Grand Theft Auto 5 has been revealed – and we’re going back to the West Coast! Here’s the trailer if you haven’t already seen it a million different places on the Internet today:

I’m excited. Everyone should be excited. Grand Theft Auto is arguably the greatest video game franchise out there. It is one of the rare modern video games that changed how we play them. When Grand Theft Auto 3 hit back in the early 00s, it changed the face of gaming forever. And I was there. Heck, I was there for the fun and hilarity of Grand Theft Auto 2. It still had the open world, but it was all top down. Still an absolute blast to play though.

So any new GTA game is cause to celebrate.

Right now, we can tell from the trailer that the game will take place at least in Los Santos, the GTA version of Los Angeles. Los Santos was last seen in GTA: San Andreas, which was a massive game featuring stand-in cities for Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas, as well as all the countryside in between them.

Will GTA 5 have all 3 cities again? Will it have countryside? Only time will tell!

Now I just need to buy an HD TV before it comes out.
