Why I think R* are hiding two major things...

[Forzum]

I will go with what I often say about these kind of topics.

 

I am sure Rockstar has more to tell us, probably another city or something.

 

First to go with that "I have to be real careful" statement from Dan almost confirms that there is more to be told, since the question was about the map he could have just went with "L.A. and the surrounding countryside" only, why would he go with "I have to be.." if there really is nothing more to be told/held secret?

 

Also Rockstar confirmed EXACTLY what we saw. Still it might only be that, but I'm thinking more like this:

 

If rockstar has a surprise, they would want it to be reveled some later time to hype it all up more and to give us more info.

 

Telling " L.A. and the surrounding countryside" = People will believe that this is it, but if they then go out with a trailer showing some other city for an example Las Venturas, people would go nuts, and get 9999 times more hyped for it.

 

I believe that they have something planned for us, something to do with the map of GTA V.

i envy you sir, lmaoo.

 

what you said is exactly what i think is going to happen.

 

here is what i think they might do with the trailers

 

1st trailer ls

2nd trailer sf + storyline + characters

3rd trailer lv + more stroryline + more characters + features

4th trailer ls+sf+lv + more of everything

5th trailer (release trailer)

= profit.

In regards to Dan Houser's comment:

 

The question was "can you tell us more about GTA V".

 

Not "can you tell us where GTA V is set".

 

Why can't people understand this?

Actually they asked him what he can say about the map. And that was his answer + "it will be huge"

"Game Informer: You just released the GTA V trailer. Can you talk about that project in any respect? Obviously, it looks like it's going back to San Andreas.

 

Dan Houser: I've got to be real careful here, or they will drag me through the office and whip me with barbwire. I will stick to exactly what's in the press release. It's Los Santos and the surrounding countryside - and a very big map."

 

 

You have to have some pretty big balls to lie like that.

Touché, though Dan was talking about the San Andreas-thingy. But what he says is somehow a bit...weird. He said "It's Los Santos and the surrounding countryside" - yeah, that's what was written in the PR, but: "and a very big map" <- that wasn't in the PR, so it's probably something that we don't know. I don't want to say that we'll see LV and SF, too, but the way Dan said it lefts space for more than "just" LS and countryside.

Telling " L.A. and the surrounding countryside" = People will believe that this is it, but if they then go out with a trailer showing some other city for an example Las Venturas, people would go nuts, and get 9999 times more hyped for it.

So first they disappoint you by just announcing LS, while knowing this will upset people expecting the entire state of SA, and then they surprise you by revealing that you'll get LS+SF+LV anyway? Do you seriously not realize how childish this would be? Most people would just find that frustrating, misleading and pretentious, not get 9999 times more hyped.

Plus the element of surprise regarding a entire state went with San Andreas.

[tommzy2]

well "can you talk about that project in any respect" translates to "can you tell us more about GTA V" pretty much the same thing. and yeh samsuxx you were off by a bit. besides, all dan houser really talked about was the map anyways, so their question wasn't really answered because all Dan said was "its LS+Countryside and a big Map"

 

i think i know what he might have done, the person asking the question thought that it was going to be all of San Andreas but the people at Rockstar didn't want people to know that it was 100% going to be San Andreas, so on the press release they wanted Dan to say that its going to be Los Santos and the Countryside + a big map just incase a question like this came up.

So they don't want to confirm other places just as yet because they want to build up more hype once they show off sf or lv in their next trailer.

just my thoughts though, i could be wrong and it could very well be just LS and Countryside.

 

 

 

[LotusRIP]

They never confirmed there only being 1 city, and in a game that has countryside and mountains, its pretty obvious there has to be a reason to travel through the countryside... To get to another city

[Gtaghost22]

GTA V will be on PC and current gen consoles (PS3,Xbox 360).. The map will be HUGE. And the story and gameplay will be EPIC!! , i have faith in R*

[cherrycola]

They never confirmed there only being 1 city, and in a game that has countryside and mountains, its pretty obvious there has to be a reason to travel through the countryside... To get to another city

Or to get around the mountain... They did say that the game takes place in a re-imagined southern California, so let's limit our theories to cities in the southern parts of California, shall we?

[kesta195]

TBH if they revealed LV and SF later on they wouldnt have lied to everyone, they just said it's heading to LS and the surrounding countryside. The inclusion of SF and LV wouldn't change this. They could just be being deliberately secretive and slightly misleading.

[abottig]

The Housers are sneaky snakes aren't they? They are withholding too much info from their game, like, will it be as disappointing as GTAIV?

