LOL raging kids... stop complaining about his age.

the best MC are middle aged men, and riding a bmx with an 40 or 50 years old man will be epic

I'm 26 yrs old, the thing is I want someone closer to my own age 20-30 something because it is more relatable.

I have no idea why a 40-50 yr old hasn't just settled down and got his act together, seems like a very sad man indeed.

I'm 29 and I want to see someone who is a seasoned veteran and not an amateur street punk. Character usually comes with age. Remember the Fruntin sign in Times Square in IV. Makes a younger protag. seem lame.

The middle-aged guy doesn't look that old. Maybe in his mid-40's.

 

I would have liked a protagonist in his early 20's who ages as the player progresses though the game. smile.gif

To all these people saying they couldn't imagine an "old' man riding a BMX did it make much sense for CJ that he could be dressed up as a trucker, or a cowboy in SA? Since when does that make sense for a gangbanger from the ghetto?

 

I really hope it's the older guy. I enjoyed playing as Ezio when he was older compared to when he was a 17 year old in ACIII.

Yeah it'd look a bit off for a middle aged man to ride a BMX, but then again CJ looked a bit off driving a monster truck or flying a jet. I mean some guy in street clothes just walks up to a military piece of hardware and flies it...it's going to set off some alarms. (And yes I know he went to flight school, it still looks odd him in no G suit etc.)

 

Luis said he wasn't much of a golfer...and after you do it in a mission you can go and be tiger woods if you wanted to.

 

Not only that, you could dress CJ totally out of character like Miamivicecity said, though the pimp suit and the cheetah skin coy bow hat where the bomb lol.

 

In short Rockstar can do what ever the hell they want.

 

So here here to the older guy!

The only reason I disliked 17yo Ezio was his screechy ass voice. ha

 

I don't think there's enough proof to tag the old guy as the protagonist nor do I think the narrator fits Ned Luke's voice. I wouldn't mind it being him but just hate see people all like "ITS OBVIOUSLY THE OLD GUY U R DUM IF U DUN THINK SO". Hell for all we know Rockstar put on their troll pants and didn't even show the protagonist. If they don't already have the second trailer put together I hope they make it point to show the protag in an undeniable fashion to put this beast down once and for all.

This is almost as stupid as all those nerds saying they couldn't play as CJ because they couldn't "relate" to him.

Let's recap;

 

We saw a character in the trailer and thanks to sharp-eyed forum users we're pretty sure we know who the actor is. We heard his story in the trailer, we know a little about him...

 

...BUT WHY DOES THAT MAKE HIM THE MAIN CHARACTER?

 

For all we know we'll see another three or four characters in similar trailers between now and release time!

People are just too fast to jump on an idea and treat it as absolute fact. I'm just gonna wait and see. It's the same deal as with people thinking it's only gonna be LS and some countryside just because of a single sentence in a press release but ignore the whole "re-imagined southern California" part of the same press release. If Ned Luke is the protagonist that's fine. If he's not that's fine too.

Watch a blockbuster action movie.

 

Bruce Willis, John Travolta, Nicholas Cage, Tom Cruise...

 

They're all getting on but they make blowing sh*t up and killing hundreds of people single handedly look easy.

I think a more to true to life example would be the Navy SEALs that raided Osama's compound. The average age of a person on that team was 38. Nuff' said.

  there will be no bmx in the game, just as props.

Sorry - and how the f*ck do you know?

I dunno if you knew this, but the moderators here on GTAF get inside info in GTA.

I remember when i was a mod i used to be in the loop.

I think its most likely that the rich and experienced protagonist will lose everything when he starts getting in trouble again.

I'm sorry but I've never anything more BS than this.

 

Nobody but Rockstar know anything about the game. If anybody knew ANTYHING it would be IGN. They are the biggest game site in the world. Sorry to offend but a fan forum of GTA isn't going to get anything from Rockstar, prior to official released news in the mass media.

Well but now I'm thinking others about it. The main character who's probaly talking in the trailer CAN be the main character because you can see him many times in the trailer but indeed he's too old?

Now i'm thinking one of his kids is the mian character? Not??

As we have heard and seen in the trailer it is most likely that the main charecter will be an 40-50 year old man. I dont mind an older charecter but i am wondering how rockstar will handle it. If his old he would run slow, low jump and also i though the bike will be returning but i cant imagine an old man riding around los santos on a bmx. What do you guys think, do you think rockstar can keep an old protagonist and avoid all those problems? (this also supports the theory of multiple protagonists because you might be able to play as the younger guy aswell who would look better on a bike.

Nikos old and he was fine protagonist

Niko came out of the army, GTA V protagonist is wearing a suite..

Why not? Who knows it?

This protagonist is a little bit to old? Idk but i don't think he's going to kill for money and doing things for other people when he's wearing a suite AND dad?

Holy crap, this made me laugh so hard. I'm hoping you achieved that deliberately.

 

You think Tony Montana had that big shootout in Scarface and then settled down with a nice girl in the midwest?

 

He is a sad man! They'll all sad men! They're criminals!

Well, in GTA V you need to do the missions for other people.

Maybe it's changed? Maybe your the boss and you're going to do more robbing missions or kipnapping sh*t? But thanks this reaction is see something others in him, I see an icecold killer.

Lol i don't know exactly.. we need to wait!

Idt the protagonist will be old/Middle aged. His voice doesn't really sound old/Middle aged to me. I think he will be in his late 20s to early 30s.

 

How old was Nico, by the way? Just wondering confused.gif

Niko was 30 years old and Johnny 34 years old, which makes him the oldest protagonist out of the GTA IV series.

Narcis hit the nail on the head, why are you people acting like he’s 80 and need a change of depends?

 

If I remeber right, Tommy was around 40 him self and he did some of the most bad ass stuff in GTA, how many other people jumped a PCJ-600 from sky scraper to skyscraper all to activate a spotlight to display a giant pair of tits on a wall to advertise for the Protag’s porn studio?

 

If the protag is the narrator/balcony guy, then I’m glad most of my fav protags have all been 30 or over (Niko, Tommy and Johnny though I do like CJ and Luis and I think they where both younger, and CJ was cool at first but IMO got old real quick, still I like him) and he sounds interesting, and like he knows the criminal life quite a bit already.

Tommy was 36.

God he's not old you little pukes. Middle aged. Considering most of you little pukes are under 15 years old I can understand why you think someone older than your dad must be old a dirt. Grow up. He'll be a great character. Roughly the same age as Tommy and John Marston.

I don't have a problem with an old man but I don't think that rahkstar2.gif is going to have protag that runs slowly

Yeah, true, but he didn't looks like a real gangster?

Niko was old, but he looks like a gangster?

CJ was a niger, he looks like a gangster,

All the other characters looked like gangsters.

He doesn't look like a gangster, that's the reason why everybody is crying biggrin.gif

He totally looks like a gangster, he kind of reminds me of Robert De Niro in the movie Heat. I'd love if was that kind of character.

If he's the same age as the actor (Ned Luke), he's 53. All you have to do is look at his demo reel - the guy is a badass. He will be a perfect protagonist. In fact, based on his demo reel, I think we can even get a few signature quotes for him to utter within the game:

 

"I've been thinkin' about cutting him anyhow."

"You stupid slut..!"

(After hitting pedestrians at a red light) "It was green, it had to be!"

"You're sayin' my little girl was raped...? This is good news. smile.gif"

 

Come on, who wouldn't want to play as this guy? biggrin.gif
