I can already see this protagonist thing being a problem..... They are gonna have to make to where you either can't hurt them or they just arn't on the map unless you switch to them....

In Red Dead, John Marston can't target Abigail or Jack with a gun, but if he manages to kill one of them (i.e. with dynamite), he also dies instantly. Not an especially elegant solution, but it is another possibility for what we could see in V.

Franklin and Michael already look to me as my type of protagonists. To me though it looks as though Trevor could be an antagonist and might screw the other two at the end of something similar anyway.

If the '3 protagonists, 3 trailers' hypothesis is correct, I guess the characters will be introduced by the order of the trailers.

I don't think they'll do that for some reason. I thought about that, it obviously crossed my mind. But that's too predictable. Fair enough, they want to build a good ground for all the characters, but why wait a whole year to reveal a second character in a similar way to the first trailer? I think they know that most of the world knows there is three protagonists by now. They've probably decided to make an explosive trailer with all three characters this time around. Something that packs a punch like the Welcome to The Jungle trailer for San Andreas.

That's my guess anyway.

Yeah, you're probably right actually.

You know what. I think they intended to do a 'suggestible protag 2 trailer' until 'Sandy' happened and screwed everything up. They probably wanted to show one of the other characters off before GI released their article. They may well be in the middle of re-doing the trailer to what i said above so it doesn't seem predictable now, as it wouldn't have been predictable if they released it when they intended too.... If that makes sense?

They mentioned that when you switch characters, you zoom out above the map, a la Google Earth. They also mentioned a debug camera they used during development. I wonder if we'll be able to control that Google Earth/debug camera freely. This also makes me wonder if the pause menu map is a satellite-style image...

I saw one more time the trailer and I think the guy playing golf is one of the guys on the jewellery store heist. And this guy is another character, not one of the 3 "stars". I'm starting to believe that we can control even more characters.

it would be cool if instead of pausing the game to bring up the map, you zoomed out like google earth using the debug camera, but i think thats exactly what it is - a debug, in development camera, it probably won't be in the final game

What blows my mind is why the black guy has the whitest name ever and the white guys have names common not only among white people but also black people... :huh:

Yeah I hope there is like a mode where you can just explore the map using the camera.

Wild guess.,

Michael: Might become a cop, & we'll be forced to handcuff one of the other two.

Trevor: Looks to be the assassin, who might have to kill one of the other two.

Finally Franklin: Drug dealer? Anyway; Smart kid, who is faced with a choice between the two, and will have to trust one from the other.

(M.ight T.urn F.oe.)

Will we see are other characters while switching to another?

& we'll end up with three of the characters or just two?

Whatever it is, going play as all 3!!!

I guess your an idiot, but it's okay I'm only guessing.

If we were guessing I would call you twat, but I would be lying because you're a cunt.

next time don't have a retarded guess and then get all PMS when I disprove it.

You talking about 'Saint Fuckin' Michael', wasn't he meant to be a bit stupid, and Irish, and died after the bank robbery went wrong? Yeah definitely a long shot lol...

Hey, can we all agree the "blue car guy" is Michael? This site's characters page lists him as someone different. I am sure they just did alot of facial changes when they made the trailer. We see him driving around, pretty much confirming he is playable, plus on the GI artwork, we clearly see Michael tucking the pest control mask in a bag.
