Potentially damaging GTA 5 rumors

As we await the second trailer for GTA 5 fans of the franchise look for any miniscule of news they can find because it’s been a little thin on the ground, the reason for this is due to the fact Rockstar not wanting to share too much information. Having said that they have said another trailer will be released in the coming months – just hope we learn more than we did with the first? There has been a rumor that the producers of Grand Theft Auto V have let some details slip, which suggests the game will not have as much action and excitement in it and will instead concentrate on more minigames.

The article here certainly looks to be the real deal but it doesn’t take much reading to see that this is a joke. Some gamers point out that the article can be potentially damaging and it’s easy to see why, especially considering the amount of people believing it. There have been a number of comments regarding the article, some say that if they wanted to play a console game like GTA with less action then they would play with the iPhone, while others just find it all a bit of fun.

Potentially damaging GTA 5 rumors

People need to realize before they go ahead and write a joke article, just do it on Aprils Fools Day or it will be a while before you are forgiven, especially with a game like this. Having asked a few of our readers they said they didn’t even get past the title to realize it was a load of garbage, but once they read the part about trying to get people to work out more within the game was when they gave up reading all together.

Before gamers get too angry let’s just take a step back before saying such rumors could be damaging to a game becasue the source is a parody website and is known for such articles, so it was only a matter of time before GTA V got the same treatment so many other subjects have.

What was your reaction when you heard, did you believe it or know right away that it was a joke?

In other GTA V related news Amazon has begun to take pre-orders for Rockstar’s next Grand Theft Auto game and there’s also news that a PC version is also on the way. The developer is not stupid and realizes they will sell a huge amount of copies and there is also the possibility that modders will be able to do much more with GTA V on the PC.

We do wonder why some gamers doubted this, as Grand Theft Auto has always been on the PC, so why should the next game in the series be any different?

    I liked making cj buff or fat and the way you can change his appearance. Made the game more in depth. When they took that out in gta4 I was a little disappointed. I just hope gta 5 has it all :) this will be such an epic game. Please hurry up and come out already :D

    There is absolutely nothing to worry about, GTAV will meet & exceed all expectations. People who have played Rockstar games for years already know this.

      “People who have played Rockstar games for years already know this.”
      What a load of drivvel you spout sir. since San andreas we loyalists have bought Liberty city stories, Vice city Stories, GTA IV, and Episodes from Liberty city. That’s four games we have BOUGHT. About £100 per loyalist just to be let down time after time. They concentrate too much on profit and don’t care about their gamers anymore.
      I am evidently thick as hell because I’ll still have GTA V on day of release.

      Do not get expectations up, this game WILL NOT be San Andreas. It will be a very dumbed down version of ONE city from San An. Not all 3.

      Blind Loyalty = $$$ for Rockstar.

        LC and VC Stories were meh, and GTA IV and the Episodes weren’t bad at all.  IV has a higher metacritic rating than San Andreas (which is my personal favorite, before you flame me).  And you forgot about Chinatown wars, which was also great.  Just because YOU didn’t like them doesn’t glorify them as disappointments.
           
             As for your comment about expectations, it won’t be SA, but I don’t get your bull about it being a “dumbed down” version of LS.  That’s like saying the smaller, but better, version of LC from IV is dumbed down.  Not to mention Rockstar hasn’t lied about its games yet.  They said IV would be different, smaller, more detailed, and it was.  They’ve now said that V would be the biggest map and a huge leap forward in the series.  It’s got a Roman Numeral for a reason.
             It’s not blind loyalty if the company consistently delivers great experiences.  It’d be blind loyalty if you supported CoD when they haven’t changed engines, let alone gameplay, in over six years.

    shame GTA 4 was so crap in comparison to san andreas id say it was 1% as good

    • Hvd9334p

      LMFAO, i agree, da only reason why people even bought GTA4 is cuz it had HD graphics

    • Biggysmallz

      good shout micheal. GTA4 was pretty pants, seemed to take all the fun stuff out in order to make a gritty crime game, which apparently is what people wanted. God knows why?? the GTA series prior to 4 was so good because it was genuinly fun. If 5 is gonna be like 4, im sticking with saints row!

    • Dannywatts

      yes michael scofield im currently on the last episode of season one for the second time and gta 4 was shite and san andreas is still my fave all time game!

  • Fritz Fitzgerald having a fit

    You have to be thick to believe that article.
    And I’m talking (and I’m walking) really thick to believe that – there’s even a snapshot from what appears to be San Andreas.
    Forget it people, Rockstar has said we must wait until after Max Payne 3 is released before we hear real information.
    Cos i’m talkin down town

  • Gok Wan

    It’s all about the confidence

  • GrammarMan

    This is pitifully written.

  • Smoke3049

    Why would or could this be any different? simply put … we got screwed with the pc release for red dead redemption that never happned

  • Ericburnett90

    Call of Duty is goin down. I cant wait for this game

  • hungryherbert

    lololololol. any dummy who believes that load of trash is high on something heavy man. Thats just not right. who in their right mind would believe less action is a good tactic for a game based on intense action…. LOVE the article. gave me a load of laughs… ROCKSTAR WE LOVE YOU< AND YOUR TRUE FANS WILL ALWAYS BE AT YOUR SIDE. DESPITE ANY BULLSHIT THROWN OUR WAY.  ;)

  • Kevin

    I can’t understand how this website consistently manipulates information.  They never said they’d announce a new trailer in the coming months, they said they’d announce new DETAILS in the coming months.  There’s quite a difference, just like there’s a difference between a rumor about BF3′s All-American map pack, and it’s confirmed, like you also claimed.  Get your facts right before you publish articles.

    Will we be able to be a man or woman? Some awesome games have that option and I’d love it as an option for GTA.

  • Anonymous

    im tired of fake news about gta 5, i mean rockstar is  giving nothing to all the fans that expect some information

    • Kevin

      To be fair, Rockstar does this quite often with its games.  At least they’re telling us WHEN they’ll announce stuff, rather than forcing some to google search GTA V every day for new info.  But I do take your point.

    The article was preface/titled: “Not Necessarily News”

    Who was confused about this? And seriosuly guys? It’s freakin’ GTA. When’s the last time GTA “failed”?

    • Duffsman

      GTA 4 FAILED

      • Matt_chowie1

        Gta 4 was the most successful and critically acclaimed gta ever made, I don’t think Rockstar north will loose any sleep about YOU thinking its a fail lol

      • http://profile.yahoo.com/GMDQOJX744STVH7RZADEVZNMF4 Bob

        I’ve seen this assertion before, but you have no argument to back that up.

        Having played 3 GTA’s (3, 4, and Chinatown Wars) I personally saw no clear difference in tone. The stories have always been rather serious and gritty; the graphics finally caught up in 4 so everyone made a big deal out of it. 4 had the best shooting and driving gameplay IMO, best technically performance and presentation (my opinion not needed), and a fantastic story I would compare to famous crime movies like The Godfather (obviously not quite as good as the Godfather, but very good nonetheless).

        Sorry they didn’t have jets or working out minigames, but none of the rest of us cared about that. GTA 4 was awesome and I’m sure 5 (if it ever comes out) will be as well.

    • Duffsman

      GTA 4 FAILED

  • Bookworm

    I don’t quite get this article. First of all, Robotgeek isn’t a parody website, it’s a gaming site. Secondly, it does say, “Not Necessarily News” on that article, which does suggest it isn’t too be taken seriously. And third, one parody news article is not in the slightest bit damaging to the GTA franchise.
