[Akavari]

 

The purpose of this thread is to compile a list of all information gained from the GTA V Trailer. Post notable theories, and screenshots if possible. Let's try to build an organized analysis.

"Why did I move here? I guess it was the weather,

Or the, I don't know that thing, that magic,

You see it in the movies,

I wanted to retire from what I was doing,

You know, from that, that line of work,

Be a good guy for once, a family man,

So, I bought a big house, came here, put my feet up,

Thought I'd be a dad like all the other dad's,

My kids, will be like the kids on TV, we play ball and sit in the sun,

But, well, you know how it is."

 

Protagonist

The most prominently featured character in the teaser trailer is a middle-aged caucasian male. In various scenes he is respectively seen overlooking the city from a balcony, taking part in a jewelry store robbery, and driving a blue sports car. Based on the monologue from the trailer, it appears that he is a retired career criminal of sorts, moving to Los Santos to start a new life and raise children. As expected in GTA, things don't go as planned and he is pulled back into 'the life'. Dourvas is credited for making a connection to actor Ned Luke, who bears a strikingly similar appearance and a matching voice.

Re-opening this thread because we need an actual analysis thread, and not just general banter/questions/observations.

 

EVERYONE:

Keep this thread on topic. Post serious theories, with evidence (screenshots, relevant links).

This is not the place for discussion or back-and-forth Q&A.

5/24/12 seems to be the expected release date. at :55 seconds we see a number on the curb that reads 2405.

The jet ski is the Speedophile 2000

The license plates clearly all say 'San Andreas' on them

....confirming it is San Andreas

 

You can read Los Santos on the street sign to the left of the hobo.

Could this be the mc? i don't know but i swear i seen him a few times in the trailer i'm a go re watch it but i think hes also in the red car with the convertible top and getting out of the van with a gas mask on, but that older guy was seen a few times maybe it is true that there will be more then 1 mc.( nvm sure that isn't him in the red car cuz i don't see tattoos on his arm there.)

Transcript from the trailer gives you a few details, but nothing concrete:

 

 

Why did I move here?

I guess it was the weather,

Or the, I don't know that thing, that magic,

You see it in the movies,

I wanted to retire from what I was doing,

You know, from that, that line of work,

Be a good guy for once, a family man,

So, I bought a big house, came here, put my feet up,

Thought I'd be a dad like all the other dad's,

My kids, will be like the kids on TV, we play ball and sit in the sun,

But, well, you know how it is.

 

Male protagonist, who isn't a native of San Andreas/Los Santos, he has a family which made him wish to retire from devious dealings, but he is seemingly drawn back into this lifestyle, why? Well, you know how it is.

Dude you forgot to mention JETS!!!!!!!!!! (private and military) Why would we need jets if there is just one airport to land at? Heres hoping its not just LS.

Am I the only one who sees this as an updated graphical CJ?

 

I mean hes wearing pretty much the same as CJ does default.

I think the "Mile High Club" development will progress through the game or something. Or maybe part of the storyline would involve hustling union members or something for the mafia.

[XTREME0235]

A possible activity/job to earn money in GTA V?

I'm referring to flying the 'Crop duster' by the way, not being the people that stand there.

Person on the yellow bike, fingerless gloves!!

Most likely a cutscene

[the shape]

one employee confirmed story mode coop, so maybe the main char is the older guy and u can play as the other chars we saw in the trailer.

 

also...he confirmed the mc dies and u play as his brother, who inherits all his money. which also leads me to believe the game will have multiple chars/stories

Thanks for reopening it, I worked hard last night making the headers haha. I'll get to work adding all these facts as fast as my little fingers can type!!
