Rockstar like to keep the big details away from the public and give the smallest amount of satisfying information to people like us. GTA V is exactly like this. They gave their first piece of information on their twitter page which was "#GTAV". They included a link to a page of their website that displayed the game's new logo and the date of the release of the very first trailer. Very much like GTA IV, Rockstar love to taunt us and keep the information about their games to a minimum.What we do know is that there GTA V 'evolves nearly every mechanic' found in the earlier GTA games. Grand Theft Auto 5's world will be much bigger than Red Dead Redemption, Grand Theft Auto:San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto IV combined. We also know that there will be three playable protagonists in the game, this is the first time Rockstar have done this for a Grand Theft Auto game. The characters are Michael, Trevor and Franklin who are all interconnected in each others lives somehow. According to the GTA VI wikipedia page, Michael is a retired former bank robber in his early forties who lives with his dysfunctional family on the proceeds of his former life in the upper-class suburb of Rockford Hills, based on Beverley Hills. Trevor lives alone in a trailer in the desert of Blaine County, his reckless and psychopathic behaviors being fueled by a drug addiction. Franklin makes a living in Vespucci Beach — based on Venice Beach — as a repo man for an unscrupulous car dealership."
We now know for sure that the new GTA game will only be available on PS3 and Xbox, not the new Wii U. The more complicated controllers of the Playstation and Xbox consoles suggest that GTA V will be aimed at core gamers, and the violent content of the game (and also one of the cover art pieces showing a woman in a bikini) suggest a male target audience. Now available for gamers to pre order, it is for sale in the UK in shops such as GAME, Play.com, Zavvi, HMV, Amazon and Tesco. This may mean that Rockstar may have a place in the top 10 gaming charts several months before the game is even released.
