Grand Theft Auto V was always destined to make a ton of cash being one of, if not the biggest franchise in all of gaming. It was certainly going to need to after becoming the most expensive video game ever produced. Bloomberg had predicted that the franchise would make a billion within its first month, which seems to be a somewhat misjudged prediction now. Mostly because, after becoming one of the highest rated games of all-time , it should reach the billion mark point in just its first two d
Player customization isn't a huge focus in GTA V . Those hoping for a return of the customization found in San Andreas may be disappointed, as GTA V will not feature the ability to change the physical features of the main characters but players will still be able to choose from several clothing types.
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
Grand Theft Auto V will continue to sell like hot cakes and it will be very interesting to see just how large the gross number becomes over the course of the next week, hopefully with a solid number on units sold surfacing. While it is utterly futile to compare a game and a movie, it would be fascinating to see just how it compared to some of the biggest ever movie releases, especially as the series won't be transitioning to the big screen its
According to IGN , Rockstar Games parent company Take-Two Interactive revealed that GTA V made $800 million dollars in its first day of trading, to which they are quite understandably "thrilled" with. The company revealed that the game became "the highest first day retail sales of any title in the history of the company and the Grand Theft Auto series." For a company that has the entire back catalog of GTA , as well as games like Red Dead Redemption , that is no small feat. But that statement might still be selling this success sh
The first question the actors were asked was how there first got involved with the game and their feelings on it. Fonteno felt that "it was an honor to be here" and Ogg reportedly said, upon seeing the script, that "ain't nobody else doing it." Luke elaborated on the experience itself as being "really intense and very physical." Apparently the actors auditioning for the role took it very seriously, which is a great th
Spotted by forum member 'Metalmarc' over on NeoGAF , a listing for the game — as taken from Czech retail website SuperGamer.cz reveals a GTA 5 title available for PC, PS4 and Xbox One formats. Also included in the product's description is the tentative release date of June 13, 2
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
For example, CVG reports that the game smashed retail records in the UK, quickly becoming the biggest video game launch ever seen. The game sold 1.57 million units for a total of around $104 million in Britain, plowing through the previous record set by Call of Duty: Black Ops which sold around 1.41 million units on its launch day. To put that in perspective, the UK has a population of around 63 million, meaning that more then 1 in 60 people in the entire country own a copy. That is a lot after just one day on the mar
With regards to what's next for GTA V and GTA Online , Sarwar stated that the goal now is to release the heists and see what people think of them. If there's one thing the GTA community won't fall behind one, it's letting Rockstar hear their opinions. So expect those heists to be blown wide open when they debut next year, and patched/balanced shortly afterwa
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
It baffles me as to why Rockstar would even consider a first-person mode for GTA 5 news|https://gta5play.com/ 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.
