V doesn't have to have Saints Row level of silliness, it just has to get back to III's level of silliness.

How big is LA in real life?

Los Angeles has an area of 468 square miles, compared to 14 in San Andreas.

I'm calling bullshit, but I would be pleasantly surprised if a jetski chase actually made it into the game.

That sounds like a mix of features from San Andreas and Saints Row. Not bad.

I don't really like it when GTA is amazingly silly. Some silliness is fine, but not a bunch. GTA IV was a good amount.

Everything aside from the fueling thing sounds reasonable.

I remember refueling being a proposed/desired feature since we first got screens of San Andreas. I'm baffled as to why anyone would actually want that.

It adds a sense of realism, though I grant that it might be an Acceptable Break from Reality to have cars which can drive forever.

When I play GTA, the time period in which the cars my PC drives are still capable of moving fits exceedingly well within the time limit of a full gas tank running out, Video Game Time aside.

UPDATE: Future Publishing's Tim Clark, Editor in Chief of Official Play Station Magazine has refuted claims that any leak has come from a Future journalist on Twitter, saying:

"Just to make super clear, that 'journalist' with the GTA insider 'info' sure as shit doesn't work for either of Future's Play Station mags."

We can confirm that any supposed leak has not come from Imagine Publishing's Play Station magazine, Play.

Just so everyone sees this. It doesn't mean it's automatically false info, but I'm doubtful.

I just hope that they make the protagonist sympathetic to some degree this time. Nico was just so unremittingly dickish it turned me off the game.

[up][up] I have no idea if that wat was directed at me, but I'll try to elaborate on the off chance it was. I understand that Niko was to some degree shellshocked, but he was just (as I remember, I haven't played the game in years) a horrible human being. I think that part of it was the tonal shift. In 3 and Vice City, you were doing these terrible things, but the setting was so ridiculous that it was easy to dissociate. They then 'gritty-fied' 4 and everything just became too dark. Obviously YMMV, but for me it was Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy. Maybe the route that they're taking the games means that they're just not my thing anymore, but if they made the main character slightly less psychopathic (and by extension more relatable) in V I suspect I'd love it.

It's a treatise condemning the American Dream disguised as a revenge story. How exactly is Niko so unrelatable and unsympathetic as opposed to Tommy Vercetti?

Oh, he's not, but Vice City had a element of ridiculousness running through it that made me care less. I think that it was the tonal shift on top of a protagonist I considered unlikable that was the problem to me rather than just the protagonist himself. And yeah, I saw what they were trying to do with IV thematically, I just didn't like it. Then again, most people did, and it made them a lot of money, so I'll accept that pleasing me probably isn't their main aim.

well he's a video game character, so mass murder is par for the course. Niko was probably the nicest GTA protagonist, with John Marston being the most sympathetic.

Is using "Julian Assange is a Hillary butt plug" an acceptable signature quote?

The claim to getting access to half an hour of playing the game was a dead giveaway, but again, some of those things actually sound reasonable.
