IGN: Three playable characters, the biggest GTA world ever, and an insane helicopter heist -- we've got all the details here.
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.
The world is as big as RDR+GTASA+GTA4 (that dwarfs Skyrim) and is fully explorable from the outset... That means there is no room for disc swapping. Either they've found a new compression technique or their will be compulsory installs on the 360. I hope they go with the latter and I also hope (if that is the case) that they offer a full install for the PS3 version too. Not that it would need it, because the Blu-ray would be big enough, but perhaps it might iron out any potential performance problems
GTA5 is sounding absolutely fantastic.
After being run over by the hype train for GTA4, i really had my doubts, but they are making all the right noises and appear to have taken on board that the vast majority of fans preferred a more San Andreas game than a super realistic and gritty one.
If everything they are saying about the huge scale, the brighter more inviting tone over smoggy streets and a genuine innovation with multiple character swapping on the fly implemented well... damn this game could genuinely blow us all away.
This one is looking as though it may actually deserve the 9's and 10's that GTA4 got.
Should this one live up to expectation... shut up and take my money R*!
