Man..... i can't wait for this game. I'm so hyped about it and it's not even been announced. I'm such a huge fan of GTA4, VC and SA. They rank as my top 3 favorite games of all time (GTA4 first, VC 3rd).
GTA now has and always will have a special place in my heart
And i think it does in a lot of others, too. The gtaforums.com GTA5 section has already had 150,000 posts - thats an incredible amount of posts for a game not even announced, on an unofficial forum. Infact one thread called Genesis was started on 9th July 2011, and has already mustered up over 10,000 replies.
This is one of the largest and most lucrative franchises ever created. GTA4 broke the $500m sales mark in just 7 days. The console base is now over twice as large as it was then, so i can only imagine what kind of a budget Take Two are happy to give Rockstar Games - $100m to $200m ? thats quite possible. GTA4 cost 100m and GTA5 is going to be a bigger and better version of that.
The best thing about this situation was despite GTA4 being a superb game in my eyes (I know many people prefered VC and SA), it has so little content that the developers have a huge amount of undone stuff to bring to the next game:
Customizable Cars
Customizable Weapons
New location, both rural and urban
Planes
God knows what else...
So yes, i'm pretty **** psyched about this game. Whatever i am supposed to be doing on release date is already cancelled, i know that much.

Although i do have access to the Games Programming department, full of Alienware PC's, 360's and PS3's. So i could just take the game in to uni.
