New Grand Theft Auto 5 screenshots show bungie jumping and cop chases

Rockstar has unleashed a ton of new screenshots for its upcoming open-world game—Grand Theft Auto 5. The screenshots show a wide variety of things, including fast cars, strip clubs, airplanes, guns, boats, vistas, helicopters, bungie jumping and naked cop chases. The screenshots show a wide variety of environments too, ranging from downtown Los Santos to the fresh and open Blaine County.

Earlier in July, Rockstar had finally showcased GTA5’s gameplay with a gameplay trailer. The trailer goes more in-depth into the idea of being able to switch the main characters on the fly. While you play and roam around the city as one of the characters, the others will be living their own lives. You can switch to these other characters and continue their activities at any moment. As the lady in the trailer describes it, you can indulge in some voyeurism.

There also seems to be some improvement in the core gameplay itself—driving and shooting. The ability to change guns seems too have been changed to use a radial menu instead of the traditional “switch weapons one-by-one” system of the earlier games. Driving also seems to be much more fast and fluid, with less emphasis on realism.

GTA 5 will also have some great variety in its game world, with everything ranging from the city to the country side, urban decay to untouched natural scenery. Needless to say, there will also be some new side-activities. These include playing tennis, taking part in bicycle races, skydiving, or even hunting (both bounty and animals).

Grand Theft Auto 5 will be hitting stores on September 17 and will be available for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. As of yet, there’s no word on a PC version.
