So, yet another Grand Theft Auto trailer about people in a city doing things.

I watched it with the sound off, but I’m assuming that the audio didn’t indicate that the gameplay was going to be anything other than a 2001-level sandbox?

Aww, heck, while I’m here why don’t I make a few other predictions about the game:

1) Everyone will go apeshit about the story, even though it will mostly consist of your character being given menial tasks to do in cutscenes.

2) The driving model will be some considerable distance away from “fun”.

3) The combat will play like the world’s most stilted cover-based shooter.

4) After the game has come out, one of the lead voice actors will complain that they weren’t paid enough.

5) The missions will be one of: chase a guy, shoot a guy, follow a guy, drive somewhere.

6) Pointless flab will be added to the existing formula. GTA IV gave us online dating with simpletons and irritatingly needy friends constantly wanting to play pool. I expect GTA V will simulate an actual paid desk job.

7) Unfunny radio stations.

Can’t wait to not buy this.
