Shouldn't this be move/renamed to something like "Facts & Information GTA5" and this should become the GTA5 page like GTA4 page? Kacj321|Zomboid Wikia|Elder Scrolls Wikia 12:22, October 25, 2011 (UTC)

Carcer City 100%
If the LC is over from any gta era,carcer city is posibily to be the new city in gta 5.Because is mostly mentioned in the games.But the unnamed city from Manhunt 2 is 1% to be the new city from gta v. RomanianFireSnake 6:27 pm, October 26th, 2011, (UTC+2)


 * Note: Carcer City being the setting is extremely unlikley, though possible, Manhunt was not made by Rockstar, and therefore use of the city could likely end up in a lawsuit.


 * Manhunt was created by Rockstar Games, but I agree that this is very unlikely. -- Ilan xd 18:03, October 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Carcer City was originally intended to appear in GTA IV as part of Liberty State, but due to the limits of technology at that time the idea was dropped very early, meaning while it is possible for Carcer to appear in GTA, it remains quite unlikely. Jimothy-64 (talk) 00:27, July 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * GTA V will only take place in Los Santos and its surrounding countryside.

Speculation, Speculation

URGENT: UNDO NOW
Someone needs to undo my edit. this is the third time out of 430 edits this has happened. just so you know it's not me its the computer. Russelnorthrop 03:34, October 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * I know it's not you bud, you've been having that happen sometimes for a while now and I've seen it happen to other people too. No idea what causes it, but I know it's not vandalism and not your fault. Jeff (talk|stalk) 05:43, October 29, 2011 (UTC)

Rewrites
I did quite a bit of rewriting.

For starters this article needs to take a neutral point of view when it comes to speculations and rumors, avoid what wikipedia calls "peacock terms", and use dry and simple tense.

Speculation can be included if there's a good reason for including it. For example, Rockstar researching in LA is a good reason to include the San Andreas speculation. But counterpoints, if they exist, should also be included. And if they are, the article should not try to take one side or another - it should present both arguments calmly, simply, and rationally.

Wilder speculation should not be included. This is why I removed the "it might be set in Vice City because we haven't had a game there for a while", because that's just too broad a piece of information to be worth basing anything on. Jeff (talk|stalk) 05:57, October 29, 2011 (UTC)

Rumors
This doesn't belong in the main article, but it was posted (copypasted) to this talk page so I'll at least mention it. Someone on the 4chan image board claiming to work for Rockstar leaked a bunch of information about the game. For all the specifics, read here. Jeff (talk|stalk) 03:39, October 31, 2011 (UTC)

I know that this probably belongs on the forums, but THAT WOULD BE AN AWESOME GAME. I can already picture cruising down grove street. I'm now reminiscing on GTA SA even though i still play at least twice a week still. Thanks for posting thatlink coz i never would have found it. russel likes to smash things 09:17, October 31, 2011 (UTC)

Era???
Just wondering what era this game is going to be in. Will it be in the GTA IV Era or will it start its own GTA V Era??? russel likes to smash things 09:17, October 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * Rockstar said in their GTA III Q&A that they had had three different types of GTA universes: the 2D, 3D, and high definition universes. They decided to only move unseen characters and other companies but they had characters that were had a role in the games stay in heir own universe. They also mentioned that characters from GTA 3 couldn't be in the GTA IV universe so it's unclear that they will put GTA V in the same era but I would guess that they are.Rok198 14:23, April 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * If the game would be in GTA IV era, why the hell would Rockstar Games call it GTA V? YU$UF 16:35, April 9,2012 (UTC)


 * The term GTA IV Era is only used on our wiki. Rockstar has their high definition Universe starting from GTA IV. GTA V is a high definition game so they could possibly be in the same canon.Rok198 14:42, April 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * Rockstar Games did used the 'eras' term for the GTA franchise. This term was thought of since GTA 2, but the resolution is part of the canon. I even heard Rockstar Games been using the era term since GTA IV. Tony 4-2-8-1-9-9-8 (talk) 19:13, July 6, 2012 (UTC)Tony_4-2-8-1-9-9-8
 * Each game that ends with a number starts a new era. However, Niko Bellic could make a few appearances with his military expaeriences in GTA V and GTA V will be very simular to San Andreas.


