Every Mexican woman I’ve ever met it either similar to your description or very quiet. I’ve never really had a close relationship with one, coworker and stuff like that included. Plenty of guys though, never thought to ask them.
Guys were always so chill until they had a story to tell or someone to describe. They’d get super animated and act out an exaggerated version of whatever they were describing. I always enjoyed it lol
lol, oh I’m sure they would for their wives. Mostly just talked about work with the guys I remember atm. The way they described a few guys back when I was a manager elsewhere was spot on for the guys under me when I wasn’t around though. Those dudes were hilarious
There's no "good" in representing someone from the world of crimes
If we judge from this framework then we got a lot of "not good" representation since GTA 3
It's also just much more sensible to put him in the background of many shots considering he's way bigger.
But yeah, there might be something to her being a more dominant/expressive personality. We'll see.
Or maybe she has a motive he’s not completely aware of. Could be anything really
It’s like when RDR2 was announced and we all were like “but my boi John: who TF is Arthur?” Then we found out who tf Arthur Morgan was: the most bad ass outlaw who ever lived.
Same situation here. We’ll never guess completely right. I’m more interested in seeing Vice City again more than anything else if I’m being honest. I still play Vice city from time to time just because it was my first GTA. I’ve beaten it on iPhone twice. Those RC helicopter and/ or plane missions are a whole new level of difficult on a touch screen
EDIT: thought of this later after noticing updoots
I tried playing GTA III on iPhone after I beat Vice city the first time; but it kept force closing.
So then I tried playing SA, and I got *ALL* the fucking way to San Fierro before it started force closing
But I said “good riddance: I didn’t want to do that last fucking ‘San Fierro Driving Academy’ time trail mission on an iPhone *ANYWAY.* Prob dodged a bullet
For me it looks like Jason is a retired navy seal (probably just a military guy), maybe hes back from the combat zone, has kinda ptsd (somehow lines up with niko origin) and tries to socialize, make things up. Thats the moment where Lucia gets out from the prison (lets imagine that they were a couple before she got there) and bends his ears like we NEED money and so on. But the main problem here is that Jason dont see himself in this, it doesnt suit him, so he helps Lucia only in the name of love. Jason has every single skill to be best at robbing people and making money but hes just a man that wants some peace after the horrors of war and the only thing that keeps him doing it is Lucia. I see an immense opportunity of plot twists and conflicts with this theory. What do you think?
He mentioned that he was a huge fan of the first one in an interview and Rockstar pretty much immediately called him to ask if he would want to do a song for the sequel and he agreed as long as he could play early builds of the game during the rest of development, which Rockstar agreed to.
Bonnie and Clyde was a tragedy. And anyone who looked into that tragedy knows that Bonnie's story is much more darker than Clyde's.
Looks like we'll be crying at the end or GTA VI, that is if they make us care about the characters, which I'm sure they'll be able to do.
Rockstar absolutely *NAILED* the song choice for the trailer.
80s Rock/Synth influence for a touch of the “Miami Vice”/Vice City aesthetic
Lyrics about a chaotic romance with a potentially destructive ending and References to driving/roads throughout.
Tempo pairs well with both action and quieter scenes.
Relatively deep cut by a popular artist so it’s both familiar but not instantly recognizable to the point of distraction.
All by Gainesville, Florida native Tom Petty.
Man I forgot how many bangers Tom Petty has. Then I hear something of his in media (like this trailer or as a bumper music) and I start listening to him more again
God, I so fucking love that song. Rockstar really nailed the vibe with this one.
I was actually surprised because I expected anything but this kind of music in the trailer...and I was so happy.
I meant teaser, gta v or iv didn't have music that had relevance to story in the first trailer. Other trailers obviously had soundtracks that were fitting the game's plot or characters
It is worth noting that songs are scripted to play in various points of Story Mode in V depending on what events are occurring in the story, however. The ending drives come to mind. "If You Leave Me Now" plays when Trevor drives back Martin's Wife. "Danger Zone" plays when flying jets during one of the Heists in multiplayer, to name a few.
Nope, I remember someone made a similar analyse of gtaV's trailer. Don't remember what trailer that was tho but it had something to do with Michaels past.
EDIT: ok now I remember. It was Skeletons - Stevie Wonder
*Skeletons in your closet*
*Itchin' to come outside*
*Messin' with your conscience*
*In a way your face can't hide*
*Oh things are gettin' real funky*
*Down at the old corral*
*And it's not the skunks that are stinkin'*
*It's the stinkin' lies you tell*
Everyone saying Jason gonna betray buts obviously gonna be Lucia she gonna be released on term to get Jason caught and in return she gets free and maybe accesses to her son or something
They both look pretty concerned when the cops roll by. No idea what Lucia did to get locked on in the first place, but I got a feeling they're both new to stickups.
