3. It'll Have Awesome Music
This one is a little speculative, sure, but going by the music choice for the trailer - that's Stevie Wonder's "Skeletons", for anyone born in the nineties - GTA V is going to be blessed with the same judicious choice of music as its predecessors. Ever since GTA III, this has been one of the high-points of the series, and as its popularity has grown, it's become mind-boggling how many popular songs Rockstar have paid royalties for to have them in their game; who can forget the first time they rode along Vice City to Michael Jackson's Billie Jean, mowing down random pedestrians while riding a motorbike? Music is so important to these games in creating a mood; just like San Andreas had Guns N' Roses and plenty of gangster rap, we hope that GTA V can mine some timely music that accentuates the atmosphere and even the personalities of the three protagonists.
