Rockstar Collection Grand Theft Auto V Release

Until GTA V releases, our best look at the new first-person mode will come from the new trailer showing it off. Needless to say (but here goes) it's very impressive. Has this new feature made the game a guaranteed purchase for some of you? How about heists in first-per


The upcoming PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Grand Theft Auto V won't just include new content for new and returning players to dig into. While that, combined with the improved visuals and bigger multiplayer were probably enough to entice many to make the return trip, Rockstar has implemented an entirely new feature for the upcoming version, which is sure to push people over the edge into "well, I guess I really need to get this again" territ


All those animations are new when you switch to first-person, because it all has to be animated to the camera, to make it feel like a proper first-person experience that I think people would expect. All the timings have to be re-evaluat


In other Grand Theft Auto V news, 10 new screenshots have been released online, (credit: NeoGaf user Sn4ke_911 ) showcasing the game's protagonists as they undertake assorted gangland tasks. One unusual screenshot appears to hint at the possibility of an underwater co-op level, with Trevor piloting a deep-sea one-man submarine in pursuit of either Michael or Franklin. Could gamers be in for a modern day take on a sunken-treasure qu


Described as providing "ambient character" work, these recordings are likely to end up being utilized as part of the game's background chatter; the general buzz of the city surrounding protagonists Michael, Trevor & Franklin. Of course, Grand Theft Auto V isn't the first criminal epic to employ cons, both active and otherwise. HBO's The Wire assigned many key roles to former hoodlums, creating a sense of realism often lost on similar 'police procedurals.' Rockstar is likely hoping to echo the success of that world h


Prepare to wave goodbye to your social life (and workplace attendance figures); **GTA V ** is very nearly upon us. The latest entry in the award-winning criminal sim franchise, the series' fifth core installment arrives later this month to cap off the 7th gen of consoles in st


In keeping with the series' increasingly gritty and dramatic tone, as well as its general move away from more star powered cameos, (think Samuel L. Jackson, Burt Reynolds, James Woods, Bill Hader, Axel Rose appearing in previous outings) 'Lazlow' went on to critize the use of professionals for these kinds of minor roles, stat


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 5 secrets|https://gta5play.com/ , as well as games like Red Dead Redemption , that is no small feat. But that statement might still be selling this success sh


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 IV's DLC compilation of The Lost and the Damned and The Ballad of Gay Ton

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.

Hatred saw the effects of this much more than GTA V. Being pulled from Steam Greenlight can be a death sentence to indie game developers, as Steam is essentially the only game in town for newcomers. Fortunately for them, Gabe Newell decided that this wasn't a good decision . Without extrapolating his reasoning, it's nice to see someone in the gaming industry care about whether a developer has an honest shot and releasing their creation, regardless of how tasteless the content may be.

Tweets about Hatred are much more skewed, and conversation about GTA V, much discussed in the video game press, seems to paint a two-sided issues. Defense of Target's decision as not censorship and a positive step toward equality were just as rampant, if not more so, than concerns over the kind of precedent their move set. Consider this, if it's not censorship for Target to pull the game, what if all retailers pulled the game? It's well within their rights, but it would achieve the exact same effect as a blatant censorship did. Thus, a de facto censorship - a universal lack of availability that's not necessarily enforced by law.
