More information on Grand Theft Auto 5 has been revealed, courtesy of this week's issue of Shortlist.
According to the magazine, GTA 5's protagonist is an "East Coast gangster" who has moved to Los Santos "for a fresh start".
"But, as in The Godfather Part III," the magazine continues, "just as he thought he was out, they pulled him back in."
Grand Theft Auto V was released on PC on the 14th of April 2015. That means the game will be nine years old in four days, and it’s still among the most-played titles on Steam. With a 24-hour peak of 145K players, it’s as popular as Baldur’s Gate 3, Apex: Legends, and Destiny 2.
The freedom to explore large areas, approach objectives in multiple ways, and stumble across amusing distractions will always be an excellent format for video games, but some do it better than others. To celebrate the formula and parse the best from the best, have a look at the best open-world games of all time so far.
Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA 5 are both classics, but movement and general interaction sometimes feels like you're possessed by a fridge.
Rockstar need to learn that 12 years of work and 5000 employees doesn’t account for one persons opinion on the internet…
Oh and hundreds of millions of dollars in revanue to boot.
Lots of complaints about gta ever since the hd era started and yet it's bugger than its ever been with gta vi up to 180 million trailer views alone. The next game is shaping it be be another genre defining game
The controls of RDR2 felt a but cluncky indeed, but it’s not as bad as some make it out to be. At no point did I get the feeling my experience with the game was held back or ruined by the controls.
But it can never hurt to optimize them a bit, sure.
I did accidentally beat someone to death a couple times. An unfortunate mistake but besides that I didn't have any problems with the controlls
Red Dead Redemption felt clunky at first but I got used to it fairly quick. I thought 2 was easier to control but it could be my experience with the first game helped me out. Great games
I wouldn't call Rockstar games characters clunky instead they feel like they move with Weight they are not twitch controls press x to instantly snap onto cover the characters instead move like a actor would ducking behind cover they are exposed while they get there.
Sounds cool...
Honestly, I'd rather have the old guy than this guy. If it's true.
Cant wait to play this
I thought it was an average family man that turned to crime because of the recession?
This is what the sourced article says:
"The rumour of multiple playable characters remains unconfirmed. The voiceover is delivered by one person, a presumably middle-aged man (possibly pictured bottom left) talking about moving to the West Coast to escape a life of crime. Although there’s little doubt that, just like Michael Corleone, he gets pulled back in. But unlike most GTA trailers, there isn’t one clear protagonist."
What the article says:
"But, as in The Godfather Part III," the magazine continues, "just as he thought he was out, they pulled him back in."
Misquoted.
BTW, the article on ShortList is old and covers the original debut trailer. We already know about what happened in that trailer. Why is this article reporting it now, and why are we talking about something we've known for a year?
At the bottom of the source article is says:
"GTA V will be released in 2012"
It appears David Scammell didn't get the memo.
