So far we know Take-Two Interactive (the parent company of Rockstar Games) registered several domain names which sound like parody products to coincide with Grand Theft Auto 5. DeviceMag found some more information I’ll try to summarize here. In a very long, roundabout way, @supererogatory discovered that “Rush” is probably the code name for GTA V. The game is also rumored to be set in or around Hollywood.
DeviceMag also found a possible character list for “Rush” posted by randrews. That character list is after the jump and includes three FBI agents, a stereotypical hillbilly, a cult leader, a soccer mom, a swinger, a pothead, a publicist, a car dealer/loanshark, a paranoid guy, an IT guy, some hippies, a “Beverly Hills party boy”, a mobster, a Chinese translator, and somebody named Simon who is referred to but not described. I hope Simon shoots everyone else on the list except the Chinese translator and the IT guy. I might need them.
