You Will Get to See a Grand Theft Auto V Trailer In VIII Days

Rockstar blurts out the existence of its latest Grand Theft Auto game via a logo post--demands us to wait a week to see a trailer.

No Caption Provided

It's been one of the worse-kept secrets in the game industry for the last few years, and now it's not even a secret at all. Rockstar Games dropped the news in appropriately clandestine fashion this morning that Grand Theft Auto V does, in fact, exist.

The posting on Rockstar's official site doesn't tip much. All we have thus far is a logo (which you can see here) that uses both Roman numerals and the spelled out version of "five." It's got green in it, too. Feel free to start speculating wildly about any of those obscure details.

You thankfully won't have to speculate for too long, as a trailer for the game will debut on November 2. Granted, it's unlikely that Rockstar will show too much of its hand with a first trailer, but we might at least get a sense of setting, and possibly who the lead character might be. Or maybe it'll just be two-and-a-half minutes of that logo set to random dialogue and a Kanye West song. Who knows?

Be sure to set your appointment calendars to next Wednesday. Odds are you won't want to miss this one...even if it does just turn out to be a logo and Kanye.

@Joeybagad0nutz: I would fucking love that...

Although I doubt it. I just hope we don't play as another gangster moron like CJ.

Green means....Ireland??? FUCK YEA BABY!!! Gonna be partyin in dublin tonight! (Or possibly main character is Irish) In my opinion the story parts with the Mcreary family were some of the best parts of GTA IV

The green looks like american money, so I can see it happening in D.C.

...Looks like money. My vote? GTA's version of Washington, DC.

How's that for some controversy?

That's what I was thinking and that would be badass. After seeing the LA rumors, I got bummed out. Hopefully Kotaku and their source are bullshitting.

@BestUsernameEver: You might be right, but part of me really wishes I am right, because I really enjoyed the irish criminal world in GTA IV.

Am I the only one who doesn't really want it to be the same ole' San Andreas gangsta setting, or even California in general for that matter? Washington D.C. sounds cool though.

Proof positive that it will be set in fictionalised LA where reptilian aliens wearing fake human skin invade.  It will also mark Jayce Hall's return to gaming.

Ehh, I think it would be more interesting in Ireland, or at least an Irish character, the american scene seems played out to be honest.

Yeah, everyone knows you must adhere to internet emoticon safety laws. If you don't, every keyboard you touch - in this lifetime - will melt into a goopy mess.

Awesome.

GTA games got me into gaming and although IV wasn't as 'fun' as the previous ones, what it did do was superb, so I will be counting down the days till this one. I just couldn't get into IV's expansions because by the time they came out I was bored of the city and the graphics had started looking outdated. I'm guessing they'll probably use most of the tech from LA Noire for this?

So i'm hoping for a larger area for starters and yeh i'd put money on it being somewhere we've already seen in the GTA universe. I'd love to see London but I doubt that'll happen. Whatever they do, it'll be great and i'll buy it.

I think I know what city they are trying to hint at!!!!

The text and color of the lettering resemble a US dollar bill---> WASHINGTON DC

I Have not read any of the other comments, but I hope I am the first one to post this news....

Yea, i think it will be sweet to have a character impacting more of a pollitical and rough town.

Green has five letters...

So dose money

I think the whole green V and styled five has more to with money than anything else... The five logo just looks like something you'd see on an American note, although this really doesn't say much if the game is based around money... So anyway, I'm vaguely agreeing with what ELpork is saying/implying.

They will never do this, but I would love if they revisited GTA2's near-future setting. Or go all out and set it in some cyberpunk city. Or even go overseas. Enough with the direct-parody US cities I say.

if rockstar takes small step back with the gta series (*cough*sanandres*cough*) then they could easily have a BIG wier on there hands, even more so than their most recent games combined.

To me the green looks like the green of the Grove Street families from San Andreas. I would prefer to see Washington but feel that LA seems more likely -- so long as they give us something new akin to how Liberty City changed I'm sure it will be great either way
