I'm pretty sure that this will be a brand new character in a modern day San Andreas. They've never brought back the main character from a past GTA as the main character for another GTA. Yes, Claude was in San Andreas, but I'm talking about who you actually are. That's not to say this won't feature any characters from past GTAs, but the guy talking in the trailer, who I assume you are in the game, isn't an older Tommy Vercetti, even if IGN is speculating.

I would, given exactly what you said next. There being no new console kinda puts a damper on that, and they're probably not playing with the new tech, so....

Hasney is the worst mod ever. The Mackem wouldn't have stood for this outrage. He was a man of tradition. Way to ruin DS's return by obliterating the official GTA V thread.

I hope you all realize that you will be missing out on the incredible GTA V coverage that DS typically brought to these threads.

Yeah, If Hasney had read the thread and seen how mint it was he wouldn't have done this.
I think DS should just create a new one and get what we were originally going to have. |

I just hope it strikes the same tone as San Andreas. Also I want the harrier and jetpack back.

I hope the turf wars are gone. Anything that involves having to rush back and defend something while you are fucking around. Fuck that

Yeah I'd checked that earlier, but then I'd remembered that some big games usually come out later in the week, usually Friday, and thought it was possible

So far I only know of releases on Sunday (Nintendo), Tuesday and Friday. I seriously doubt they would release on a Thursday.

I've heard it a few times it has to do more of when shipments arrive at stores as a way for stores to save money with shipments. Non-Tuesday games might have custom shipment dates like how Nintendo releases a few big titles on Sundays.

There's technically nothing stopping them from releasing on a Thursday, there's just no precedent for it

Watching an IGN breakdown of the trailer, they point out that a sign for I-5 is shown (the Las Puerta Fwy sign). Not being from California I didn't quite get the relevance, but apparently I-5 is a major highway that connects almost all of the major cities. Could just be "another road" but given the importance of it in real life and it getting an intentional close up in the trailer it could be a hint

Well, officially can't wait. Haven't read the last few pages, but fuck yeah.
Also, for size comparison, assuming this is anywhere near correct, holy fucking shit: That's two SA maps in RDR's. It's going to be 2.5 times that? What the fuck? |

Gamestop had a report that Rockstar was putting the finishing touches on the mini-games, so it seems like a large portion of the game is already done.
GTA 4 was a special case with the delay. The other GTAs came out six months after the trailer. It’s speculated they wanted to add in multiplayer after feeling some pressure, but I’ve never seen that confirmed. Some people have noted the dates seen at the end of the Ballad of Gay Tony and in the trailer - they all say May 24th. The song in the trailer was released on a May 24th. These could be hints from Rockstar. I’m not one to jump the gun, but the coincidences are too strong to ignore. I really think we’ll see this game next May. |

Tommy Vercetti doesn't make sense to me. Perhaps there could be a mission where you go and visit someone on Grove Street, and CJ pays them a visit, but I just don't see Rockstar going back to Tommy. It just seems like a better choice to start fresh to build a better backstory.
