[Update: Here it is! BOOM! As you can see in the footage, we're going back to San Andreas. At least the Los Santos area, judging from the footage. Oh wowzer!]

Grand Theft Auto V's debut trailer is happening today and we've got the video player cooking it right here. As you can tell from the nifty countdown, the video is not yet ready to go live, but as soon as it does, it'll be viewable immediately on this very page. 

The video should answer a lot of the rampant speculation that's occurred since the game's announcement, so we can finally stop getting our inboxes filled with analyst reports and rudderless editorials from around the web. 

Anyway, THIS IS EXCITING, RIGHT!?

Awesome, I can't wait! It will be hard for them to top San Andreas for me.

Is it stupid that we're all jizzing over what is essentially an advertisement? Yes. I don't care. GTAV!

Was I the only one who got sick of driving around absolutely nothing in San Andreas? Didn't even bother finishing that one.

Vice City the best one still. Apart from GTAIII obviously.

I've actually arranged to go off roading (I got a voucher for my birthday) at 3pm GMT today, so I'm going to miss this live. Crazy.

@Clance: Vice City is the best, totally agree.

@Alasdair Duncan yes!

Also, are you not willing to watch on iPhone whilst off roading, risking life and limb? Come on mate, this is GTA!

If it's San Andreas, I'm gonna GET HYPE.

I'm praying they fixed the driving in this one, the driving in 4 was garbage.

Also give me a character with more personality than a cardboard cut out.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I remember hearing they intentionally make the driving difficult so that you'll get wanted i.e. Hitting a cop car, pedestrian, ect.

San Andreas is the best, why can't we just all accept that?

I just started gta4 a few weeks ago. The level of detail in the game is truly amazing, from the dialog amongst ramdom pedestrians to the different handling in the numerous vehicles. I have about 35 hrs in,and still have quite a few missions left, though a lot of time was spent messing around with stunt jumps. My 2 biggest complaints would be the annoying friend activities and the fact that there's nothing to really spend all your earned cash on besides ammo,which is cheap. Its a wonderful game and I look forward to number 5.

Maybe it will be set in Las Venturas. Gta4 seemed to mention it a lot. Might be nice to see a new setting.

@toastedtoasters, driving in 4 took some time to get used to, but I believe the reason the camera is player controlled is to allow aiming while shooting and driving simultaneously. I didn't like it at first either, but was totally comfortable with it after a few hours

I'm probably in the minority, (and coincidentally I am a minority), but GTAIV is my favorite in the series. The driving is on point IMO, the city's recreation was incredible and the voice acting is superb. I'm personally hoping V is set in Vegas, though.

GTA $V Dollar Footlong

The main character will be fat, and joins the mafia so the bullies stop bothering him. The main safehouse of the game will be a Subway franchise owned by the mafia. Blahblahblah the rest is from the movie Goodfellas.

I is definitely correct.

What the hell? First the timer said 28 seconds. I thought I got lucky and was ready to watch. Then it hit zero and turned into 7 minutes. If 7 minutes pass and it turns to 7 hours, I'm going back to bed.

Wait... it said 2 hours for me a second ago, which is why I thought it was at noon...
Now it says 3 minutes... 10 EST?

OK, I'm going to call it: most, if not all of the trailer is going to be beige-coloured.

I really was going to say 'hope it's GTA set in the 50s, possibly involving corruption', then realised Rockstar had already published that game this year.

So... here's hoping it's set either in the Model-T era or the distant future.

I heard from a potentially bullshit source that the game will be set in San Andreas in 2012 and you play as a Hispanic dude named Adrian. I'm anxious to see if it's true, because if it is, that means I can be excited about the whole shitload of awesome features the source listed.

Please please please, let it not be another GTA 4. The game had good qualities, mainly the artwork on the geography, but the story was meh and I got tired of the clothing choices.

I'd like it to move from one city to a completely new one half way. In 2012, too much to ask?

The rumour in Dundee is that a future game will have you returning to Vice City present day to take down none other than Tommy Vercetti.

You are right about the cars handling like shit in GTA 4. San Andreas was much more fun in that regard.

I heard it’s going to be set in three cities, Tokyo, London, and Moonbase 02 and it will star Tommy Vercetti’s daughter, Tammy Vercitti!

Also they decided to be controversial again and have included children NPCs and something called an abortion-gun.

I'm glad I'm not the only one hoping that GTA goes to Washington.

I wouldn't mind a return to San Andreas either.

@barbecue: VI is 6.

I'm not a big fan of GTA games but if Rockstar puts the level of attention into the story for this one that they did with RDR or LA Noire I might give it a try.
