By Tom Cotterill and Kitty Lawton. Millions of gamers were sent into a frenzy today as they caught their first glimpse of Grand Theft Auto 6 - with the hotly-anticipated blockbuster game appearing to feature cameos from some real-life infamous characters.
The trailer for the latest installment of the outrageous, critically acclaimed, crime shooter - famed for its debauched gameplay and unfettered violence - was released by Rockstar Games ahead of its release.
The franchise - celebrated for its tongue-in-cheek take on real-life characters - also appears to mock a number of real larger-than-life characters the second teaser of the latest game in the series. In one scene, fans are shown a foul-mouthed woman in a pink night dress brandishing two hammers - who bears a striking similarity to a woman who went viral in Los Angeles in , dubbed ' LA Susan '.
GTA VI appears to poke fun at the woman, with their hammer-wielding character snarling 'well looks who's back', with the caption 'Neighbourhood watch don't play around in Hamlet' - in a nod to LA Susan's vitriolic outburst.
There even appears to be a GTA-style take on a notorious Florida man dubbed the 'Joker' for his series of facial tattoos resembling the iconic Batman villain - played by the late Heath Ledger and more recently by Napoleon star, Joaquin Phoenix. GTA VI's 'Joker' is pictured briefly during the game's trailer, appearing in a court wearing orange prison fatigues and bares a striking resemblance to Miami criminal Lawrence Sullivan. He went viral when he was caught in Pinellas County after a warrant was issued in Miami-Dade County for a concealed-carry firearms offence.
