The upcoming installment in Rockstar’s hit sandbox series Grand Theft Auto had a trailer released today. It appears to be returning to the ersatz Los Angeles of Los Santos. While the city is not named, it is very clearly LA, what with the distinctive skyline and the “Vinewood” sign. Also visible were prominently placed airplanes, indicating a return to the skies in something other than impossible to fly helicopters, as well as a couple different people who could be the protagonist. The first was an African American man in a Cosby-esque sweatervest turning down drugs from a dealer, the second was an unidentified Caucasian man driving some cars, and the third was a possibly Hispanic man running from the police at the end of the trailer. Multiple protagonists maybe? Or perhaps a customizable character?
Additionally, the game appears to be returning to the VERY open feel of GTA: San Andreas, with several shots showing off the sprawling California countryside. Thus far there are no indications that either San Fierro or Las Venturas will be returning, however the existence of usable airplanes may indicate multiple airstrips. It’s probable that there will be small towns spotting the landscape, much as there were in San Andreas, if only to fill the void. No release date has been given, but the smart money is on a late April-early May date, as this is where the last several major Rockstar releases have come out. If you like GTA, or just like mayhem in general, this will be something to watch for.
