When Rockstar Games unveiled three new character trailers for the next installment in their critically acclaimed GTA series earlier this week, the gaming world went into a frenzy with uncontrollable bouts of excitement. Despite the fact that these videos were originally billed as being gameplay trailers, many fans and critics alike were both quick to forgive this notion and instead became enamored by the cinematic cutscenes detailing each protagonist.
The GTA 5 Agent Trevor DLC episode could have been a real treat for fans on PlayStation and Xbox, before it was scrubbed sometime before 2017.
With the amount of money they generated, I just don’t understand the scrubbing of this. It would’ve been fantastic for fans.
I really want to know who drove the decision to focus on multiplayer was it Rockstar or take two.
Because when online started taking off many of the studio leads began having falling outs and leading including a founder
One of the reason I believe once gta 6 release, most of us thoroughly play it, enjoy the world they crafted then after that no offline support, no dlc at all
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.
I personally don't think having a female protagonist in GTA is a bad thing. I'm curious to see what you all think.
This is a really interesting article. The author is good.
The author makes fair points and, personally, I would have no problem with a female main character.
On the other hand though, I feel like if they DID make a female main character, then hordes of dumbasses would degrade the character by focusing on whether she's hot or not. Unfortunately, considering the game's general audience, this isn't exactly unlikely :P
Didn't I read somewhere that male gamers have an aversion to playing female leads. I think it was Capcom talking about the up and coming game Remember Me.
I think the same observation was made during the release of the new Tomb Raider.
What was stated was that female leads tend to do poorly in sales and therefore not a real viable choice. The devs have to go through hoops trying to get the publishers to buy into the concept.
Taking the subject matter and the kind of things you can do in GTA, I don't really think male gamers are ready to pluck down cash to do some of the seedier things in GTA.
For goofs and laughs its cool to play a female character in a game like Saints Row, but I'm not entirely sure this would float.
Maybe as one of many characters?
They have a leading role. You can sex them up and punch street hookers or drive over them.
I hope you can get them to make a sandwich as well.
