"Why did I move here? I guess it was the weather.
Or the... Ah I don't know, that thing. That magic.
You see it in the movies.
I wanted to retire. From what I was doing, you know?
From that, that... line of work. Be a good guy for once, a family man.
So, I bought a big house. Came here, put my feet up, and thought I'd be a dad like all the other dads.
My kids, would be like the kids on TV.
We could play ball and sit in the sun.
But well, you know how it is."

Official Gameplay Video
Transcript
Narrator: With Grand Theft Auto V, Rockstar have tried to re-imagine the open world game in a number of ways. The game world is beautiful, massive and diverse. A sprawling, satirical re-imagining of modern Southern California. Covering mountains and oceans, expensive stores, and strip malls. Urban decay, and untouched wilderness. Beaches and backwoods. The sublime, and the ridiculous. Greed, and hypocrisy.
Simeon: You tell me exactly what you want, and I will very carefully explain to you why it cannot be.
Franklin: What?
Franklin: So what we doin' here?
Trevor: We're working, amigo.
Narrator: For the first time, the game features not one, but three would-be heroes.
Trevor: So, now what?
Narrator: Michael, a once successful bank robber, and now less successful family man.
Tracey (off screen): Jimmy called me a bitch!
Jimmy: You know, you're a real asshole.
Michael: What did you just say to me?!
Amanda: Stop it! You're ruining my yoga!
Narrator: Franklin, a humble street hustler convinced he's surrounded by morons.
Franklin: You can't repo the assets of a dead man, "big sitting chief asshole"!
Narrator: And then there's Trevor.
Trevor: Fuck! ...Ahhh!
Narrator: The less said about him, the better.
Introducing three lead characters, transforms both the narrative into one interwoven story and the structure of individual missions. Players can cut between vantage points.
Michael: Yeah, I could use a little backup here.
Narrator: And from one high octane moment to the other.
Franklin: I got you.
IAA Member: He's got support!
Michael: Get us outta' here!
Trevor: Roger that!
Narrator: This helps to give missions new levels of diversity and intensity.
Franklin: (inhaling marijuana) Damn!
Narrator: When not on a mission, the use of three lead characters also allow for a touch of voyeurism. As you can drop in at any moment and find out what your new friends have been up to as they go about their days.
Jimmy: Jeez pop, too much more of that and maybe I won't be dead by 35!
Trevor: Hey officer, give it up, this is getting way outta' hand!
Narrator: The world is not only huge, it's packed with a vast array of things to see and do; cars to customize, planes to fly, clothes to buy, sports to play, nirvana's to pursue, oceans to dive, animals to spot, hunt, or be hunted by, freaks to watch, meet, and befriend.
Griff: Now get the hell outta' here!
Narrator: Bounties to hunt...
Ralph: No no! No!
Narrator: And on and on.
Maude: How have you been?
Trevor: Oh, simply wonderful, and you?
Maude: Somewhere stuck between joyful and peachy.
Narrator: There's also been a huge focus on mechanics in the game, to make every aspect as fun and fluid as it is broad. Everything from driving and shooting, to tennis and bike riding feels fun and responsive. However, alongside all of this leisure, people also have to take care of business. For all their pretensions, these men are dangerous thieves.
Michael: So it's an industrial area, right? So I'm thinking vehicles... trash truck to block, tow truck to sack.
Narrator: To survive, they have to setup and pull off a series of increasingly audacious heists.
Lester: Gentlemen, some plans for your attention.
Narrator: The player sets these up for themselves and decides how to execute them and with whom.
Lester: There's two ways I see of doing this, we go in smart...
Michael: (whispering) Let's go.
Lester: ...Or we go in loud and dumb.
Michael: Let's go!
Michael: Now ladies and gentlemen, this is your moment! Please don't make me ruin all the great work your plastic surgeons have been doing!
Narrator: After the take is divided, you decide what to spend your money on. Anything from sensible investments, like tattoos and fast cars, to risky ventures like stocks or Los Santos real estate. And then there's Grand Theft Auto Online, which we will show you properly soon.
Grand Theft Auto Online: Official Gameplay Video
Transcript
Narrator: With Grand Theft Auto Online, Rockstar Games is looking to bring the heart of the Grand Theft Auto experience to a living online world with multiple players. Just what you choose to do in that world, is up to you. The game combines a consistent and continuingly expanding world, full of personalities.
Lester: Welcome to paradise, heh. Well that was awkward.
Narrator: With a wide array of redesigned mechanics, and a huge range of both structured, and unstructured activities for you to do. After you fly into Los Santos, you're introduced to the world and its many opportunities for earning and spending money.
Lamar: You need to better represent-ate yourself, you know what I'm talking about?
Narrator: Having fun, and getting into trouble. You can run around on your own making friends, and enemies. or band together and form a crew. Then tackle a heist, rob a liquor store, or compete in classic online modes. Or do much more besides. Complete any job, and you'll make money and earn reputation. Then you can spend peddy cash customizing your character, their outfits, weapon of choice, or favorite vehicle. As you make some real money, maybe you can buy an apartment, so friends can stop by and hang out, or buy a garage. Fill it with custom vehicles, and then take them racing by land, air, and sea. Or simply cruise around showing off. Everything you do helps you progress through the world. Introducing you to new characters.
Gerald: Now keep your mouth shut about me, you hear?
Narrator: New missions, rewards, and almost limitless opportunities. Rockstar will be constantly developing more content for you to enjoy. But you'll also be able to design your own races, and death matches using the content creator. Then you can share them with friends, and the world. Or try ones that other people have made. Grand Theft Auto Online brings the freedom of the Grand Theft Auto experience. To multiple players, in a dynamic shared world.

Trivia
- From Trailer #1:
- There is an easter egg at the scene right after the GoPostal Boxville van drives past the screen. There is a sidewalk with the street number 2405, which is a reference to the birthdate of Sam Houser, President of Rockstar Games.
- At 1:05, A Police Car has the registration number OCT 25 on its front. This is a possible easter egg on the date of the announcement of the trailer. Before the Spring 2013 release announcement was made, many people believed it to be an easter egg for a release date of the game, as all GTA games (except GTA IV because of delay, and DLCs) have been released in October.
- The lines and dialogue that Michael says may be a reference to Michael's voice actor Ned Luke, as he was beginning to retire from acting before he started working on GTA V.
- Franklin's Trailer is the only one that doesn't feature Trevor.
- In the Official Trailer, at approximately 0:18, when Trevor fires his shotgun at the security camera, it seems that the slugs goes straight through the camera and hits the wall. This is most likely a glitch.
- In the Online Heists Trailer, when Lester said "I know you've been complaining, but you weren't ready", this is an obvious reference made by Rockstar about their fans complaining about when heists were coming out.
- In the First Person Experience Trailer can be seen that the player is being chased by FIB Granger's with sirens off and 4 NOOSE officers hanging of the side. This is never seen during normal game-play or any missions.
- The 60fps PC Trailer is the only trailer that Rockstar didn't officially upload to their YouTube official account, instead to their own Website.
- This may have been due to YouTube's inability to make 60fps format to medium resolution (360p or 480p), while the Rockstar Website can.
