Clues about Grand Theft Auto V could well have been uncovered thanks to a number of newly registered domain names.
While there's no doubt that GTA V will be with us at some point in future, Rockstar parent company Take Two has bought up a number of web addresses that have a very GTA flavour to them.
The sites are: CashForDeadDreams.com, SixFigureTemps.com, StopPayingYourMortgage.net, HammersteinFaust.com and LifeInvader.com.

The domain registrations fit with the usual GTA viral tactic of having real-world representations of in-game businesses and it looks like a lot of them in GTA V will be poking at our current financial woes.
Yesterday 'Grand Theft Auto V' was spotted on an established voice actor's CV, although the action in question has since claimed it was a typo and was meant to say Grand Theft Auto IV.

Not only that, but they have put up a cluckinbell website now. http://www.cluckinbellhappychicken.com/
I'd say an announcement must be coming pretty soon, e3 2011 at the latest is my guess.

I really hope it's a return to '80s Vice City with Tommy Vercetti.

The CV thing was definitely not a typo, merely a little bit too early for him to put it on his CV.
More then sure it was just an excuse to try cover it up before Rockstar get a little too heated on it.
But they are definitely making moves, small ones and near-silent moves -- but it is happening.
E3 by the latest, I agree.

I personally don't want to return to Vice city in the 80's. It's been done now, it was great but never look back, time for something new.
would be nice to have a few 'flashback' missions set in the 80's though, that would be cool - just for the soundtrack alone.
"aaah. I just died in your arms tonight..."

I thought that Rockstar aren't fans of major announcements at E3? It could be announced at any time, but with the C.V and these domains it is looking increasingly likely that it is incoming.

I love rockstar. I hope the next GTA is set in the UK in the 1970's.
Zangriefs_armpit on 28 Feb '11 said:
to the people hoping GTA V will be set in the past, if Rockstar are buying up web domains that poke at the current financial problems it's not likely. Which is a shame.

IMDB shows no sign of him ever working on GTA4. I think he cocked up a reveal and is trying to back-track

What about a GTA where you played the cop? Okay, bear with me here. It's always the same "rise to power" storyline with GTA and it's getting a little stale now. I'd love to play the rookie police officer who has to stop the criminals, maybe by playing undercover sometimes so you still get to do moraly incorrect missions. At least instead of picking up Fat Tony from whorehouse one and dropping him off at drug den two you could do a donut run or attend to a store robbery. I think the possibilities are endless.
I'm also aware of L.A. Noire but I think GTA could do a cop story brilliantly.
slaney on 28 Feb '11 said:
but if you're a cop, how would you justify driving on the pavement with intent to run over countless pedestrians?
craiglackenby on 28 Feb '11 said:
When they announce this game I will jizz myself! I was starting to think it wasn't going to happen but the tiniest bit of info re-enforces that hope.
I can't wait!!!!

I hope its Vice City or San Andreas.
PS2 was too limiting what GTA could really do now with PS3 Vice City or San Andreas using PS3 power would be mind blowing.
If its set anywhere except VC or SA I'll be very disappointed.

The 1970's also had a recession...

MODERN DAY SAN ANDREAS!
Sorry, I just blurt out something like that whenever GTA is mentioned.
Seriously though, we didn't have San Andreas Stories, and I would have liked that.
Or at least the ability to wreak havoc like in San Andreas, jetpacks, fighter jets, crazy cheats, massive, varied landscapes, et cetera. GTA should just be fun like that. The flying cars cheat was great!
Let's hope Rockstar learnt it's lesson from IV (it's a good game, but GTAs shouldn't be that serious).

I bet you a million dollars that GTA: San andreas stories will be a PSP2 game.
orgasmatron on 28 Feb '11 said:
I hope that there will be more freedom. That you can go inside every building. Yes it will be a bigger game and get some more interesting missions. I have prayed for that freedom since gta 3.

literally shaking in excitement for this game to be announced. and to think when it's announced the release date will be months from then not to mention if they delay it

When our as yet unnamed cop is in court for his crimes against the public he can just shrug and say, 'Collateral Damage.'
