Grand Theft Auto V Message Board older than one year ago

GTA V DLC is coming at some point next year. "For those ready to jump back into the story of Grand Theft Auto V, we have big plans for substantial additions in 2014 continuing Michael, Franklin and Trevor's action, mayhem and unexpected adventures in Southern San Andreas," Rockstar writes in a blog post today.Read more...

No big upsets here: the Spike VGX named Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto V their game of 2013. Other nominees were not named Grand Theft Auto.Read more...

In the wake of a recent video leak, Jared and Naomi discuss the potential of Rockstar's GTA Online Content Creator.

Alfredo and the IGN community decide to have a footrace down the tallest mountain in GTA Online, Mt. Chilliad.

GTA Online, the multiplayer side of Grand Theft Auto 5, will eventually add a content creator first promised in the announcement trailer, but one plucky individual managed to uncover it early, or at least an old version of it, in the current game code.

The above video, from the same individual who discovered potential upcoming DLC packs in the Beach Bum update game code, shows how the content cam works. Spawning weaponry appears to be a snap and even though we don't get to see this YouTuber start up any matches, you can clearly see options for beginning a Race or Deathmatch.

Rockstar Games has yet to announce when the full content creator will be unlocked in GTA Online.

There's something Falling Down-esque about this cop's nervous breakdown in Grand Theft Auto V. He almost gets the squad car out of the driveway with a multi-point back-and-fill move—but then ... he just loses it.Read more...

Buried in the Beach Bum DLC for Grand Theft Auto Online is a smattering of audio files that hint at possible future DLC packs, including mentions of spying, a camera phone upgrade, racing for pink slips and casinos. The audio files were picked up by YouTuber Franken Stein and shared with NeoGAF by Allenous.

There's no word if these audio files are part of something larger, but listening to the disparate, nonsensical voices reminds us of all the family meals we're having this holiday weekend.

Rockstar is bringing holiday cheer to Grand Theft Auto 5 with a couple of discounted pieces of in-game content for GTA Online. Players can celebrate Thanksgiving with half-off deals for all rifles and rifle ammo and attachments, specifically the game's assault, carbine, heavy, advanced and sniper rifle weapons. The sales start tomorrow and last through December 1.

Additionally, Rockstar discounted all black-colored clothing, accessories and vehicle modification items to celebrate Black Friday by 50 percent (though the sale for these items are also good through December 1). The vehicle modification items include window tinting, black license plates and black tire smoke for your car of choice.

Nobody wants your Black Friday discounts, Grand Theft Auto Online. Judging by the comments under Rockstar's news post, most players would prefer an experience boost or news of new and upcoming downloadable content than 50 percent off hunting rifles and black clothing. Read more...

No need for a mod to go Ghost Rider and do justice in Grand Theft Auto V. Just a few tricks here and there, and you are good to go—Los Santos just got a new spirit of vengeance. There's even a tutorial out there, and the only thing missing is Johnny Blaze's chain.Read more...

You could play fetch with your dog in Grand Theft Auto...or, you could use the ball to threaten people and force them to give you their money in a robbery. Because that's possible in this game, for whatever bizarre reason.Read more...

Grand Theft Auto 5's iFruit companion app is now available for Windows Phone devices, completing Rockstar's citrusey journey across the smartphone trifecta.

The iFruit app allows players to customize in-game vehicles, and features a series of Tamagotchi-like minigames starring Franklin's Rottweiler partner-in-crime, Chop. The app originally hit iOS devices in September, followed by an Android release last month.

iFruit is available as a free download.

Bob and Jared take a day one look at the GTA 5 Beach Bum DLC pack.

Grand Theft Auto 5 receives the free Beach Bum update for GTA Online today, and like a beach bum it's already getting comfy on Xbox 360 and PS3. The update's beached on the Xbox Games Store right now, while the PS3 version is accessible through a new title update that has started rolling out on both consoles, according to Rockstar.

Beach Bum brings new vehicles in the form of dune buggies, camper vans, and off-road trucks, while new jobs include beach-based Races, Parachutes, Last Team Standings, Deathmatches, Survivals, and Gang Attacks. The update also brings new weapons with it and some more character customization options, allowing avant-garde citizens to mix up neon surfer ware with tribal tattoos - just go wild, man.

