Son: "Yeah, lets bounce."

Dad: "Bounce... We're bouncing now..." *¬_¬*

That's just awesome dialogue.

Really looking forward to this game! Have been looking to return to Los Santos for awhile, still hoping for a GTA:HD collection at some point :P

@WilltheMagicAsian: Nope, they said in GameInformer that they won't be using celebrity voices.

That dog is great. I'm definitely still totally on board for this game.

With regard to celebrity voices, they said they won't do it for the main characters. That said, don't rule some cameos out.

GTA: Saint's Row

Kinda disappointed that this is what they choose to show us about this game. The (somewhat) serious nature of IV was what made me enjoy it apart from the rest of the series.

I didn't like GTA IV at all, i like the look of this one more, I play games for fun, not bleak stories about unlikable boring characters like Niko.

Rockstar has that pulp-film vibe down on lock! Absolutely loving what I saw and heard (choice song too).

GTA IV was amazing and this looks like an extension of that, bringing in more options from earlier games while maintaining the fleshed out world and characters. I can't wait to see more of this and finally get my hands on it next year. Go Rockstar!!!

Nice to see them going back to a lighter tone. GTAIV was good, but it felt constrained by its gritty seriousness.

Those better be fake names because if that isn't Claude, CJ, and Tommy, we have a big problem.

Looks like the same old rubbish to me. Kind of hoped after RDR that Rockstar might have opted to go more in the direction of something fresh and new than make another GTA...

I was lukewarm on the idea of a GTAV until this moment. I can't wait.

Great trailer. I was laughing and actually clapped a couple times. Previously I didn't really care about GTA 5, but these characters have really sold me on this game. I'm looking forward to how this story turns out.

YAY! Jets, motocross and trains makes GTA complete but I don't have the patience to unlock it all. I worry about the contemporary setting since it doesn't seem as stylized and satirical but at least it's light hearted.

I hope the driving is a little snappier (at least off-road)

awesome, looks like they're bringing the humour back, and some of those missions looked awesome. The part with the car sliding off the truck and doing a 180 was sick.

It finally looks like the characters you are playing are actually, you know, different.

If you ignore the ethnicity of the GTA 4 characters, they're basically identical. Don't get me wrong, GTA 4 is one of my all-time favorites, but I felt like I was playing 3 versions of Niko.

Trevor sounded a bit like Jason Lee to me, but if they say they're not using celebs, then I suppose its not.

I'm surprised at this trailer. If they had gone all-serious i think I might have been in after enjoying the last few Rockstar games I played. This just feels like my least favorite writing parts of GTA 4 in a trailer. I didn't finish that game. I'm not even gonna bother with this one. This is a definite pass for me.

After GTA4, proper, I thought Rockstar forgot about fun but here it is, it's back.
