Everyone else and their dog seems to be clamouring to post any spurious, tangentially related Grand Theft Auto V story today in an effort to drag their readership into looking at pages on their websites.
That’s the business, we get that and we don’t have a problem with it. But we like to do things for our readers as often as possible, rather than just coerce pageviews out of them (although your pageviews are much appreciated…) so we thought we’d have a bit of fun instead of writing a “top five things” article.
So, here’s the deal: The Grand Theft Auto V trailer goes live at 16:00 GMT and we’re sure everyone is already making predictions in their heads for what it will show. So let’s profit from that, right?
We want you to put those predictions in our comments below. Whoever has the most accurate or amusing prediction will win a £10 Amazon gift voucher to spend on coke or hookers or whatever it is GTA is going to drive society to this time (I’ll keep checking the Daily Mail to be informed). We’ll also give you a groovy custom tag to go beside your name in the TSA comments, if that’s your thing.
All our usual T&Cs apply, of course. We’re picking the winner and our decision is final so no arguing, okay? We’ll ignore any predictions made after the trailer goes live (which might be slightly before 16:00 so be warned!) Let’s have some fun…
Update: Winners have been chosen. Yes, that’s right: winners. There are two of them because we’re just do damn nice at TSA.
We chose jakegoodie92 for accuracy but we’re also awarding TSBonyman because he made us giggle. The prizes have been sent to the email addresses used when you signed up for TSA. Thanks for playing everyone!

I’m gonna suggest the characters will be Irish/American new yorkers.

GTAV?
I predict there’s gonna be a whole lot of teasing about an epic backstory to this. Can you see where GTA is going? From just plain running and gunnin'(and fun!) to a more story driven cinematic game. There’ll be guns, cars, and girls(especially girls. probably a very short strip tease or something to erm.. set the mood? :P). It’ll probably start of with some sweeping camera work of the city followed by a ‘gangster’ style interrogation of some poor victim. Then comes an epic car chase and bullets flying to Mars and back. It’ll finally end to much OOH’s and AHH’s with the GTAV logo coming out in an extremely cheesy screen transition animation. All in a days work really.
Oo, and don’t forget explosions. NEVER forget explosions.

I predict that as its Rockstar, there will be moody music (lots of), lots of black screen, few snippesee ts of general hussle and bussel of the new location. Next it will zoom in on the back of an unknown protaganist, then it will zoom to the face and end there will a date “fall 2012”.
Most importantly, again as its Rockstar, we will know nothing, actually we will know less than what we know now, other than the release date and an image of a person….

Some shots of windows of buildings, a car headlight or two and a few limbs, some big words. End of trailer

GTA V – Lunar Extradition.
“In the year 2019 a major discovery of extremely dense water was revealed at the centre of the moon. Two decades later humans developed a self-contained mining facility on the moon in order to extract this rich water and turn it into an abundant source of hydrogen – easily.”
The year is 2121 and the human race has become solely dependant on hydrogen power in a bid to restore the quality of the atmosphere. A civilisation formed on the moon where the filthy rich can stay in hotels out of this world (sorry). You are Claude (previously played in GTA III) who has been caught for his mischievary and locked up in a super-specialist prison complex – only to find that you are no longer on Earth, but you have been sold to the mining company on the moon. What will you do?

I’m gone guess that it’s going to be some south american themed city, much like rio de janeiro. It will show a plane and the map will be a number of different sized islands. That is all.

My Brain says it will be set in America, Most likely focus on drug running in the Florida Keys and incorporate Miami.
My heart says that I want it to be set in the UK, Somewhere other than London (Either Manchester or Liverpool) and focus on Gang Culture with English music and Culture

Your a hobo who has to fight his way through life by rooting through bins and begging on street corners. there will be plenty of shots of him speeding through the city in his shopping trolley. Also the drunk physics engine has been highly upgraded for this new installment.
You heard it here first ;)
