Here's That Grand Theft Auto V Trailer All the Kids Are Talking About

Comedy! Crime! Explosions! Yep, it sure is a Grand Theft Auto game. Not that anyone's complaining.

Well, that certainly was a lot of build-up for a trailer, wasn't it?

As is tradition in this industry, we've all been on our usual pins and needles waiting for this latest communique from Rockstar Games in regards to Grand Theft Auto V, and if the snapshot reaction from people around various social media platforms is any indication, folks are not disappointed.

We've heard all the bluster about the game being bigger than pretty much all the GTAs combined, and we all (hopefully) read Game Informer's in-depth feature on the various systems the game will employ. And now, we've seen the whole thing in motion, albeit in tightly edited promotional trailer form.

Still, it's a very good trailer, lighter in tone than even Grand Theft Auto is typical for. Grand Theft Auto IV was certainly funny, but this game seems to be taking on a more overtly ludicrous tone. Considering ludicrous is often what Rockstar Games does best, that perhaps bodes well for the final product.

Also, did you see that part where they were on the truck carrying cars and they started flinging cars off the truck carrying cars onto other cars? I've been waiting since Bad Boys II to do that to somebody in a video game.

So, what did you think?

So, uh. Where's the trailer? I see this topic saying "Here is the amazing GTAV trailer!", but there's no trailer here. Am I missing something? Is this just a joke post because there is no trailer yet? I don't understand.

There's a trailer embedded above the article, must be an issue with your browser.

There's a link to the actual trailer page.

Never been a GTA fan but the Game Informer article got me interested. It looks fun at least.

They'll need to take a step forward from GTA IV, Max Payne and Red Dead in the characterization of secondary characters to get my money this time. I'm done with R*'s method of creating humor by playing stereotypes to the hilt.

Sigh...the release date just can't arrive fast enough. This game will be the game that blows everything out of the water depending on if Rockstar nails it perfectly.

somehow I get Californication vibes out of this, which absolutely sucks. But I'll probably be pleasantly surprised like always.

Cant wait!

A Jack Nicholson-esque character? Well done Rockstar, well done.

heres something funny.

Asked a kid I teach guitar if he saw the new GTA5 trailer, he replied "i didn't even know there was a GTA2 yet"

The new hardcore is Angry Birds and Kinect games.
