The upcoming PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Grand Theft Auto V won't just include new content for new and returning players to dig into. While that, combined with the improved visuals and bigger multiplayer were probably enough to entice many to make the return trip, Rockstar has implemented an entirely new feature for the upcoming version, which is sure to push people over the edge into "well, I guess I really need to get this again" territ

Until GTA 5 secrets|https://gta5play.com/ V releases, our best look at the new first-person mode will come from the new trailer showing it off. Needless to say (but here goes) it's very impressive. Has this new feature made the game a guaranteed purchase for some of you? How about heists in first-per

The studio's reluctance to pursue big name actors likely has as much to do with outrageous wage demands and ego trips as it does with authenticity. Tommy Vercetti's Ray Liotta reportedly made life difficult during his tenure in the recording booth for GTA Vice City , veering between Goodfella s-like excellence and other less-than-stellar cond

I completely agree with Houser's stance and wish more people in both the games industry and the animated film industry would understand this point. For years now, we have witnessed Hollywood lean on famous voice talent in order to more effectively market expensive animated films - a strategy which has been adopted by the games industry; Quantic Dream's Beyond: Two Souls , which stars Ellen Page of Juno and Inception fame, being one of the most current examples of this.

Michael is a former bank robber who is retired. Now in his early 40s, Michael is currently in the witness protection program thanks to a deal with the FIB. He owns an expensive property complete with a private tennis court and pool but shares the house with a wife who seems to do nothing but fritter his money away; his plummeting bank balance is a major influence in his decision to return to a life of crime. He also has two teenage children named Tracy and Jimmy.

Would the addition of a new perspective actually change how you play Grand Theft Auto V or is it just a gimmick? According to IGN who previewed the new mode, it's a change that not only offers a new way to play, but a new way to see and interactive with every part of the world. Take a simple walk down the sidewalk, and you may now notice the subtle reactions the NPC make as you walk by. Supposedly, little details like characters glancing at you have always been in the game, but it becomes far more noticeable in first-person m

Franklin is the youngest of the three protagonists, currently in his mid 20s. He is a young ambitious hustler who works as a repo man for an Armenian luxury car dealership. He crosses paths with Michael when looking for a hustle.

"we go towards authenticity […] In the game there's these rival gangs. There's Black gangs, Latino gangs ... we recruited a guy who gets gang members, actual real gang members, like El Salvadoran gang dudes with amazing tattoos, one of which had literally gotten out of prison the day befo

Making sure the three protagonists continue to feel unique was another point of concern for Rockstar. In third-person, where you're looking down at them, you can clearly see who you're playing as and what's going on around them but that's not as easy to replicate in first-person. So the studio adjusted the animations to fit the new mode: Franklin, Michael and Trevor all have their own idle animations (and probably different hand models), and if a character is speaking to you when you look over at them, you'll see they're looking back at you, making eye-cont

All three of GTA V's protagonists will also be able engage in several side activities. However, Rockstar wanted to give Michael, Trevor and Franklin certain unique hobbies, exclusive to them. What those specific hobbies are remains a mystery but Rockstar did mention that activities such as yoga, Jet Skiing, tennis, triathlons, base-jumping and golf will feature in the game. Rockstar also said that the core gameplay mechanics found in GTA V , such as driving, shooting and melee combat have largely been rebuilt from the ground up.

Following its dominance for overall game sales in 2015, Call of Duty: Black Ops III once again took the crown for the top game sales of January 2016 with Xbox One as its top selling platform, while several regulars like Grand Theft Auto V , Minecraft , and the EA Sports franchises all took a place on the cha

The one segment that The NPD Group noted growth in were the sales of peripherals including NFC figurines, such as Nintendo's amiibo line and those for other titles like Skylanders and Disney Infinity . Growth for that market saw a 15% increase to $235.5 million in 2016, up from $206 million in 2
