The last time a reporter brought up Grand Theft Auto V , Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick responded with the quote of the year . But that doesn't mean other people can't speculate on a possible release window.
That goes double for analysts, who know investors are usually waiting to leap aboard the Take-Two bandwagon just before a new GTA hits the market. And according to VG247 , Piper Jaffray's Anthony Gikas has raised his Take-Two stock target from $11 to $15, saying Grand Theft Auto V "is expected" during the company's fiscal year 2011. Said Gikas:
"Our confidence in the company’s profitability profile is improving as product flow for FY 2010 is greatly improved and Grand Theft Auto V is expected in FY '11. Assuming no change to product flow, we expect the company will have 10-plus games that will sell over one million units."
If you need a quick lesson, Take-Two is currently in their fourth quarter for the fiscal year 2009, and that ends on October 31. To say GTAV will launch in "FY 2011" means the game should be available some time between October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2011…which is quite a large release window. But it does get people thinking: might it be available for next year's holiday rush? If so, you can bet that once again, more big-name games will leap into 2012 to get away from a massive blockbuster. …okay, we're getting a little ahead of ourselves here.
GTAIII
Still the best imo
One of the best series! 3 and vice city

I was just playing it a couple of hours ago (going through it again)but yeah it's the best followed by vice city and San Andreas.
Vice City >>>>>> all
@Ben
I gotta agree there. I still haven't gotten myself to finish IV yet! Vice City just had an addictive feel to it. Idk what it is…it IS basically the same thing.
san andreas>>>>>>>>all
yes scarecrow gta 3 was is always will be the best gta game its my personal fav
I hated gta 4 so i will see how the review does before i go out and get it.
…..but GTAIV got great reviews!
That's exactly the problem for me. IV was just ok and yet the reviews were through the roof. When V comes out it will be very hard to trust any reviews.
is the lost and the damned and the ballad of gay tony going to come out on disc for 360 and ps3 or just 360?
360… until all exclusivity deals expire.
I have to concur with World.
Don't want them.
I'm more concerned of getting Agent.
Concept's getting kinda old now, but I always enjoy exploring a new area.
gta 3 remastered like gow 1 and 2 would be explosive.
I'd be on that so fast, the white on rice would be jealous.
Actually, I might have to put GTAV on the old "pick it up later" list because it's going to have to be a multiplat and thus a sufferer of mediocrity.
I hear ya. But, I'm 100% sure I read an article a year or so back stating that GTA4 would be having exclusive content for the 360, as we've seen, while Sony would be getting GTA5 as an exclusive. But it also said that both the 360 and the ps3 versions would be getting common content for GTA4, and we have seen any yet for the ps3…

I just really hope they take their time and give us an extremely polished game (which is likely).
That, and a 70s- or 90s-era Vice City. 'Twould be truly 'Grand.'
Oh, and there's a tiny mistake in the article:
'But it does get people thinking: might it be available for next year's holiday rush? If so, you can bet that once again, more big-name games will leap into 2012'
If it's released next Christmas season, titles will be pushed back to 2011.

Vice City was definitely the best GTA game so far.
Anyone know when the exclusive deal for DLC runs out with microsoft?
Have to say I hate these exclusive deals be it M$ or Sony, but it is M$ that seems to have to rely on these tactics more and more.
You know I enjoyed saints row 2 more than gta4 so while I'm excited for it, I'm just not as excited as I was for gta4
GTA-IV was the best game in the history of video game,i've never experienced this kind of script n story from any video game b4…….
Are you kidding me?
are you new to gaming sabitrulz?
GTA games are so overrated period. GTAIV was the biggest rip off next to Halo 3. They need to innovate alot on GTAV for me to even consider renting. Crazy violence and more violence doesn't make a game fun.
gta actually sucks.the storyline is lame and very predictive.it should be a violent game were you can do different type of crimes like raping your boss' daughter infront of him for revenge or other sort of stuff like that,not just by killing but impailing the other's personal side,body mutilation by use of new weapons such as chainsaw or nailcutter would also be a great idea.now that sounds fun right?lol
