We are working on a second trailer - unfortunately Hurricane Sandy has derailed our plans somewhat but we will have something to show soon. It's hard to be precise as we have no power whatsoever in our New York office. We hope everyone else in affected areas is doing okay.
- Los Santos is bigger than Red Dead Redemption, San Andreas, and Grand Theft Auto IV combined. It contains a wilderness, military base, and underwater exploration on the ocean floor.
- Players can switch between the three main protagonists “nearly any time.”
- The protagonists names are: Michael (older guy), Trevor (a red neck, apparently), and Franklin (the African-American). Each has its own personality, skill set, and group of friends.
- Characters you are not currently controlling will “g off and do their own thing.”
- It’s the same world as Grand Theft Auto 4 and Liberty City, so recurring characters could occur, unless hey are form the PS2-era titles.
- Randomized dynamic missions are back, and include “hitchhikers, muggers, and dead bodies.”
- Players can form friendships, but there won’t be an romancing this time out.
- Vehicles in the game include trucks, BMX and mountain bikes, ATVs, helicopters, cars, WaveRunners, dirtbikes.
- Heists will be predominant.
- Players can customize their look, but not through RPG elements such as with San Andreas.
- Missions will be more fleshed out, and side missions will be more complex – think Red Dead Redemption.
- Better driving controls were promised, as were improved shooting mechanics.
- Melee combat has been refined.
