Curiosity may have had a bad rap for killing cats, but today it’s been feeding the internet some juicy details about Rockstar Games‘ upcoming title, Grand Theft Auto V. Already touted as being a game-changer for the series, GTA V has sparked a lot of conversation — from its gameplay right down to its logo design.
While the game might not arrive until 2013, fans are excited for its eventual release, and some are curious enough to look into the source code of other games to find more information.
A few members of the GTAForums website have potentially found a goldmine of information relating to the upcoming fifth installment of the Grand Theft Auto franchise — and it’s all from within Max Payne 3‘s core files. A particular file of interest in the source code, called “vehicles.ide” appears to contain names and variables of dozens of vehicles and objects. Normally this wouldn’t be a big deal, but considering that many of the names on the list have already been seen in previous Grand Theft Auto games, this find has piqued fan curiosity.
GTA: San Andreas brought jetpacks and better aircraft into the series. Could GTA V be doing the same with new vehicles?
Vehicles such as Infernus and the Patriot from previous titles are referenced on the list, but what seems to be catching a lot of attention is the mention of “monorail,” “chairlift,” and “plane_jet” — yes, a jet! If the source code is anything to go on, Grand Theft Auto V players could be cruising at low altitudes in their very own passenger jet. This is all just speculation, of course, but these are the things players have wanted to experience since the series started.
Ranters, are you excited to see what Rockstar Games has planned for its flagship series? Do you think the open-world concept for Grand Theft Auto V will go as far as allowing players to drive trains and go skiing?
Grand Theft Auto V is currently in development for PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U and PC.

GTA will always be better on Playstation(Even though the Playstation has always been it’s lead platform). Anyway, hopefully GTA V is a big improvement over IV. GTA III has always been my personal favorite of the franchise. Excited to see what else comes soon.
I would love to see all types of drivable vehicles in GTA V! Also, I hope the Infernus does return in GTA V because that was my favorite car in GTA IV.
Of course there’s going to be jets there was one it the trailer and the crop sprayer
U could already drive trains in San andreas
No to jetpacks. just no. Rockstar gave all the morons crying for jetpacks in GTA:SA and it was rather pointless. Had to go all the way to the stupid desert to get it every time or activate it with cheat codes. pointless. move on.
I actually kinda of liked the jet pack. It was kind of cool going into a military base that was mocking area 51 and retrieving the jet pack sure maybe getting a jetpack seems like something stupid out of Saints Row maybe something that shouldn’t have belonged in Gta but it was fun drawback from the reality of the game that the player can use. I don’t understand why you want it out, it was just a side vehicle that the game wasn’t forcing you to use after the mission. I can understand if the game had a bunch of ballers on jet packs running around trying to take your gangs territory. (that seems a little ridiculous) But if I wanted to have a killing spree, get six stars, use the jet pack and blow the crap out of everything while flying and laughing crazy over the awesome stupidity. Why shouldn’t I?
Bottom line is it’s just a side add on that gives the game extra little fun if you don’t want to use it fine, but I don’t understand why the hell you want to take away my fun and enjoyment simply because it doesn’t belong in the game. Neither did coop. It didn’t advance the story whatsoever but it was fun add on that the player didn’t have to do and was placed inside the game.
Sorry for the rant.
yeah seriously, the jetpack was fun and easy to handle, it was more of a bonus thing rather than a core part of the game, no one forced you to go to the desert to use it, and what’s so wrong with a cheat code. either way come up with more valid points for an argument because this one has no weight.
