http://media.gtanet.com/gallery/gta-5-trai...michael_029.jpg A bit of destructible environment, love it!

Cut-scene.

I'm a little curious about moments like that. Assuming it's part of a mission, does that mean that when you return to that area, the wall is still broken? After the mission when Michael goes after the guy who's having an affair with his wife, does his window remain broken and the big bush pot still on the ground? It would be pretty cool if there's a sense of continuity in that regard.

I imagine it will be like the railing in a bridge near Grove St. in GTA: SA (where Tenpenny crashes in the end). You can destroy it anytime you want, but that part is the only destructible one.

I love that kind of thing too and I get the feeling Rockstar themselves are also - they've been experimenting with it in IV already and even moreso Red Dead.

It gives a true sense of the game world having it's very own time and space that's always there waiting for you.

 

 

@bluetops: The fact that you could break it outside of the mission was an unintentional bug

Oh. I always thought it was an easter egg.

what is Michael's motivation to get back in the game

 

 

the thrills?... he has to have a bigger motive then that

 

 

i mean how are we suppose to sympathize with a rich guy that has some problems... i mean he is rich.........

He's had the time. He's had the power. He's yet to have... His finest hour.

As the therpist says he is adicted to chaos and he admits that he is Misrable and rich, quite average for this town. I guess that he could be atempting to be happy, and he is thinking that when he robbed banks and sh*t was a time he was happy so he thinks he should get back in the game, just to get a rush

Look how much younger Michael's character model looks and how much better GTA 5 looks overall.  Also, does he remind anyone else of Adam Sandler?

Mike at the release of GTA V:

In TBoGT, There's that mission that introduces the sticky bombs, and you destroy a crane. I noticed that the damage was still there through the rest of the game, so I'd say very possible. I'd go as far to say, if they don't do that again, it's a big step backward.

in the trailer the gun the is placed next to teh money in the robbery does not have a magazine in it. Also they changed his voice quite a bit i doubt they have a new voice actor but from trailer 1 and to even number 2 you can tell his voice has changed slightly. I love Michael's character concept. He gets out of the game had the thrills and lust for life, went in protection was granted new identity, money and such yet now he is bored. Much like other men's mid life crisis, Michael needs the chaos to have a high. His wife is cheating on him, his daughter is a slut and his son well by the way the second trailer projected "This is Franklin the son i always wanted", his real son is a failure to him and not the successor his father wanted him to be. So with money a big house and everything he could want he is bored with life and his family. He needs the action to feel alive again because those were the best times of his life.

Mid-life Crisis. Some guys buy fancy sports cars. Michael robs banks.

I pity a lot of rich people. That's almost the same thing.

As Michael drives down the hill in front of the Vinewood sign, first he is driving towards the camera and then away from it.

 

It is a different road in each shot.

 

In the first image, note how the camera is to the left of the Vinewood sign and there are no visible lines on the road surface:

In the second image, note the location of the building as well as the painted lines on the road:

The second image must have been taken from the road where the arrow is pointing, while the first image was taken on a road that is slightly to the left of the Vinewood sign and obscured from view in this screenshot:

Edit: The yellow arrow is pointing to the general area of where the first shot was taken of Michael driving down the hill with the sign in the background:

Looks like they corrected the Los Puerta. It says La Puerta now. Which is correct. Also, notice the Light Rail caternary up on the expressway.

What a masterpiece, what little we've seen so far. There's proof of a working carnival in the Michael trailer. I wonder if it's there all the time, or if it's just open for a few missions, or if we'll be on some kind of calender now. And I wonder how fun the carnival is. Probably made it pretty good, lots to do.

THAT IS F*CKING BRILLIANT!!!!!

I just google'd the lyrics to the Queen song and found out he says "I sit at home...and watch your light" instead.

Well, still a great way to combine the audio and video here. R* is untouchable when it comes to trailers. This triplet is living proof for that.

I love how R* is parodying today's spoiled youth through Jimmy & Tracey. It's going to be great seeing Michael deal with this...

so in Micheal's trailer, during the scene where the guy jumps out of the window in his underwear, the girl screaming "Dont hurt him!" that was Micheal's wife right?

 

I know he has a crazy family but that just proves that his wife is cheating, correct?

I think they are taking over the car lot Franklin is working for. In the previews they said we can take over business

Do people like you actually read the threads here?

Or do you just ask a question when you personally want to know the answer.