 * Man.... I forgot about when I started this. I too did find out that they had a 2d, 3d, and HD era a few weeks ago. Let's hope we find Niko, Johnny and Luis come back, not that I want to start anything here. :P  RusselNorthrop ('Talk2Me'--'Contribs') 13:09, April 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * Really, Rockstar named the eras according to what what game started it. i.e. GTA III; GTA IV. The eras, in order, are:


 * GTA Era: GTA 1, GTA London 1969, GTA London 1961


 * GTA 2 Era: GTA 2


 * GTA III Era: GTA III, GTA: Vice City, GTA: San Andreas, GTA Advance, GTA: Liberty City Stories, GTA Vice City Stories


 * GTA IV Era: GTA IV, GTA IV: The Lost and Damned; GTA: The Ballad of Gay Tony


 * GTA V Era (The new 'era'): GTA V and so on.


 * Rockstar did say that each era had enhanced resolution. Like you said, GTA III Era is SD and GTA IV Era is HD. GTA V will still be in HD, but its 'eras' are not divided by resolutions, only by its starting point of a GTA sequel, i.e. GTA III -- GTA IV. GTA V will be set in a new San Andreas; Los Santos being the city and the protagonist is not confirmed. (Don't take that Albert de Silva B.S. GTAForums made that name up for the "protagonist".) Tony 4-2-8-1-9-9-8 (talk) 19:08, July 6, 2012 (UTC)Tony_4-2-8-1-9-9-8

They said major characters like Niko won't appear but more minor characters may show up

Round Head 12/11/2012



new info needs true citation
The wiki page has tons of assumptions, such as who the protagonist is (a 3 second close-up of a man does not mean he is the protagonist), whether or not thing such as certain aircrafts are confirmed and are drivable, and what platforms the game will be released on and in what regions.

Even the location can't be 100% confirmed, only strongly implied.

We don't even know if the trailer is in-engine or gameplay. Sliderkk 21:17, November 2, 2011 (UTC)

Comparison
Here is a comparison of locations between GTA: San Andreas and GTA V. Darth Spectre 09:48, November 3, 2011 (UTC)

Loctaion
Where was it said by Rockstar that it will only be in Los Santos? The Trailer shows the golf course which is in Los Venturas and the bukdings that the jet flies by are look like they are from San Fierro. If you can please link me to this information. T-888 19:59, November 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Its a new Los Santos, all those things are now part of Los Santos. Tom Talk 19:41, November 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * www.gtav.net or betteryet: http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/19471/grand-theft-auto-v-official-announcement.html


 * I was also thinking the same thing, at no point have Rockstar said that GTA V will be exclusively Los Santos, they say it heads to the city of Los Santos and it's surroundings, but they don't say that is all we get. It is never said that the rest of the state is not present. I personally struggle to see how they can make it their biggest gaming world yet with but one city, and quite frankly I doubt the gaming community would let them drop two cities which we all know are so very close at hand.

 * Bullshit. Firstly a guy from Playstation Magazine wouldn't be releasing info about GTA V on a GTA Forum, they'd release it in there magazine or on their website. Secondly we saw who the protagonist is and, unless you can use multiple protagonists though due to the fact that we got to hear the background of just one guy its unlikely, if is a white middle-aged man. Thirdly this just seems like a well thought out GTA wishlist, with a few obvious faults, he also said he got to see 30 minutes of in game footage but all the things he said he saw, including a 15 minute car journey, would take a lot more than 30 minutes. Finally, it is extremely unlikely this is genuine, some of this stuff will probably feature in the game but this is just some troll. Tom Talk 11:17, November 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Rockstar Games said the game might be released by the end of 2012 or in quarter of 2013. Evidently, Rockstar Games said that the gameplay demo will be showed in an eight-minute demo at E3 2012. That's tre of what you said. GTA fans are so hyped up about GTA V coming out, that two, so called, "leaked game" info were made up. the first was made up by a 'sacked Rockstar Games employee' and the second was made up by a 'Brandon Bax' a so called, 'former Rockstar NYC worker who was promoted to assist the producers. 'Bax' even said that he saw most of GTA V in development and saw inclusions to GTA V. I'll find the links to the info and post them on here.

 * From what i have heard it is based of the number "2405" on a fore sale sign in the trailer, considering R* is originally british, and the british write there dates as MM/DD/YY, or in this case 5/24/[2012]. However based on the release of prior R* games, which are ussually releases 7 months after the 1st trailer, gta v could be released in July of 2012, and if there are delays (as with GTA IV) it could be released as late as December of 2012. however theres no wayto tell until Rockstar officially announces the release date them selves, we wwill just have to keep our eyes peeled.


