New Grand Theft Auto V screens show leisure activities

Rockstar unloads three fresh shots from upcoming open-world game highlighting tennis, motorbikes, and parachutes.

146 Comments

Rockstar Games has shared three new images from the much-anticipated open-world action game Grand Theft Auto V. In an update to the company's news blog titled "Leisure," the developer dispatched shots depicting three individuals racing off-road motorbikes up a mountain pass, a tennis match, and a person parachuting through a gorge (at right).

Just one of the leisure activities in GTAV.

These images follow new shots from Monday, which highlighted transportation options in GTAV, including road bikes, fighter jets, and sports cars.

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.

@Uesugi-dono IV's main story was good, but somewhat burdened by how freaking long (and somewhat repetitive) it was.

@Uesugi-dono I managed to finish it, but it was actually TBOGT and Lost and Damned that I found to be more enjoyable than Bellic's story.

If there's tennis, does that mean there won't be any bowling? :P

I thought the side events in GTA IV were fun until you realized that you're hanging out with virtual friends instead of your real ones

wtf Eddie. This article is basically a carbon copy of the last one: http://www.gamespot.com/news/new-grand-theft-auto-v-screens-more-info-this-week-6392251

the last 3 paragraphs are copy/pasted. Poor journalism. You should be ashamed.

@Duke_51 then don't just copy/paste exact articles. That's just effortless filler. It's bad journalism.

Stop teasing with pictures Rockstar and release a new video, that's friggin amazing.

The detail on everything, I think that mountain in the parachute and motor cross pics is Mount Chilliad, GTA V really could have more than Los Santos and a bit of country because that mountain is in between Los Santos and San Fierro.

I CANT WAIT! =P

Hmm why are Rockstar releasing screenies from the high end PC version ? Xbox/Ps3 just cannot render those screens to that level of quality. An earlier screen of a guy sitting on a boardwalk with the ocean tipped me off that we are not seeing graphics that this gen of consoles can render to the quality shown ( especially the water reflections ). Look at the dirt behind the bikes, not a particle in sight. Everything is anti aliased to perfection, in fact its very difficult to even spot a texture seam. Reminds me very much of Battlefield 3 where they used high end PC screens too, and look how crap that ended up looking on consoles. My advice, wait till its confirmed what the hell you are looking at before getting excited.

I'm sure GTA V will release in March, or even better yet, April... it's the perfect time to release it since everyone will blow their Tax Return money on the game. :)

Gamespot is so slow xD I found interesting the fact that I could see this page's script for like 30minutes or more

And btw Gamespot, if you look closely you'll see that there are actually three "individuals racing off-road motorbikes up a mountainpass"

I love how Rockstar do their thing. They are like *radio silence* until 2 months before release, and then they come out with "oh by the way, this game will be in your hands before you can blink".

Now that's a marketing strategy that excites me.