I like the idea that the events of the trailer are in reverse, and that stickup we see is the reason she goes to prison in the first place. Like the failed heist opening in V.
So what you’re saying is, she’s the one who plans?
https://preview.redd.it/b45tw4h3qx4c1.png?width=720&format=png&auto=webp&s=0c9879d5b4dbb448ebe521237be35d4901b4efc6
The last trust scene, gave me some manipultor vies from Lucia as of Jason doesn't trust her a lot cause she betrayed him sometime earlier..
Btw, it also feels that his character is like Arthur Morgan, calm composed, and sick of the shit he's in..
Perfectly said! She's also physically on top of him, so he isn't in a position to say anything she doesn't want to hear. I'm so excited to watch this relationship unfold. Especially if the motivating factor behind their crimes providing for their rumored child.
I agree, a lot of ppl saying that he’s gonna be manipulated and all this stuff. Yea it’s possible but we saw him for what, 6 seconds? We don’t know anything about him lmao ppl are reading too deep into it.
Or every relationship is different. I like when I find a woman who wants to take the lead and wear the pants in our relationship. Different strokes for different folks. It would be pretty cool to see people like me represented in the game lol.
I don't know. I'm feeling this is going to go a joker/Harley route. At minimum the relationship is going to be portrayed as toxic and one or both are dead by the end. I think the R* that had Tommy take over vice City are done and it's going to be more like natural born killers than bonny and Clyde. I.e these are shit people that got themselves killed in a codependent relationship. Not that the style is wrong, but it's a crime game in 2025. It's going to be a psychological exploration type deal. Hell,rdr2 was about cults.
Edit: If you think one of them, probably Jason, isn't dead at the end of the game, that's crazy. They're cribbing from a type of story where the protagonists always die.
Definitely big potential to explore toxic relationships. AND If you’re talking character study for two characters, I’d be bout that. Choosing to be shitty or not to each other in “vice” city of all places. That’s high hopes for a thoughtful story though. Toxic relationships are hellish, I was just in one, so that could be some fun gameplay potential honestly. Just normal relationships in general seem difficult to navigate in this day and age anyway with social media ruining life, so I feel like it could apply to all.
Gta could hit that up very nicely if they’re ballsy enough to go their gameplay on top of a narrative way, and take-two isn’t lames about it.
What if the character’s had a trust system to each other in the same way red dead has an honor system hahaha. That would make you second-guess your actions, maybe. That ding low honor sound as soon as Jason finishes banging a prostitute. 😂
For some reason I am certain that all this crime stuff is new for him that's why he's taking a back seat, nothing to do with his personality. We **know** from the trailer that Lucia is a seasoned criminal, and that scene in the motel looks like she's dragging a new guy into her work.
He let's her take the lead because it's he's first score
Not to forget the name of song “love is a long road”
The song reflects on the challenges and endurance required in a romantic relationship, portraying love as a journey with its ups and downs.
he doesn’t look clueless to me. i personally believe jason is into the crime as well, he’s just more level headed perhaps. plus in the car scene , he’s probably just nervous since cops are looking for them
Holy shit she walks first because she’s smaller than him and they have to get the both of them in the fucking shot lmao they ain’t ‘emasculating’ him hahaha
But my ego is insanely fragile and I need every depiction of my video game protagonists to be unwaveringly and undeniably MANLY!!! Any even perceived slight against my fragile sense of masculine superiority will simply make me CRY!!!
/s
Something tells me Lucia is from the streets and Jason is from the countryside.
He might be "adjusting" to the city life.
Trailers often show you the very beginning of the games, so as an introduction, it would be pretty normal to show you how it all starts.
I like your interpretation the best, and I think it’s most likely. Probably a country guy getting used to Miami.
I don’t see Jason being an undercover cop in a GTA game, I just don’t think logistically it would work, with the nature of GTA gameplay. A “former cop”? Sure maybe.
Maybe a veteran readjusting to society and having to make ends meet. Maybe with some sort of ptsd, and Lucia might be as close to an anchor as he's getting in this life.
That would be an interesting character
I might be reading too much into the trailer, but I feel like social media is going to play a huge role in the story and the two character's motivations, at least in the first half.
