Trevor's actor was also asked how he felt about the infamous torture scene, in which he replied that since "it was one of the most technical scenes [in the game] so I didn't feel much about it." He had to concentrate so intensely on pulling off the difficult scene that he had no time to feel outraged, upset or really any other emot

While the odds of a next-gen console release remain relatively slim it's important to note that the move does make sense from a business perspective. Given the time taken to produce an expected PC port, Rockstar could certainly afford to put together a PS4/Xbox One upgrade at the same time. Indeed, the recent success of Crystal Dynamic's Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition demonstrates the viability of such a move — a minimum of fuss for a maximum of pro

"You have to change pretty much everything. I mean, if you want to do it right. We have a very solid third-person animation system, but you don’t just put the camera down there and expect to see the guns, aim, and sh

The Grand Theft Auto V panel at NYCC was a gathering of passionate fans and the amazing motion capture actors: Ned Luke who plays Michael, Shawn "Solo" Fonteno who plays Franklin and Steven Ogg who plays Trevor. The panel naturally began with a bang, as Ogg threw T-shirts into the audience, riling them up for handouts and autographs for a good several minu

Surprisingly, the date only lasted long enough to grab headlines, as its original listing on the Gamestop UK storefront has now been supplanted with a TBC (To Be Confirmed). March 1 is a safe bet, though, considering the game's unbreaking silence heading into this Fall. Sure, low-key seems to be Rockstar's traditional modus operandi ; but a smattering of GTA V screenshots this August following an announcement trailer last November doesn't quite fit the billing for "Holiday 20

From open-world crime operas to open-range spaghetti westerns, from substance abusing detectives to detectives who draw a self-righteous line at adultery, Rockstar Games's reputation precedes it. Where most game companies would be content with one triple-A franchise, Rockstar has cultivated several over its 14-year history - Grand Theft Auto , Red Dead Redemption , Max Payne , and L.A. Noire among the present, and Agent waiting patiently for the c

As sterling as the contents of the collection may be, however (we're already anxious to see Edition 2 ), there's no confusing Rockstar's real focus for the rest of 2012 and into 2013: Grand Theft Auto V . As one retailer listed the Rockstar Collection, another, GameStop , saw fit to list its release date as March 1, 2

Offering four games in one box on what has to several discs, Rockstar Games Collection: Edition 1 has been announced for the cost of $59.99 - the orthodox price point for one game. Bundled into the package is L.A. Noire (2010); Red Dead Redemption (2009); Midnight Club: Los Angeles - Complete Edition (the tricked-out version of 2008's MC:LA ); and Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City ( gta 5 Strategy|https://gta5play.com/ IV's DLC compilation of The Lost and the Damned and The Ballad of Gay Ton

Next up, the actors were asked about the nature of their relationship with the group of workers. It seems that Fonteno thinks highly of his fellow colleagues, as he warmly said that Luke is like "a brother from another mother" and Ogg is the "father he never had," although initially it was weird at first, for him, because they both had "different colored sk

A year on from the game's initial release on PS3 and Xbox 360, GTA V has yet to get its first piece of single player story DLC. However Shawn Fonteno (the voice actor for main character Franklin) has now confirmed that more GTA V DLC is in the wo

According to Rockstar Games (the publisher and developer of the Grand Theft Auto franchise), the size of Grand Theft Auto V 's map is bigger than Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas , Grand Theft Auto IV and Red Dead Redemption 's maps combined. But the picturesque Los Santos setting isn't all palm trees, mountains and the occasional flurry of snow ; GTA V is filled with a wealth of things to

Aside from BioShock Infinite , we know Rockstar parent company Take-Two Interactive is looking for major revenue booster in 2013, and with Game Informer teasing Grand Theft Auto V as their December cover just hours ago, it might not be long before a return to Los Santos finds its way onto corporate and consumer calendars al

It baffles me as to why Rockstar would even consider a first-person mode for GTA V. Perhaps it was the success of open-world shooters like Far Cry 3 that inspired them to do this, which is understandable. However, Far Cry 3 is a shooter. It’s built as a shooter and the shooting is a huge part of the game’s appeal. Sure, there’s exploration, but the action is Far Cry’s appeal by far. Grand Theft Auto V, for all its gritty action and violence, is not a shooter. Its action comes from something less primal and more intelligent. If anything, this first-person shooter setup does more to pander to the FPS crowd than to thoughtfully expand on what Grand Theft Auto has always been about.
