Grand Theft Auto V "GTA 5"
Grand TheftAuto V is an open-world, action-adventure video game developed by Rockstar
North and published by Rockstar Games. It was released on 17 September 2013 for
the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, on 18 November 2014 for the PlayStation 4 and
Xbox One, and on 14 April 2015 for Microsoft Windows. The game is the first
main entry in the Grand Theft Auto series since 2008's Grand Theft Auto IV. Set
within the fictional state of San Andreas (based on Southern California), the
single-player story follows three criminals and their efforts to commit heists
while under pressure from a government agency. The open world design lets
players freely roam San Andreas, which includes open countryside and the
fictional city of Los Santos (based on Los Angeles).
The game is
played from either a third-person or first-person view and its world is
navigated on foot or by vehicle. Players control the three lead protagonists
throughout the single-player mode, switching between them both during and
outside of missions. The story is centred on the heist sequences, and many of
the missions involve shooting and driving gameplay. Players who commit crimes
may incite a response from law enforcement agencies, measured by a
"wanted" system that governs the aggression of their response. GrandTheft Auto Online, the online multiplayer mode, lets up to 30 players explore
the open world and engage in cooperative or competitive game matches.
Development
began soon after Grand Theft Auto IV's release and was shared between many of
Rockstar's studios worldwide. The development team drew influence from many of
their previous projects such as Red Dead Redemption and Max Payne 3, and
designed the game around three lead protagonists to innovate on the core
structure of its predecessors. Creating the open world constituted much of the
development work, and several team members conducted field research around
California to capture footage for the design team. The game's soundtrack
features an original score composed by a team of producers who collaborated
over several years.
A widely
anticipated game, Grand Theft Auto V broke industry sales records and became
the fastest-selling entertainment product in history, earning US $800 million
in its first day and US $1 billion in its first three days. It received
widespread critical acclaim, with praise directed at its multiple protagonist
design, open world, presentation and gameplay. The game caused controversies
related to its depiction of women and a mission featuring torture during a
hostage interrogation. Considered one of the most significant titles of the
seventh generation of console gaming, it won year-end accolades, including Gameof the Year awards from several gaming publications. It has shipped over 54
million copies and is one of the best-selling video games of all time.