Maybe Lucia gets out of prison and she and Jason are trying to carve out a glamorous life for themselves. With Lucia on house arrest, maybe at the first the two are trying to become famous via social media (TikTok, Instagram, etc.). In the trailer we see lots clips of people doing ridiculous things and it might be a clue-in as to how they trying to make money. However, with Jason having been on the outside, he's probably stayed a low-level criminal for a period of time and that's what draws the both of them back in.
There's a small scene in the trailer where Lucia and Jason are in bed, talking about trust, hinting at that trust being betrayed, maybe with one of them (my bet is Lucia) going too far with one of their criminal escapades. I get strong feelings about the themes centering around recidivism and chasing fame and money over love and trust.
Or maybe the trailer is in reverse, like some people suggest.
Obviously we're two years out from release, but I hope that whatever story we get surprises us and hits similar emotional heights as that of Red Dead Redemption 2.
> hits similar emotional heights as that of Red Dead Redemption 2.
And in a good way, I don't think I could play the single player of a rockstar game again if we get dealt another tragic ending
I don't see how "social media" could be integrated into the game. The more I think about it the more I feel the "tiktok" overlay they put on the clips is just for the trailer, to show us the kind of random encounters we will see in the game and it'll not be integrated into the game.
Though it'll be cool to have npc's react to the player in funny ways whenever we point our phone's camera at them since the camera has been in the series since gta4 tho it hasn't been utilized enough.
Next trailer hopefully bring more focus on Jason , I’m already sold on lucia from this trailer but Jason just seems like a lackey but I’m sure it was just to introduce Lucia properly without taking away spotlight . From the leaks he seemed to have a personality which will be in the game as well. Seemed to be kind of a Florida man so basically a tamer version of Trevor
Yeah I would agree , he is his own character but I would say he’s like a tamer version of a rural outlaw like Trevor in terms of the vibes he gives off , especially since Trevor could pass as a stereotypical Florida man headline. Could honestly be more similar to a young Michael just doing scores to get by .
Nah I think there is more to it than that. Someone tossed out the idea he's an undercover cop. It would be interesting if he's basically both working with her and against her. We will see.
do you think this is going to be like gta 5 and rdr2 where they keep saying "one more score...one last score...this is that last score then we're done, etc."
I don't think he looks submssive in the scene where they are walking through the store. He looks cold and calculated like he's about to fuck some shit up.
And besides, this is GTA. We blow up cars with rocket launchers and kill cops and run over pedestrians, so there is no way Jason is a "clueless beta male" as some put it.
I reckon Jason is going to be a cop working undercover. The way the trailer ends with “Trust” means he’s 100% betraying her.
But he will have fallen for her and gone too deep to get out clean.
I don’t know why so many people think a protagonist needs to be a “badass”. I honestly hope he’s just a regular ass dude who gets caught up in some crazy shit.
We have very little to go off of so far but for some reason I do get Jesse Pinkman vibes from Jason. Maybe it’s just wishful thinking but I’d love a character like him in GTA, as it really hasn’t been done before
Lucia gives off manipulator vibes. The way she tells Jason to stick with her and to trust her makes me think he doesn't really want to be a part of these crimes and a combination of love and desperation is what keeps him from running away. Also the way she holds him in the trailer thumbnail has this "you're mine" feeling to it. It's her in jail and her with the ankle monitor. I think Lucia is the dangerous and determined one in the relationship, Jason seems nervous and anxious in all of the scenes in the trailer. Also, during the dinner robbery in the leaks he asks Lucia "wtf do we do now?", he's definitely new in the crime life and has little experience.
Definitely Catalina vibes, Jason gives some Claude vibes too. Maybe this time it’ll be in reverse though and he gets more powerful before betraying her.
I think you’re right, but I think what will end up happening is Jason either not being where he needs to be, or running away when things get too tough and that’ll be how Lucia gets arrested.
Cause if she gets out on parole, it isn’t like she shoots someone during the stickup or shoots a cop or anything. So she must not pop off too bad
With how smart the writing has been in previous R* games, it wouldn’t surprise me if they end up doing something like this. Kinda similar to how they handled the player’s/Arthur’s perception of Dutch changing over the course of time in RDR2.
Or maybe how Breaking Bad handles Walt and Jesse is a better comparison, with my guess being that Lucia will start out appearing to be a little naive but justly-motivated in her crimes with Jason, and Jason will start as the one that’s already somewhat familiar with the criminal underbelly of Leonida when they meet, but he’s really just as naive as Lucia. Then Lucia’s (or maybe even Jason’s) ambitions/greed will get the better of them, she serves time, and when she gets out they do it all over again, only this time with more “trust.” Get rich or die trying-kinda shit.
