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


 * We will change this page to a more-game-like article when we will have more information. Don't worry :) -- Ilan xd 12:24, 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)

Speculation, Speculation
The Trailer will be out in a few days, can we leave all speculation off this page, The Logo is all we have right now, let's just leave it at that. T-888 22:47, October 26, 2011 (UTC)

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)

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)

 * 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)

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.-SGT BYRD

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)Gwahan2.png
