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.
I will wait as long as they want if it at least contains the location.
When I first saw the story I wasnt sure it was real because that five looks fake.
Cant wait.
Can't wait :D I remember when the GTAIV trailer came out and I was just captivated by it.
Green has five letters...
You will play as Kanye West.
About time!
No one V should have all that power.
Fantastic. I get the feeling that the green represents Grove Street, as there are a lot of rumours of a return to Los Santos.
Needless to say, wherever it is set, another GTA game is fine by me.
Edit: I done goofed.

So dose money
Just purchased the GTA Complete Collection from Steam this weekend so been on a bit of a nostalgia trip recently...This news could not have been better timed.
Irish protagonist.
Looks very similar to the font and style used in US currency
DEFINITELY, a latino setting.... That logo "feels" latino. Green as in "green card"!!! LOL!!

The game will take place in the 21th century and you will play as a schizoid man.
Also, it will be set inside Kanye West.
The release date for the trailer is 1102 and in GTA vice city the player has a safehouse called 1102 Washington Street.
also, who was the punk arguing that the next two GTAs wouldn't have numbers in their titles? Yeah. Zing.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAHHHHH!!!!!