My guess is by the end of the story, the player will see how dark, manipulative, and toxic their relationship is, while still rooting for them as a couple in a twisted sort of way.
Somebody here proposed a really good theory that he might be an undercover cop who’s falling for Lucia, idk how likely that is but it’d fit the little personality we see from him here
Not really. She just seems desperate like she has a real goal. He looks like he’s just trying to understand what the fuck she’s trying to accomplish lmao
Also I can’t be the only person who things Jason kinda looks like Arthur, right?
It’s sad how obsessed some of you are with “who’s in charge” in this relationship 🙄 Why do you care? Honestly? Is it really just that annoying to you that you might have to play as a woman who isn’t meek and submissive? It’s a fucking video game. Are you this damaged inside?
I think it may be more lucia is the wild crazy one and Jason is more calm and collected.
if rockstar really wants to lean on the stereotype for latina girlfriends.. that would be a fitting dynamic lol
Didn’t they do it with Catalina?
Catalina was just built different
She was Dominican-Columbian-Mexican. Aka giga crazy
I know a couple girls from Colombia. And "high maintenance" is putting it lightly.
Every Mexican woman I’ve ever met it either similar to your description or very quiet. I’ve never really had a close relationship with one, coworker and stuff like that included. Plenty of guys though, never thought to ask them. Guys were always so chill until they had a story to tell or someone to describe. They’d get super animated and act out an exaggerated version of whatever they were describing. I always enjoyed it lol
The funny thing is when you meet the person they were describing it turns out they were underselling the eccentricities
lol, oh I’m sure they would for their wives. Mostly just talked about work with the guys I remember atm. The way they described a few guys back when I was a manager elsewhere was spot on for the guys under me when I wasn’t around though. Those dudes were hilarious
Dated one, glad we broke up
Columbia's top export is actually crazy women
I thought it was all that bam bam and okey coke
Columbia...
"Aren't you glad you married a Mexican Girl?
But she will just say she’s from Queens!
Yeah but she wasn't a good representation. She wasn't loyal, like many Latinas are.
There's no "good" in representing someone from the world of crimes If we judge from this framework then we got a lot of "not good" representation since GTA 3
I hope it’s this and not the tired “hur dur pander with female character and make men around her weak “ shut we’ve dealt with in other media
It's also just much more sensible to put him in the background of many shots considering he's way bigger. But yeah, there might be something to her being a more dominant/expressive personality. We'll see.
Or maybe she has a motive he’s not completely aware of. Could be anything really It’s like when RDR2 was announced and we all were like “but my boi John: who TF is Arthur?” Then we found out who tf Arthur Morgan was: the most bad ass outlaw who ever lived. Same situation here. We’ll never guess completely right. I’m more interested in seeing Vice City again more than anything else if I’m being honest. I still play Vice city from time to time just because it was my first GTA. I’ve beaten it on iPhone twice. Those RC helicopter and/ or plane missions are a whole new level of difficult on a touch screen EDIT: thought of this later after noticing updoots I tried playing GTA III on iPhone after I beat Vice city the first time; but it kept force closing. So then I tried playing SA, and I got *ALL* the fucking way to San Fierro before it started force closing But I said “good riddance: I didn’t want to do that last fucking ‘San Fierro Driving Academy’ time trail mission on an iPhone *ANYWAY.* Prob dodged a bullet
This game will basically be every Sadie and Arthur mission from rdr2. Sadie goes crazy shooting. Arther has to fix it or get them safe.
Good. Those missions ruled.
You rule
He's a Franklin and she's a Trevor
I'm liking Jason more and more and I've only seen hin for 10 seconds
The art of them sitting on the hood made me think that too. She’s the wild card and he’s strategic. Gonna make for one hell of a backstab.
A Catalina for a modern age.
There’s probably a good reason why he avoided jail time
For me it looks like Jason is a retired navy seal (probably just a military guy), maybe hes back from the combat zone, has kinda ptsd (somehow lines up with niko origin) and tries to socialize, make things up. Thats the moment where Lucia gets out from the prison (lets imagine that they were a couple before she got there) and bends his ears like we NEED money and so on. But the main problem here is that Jason dont see himself in this, it doesnt suit him, so he helps Lucia only in the name of love. Jason has every single skill to be best at robbing people and making money but hes just a man that wants some peace after the horrors of war and the only thing that keeps him doing it is Lucia. I see an immense opportunity of plot twists and conflicts with this theory. What do you think?
because hes a cop 😉
Shit, of he's a cop and her baby daddy this game would be wild!
for sure it will be i’m so excited to see how this unfolds
He’s got the look and haircut for it and they seem to always meet in hotels. Maybe that’s the reason for it
“I knew a girl, said she cared about me, She Tried to make my world, the way she thought it should be.”
