Just last week, Rockstar Games came out of left field and finally made GTA V official. We all knew it was coming, but having a proper reveal was oh-so satisfying.

Now the time has finally come and Rockstar has revealed the first official trailer for the game.

So, without further ado, behold the first official trailer for Grand Theft Auto V!!

Yep, we’re going back to San Andreas.

Stay tuned to RipTen as the story unfolds.

Their website also says that a trailer is coming on 11.2.11, that’s next week!

I can’t wait that long.

In a related story, Rockstar just fucked up everyone’s day. Sorry Battlefield 3.

Former Rockstar Employee Resume Shows GTA V Was in Development in 2009

Dave Oshry — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 05:00:08 +0000

Earlier today we reported that a former Rockstar artist had some shots of Agent on her resume. Well, as it turns out, that very same resume also listed Grand Theft Auto V for a 2011 release.

Now, while we are 99.999% sure GTA V isn’t coming in 2011, it’s interesting to note that the game has been in development since 2009 and that it’s certainly due for an official reveal… at some point.

The listings have since been removed, but here’s a screenshot of the resume and a fancy screenshot from that GTA IV mod everyone likes to play around with:

Stay tuned to RipTen as this story unfolds.

Is a GTA V Announcement Coming Later This Summer?

Chris Carlson — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 06:54:09 +0000

Its been a little over three years since GTA IV debuted on consoles then later on PC. With GTA IV being the highest rated game this generation, gamers are impatiently awaiting the inevitable reveal of GTA V.

In the latest issue of the US OXM, they have a nice little crystal ball on the cover (rumor section) that states what gamers have been waiting for.

Time’s up, says The Ball. Expect Grand Theft Auto V to be announced later this summer.

A little over a month ago, we reported sightings of GTA V being spotted on retail list dated for 12/31/12. The game has been rumored to be set in real world Los Angeles location. With GTA V revisiting Liberty City in a New York City fashion, we could be seeing a new and improved version of the state of San Andreas. Get hyped kiddies it’s coming……..eventually.

Has This Star Studded GTA V Casting Call Been Leaked?

Aaron Alexander — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 06:55:25 +0000

Take 2 have put out a private casting call, presumably to bring in voice actors for a brand new game. The full casting call can be found here, or you can check out the list below. One Character in particular stands out from the rest, entitled “James Pedeaston”;

James Pedeaston was often featured on the radio channel “WCTR” in Grand Theft Auto IV, talking about his desires to make love with young tribal boys. One quote featured on the Call also reassures us that this James is the very same.

James Pedeaston is a child molester wanted in Malaysia and is being investigated by the FBI. He hosted The Wild Traveler show on WCTR in 1992, although it is apparently syndicated to nine other stations (not heard in-game). He enjoys traveling the world and logging some of his most ‘exotic’ encounters in his travelogue, some of which he accidentally reads on-air to the disgust of the listeners. His favourite memory seems to be a relationship with a boy named Avrindar in Sri Lanka. His show appears to be so reviled by his listeners that at one point, he receives few calls which are not supportive. For example, a caller tells him to stop droning on about other countries and focus on talking about where he lives. At one point he received a phone call from a suicidal man in Verdant Bluffs who wanted to go to hell. Pedeaston replies with “Me too! Buy me a refrigerator magnet when you get there”. In GTA IV, he was arrested by the Indonesian police after being suspected of child molesting in Bali, Indonesia in 2003.

Viral Campaigns possibly related with the next Grand Theft Auto have already surfaced, but when you add a casting call with a familiar Character, it’s a safe bet that this casting call is indeed for the next Grand Theft Auto. Let us know what you think of this casting call in the comments below and tell me directly via Twitter – @iamaaronalex

British Tabloid to Pay ‘Substantial Damages’ for GTA: Rothbury Story

Garrett Hartman — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 19:22:31 +0000

British tabloid The Daily Star will pay “substantial damages” due to a reported hoax in which they claimed Rockstar was creating a Grand Theft Auto: Rothbury. Evidently, Rockstar didn’t take too kindly to being connected to the events of a manhunt that occured in Rothbury just recently during July 2010 and decided to sue.

Accompanying the article was an image purported to be the game’s cover which offended many people including relatives of the victims involved in the ordeal. The Daily Star also solicited and published reactions to this cover all without notifying Rockstar before publishing the “hoax”.

There’s an easy lesson learned here: be careful what you print and keep in mind that freedom of the press does not equal freedom from litigation. A simple joke is not worth “substancial damages” – use common sense.

EA’s Top Secret GTA V Screenshot & Tech Demo Discovered

Chad Lakkis — Mon, 19 May 2008 08:40:55 +0000

Many of us have been holding our breath since EA made its initial offer to buy Take-Two, and the company’s comment, stating that they would wait until the release of Grand Theft Auto IV before discussing the offer any further, did very little to ease that sick feeling in our stomachs.

EA, who has been known to tone down the violent content of their games and splurge on in game advertising (as shown above), is set to destroy our beloved Grand Theft Auto franchise. The top secret tech demo showcasing EA’s take on the series is not for the faint of heart.

How could Take-Two ever let something like this happen? The Grand Theft Auto franchise deserves to go down in history as one of the greatest games ever made — remembered for its controversy, not its excessive in game advertising. The horror!

Ok, you got me, this is an obvious satire piece, however it does offer a potential eerie glimpse into the future. Hopefully this crosses the desk of a few key individuals at Take-Two and makes them think twice before allowing EA to place their thumb print on such a beloved franchise.
