GTA5 to have extremely large map

Rockstar Games unveiled new information about Grand Theft Auto V, which is slated for a Spring 2013 release. The game promises an extremely large map, Rockstar claims the game's city, Los Santos, will be bigger than GTA IV, Red Dead Redemption and GTA San Andreas combined!.

The game will have three main characters, and the game publishers also revealed that the game will have more vehicles than ever before, including planes and aircraft accessible from early within the game.
The game’s three main characters are Michael, an ex-bank robber now living the high life following a deal with the FIB (the game’s version of the FBI); Franklin, a young gang member from the wrong side of the tracks who has gone into semi-legitimate business as a repo man; and Trevor, a maniacal drug addict and lifelong criminal who once flew for the military.

All three characters have their own lives, homes and daily routines, and the player will be able to switch between them at will when not taking part in a mission. The trio’s stories closely intertwine, and they’ll be teaming up for selected missions in the game, some of which will be elaborate, extended heists in which you’ll be able to change character at selected points.
