They already had close quarters firearm animations in Red Dead, so it's only natural that they'd bring the updated ones from MP3 into GTAV as well.
Also, the ending shot of Franklin's trailer looks like it's right about to blend into gameplay as he exits the house.
That's how Rockstar advertises their games.
Keep us excited about this gen I guess. GTA 5 is one of the VERY few franchises that I think can still keep peoples' attention with new consoles coming out.

Excuse me while I play some Queen. That trailer really put me in the mood for it.
I guess Im sold. I'm there day one.

I really hope chasing that guy down is part of a mission.

Yes, but I hope that there is a little more to it like in MP3 where it just isn't the canned animation, but also gives you the option to fire and execute or not.
Also just noticed from the video that police now fire their weapons while in the car as well. Pretty neat.

All three characters seem interesting, but Michael is the most fascinating to me because of the family aspects. I think Franklin might have some family too, but they didn't really focus on that in the trailer.

Same way as Tomb Raider, Uncharted etc.
And no, the driving and shooting sucked in GTAIV. Shame, because that's the gameplay.

Trevor trailer is soooo good. Locations in the trailer are bringing back childhood memories of living in the desert of SoCal
I have to ask this since I'm a bit confused here. Is that Michael's wife? Or Daughter? Or is he the guy running away in a speedo? lol Can someone help me out here?
Other than that loved the trailers..looks like a lot of fun
Wife, and the guy in the speedo is somebody else.

Lol what do you think? As soon as I saw that I was pike Yup chase mission. I'm willing to bet that just like in Max Payne 3 there will be seamless cutscenes into gameplay.
lawl gotcha. I wonder if we get to chase after him haha
woman= Michael's wife
speedo half naked guy= assumed to be having an affair with her
older guy in the shirt= is Michael.

Thought the Trevor and Franklin trailors were okay, but the Michael one was really great.

Is this a troll post, or has that actually been confirmed somewhere? Honest question. Last I saw it hadn't been specified.

Trevor was lying on his back, shooting an AK on the wing of a plane.
Please tell me hats playable.

Trevor should be a huge parody of Saints Row, making it a Parody within a parody.

You're talking about GTAIV right?

It does look good... but Ubisoft have a way of making stuff seem great on paper, but a chore on the controller (*cough* ACIII *cough* Far Cry 3 *cough*), whereas Rockstar rarely put a foot wrong.
Have to agree with RockPaperShotgun assessment:

Seems really uninspired and badly written.

Michael trailer is best. Queen song (Radio Gaga) is perfect, and his character seems the most interesting so far.
Did i just see a juggalo in the trevor trailer?

Sometimes these guys just seem to have a stick up their ass.

That's what I thought.
They do.
Anyone expecting any other sort of trailer from Rockstar are either new to gaming or ignorant.
Nah, they just dislike the way Rockstar advertises. They don't show the actual gameplay, and to many people the cutscenes and stuff they always show off isn't enough to actually get them excited.

The dating stuff was removed from V according to past previews and interviews. Unless it's story based I guess.

The audio mix on the tennis scene is so accurate...
Seriously, Michael and Trevor could make for something special. I'm not seeing that from the Franklin character.

Sounded a lot like this guy already had negative views on GTA beforehand...
A good poster

Why show gameplay? Do they not know how a GTA game is going to play like?

The comments are full of hipsters too. I think some people should stay away from video games.

This comment is perfect:
"30/04/2013 at 16:38 Cara Ellison says:
I dont think Ive ever seen a game trailer so perfectly articulate These are the three types of people we are trying to make our money from. Kudos, PR. You know your shit."
After IV being so damn sluggish it would be nice to atleast see something to gauge what improvements from RDR/Max Payne they may have implemented, yeah.
Wonder if he made that because it won't be coming to PC? (at least for a few months after launch) Seems like a lot of conjecture for a Rockstar trailer. All of their trailers are made to look like movies with action, because that's what makes a good trailer.
Just think of what you do in GTA games. It's pure insanity, all the killing and hell raising. And then you put it up against someone like Nico who keeps wanting to escape his past of crime and violence, it is just silly. I am not saying they can't write a good story that is somewhat based in reality, but it's important to strike a balance in a game like this. I think vice city is still their best work using the GTA formula, and the series has not advanced much past that point when it comes to characters and story. I also dont like that they limit their story telling to the scope of movies. Games are not movies, and if you are really trying to push the medium, they should not resemble them as heavily as GTA games do.
I think they best thing they could do for the series is to advance the cities into something that is much more organic. Something that I could have days of fun in without missions and storyline. Obviously this trailer does not show the improved environment and city details very much so we will have to wait till the game is released to see what they have done.

Reminded me of Max Payne 3.

Technically I think some of that was gameplay. Just shown in a cinematic fashion. I can't imagine all those shooting sequences are cutscenes. They probably played parts of the game and used whatever techniques to make it cinematic mixing it with some cutscenes.

Pretty sure we already know what the review scores are gonna be for this game.

...and that's exactly the kind of games they make, too. They are very upfront about their movie influences, it's one of the reasons I like them so much.
Yea boi!
The article, yeah. I guess they're bummed out they didn't get invited to the press event that we'll know about on Thursday.
There's something called YouTube for gameplay, forums for user impressions etc.
Then look for reviews on the website you trust or user reviews.
I like what I've seen of Franklin, but I'm not too big on the story he's a part of. It seems very "been there, done that" ish, and maybe that's the whole point, to call back to San Andreas. Still, doesn't seem very exciting.
