7. Return of Character Customisation
You can thank another post from an anonymous insider (whos since been debunked as a fake journalist) for setting this rumour aflame, although its also fuelled by some convincing online speculation. Apparently, said fake journalist was supposedly shown 30 minutes of gameplay footage and argued that GTA V will see a return of bodybuilding, weight gain, tattooing and a whole slew of other customisation options. You could say that, since R* featured a gym and a piercing parlour in the GTA V trailer (and in a R* trailer, everything is subtly important) acts as further evidence for this rumour, but looking at it logically, it also sort of makes sense. As I mentioned, GTA IV was the most underperforming title in the series, while San Andreas was the top seller (22.76 million sold). If R* want to recapture some of their former glories, theyd do well to heed what their fans loved so much about their previous games and include similar features. And so, logically, I can totally see this rumour coming to pass and you know what, I totally hope it does.
