I´m entirely convinced we will have multiple protagonists.
Seems like a very "Rockstar" thing to do, especially since they started it in GTA IV and had it in RDR too.
Moving back and forth pulp fiction style between different stories that have a lot of crossover would be awesome.
In the end you will have to pick one character and kill the other two (wild guess)
I´d say the older guy as a playable character is a safe bet. I consider the first trailer to be "his" trailer, explaining his motivations.
Black guy has been featured a lot recently so he´s my pick for second character and second trailer.
I like the balding guy a lot - but I also like the Idea of playing as a female cop.
Of course I could (and might) be completely wrong. We´ll see later today.

well, as evidence by the ballad of gay tony, rockstar has learned their mistakes. i think that's why they already jumped to gta v. because it will be a very new game. unlike the grayness that gta iv left behind.
They already made the best open-world game this generation. More of a "continue to be great" I'd say =D

Or the main game is a single protagonist but they're demoing characters that will be playable via DLC a lá episodes from Liberty City?
There's definitely going to be a bunch of countryside. Doubt it on the horses, though.

I don´t think the GTA IV episodes really payed off for Rockstar. I don´t expect to get DLC this huge this time around.
Especially since we will be in full next gen mode right after e3.

Very much a shame then as they were the ideal way of doing DLC, really breathed new life into the same city.
Agree.
GTA:IV is my favorite game this gen.
All the games they've made this gen have been leading up to this.
All the refinements of their engine,the movement of characters,fixing their biggest weakness:using weapons, the physics,the writing and characterization.
It all leads here.
Like they've said this is their biggest game ever.
What I really hope for are better melee fights.
Also, I hope for more than "bringing back" or what we have already had in the serires, like quad bikes, bikes, jets and all that. Something more freshening, indeed like the dogs, horses, fairies, riding the canals or something. Maybe real scary thunder storms to make a great atmosphere.
I think this is the first time I'm excited for a GTA, besides San Andreas which I were also excited about back in the days.

I fully agree with you. Unfortunately it has become very apparent that gamers are willing to pay the same for a lot less when it comes to DLC.
Oh they'll no doubt be doing DLC.
I'm hoping they do another crazy one like RDR:Undead Nightmare.
I think if the GTA:Episodes were released digitally and on disc on the same day they would have done much better. But obviously they had two games to put out. So they had to wait.
I also think the last few years console people have become more comfortable buying bigger digital games.

How was the story based element of Undead Nightmare? I got a 'primarily multiplayer' vibe from it so I avoided it.
Yeah, that's true.
Also sort of wish they hadn't gone 360 exclusive at first. A release on all three platforms would have been better (though I'm sure they got a mountain of cash from Microsoft).
It's fantastic. Marston put in the apocalyptic situation that Undead Nightmare sets up is hilarious, and it has a bunch of neat cameos from other story characters.
Also has some cool additions out in the wild that I don't want to spoil.

I liked TLAD but hated and I mean hated TBOGT.
Luis is such a shitty character surrounded by more obnoxious, shitty characters.
I'll take a game full of cell phone calls from Roman than play that again.
The DLCs were well done generally but it really showed how stale the formula had become.

Oooh colour me intrigued, I might have to pick up the stand alone then.
Really? Hmm. I think Gay Tony is really, really fun. Love Luis and Tony.
Only people I don't like are his two childhood friends. Armando...and the other guy. Both of 'em are annoying as shit and I wish the story didn't have Luis help them out.

Tony and Yusuf are the best characters from GTA4 imo.

That doesn't mention Jetski guy?
The description and pic seem to be legit but released too early by Shortlist but we don't know if that's the main character yet.
well both articles i've seen have that pic so they may be implying that but not totally mentioning because journalism

My prediction: One protagonist, and it's Ned Luke.
I say no way, there will be three protagonist. you wanna bet?
In any case all will be revealed today.
Do a ban bet!

I usually don't like 50cent but this is actually pretty good. Remember me some good stuff from Warren G and D.Dre.
Yes, the episodes sold less than expected and this time they need to move quickly to the next gen. Dan Houser already spoke on the matter.

haha,I´m joking,obviously.

I think they copied that quote from a magazine. Well, unless it's a R* statement

Uah! First time when I hear this song from 50Cent. It will be excelent for the intro and credits. Reminds me a lot of San Andreas.
Yep. Just for the cover art reveal, though. The full thing won't launch until a few hours after that.

What a bizarre statement. By the time V releases IV will be 5 years old. You don't see what significant features they could have added over 5 years? This generation has evolved in a gargantuan way over that period. And even going by Rockstars efforts last gen, they went from 3 to San Andreas which was a leap I don't think anybody was expecting.
SO SOON. I loved the Episodes. I realize that perhaps the model may not be successful. Those 15 hour adventures were $19.99. These days, we've got publishers (Rockstar included) charging more than twenty dollars for a season pass of just multiplayer additions. It's upsetting- but I've got hope because Undead Nightmare was really wonderful.
In all honesty, I liked how L.A. Noire played it- single case additions, added throughout for $9.99. Unfortunately, the game didn't feel complete without the cases even if they offered more content as time progressed. And, this was one of our first introductions to Season passes. Most publishers are doing this now- but they charge so much, and offer so little.
Edit: And Luis Lopez was my favorite protagonist in Liberty City! Buckethead and I disagree on everything character related!

Weve had virtually no information whatsoever for the past year since the trailer, apart from a handful of screens.
And now were only hours away from pages & pages of details. Excitement rising.

Nice, but damn there could be a whole new thread about the interviewer. It just doesn't make any sense.
Each new case was $9.99? That's just obscene, if so.
