Would the addition of a new perspective actually change how you play Grand Theft Auto V or is it just a gimmick? According to IGN who previewed the new mode, it's a change that not only offers a new way to play, but a new way to see and interactive with every part of the world. Take a simple walk down the sidewalk, and you may now notice the subtle reactions the NPC make as you walk by. Supposedly, little details like characters glancing at you have always been in the game, but it becomes far more noticeable in first-person m
On Steam, recent user reviews indicate an "overwhelmingly Negative" ranking for the game, as well as "mixed" reviews overall. Only 14 % of the 35,960 user reviews in the past 30 days have been posit
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
Minecraft is no stranger to user-made modifications, and plenty of horror-based modifications already exist for the recently-acquired property . However, one game modification which wasn't intended to be scary in any way ended up outdoing them all, and we're not ashamed to say we may have fallen out of a chair when we first heard this mod. When one man set out on a quest to make the Minecraft creepers sound like the character Lemon Grab from Adventure Time , he unknowingly created a noise that would make even Herobrine think twice about ever stepping foot outside in the dark ag
The big movie news cannot be ignored: Sony decided it will not go forward with it's plans to release The Interview, a Seth Rogen film about a plot to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un. Sony was hacked and received threats, while the number of respectable movie chains who would take the film was dwindling. All at once, the internet (save for a few rogue supporters) cried out about free speech, bowing to terrorist demands and all-around support for Rogen and his now-canceled film. The equally troubling news is that no one cares when this happens to a video game.
The video game industry has been embroiled in this sort of controversy for the past few weeks leading up to the news about The Interview. In two separate events, the gaming community (and even some outside the gaming community) have shown a willingness to accept and often times support acts comparable to Sony's just as often as it condemns them. The first happened when Target and Kmart stores in Australia decided they would not carry Grand Theft Auto V due to its depictions of violence against women . Then days ago, Hatred, the game that may yet actually morph into a scolding-hot button, was pulled from Steam Greenlight .
When both of these incidents took place, there was controversy. Debate ensued with two sides each offering up different points and demanding equal validity. But Sony has been met with almost universal admonishment after pulling The Interview. A quick search of The Interview mentions on Twitter reveals a starkly one-sided picture. A tweet by Judd Apatow (long-time associate of Rogen's) calling the move by Sony "disgraceful" was retweeted more than GTA 5 weapons|https://gta5play.com/ thousand times in 11 hours.
"It was a hard decision, but when any modding activity has been declared illegal, we can't see any possibilities to continue this process, unless top management of Take-Two company makes an official statement about modding, which can be used in cou
Making sure the three protagonists continue to feel unique was another point of concern for Rockstar. In third-person, where you're looking down at them, you can clearly see who you're playing as and what's going on around them but that's not as easy to replicate in first-person. So the studio adjusted the animations to fit the new mode: Franklin, Michael and Trevor all have their own idle animations (and probably different hand models), and if a character is speaking to you when you look over at them, you'll see they're looking back at you, making eye-cont
Grand Theft Auto has long been a series that allowed users to express their creativity in the form of mods for the series's single-player mode. Recently, the author of the popular modding tool OpenIV received a cease and desist letter from publisher Take-Two Interactive. The creators of other modding tools, such as " Menyoo " and " Force Hax, " have received similar letters, however these modding tools were being used specifically to influence Grand Theft Auto V 's multiplayer mode. In response to the modding purge, fans of OpenIV have taken to Steam , Google , and Change.org to voice their frustrat
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