Funny. The only people I know who think IV was disappointing are people on this forum.

 

Otherwise, myself and everyone I know think IV was easily the best GTA ever.

 

Maybe I'm just old (almost 27)?

[AfroCrew2022]

People who think Max Payne is a marketing tool: your ignorance to gaming outstands me.

I'm pretty sure it's the other way around; GTA:V was/is quite clearly used as a marketing tool for MP3.

Go f*ck your self stupid mother f*cker some people like max Payne some don't stop being a bitch and f*ck juevos benedicto for yesterday

LOL

 

I like you.

Thanyou it means a lot

[TyphoonJames]

is it safe to say that they are housing too much info?

I see what you did there...

[tommzy2]

gta sa was the most fun gta ever

gta iv was the best looking gta ever and a stepping stone for the future of gta.

[Jacko427]

I think it was just to avoid the disappointment of not having LV and SF. As for the platform issue, I think that they just want us to keep checking their website for this information, thus highering the fan-base for MP3. Whether this will actually work or not, we will have to see. I know it hasn't worked on me in the least.

May I ask why you have this hidden rage for Max Payne 3?

 

Most posts I've seen of yours that mention MP3 are just pure negativity.

 

I'm not saying you're not entitled to your opinion, but MP1 and 2 were fantastic games ahead of their time back in 2001/2003, I can't believe people actually hate Max Payne

I don't like it because it isn't open world, and is just a boring action shooter. Also, I hold a grudge with R* because I believe they are using V to heighten the fan-base for MP3.

Lol, they use V to heighten the fan-base for MP3?

Tbh, I don't like that sh*t and I can't be bothered to stay hyped for an non-open world action sh*t.

If they never say or show that it will be all of SA and say that it will be "LS and surrounding countryside" that is the statement people will go by. But if they then later on show us more city's or something people would get more hyped.

 

If Rockstar would have said "GTA V will be set in San Andreas" and then say "It will only be in LS...:" if that would be the case, then yeah people would get upset, but if the other way around, people would get more hyped for it.

 

Doubt anyone would be frustrated etc for Rockstar just telling us it's only LS and then reveal that it is in fact more than just LS.

 

 

Just look at GTA SA trailers.

 

First trailer showed LS only.

 

Second one showed SF & LV as well.

 

Still then it was known that it would be all of San Andreas before trailer #2 rolled out, but still for the people who just watched the trailer 1, and then saw the 2nd with more landscape, I bet they got hyped by a lot more, I know I did.

 

[C2H5OH]

Yup, someone of Rockstar also said this in a interview some years ago.

They didn't have to say anything at all, people could already see that the game's location is LS and surrounding countryside by looking at the trailer. They have given us several major hints at what the location is going to be like, and you just refuse to take them.

Technically the GTA IV-V Era is compeltely new from the old GTA III era.. so perhaps San Andreas was "re-designed"

 

So Instead of containing SF and LV.. It now has a San Diego type city WITH a mexican border?

 

It would make sense, since they said it takes place in a location LIKE Southern California..

[cherrycola]

 

I am a moron.

 

Another one who simply won't take a hint.

That is quite possible. If it includes SF though, it won't be a re-imagined southern California, it would only be a re-imagined California. SF is in the northern part of California, and there is no landmarks or anything particularly worth mentioning north of SF.

Same here. Everyone I know in person thinks GTA IV is a great game. Some agree that it could've been better, but no one I personally knows thinks it's "disappointing" or a bad game like some on the internet think.

 

Anyway I'm thinking the platforms will be officially announced with the next lot of info. I mean it's just common sense that it'll be on PS3, 360 and PC. R* don't really need to confirm something the fanbase already knows.

 

To me the trailer was more of a teaser and the next one will probably be more "official" hence the platforms will probably be revealed then.

[MIKON8ERISBACK]

The PS3 and Xbox 360 are gonna see at least two additional GTA games after GTA V. Just look at the release date patterns in the past:

 

PS3 Launch: November, 2006.

GTA Vice City Stories PS2 Port: March 2007.

 

Use that as an example of why I think the current generation isn't going anytime soon.

That doesnt really mean anything I doubt there will be two more gtas I'm thinking rockstar is going to go all out with this game as it is probably the last major title for this gen of consoles the arrival of next gen consoles will probably be sometime around 2013 and I think rockstar would like to get a headstart this time to release a new gta for a new system sooner than they did for this gen(grand theft auto 4)
