The BBC’s Grand Theft Auto Movie Was Bad

I had high hopes for the BBC’s Grand Theft Auto docudrama, The Gamechangers, which aired last night (and is now available on iPlayer to UK viewers). Here was the BBC spending what looks like quite a lot of money on a film about video games, and getting people who really knew about the games industry…

Rockstar’s Salty Response To The BBC’s GTA Movie

Oh shit. For those of you that don’t know: today, BBC Two launched the broadcast of The Gamechangers, a movie starring Daniel Radcliffe and and Bill Paxton that takes a look at the controversy surrounding Grand Theft Auto and violent video games in the early 2000’s. Sounds like a cool concept, no? Except Rockstar isn’t…

Because All GTA V Ever Needed Was More Skyrim

I mean, why wouldn’t a dragon ditch Skyrim for Los Santos. There’s way more stuff to blow up. This cute clip is by Pinkman. And no, I don’t know why the Dragonborn is wearing such a naff jacket either.

Grand Theft Auto V Delorean Travels Back In Time

This isn’t just any Delorean. It’s the Delorean from Back to the Future—time travel functionality included. The Back to the Future time circuits mod adds a script to Grand Theft Auto V that lets you prime a Delorean (a separate mod, which you can grab here) for actual, factual, fictional time travel. Check it out…

What Happens When GTA Online Players Band Together To Stop The Train

Ten brave GTA Online players line up with their favorite cars in a tunnel. A train looms in the distance. Can they stop it? Maybe not. But what happens in this clip by Redmar Belle instead is hilarious. Pure, sweet chaos. The very spirit of GTA, captured in a few seconds. Probably not surprising, given…

First Trailer For BBC’s Movie About The Battle Over GTA

Man, seeing Daniel Radcliffe with a beard sure is strange. What you’re seeing above is the first teaser for the upcoming BBC movie about the old-school GTA controversy back in the early 2000’s. Remember Jack Thompson and that entire thing about banning violent video games? Yeah. It’s about that. Daniel Radcliffe plays Sam Houser, whom…

GTA V Player Dodges The Law With Sick Sticky Bomb Stunts

This man elevates sticky grenades into a dang art form. GTA cops simply cannot stop salisburymistake, who has created a montage of high-speed-getaways that are the embodiment of “cool guys don’t look at explosions.” My favorite moments are the ones where salisburymistake skids past bodies that are flying midair, sometimes even knocking into them as…

Grand Theft Auto Would Make for a Cute Anime

Doraemon is one of Japan’s most beloved anime. Grand Theft Auto is a hugely popular video game series. Put them together, and you get this. This was created by an artist named En, who drew this series because Doreamon is his favorite cartoon and GTA is his favorite game. He did not specify which Grand…

Someone Made A Documentary About GTA V‘s Wildlife, And It’s Great

The creatures of GTA V all lead secret lives that we often never get to see while playing. They hunt. They eat. They try to survive. 8-BIT BASTARD and Chaney555 tap into all of that with their latest GTA documentary, “Onto The Land.” It’s an impressive 15 minute video that took 6 months to research…

The Pokémon Anime’s Intro In GTA V

God save all the regions of the Pokémon universe with Trevor in it as a trainer. Youtuber Merfish recreated the original 1997 anime’s opening with GTA V characters, and the only cute thing in it is Michael dressed up as Pikachu. There’s also a side-by-side comparison: To contact the author of this post, write to:…

GTA Player Bails At The Best Possible Moment

Holy shit. This feels like it could have come straight out of The Matrix or something. drekerrr brings us footage of a GTA eject so epic, it could easily be a stunt in a big-budget action movie: Not only does the passenger somehow avoid the missiles, he also gets to take revenge on the attacking…

GTA V‘s Security Cams Have Probably Seen Some Shit

Installed across all of Los Santos are a countless number of security cameras that quietly monitor everything that happens. And given that this is Grand Theft Auto, it’s pretty likely that they’re recording all sorts of wild things. Such is the premise of Abstract Mode’s new short, which gives us a security cam’s view of…

GTA Online Player Says Hi To 100 People, Is Murdered Almost Every Time

What happens when you try being friendly to fellow GTA Online players? Chaos, bloodshed, and rudeness, that’s what. Last month, ComedyKnife decided to perform an experiment within GTA Online. The plan was to greet 100 different GTA Online players, and to record what happens. Would they say hello back? Would they continue their GTA rampage?…

What happens when three friends decide to run an actual full-on marathon inside of GTA V? This video by Berdu, that’s what. Contact the author at [email protected]

Scooby-Doo Remade In GTA V

Chop, no! What have they done to you! Some other classic shows and their openings already have GTA V versions, made with the Rockstar Editor and Director Mode, and thanks to YouTuber btz now Scooby-Doo has one too. The whole gang’s in there but it’s Franklin’s friendly Rottweiler dog Chop’s time to shine: Here’s a…

Rockstar Games claims to have fixed the PC performance issues introduced in the Grand Theft Auto V’s most recent patch, and while it’s not doing anything to ban offline mods, it warned that mods could cause unexpected problems.

Parody Game NotGTAV Vanishes From Steam After Strange Copyright Claim

NotGTAV, which is not GTA V, was a hit when it released on Steam last week. Then it disappeared. The game is back now, a short-term victim of what seems to have been a bogus copyright claim. Here’s what we know: NotGTAV, the cheap, funny parody game that was donating money to charity, disappeared from…

The Opening of Fresh Prince In GTA V

All classic TV show intros deserve a GTA V version. And The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is the perfect candidate: We all watched the series back then (it’s still funny!) and it’s set in the same city as Grand Theft Auto V Will Smith is replaced by Franklin and we are in Rockford Hills in…

The Opening of Arthur In GTA V

The cute intro of the classic 90s cartoon Arthur is anything but cute when it’s recreated in GTA V’s environment. YouTuber Merfish’s work is more like a horrible nightmare with heads stuck into the roof and a giant Franklin stomping through San Andreas. Obviously not all of us remember the show’s opening, as it’s not…

Grand Theft Auto V is not $20 on Steam right now. Despite multiple misleading listings on GTA’s Steam franchise page (they’re for cash card bundles), it’s still at regular price. Suddenly last week’s GTA price shenanigans look less benign. [Update: The issue has been resolved. Valve says it was a “technical error.”] GTA V’s price…
