Grand Theft Auto V official artwork released
Rockstar Games shows off "Pest Control" artwork for upcoming open-world action game, promises "lots of info" in November.
Rockstar Games today continued the slow-drip of Grand Theft Auto V information. The company has released the first official artwork for the game, which is titled "Pest Control."
The scene (at right) shows off two men in gas masks wielding automatic weapons emerging from the back of a van. The shot appears to be based on the same scene that appeared in the game's debut trailer, embedded below.
The image suggests the men are preparing to enter the "Anna Rex" store in the background. "Anna Rex" is a fictional clothing store that appeared in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.
Additionally, Rockstar said gamers can expect "lots of info" on GTA V sometime in November. It has been previously confirmed that the GameStop-owned Game Informer magazine will feature the game in its December issue.
The most recent GTA V news came last week, when Rockstar called on fans to write in with their feedback regarding Crews. Prior to that, the company released new screenshots for the game in August. Rockstar has kept quiet on the game since.
GTA V was announced in October 2011, but the game remains largely a mystery. Some analysts expect it to be on store shelves by March 2013, while others disagree. For more on GTA V check out GameSpot's previous coverage.
Hope you will impress me like hell on the 2nd trailer rockstar or at least release it on PC, your killing me slowly!!
after GTA V i think it would be a good idea that a future game could be set outside the US maybe a fictional version of london and it surrounding areas and maybe on some of the estates there could be different chav gangs congregating on the streets drinking Stella and white lightning while shouting abuse and threatening to stab you or patrolling the area on BMX bikes and why not bring back triad gangs in other parts or even dodgy white van men who offer you jobs and maybe take part in clashes between football fans etc
Venatorcruiser The lack of commas made me have to read 3 times your post to fully understand what you said
Au contrarie, mon friar! The images COULD NOT have been released, lest they be tagged for graphic content and about every rating no-no ever cataloged!
Oh heck yeah!
That picture kinda reminds me of Breaking Bad.. on another note, can't wait to see what they say throughout the course of November.. Shaping up to be one of the best gaming months in some time
BelaidKL maybe we get to play as Heisenberg LOL
theexperience13 Hahaha, I would classify GTAV as the greatest game ever if that were the case!
Well.... Hope my computer's strong enough to run this...
The only thing scaring me about this game is are they gonna take away a significant chunk of length from the story to load up a bunch of bullcrap for multiplayer so all the CoD worshippers will love it too?
theexperience13 I highly doubt that. GTAIV had a very long story. I dont know the exact length but its hell lot longer than the 4-5 hour CoD stories.
I also quite liked the GTAIV multiplayer even though I despised the gun mechanics for that.
kamikazeespleen Oh no dude, i didnt mean "Are they gonna make it as short as CoD?" I just meant I hope theyre not focusing on developing the multiplayer aspect more than the single player aspect since almost every new game on the planet has to have some decent form of multiplayer now, which I blame CoD for.
theexperience13 Oh haha. Nah I dont think they will. The single player is the key element of every game in the series. I cant see Rockstar going down a multiplayer-focused route. I dunno how big the multiplayer was in Max Payne 3 so I cant compare it to that but GTA is known for its great story, great cast of voice actors and great gameplay in an open world.
Hopefully, they stick to those :)
Just make it like GTA San Andreas with a lot more guns and features and everything will be cool.
If a GTA5 developer farts it will becomes a news
I don?t know why the franchise which was blast hot on PS2 could not keep it sales success either on PS3 or Xbox360. There is something missing a lot.
GamerMani Well, III, Vice City and San Andreas where only on the PS2 at Launch. GTA IV was on both the PS3 and 360 at launch. The global total for GTA IV on both consoles is 19.19 million. San Andreas sold 20.81 million on the PS2.
Artwork reminds me of Breaking Bad.
It's funny the next trailer release is just as hyped as many full game title releases lol.
i love that pic
rockstar is killing its fans
to me the image and footage of those exterminators remind me of a radio advert on one of the PS2 GTAs
GTA san andreas it was and the advert was commando pest control
I guess it would be make a game like gta or gta itself from the first person perspective.
Ortego13 or maybe have a first person option
Venatorcruiser Yeah, that would satisfy all players.
Although all the meandering and over hyped BullSh!t were receiving....I mean really.....a bit of fvckin' artwork.......come on. Why release a trailer a year ago and fvck all since.
.........Im still gonna by this mofo and play it until my fingers bleed!
Hopefully next month they announce a demo to be released before christmas.
grum88 there is no way it will be released this year.