Michael's front gate hold many wonders: not only can it launch cars into the air, but it can also do the same with aircrafts judging by this mythbusting video by DefendTheHouse. And that's not all.Read more...

Rockstar announced that its free "Beach Bum" expansion for the GTA Online component of Grand Theft Auto 5 will hit the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 next week, adding a number of new vehicles, weapons, and missions to the multiplayer fray, along with a fresh batch of character customization options.

GTA Online players will be able to kick back and soak up the rays as they mangle opponents in new beach-themed Races, Deathmatches, Parachutes, Last Team Standings, Survivals, and Gang Attacks. New vehicles include the BF Bifta dune buggy, the Canis Kalahari off-road truck, and the Bravado Paradise camper van. Also making an appearance is the Speeder speedboat, a fan-favorite watercraft that makes its return to the series after last appearing in GTA: Chinatown Wars.

The Beach Bum expansion will hit the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live as a GTA5 title update on November 19.

Rockstar has begun dropping $500,000 in cold, hard, digital cash into Grand Theft Auto 5 players' accounts staring today, the studio announced. The money is meant to make up for Grand Theft Auto Online's rocky launch, and it should be applied to the accounts of everyone who played (or tried to play) Online in October.

The Stimulus Package was delayed in late October, with Rockstar citing persistent bugs that it wanted to iron out before dropping the money in players' pockets. Now that the Stimulus Package has started deploying, it should reach all eligible players by Friday, November 8.

Starting today, you should begin to see money filling up your delicious virtual Los Santos coffers—Rockstar just announced that the GTA Online stimulus package will kick off today.Read more...

Aaand nailed it. That's one unorthodox GTA V stunt move, but it works! XR33P3E11X has more of these in his excellent montage video. Now do a perfect drop from similar heights into a half pipe while riding a bike. That would look neat.Read more...

A new title update on PS3 and Xbox 360 is available for GTA Online. The update - which addresses cloud synchronization issues where players would lose progress, cash, online vehicles and their mods when cloud uploads failed - will trigger the next time you boot up Grand Theft Auto 5.

In addition to the update, Rockstar says GTA Online players should get their first half of the delayed stimulus package money sometime in the next few days. The cash will roll out over the course of a full day, so don't expect the deposit to show on your Maze Bank account right away.

Later this month, GTA Online will get its first content update: the Beach Bum content pack, plus job creation tools. The Beach Bum pack includes four new vehicles, two new weapons and over 300 items, while the job creation tools allow players to create their own custom race and deathmatch variants for use in GTA Online.

Previously ... on Grand Theft Auto V ... There's a slow burn as this game gets to the point of why three characters as disparate as Michael, Trevor and Franklin would or should come together to pull off some astounding heists. That's where the good ol' Lore in a Minute series comes in to help.Read more...

Rockstar has announced that the 500,000 GTA$ compensation for players affected by GTA Online's launch issues should be delivered next week.

Grand Theft Auto V frequently captures the look, vibe and vehicles of the best California-based crime fiction. If you so desire, it's not too difficult to hop into a CHiPs motorcycle or a Joy Ride truck and recreate your favorite cinematic scenes.Read more...

Rockstar Games announced that its planned "stimulus package" update for the Grand Theft Auto Online portion of Grand Theft Auto 5 will launch "early next week" for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

As part GTAO's stimulus package, players will receive a half-million GTA$ via two in-game deposits, the first of which will arrive when title update 1.05 hits next week. The update will be followed by the release of the Beach Bum Pack in November, along with a set of Content Creator tools.

Next week's update was previously delayed as Rockstar sorted out bugs related to the saving of player progress, which arose as a widespread problem following GTA Online's launch in October.

Take-Two revealed today that it has shipped nearly 29 million copies of Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 5 since the game's launch last month.

"The title received stellar reviews, shattered entertainment industry records, and has already sold-in nearly 29 million units to date," Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said. "The extraordinary success of Grand Theft Auto V illustrates the positive momentum in our business and consumers' enduring appetite for the highest-quality interactive entertainment."

Take-Two notes that sell-in numbers for Grand Theft Auto 5 already exceed Grand Theft Auto 4's lifetime units shipped in its first six weeks of release. Grand Theft Auto 5 earned the company $1 billion in three days, breaking the previous time-to-$1 billion sales record set by Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.
