Quack Quack!
What's up everyone? I've been watching and analysing the leaked GTA V .bik (video) files for a few hours now and I've found some interesting stuff.
Here's my findings, take them with a pinch of salt, it's all my opinion, none of it is "confirmed" information. This may include spoilers, so STOP now if you don't want to know anything else about the game.
Michael & Tracey De Santa
The protagonist Michael is called Michael De Santa, his job role is an associate producer for Richard Majestic, a film/video production company working on a Movie/TV series called "Meltdown" - Michael may still hold other job roles and responsibilities, and as we already know, he teams up with Franklin and Trevor to participate in criminal activity.
Michael's Daughter, Tracey De Santa, is a contestant on Fame & Shame, a talent contest hosted by Lazlow (Lazlow is a radio host on other GTA games) at Vinewood Bowl, Vinewood. Tracey wrote a song called "Daddy Issues" which relates to her relationship with her Dad, Michael (as you've all seen the official trailers, they don't have a strong relationship). Maybe her Dad is trying to push her into the movie/tv industry? Tracey doesn't win the talent contest and Lazlow shares some intimate details about his relationship with Tracey.
Liberty City, Zombies & Aliens
GTA V hasn't seen the end of Liberty City, it's seen on the in-game movie "Meltdown" and on an Ammunation Advert, which also shows a Zombie Attack/Alien Invasion in Liberty City. Will we get to go back to Liberty City? I don't know, but Liberty City is still a factor in GTA V - maybe it's planned for future DLC or just used for in-game TV content, we'll need to wait and see.
Speaking of DLC (Downloadable Content), one of the Game Tip Videos states "Buy more DLC, It makes you a better marksman" - another video showed off a "Swine Hoard" mode where you shoot hundres of piglets (infected piglets maybe?)
Street Gangs
The Ballas, The Vagos are just two of the RETURNING street gangs on GTA V, but we also see a new gang arrive in Los Santos; The Lost MC (The bike gang from The Lost & Damned on GTA IV). These gangs are featured on a TV Documentary Series called "The Underbelly of Paradise", which is presented by FIB Agent, Steven Haines.
The Vagos are the largest Mexican street gang in Los Santos, with connections to several Mafia groups, they can be identified wearing green clothing, which represents the baseball club, Los Santos Corkers.
The Ballas are another Los Santos Street Gang and can be identified wearing purple clothing, which represents their love for the sports team; Los Santos Panic.
Life Invader
Jay Norris, Founder & CEO of Life Invader is killed by a mobile phone/life invader device explosion, during what seems like a seminar for university students (just an assumption).
Stunt School
You can become a stunt double - completing stunt ramps, jumping from a building on fire, being shot and getting run over are just a few of the crazy stunts you can try to become famous - you can learn how to be a stunt professional at Cunning Stunt Academy.
Leonora Johnson
Leonora Johnson was a Vinewood "Starlet", found murdered on January 17th 1975 with a star imprinted on her back. The star obviously refers to the Vinewood Walk of Fame, which replicates the real life Hollywood Walk of Fame. You're not the only person trying to clue together her death, but you will earn an achievement for unravelling the case - so, who killed Leonora Johnson?
I'm still updating this thread, please note that all of this was written by me, please do not post elsewhere without a mention of where you obtain it. Thank you to XBLToothPik for the video files.