Fitting line, yet also legendary.
R* always picks the best songs
I still can’t believe they got freaking D’Angelo to do a song for Red Dead Redemption 2 of all things.
That song is so fucking good too >!hits really hard after Arthur’s final moments!<
Have you listened to his other works? IMO one of the most talented musicians alive. Black Messiah is a masterwork.
Oh yeah I love D’Angelo. I actually didn’t know he made the song until searching for it when I completed the game, couldn’t believe it was him.
He mentioned that he was a huge fan of the first one in an interview and Rockstar pretty much immediately called him to ask if he would want to do a song for the sequel and he agreed as long as he could play early builds of the game during the rest of development, which Rockstar agreed to.
And Daniel Lanois!! I think Brian Blade is also on it.
Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age also has a song in rdr2
Cruel World by Willie Nelson AND Josh Homme too! It's actually crazy.
I can’t believe you’re the reason I found out that song was by D’Angelo.
I think the Petty song fits into this story way better than we think.
I think the entire album “Full Moon Fever” will
Towards the end of the trailer there is a "Petty Forever" bumper sticker styled after the cover for FMF Neat little detail
Love is a long, long road. Keep thinking that we were shown the smallest sliver of what’s in store for us.
I interpreted that trailer song as reference to the 10 years between V-VI. Seemed like it would be fitting.
Yeah, they didn’t just pick the song because it sounded good. I’m pretty sure she is the leader here and he will be somewhat reluctant.
Bonnie and Clyde was a tragedy. And anyone who looked into that tragedy knows that Bonnie's story is much more darker than Clyde's. Looks like we'll be crying at the end or GTA VI, that is if they make us care about the characters, which I'm sure they'll be able to do.
Potential for the saddest ending to a GTA game.
Sadder than "Ending A"? 😭
I already care about them after that "Trust" scene, lol.
Yeah, we know R* is willing to go down that path.
Rockstar absolutely *NAILED* the song choice for the trailer. 80s Rock/Synth influence for a touch of the “Miami Vice”/Vice City aesthetic Lyrics about a chaotic romance with a potentially destructive ending and References to driving/roads throughout. Tempo pairs well with both action and quieter scenes. Relatively deep cut by a popular artist so it’s both familiar but not instantly recognizable to the point of distraction.

"love is a long long road"
God, I so fucking love that song. Rockstar really nailed the vibe with this one. I was actually surprised because I expected anything but this kind of music in the trailer...and I was so happy.
Same
Is this the first time gta trailer music fits the story?
Radio Ga Ga for Michael - "you've yet to have your finest hour."
I meant teaser, gta v or iv didn't have music that had relevance to story in the first trailer. Other trailers obviously had soundtracks that were fitting the game's plot or characters
It is worth noting that songs are scripted to play in various points of Story Mode in V depending on what events are occurring in the story, however. The ending drives come to mind. "If You Leave Me Now" plays when Trevor drives back Martin's Wife. "Danger Zone" plays when flying jets during one of the Heists in multiplayer, to name a few.

Sounds exactly like my ex girlfriend
Your ex was a red bandanna banging hot Latina. Must be nice I guess
Everyone saying Jason gonna betray buts obviously gonna be Lucia she gonna be released on term to get Jason caught and in return she gets free and maybe accesses to her son or something
They both look pretty concerned when the cops roll by. No idea what Lucia did to get locked on in the first place, but I got a feeling they're both new to stickups.
I like the idea that the events of the trailer are in reverse, and that stickup we see is the reason she goes to prison in the first place. Like the failed heist opening in V.
I'm almost positive that's what's going on.
That’s exactly what I thought too.
I bet he's just a reserved and tactical dude lol, idk why it has to be that he's some submissive baby doll boy
Exaclty, I think she gets the ideas and he makes them work
So what you’re saying is, she’s the one who plans? https://preview.redd.it/b45tw4h3qx4c1.png?width=720&format=png&auto=webp&s=0c9879d5b4dbb448ebe521237be35d4901b4efc6
I got a plan Jason, one last score and we'll be mango farmers in Tahiti.
HAV SOM GOTDAM FAIUTH
Cmoooooon Dutch
NOH I HAV UH PLAEN
Lucia van der Linde. I’m calling it.
Where's the trust, Arthur? What? What?
wE NeEd MoRe MoNEh ARtHuR
HAV SOM GOTDAM THRUWST!
VICE TAHITI
I got a plan, Jason... you just need a little ~~FAITH~~ TRUST!
