Some site called Click compiled all the info we know. I weeded out the stuff we already knew.

•GTA 5 "evolves nearly every mechanic" found in previous games in the series. •Each character has their own specific abilities and story arc, with all three stories intertwined. •No major actors cast as any of the main characters. •Focus on making more diverse missions. •Heists and bank robberies are a big theme to the game. •Characters will work together during missions, and you can switch between characters mid-mission to fulfil different roles. For example, during a chase sequence you can pilot the getaway helicopter as Trevor, snipe pursuing pilots as Franklin, or fire an assault rifle as Michael. •Missions will have a "very different tone depending on who's on them, how many people are on them, and how much we're using switches", says Houser. •More vehicles than in any GTA to date. •Improved shooting and melee combat. Melee combat "never going to be as big a deal as shooting," though, warns Houser. •Pedestrians are fully mo-capped and more interactive. •You can rappel down buildings, although it's not confirmed whether this is specific to certain missions. •Los Santos is described as a "huge and diverse city", combining the best of Red Dead Redemption's "large open expanses" with GTA IV's "densely packed urban environment". •GTA: San Andreas was about gang culture. GTA 5 is about capturing the "contemporary culture of LA". •There will be a "vibrant and fun" economy, but you won't be able to buy property. •Each character will have unique hobbies, including "one or two key minigame activities per character". •San Andreas' RPG-like player customization is still absent, but you can customize the clothing of each character. •GTA IV's romance feature has been removed. •Like in GTA IV, players can make friends and hang out with certain NPCs, including Michael's wife Amanda and son Jimmy, Franklin's "crazy friend" Lamar, and Trevor's mate Ron. •GTA IV's mobile phone returns, but a lot of its features have been altered. You can use it to access the internet. •Dynamic missions - hidden missions dotted around the game world. "Going off-road in the desert, you may come across two parked cars and a sea of dead bodies around them... Investigate if you want."
