Well it's just an assumtion for now here what I think.

The guy talking in the trailer is Tommy.

Here's an extract from GTAWiki

Tommy Vercetti continued to run the criminal underworld of Vice City until at least 1989-1992, although his relationship with Ken Rosenberg became increasingly strained due to Rosenberg's cocaine addiction. Tommy eventually sends Ken into rehab at the Fort Carson Medical Center in Fort Carson, San Andreas, later refusing to answer his telephone calls. He is one of the only GTA III-era protagonists who has not been established, or implied, as having been killed at some point after the game timeframe. In one Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas mission, a man with a strikingly similar appearance to Tommy Vercetti is briefly seen. He does not speak, and whether he actually was Tommy is not confirmed either way.

Here'sa screenshot I took just a few minutes ago while scanning through the trailer.

that's probably just some random pedestrian.

i will have to go back and watch the trailer though it seems to me it would be pretty obvious to hear if it is ray liottia(or however you spell it) if it is him.

I think it is a reasonable guess but for all the wrong reasons. There is no indication that the picture you have from the trailer is anything more than a background extra like most of the clips they show.

What little we see of possible characters shows an older guy which would more likely be a modern Vercetti than that young fit dude you show.

When was it ever implied or established that the other GTA III-era protagonists were killed after the game time frame?

If true, then it would be a first day buy for me. Vice City, its story, and Tommy were my favorite GTA game, GTA story and GTA character. That would make up for everything (or more appropriately lack thereof) in GTAIV.

i thought that was more likely also. that is the guy in all the car shots.

it still didn't sound much like him though.

it was hard to tell though the east coast accent was not as strong as tommys old accent.

There's a lot of hinting that Tommy is the main character.Could be.It's not weird for Rockstar to create an older character.They've done a lot of characters,this one would just add to the list.

It's starting to look like all the surviving GTA protagonists have found their way to Los Santos. How badass would it be if we got to play as all of them? :shock:

I highly doubt they'll have a 50-60 year old protagonist in a GTA game.

I never thought that much of Tommy. He was ok, but he really pales in comparison to CJ and Niko. Yeah I know he's a "badass", but he just seemed to lack character and emotion compared to future GTA main characters. I found CJ and Niko much easier to relate to.

And here i had a slight ray of hope that this thread might have had info. from Rockstar that it's confirmed. Damn..

I don't think it's Tommy, each GTA starred a different character, don't see why they would change that tradition now.

Maybe its the age of Tommy V. 5 5?

They already have with the revisit to the game world in Liberty City, in a different time. Some people said the world in IV was life like. That's good enough for me to be it's own character.

You should realize that

A) That was a random jogger, not the main character (most likely), and

B) Tommy is 60 years old, so he isn't gonna look that good, and also

C) Rockstar is more or less toning down the continuity from previous generation GTA games, so while their adventures very well may have occurred in the new GTA universe, you aren't going to personally see any of them outside of public references on billboards, radio or TV.

If anything, I'd wager the guy if Frank West.

For one thing though we know is present day base on the cars and buildings, so Vercetti is probably a grandpa by now.

50's. Still doing crime just to get by. I think the story is just that. He doesn't want to start a family or his house is a poor slum. Just like the dream Niko had this guy has or he knows what he is saying is sarcasm, probably.

That guy looks old enough to be 50 - 60, further more we don't know nothing about the timeline of this next GTA. What if its set in 2001? Or '98. Who knows.

I don't think it is Tommy and I think it would be smarter if it wasn't Tommy. I've played him before, I know his story. It's time to experience someone else's.

I'm just glad planes are back :)

Yeah,not to mention Rockstar's gonna want to make fun of social networking and 2012.