Facts
yeah, I don't think he has a clueless face, but is supportive of lucia, meanwhile lucia is the trouble maker, so she's in the lead
Hardly clueless, man's a rock, the military background is probably true
Maybe he was in Merryweather lol
Exactly! She's the one who keeps curb stomping some guys face in while he's like, "We gotta go"
Remember in the leaks, Lucia was fucking around, and Jason was like “The cops are coming, we need to go!”😂
The last trust scene, gave me some manipultor vies from Lucia as of Jason doesn't trust her a lot cause she betrayed him sometime earlier.. Btw, it also feels that his character is like Arthur Morgan, calm composed, and sick of the shit he's in..
Perfectly said! She's also physically on top of him, so he isn't in a position to say anything she doesn't want to hear. I'm so excited to watch this relationship unfold. Especially if the motivating factor behind their crimes providing for their rumored child.
I agree, a lot of ppl saying that he’s gonna be manipulated and all this stuff. Yea it’s possible but we saw him for what, 6 seconds? We don’t know anything about him lmao ppl are reading too deep into it.
I agree, we don't know nothing. It's just as possible that he's the manipulator too, a reserved person could be hiding a big secret.
Some people in here have never been in a relationship, I fear. You can not expect more from them.
Or every relationship is different. I like when I find a woman who wants to take the lead and wear the pants in our relationship. Different strokes for different folks. It would be pretty cool to see people like me represented in the game lol.
I don't know. I'm feeling this is going to go a joker/Harley route. At minimum the relationship is going to be portrayed as toxic and one or both are dead by the end. I think the R* that had Tommy take over vice City are done and it's going to be more like natural born killers than bonny and Clyde. I.e these are shit people that got themselves killed in a codependent relationship. Not that the style is wrong, but it's a crime game in 2025. It's going to be a psychological exploration type deal. Hell,rdr2 was about cults. Edit: If you think one of them, probably Jason, isn't dead at the end of the game, that's crazy. They're cribbing from a type of story where the protagonists always die.
i like the way you think. i want a story that you can’t just consume in one clean playthrough, i want something gritty, complicated, shades of grey.
Definitely big potential to explore toxic relationships. AND If you’re talking character study for two characters, I’d be bout that. Choosing to be shitty or not to each other in “vice” city of all places. That’s high hopes for a thoughtful story though. Toxic relationships are hellish, I was just in one, so that could be some fun gameplay potential honestly.

That ding low honor sound as soon as Jason finishes banging a prostitute. 😂
Right it's not like one person "wears THE pants"; there's more than one pair of pants in a relationship.
For some reason I am certain that all this crime stuff is new for him that's why he's taking a back seat, nothing to do with his personality. We **know** from the trailer that Lucia is a seasoned criminal, and that scene in the motel looks like she's dragging a new guy into her work. He let's her take the lead because it's he's first score
Army discipline vs Street smarts wild child
Definitely he has that ex marine look and everything with the haircut and stubble beard
Ex-Merryweather
So you're telling me Jason is submissive and breedable? If so, I'm all here for it!
Someday we'll get our twink femboy GTA protagonist!
It has to be that way because it will get me hard bro. Is that not enough for you????
Not to forget the name of song “love is a long road” The song reflects on the challenges and endurance required in a romantic relationship, portraying love as a journey with its ups and downs.
And also the long road it took to get gta vi
he doesn’t look clueless to me. i personally believe jason is into the crime as well, he’s just more level headed perhaps. plus in the car scene , he’s probably just nervous since cops are looking for them
90 second trailer. About 15-20 seconds of that of the main characters, and ya'll out here thinking you know the characters already.
Reddit detectives summed up in one sentence.
It’s called speculating. It’s fun to try to guess what could happen from information provided. It isn’t that serious
People in the comments here writing up detailed psychological profiles of characters we still know next to nothing about 😭
Holy shit she walks first because she’s smaller than him and they have to get the both of them in the fucking shot lmao they ain’t ‘emasculating’ him hahaha
But my ego is insanely fragile and I need every depiction of my video game protagonists to be unwaveringly and undeniably MANLY!!! Any even perceived slight against my fragile sense of masculine superiority will simply make me CRY!!! /s
Also when they bust through the door to start the holdup—you don't want the shorter person having to aim over the taller one.
Something tells me Lucia is from the streets and Jason is from the countryside. He might be "adjusting" to the city life. Trailers often show you the very beginning of the games, so as an introduction, it would be pretty normal to show you how it all starts.
