Rockstar Games, along with its parent company Take-Two, has launched a lawsuit against the BBC in a bid to prevent the broadcaster from airing an upcoming drama based on the real-life story on the development of Grand Theft Auto games.
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.
How incredibly ironic.
I was under the impression that it was a licensed deal the entire time. That's a dumb move on BBC's part.
See I see it both ways.
I get that if T-T didn't exactly agree to it, then it shouldn't have been made.
Having said that, even if it is on BBC Two (which has little to no viewers tbh anyway here in the UK), it still MIGHT of even made T-T some more sales. Sure, they have enough as it is with 52 Million GTA5 sales, but what's a little more?
I'm surprised they care. It's GTA. They already get enough bad publicity wit each release. Plus any publicity is good publicity. It is true. I'm not in the know but it's GTA. I really don't think much can hurt the brand at this point.
Well, this time at least it's not Lindsay Lohan or some random person in LA suing them because some AI looked vaguely like them. This time Rockstar's taking on the big boys. Oh boy, let the fight begin. I'm getting the popcorn.