 * It's Sam Hauser's birthday if my memory serves me right . hehe Comrade.AK47 17:27, November 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * "the british write there dates as MM/DD/YY" - Wrong, all numeric dates in Britian are written as DD/MM/YYYY. Dan the Man 1983 09:13, November 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * 2405 is the birthdate of Sam Houser, co-founder and president of Rockstar Games. This appears in 0:54 to 0:55 of the trailer. Also, on the Ghawar in TBoGT (24051972). GTANiKoTalk 10:31, November 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * So in other words 2405 has nothing to do with the release date of GTAV. Jeff (talk|stalk) 05:38, November 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * On a Police cruiser in the trailer as it passes by on the license plate it says OCT so it could be released October since Rockstar said that the game would be focused on after Max Payne 3's release.Rok198 16:01, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

 * It says 23rd November for all platforms so I doubt this will be the release date as traditionaly the PC version is released several months after the console release. JR2307 19:34, December 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * Its most likely BS. Rockstar never releases GTA for all platforms at once. Plus Rockstar hasnt announced it so it cant be trusted. I personally would only trust it if it were on a Rockstar Games website, or posted somewhere by Rockstar themselves.SgtByrd 11:29, December 13, 2011 (UTC)

On the blue car with the possibily protagonist, the Ubermacht logo appearance to be red, not blue. It should be appear with blue color, or is just an another Rockstar Games' mistake, or it is a new car brand...

"V" meant "5" so May is the 5th month!
GTA IV was realesed in April which meant 4 and april is the 4th moon, this GTA wear "IV" so if this GTA wear "V" it can be realese in May 2012. First trailer "Things will be different", was launced one year before of its realese in 2007. (GTA IV), perhaps if the first trailer was launced in 2011, the game could be realese in 2012. - The FBI -

This is quite correct. Rockstar's game release dates are mostly on May. However this means we will have to wait up untill May of 2013, not 2012, because on May 2012 Max Payne 3 gets released. Also I noticed Orange stickers on registration plates in trailer. Those will be used on 2013 California plates. YU$UF

Grand Theft Auto V, on PS4?
I heard that GTA V could be comming for PS4. Normaly, other new games such as GTA 3, VC, SA, 4 can be played on PC so i think that gta v could be played on PC.

No, Rockstar said on their Q/A page that it will be released for the PlayStation 3. The PlayStation 4 is still on their blueprint. Besides, the PS4 console is not going to be released until 2014 or 2015. Tony 4-2-8-1-9-9-8 (talk) 18:18, July 27, 2012 (UTC) Tony_4-2-8-1-9-9-8

 * I sincerely don't care if it comes out for PS3, 4, or Xbox. I love my PC. The only reason some peoples have consoles is because they consider it better than upgrading their computers. PC will always have superior graphics.gtav_v_48x48.jpg Dodo8  Talk


 * Yeah, doesn't matter what is comes out on, consoles or PC. I prefer my gaming play on a console because I used to have GTA: San Andreas and GTA IV on my PC, but it was too confusing for me to locate the proper controls and it crashes my computer. Nevertheless, the graphics were way better than the console versions. (I don't own a gamepad or anything because my parents will not waste money on a device for me.)

R* has confirmed it: fixed-wing aircraft are set to return, and they'll be flyable. From the R* website:

"[Liberty City] was simply too small for effective and enjoyable flying. It was the first time we made a high definition open world, and it was a massive amount of work to make something on that scale – we simply could not make an environment big enough for planes to work properly. Fear not, they are returning in what is our biggest open world game to date."

The Protaganist and Name is U-N-K-N-O-W-N!! and Details are Too Reveiled
We don't know who the protaganist is or the name, but people keep on putting on this page that his name is "Albert De Sliva" or "Chico Vialpando". First of all, the name, Albert De Silva was made up on the GTAForums website on the GTA V Wishlist. The alledged "leaked content" from a R* employee fired from general misconduct confirming the protaganist's name must have checked GTAForums then decided to "write the the facts". This is also used on the Dual Shock Nexus website about GTA V's "leaked content" by a former R* employee named "Breandon Bax", but the details of the game are too detailed and too dumb and have horrible grammar.http://www.dualshocknexus.com/2012/04/massive-rumor-ex-rockstar-intern-leaks.html#!/2012/04/massive-rumor-ex-rockstar-intern-leaks.html. "Chico Vialpando" was made up as well http://thegamersheep.com/2012/05/gta-v-leaked-info-all-the-characters-and-story-of-grand-theft-auto-five/