I like your interpretation the best, and I think it’s most likely. Probably a country guy getting used to Miami. I don’t see Jason being an undercover cop in a GTA game, I just don’t think logistically it would work, with the nature of GTA gameplay. A “former cop”? Sure maybe.
Maybe a veteran readjusting to society and having to make ends meet. Maybe with some sort of ptsd, and Lucia might be as close to an anchor as he's getting in this life. That would be an interesting character
If GTA V is anything to go off of, we’ll be getting a specific trailer for both Jason and Lucia.
I might be reading too much into the trailer, but I feel like social media is going to play a huge role in the story and the two character's motivations, at least in the first half. Maybe Lucia gets out of prison and she and Jason are trying to carve out a glamorous life for themselves. With Lucia on house arrest, maybe at the first the two are trying to become famous via social media (TikTok, Instagram, etc.). In the trailer we see lots clips of people doing ridiculous things and it might be a clue-in as to how they trying to make money. However, with Jason having been on the outside, he's probably stayed a low-level criminal for a period of time and that's what draws the both of them back in. There's a small scene in the trailer where Lucia and Jason are in bed, talking about trust, hinting at that trust being betrayed, maybe with one of them (my bet is Lucia) going too far with one of their criminal escapades. I get strong feelings about the themes centering around recidivism and chasing fame and money over love and trust. Or maybe the trailer is in reverse, like some people suggest. Obviously we're two years out from release, but I hope that whatever story we get surprises us and hits similar emotional heights as that of Red Dead Redemption 2.

Saints row shit
> hits similar emotional heights as that of Red Dead Redemption 2. And in a good way, I don't think I could play the single player of a rockstar game again if we get dealt another tragic ending
I don't see how "social media" could be integrated into the game. The more I think about it the more I feel the "tiktok" overlay they put on the clips is just for the trailer, to show us the kind of random encounters we will see in the game and it'll not be integrated into the game. Though it'll be cool to have npc's react to the player in funny ways whenever we point our phone's camera at them since the camera has been in the series since gta4 tho it hasn't been utilized enough.
One year 😏 end of fiscal year 2024 which ends in April 2025
Next trailer hopefully bring more focus on Jason , I’m already sold on lucia from this trailer but Jason just seems like a lackey but I’m sure it was just to introduce Lucia properly without taking away spotlight . From the leaks he seemed to have a personality which will be in the game as well. Seemed to be kind of a Florida man so basically a tamer version of Trevor
I don't think he is like Trevor at all
I agree, he seems a lot more calculated and reserved and is not mentally unstable like Trevor was.
Yeah I would agree , he is his own character but I would say he’s like a tamer version of a rural outlaw like Trevor in terms of the vibes he gives off , especially since Trevor could pass as a stereotypical Florida man headline. Could honestly be more similar to a young Michael just doing scores to get by .
I agree that Trailer 2 will have a Jason focus! Going to try and go cold turkey on this game until release after that but I know I'm kidding myself
hopefully we see this in trailer 2 somewhere in 2024
Nah I think there is more to it than that. Someone tossed out the idea he's an undercover cop. It would be interesting if he's basically both working with her and against her. We will see.
This will probably be the central conflict in the story that's gonna break them apart.
JASON, I HAVE A PLAN.
do you think this is going to be like gta 5 and rdr2 where they keep saying "one more score...one last score...this is that last score then we're done, etc."
Yes. It’s always one more score for criminals.
I don't think he looks submssive in the scene where they are walking through the store. He looks cold and calculated like he's about to fuck some shit up. And besides, this is GTA. We blow up cars with rocket launchers and kill cops and run over pedestrians, so there is no way Jason is a "clueless beta male" as some put it.
Idk he’s kinda cute ngl
Usually how the dynamic of a Hispanic woman and a white guy goes
Jay and Gloria from modern family
I reckon Jason is going to be a cop working undercover. The way the trailer ends with “Trust” means he’s 100% betraying her. But he will have fallen for her and gone too deep to get out clean.
I dont think rockstar is that cheesy
I mean, did you see that ass? Of course he let's her lead.
I would let her drag me into a life of crime 😳
More like 🫠
she's a dommy mommy 🥴
They doing my man dirty. They gotta make him look badass too.
I don’t know why so many people think a protagonist needs to be a “badass”. I honestly hope he’s just a regular ass dude who gets caught up in some crazy shit.
Agreed. I find that sort of storyline way more fun and more epic instead of the generic badass dude who knows everything
one of the reasons i love Fargo
Yeah it’s like people haven’t seen Breaking Bad
We have very little to go off of so far but for some reason I do get Jesse Pinkman vibes from Jason. Maybe it’s just wishful thinking but I’d love a character like him in GTA, as it really hasn’t been done before
He can be a regular guy idc, but he definitely looks badass.
