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.

  • Roll on 2013!
  • 2 main characters? It has co-op then?
  • Breaking Bad influence? I'm sold.
  • @2, the only thing its said is you can switch between the two using the rb or lb button. Nothing to confirm co-op yet, only time will tell but here's to hoping
  • This will be the best GTA ever
  • Only a few more hours until the digital release of the latest Game Informer issue. 20+ pages of GTA V!
  • 'Just when I thought I was out...' Surely I'm not the only one who instantly pictures Sil Dante from the Sopranos instead, right?
  • Benny Blanco from the Bronx ending? Rockstar do like killing off their main characters
  • This could be the greatest game ever.
  • Would Vejo teach me how to dougie?
  • Sounds really bad atleast the Great Saints row game are much better than those GTA games i hate when GTA copies other games
  • @11 Haha delusion must be fun
  • @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.
  • @11 You must be really young or really 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.
  • @13 ummmm gta 3,vice city and san andreas send there regards !
  • @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
  • Poor fodbod.. Clueless little fella.
  • It is clearly a troll account o.O
  • 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.
  • @11 Why is your I.P set in Israel?
  • @11 Your parents deserve terminal illnesses for breeding you.
  • Some Game Informer writer confirmed on his Twitter that all of the leaked info is fake.
  • @23 maybe he is the culmination of their illnesses,hence the trollness.
  • Yeah Mr DeSilva! Yeah Science!
  • @#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.
  • dont' all the GTA games have the same premise? the main character is an ex gangster who gets pulled back in to a life of crime?