@Hardstyler2012 I said hopefully they release a DEMO this year moron!
why not have this as a way to make money in the game
you steal a combine harvester if the game will have them
then you go on a rampage mincing up a load of people and you sell the gunk to a dodgy dog food factory, butcher shop or even to burger shot
Venatorcruiser
You've been playing too much Saints Row.
Phil-teh-Pirate last i played saints row i didnt realize mincing a load of people with a combine harvester also i would reckon San andreas would be a better comparison than saints row since there was great fun driving through a ballas neighbourhood painting the town red
Venatorcruiser They had a mission in GTA2 where you stole a bus picked up passengers and took them to the hotdog factory
bsnimunf yeah i remember that great times that game brought it was actually one of my favourites for PS1
bsnimunf it would also be awesome if you could modify the fire engines by swapping the water cannons with flamethrowers if you nick one and take it to a dodgy garage
Wow. Pretty pathetic really. Why bother releasing this crap, it's just used on the loading screens. I can't believe they haven't released anything substantial since that trailer came out. They should have started off releasing the artwork, then the screenshots, then the trailer; then it would feel like they're actually building to something.
wait gor GTA 5. Game art looks nice. i found Grand Theft Auto V GOOGLE CHROME THEME. wish you all like this. http://www.chromeposter.com/games/grand-theft-auto-v-google-chrome-theme/
Looks cool
wouldnt it be good if grand theft auto games had a variety of weapons comparable to a first person shooter for as well as the standard M4/M16 and AK47 etc why not add weapons like compact carbines such as G36C or AKS 74u which could be usable as drive by weapons just like the SMGs but with the power of an assault rifle and why have different arms dealers for certain weapons for example if you want an hunting rifle or a ithaca 37 type shotgun you can buy em at the local gun shop and if you kalashnikovs, skorpions and uzi's you buy em form some low level arms dealer or buy them friends in a similar way to GTA 4 and little jacob and if you wanna buy hardcore stuff you meet up with international arms dealers or corrupt army personnel and wouldnt it be cool as a random incident when you deal with international arm dealers the FIB or NOOSE get wind of the deal and they try to apprehend you
Venatorcruiser gta do have a variety of weapons...it also have M4/M16 and AK47..."why have different arms dealers for certain weapons" : from what i know, gta games only have one arms dealer....other than that compact carbines and cops getting wind sounds like a good idea....
ravager1989 it makes the arms trafficking more realistic and also in nearly every GTA game they have the same weapons every time why not have those weapons plus many more guns and why not introduce more melee weapons for example bring back katanas and chainsaws or even go to a oriental weapons shop in little seoul such as throw stars and sai's etc
ravager1989 awhat i meant by the standard AK47 and M4/M16 is that they are in nearly every GTA game and usually the only two assault rifles so why not add more weapons list to usual guns seen and have a variety that could rival the amount of weapons to FPS such as CoD and BF games which have good amounts of each categories
Venatorcruiser ravager1989 Great idea! It would be nice if they will include different guns, especially at least more than 2 handguns they usually make.
Ortego13 ravager1989 they should definately add the weapons that were in the GTA 4 dlcs
Venatorcruiser Unfortunately I did not play gta4 dlc. Were there many guns?
Ortego13 on TLAD there was DAO12, sawn off shotgun,berreta 93R, pipe bombs and the combat shotgun was reskinned to look like a M1014 and there was M320 grenade launcher and on TBOGT there was AA12, gold UZI, FN P90, M249, AMT AutoMag model 180 and DSR 1 sniper rifle
Ortego13 my mistake the pistol on TLAD is a CZ 75 and the grenade launcher is a HK69A1
Venatorcruiser Thanks, friend! By the way I liked your idea about different arms dealers - that would, like you said, be more realistic!
Ortego13 yeah it would be realistic because in real life arms dealers who practice in a similar way to little jacob in GTA4 are like the little corner shop or convenience store compared to some of the dealers who work on an international scale are like a supermarket and funnily they sometimes have special offers on weapons which they are overstocked or just trying to get rid off quickly BTW you should TLAD and TBOGT they have good story and on TBOGT you can fly a gold armed scout helicopter
Venatorcruiser They probably dont have licenced guns in the same way they dont have licenced cars. The GTA series has already got a bad rep with people allegedly copying the game in real life. Yeah the guns probably have similar models and names but maybe they're just making it easier to get past the censors.
The idea about the arms dealers is great though. That would be really good. Kinda like what Mafia 2 had with the normal gun shops and that other army guy.
