Prior to the official announcements, trailers and magazine features of [[Grand Theft Auto V]], a large number of possible clues had been found in previous GTA games and elsewhere to indicate what may have been the setting and content of GTA V. Fans also made a number of educated guesses, and many rumours circulated the Internet. | Prior to the official announcements, trailers and magazine features of [[Grand Theft Auto V]], a large number of possible clues had been found in previous GTA games and elsewhere to indicate what may have been the setting and content of GTA V.

*A number of sources were citing [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0902623/ Ned Luke] as the actor portraying the [[protagonist|lead character]], supposedly named Albert De Silva<ref>[http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/11/14/is-albert-de-silva-gta-5s-lead-character/ Is Albert De Silva GTA 5′s lead character?]</ref>. If this character is the [[:File:GTAV-Suit.jpg|man in the suit]] from the GTA V trailer, who closely resembles Ned Luke, this character seems to be older and more successful than previous GTA protagonists who have started at the bottom of the food chain and worked their way up. This could indicate a significant change in the progression of the game from previous iterations. Alternatively, this character could be one of several playable characters through the course of the game, as has been rumoured, which would be a first since the [[GTA 1 Era]]. | *A number of sources were citing [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0902623/ Ned Luke] as the actor portraying the [[protagonist|lead character]], supposedly named Albert De Silva<ref>[http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/11/14/is-albert-de-silva-gta-5s-lead-character/ Is Albert De Silva GTA 5′s lead character?]</ref>.

*A [http://www.igta5.com/characters leaked casting call] lists several characters for a future game, which coincides with the name "Albert de Silva". These include mentally unstable hillbillies in "the sticks", a detailed cast of FBI agents, soccer moms and divorcees in the suburbs (perhaps de Silva's neighbors), celebrities, at least two Chinese [[Triad]] characters, and an 18-year-old slacker son for Albert named Kevin. Several young male Irish characters, including Eddie McReary who "lives with his cousin", hints very strongly at the return of [[Packie McReary]]. [[Niko Bellic]]'s voice actor is in a dispute with Rockstar Games, and his return seems highly unlikely. [[James Pedeaston]] was released from prison and will make a comeback, but possibly with a different voice actor. There is a very strong focus on the political issue of legalized and/or medicinal marijuana. | *A [http://www.igta5.com/characters leaked casting call] lists several characters for a future game, which coincides with the name "Albert de Silva".

* In regard to the lack of information for Grand Theft Auto V, [[Rockstar Games|Rockstar]] stated: "We are sorry if you find this frustrating, but please understand, we don’t do this because we ‘don’t care about our fans' 'don’t respect our fans’ 'hate GTA fans' etc, — precisely the opposite! We do it because we want to make sure we only release 100% correct information, and because we want to keep plenty back for the actual game release so there are still lots of surprises when you play it. We just have not been in a position to show more of the game than the trailer and will not be for a while yet. We will try and get some more screens for you soon and then another trailer when we are ready." <ref>http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/07/12/grand-theft-auto-v-screenshots-red-dead-2-update</ref> | * In regard to the lack of information for Grand Theft Auto V, [[Rockstar Games|Rockstar]] stated: "We are sorry if you find this frustrating, but please understand, we don’t do this because we ‘don’t care about our fans' 'don’t respect our fans’ 'hate GTA fans' etc, — precisely the opposite!
