Ned Who, never heard of that nobody

He's the Cheerio guy.

Literally he was in a Cheerio’s commercial.

If he's the protagonist then he's going to be awesome to play as. I've said this before, but I find older protagonists more interesting as they're usually a lot wiser and less likely to be someone's whipping boy (aka CJ). I get a lot of Tommy's vibe about him and everyone knows Tommy was ruthless with his decision making and refused to be a bitch. He seems like a leader and someone with ambition.

This I like!

i think he should be like victor vance he was badass

Why so many of you guys hate Ned Luke for being "an old fart"? He's not that old really. I think he's just a bit older than Max Payne. And nobody seems to dislike Max for his age. I think he might be a very great character.

just want a young dude, don't know why people would be ok with an old dude when they can have a young dude like tommy. and niko wasn't old so i dont know why people keep saying he's old

Honestly, it sort of reminds when you get the message on GTA SA about being too fat and at risk of 'having a heart attack'. People want realism, well the truth is Ned Luke* doesn't look like it he's in shape, which would either A) Take away from gameplay elements like running and jumping B) Be unrealistic by having him capable of these things despite not being REAL. If the old guy is a protagonist, I'm hoping for multi-protagonists. *I'm refering to Ned Luke the Character in the trailer, not Ned Luke the actor.

I'm not fussed about his physical attributes. Johnny would have to be the most unfit protagonist to date with his limp yet it didnt't affect TLAD and he could still run and jump things to a degree.

As long as he (Ned Luke) can point, aim and shoot and move around in the heat of battle that's all I want. He doesn't need to be an olympic track star IMO.

Well, John Marston was about 38 - 40, No one complained about him being too old, Although it may not matter that much.

Plus, Take a look at this. This is a group of bankrobbers in Sweden, An infamous bunch known as "Gubbligan" (Litteraly "The old man gang"), They are between 52 and 72 years old:

Pretty much speaks for itself.

Jim from TLAD was 45.

Just sayin'.

[John The Grudge]

No problem with the age at all. Some of my favorite actors working today are relatively old. I'm not that familiar with his work thought. People's assumption that he's playing the protagonist is mildly irritating to me as there's no evidence to support it.

I'm sure he's talented though so I have nothing against the idea of him doing the voice.

[deathdiggerswe]

A middleaged protag would add some realism to the franchise, since i didn't found CJs success trustworthy (because of his age).

Btw, Niko wasn't that extremely young either, probably in the mid 30's, towards 40.

The look of this Ned Luke guy just does not appeal to me. I just dont wanna play as a 40 - 50 year old in GTA V, even more so that it is set in a sunny, Los Angeles-based location. The apparent plot concept of a washed out, middle-aged, old-time gangster who wants to retire in the sun, gets caught up again in a life of crime - that scenario just makes me wanna yawn.

I wanna see a much younger protagonist (24-29 yrs old), that is full of fresh ambition and enthusiasm for a successful career as a freelance criminal-turned-gangster. The fact that he is younger and more inexperienced makes the storyline even more exciting and interesting, as we able to play a part and immerse ourselves more in his character development when his criminal status improves as we progress further through the game's storyline. A younger protagonist also has a much wider variation of believable criminal connections, and being set in Los Santos, we should be seeing street gangs. It is more plausible for a younger guy to have connections with the streets and gangs, and still have dealings with drug cartels and mafias. A 50-40 yrs old middle-aged man consorting with street gangs just would not make sense to me, even though I know it can happen in real life, it's just not a likely scenario. A younger protagonist just offers much more better options, ideas and possibilities for a GTA game like GTA V.

I'm in that age bracket (26) and I'm not so sure. I mean Niko was 30, but his personality made him feel much older. I guess that's all that comes down to it though.

I wouldn't want to play as some young punk who thinks his own sh*t doesn't stink, but someone with inteligence. Maybe he's a failed college student who had the brains to succeed in a legitimate life, but turned to crime instead?

I know this is hard for most foreigners to understand as only Aussies would really know, but a couple of years ago there was a show called UnderBelly: The Golden Mile and the main protagonist was a young Lebanese man named John Ibriham. It was based on a true story and he was involved in Sydney's King's Cross drug trade in the late 1980s and bought into a share of a nightclub.

He was only in his late teens/early 20s too and quite smart. So I guess a young protagonist could work, but I don't want someone like CJ again. CJ was good in the way he was more human, but his youth radiated at certain times. I'd still rather an older protagonist as I believe their wisdom makes them feel less like running dogs, but a smart young guy could work.

I mean lets face it CJ had no choice, but run to the top. I doubt he would've done it if he didn't have his nuts caught in a vice. This young protagonist should have the ambition to succeed like a younger version of Tommy.

Not impossible. Luis was as boring as watching paint dry. Besides Niko was an amazing protagonist. Boring? Subjective. Niko was anything, but that.
