6. Character Is Important
Though the Grand Theft Auto series has always put strong stock into its characters, this takes unto itself a far greater importance with GTA V, given that the game boasts three protagonists who we can swap behind at an apparent whim. From this brief, 2-minute trailer, we've already begun to get to know Michael, Trevor and Franklin; we know a little of their personality traits, and it's a strong indication that Rockstar aren't skimping on development despite having to deal with two additional protagonists. Given that we play as all three, this should drag us further into the drama, and with the hope that their stories will intersect in interesting fashion, this could make for an extremely impressive, even game-changing entry into the GTA series. Furthermore, if each character has less screen time than a single protagonist so far, it's important that the character beats are sharp and to the point.
