Does anyone else think that Michael and Trevor are related in some way? ( i.e. Brothers/ Cousins? ).

Can't wait for Thursday for more GTA V info. Too bad it's really coming out on Friday in Aus.

My Bad, now I see it's the Sole of a Shoe I guess it's jut a poster for a shoe then.

Coud be wrong. I just took another look and now I don't know what the picture is. Edit: It's just a poster advertising shoes ( Prolap ), the picture above the writing is that of the sole of a running shoe. Or even just a Shoe Print.

Some things I've noticed in the Trailers Michael's Trailer ~ * Bike Track alongside the Beach, there was nothing like this in San Andreas or GTA lV. So it should be easier to get around the city on a bike. * Michael has a massive Flat Screen TV, but more importantly what was he watching on it? It looks more like a movie than a TV show, so maybe there will be small Rockstar made movies like there was in Red Dead Redemption. * Expensive Clothing Stores like Didier Sachs will be in the game. * The Heist mission involving the Armoured Van at 39 Seconds in looks alot like the Opening Heist in the movie 'Heat' ( with the Truck crashing into the Van putting it on it's side, and them getting the guards out without any shooting ). * Gas Masks again, pointing towards some kind of gas being used in the game ( Tear Gas used by the Police/ Protaganists? ) Trevor's Trailer ~ * Meth Lab and the voiceover "Do you know about Trevor, Major Drug Dealer". Pointing towards possible Drug Dealing Mechanics. * His home town looks as dilapidated as ever * Maybe he can Torture people in-game, and not just in the cutscene in the Trailer * Looks to have the most brutal style of hand to hand fighting out of the three protaganists * Lost Motorcycle Gang Logo on building at 41 Seconds in. * More Pyromania with a Gas/Petrol can in hand at 44 Seconds in * A Juggalo ( otherwise known as an Insanse Clown Posse Fan ) * Trevor might secretly be bi-sexual pointing towards having either served some time in Prison, or the Navy. Franklin's Trailer ~ * Car Washes are back ( but who cares? ) * The object in Franklin's friends hand is a dog collar, could NPC's have the ability to use dogs. Maybe the police could have a K-9 Unit? * Gangsters in Green ( possible Grove Street Affiliates ) Looks like these are Franklin's old gang. * Gangsters in Purple ( Possibly Ballas ) * Chops collar is green ( Possible Dog Collar Customization?) Not a big deal, but still. * Looks like street racing will be in GTA V, with the Trailer showing a one on one race being tracked by a helicopter ( Police/ Televison? ) and chased by police cars. * Strippers have better asses than GTA lV's ones did. * Graffiti on the wall 32 seconds in, saying Killer Hills, The Hills and Grove down the bottom. Pointing towards new gangs, and a new ghetto area. * In Franklin's home there is a map of Los Santos with the words " We Run Los Santos" Underneath. EDIT: As Massacre pointed out this is just a Pro Laps Poster with the picture of a Shoes Sole. Just a couple of things I noticed.

All three trailers were awesome, and all three characters look interesting in their own ways. Michael ~ Looks to have the most thought provoking storyline. He looks like a very human character who is never happy and is always wanting more from life ( Excitement, Meaning, Purpose etc ). He looks like he wants some of the excitement back from his old lifestyle ( ie Heists and other Criminal Enterprises ) from before he went into the Witness Protection Program. Looks like he has mini games like Golf, Tennis, and from the bike track next to the beach scenes in his trailer, it looks like it might be easier to get around Los Santos on a bike. Michael reminds me of Tony Soprano mixed with a little Walter White, topped off with some Rockstar. Franklin ~ To be honest his trailer was probably the most interesting to watch, gameplay wise. It looks like most of the Members here were wrong, and GTA V will indeed be featuring Street Gang Missions alongside other possible Open World interactions. Franklin looks alot tougher in this Trailer than in the previous ones, his story will hopefull be what CJ's story should of been in GTA SA. He looks to have some Gangbangin' and other 'Hood' type missions in his story, along with his dog 'Chop' and however we will be able to use him against enemies ( did anyone else notice his green collar in Franklin's trailer? Customization anyone? ). And the 'We Own Los Santos' map in his home reminds me of the Gang Territories/ Wars game mechanic in GTA SA, pointing towards something similar in GTA V. Franklin's Story could be interesting, because he is trying to better his life by making more money and getting out of the old Gangster Lifestyle. But is constantly being pulled back into it by his old friends ( like Lamar ). Trevor ~ Looks more Redneck and Psychopathic than ever. His character reminds me alot of Heisenberg ( Walter White's alter ego in 'Breaking Bad' ), especially the reference to being a drug dealer, and the Meth Kitchen setup in his Trailer ( Drug Dealing Mechanics Possibly? ). Again with the pyromainia, setting things on fire in the this trailer as well. He looks like he enjoys a bit of the old Ultra-Violence, alongside a bit of Sadistic Torture. Anyone who enjoys inflicting violence on virtual people will definitely enjoy this character and story. I don't know about the Redneck Country music in his trailer, but San Andreas K-Rose had some good songs. I also don't know about the homosexual shit at the end of his trailer, where he threatened to get his cock out again if the guy didn't give him a massage. I don't know if Trevor is secretly bi-sexual, and pretending to be heterosexual ( Like alot of people in Prison ), but this definitely reminds me of that scene in Deliverance ( You know the One ) Anyway these Trailers showed tonnes more than just the Characters, like new Cars and views of Los Santos and the Countryside etc. But i'll leave that for another post.

