GTA V box cover incoming, new art arrives


Rockstar love teasing us by trickling Grand Theft Auto 5 information out on their official blog, which this weekend included an update in their digital download section. Fans can now find all the GTA V art released to date, and this includes the artwork we’ve featured above called The Trunk. Some of the pictures have already been seen at game stores across the US and UK, although only now can you download everything from the download section on Rockstar Games. You’ll find screensavers, icons, avatars, wallpapers, and a lot more.
Not to be confused with the recent Game Informer magazine cover, it seems that Rockstar will be revealing the official GTA V box cover later this month. In the recent blog post, Rockstar told fans to “stay tuned for lots more ahead“. They also mentioned that not only will more artwork be revealed this month, but also gamers can look forward to GTA V’s official box art in January.

Do you have a favorite GTA 5 screenshot? Feel free to share the artwork and screenshots that you’ve loved the most over the last year. Have you been making use of the official download section?
In case you missed it – we featured a screenshot that included a dog-riding shotgun at the end of December, and this opened up some ideas for the role of dogs in GTA 5. This week we also featured one incentive that signaled a possible release date in March, although it wouldn’t be the first time a pre-order poster has made such a claim, and in our opinion March isn’t the month and gamers should look towards late April or early May.

'Grand Theft Auto' drives to Southern California


SAN FRANCISCO — Unabashedly criminal Grand Theft Auto is heading for the virtual streets of Southern California in a new installment of the blockbuster videogame franchise.
Take-Two Interactive Software publishing label Rockstar Games said Thursday that Grand Theft Auto V is in the works. A trailer providing a glimpse at the videogame was available online atrockstargames.com.
"Grand Theft Auto V is another radical reinvention of the Grand Theft Auto universe," said Rockstar founder Sam Houser. "We are incredibly excited to share our new vision with our fans."
Grand Theft Auto V is set in a fictional city of Los Santos based on real-world Los Angeles and its nearby hills and beaches.
The videogame franchise has won legions of fans and cadres of critics with game play in which triumph depends on acts such as carjacking, gambling and killing.
Play in Grand Theft Auto games has included simulated sex with prostitutes and drunken driving.
The franchise's appeal is fueled by captivating story lines and an open-world format that lets players go whereever they wish in game worlds.
Rockstar said that Grand Theft Auto V "focuses on the pursuit of the almighty dollar" in a re-imagined Southern California and promised "bold new direction in open-world freedom, storytelling, and mission-based game play."
The game will also let people play with or against one another online.
More than 114 million copies of Grand Theft Auto have been sold worldwide since the first version was released in 1997, according to New York City-based Take-Two.
Grand Theft Auto IV blew away videogame and Hollywood records by raking in an unprecedented 500 million dollars in the week after its release in April 2008.
A release date for the new version of the game was not disclosed.

GTA5 footage leaks, appears to be fake



Leaked footage' has found it's way onto YouTube, showing the first glimpse of Grand Theft Auto V.
Text appearing over the video reveals the setting to be "Honolulu and the surrounding area" and claims there is "more open land than in GTA SA!"
Supposedly leaked to GTALEAKER1 by an employee of Rockstar, the poor quality footage shows a title screen with the shadows of two palm trees in front of a setting sun. A blurred screenshot follows, depicting a character standing in an urban area populated with more palm trees.
The gameplay itself shows a white car driving about a green environment, but severe blurring and pixelation makes it hard to make out anything more than this.



VideoGamer.com Analysis

The video is almost certainly a fake. It's not hard to hold a camera at a screen, even if you're trying to be sly about it. It almost seems as if the cameraman was intentionally waving the camera about to mask what was actually on the screen.
It's more likely that some clever clogs has photo-shopped a title screen, blurred a screenshot from a similar game, and done as terrible a job as possible filming a moving car from the same game.
We don't believe it for a second, but you're free to make up your own minds.
