Oh f*ck yes!

Of the three, Franklin seems like he'll be my favourite. But God those trailers make me happy.

Zero-Cool · 30-04-2013 04:10PM

Yesssssssssssss!

Trevor is getting 100% play time!

shrewdness · 30-04-2013 04:11PM

"Nice new tits by the way!"

Trevor

Penn · 30-04-2013 04:13PM

Trevor definitely seems like he's going to be the fan favourite, but I quite liked Michael's too and think his story will be the most interesting.

Awesome trailers though. Really sets up the differences in characters and lifestyles.

Zero-Cool · 30-04-2013 04:15PM

Yeah looks like we will get to see 3 unique stories instead of 3 generic characters doing the same thing when you take control of them. Man, dunno how I will wait the month or so for PS4 to release to buy this!

CMpunked · 30-04-2013 04:16PM

I liked it.
They have clearly done some work in the animation when you compare it to the first. And if that is am example of what they can get done when they push the release date back then it all seems worth it.

I'd go as far as to say that you get a Vice City vibe off Micheal's trailer, a san andreas 'LA hood' vibe off franklin and a san andreas country style vibe off tervor.

Interesting choice, or if its only marketing, by Rockstar.

It's not on PS4, and PS4 won't be backwards compatible, so you can buy it release day for PS3

I've already decided I'm getting on launch day for 360, and then getting it again for 720/PS4 if it's as good as IV.

Trevor definitely looks like he'll be the most fun to play. I'd imagine there could be some influence from Breaking Bad in his storyline, looked like he was cooking meth.

Really looking forward to this game. I wonder will there be an element of decision making at the end of the storylines, where they begin to betray each other, and you have to decide which character to finish with. It offer a nice bit of re playability if there was.

jd007 · 30-04-2013 04:24PM

I

Trevor.

wnolan1992 · 30-04-2013 04:25PM

I wonder will they bring in some of the elements from Chinatown Wars to V for Trevor? Maybe a meth cooking mini-game? You make the meth, sell it, buy different drugs, sell them. I used to love the drug selling in the Scarface game, and haven't played a game since that does it.

listermint · 30-04-2013 04:26PM

Yep,

il take that.

Passenger · 30-04-2013 04:26PM

It's a little more insight into the characters anyway. Now for some gameplay footage/details.

I though it would surely be released on PS4 as well. I was gonna wait to get the best (hopefully) version but if it's only being released on this gen machines (would be very weird) then it makes my wait shorter

There's a good chance the PS4 won't see a European release until early 2014, and even if it does release 2013 I doubt it will have GTA V from the off. I really wouldn't recommend waiting if you're at all excited about playing this game.

dave1982 · 30-04-2013 04:29PM

The strippers ass!!!!

Nothing much really was hoping for gameplay, how will the game work do you pick your man at the start or do you play it like assassins creed characters swap around?

E3 is where my money is at for that.

Well that's another couple months to wait then. Man do Rockstar like to build the anticipation.

Zero-Cool · 30-04-2013 04:31PM

shyte! Wanted to play Batman Origins on PS4. Feck it so, PS3 till 2014! Gonna be a long summer waiting for this.

CMpunked · 30-04-2013 04:36PM

June 11-13. It's not ideal but at least we have an idea of a time frame as to when more news is coming.

Zero-Cool · 30-04-2013 04:38PM

Does anyone know who is doing the voice acting? Walton Goggins would have been perfect for Trevor but I think the main characters are all unknowns?

I could be wrong, but I thought Rockstar have never done GTA stuff at E3 before?

Also, anyone else notice that all of Franklin's buddies wore green. Are they the Grove Street gang?

Hoop66 · 30-04-2013 04:41PM

Grove Street 4 LYFE

*does complicated hand sign*

I think a frame by frame analysis of the trailers will reveal a lot about the idiosyncrasies of the characters and the plot, etc.

bladebrew · 30-04-2013 04:45PM

A big nod to the film Heat at the start of Michaels trailer, the cash van robbery Is identical to the film,
Looks feckin brilliant though in fairness, can't wait now!

MattHelders · 30-04-2013 04:54PM

Love the look of Franklin. Anyone know the song played during his trailer?

gnfnrhead · 30-04-2013 04:56PM

I also got the CJ feeling off Franklin. The other two however seem unique, especially Trevor. Could maybe argue for Michael and Tommy but its not a strong link imo. Michael's story seems the best, but Trevor still looks the most fun.

Was it just me or did one of the other voices sound like Ken Rosenberg near the start of Trevor's? Doesnt look anything like him though and we know he's from a different universe.
