- Some GTA fan who is p!ssed off (Guest) January 31, 2013Typical Rockstar. They do it with every bloody game! If Rockstar employees are always this late, it will be a mystery on how they keep their jobs.
- Jayson (Guest) January 08, 2013I've been waiting for this game for a long time, and spring is coming up faster than I thought it would. I'm hoping an official, specific release date will come soon. Grand Theft Auto 5 is going to be a big one.
- nmgvdni87yfd (Guest) October 16, 2012I think it WONT come out in 2012 because the demo that was show will mean it might still be testing
- JamieSmithTheSnail (Guest) August 27, 2012My opinion. GTA 5 will be released in October. For starters as you can see, Rockstar are pumping the players up for GTA 5 with screenshots. People are getting excited for the game, Why pump the players up now, if the game will come out next year? They can't keep releasing screenshots throughout christmas and half of next year, other games will be fighting for no.1 spot as more games will be coming out next year then they are during the October - December period. Secondly, Bioshock has been delayed, I know most of you have probably heard about this, but this October slot would be great for GTA 5, people are pumped for the game and it is close to Christmas, not only will Rockstar get alot of pre-orders but will also get alot of Christmas money too, You can think of it as an extra. Thirdly Rockstar have been re-modeling some of the vehicles, the one that has been clearly re-modeled is the "Hydra". In the trailer it had 3 equal sized bombs on each wing, and in the screenshot it still has 3 bombs on each wing, but one of the bombs is bigger on each side, the second vehicle is the "Maverick" if you look at the screenshot of it, it has an added layer of landing skids whereas the trailer version has less layers. Small modifications but still, it shows Rockstar could've fixed all the glitches and bugs and are focusing on the realism of vehicles maybe? Now my last reason which probably isnt what I think it is, Is that on the number plates of cars have OCT written on them. Probably nothing, but you know what Rockstar are like with easter eggs :P
