GTA V Announced

Looks fantastic. So long as they don't have anybody as annoying as fucking Roman this time out, I'll be more than happy.

Yeah, and leave out friends calling you wanting to go bowling or going out to eat. I have pigeons to kill, don't wanna waste time hanging with Lil Jacob, though some of them had some nice perks once you got a high enough percentage in the friendship rating.

I'd be surprised if this game is as big as San Andreas was, with all the county areas and such, not to mention the desert and all that, but would be extremely happy if it did.
 
Looks good.
Some speculation:

The Grand Theft Auto 5 trailer dropped this morning (you saw it already, of course, unless you were stuck somewhere hiding out from the mob) and of course it didn't take long until the Speculation Train got itself a'rollin' around the Internets. First things first, that wasn't Ray Liotta you heard speaking in the trailer, Rockstar has confirmed, but of course that doesn't mean Tommy Vercetti is out of the picture entirely -- it is still a Grand Theft Auto game, after all.

PC Gamer has gone even further out on a limb to suggest that the trailer may indicate multiple playable characters in the game: We saw of course the older gentleman who was presumably doing the voiceover, but also a younger guy with a shaved head in the middle of a car chase, and an African American dude running from police choppers. All three were in the middle of that heist seen in the video, so presumably, if the speculation is true, the story will revolve around a heist that connects these three characters and their stories.

And could multiple playable characters mean GTA 5 might make for some co-op campaign gameplay? Roll on, Speculation Train, roll on!

I do hope there is some crossover with GTA4, like seeing or getting missions from some of the GTA4(main and expansion game) characters...
 
Will be interesting to see if the Grove Street gang is still around, especially after all the trouble I went to to acquire all the gang territories. Dang, looking forward to this game - atleast Saints Row the 3rd is coming out to keep my busy until then.
 
I think the friendship mechanic was fine in TLAD and TBoGT; you could invite your friends out to an activity but they never called you. I think that's the best way to do it, that way it doesn't annoy players that don't want to play the minigames but those that do get some advantageous perks.

Yeah, I think the best perk was probably from Kiki - being able to clear up to a 3 star wanted level with a phone call was nice. Packie had the sticky bombs, but with Ballad of Gay Tony you could just get them whenever you wanted basically.
 
One year later... Trailer 2 is out:

It looks like a lot of fun. The three protagonist idea sounds very interesting, but a big departure from the norm like this has big risks. Here's hoping that Rockstar pull it off because the gameplay looks fantastic otherwise.
 
Ahh, spring! This would be a great game to be playing right now in this crap weather awaiting the holidays. Looks good.
 
It looks great. I don't know about the switch anytime for any mission protagonist setup for gameplay purposes but it looks fun for story purposes.

I just have a feeling that it's going to be overscripted like IV was. Like with car chases, where it's impossible to catch a guy until you get to the correct scripted point. If I outsmart the AI or just get a lucky gunshot on a tire I want the car chase to be over in seconds.
 
It'll be fun tearing around Los Santos again...but if I have to follow another damn train....*shudders* ;)
