== Setting ==
Grand Theft Auto V will be set in modern day Los Santos; a fictionalized condensed version of [[Los Angeles]]. A rendition of Los Santos with virtually the same elements in addition to San Fierro; a city based on [[San Francisco]] and Las Venturas; a city based on [[Las Vegas]] were previously featured in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], arguably the most successful game in the Grand Theft Auto franchise commercially and critically.
On November 3, 2011, [[Rockstar Games]] released a press release boasting the significance of the installment to the controversial franchise, which to date has no additional information or release dates attached to it.
<blockquote>Developed by series creator Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto V heads to the city of Los Santos and surrounding hills, countryside and beaches in the largest and most ambitious game Rockstar has yet created.
A bold new direction in open-world freedom, storytelling, mission-based gameplay and online multiplayer, Grand Theft Auto V focuses on the pursuit of the almighty dollar in a re-imagined, present day [[Southern California]].</blockquote>

Despite a lack of release dates or specific information regarding the storyline and plot, the trailer contains may references to [[income disparity]], [[homelessness]] the [[recession]] and [[drug dealing]]. It has been speculated that the game, heavily anticipated by children and teenagers actually revolves around "''the disparity between the rich and the poor''" and "''the problems with [[capitalism]]''".

The series has a long history of positive elements as well, such as parodying real life brand names and companies, and shedding a light on real life issues, regardless of the player's political stance, such as the link between [[fast food]] and [[obesity]], and people's willingness to purchase [[Generic drug|prescription drugs without a brand name]].
