Get Ready to Hit the Streets Grand Theft Auto 5 is on the Way [VIDEO]

GTA V has been officially revealed by Rockstar Games, and you can watch the official trailer below. I've gone through the video with a fine-toothed comb to weed out details of what will surely be one of the biggest games of the generation.

It's set in San Andreas.

The trailer opens with several scenes of the San Andreas beach front, complete with palm trees, and scenes of the Vinewood sign. So yep, GTA V will indeed be set in San Andreas. The song in the trailer is called Ogden's Nut Gone Flake by Small Faces.

It's set in the present day.

GTA V will be set in the present day, as seen by the vehicles and architecture of the city, there also appears to be an emphasis on the present-day recession.

It focuses on the recession.

The trailer also shows scenes of homes being sold, homeless people begging for change on the streets, and people sleeping rough in tents beside an underpass. This fits into the five-dollar bill motif of the 'V' in the GTA V logo.

Could the character's monologue suggest that his wealthy lifestyle falls apart amid the recession, that forces him to turn to a life of crime? It's anyone's guess right now, but that would make for a superb plot.

The main character wants to escape crime.

The male voiceover explains that the chaacter moved to San Andreas to escape 'that life', and is quickly followed up by a scene of masked men bursting out of a truck and robbing a bank.

In true GTA tradition, the lead character looks to make amends for his past life of crime, but we can probably assume that this won't work out. The main character is blatantly wealthy and wants to live a lush life in San Andreas.

This is a family story.

The lead character talks about his kids, and it has often been rumoured that the plot will focus on the De Silva family; three of them to be precise. This little line actually lends credibility to the rumour, which first originated during a casting call for the GTA V voice actors.

If the rumour is true, then according to the casting call, the names of the De Silva brothers will be Simon, Albert and Kevin.

Multiple playable characters?

There have been many GTA V rumours over the last few months that seem to suggest that the game will be played out across three central characters, which again lends the De Silva rumour plenty of credibility.

The fact that there is no central character shown in the trailer suggets that the focus will be split across mutliple personas. Every GTA trailer since GTA III has focused on, and shown extensively, the main character. So why not this one?

There will be golf carts again.

Not seen since Vice City and the GTA IV expansions, GTA V will feature golf, and if you look to the left of the golf scene, you can spot a golf cart that is just ripe for stealing.

Hookers will return.

Yep, they're in the trailer, seen approaching a parked car. But to be honest, this was always going to happen wasn't it?

That's it for now kiddos. I'll let you know when I get a Release Date.