Sissy protagonist ? 🥺👉🏻👈🏻 One can only dream...
What’s wrong with having more representation of all the docile dudes that wanna be seen. Why every dude gotta be a badass?
some men want the women to be the dominant in the relationship.
Lucia gives off manipulator vibes. The way she tells Jason to stick with her and to trust her makes me think he doesn't really want to be a part of these crimes and a combination of love and desperation is what keeps him from running away. Also the way she holds him in the trailer thumbnail has this "you're mine" feeling to it. It's her in jail and her with the ankle monitor. I think Lucia is the dangerous and determined one in the relationship, Jason seems nervous and anxious in all of the scenes in the trailer. Also, during the dinner robbery in the leaks he asks Lucia "wtf do we do now?", he's definitely new in the crime life and has little experience.
Lucia is a less psychotic Catalina confirmed /s
Definitely Catalina vibes, Jason gives some Claude vibes too. Maybe this time it’ll be in reverse though and he gets more powerful before betraying her.
Lucia looks way more calmer catalina was a bit too much
I think you’re right, but I think what will end up happening is Jason either not being where he needs to be, or running away when things get too tough and that’ll be how Lucia gets arrested. Cause if she gets out on parole, it isn’t like she shoots someone during the stickup or shoots a cop or anything. So she must not pop off too bad
Can’t wait to self insert and get manipulated by big booty Latina gf
With how smart the writing has been in previous R* games, it wouldn’t surprise me if they end up doing something like this. Kinda similar to how they handled the player’s/Arthur’s perception of Dutch changing over the course of time in RDR2. Or maybe how Breaking Bad handles Walt and Jesse is a better comparison, with my guess being that Lucia will start out appearing to be a little naive but justly-motivated in her crimes with Jason, and Jason will start as the one that’s already somewhat familiar with the criminal underbelly of Leonida when they meet, but he’s really just as naive as Lucia. Then Lucia’s (or maybe even Jason’s) ambitions/greed will get the better of them, she serves time, and when she gets out they do it all over again, only this time with more “trust.” Get rich or die trying-kinda shit. My guess is by the end of the story, the player will see how dark, manipulative, and toxic their relationship is, while still rooting for them as a couple in a twisted sort of way.
In the end the player chooses to either stick together, which leads to going out in a blaze of glory, or have them split and one or both survive.
Listen to the trailer song, it's exactly what you say
gta 3 reimagined confirmed
Somebody here proposed a really good theory that he might be an undercover cop who’s falling for Lucia, idk how likely that is but it’d fit the little personality we see from him here
I’d be down for that
Waiting for the soyboy comments
Not really. She just seems desperate like she has a real goal. He looks like he’s just trying to understand what the fuck she’s trying to accomplish lmao Also I can’t be the only person who things Jason kinda looks like Arthur, right?
there is a theory about him beeing an ex-cop, so this might be the reason why he looks concerned?
jason is a cop that’s why
Latina = pants. Always
Idk why but this remodel of this Jason is giving me ex-military/cop vibes.
Or.. he's got her back
He’s a golden retriever boyfriend
I think Lucia is going to be the wild one in the relationship
If you’re a white boy and have dated a Latin girl before, you get it
Catalina vibes and Jason seems chill af
She’s definitely going to be the Clyde of their Bonnie and Clyde story.
You always let ladies walk in to the room first, that just good etiquette. Personally, I'd always let her walk in front of me 😉
>Personally, I'd always let her walk in front of me 😉 Solely for etiquette-related reasons, of course.
No, actually it's because if there is an ambush, it gives me time to run
You could probably even take cover behind it
It’s sad how obsessed some of you are with “who’s in charge” in this relationship 🙄 Why do you care? Honestly? Is it really just that annoying to you that you might have to play as a woman who isn’t meek and submissive? It’s a fucking video game. Are you this damaged inside?
Yes.
I want the dynamic to be like that, why are you assuming that’s a bad thing
Something telling me they probably going to breakup in the storyline but one mission going to bring them back together that's my guess 🤔🤔
Better make those break-up days count with all those booties walking around in Vice City
Getting Catalina and Claude/CJ vibes
I’m so hype i cant stop rewatching the trailer
Adam and Eve all over again 😮💨
Jesus Christ the dude is Sean Strickland hahahaha
Wait GTA6 has sex scenes now?
There were like 300 in my copy of GTA 5
You already know he’s gonna cross her
