By now, just about everyone who follows gaming has heard about "Grand Theft Auto V" being delayed until September of this year, but this does not bode well for the Rockstar title.
Regardless of how invincible you think this game is, delaying "Grand Theft Auto V" until this coming September is a move that will ultimately injure the game's overall performance.
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.
Former Rockstar Games Technical Director Obbe Vermeij has finally revealed why some planes would randomly crash in GTA: San Andreas.
This fly by feature was on the cutting room floor due to the random plane crashes and it's one of those things I'm so thankful made it into the final version as these random fly by and crashes make the world seem more alive on the extremely limited PS2 hardware you needed everything you could possibly get in a open world to convey that feeling.
And accross hundreds of hours of gameplay I probably died around 3 times as a result of these fly by failures but I loved every time it happened
It made the world feel more human, and honestly kinda insane that even today with all these open world games, almost no one can capture that like R* even when compared to their ps2 games
Lol, I remember those. I vaguely remember dying from one crashing into my car once too.
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.
I see it like this.
The nex gen is nearly upon us but there is one last chance to release some bug guns before we say goodbye to this gen.
Last of us
GOW: Ascension and Judgment
GTA 5
We're going out with a bang.
I say it's going to be the other way around. Whilst hardcore gamers on sites like N4G may invest in new hardware site unseen the general public(those who make games like COD and GTA 20 million copies sellers) are motivated by games.
When the public see GTA5, COD, Madden and Fifa coming out on the current generation they're going to ask themselves "What's the point in buying a new system right now?". It affected the Wii U and PS4 and 720 being a lot more powerful won't magically make them immune to this affect.
Just look how well the PS2 was doing when the 360 launched or even a year later when the PS3 and Wii launched. The biggest competition next gen will have early in their lives is this gen.
Nothing can "squash" GTAV. Don't be silly. :)
Well i wont be buying gta 5 as much as i want it but saving for next gen, watch dogs will cover my open world needs when i get my new console, might get gta 5 in a steam sale instead of for my ps3 though
A console's best games often come out at the end of its lifetime, while launch titles for a new console are usually little more than glorified tech demos for a system that no one knows quite what to do with.
