COVER
INFO
- Three Protagonists: Trevor (redneck), Michael (older white guy), and Franklin (black/mixed guy).
- Each character has his own personality, motivation, and skillset.
- Vehicles: cars and trucks, bikes (BMX, mountain), dirtbikes, ATVs, helicopters, planes, and jet skis.
- Los Santos in GTA V is bigger than the worlds of RDR, San Andreas, and GTA IV combined.
- Heists will be predominantly featured in GTA V. (Heat, anyone?)
- Customize your look but not San Andreas style RPG elements.
- Side-missions that Rockstar mentioned include: yoga, triathlons, tennis, and golf.
- Random NPC encounters are back and more developed.
Rockstar Promises:
- More fleshed out missions ala "Three Leaf Clover" in GTA IV.
- More complex side missions and activities similar to Red Dead. "It's better to have one really good mini game than five half-assed ones that aren't fun".
- Better driving controls
- Improved shooting mechanics
- Refined melee combat
- Vibrant in-game economy (but no buying property)
