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!

The trailer will be very brief and only show snippets of the location. Maybe a few shots of a Casino and the V logo with “coming fall 2012” at the end.
What i’d like to see is a conveniently placed line of Hare Krishna getting mowed down in homage to the original game.

Some dude looking moody.
A day/night cycle over Vegas/LA/Hull/Wherever…
Some sporadic vehicle clips.
Some women shaking their junk at the camera.
And a few guns for good measure.
And 5 bazooka wielding midgets dressed as clowns…maybe…

Remake of GTA 3 from different characters point of view, maybe modern day version of the city. Chase scene and mob gangs shootout and then some funny character customisation options to end the trailer.

Interesting that everybody is guessing either the future or modern day…

I’ll happily put my midgets in the 70s…

You could always do a Granger Games and put them in bright orange shorts with women in bikinis and give away a load of free condoms, I heard that went down a storm!

The V actually stands for vagrant. You are a homeless guy who has a box near an off license and mumbles jazz songs. Missions include trying to bum fags and beg for money and avoiding the police. It’s set when GTA IV was and every so often you’ll see Nico go past or hear a radio talk about all the crazy shit he’s been doing. The final missions will see a big pay day when you find a bag of money and use it to buy drugs.
The finale sees you dead in an alley with a needle in your arm.

Hopefully set in blackpool lol or London but I’m guessing a Vegas style one with casinos, gambling, prostitutes and a lot of guns :)

It’ll be set in a post-apocalyptic Vegas where only a small portion of the main strip has survived a nuclear bombardment. You’ll be playing a courier who’s just been shot in the head and wants his revenge etc etc…

GTAV will be set in modern day Vice city 20 or so years on from the events of Vice city on the PS2 with Tommy Vercetti making an appearance still wearing terrible hawaiian shirts and/or pastel coloured suits plus all the usual GTA shabang guns, explosions a car chase drug use and strippers with black X’s over their nipples.
