Meet the New Protagonists of Grand Theft Auto V

Seeing all three trailers, man I'm really hoping this The Wire vibe I'm picking up on shows through.

That looks pretty cool.

@TheVampireBoy:

yeah that was pretty good, i'm super pumped for this game!

This might just have got me excited about GTA again. IV bored me to tears sadly.

the older protagonist kind of reminds me of this guy

This is fucking amazing.

Holy shit those witty lines and that Stevie Wonder song throw my money in your face Rockstar because this trailer is amazing

Fake Michael Jackson? That's Stevie Wonder. He's in a class all his own. You can't compare the two.

For those that are wondering the song is named "Skeletons"

To balance all of the "GTAIV bored me/was stupid/too serious/didn't like it/didn't get why it was so popular/sucked"... I really liked GTAIV. I really really fuckin' loved Red Dead Redemption. I got Max Payne 3 and thought it was great. This game looks god damn amazing on every level. The shame is that it may be a while before we see a PC port... just means I'll probably be buying it twice.

color me slightly unimpressed. i'll still be buying it but this trailer hasn't done much for me.

As an animator, I'm most impressed with the dog running on the car!

@juice8367: That song is Skeletons by Stevie Wonder. It is one of my favorite songs of all time.

Early 2000s Jack Nicholson is in this game? Cool.

So Trevor is Lynch, right?

The song fits so nicely, that one would imagine it was made just for this trailer. I hope rest of the soundtrack is just as amazing. IV had some nice songs, but not nearly as many good ones as previous GTAs.

Oh and besides the music, the game looks just amazing in general. I just might have to buy Sleeping Dogs to get myself some GTA-ish relief before this one...

i loved gta 4's grimey story unlike most people, but i will say this story looks like it could be a ton of fun

I enjoy both serious contemplation and ridiculous high jinks in my video games! Go figure!

I can already see me exploring that landscape forever after beating the game. In SA, after the fun of Jetpack hovering over Las Venturas Strip sniping random pedestrians or cycling up that giant mountain and jumping down was gone, I would spent hours driving around in a truck, listening to that country station, bringing trailers from A to B. Good times.

Hell yeah!

Alright what song is that?

This is the GTA I remember, GTA IV took itself way to seriously at times.

I swear I heard Christopher Walken in that trailer.

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

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.

Wow, this actually made me give a shit. This ensemble's got some potential, nice to see they're mixing things up a bit.

Calling it, either the old guy's son dies or the old guy dies and you play as the son at the end.

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

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.

Hello fake michael jackson

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.

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)

im gonna have to be very careful with this. every GTA gets me so pumped and excited that it starts to affect my life. i was a nervous wreck leading up to gta 4 and RDR. gonna have to pace myself.

I feel you man I'm getting ready to freeze every frame for analysis. Rockstar...I believe!

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.

Looks like a GTA game, no more, no less.

I am surprised a good trailer can still get me pumped.

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

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...

Year of the.....dog?

Looking pretty slick so far. Hope it delivers.

I am so ready to bounce!

Harvey Pekar?

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

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

Ahh man.

Hopefully the next trailer is a PC announcement.

I love crazy GTA way more than serious GTA

We're about to bounce now?

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!!!

This looks pretty amazing, clearly not running on a 360 :)

Ray Leota main character?

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