This was all taken from GTA San Andreas with same GTA San Andreas characters and a GTA LCS character. If GTA V had Chico with the money, the cars, and the fame, would you start out the game with $99,999,999,999 dollars and have a Pegassi Infernus parked right in front of your house after you walk out of your house to start the first mission? Plus, this would be the next chapter of GTA: San Andreas and this game WILL NOT be "2012's Biggest Release" and WILL SUCK if you had to play GTA V with the same similarities as San Andreas.

So all I'm saying, leave the speculation off the the GTA V Page and talkpage saying that "this is real!" and DO NOT argue that this is real. Tony 4-2-8-1-9-9-8 (talk) 19:20, July 27, 2012 (UTC)

GTA V in a new era?
Hi people, why in GTA wikia here I see that GTA V is in a new era? I dont think so, it's in the same era as GTA IV because of the cars, and environment. Sure, there are 5 years of diference from 2008 and 2013, but its not in a new era. I mean, GTA I and GTA 2 are in the same era as in the 2D era games. And, what if in GTA V there are references about liberty city, exact city, and references to Niko Bellic in the game? GTA IV and GTA V can be in the same era.Can someone explain why people say its a new era? I totally disagree !! I want it changed...

Massionet51



There is a reason why GTA IV and V are not in the same era and have distinct eras. Here are the points:

GTA V will take place in a new era, with a different city, new characters and new missions. The GTA IV Characters be will be mentioned as an easter egg probably, but will never return in the game.
 * For GTA 1 and 2: The eras do not represent graphics; 2D and 3D. They are storyline/continutity eras. Even Rockstar Games said they use the era term for their GTA franchise.
 * GTA 1 had expansions GTA: London 1969 and 1961. That's the GTA 1 Era
 * GTA 2; it is a single era.
 * The GTA III Era had GTA III, VC, SA, Advance, LCS, and VCS. Each game had references to these games in this era and characters; thier lives before and after (i.e. Kent Paul; Lance Vance; Toni Cipriani)
 * The GTA III Era never had numbers in their title. If it did, it would be was GTA III: Vice City, GTA III San Andreas, GTA III: Advance, GTA III: LCS, and GTA III: VCS, then it would indicate that they are in the same era. It was never GTA IV: Vice City, GTA V: SA, GTA VI: Advance, GTA VII: LCS and GTA VIII: VCS
 * The GTA IV era had HD game engine and that was new to the franchise. The GTA IV Era was GTA IV: The Lost and Damned and GTA IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony (GTA: TBoGT; The IV was its beta name), and Chinatown Wars. Each game was a crossover(excluding CW, which took a year after IV); taking place at the same time, same city. Niko and Johnny and Luis crossed paths in missions. This era used the same city unlike the GTA III Era in which they used different cities. Chinatown Wars took place in Liberty City, but had totally new characters. Due to this, it wasn't GTA V: Chinatown Wars because the setting was in LC.
 * Now the GTA V Era, you got that one confused. If V was in the same era as IV, why hasn't Rockstar annouced it would be part in GTA IV's Episodes From Liberty City, even though it will be in Los Santos? Why did it take FIVE YEARS to make this "GTA IV Expansion"? Would the title be called, "Grand Theft Auto IV: V or GTA IV: Los Santos? No, it wouldn't because Rockstar would tell us that it was a GTA IV expansion. It would be in a DLC, just like EFLC and we would've got word about Niko, Johnny, and Luis returning.

<p style="margin-left: 24px">So you're saying that in GTA IV, TBOGT, TLAD and CTW is one universe and GTA V is another one? or, Are you saying that Los Santos doesnt look like the on ein the trailer in GTA IV (Although theres no pics, just mentioned) What if in the game of GTA V, niko bellic or anybody else from Liberty City is mentioned, or liberty city appears on TV? What would be the explenation of that?

 * Making this official: GTA 1, 61, 69, 2 will be 2D era
 * GTA 3, ADV, VC, SA, LCS, VCS will be 3D era
 * GTA 4, TLAD, TBOGT, CTW, V will be HD era


 * I will state, that games with numbers, will be main STORIES, the rest will be spinoffs... CHANGE THE INFO!!!
