Hi All,

I've been lurking for a while, but this is my first post. I didn't want to start a new thread about an idea I had RE: the protagonist, so I figured this was the best place to post it. Apologies if a similar theory has been previously offered.

We already know that the protagonist (or one of them, if the multiple protagonist theory is correct) moved to the Los Santos area to start a new life and "settle down," so to speak. The idea I had was that he has probably acquired considerable wealth assuming the life he's trying to escape from was one embroiled in crime. I'm considering the possibility that, with that wealth, he's become a partner with STD Contractors, the construction company commissioned to build the Mile High Club luxury rentals. My theory is a basic one only based on a couple of vague ideas. The first being that our protagonist has probably only lived in Los Santos for a handful of months, or possibly a year (though I wouldn't think it would be much longer than that). That's approximately the same amount of time one could assume the Mile High Club has been under construction, which would fit into his moving time frame if he is somehow involved. I also thought that the "D" in STD Contractors could possibly stand for De Silva, if that is indeed the protag's last name as some have speculated.

This could play well into a property buying theme, and could provide plenty of fodder for the storyline. And who wouldn't want to own a massive suite at the top of the MHC when it's completed? Anyway, just a theory -- not saying I believe it myself, I just thought it was one possibility. Sorry again if this has been proposed already.

Yeah because it will totally fit in if you play a black guy with a white voice... Why don't you stop and think that maybe... The guy talking in the trailer isn't in the trailer at all? Or even the protagonist?

I found this little comment made by an apparent R* disgruntled employee after bieng apparently fired by them that reveals a few key details. i know that its most likely bullshit but it actually seems quite beleivable bcuz i would do exactly what he did if R* fired me for tokin on a little reefer, cmon.

I was just fired from stupid ass R* for “drug abuse” ….BS!!!! it was medicinal!!!!!! take this a-holes!::::: Tommy Vercetti will be in gtav, at first you will not know for sure, until a phone call, midway through the game, from “an old friend” who wonders “why” he “moved all the way out there” and his “old pals” plan to “look him up” and “check out that beautiful west coast weather” …”oh yeah, hows your little wife?” “no one can escape their past Tommy” “You got some dues to pay, and were gonna come out there and collect” Also, CJ from san andreas will be “still doing the same old thing” and that G-man a-hole who used that dumb spy slut and blackmailed niko from gta IV will do the same to him, YES you will play as three different characters throughout the game, basically a combination of gta4 with niko b., Jhonny k., and Luis L. only in one game, like the dual characters in half assed and rushed to market “screw the fans. money is more inmportant” la noire. And yes, this will have more “episodes to make a $60 game into a $200 game. $$$$$$$$$$$ is all R* cares about anymore……….GO AHEA AND SUE ME YOU BASTARDS!!! I HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE NOW!

i guess time will tell if this is a hoax or one pissed off employee who gave us the info we wanted.

Yeah, it's bullshit. If it were true, though, that ex-employee would be one dumb bastard. If you think you have "nothing to lose," getting sued for violating a non-disclosure agreement will show you just how wrong you are.

that is the stupidest fucking thing EVER. $200 game... Seriously...? No one from Rockstar would type with such terrible vocabulary and grammar. No one. That just seems like a dumbass 13 year old made it, and put it online for the desperate people looking for any news to find.

At least you were intelligent enough to realize.

The sad thing is that millions of fucktards - some of whom are present here - will believe that shit. There is no point even formulating an argument against that so called "leaked information." All I can do is laugh in exasperated disbelief at it.

Still, I would like to visit the people who persist in fabricating these stories in the dead of night brandishing a claw hammer. I could then blame GTA for the subsequent murder and get let off because I didn't know any better and was just reenacting what I saw in the game.

I'd reply properly, but I slipped on this gigantic pile of bullshit and hurt my back.

I like this guy. Will you be our friend?

Well, hopefully, given a few months, we'll be recognised as the 'no bullshit' site, and then no one will be in two minds about whether something's true.

Ha, happily. 'Tis why I sneaked in here in the first place. Thought it was time for some intelligent banter and speculation, as opposed to "I worked for R* and/or I'm still sprouting my first pubes but somehow know every knowable fact about V."

well i thought it was kinda obvious that i didnt actually meet this guy, i simply found this on another gta site and put it in here for discussion because although you can say that its 98 percent most likely not true theres still a 2 percent chance that the info is true. and since R* wont tell us anything we might as well speculate the improbable who knows somewhere out there someone probably has some information thats true. In many months time we will have the game in our hands and be able to see for ourselves what is true, but until then we may as well hear the rumours and speculate what could be in the game and who could be in the game.

