Review | Rockstar Unveils New Grand Theft Auto V

Game

 

 

Rockstar would appear to be accelerating its pre-publicity drive for long awaited gangster sequel, Grand Theft Auto V.

On Monday, the publisher released three new shots from the game on its own news site, showing different types of transport players will use in the adventure. Fans of previous instalments were excited to see that both the bicycle and jet fighter are returning.

But that was only the beginning of a subtle and teasing campaign. On Wednesday, in a post headlined Leisure, the Rockstar site has unveiled three new screens.

 

 

One shows characters dirt biking through a desert environment; another has a game of tennis in the grounds of a lavish mansion, and the best has one protagonist base jumping into a picturesque valley.

The suggestion is that players will be able to indulge in various sports and pastimes in between bouts of anarchic gunplay. The debut trailer for the title, released last November, also included scenes of characters zooming around on jet skis and playing golf.

This time the action is set in Los Santos, the GTA version of Los Angeles, and seems to take place amid movie industry movers and shakers, particularly based in the Vinewood sector – a clear reference to Hollywood, of course.

Rockstar is yet to confirm a release date for the title, though many are expecting an announcement soon, for a 2013 launch. There are rumours however, that the game may be a launch title for the next generation of Sony and Microsoft consoles.

 

Rockstar has delivered five new screens from the upcoming open-world action game. The new images come via a post to the company’s blog titled “Happy Holidays – Enjoy”.
In this diverse new set of screens we see a yellow submarine, a fighter jet, a diver being stalked by a giant shark, a Rottweiler riding shotgun and a single image of the game’s trio of main characters.

Grand Theft Auto V has three protagonists that you can switch between and takes place in a re-imagined, present-day Southern California in the largest and most thriving game-world Rockstar Games have ever created set in the sprawling city of Los Santos and for miles beyond.

Grand Theft Auto V is expected to launch worldwide during spring 2013 (around April/May) for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
