Hasta La Gadget!

Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto 5 is most likely looking at a 2013 release, but so far not much about the game has been revealed, i.e. gameplay, features, system requirements, story and etc. So far Rockstar has released several screenshots from the game in the past, highlighting the pretty awesome graphics that gamers can expect to see. Well Rockstar has now released the first official artwork from the upcoming game, giving us a look at some characters from the game disguised as pest control workers while wielding some pretty serious firepower. In any case the artwork looks pretty good and according to the Rockstar blog, lots of info will be coming next month. We’re not sure what they mean by that – could they be talking about a release date or game features? Either way we guess we will have to wait and find out, but do check back with us then for the latest updates!

Being an analyst carries an incredibly heavy responsibility – what you say could actually be gospel truth for some. Some analysts tend to say very little, but when they do, they are absolutely spot on. This time around, we have games industry analyst Michael Pachter who claims that the long awaited GTA 5 game will be released before March 2013. His came to this speculation based on the recent GameInformer announcement that GTA 5 is scheduled for an appearance on November’s cover issue, hence leading him to put his money on a release date sometime before Q1 2013 is over.

When Pachter was interviewed, he said, “Every GTA, except for one, has launched in October.I actually think the Rockstar guys would have preferred to launch [GTA 5] this October. I don’t know that they are going to try and get in the way of BioShock Infinite, which is a February launch, Rockstar probably aren’t even aware BioShock is coming out, nor do they care. Take Two is on the hook to deliver over a billion dollars in revenue. Their fiscal year, ends March 31, so they pretty much have to bring the game out by March 31. I would say a March launch is more likely than May and knowing the Rockstar guys, I wouldn’t rule out a December [2012] launch. You just don’t know with these guys, they could announce next week that GTA is coming out December 20, I think it would be stupid, but they could do it.”

What do you think of Pachter’s observation? Is it in line with what you have in mind, or do you think that there will be a different release date overall?

You can never quite trust everything that you read on the Internet these days, unless there is a confirmation from the official source. Case in point, the leaked screenshot that you see above allegedly shows off the release date for GTA 5 (Grand Theft Auto 5), which is a hotly anticipated gaming title from Rockstar Games. After all, we have already discovered GTA 5 vehicle names in Max Payne 3, not to mention a Rockstar employee’s CV hinting at an October 2012 release for GTA V as well. The screenshot above shows an alleged data page for Grand Theft Auto 5 that shares vital statistics such as the release window, the confirmation of a PC version, a possible co-op mode and perhaps online multiplayer capability of (hard to believe) up to 64 players. It is like Quake 2 all over again, just with more mayhem.

Since this is a leaked screenshot, it goes without saying that a certain amount of blur comes with the territory, and what you see does not disappoint. I suppose that in the case of hardcore GTA fans, they would echo the words of Fox Mulder, “I want to believe.” Do you?

Rockstar has been pretty evasive and quiet when it comes to Grand Theft Auto 5, but in the latest set of Q&As, the company has released a couple of screenshots from the game, giving us a glimpse of the game which they are calling their “biggest open world game to date”. Unfortunately apart from those screenshots (with more promised to be on the way), not much else was revealed about the game. Naturally the lack of information is frustrating for fans and has spawned a lot of rumors and speculation, which Rockstar had this to say: (more…)
