GTA V: new screenshots show off boats, BASE jumps and a drive-by shooting

Latest title in Grand Theft Auto franchise will be release September 17

Although we've already had a slew of trailers from the latest addition to the best-selling Grand Theft Auto franchise, publishers Rockstar have released new screenshots to wet gamers' appetites.

The game will allow players to switch between three main protagonists and perform a series of bank heists with ever-escalating stakes.

Set in the fictional city of Los Santos (and heavily modelled on Los Angeles) the 15th GTA title will feature a game world larger than GTA IV, Red Dead Redemption and GTA: San Andreas combined.
