Rockstar Games is one of the most recognized studios in the gaming industry, and for good reason. Throughout the years, Rockstar has continued to push the limits of video games, both in terms of technical advancements and controversial content, and has always managed to break new ground in storytelling and realism. The studio’s most recent success is Max Payne 3, which released to critical acclaim and has sold very well commercially.

I've never played a GTA game but I can feel its effects across the industry.
And I am happy that a franchise like it is around.
Een if it has some bad games, in its future, it is always good to have games like this that push gaming content toward Cinematic maturity.
Maturity that goes beyond Boobies, Fart jokes, and Blood.
I'm one of those that didn't like GTA IV's more serious tone, but the game is definitely still relevant.
Show up in Vice City with Vercetti in charge and have to take out what he built up. It would be awesome, love the time era ... music, clothes, cheesy hair and jewelry, and cars. The 80's are just an awesome decade to prtray.
Oh, and add create a character already! Still, GTA is awesome, I'm glad they don't release annual games and ruin their production with over saturation.
would say San Andreas was the best in the series. I guess thats why everyone loved Ballad of Gay Tony.
I didn't play any of the previous 3D GTA's from the previous gen, so I only judged the game on what it was now and what I saw and played.
But to me, I loved the characters, I loved the story, the dialog, I loved the gameplay, and I love how the game made me feel like I was in New York. From the billboards, the radio ads, TV shows, to the way the pedestrians act and respond......No other game this generation has had that kind of attention to detail with modern day urban large scale city representation. The city felt like it was alive.
And then the online was kick butt too (GTA RACE was freakin awesome).
I can't wait for GTA5, and I hope they give me more of the same....but bigger and more of it.
--my take
Played them all and GTA4 got so much unnecessary hate it was laughable. But most of the people whining literaly admitted to playing a small fraction of the game.
Then the DLC still ranks about many games out there now.
GTA 5 is going to stop the gaming world to a screeching halt..I'd say that's relavant.
Evil
Yeah, I think its safe to assume the name Grand Theft Auto is relevant
Do Hookers still exist?
As long as we have Guns Drugs and Hookers GTA will be relevant.
Can't wait for GTAV........and the new batch of Hookers!
-Ever time a story pops up about anything to do with GTA it's in the top stories in about two minutes... (seems to be pretty relevant if you ask me)

Yes, yes it is.
Also, look at the modding community...other than DayZ the only other game with mainstream mod recognition is GTA IV. Who in the core community hasn't had a whiff of iCEnhancer yet? Everyone knows about it now and it's become the new Crysis for benchmark standards in video game photorealism.
More than anything, GTA has proven to be more relevant than all those other cookie-cutter games media shoves down our throat to pretend to be relevant (I guarantee you, five years from now GTA IV and GTA V will still have a strong modding community but Black Ops 2 won't even be discussed on most forums).
Was not impressed with GTA4. My main complaint is the game was TOO big. It was easy to get sidetracked and the sidetracking became boring which in turn made the game boring.
I will give GTA5 a shot but it will be Gameflied!
GTA V seems to be bringing back some map variety from what we've seen in the trailer.
Reading over my comment it was painfully obvious that I was specifically talking about GTA not Skyrim, not Oblivion and not Fallout.
GTA had too many boring sidetrack missions.
Sorry if i wasnt clear enough.
To me Red Dead Redemption is the real GTA of this gen and is the game that GTA 5 needs to beat in order to be relevant to me.
There is alot riding on GTA 5. It can't just be a re skin of GTA 4. This a new numbered version in the series so it has to be leaps and bounds better than 4 and absolutely cannot be just a minor improvment like the GTA3 games series. I hope Rockstar knows the severity of the situation and knows what they are doing.

GTA V is my most highly anticipated game.
The missions get very tiresome and frankly, it's often times more fun to just play sandbox and do mayhem on your own. There's only so far you can go with the idea.
The new games only change location and a few vehicles. There's really nothing innovative or groundbreaking about it anymore.
When I first played Vice City I thought it was the greatest thing. Now I can't get excited about it.
Duh, yes it's relevant. It's more relevant than your question.
If one were to rephrase it "would GTA V as a PS3 exclusive be a big deal?" The answer would be the same, but the article would have been dismissed as drivel.
It will release and sell 20 million, prob get near perfect scores and people will enjoy it so no its releavant for everyone else lol.
YES
Hated that the series went from gangsta "this is my block, that's yours" to like underground mafia type stuff.
GTA V will blow people away.
