6. Multiple Protagonists
Theres a bit of a buzz about this rumour and it seems to be splitting fans down the middle. Basically, not so long ago
Kotaku reported a supposedly reliable source (although probably not) revealed that GTA V would feature more than one protagonist. Supporting this, Take Twos press release on the title describes a radical reinvention for the GTA series. Could they really get more radical than pioneering a genre revolution in the very genre they originally pioneered? This would mean that the traditional rise to the top motif would be potentially removed from GTA V, and instead wed see a more abstract and dramatically complex storyline more along the lines of The Wire than standard GTA. Of course this could all just come from some compulsive liar whos making things up for attention, gut given the fact that IV underperformed, I wouldnt be at all surprised to see R* pulling something drastic, something special like this out of the bag for V. But I guess we wont really know until R* decided to tell us. Still, Im excited by the idea of the next GTA game offering an entirely new experience, whether its multiple protagonists or something else entirely.
