StalinBballin Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 In the trailer, the man talks about his kids right before he stops talking all together. He says: "...and my kids would be like the kids on TV. We'd play ball together, sit in the sun but... well, you know how it is." Doesn't this strikes anyone as a strange place to stop talking about your kids? Doesn't he have pride in them? Or is he just a bad dad? Did they screw up growing up? Well.. It leads me to believe and speculate that we will be playing the game as every male family member and whoever is best suited for the job (mission), does that mission, or maybe they may all come along with you which could be EXACTLY what we see when the man on the balcony gets out of the van and two more fully grown men go out the back. A family of crime that has money and status established. Maybe? Now, doesn't that sound just like they type of "bold new direction in open-world freedom, storytelling, mission-based gameplay" that R* would be taking? What does everyone else think?

Rhoda Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I don't think he's referring to "playing ball" as being a metaphor. It's a nice thought, but I literally thing he's bringing his children for a new life but gets roped into a criminal underbelly he wished to escape. Just my opinion though.

StalinBballin Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 I don't think he's referring to "playing ball" as being a metaphor. It's a nice thought, but I literally thing he's bringing his children for a new life but gets roped into a criminal underbelly he wished to escape. Just my opinion though. But see, he says in the beginning: "I wanted to retire from what I was doing. From that.. that line of work. Be a good guy for once. Be a FAMILY man." See? Why would he be so stupid as to purposely put himself back into the life of crime? It's obvious he was a criminal in the past, so something big is going to have to happen for him to be tricked or forced back in to the criminal lifestyle, I'm thinking it could involve his kids. Imagine if his kids are now full grown and one is a gang member...? I could speculate forever. And I didn't see "playing ball" as a metaphor either.

Rhoda Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I think a lot of people are going to suspect that his family play a part, but I think it'll be children. Don't ask me how they'll pull that off, or how they'll go about incorporating them into the storyline, but I think they'll be part of a kidnap plot from an old boss. I never really gave much thought to the plot because the trailer is so ambiguous it's hard to nail just what will what happen and why it happens.

Gtaghost22 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I only know one thing.. The Hispanic guy (in red car) is going to be a protagonist in GTA V, i dont know if there are other protagonists, the only thing i'm sure of is that we WILL play as the hispanic guy in GTA V at least in some missions (if not all of them) PS: Nice theory mate..

Snake Without a Tongue Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 You are all wrong. Kids were a hypothetical thing. Balcony guy, distinctly non-Latino, is the protag. And it'll just be the one guy. That's my bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn 7 five 11 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) I don't think he's referring to "playing ball" as being a metaphor. It's a nice thought. And that's where it ends, not a good thing to have kids being depicted as criminals, well thought out buddy, not. There is no hidden metaphors in that sentence, "play ball" literally means play ball, thanks for wasting my time though .

It will take so much time to explain... I already explained before in other threads, one of the reasons i think he is going to be a protagonist in GTA V is: if you look at the scene (in the trailer) where there are 3 guys getting out of the van and ready to rob a bank.. If you look closely at the driver you will notice he is the same guy (Hispanic dude) that was driving the red car earlier in the trailer! and as you may know the protagonist is ALWAYS the one who drives in previous GTAs not the one getting out of the back seat... I know you will say why is he sitting in the car instead of doing all the action (robbing the bank) my theory is that scene is only a cut-scene in the game, maybe something will happen after they go in to rob the bank and we have to help them kill/escape the cops.. I dont know , that is only one of the reasons why i'm 99% sure that the hispanic guy is going to be the(a) protagonist in GTA V Edited March 11, 2012 by Gtaghost22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurrikane Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Albert De Silva is the protag, a la Ned Luke. In the casting calls released last March 2011, Desilva has two sons, Simon and Albert De Silva. Simon is his son driving the red convertible, also will be protag-playable Albert from the casting calls is fat, lazy, plays fps games all the time. During the heist of the bank, there are three people, one outside of van, Looks like Albert De Silva, Simon, and CJ i believe is the black guy. So yea def multiple protags. I assume V protags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ps3blaze22 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Good theory, but i really hate the idea of playing with multiple protagonists, i want one protagonist like old GTA games @Gtaghost22 good theory, but i still think the old guy (Ned luke) is the protagonist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HydraulicWaRiOr Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 No. First of all, he's talking in future-tense. We'd being we would (Being "if we had the chance" and the chance is if he decides to have kids.) Thought I'd being I would He doesn't have any kids, he's talking about how he may plan to have kids in the future, so again. No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cole Phelps Gta Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) I hope to god you're wrong topic starter. John marston was the most boring lame lifeless character of all time. He was a shell of a man and a cliche. I balme his family tbo. He never wanted no drama he was bitch made. My point is the protag doesn't need a family he needs a personality.

Vanzant Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) I agree with HydrolicWarrior, he's simply saying he moved to Los Santo's to leave his old life behind to build a family but he didn't instead he goes back to whatever he was involved with. The speech you're hearing is what you're probably going to hear after halfway through the games story line. I agree with HydrolicWarrior That was of course his earlier post in this thread. Please don't turn this topic into a thread about who you think the main actor/protagonist is going to be. We have 30+ threads for that and that will get this one locked.

Honest Bill Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I agree with the OP. I had the same thought, that the family crew is the protagonist, and we may be able to choose between playable characters. The older guy who is speaking, may not even be playable, maybe he is the mission giver and leader, but you play as his sons (the crew) ******POTENTIAL RED DEAD REDEMPTION SPOILER****** They were banging on about a bold new direction in storytelling, and they couldn't have failed to notice all the Plaudits that Red Dead Redemption's story received, and decided that the whole epic generational story thing could be taken to another level. Or....Perhaps we will get to play as a character in different eras, the narrator in the trailer seems to be harking back to the past.. Rockstar couldn't have failed to notice the popularity of the nostalgic elements of Vice City and San Andread. Maybe the game will tell his whole life story, from when he was young and upcoming, moving to LA for the weather and the magic, to when he is older and has made it big.. I guess we will have to wait to find out though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a lazy douche who doesn't want to get a legit job, so he takes his mediocre driving skills, and puts them to use as a driver for 'Nedluke' It's just as likely as anything else at this point.

Asians get passed over in all entertainment mediums except games developed specifically in Asia -- and sometimes not even then. For a long time I was really hoping Niko was middle-eastern.

Ned Luke Why does every gang member have to be considered a self-centered asshole and every mafia member some sort of deep saint? The hispanic guy looks more like he's trying to sit back and enjoy life to me. However, Ned Luke seems as if he is looking for someone, as represented within a visual metaphor of staring off of a balcony and driving around. Just because the hispanic guy is trying to get laid doesn't mean he doesn't have some sort of deep inner conflict. For all you know, he could be trying to resolve is inner conflict and escape his past using happiness rather than Niko's form of being overly dramatic and depressed.
