E3 2012: Where was Grand Theft Auto V?

Mike Villarreal

E3 has come and gone, and many are still talking about it. The one question that continues to come up is where was Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto V? Rumors surfaced earlier last month, that the developer had no plans to attend this year’s convention. The “Big Three” press conferences came and went, and no new footage of GTA V was anywhere to be found.

Many believe that Rockstar’s “no show” at this year’s event is proof that the title will not be released until next year. Despite, earlier reports leaked from a Rockstar Lead Artist’s resume that claimed the game was coming out October of this year.

Many industry analyst believe that the game will more than likely be released between April and May of next year. Which does the Rockstar MO, being the last four big titles were released in that exact same time period: Max Payne 3 (May), LA Noire (May), Red Dead Redemption (May) and even GTA IV (April). Since the time frame has been working quite well for Rockstar Games, there is no reason to believe they would change it now.

While there is still no new news on GTA V, there is a rumor floating around that fans can expect a new trailer some time shortly.

Yeah…a “rumor” of an upcoming trailer. That rumor has been going on for so long that I just stopped keeping track of time. When something from Rockstar related to GTA V is released, whenever that will be, I will say “About f***ing time” no matter what. Until I know when the next trailer will be released, I will say Rockstar released their first trailer too early. They should have waited until around Max Payne 3′s release, if not just a little before it’s release, that way any post that Rockstar makes on facebook isn’t all fans going “GTA V!!”. There’s no doubt that the GTA series fanbase is bigger than the Max Payne series. Some people commenting on Rockstar’s posts claim that they’re patient, but I doubt all of them really are, especially after E3.

I don’t know what Rockstar has up their sleeve, but it seriously better be worth the wait because the demand for any sort of information is high right now.

I’m not done with GTA IV yet, nor Red Dead Redemption so I think it’s nice of Rockstar to give me some time to catch up in the GTA-o-sphere!

Its been 4 years. twice the time period on releasing games. it could be may next year, who knows? all i know is i am tired of this bull and i have stopped counting down the days for this game, i have been counting on Assassins Creed 3 and Sleeping Dogs, and Watch Dogs too but this game hasnt even put in one new trailer or anything but i saw this on another post and i was thinking this game could introduce that RPG element that people want since they played san andreas.
Cops will chase speeding players
