'GTA V' Employs Real Life Gangsters; New Screenshots Reveale…

From open-world crime operas to open-range spaghetti westerns, from substance abusing detectives to detectives who draw a self-righteous line at adultery, Rockstar Games's reputation precedes it. Where most game companies would be content with one triple-A franchise, Rockstar has cultivated several over its 14-year history - Grand Theft Auto , Red Dead Redemption , Max Payne , and L.A. Noire among the present, and Agent waiting patiently for the c

Offering four games in one box on what has to several discs, Rockstar Games Collection: Edition 1 has been announced for the cost of $59.99 - the orthodox price point for one game. Bundled into the package is L.A. Noire (2010); Red Dead Redemption (2009); Midnight Club: Los Angeles - Complete Edition (the tricked-out version of 2008's MC:LA ); and Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City ( GTA 5 missions|https://gta5play.com/ IV's DLC compilation of The Lost and the Damned and The Ballad of Gay Ton

Keen-eyed gamers may remember it from its most recent iteration as the car you drive when you chase the back-stabbing garbageman Luca Silvestri to his death in GTA IV and as the car Lenny Petrovic is driving before you riddle him with bullets. They also may remember it as the car you can sell for a measly $800 in scrap metal in GTA Chinatown Wa

Murder Mystery - As Michael, follow a trail of cryptic clues to unravel a grisly murder mystery. Put the clues together and you'll unlock two Noir Style Filters, which will give your Story Mode gameplay and Snapmatic photos the feel of a gritty old school crime clas

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

Shifting the game's hype train into high gear, developer Rockstar has been hard at work filling in our news feeds as of late, touting everything from radio station teases , to brand-new trailers and even a recreation of the GTA III Banshee sportscar . Now, the studio behind the mammoth sandbox franchise is sitting down to discuss the game's unusually sourced voice w

As sterling as the contents of the collection may be, however (we're already anxious to see Edition 2 ), there's no confusing Rockstar's real focus for the rest of 2012 and into 2013: Grand Theft Auto V . As one retailer listed the Rockstar Collection, another, GameStop , saw fit to list its release date as March 1, 2

In other Grand Theft Auto V news, 10 new screenshots have been released online, (credit: NeoGaf user Sn4ke_911 ) showcasing the game's protagonists as they undertake assorted gangland tasks. One unusual screenshot appears to hint at the possibility of an underwater co-op level, with Trevor piloting a deep-sea one-man submarine in pursuit of either Michael or Franklin. Could gamers be in for a modern day take on a sunken-treasure qu

Surprisingly, the date only lasted long enough to grab headlines, as its original listing on the Gamestop UK storefront has now been supplanted with a TBC (To Be Confirmed). March 1 is a safe bet, though, considering the game's unbreaking silence heading into this Fall. Sure, low-key seems to be Rockstar's traditional modus operandi ; but a smattering of GTA V screenshots this August following an announcement trailer last November doesn't quite fit the billing for "Holiday 20

Aside from BioShock Infinite , we know Rockstar parent company Take-Two Interactive is looking for major revenue booster in 2013, and with Game Informer teasing Grand Theft Auto V as their December cover just hours ago, it might not be long before a return to Los Santos finds its way onto corporate and consumer calendars al

Until GTA 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

Players jumping to the Xbox One, PS4 and PC versions of Grand Theft Auto V will have a little more to do in-game than the last-gen versions, a bonus for anyone returning to Los Santos. The purpose of this new content, as Rockstar puts it, is to give returning players a way to "experience the game's massive world in new and exciting ways." Although, with the existence of GTA Online and the potential still contained within, new ways to play the game aren't that hard to achieve alre

So perhaps that's the reason, as Grand Theft Auto V , secretly but steadily, hurdles towards its release, the company has gone into retrospect mode, announcing the first installment in a series of Rockstar Games compilati