I think there is a greater chance that you got this information while meeting up for some random man-sex than this information being true, just saying.

Oh Trust me im not a moron, I understand that this information is most likely false like I previously stated that there was a 2 percent chance of truth, but thats a pretty low shot from out of nowhere I think you have a case of Internet Cojones and you feel tough behind your monitor. I dont really fuckin know where that came from and leads me to believe that maybe your takin it in the back door (or givin it if you bf is the bitch in the relationship) and you just maybe feel a little insecure. . . either that or your probably a virgin. one or the other.

I'm starting to think it will be the old man Ned luke or whatever. Someone on YouTube uploaded a gta4 trailer 1 and gta5 trailer 1 and the similarities are crazy. I don't care if we are some old man. Jackass antics anyone?

This has been a debate brought by many people since the announcement of GTA V's development - Who is the protagonist?

Here are the following theories that people have made up about the protagonist -

Tommy Vercetti: a comeback from Vice City?

Whilst I was browsing the videos of YouTube one day, I found a video called 'GTA V Possible Protagonist?' which can be accessed on the following link.

On the video's description, it says that -

"The likely protagonist of the upcoming game in the Grand Theft Auto series, V. The most likely protagonist is Tommy Vercetti from GTA: Vice City.

I thought that this is impossible so I did some more research about this and eventually I found out information from IGN's article -

http://uk.ps3.ign.com/articles/121/1211366p1.html

There are similarities between the unconfirmed protagonist and Tommy. They both have a strong resemblance in facial features and hair - despite the fact the images are based on different decades. It also follows through with the time theory - Tommy is thirty-five during the events of Vice City and the protagonist looks older than Tommy - presumably around his mid/late 50's to early 60's.

In addition to this, here are two videos - the official trailer from Vice City and the recently-released GTA V trailer.

Please look out for the blue car flying over a bump at 00:20 and a red sports car at 00:31. These cars both appear in the GTA V trailer.

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/MpmDawqOfqs?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Now watch the cars at 00:49 and 1:05 marks.

<object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkkoHAzjnUs?version=3&feature=player_detailpage"><param'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkkoHAzjnUs?version=3&feature=player_detailpage"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkkoHAzjnUs?version=3&feature=player_detailpage" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="360"></object>

However, there are some disadvantages to this theory. The voice in GTA V's trailer is not Ray Liotta, as said in the article from IGN. Also, there is no theory of how Tommy managed to make his way to Los Santos as his fate is unknown - (why would he want to move out of his luxurious mansion in Starfish Island to move into Los Santos anyway?). This is the first theory.

Claude: has he returned?

Another theory of the protagonist's identity spoken by some people is Claude from GTA III. This is probably the weakest theory as there are many disadvantages to prove that this theory is fake.

The protagonist in the trailer can speak but Claude has never spoke since he is mute and has always been so in the two games he's made an appearance in.

Also, the trailer protagonist speaks out about having a wife and kids. This is not known for Claude as he was betrayed by Catalina during the beginning events of GTA III but he had a close relationship with Maria Latore, Salvatore Leone's wife. But the final mission in GTA III, Claude uses a gun to either kill Maria or silence her. Their relationship status is proven unknown and I think kids are out of the question for Claude.

And just like Tommy, there is no proof to back up the story of Claude getting to Los Santos. So this might be just another theory.

However, there is an advantage where in the trailer, the protagonist speaks out about living a crime life in the past. This is an advantage for all characters though as each and every one of them has lived crime so there is an unlikely chance that Claude will be the protagonist of GTA V.

Or will there be a new character introduced?

To me this is the most certain theory to me. I reckon that a new character will be introduced. If we look at the timeline of all the game eras of GTA, different characters have been introduced - as we know that there has never been a character who's appeared as the protagonist in more than one game. So there may be a new, fresh protagonist.

In the trailer, he said he wanted to move into Los Santos for the weather, considering the fact that Los Santos will have nice weather in GTA V. He also wanted to leave a life of crime behind and be a family man - wanting his kids to be like the kids on TV. However it's not long before he starts getting into crime again, as he can be seen robbing a jewellery store with other men disguised as pest control. This is in the same style as GTA IV as Niko robs a bank with Packie McReary and two other men.

Many items, both new and seen before are seen in the trailer. All these things might be playable in GTA V, however this has not yet been confirmed.

What theory do you believe? Or do you have another theory? If so, please comment below.

You are free to post your own theory and say what you think.
