How long is V in development really

San andreas and vice city were basically dlc but they were only brought out on discs because well there wasn't any other way back then. So we could probably expect another 2 titles maybe after GTA V pretty soon

hmm... wise words of a crackhead

Maybe they made a mistake showing trailer #1 earlier, past is past anyways we're close for the release.

It's plausible they were working on V while they worked on the DLC. The DLC probably holds beta V information (IE Parachute, Buzzard, ect.)

I did post this already in a thread earlier, but the posters that Rockstar released last year, has

2008-2013 written on it.

I think they started even before gta4 was released and probably they are already working on gta6.

I'd say a couple months after IV was released they started to get it properly started but it would be part time. Probably just travelling to LA to check it out and take photos/videos. Once they got back they'd create the map then start writing the story and creating the characters. It would be slow up until late 2009/early 2010 after the DLC came out. That's probably when they went into full development but didn't announce it officially until October 2011. At that point it will have been in development for ~3 years. It has been officially in full development for ~18 months now.

 

I'd say, in total, it's been in development for ~4 years 4 months up until today and will probably go gold in August so altogether will be about 4 years 8 months. That's just a guess but it could easily be in development for over 5 years by the time August rolls around. Nobody knows except Rockstar but I'd say it will be AT LEAST 4 and a half years total to develop it.

Wrong. The story was written FIRST it's always first, then they go and take thousands of reference photos then create the map.

Anyway, I believe they started May 2009 because that was when evidence started appearing that Rockstar were in L.A. taking photos. There was a thread on here way back discussing it.

You are correct icon14.gif

 

Rockstar started development of GTA V in 2009, because Dan Houser said so himself in an interview back in October 2009. At that time, he stated that they had just begun writing the script and gathering ideas for the protagonists and main characters.

They will have been.

 

The guys who code mission scripts will have been working on DLC while the map was still being put together.
