"These screens are from the current generation of consoles," Rockstar said.

Each of GTAV's three protagonists show up in the screenshots: Franklin is shown causing trouble with a minigun, Trevor is seen escaping pursuers on a motorcycle, and Michael can be found standing in front of a car.

Other shots show the game's setting of Los Santos from various angles, including underwater. There's also shot of the Santa Maria pier with a building in the background being struck by lightning.
