GTA V: the story so far

GTA V is the new grand theft auto game in the series. This an upcoming open world game that has been developed by rockstar north and published by rockstar games. It has been written by Dan Houser. It is due to come out around about spring 2013. This release date has changed several times but has been settled on as this. Rockstar have delayed it to make the game perfect when it is released. It is the follow up of the 2008 game GTA IV.

GTA have made fifteen games in total but in the main plot there have been four before this one. The first game GTA was made in 1997 and was created at the time by DMA design who have now become rockstar north and published by bmg interactive. The game in a nutshell was that you could go aroung a city and do what ever you wanted. It was available on playstation, windows and game boy colour. This was new ip at the time so it was a risk. It turned out to be a success and a second game was made GTA 2. GTA 2 was once again done by DMA design. This was made in 1999. This game was once again good and a third was made. It was platformed on palystation, windows and gameboy colour.  GTA III was made in 2001 and was also following the open world style of the other games. This franchise now was becoming well known and became a AAA blockbuster title. It was once again developed by DMA design but was the last to be devloped by them. This GTA however was published by Rockstar games. This is the company made by the Houser's. It was available on the playstation 2, platstation 3, windows, xbox, and an ios app for mobiles. GTA IV was released seven years after GTA III and is one of the most highest selling games of all time and has recieved many accolades.

There have been may spin off GTA titles like San Andreas, Liberty City, The Lost and Damned and Chinatown Wars. San Andreas was the biggest game as it broke many records and made GTA what it is today. This GTA is the GTA that most people like. San Andreas was made in 2004 for Playstation. Liberty City was made in 2005 for the playstation aswell. This is another add on to the story but wasn't as successful as San Andreas but it still made alot of money. These two games where made to fill in the otrher parts of the GTA story that the main ones didn't cover. The Lost and Damned is Dlc taht can be purchased as an add on to the GTA IV story. This is also the case for the Ballad of Gay Tony Dlc. Chinatown Wars is a totally GTA from the others. Where as all of the GTA's have been only playable for xbox and playstation users Chinatown Wars is only playable if you have a nintendo ds or 3ds. It is a GTA game but set in china.

GTA V is a third person person shooter that is going to be set in Los Santos. According to a statement made by rockstsr they believe this GTA will be the biggest GTA yet in terms of the open world. This news means that the game is highly anticipated and with new trailers and screenshots coming out every so often this keeps the audience interested in GTA for a long time even before it's come out.


Rockstar have released several screenshots and a trailer to this day but are going to release a new trailer on 14th november. This will give the audience new news about who are the main characters what weapons do you have and what is the main plot of the story. Recent screenshots though have shown people on speedboats, planes, cars,etc. The trailer gave us little clips of what is in the game but the cuts in frames meant that clips weren't on the screen long as it went on to another thing.
