The first official details about Grand Theft Auto V have been announced. In the newest digital issue of Game Informer, Rock star has revealed that the game will have three playable characters -- Michael, Trevor and Franklin. Players will switch between characters “constantly “with a single button press, allowing them to see missions from different perspectives. Michael is a retired bank robber who is now in the witness protection program, and whose wife has burned through his substantial fortune, causing him to get “back into the game.”His friend Trevor, the second protagonist, is a “drugged out psychopath” who seems prone to violence.
The final character, Franklin, works as a repo man and is younger, in hispid 20s. Franklin is described as "the young and capable one of the bunch." All three come together to perform heists, which are described as “a big theme in the game.”Players will experience missions as different combinations of the three, and each will have different skillet. For example, in one heist mission, Michael rappels down the side of a building while Franklin uses a sniper rifle from afar and Trevor flies in a helicopter above.
Players can switch back and forth between Michael grabbing a target inside the building or Franklin trying to snipe enemies inside. Once you escape, everyone meets in the helicopter, and the player can choose to fly it as Trevor, snipe other pilots as Franklin, or fire ague from the back of the vehicle as Michael. Los Santos will be the biggest open world in Rock star’s history, "bigger than Read Dead Redemption, Grand Theft Auto IV, and San Andréa combined." Players will also be able to explore underwater areas of the city.
Rock star has also changed driving mechanics, noting that cars “hold to the ground a bit better” and have “a little more physics on them,” making driving feel more like racing game. Shooting and melee combat have also been improved, as have pedestrian models (some pedestrians have now been mapped using motion capture for more realistic movement).Rock star also hasn’t employed any celebrities to provide voices for the game.
Heists will be a key element, but players will also experience elements similar to Redhead Redemption’s dynamic encounters, including stopping to check on broken cars and picking up hitchhikers. Players will be able to chase and catch muggers or rob cash vans. Characters can be customized by changing clothes, but height and weight customization isn’t included. The phone will also return for obtaining important info, but now allows players to access the internet, among other things. Some items previously only accessible from the phone in Grand Theft Auto IV can simply be accessed on the map.
Each character will have their own social circle -- Michael has his son (Jimmy), Franklin has a "crazy friend" named Lamar, and Trevor has a paranoid conspiracy theorist friend named Ron. Separately from missions, players will be able to switch between character sand see them living their daily lives, including some situations that may be "surprising."Players won't be able to own real-estate, but there will be an economy for players to spend their money in. GTA V has non-canonical connection to the PS2-era Grand Theft Auto games, so don't expect to encounter C.J. or Tommy. Grand Theft Auto V was originally announced in October 2011 the idea of multiple playable characters was actually rumored early on, first suggested the day after the original announcement. Rock star will release the second trailer for Grand Theft Auto V on November 14th. We'll be unveiling the trailer live here at inland rewinding it over and over to see how many details we can pull out. Stay tuned for that and much more on GTA V here at IGN. (GTA V crack)
