several modern-day or updated weapons in the game, including the IMI Tavor TAR-21, a Ruger MP-9, AK-47 and Mossberg 500
  • Weapons will not be lost just because you run out of ammunition


Game world
  • The entire map will be open from the very start of the game
  • The map is bigger than the total size of the worlds from GTA IV, Red Dead Redemption, and GTA San Andreas combined
  • The map is not a copy of that of GTA San Andreas, but a brand new city designed around LA, with some names reused from San Andreas
  • The map contains the city of Los Santos plus masses of countryside including Mount Chiliad, a vast desert, forests, beaches and many communities
  • The entire map will be visible from anywhere, instead of only rendering short distances, so even mountains and building lights from the far side of the map will be visible
  • The city and surrounding areas appear to be thick with smog during late evening time
  • Mines and wind turbines appear in the landscape
  • There is a fully-operational golf course
  • The ocean floor can be fully explored, with this comes the addition of wearable scuba gear and drivable submarines
  • There will also be shipwrecks containing money and useful items
  • Wildlife and animals will appear for the first time; confirmed animals include dogs, cougars, deer, sharks and eels
  • Players can purchase houses, garages, marinas, helipads, and businesses to increase cash flow
  • Some specialty properties must be owned before purchasing certain types of transportation: you will need a helipad before purchasing a helicopter, or a marina before purchasing a vessel
  • Purchasing certain properties will give you additional perks: owning a taxi business will give you free cab rides
  • Though likely expected, trailers and promotional screenshots confirm the presence of strip clubs


Characters
  • There are 3 playable characters (protagonists) - Michael, Trevor Phillips and Franklin, and the player can jump into another character at any time
  • Each protagonist will have his own storyline, and will continue his life in the background when not being controlled
  • Some characters from the GTA IV Era will appear in the game, but not protagonists such as Niko Bellic
  • Random Characters will appear in random places, with the player having the option to interact with them to start a side-mission
  • The Lost Brotherhood will be returning as seen in the 'Trevor' trailer: in the second trailer, a group of Lost MC members are seen chasing and shooting at protagonist Trevor Phillips as he escapes in a plane, while in the Trevor trailer, a Lost MC logo was on a character's jacket
  • Players can hire people of varying abilities (and costs) to assist with missions; as hirelings go on more missions with players, their stats will increase, along with their cut of the spoils
  • Each of the three characters has his own unique bank account: money earned while playing as Trevor will not be available to Michael and Franklin


Multiplayer
  • There is no single-player co-op, but there will be co-op multiplayer
  • Crews will be carried over from Max Payne 3 into Grand Theft Auto V's multiplayer.[3]

Official Information

In November 2011, Rockstar announced GTA V with the first trailer.

From autumn 2012 through present time, Rockstar released a range of screenshots and artworks from GTA V.

In October 2012, retail posters and displays were leaked showing a release date of Spring 2013 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. This was confirmed by a Facebook post from Rockstar

On 5 November 2012, Rockstar announced that GTA V is available to be pre ordered and released a "Beach Weather" PC wallpaper. Later that day they announced that a 2nd trailer will be shown on 14 Nov 12. This second trailer was set to be released 2 Nov 12, the one-year anniversary of the first trailer, but Hurricane Sandy left Rockstar's New York offices without power and unable to release the trailer.

On 8 November 2012, GameInformer released a 23-page feature on GTA V, revealing masses of information including the three protagonists, the scale of the Los Santos map, and some hints into the feature changes. See /Game Informer for more information.

On 31 January 2013, Rockstar announced[4] the official release date of the game to be 17 September, 2013, despite earlier claims that the game would be released in spring 2013. A PC date is not yet known.

On 30 April 2013, Rockstar released three new trailers, focusing on the three protagonists.

On 2 May 2013, Rockstar announced that several gaming sites worldwide had received hands-on demos and as of this day, Rockstar were allowing them to recount and analyze their experiences publicly.

On 2 July 2013, Rockstar answered several gamers' questions through a news article. In this article, they confirmed the following:

  • The ability to switch to any protagonist at any time when not in a mission, as well as missions that involve multiple protagonists
  • Using one protagonist to "kill" another would result similarly to a protagonist "dying" in previous GTA games (they don't actually die, they just end up in the hospital fully recovered)
  • All editions of the game will include a double-sided map of Los Santos
  • Both weapons and cars will be "very customizable"
  • The Xbox 360 version will be 2 discs, with Disc 1 being a first-time install-only disc and Disc 2 being the gameplay disc, while the PlayStation 3 version will be one disc and will automatically install the same way the Xbox 360 version does, both requiring 8GB of space
  • A gameplay trailer and information on Grand Theft Auto Online will be coming soon; Rockstar will not confirm nor deny a PC version as well as next gen versions
  • There will be new and stronger anti-cheating measures online
  • Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 gameplay will be identical
  • There will not be another delay and the 17 September release date still stands

On 9 July 2013, Rockstar released the first official gameplay video for Grand Theft Auto V.
