Feast Your Eyes on Two New GTAV Screens

By Brian P Rubin | 12 July 2012 | 7 Comments

During a Q&A, Rockstar Games offered up a couple of screenshots of their upcoming Grand Theft Auto V, about which there isn’t much known outside of the fact that it’s, you know, a new GTA game. The questions that prompted the screens, which you can see at the top of this post, were quite simply “What is going on with GTAV” and “Why don’t you give us more news?”

Rockstar offered this reply:

“We are very busy working on the game! Everything is going well, but the game is a huge project. We should have more information and some new assets for you soon.

As we have said before, we have often had long gaps between asset releases on previous games and will continue to do so in the future. We are sorry if you find this frustrating, but please understand, we don’t do this because we ‘don’t care about our fans’ ‘don’t respect our fans’ ‘hate GTA fans etc’ – precisely the opposite! We do it because we want to make sure we only release 100% correct information, and because we want to keep plenty back for the actual game release so there are still lots of surprises when you play it. The only things we care about are that you enjoy the experience of actually playing the game and that we release accurate information. We just have not been in a position to show more of the game than the trailer and will not be for a while yet. We did, however, manage to sneak a quick screenshot out for you… it’s not much, but we thought it was pretty fun.

Then of course our art team said that no single shot could encapsulate the game properly, so they gave us another…

We will try and get some more screens for you soon and then another trailer when we are ready. ”

So there you go. The game looks pretty, for sure, and I’m willing to bet that it’ll be a ton of fun in the same way the last bunch of GTA games have been. Personally, given how many amazing titles are on the way over the next few months, I’m content to wait and see what Rockstar wants to dole out in terms of assets and information. Seriously—you know it’ll be good. Why not enjoy the suspense?

Looks identical if not worse than GTA IV… Disappointed.

I’d love to satiate the hunger in my bioptocs, however on my iPod, all I see in the black inner workings of my heart and soul.

I think it looks pretty awesome. The GTA franchise has always been excellent and impressive. Too bad the next gen consoles arent out. Guessing 360 will have issues running that game looking that good.

i love the way R* goes about PR. the more they work on the game and less on trailers and fancy art stuff the better the final product. it also leaves a lot to be discovered for the player.
