First of all, we’d like to again thank you and everyone out there for the amazing response to the debut Grand Theft Auto V trailer. We know that there are a ton of questions you all have about the game, including release date and lots else.

Right now, we are very hard at work on the game and are excited as well to show and tell you more as development progresses – expect that we’ll be talking much more about GTAV starting at some point in a few months’ time. Please hang tight until then and thank you all for your patience and support!

“Game Informer: You just released the GTA V trailer. Can you talk about that project in any respect? Obviously, it looks like it’s going back to San Andreas.

Dan Houser: I’ve got to be real careful here, or they will drag me through the office and whip me with barbwire. I will stick to exactly what’s in the press release. It’s Los Santos and the surrounding countryside – and a very big map.”

All we can say is Sweeeeet!

Is Ned Luke the voice and likeness behind the Tommy-Vercetti-looking mystery man from the GTA V trailer? All signs are pointing towards yes! Take a gander at the picture to your left. The resemblance is uncanny. What do you guys think?

“Ned Luke: remember the name. Because he might well be the voice (and face) behind the narrator/main character from GTA 5’s trailer. The little known Hollywood actor may currently be as famous as Kevin Bacon’s fourth cousin twice removed, but there’s a good deal of evidence to suggest he’s GTA’s new antihero.”
