Reports are hitting the web of an apparent former Rockstar North animator, Alex O'Dwyer, who's résumé on Google Docs contained the released date of Grand Theft Auto V. His listing was quickly removed earlier today, but not before a screen grab was taken.
The résumé posting showed the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC versions all supposedly set to release sometime in October 2012. With nearly every past Grand Theft Auto title since GTAIII releasing in October (apart from Grand Theft Auto IV) this 'leak' could either be legit or simply an educated guess.
But as with all unofficial Grand Theft Auto pre-release information, take it with a grain of salt.
Youtube user CreativityZone has done a wonderful job of recreating the Grand Theft Auto V debut trailer using San Andreas. The video compares the Los Santos of the past with the new modern-day Los Santos we will see in GTAV, with a bit of humor mixed in as well.
The visuals have come a long way since 2004 haven't they?
Hey all you hip young kids out there, we're finally on Facebook and Twitter. Don't worry, we won't flood you with tweets about Justin Bieber's baby and Jersey Shore (we have our personal accounts for that). No, instead we will be keeping you up to date on the latest GTA news and what's going on with the site.
We plan to fully integrate this into the new site, but for now feel free to follow us or even send over some thoughts you may have. Just don't ask us for advice about cooking a Thanksgiving turkey, we hate turkey.
With GTAV announced, we have made some big plans for the site. We are hoping to be back in the full swing of things within the next couple of weeks, but we can't do it alone, we need your help!
We're currently in the process of creating an entirely new skin and back-end. Along with that, we also have plans of completely revamping nearly all of the content on the site and of course adding much, much more. All while providing you the latest GTAV news and info on a daily basis. This is why we are currently looking for new staff members to help out.
Are you passionate about the GTA series? Wish to help with content and daily news? Have basic writing and grammar skills? Most importantly, spare time? Then you're just the kind of person we're looking for!
If you think you're up for it, send us an email over at Webmaster[at]gtaunderground[dot]com along with some articles you've written, favorite GTA title, and just a little bit about yourself. We are in desperate need of help, so send us an email and we'll get back to you!
Bright things are on the horizon. Stick around and see what happens!
The first official trailer for Grand Theft Auto V has hit the web. Set in a modern day San Andreas, GTAV appears to be a massive playground of crime and fun. Check out the trailer below.
In the trailer you'll see everything from dogs, jet-skis, what appears to be Mount Chiliad, planes, golf, convertible cars and much more hidden away. There are even rumors of the main character, seen at 0:40, could be an aged Tommy Vercetti. Of course nothing is confirmed yet. Only time (and more info) will tell!
Well this may not come as a surprise, but I have decided to officially archive the site. I really don't have the time nor the passion to keep it going these days.
It's been a great 7 years. Wow, 7 years...
Anyway, I just want to say some thank yous, as lame as that may sound...
Thanks to everyone who emailed me. Rather it be for help, feedback, and everything in between. I loved hearing from people who viewed the site.
Thanks to Rockstar Games, for making such a great video game series and keeping close with the fan sites. I've got more stickers than I know what to do with thanks to you guys.
Thanks to the old school GTA webmasters. I've known you guys for years, and most of you have helped me out at some point or another.
Thanks also to every GTA site I've been affiliated with. Lots of really cool guys out there, and I'm glad to have met them.
And last but not least, thanks to all of you. I'm glad you all stopped by, and I hope you got something out of the visit.
The site will remain fully "as is", so feel free to visit for any old items you may need in the future. I really enjoyed working on the site, and I will miss it.
If anyone would like to send comments about the site, or if you would like to request a staff position, feel free to email me at Webmaster[at]gtaunderground[.]com.
I would love to keep the site going, I just can't do it myself.
Thanks again.
Justin "Laz" Burrow and the entire GTA Underground staff.
