GTA 5 gets big boats and base jumping in new screenshots

Big boats, huge helicopters and hurling yourself from enormous heights -- it can only be Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 5, which has been teased again in a slew of new screenshots.

Click through the photo gallery above to examine the new snaps for yourself. Speedy virtual vehicles and what looks like a burning plane also make an appearance, as well as a t-shirt for long-standing GTA rock band Love Fist.

Earlier screenshots showed off the ability to submerge yourself in Scuba, and gave a first glimpse at the game's heist mechanic -- which was explained in greater depth in the gameplay trailer below.

Intriguingly, Rockstar also promises the game will let you hop between the game's three protagonists mid-mission, potentially opening up new ways to gun through each segment. Eager gamers are still waiting on details concerning the promised multiplayer mode, though IGN reports updates on this front will be arriving in August.

GTA 5 comes out on 17 September for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. There's no word yet on whether the hotly anticipated title will arrive on the swanky new Xbox One or PlayStation 4, though.

Grand Theft Auto 5 looks to be developer Rockstar's most ambitious open-world effort yet. Will it soar to new gaming heights, or be crushed under the weight of players' sky-high expectations? Stick your predictions in the comments, or on our Facebook wall.