As much as I like the idea of businesses, I doubt that Rockstar will be incorporating them into GTA V. Basically beacause it would undermine their Main Story focusing on making money from Heists.

I doubt Franklin's pure at all. He only gave up Gangbangin' because he knew it was a futile cause. I'm pretty sure he will be more than willing to do anything to make some more cash. This is definitely proven, by his decision to take up with two Honky's and start pulling heists all over the city.

There is one major problem with that map. In reality the Alamo sea ( Salton Sea/ What it's based on ) is Southeast of L.A. not Northeast. But this wouldn't be the first time Rockstar have changed the geographic locations of certain landmarks.

Don't forget about Chop. I'll be interested to find out in what way we can utilise him.

Here's the Teutoburg Forrest Gameplay walthrough ~ Also even though this is pre-alpha footage, I don't really like the new design of the Unit Cards. What do you guys think? Overall a pretty average Walkthrough, and very disapointing when compared to the Carthage Demo.

That was some solid backpedalling, BlackSox9. Not backpedalling, just working through the possiblities. It's not like I have a crystal ball or something, I honestly have no idea how long the trailers could be. Still, trying to guess the time for the trailer is fun.

Haven't even seen those before. I guess the GTA V character trailers will be around 1 minute long then.

Didn't say 2 minutes, I said between 1:30 and 2:00 Minutes ( so somewhere in that space of time ). Trailer 1 was 1:25 minutes long, and Trailer 2 was 1:51 minutes long so maybe these new trailers will meet halfway? Possibly 1:38 Minutes? But seriously they could end up being shorter than the last 2 trailers, due to these ones shifting focus entirely on each protaganist. You could even look back at GTA lV's Trailers. ~Trailer 1 was only 1:03 minutes long ~Trailer 2 only 1.04 minutes ~Trailer 3 focused more on the characters ( like these Trailers probably will ) and was 2:03 minutes long ~And the last trailer, Trailer number 4 was 2:08 minutes long ( the last trailers were longer than the first two, which could end up being the same for this installment of GTA ) So there's no telling how long the Trailers could be. They could be anything from 5 second Teasers right up to 10 minute character previews, who knows?

I'm guessing about the same length as the previous Trailers. So about 1 minute and 30 seconds to about 2 minutes total. That would be perfect, but could be less due to only showing one character per trailer, whereas the first two trailers showed much more ( Los Santos/ Countyside/ Planes/ Heists/ All Three Characters etc ).

These trailers should be interesting, I can't wait to see some more information about each of the individual protaganists. We really don't know too much about Trevor or Franklin yet so any new info would be great. Plus a chance to see more of Los Santos, and maybe some more vehicles and weapons would also be welcome.

