It’s no secret that Amanda and Michael’s relationship is pretty much hanging by a thread at the beginning of Grand Theft Auto V . The couple has had a pretty tumultuous relationship, to say the least, and the lasting effects of these events have soured their marriage almost to the point of no return. Amanda constantly engages in obvious affairs, infuriating Michael in the process as her (and his children) waste away his mo
It’s not the set pieces or spectacle that gives it a mature edge though, it’s the way the game tells a historical story about the price of liberty, national divide, and extremism in the Colonial American branch of the Assassins. These are issues that seem more relevant than ever before in a modern wo
For my money I hope that Grand Theft Auto V delivers a new character in a familiar setting because that’s what Rockstar does so well: introduce gamers to a fully fleshed out world and let them experience it through the eyes of a new and interesting character. Yes, getting to catch up with any of the characters from GTA ’s past seems like fun, but it would pale in comparison to meeting someone
The sequel definitely takes some inspiration from the GTA series. The game gives the players the tools to have fun, allowing gamers to enjoy the world, and taking satirical shots at Western society. However, there’s definitely a more cerebral way the game tackles very serious top
It’s easy to become jaded when publishers look to cash in on a single game not once, but twice. So it’s good news for all that Rockstar seems to have truly invested in making their next-gen remaster a worthy experience. It will be interesting to see how the addition of First-Person goes over with audiences – and judging by the reception, how central it may be to the next Grand Theft Auto g
„I’m not unaware of who I am as I play—Trevor’s hands are covered in scrapes and tattoos, etc.—but I feel disconnected from the characters in a way that I actually like. That disconnection makes me play the game differently—I used to take the time to customize my character’s clothes and look, but now, I don’t even c
Yes, you can place a body under your tires and start doing a burnout. Your mouth with hit the floor as you stare in horror (or fascination if you’re that kind of a person) as blood starts spraying all over the pl
Patriots bringing an old fashioned domestic terrorist group that has to butt heads with the elite of the elite? Sign me up. As long as the gameplay sees only a few refinements and that the developing team doesn’t go overboard with adding micromanagement. That’s what made the series so great in Vegas , an emphasis on shooting with an easy to manipulate team management sys
Pieced together from Rockstar-released snippets and teasers of the GTA V collector’s edition, one fan created this unofficial map of Los Santos – redesigned and bigger and better than its original debut in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas . Click thumbnail above to see full-size
„It’s not so much in the character models that the metamorphosis is incredible, but more in the environments, richer, more detailed, more dense, and more natural, which has the effect of making the ecosystem and universe of Los Santos more credible. It suffices to get lost in the hills of Vinewood or the side of Sandy Shores to see how the game has grown in stature… This is unheard of. Real
Welcome to another edition of the Game Ranter Banter . Five of our writers take a few minutes out of their busy schedules to give their opinions on some of the most compelling and controversial recent news stories of the game industry.

Think back to your first moments with Niko Bellic and his cousin Roman — sure they were annoying at first, but by game’s end you cared about them more deeply then you ever thought possible. Now wouldn’t you want to experience that ag
Our readers are as knowledgeable and opinionated as our own writers, so here is the place for all of you to discuss these stories as well as any others that may have piqued your interest throughout the w
They’ve intentionally deceived fans who have already given them their $7 for the content, and that’s not okay. This move is a giant middle finger to those who trusted Epic Games, and even though free maps are great, it instantly diminishes the value that was originally placed on the Season Pass and Horde Command P
„Aside from a few mild frame rate issues that sometimes take the edge off its more dramatic moments, this is the definitive version of GTA V, and the bar by which all other open-world games, or indeed any city-first game design that aims for a cinematic feel, should be judged. It is beautiful, and thought-provoking, and thrilling throughout. Even if you’ve played through GTA V once already, it’s worth going back just to be reminded of what an outstanding achievement it
