young maylay (CJ) voicing Franklin in this?

Stevie wonder skeletons playing in the background I'm sold Rockstar still got good taste in music.

On some real ? , that Franklin cat do sound like CJ...
I know that Young Maylay cat was an aspiring rapper, and we know aspiring rappers are doomed for failure so its not farfetched to think Rockstar threw son a bone and let him voice one of the protagonist....other than that, this game is a first day cop....I'm going ham with that Trevor redneck -
meh...... let see some actual game play

GTA V File Size May Need More Than Two Discs on Xbox 360
GTA V’s second trailer has definitely brought thunder to gamers and critiques. As expected, theories have sprouted from all four corners of the gamingsphere and the most interesting ones we’ve uncovered is all about GTA V’s file size requiring multiple discs for Xbox 360.
Data Mining
Before we delve deeper on the discussion, it would be interesting to data mine first all the facts we needed on settling the argument — like, the number of discs required for GTA IV and Rockstar’s two recently published titles: L.A Noire & Max Payne for Xbox 360.
GTA IV: Needs 1 disc For Xbox 360 while 2 discs for PC (at least 16GB of storage required)
L.A Noire: Needs 3 discs For Xbox 360 (for single player, multiplayer and cutscenes) while 2 discs for PC (at least 17GB of storage required).
Max Payne: Needs 2 discs for Xbox 360 and 4 discs for PC (at least 35GB of storage).
(PC storage requirement based from Rockstar Support Page)
GTA V With More than Two Discs Is Possible, If…
Using the data we have above, we can get a good scenario on how many discs will GTA V require.
First, we’ll try to quote G.I’s cover for GTA V’s map size stating it would be bigger than GTA IV + San Andreas + Red Dead Redemption combined. Does bigger map size equates to bigger environment? Of course. But does that equate to bigger file size? Not necessarily if, Rockstar would hire script-kiddies to compress V’s textures, audio and other elements — a similar move done by Bethesda to Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
But we should remember, Rockstar Games ain’t Bethesda.
This is the part where we can use the data above. As you can see, it shows Rockstar don’t really like to do any compression for its games. Take a look at GTA IV eating 7GB of space for 1 DVD then it jumped to two disc for PC; while Max Payne 3 required 2 DVDs (a total of 15-16GB of space) then it jumped to a whopping 35GB of file size on PC. The only exception here is L.A Noire, which was compressed when it was ported to PC, simply because it was mainly developed by Team Bondi and, you can’t really expect PC gamers to buy six DVDs for a single game.
Another Important Thing
GTA V’s engine is different from L.A Noire. The latter used Team Bondi’s ? capture technology that really put a toll on calculating its total storage; Meanwhile, the former is expected to use a technology similarly with GTA IV although it’s still debatable if it’ll go ala Max Payne 3 style where single-layer and multiplayer are separated on two different discs.
Results
Based from Rockstar’s history, L.A Noire is the only published game that required 3 Disc for X360. But since GTA V won’t be using ? recognition technology, it would be safe to assume the sandbox title will require 2 DVDs at least. Then again, a possibility may arrive wherein the company will separate the cutscenes or bonus content to a third DVD.
Interestingly, there’s also a similar discussion here wherein players are debating about V’s file size and disc requirement. But one thing is fore sure though, the game won’t require four disc for Xbox 360 simply because it would increase the cost of its production and won’t meet the $60 line for a triple-A title. -
SMH X-Box still stalling the release of games.