I think there is a massive difference between Alcohol and other Drugs. For instance Hallucinogenic drugs could entirely change GTA V's Sandbox into something totally different. Like a Nightmare world full of Demons/Zombies, or a Crazy Carnival world full of Evil Clowns and Serial Killers in Mascot Costumes. You could start seeing Creatures/People that aren't really there, and start chasing after them ( ie Bigfoot/ A Dragon/ Leatherface etc ), and start fighting them. And after a period of time the drug effects wear off, returning you to the normal GTA V World. Or there could be Depressant Drugs which don't affect coordination like Alcohol does, but instead slow down everything else in the environment except you ( kind of like Slow Motion/ Bullet Time ). Or Stimulants which increase the amount of damage you can take, and quicken your on foot movement/ melee attacks and weapon reloads for a limited time. They could even turn drug use into how you find hidden pakages. For intsance there was a quest in The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim where you had to find 4 hidden books, but the only way you could find them was to cast a spell giving you an alternate vision of the world, which made the books visible. Rockstar could turn this Game Mechanic into say, smoking a Chronic Blunt, which would then change your perspective of the world, making the Hidden Packages/Collectables visible in the environment. It could also effect coordination when navigating the environment in a car or on foot ( kind of like the Alcohol effect only less severe ).

It would be GREAT if you could customize your Safehouse, but I doubt Rockstar will include this option. Plus the difference between the screenshot and the Trailer version of Michael's Mansion is probably down to Rockstar tweaking with it's appearance during the development process. It's not likely pointing towards customization. Even though my thoughts on the matter are ~The MORE Customization the better!!!

The GOTY version will give you the "5" Fallout 3 Add-Ons along with the orginal game ~ 1: Operation Anchorage ~ It's an O.K. Add-On, plus it gives you the chinese stealth suit ( which turns you partially invisible like the stealth boy's effect ) 2: The Pitt ~ Not the best out of the DLC's, but I personaly liked being stripped of my weapons and armor and having to take on the Trogs ( interesting location ) 3: Broken Steel ~ Raises the level cap from 20 to 30 and lets you play beyond the Final Main Story Quest. Along with introducing new quests and enemies into the original game. 4: Mothership Zeta ~ Quest on an Alien Ship, introducing new enemies, characters and weaponry ( including a unique Ray Gun owned by the Alien Captain, the "Firelance" ) 5: Point Lookout ~ And last but definitely not least, the Grand Daddy of them all Point Lookout. This one is definitely the Biggest and Best out of all the Add-Ons. I won't spoil this one for you but it's great. I would love to play this game for the first time again, so I envy you. Because if you can excuse the old graphics and the many glitches, this really is a great, rare gem of a game. And is definitely the best game that was released that year. Bring on Fallout 4 for 2014!!!

Hopefully there is Infrared in the Multiplayer portion as well. In Battlefield 3 no one could escape my wrath when I was in my tank with infrared vision engaged ( along with the proximity scanner ). Can't wait to use it to dominate GTA V's Multiplayer and listen to all the whining about me cheating, alongside the fan/hate mail I get after dominating the other team single-handedly.

What happened to all the great rappers like L. There's nothing but shit these days.

I've said what I think, make of it what you will. But you won't change my mind. My way of thinking has been made from all the experiences I have had up to this point. It's not like I have come to these conclusions overnight, I've pondered them for years. Anyway, back on topic Franklin's character and story will be just as good as Michael or Trevors. And I can't wait to play as all three of them. ( but hopefully there's no female protags in GTA V's DLC's ).

Rebel, when it comes out of a "girl's" mouth, means the same thing it does when it comes out of a "boy"'s mouth. It means that they're not a part of the system that they exist in, by fate or by choice. They seek or are forced to escape for whatever reason (anger, financial, revenge, self-betterment, etc.) pertains to them. They don't intend to "fuck shit up lol". The ignorance you just exhibited regarding women, the GTA protags, and criminals is astounding. Dafuq, BlackSox? I thought you were cool. I didn't say Rebels want to fuck shit up, I said the protags did. Real Rebels aren't liked by women or cool guys in reality. And yes I am a bit of a misogynist, but this is the way alot of girls and women think, they like big cowards that pick on people that are smaller than them; it gets them all hot and bothered ( but they can't help it because it's part of their physiology ). Alot have a fucked up mentality which is barely ever questioned, since society likes to protect women from everything ( even questioning of their behaviour/morals ), they are given more legal and social rights than men. And I don't think this is fair, so I try and point out the bullshit to try and add a bit of balance and brevity to the matter. They act like their shit doesn't smell, all holier then thou. But it's bullshit because their scum just like everyone else.

It would be cool if they brought back the boxing and different martial arts gyms form SA, so you could mix up the 3 different protags fighting styles. But with new styles like Krav Maga, Keysi Fighting Method, Judo, Muay Thai etc.

All true, and Luis to me is very reminiscent of "The Situation" from Jersey Shore ( Only Luis is not a pussy and can actually handle himself with his fists and with automatic weapons )
