New Grand Theft Auto V 'business' screens, more in a 'few weeks'

Rockstar caps off week with four new "business" screenshots showing off helicopters, sports cars, guns, and biplanes; more shots coming in "a few weeks."

Those eager for new images from Grand Theft Auto V are, for a third time this week, in luck. Rockstar Games this morning released four new "business" screenshots to the company's news blog.

This is what business looks like?

The images show off a range of activities, environments, and actions from GTAV, including urban police chases, a harbor-set shoot-out, and a biplane flying over a countryside river.

These images follow new GTAV screens from Monday and Wednesday, bringing the total of never-before-seen shots from the game to 10 this week alone. The previous screenshot dispatches showed off leisure and transportation.

The wait for the next batch of new GTAV screens will likely be a bit longer than a couple of days. Rockstar said it will return with "more to see" in a few weeks, or thereabouts.

GTAV has been the subject of much speculation, with many analysts believing the game will be on store shelves by March 2013, despite Rockstar having remained silent on its release date.

Last month, Rockstar explained why it has remained largely quiet on GTAV since officially announcing it in October, saying it doesn't want to spoil the game prerelease, and it is simply not ready to show more.

When GTAV does arrive, it will do so with great sales expectations. Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia believes the game will sell 14 million copies at launch, driving $700 million in revenue. For more on GTAV, check out GameSpot's previous coverage.

@endorbr What kind of details are you expecting to learn about a GTA game that you don't already know?

@JOYRIDEME That's actually a pretty good point. I'm just tired of the games media thinking we should be freaking out over a few screenshots. It's GTA, you're either interested or your not.

And this is how you promote your game professionally.

No stupid hype from the devs, no showing of feautures that turn out to be mediocre in the end, but if you have a name like RS you show what you've got and hold back on spoilers until the release.

@deadpeasant Honestly, these screenshots pale in comparison to the full trailer they released a few months ago. Why not release another video instead? Or release the pictures then the video? They seem to be showing less of it, and what they are just confirms what they're reintroducing from San Andreas.

Can tell that the graphics went through a massive overhaul, wonder how many xenons and gtx 690s and gbs of ram and how many ssds in raid 0 to run this game over 15fps, still mad at how poorly optimized the IV was, and how many patches it took to be (not good yet) but less poorly optimized. The game surely looks amazing, but don't know if it will be valid if I need to buy a whole new rig for it.
