Meet our protagonists for GTA V:

Looks interesting, I wonder how exactly it will work.

It has been confirmed that neither of the three protagonists are called Albert, thus ending the rumour that one was going to be called Albert De Silva

New scans from the gameinformer magazine appeared on Gaming Everything's website

The 3 Playable characters are named Michael, Franklin and Trevor

Also @mrwoooooooo, Claude, CJ and Tommy Vercetti are NOT going to appear in this game in any way. This game series is split into 3 era's

Theres the PS1 Era (GTA 1 - 2) PS2 Era (Gta 3, Vice City and San Andreas) and High Def Era (GTA 4 and GTA 5). Concept art, radio stations and other little things are only moved between the 3 era's. So you will NEVER see CJ in GTA 5 ever!

Well I didn't know their names

According to Rockstar, Grand Theft Auto V's Los Santos is bigger than Red Dead Redemption, San Andreas, and Grand Theft Auto IV combined. Yep. There's wilderness, a military base, and even an ocean floor to explore underwater.
You can switch between the game's three main protagonists at "nearly any time."
Those three protagonists, by the way, are named Michael, Trevor, and Franklin. Michael is a retired bank robber who gets sucked back into crime; Trevor is a career criminal and drug addict; Franklin is a 20-something street hustler.
Sometimes they'll work together on missions, during which you can switch back and forth from character to character depending on which part of a given mission you feel like doing.
Each character has his own personality, skill set, and group of friends to interact with. And the ones you're not controlling will go off and do their own thing.
This is the same world as Grand Theft Auto IV and Liberty City, so you might see some recurring characters from those games (just not the major ones, like Niko Bellic). But. Rockstar says this is the "high-definition" world of Grand Theft Auto, so don't expect to see anyone from the PS2-era titles.
Remember those randomized dynamic missions in Red Dead Redemption? They're back for GTAV: expect hitchhikers, muggers, and dead bodies, among others.
Yes friendships. No romance.
Rockstar says there will be an economy, but you won't be able to buy properties. There will be "loads of other stuff."

Hmm, the Buzzard could make an interesting fight with the Hydra / Fighter Jet. I did wonder if it will make a return.

EDIT: The Premier car is back too. It's the car next to the motorcyclist in the 5th image from the bottom.

Anyway I just read the reveal and it sounds bloody amazing. It's looking like what people hoped GTA IV would be.
