Location: Los Santos, San Andreas & surrounding area. Time Period: 2013-2014 (Present Day) Characters: Franklin: Described as a "young and ambitious hustler", Franklin is a repo-man in his mid 20s. Michael: A married middle-aged man with two teenage children. As an ex-career criminal, he quit after making a deal with the FIB. Trevor: A war veteran with flight experience; he's described as a "drugged-out psychopath".
Yea... IV on PC fails in optimization. I can't see them doing any worse this round... if that helps. lol. IV was the first round w/ the engine on PC... I give them that.
If you watch the video again (I have 8 times, 2 times at <=50% speed), it looks like they've made some graphical enhancements on the engine.
Here's a bit more for you guys regarding release date.
IV's first trailer was March '07. It was initially to be released in October '07. Finally got released for consoles in April '08 and PC in December '08. The good news is the big delay was because the consoles were new to both the engine and developers still.
I've re-watched every first trailer back to III (that dedicated, yes), and noticed a few things with IV and V (not so much the III-based games). One being cars; there are very few different cars in the trailers relative to the game at release. Another is the story... in the trailers of III and SA you got a good idea of what to expect. In IV and V you get a narrator's voice and a character with his idea of "things will be different". These may indicate the game's current development status.
IMO, it looks like a April-June '12 release.

I'm looking forward to this though
I'm definitely buying 2 copies. One for Xbox and one for PC.
Different engine. IV uses RAGE/Euphoria, LA Noire uses Havok and whatever for their facial recognition.
I'll be buying 2 copies too, unless PC gets same time release.
Thank you, thank you! And I definitely will.

The game is looking to be huge w/ just Los Santos. I can't imagine the level of compression or number of DVDs 360 owners will get. R* had problems with fitting IV on a DVD, by the way.
I am aware of that issue, and according to R*, that was one of the reasons why they had to cut off multiple features from GTA IV.
It would be a terrible idea to not release this game for the Xbox 360, since that would require to sacrifice a large margin of profit. What I could see them doing is to, perhaps, use the HDD from the Xbox 360 and install the game into the hard drive, then use one of the DVD's to run the game as an authentication/antipiracy methid. The PS3 could have the game in only one Blu Ray, and obviously, us PC gamers won't have that problem.
It is nice. Was debating on if it was the Comet or Banshee..
EDIT: Just watched a couple videos on it and NONE of them mention that semi trucks are pulling trailers!!! I loved Driv3r because of that (and go karts and the all around feel).

. Still think that SA is still the best game as of now though, GTA IV had so many things cut from it, So I'm really looking forward to a fuller game this time around, Id presume the release date will be around June 2012, or at least I hope so. Subbed
Also, I keep reading that V will be the biggest game in the series.
Here's what we have going for San Fiero and Las Venturas:
-SA Trailer 1 only focused on Los Santos, like V Trailer 1.
-SA Trailer 2 welcomed us to the jungle.
-Niko had a plane ticket to... San Andreas, not specifically Los Santos.
-Interstate 5, included in Trailer 1, links (IRL) San Francisco to Los Angelas.
