    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)

    I would love to see street gangs return, The Ballas, Grove Street Families, Los Santos Vagos, Varios Los Aztecas... Dynamic gang-fights throught LS would be awesome. I would really love to drive into the Grove Street Culdesac and see The Johnsons house, with GSF members hanging around... I really hope there is a gang system where you are able to take over territories like in SA, especially with RAGE physics. But if the protagonist is Caucasian as he sounds in the trailer, I doubt he will be a member of these gangs. Maybe a new gang will arise, who knows. How do you feel about Street gangs in Los Santos? In my opinion that's what makes the city what it is.

    wut u sai? hu karez how u tak online lolo Liam Neeson is 59 and he still plays badass characters that fight, run, shoot guns and no one complains... Also, I know some guys that are 40-50 years old and more energetic than a lot of younger guys. Maybe so, but did you see the guy in the trailer? Shoulders broad as FUCK, I would be surprised if he can even lift his arms. He doesn't seem like the type of person to run, jump and jack cars in my opinion. In fact, he looks like a boss, as someone mentioned above.

    Liam Neeson is 59 and he still plays badass characters that fight, run, shoot guns and no one complains... Also, I know some guys that are 40-50 years old and more energetic than a lot of younger guys. But Liam Neeson is athletic. That guy in the trailer looks fat-ass, so it´s not the same.

    Didn't play last night, I remember asking the missus to hold the laptop for a sec then died on the couch in a sitting position and that's how I just woke up. The whole place reminds me of the Scottish Highlands while parts of the rugged mountains feel like Tora Bora. Finding a good spot to take in the views of the waterfalls and rivers is one of the things I've found myself doing in the middle of a quest. So many distractions, but in a good way. Animals attacking other animals is good to watch and I've often tried to rescue a fox by killing the wolves that were trying to rip it to bits. I'm now also an expert ice floe hopper.

    Hello everyone. I've been checking this forum for a while but now I decided to register. I would love to see a realistic story, with a character you can really empathize with. I wanna feel sad when something bad happens to him or his friends/family. I want the story/cutscenes to give you that feeling that a good drama/action movie gives you.

    Agreed, but I just keep going back to the fact that San Andreas' story felt weird to me because the cites were so different. They're more than capable of putting all three cities in the game, I just feel like one city fits better, one continuous theme throughout the game, rather than three different themes that don't really fit together.

    Well we haven't seen the same car and buildings everywhere in previous GTA's so there's nothing for you to worry about.

    If it doesn't take at least 15 minutes to drive from the eastern to the western edge of the map on a proper speed (I like long drives, as long as the game doesn't force me to drive the same roads constantly). I never used the car customization features in GTA, in fact I never keep any car for long. I usually destroy or abandon all vehicles I use. In general they should have accumulated so many nice ideas, gameplay mechanics and features from San Andreas to GTA4 that they can hardly fail at making an epic game.
