Rockstar Drops First GTA:V Trailer
PrintIt’s a great time to be a gamer, but it sure is a hard time to be a gamer’s wallet. Not only did Battlefield 3 just launch last week, but Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Skyrim are due any day now – and time-deprived gamers may not have even finished Deus Ex: Human Revolution yet. Then Rockstar games tossed their hat into the ring with last week’s announcement that they would be releasing a trailer for GTA 5. Well, they just released it, and yes, it looks awesome. We’re heading back to Los Santos, folks.
If history is any indication, PC gamers may be heading back to San Andreas a bit after their console brethren, but we’re holding out hope that a PC version will be available at launch – whenever that is. The super-slick trailer is full of high production values and a dramatic voice-over in which some gravelly-voiced guy laments that he moved out to Los Santos to start being a good guy and “get out of that line of work.” Since this is a GTA game, he finishes his monologue with “Ah, well, you know how that goes” as a group of armed men hop out of a van and heavy music kicks in. Check it out for yourself above and wax nostalgic when the “Vinewood” sign pops up, then wander over to PC Gamer to read their list of the things they want to see in GTA:V. We have to agree: bring back bicycles!

Yeah it's not a big deal. GTA IV always logs me in to Windows Live automatically and I always just click "Play Offline" for the social club.

GTA IV was great, but it's not one of those titles that I absolutely must have the day it comes out. I'll probably wait like I did for IV and grab it during a Steam sale a year or two from now.

I waited for a year to buy GTA IV on PC and by then the bugs were mostly fixed. I'll probably do the same for this one.

Perhaps this'll be an unpopular opinion, but I have never had any problems with any of the GTA ports. I've enjoyed them all. I'm not one to normally say that kind of thing... I'm usually very critical of ports.
Things are looking very good based on this trailer. Having just recently visted Los Angeles, I think I can say with some confidence that Rockstar North has done an excellent job at capturing the feel.

"...and time-deprived gamers may not have even finished Deus Ex: Human Revolution yet."
Ummm...that would be me - but I'm almost done!
I'm a PC gamer only and unfortunately, the previous GTA games that were ported to the PC were crap. So I'll take a wait and see on this one.
Oh yeah - the first 2/3 of that trailer look more like "The Sims" than a GTA game. ;)

I agree they did a shitty job porting GTA 4.... but IMO they did a pretty good job bringing San Andreas over.
