Hi, I came across this pic. I am very intrigued about the possibility of sharks attacking the player in Grand Theft Auto: V.

I remember over a decade ago where Rockstar teased us with screenshots of sharks in GTA: Vice City, only for us to find out that the sharks were just floating inanimate objects for the sake of aesthetics.

Maybe Rockstar is teasing once again? Can anyone confirm or debunk this? You have my thanks in advance.

I can definitely seeing them attacking the player, or at least I'd hope so. It would be a waste otherwise.

Same here. It would add so much thrill in venturing into the sea.

I can imagine running away from the on foot police only to be attacked by a shark. Sounds fun!

I hope so. But I kind of hope it will be a random event-type thing, so you don't get attacked every time you go into the water...
In the Game Informer article about GTA V they said that there would also be things like dogs, and the NPCs will have "schedules." By that they mean that certain people will be easier to find at certain times, like a person who works as a gardener will be able to be seen mowing lawns in the daytime and such. Hopefully that attention to detail will stretch off the shores to shark attacks.

Yeah, I saw some snippets over at reddit about a Rottweiler jumping over the hood of a car.

A 24 hour routine sounds amazing. This is like Skyrim's living and breathing NPCs.

I really hope it lives up to everything it's being described as. It's one of the few games I'm looking forward to this year.

Well, considering the fact that rockstar made far cry 3 this year and sharks did attack I see it as extremely likely, the already know the code for it and Rockstar has made nothing but 10's lately

what. FC3 is Ubisoft.

I'd imagine they would put it as a feature, maybe if you stray off in open water too far. In any case I fluffING WANT THIS GAME OMG SHUT UP

Coming for GTA now too, Chief?

I never got into grand theft auto. I enjoyed the freedom and chaos of it though.

Edit: Felt the rest of my post was unnecessary and too judgemental

On topic sharks were kinda like snipe hunts for me and my buddies in GTA San Andreas.

It could. I remember having dolphins, turtles and group of fishes swimming in waters in San Andreas.

Sharks made their first appearance in GTA Vice City (as far as I'm concerned). I've been noticing them in GTA games ever since.
It doesn't matter how much I annoyed them, they never attacked me. :p I don't think the sharks will attack you in GTA V. It would be the first time Rockstar added that option.

I kinda agree on that... we are not talking about TES where almost everything wants to eat, freeze, burn, shock, poison, mug... you. In GTA that is police job and other mobs. :D

They were never a priority before in the GTA franchise. I don't think that will change in GTA V. I would like it though - I think I'm not the only one who looks forward to Shark Week on National Geographic channel. :D
