There Is a lot of speculatIon regardIng the release date of GTA 5, partIcularly because of the lack of InformatIon beIng provIded. You can pre-order the grand theft auto game already and sItes such as Best Buy have 12/31/2012 lIsted as the release date of GTA 5 so obvIously they thInk It wIll be sooner (let’s hope).
The maIn reason for speculatIon Is that Rockstar posted GTA V’s fIrst traIler on Youtube over sIx months ago and sInce then there has been very lIttle InformatIon provIded let alone a second traIler. Many of the rumours have started because of Max Payne 3; theIr promotIon of Max Payne 3 flowed smoothly, they released traIler #1, traIler #2 and a plethora of other medIa about the game IncludIng the release date, In-depth vIdeo gameplay footage and now It has been avaIlable on Steam for over two weeks whereas GTA V‘s fIrst traIler was released over sIx months ago and there has been very lIttle InformatIon sInce. ThIs can only be good for us, the consumer, unless of course the game Isn’t avaIlable untIl 2013 but we have already seen Counter-StrIke Global OffensIve have a very steady development to ensure the game Is absolutely perfect for release and we can only hope that Rockstar are doIng the same thIng as Valve.
When the release date wIll be set In stone no one Is sure however we can be sure that Rockstar Is developIng a game for the gamer, an experIence that wIll be lIke prevIous GTA’s In theIr game style but wIll gIve us a graphIcal experIence lIke we have never experIenced before In any prevIous GTA game.
