Grand Theft Auto V is one of the most talked about games at the moment and the title, set to be one of the biggest releases next year, with new information on the blockbuster franchise has been wanted for some time.<\/p>\n
Rockstar are one of the world\u2019s biggest publishers, who somewhat annoyingly, have taken to dripping out a few screenshots here and a few bits of artwork there. It\u2019s stretched out the marketing of the game extremely\u00a0thinly\u00a0already, with customers able to pre-order the game knowing next to nothing on the title.<\/p>\n
Thankfully, some new information comes out of this month\u2019s Game Informer which confirms that there will be\u00a0three main protagonists \u2013 a series first \u2013 within biggest open world Rockstar has created to date. This is accompanied by their official cover, which is rather disappointing.<\/p>\n
However, within the article there\u2019s a wealth of information. Rather than play as one character for a few missions and then another, you\u2019ll be constantly switching between then \u2013 something Rockstar deemed important for both worthwhile narrative and gameplay payoff. \u201cIt would allow them to create a more diverse style of lead protagonist and tie certain behaviours to particular characters\u201d, reads the article.<\/p>\n
What about these three characters though? Well there\u2019s Michael, who, in his early 40s, has retired from being a highly successful bank robber to settle down after making a sweet deal with the FIB. Witness protection may seem pleasant, but he hates his wide, doesn\u2019t understand his two teenage children and with money running out wants back in the game. Then there\u2019s Trevor, who, also in his early 40s is a \u201ccareer criminal\u201d. A frequent drug user, prone to violent outbursts and destructive rampages he\u2019s somewhat of a loose cannon. He used to be a military pilot and even did a few jobs with Michael back in the day. Finally, we have Franklin. A repo man in his mid 20s, he works for an Armenian luxury car dealership who sells cars to people who can\u2019t afford them. The characters are not interchangeable, each with their own personality, motivations and skillsets.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
