Grand Theft Auto V

Grand Theft Auto V Lead is an East Coast Gangster Dragged Back into a Life of Crime

As the media machine cranks up for Grand Theft Auto V, more and more information is being revealed for the open-world action title.

According to Shortlist magazine (via VG), Rockstar’s latest will star an East Coast gangster who has moved to Los Santos for a fresh start and a clean life. "But, as in The Godfather Part III," says the mag, "just as he thought he was out, they pulled him back in."

This new info fits roughly with some of the details leaked from Game Informer’s upcoming gameplay reveal. In a post over at Gamefaqs earlier this week a reader reportedly got hold of the info early, splurging all the salient facts online.

In the post it was said that the game will feature two main characters, one of whom is Albert DeSilva, “a half American half Puerto Rican.” According to the source, the character is 42 years old and has an ex-wife and two kids.

“The show Breaking Bad has a little influence on the game, as Albert is drawn to the life of crime from an older age for the money,” said the leak. It doesn’t fit exactly with Shortlist’s description, but it ‘aint far off.

The Game Informer leak also detailed the other playable character, Dougie Vejo, “a younger criminal just coming up in Los Santos.”

So while none of the leak information has been officially confirmed yet, we don’t have long to wait. An explosion of new info is expected to arrive later today, ahead of a new trailer on November 14th. That’s next Wednesday.

GTA V is out in Spring 2013.

'Just when I thought I was out...'
Surely I'm not the only one who instantly pictures Sil Dante from the Sopranos instead, right?

@12 Delusion what are you talking about? lets talk about the facts Saints Row 1 was released 2006, GTA 4 was released in 2008 that's mean GTA 4 copied the saints row, so get the facts right before you post somenthing stupid.

GTA4 was a gangster trying to go clean and ends up being bad because they have to. Let's go clean, then run a few drugs for extra cash then BAM, go right back to killing. Drug dealing is a gateway crime.

@fodbod

Yes let's talk about the facts.

GTA 3 was released in 2003.

Vice City was released in 2004.

San Andreas was released in 2005.

so as Annalie says, you are either really young, or really stupid. Either way, maybe you should learn to do some research at get your facts straight before YOU post something stupid.

Not to mention that saints row 1 was as close as the games ever got. They may both be open world gangster/crime games, but they are very very different.

Saints rows is... well just insane to the point of being stupid. Fun, but stupid

and GTA 4 is very realistic with a unique way of looking at the crime world

13 Is a troll account but since we are talking about getting facts straight..

GTA III - Released Date 2001
GTA Vice City - Released Date 2002
GTA San Andreas - Release Date 2004

Not to mention the two previous GTA's before III and a few after San Andreas.

Some Game Informer writer confirmed on his Twitter that all of the leaked info is fake.

@#14 I think he's just young. I found humour in this game untasteful to say the best. It is definitely game aimed at kids that have yet to reach their adolescent life, so it's not wonder they would pick that over more serious and better grounded in life GTA franchise..

OT: I can't wait till I get my hands on that new GI issue=)

But GTA was way more fun when it had rampages and the more comedic stuff. Still this game could be utter trash and the mindless hordes will buy it because its teh GTA!!! same game everytime and inbetween time they create other games with a different setting that are the same. Shame.
