The GTA series has produced some incredible and memorable missions in the past, but GTA V is absolutely chock full of them.
One moment you'll be rappelling out of a helicopter to extract a witness, the next you'll be sinking a boat and then using a submarine to search the wreckage. GTA V's missions are imaginative, bombastic, and most of all, fun. The timing works out well as you'll have weeks to dig into the solo player stuff before exploring the online world - something we're yet to see so can't comment on at this stage. It really helps flesh-out each character's motives and back story (however messed up that can be at times).Īlthough it's not available right now, there will also be multiplayer content in the future, expected in October 2013. When not in a storyline-based mission you can also move between the three characters and witness what each of them is doing in day-to-day life. When this play dynamic was first announced we weren't totally sold on whether it would work or not, but Rockstar North has delivered the sauce here and it works a treat. In missions, you can switch between these characters, which adds a level of strategic depth and replayability not seen before in a GTA game. These characters fit the traditional GTA mould, in as much as they're male criminals, but are all very different: Franklin is a young mechanic looking to make a fortune Michael is a retired thief living under witness protection and Trevor is, well, he's Trevor - a psychotic meth dealer living on a trailer park.Įach of the three characters are thoroughly compelling, thanks to great writing, voice acting and animation. The most interesting part of GTA V is its three character setup, because it really adds to the story and missions within the game. Grand Theft Auto V delivers an absolutely breathtaking interpretation of west coast America, but then again, we've come to expect such things from Rockstar North. The best Grand Theft Auto yet? We've been playing through the game for as many hours as we've been able to stay awake to find out. It’s certainly huge, but is GTA V as hugely impressive as many are expecting? It's the game that's so hyped we've more or less forgotten about next-gen for the time being.
Not only is it the biggest game in the series by quite some way, it also introduces three main characters to the game, rather than just the one. Either way you go, the game will still look great.GTA V brings the series back to the Southern California-inspired state of San Andreas, complete with the major city of Los Santos, which is modelled on LA. As for current-gen platform comparisons, Digital Foundry finds that the Playstation 4 version has more foliage than the Xbox One game. Take a look at the previous gen and current gen versions side-by-side, and you'll be amazed. But apart from that it's a big, beautiful open-world to experience. This version does suffer from some dropped frames from time to time. The lighting and weather effects are also closer to true life than ever before in a Grand Theft Auto game, with cars glistening in the sunlight or under the night lights of Los Santos. Generally it's as smooth and slick as anything else on the platform. Slightly disappointing is that its restricted to 30 fps, but honestly, I'm not so sure it matters. Graphically it's been given a heavy lick of paint for the new consoles, and it does make a difference.įaces are more detailed, grass is thicker, trees have more foliage, and of course, GTA V now runs at 1080p. GTA V isn't quite the full-blooded, next-gen Grand Theft Auto experience, but it's pretty damn close.
