The cool date next year is 12-11-12 (well, I am easily confused with dates in English -- my bet is November 12)

And this will be the release of GTA5 :)

3 cities would be ideal, and not unrealistic, I mean in comparrison to GTA you could have

Los Santos - As big as Alderney + Bohan

City #2 - As big as Algonquin

City #3 - As big as Bohan + Dukes

Multiple medium sized and highly detailed cities + expansive countryside >>>>> 1 massive city
 

SpeedingUptoStop

I'm talking about Tuesdays people haven't picked. Unless people really catch wind of this and the whole calendar fills up.

If no one gets it, will you go with the person who has the closest date?

I'll just put everyones name from that month in a hat. I'm hoping all weeks possible for 2012(March - Dec) get locked down so we avoid that, lol.

April 17th, 2011.

As close as possible to tax day since it has to do with economic pressure and people getting their taxes back will have something to buy.

Tax day isn't when you get your taxes back though, it's the filing deadline. You get your taxes back anytime from January to well after April

Still without luck
uhhh, can I guess the correct answer and say 2013?

Specifically May 24th, 2013.

You guys are out of your mind saying anything before fall 2012.

So when they say the biggest GTA yet do they mean in map size or the things you can do? Hmmm

Who knows, I mean technically a map the size of the smallest island in GTA4 but with every room/building having accessible interiors would be the largest GTA to date

While it's probably true, it's still more of a go-to marketing thing, everybody says their next game in a series is bigger and better.

R* beginning to market a GTA more than a year before its release is incredibly unlikely

Yep. IV was supposed to release 7 months after the first trailer but ended up being 13 because of the delays.

RDR was 11 months I think.

Unlikely, but what the hell.

Trailer showed a pretty polished LA, you might not be crazy. RDR was a May release I think.

Personally I'm gonna rage through traffic. I feel like this game might have some therapeutic properties.

Two Rockstar games in one year is a dream come true. Really hope it does drop next year.

Also, if anyone's in a GTA mood, might I suggest replaying the GTA IV episodes. Been going through them again myself and god damn are they still awesome.

I'm definitely going to replay the GTA4 DLC. But for now I've been revisiting GTA San Andreas for the last 2 days. Mostly out of nostalgia. Not playing missions, just doing stuff like flying the planes, jumping random vehicles off Mt.Chiliad, and goofing around. Still fun!

Indeed.

I had a lot of fun with Gay Tony but the janky aiming and steep difficulty really zap my enthusiasm.
 
It's quite realistic to expect this at the end of next year, but I have an inkling it might just be next May. Just for kicks.

(And I expect the PC version will again be six or so months behind)

Also, completely OT, but I just recently bought EFLC after this trailer reminded me that I hadn't actually bothered to play them, and am currently plodding through The Lost & Damned. In the last mission I played,
Billy got arrested
, and I'm finding it incredibly boring so far. Does it get any better?

Well I understand the frustration in having to stop for hot dogs and getting shot, but my annoyance at the BMXs being removed from GTA IV grew no more than that. It was the actual landscape of San Andreas I missed, and the non-stop entertainment. I find it baffling you couldn't enjoy the game anyway, but each to their own. I'm with you on the mega police chases though, I liked how GTA IV timed your longest one, I had competitions with myself to top it.

Yeah this is still just "one persons fun is another persons non-fun". For me, the landscape of SA (outside the cities) was just empty countryside with nothing to do. I like causing mayhem in the cities. Your idea of non-stop entertainment is my idea of entertainment that's been stopped. They removed what I enjoyed doing outside the main story, making the game worthless to me once I'd completed it, unlike the previous GTA's.

GTA IV put it back.

But yeah, to each their own, which is kinda what I've been saying anyway :)

For what it's worth though, I did enjoy SA's story and characters, so I got my moneys worth at least.

I know. I usually get mine in Feb, I was just thinking it would be funny to come out around the dark days of taxes.

And dammnit, I meant 2012 LOL!
 
With GTA IV and the EFLC seeing the story from multiple perspectives was so cool. I imagine Rockstar really enjoyed that too, but the expansions did not do nearly as well as the main game. That must have been disappointing from a storytelling perspective. If the rumor of multiple playable characters for V is true I think it's a reaction to that. And if that's the case I hope they let you play through each characters campaign individually (and with the option of alternating). It would create a unique experience for each player, especially if your actions as each character affected the other stories. That would certainly be a "bold new direction" for the series.

But LA is by its nature a large spread out city. Also don't forget it's highly likely the map will include LA's smaller satellite towns like Long Beach and Anaheim, possibly San Diego.

The map you are proposing is way too small, smaller than GTA SA, in fact, and leaves very little room for countryside.

I'm hoping for at least a RDR sized map, but obviously more densely populated. Based on this, and if you believe that the trailer supports a more elongated map (covering more of the coast and less inland) the southern boundary could be the International border while the northern boundary could be one side of an inlet created by a cliff face, which characterize the Californian Central Coast. As a minimum I expect Anaheim to Malibu.
