I was bored and i started thinking about how the story may start in this GTA. There is obviously endless possibilities, but with the trailer clues and the confirmation of Los Santos and surrounding land, i stated to narrow down some ideas in my mind. I know most of you wont really care too much about this until you play it, but there's no harm in discussing it. The protagonist mentions in the trailer, why did i move here? That's a clue he's only just got there, and possibly by chance after quitting his old line of work? He mentions having kids, but that doesn't mean he actually has any yet. Also, Rockstar are still being tight lipped about the rest of the map so far. So this could hint to a something extra we weren't quite expecting beyond Los Santos. My first prediction: You start off in a 4-door family car, with your wife. You control the vehicle, and have to drive through some nice rural landscapes, passing through small towns along the way. You guys are talking about all the things you're going to do when you get to the new house, decorating and stuff, blah blah... Then suddenly a blacked out Sentinel rams into the back of their car. Two more are tailing them. The protagonist says something like "Shit, they've found us", and you now have to try and lose them whilst they ram and shoot at your car. You go off-road over some rocky terrain, and start to follow a "set route" (set, being you don't know you're following it, you just do it because the map is set in a way you just follow the semiotic signs) and then the cars eventually do their set barrel roll routines and diving off of canyon edges, missing a bridge, and those sorts of animations after a nice lengthy chase. The protag and his wife have a little talk about the incident after finally shaking them, getting back onto a freeway. You go through a toll booth and enter Los Santos, triggering a nice little radio message saying "The weather is perfect here in Los Santos today, here's a perfect song to compliment that". And as you drive through Los Santos to your new house, the set song creates an upbeat feel as you take in all the landmarks along the way. Welcome to Los Santos everyone! Ok, so that's my first prediction. Just to get the juices flowing. Post you own predictions, as frequently as you like. It doesn't just have to be how the story starts. You may have a certain mission in your head, that you feel we may come across during the game, and want to get it off your chest. It could just be a place to express what you really want from the GTA V Story though (not game mechanics and misc stuff though, use the pinned, What are you looking for in GTA5? thread for that). Get writing! /edit - date: 12/11/12 ---------------------------------------------------- Now we know that the story revolves around 'heists'. Can anyone think of any decent heist films? Classic would be better, i guess, as Dan only takes influence from classic material. Dan Houser & Rockstar North must have taken influence from some. I'd like to get the references when i play it! Here are some I already know of: Films to watch before playing GTA V Ocean's Eleven (1960) Snatch. (2000) Heat (1995) - Already used in IV though, maybe some other parts of the film will be referenced in V. Reservoir Dogs (1992) Jackie Brown (1997) Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) The Sting (1973) The Italian Job (1969) The Getaway (1972) Swordfish (2001) A Fish Called Wanda (1988) Heist (2001) Ronin (1998) The Asphalt Jungle (1950) The Town (2010) Drive (2011) Ambush (1939) Rififi (1955) The Killing (1956) Seven Thieves (1960) The Big Snatch (1963) Topkapi (1964) Gambit (1966) Robbery (1967) The Thomas Crown Affair (1968) A Cop (1972) Charley Varrick (1973) The Brink's Job (1978) The First Great Train Robbery (1978) The Score (2001) Bank Shot (1974) Loophole (1981) Ocean's Eleven (2001) Ocean's Twelve (2004) Ocean's Thirteen (2007) Sexy Beast (2000) Inside Man (2006) Mission: Impossible (1996) The Man Inside (1958) Fun with Dick and Jane (1977)

In a very recent interview dan houser confirmed GTA V being in only los santos. Im kinda bummed but hey he says its gonna be huge. So yes im not lying he did say this in an interview there will be countryside thought This is just for everyone who thinks GTA V will have san fierro and LAS venturas. link for confirmation.

Am I the only one who imagines a parrot when u hear his voice?

I don't understand why everyone thinks that Rockstar can't pull off 3 cities with the level of detail you're imagining Los Santos to exhibit. I mean look at Skyrim. Just look at the mindblowing vastness of that game. Bethesda started it in 2007-2008. That's when Rockstar started Grand Theft Auto V. So why couldn't Rockstar replicate the level of detail of Skyrim but have it in Grand Theft Auto?

Whatever,1 citiy is enough! Look at Sa,all three cities was very small. Now image how big and detailed Los Santos will be. Also a very big County. I think SF and LV will return in a Add-on maybe? But one thing I dont understand! We saw a Shamal (Privat Jet) in the end of the trailer. If we are able to fly a private,we need a second big airport! Thats will be weird ,only 1 Airport in Los Santos? At the one hand I cant image that privat jets land behind a small town at a small landing field but the other hand we cant see big planes like the AT-400 in San Andreas in the trailer 1 huge and detailed city with a large county is better than tree smaller and fewer details

Ok so i got a little inspired by dupzors prediction. Im going to name the protag ned just to make it easier. The scene starts, ned is in the back seat of a car, the driver says ' so are you all set? Have your passport and papers?' Ned 'where is my son?' ' we told you, you cant see them, not now, its not safe' The car pulls up at an airport ( possibly liberty city or something) the guy in the front seat gives ned a ticket that reads los santos san andreas. ' agent kelly will take you to the safehouse on the other side and remeber ned your john taylor from now on' Ned gets out of the car into the airport, changes to scene of airaplane setting off and ariving in los santos, ned meets agent kelly, and gets in a car with him to his new home, cut scene of the city and landscapes. You arive at your safehouse, the next day ned gets a letter, it reads: you want your son? Be a dad like all the other dads? Go to the payphone. you call the cops, he dies ' Thats as far as i got, it just some basic ideas.
