Knife Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I just find it hard to believe that people actually watch the trailer and think the guy who's shown most clearly, is in the most scenes, is shown in a cutscene, is shown driving multiple vehicles and matches the voiceover is not the protagonist. Why does it seem more likely to people that this guy is NOT the protagonist rather than he is? If he's a non-playable character what is he doing in a cutscene but also shown driving multiple cars around? You can probably craft an explanation to suggest he's not the protagonist but the most simple explanation is "he is". Maybe, just maybe the guy in the red car is also playable. It's definitely interesting we see him more than once. But to say that he will be playable over the balcony guy just doesn't make sense. The trailer is all about him.

I never said balcony guy is not a playable protagonist... i'm just saying the hispanic guy is the main protagonist (i have a feeling he is) but i know both of them are probably playable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how do you know that the guy talking is balcony guy, Is there a proof the guy talking in the trailer is Ned Luke.. He could be someone else Yes, he could be. But again, I see more reason to think it is him rather than not him. The things he talks about are very protagonist-like: "Why did I move here" - New to the city, very protagonist-like "I wanted to retire from what I was doing you know. From that, that line of work. Be a good guy for once, be a family man." - Criminal past, new beginning Of course then he says "but well, you know how it is" and he bursts out of a van with an AK47 in hand and goes to bash in a jewellery store door. It is strongly implied that it's him and it's definitely not the voice of the hispanic guy. The voice over is from the protagonist, I think that's really clear. And if it's not balcony guy, then who is it? It surely has to belong to one of the guys in the store robbery scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the balcony guy is the protagonist (like you say), then what role the hispanic guy will play in the game, please dont tell me he is a normal ped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could be a character who you work with. He could be pretty insignificant. There's nothing to really suggest what his level of significance is. The balcony guy's significance is more clear.

Capricornus Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Indeed. There is also the possibility that the person who is talking in the trailer is not the protagonist, but someone that the actual protagonist grows very close to, thus leading the narrator of the trailer to explain his story to the actual protagonist. You never know, the narration could just be there to reveal the theme/tone of the game. I can see the "balcony guy" be a mentor to the hispanic guy in the red convertible. Time will reveal though.

ll rdny ll Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 IMHO balcony guy is the main protag, could careless if he's older coz so far all GTA protags have been a number of years older than myself. sh*t I'm skeptical balcony guy id Ned Luke, to me sounds like the voice actor who played Frank West. Btw what's with gtaghost getting Joan Crawford heat? It's got to be Ned Luke. The character looks like him and remember his demo reel. I LMAO when I read that reference to Joan... 'she' was a complete freak... seriously, [imgdurriseepalmtree/IMG] [imgitmustmeanismart/IMG] This palm tree also looks like these ones, does that mean that they are multiple protagonists? [supreme] I laughed so hard at you when I saw this. YOUR LOGIC: People are Trees Trees aren't unique like humans, Every tree looks fairly similar when it comes to their families, Palm / Pine / Whatever. Humans have different races, but even inside those different races they look pretty f*cking different, you racisct f*ck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTA-King Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Both narrated by protagonist. Both have a close up shot. Balcony guy is the GTA V protagonist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puttbutt Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I wonder if back then people were arguing about whether or not Niko was really the protagonist ahahaha Like maybe the protagonist was going to be the female cop or something.

GTA-King Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) ^ I don't know, but perhaps the close up in the V trailer is an easter egg to the IV trailer.

Knife's recent posts pretty much sums up why I think he's the protagonist I know everyone roots for who they want, but if some people would be more two-sided, then we can understand eachother better.
