* DeconstructedTrope:
** Michael is the traditional ''GTA'' protagonist after he's already won. Having "beaten the game," so to speak, he's decided to get out of the game, settle down and raise a family, but he finds "normal" life to be boring. It's implied that his wife burning through his cash is only part of the reason why he returned to a life of crime.
** Trevor as well, though in the opposite direction. See YouBastard.



* HonestJohnsDealership: The car dealership that Franklin works for. The owner is a sleazy Armenian guy who pressures yuppies into buying expensive cars that they clearly can't afford, then sends Franklin to take the cars back when the payments stop coming in.



* TheNewTens: May very well become an UnintentionalPeriodPiece for this current decade, as did ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV'' for TurnOfTheMillennium. The game takes place during an economic downturn, where class divisions are stark. The mobile phone has been stated to have internet-browsing capabilities, likely making it a smartphone.

'''''Grand Theft Auto V''''' is a game due to be released for the PlayStation3 and {{Xbox 360}} in Spring 2012. The latest entry in [[TakeTwoInteractive Rockstar Games]]' ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto'' series, it is set in the UsefulNotes/LosAngeles pastiche of Los Santos and its surrounding countryside based on Southern {{California}}. In a first for the series, the game will feature three playable protagonists as opposed to just one:

* Michael, a former {{bank robber|y}} in his 40s who {{retired|Badass}} and went into WitnessProtection, only to be forced back into his old line of work after his wife burned through all of his money.
* Trevor, a friend of Michael's who is about his age, but never retired, and remained a drug-abusing career criminal.
* Franklin, a twenty-something repo man (no, not [[Film/RepoTheGeneticOpera that kind]]) who is described as "the young and capable one of the bunch."

Together, [[TheyFightCrime They Cause Crime]]. Players can switch between the three at any time, and a major part of gameplay will be heist missions in which all three characters take part. On the fly, the player can switch between, say, the guy taking hostages inside the store, the guy sniping cops outside, and the guy rappelling down the side of the building.

!!Tropes:
* BankRobbery
* ConspiracyTheorist: Trevor's friend Ron.
* HollywoodCalifornia
* MalevolentMaskedMen: In the first trailer, the three main characters storm a jewelry store wearing dust masks and exterminator uniforms.
* RetiredBadass: Michael, initially.
* SequelEscalation: Rockstar has described the map as being bigger than those of ''[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas San Andreas]]'', ''[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV GTA IV]]'' and ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption'' put together. On top of having a full-sized city, the game also features the surrounding countryside.
* WideOpenSandbox: It's ''GTA'', of course.
* WitnessProtection: Michael, until he (or rather, his wife) ran out of money.
