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 reckon it’ll be a moody looking dude walking down the street and getting in a high res version of a sportscar. The interior won’t be as accurate as GT5 but no one will care. As he tries the ignition a piano will land on the car. The camera will cut to the top of a building where a guy with bulgy eyes will scream “when I killed your brother I talked just like this…”. A hooker will look on in indifference then go bowling.

It’s going to be set in a Miami type city. The character will be Hispanic as they’ve done White, African American and Russian. They could do Native American.
Advert will have awesome graphics, guns, hookers, cars, motorbikes, boats and airplanes. The advert will finish with a high speed police chase whilst the camera pans across the highway and then the ocean at sunrise. Maybe the character will speak as the advert finishes.

It will be set in San Adreas it will show cars driving slowly maybe a plane flying by and a ‘Vinewood’ sign along with loads of tall buildings and a character talking about how hard his/her life is and how they are going to resort to killing people :D. simples.

Well deserved winner here. You could scarcely write a better description having actually seen it!

Ok, my two cents?
The trailer will start off with slow mo, panoramic views of the setting (west coast this time), gradually teasing up with some shots of the city (or possibly cities) it is set in.
It’ll introduce the protaginist, a middle aged spanish/puerto rican guy, and how the city is a hotbed for lowlife scum or something. Maybe hes part of a money laundering operation?
Music will be the typical funky music used by Rockstar, or actually, maybe rap music for a change.
You know what, I’ll be completely wrong but meh :)
DR-DAVROS
It will be set in London
It will have 2 playable characters Criminal and cop
The G in GTA Now stands for GETAWAY
In all seriousness it will be the same old stuff as all other GTA’s \ RDR etc which are great to start but get repetitive and dull. Hopefully its nothing like LA NOIRE. Maybe mix a bit of Max payne in there.

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say the protagonist will be completely customisable even down to gender.
Oh, and the multiplayer will suck

I’d love for the game to be set in Boston, in the near future (2015)

Coming out on Vita.
It’d be big. (Well, bigger than it’ll already be)

It’s going to be a scenic tour around a modern day american city, with some helicopter-footage. It’s going to show off the city at different times of the day and perhaps different weather. We’ll see a bunch of vehicles, cars, airplanes and boats for sure. There will be fancey camerawork focusing on landmarks, different parts of the city and surrounding environments will be shown. Pedestrians will be walking about. We might see some action, a policechase or similar. Main character might be revealed to some extent. We’ll get to see some of the underbelly of the new city.
