GTA V PC Runs Pretty Well In Ultra HD, If You’ve Got The Hardware

Having played Grand Theft Auto V on the Xbox 360 and again on the Xbox One, I didn;t grab a copy of the PC version for the story or the multiplayer—I got it for those sweet 3840 x 2160 ultra HD graphics. So far I’m very pleased. After Rockstar released the first set of 4K…

The GTA Ghost That Became An Obsession

I don’t remember how I came across the clip. Maybe someone sent it to me. Maybe I had opened it earlier in the day, while looking for something else. It was just… there, in the middle of a sea of other browser tabs. “GHOST CAUGHT IN GTA,” the title promised. Of course I watched it.…

The GTA Players Who Push Cars To Their Limit

Last weekend, over a dozen players met up in GTA Online. They were all in decked out in trucks, jeeps, and other rugged four-wheel vehicles. They had one goal in mind: to cross the entirety of the Los Santos wilderness—rivers, mountains, forests and all. The rules were simple. The players would go on a cruise…

The Good (And Bad) Of GTA V‘s Extraordinary New Online Heists

I peer through my night vision goggles. The hall ahead seems clear. “Evan, you good?” Standing to my left, my partner indicates he is. “Let’s move up.” Just then, the building shakes from an explosion. Our support team in the helicopter above must be keeping the guards outside occupied. “Air team, you guys doing okay?”…

GTA Players Beat All of The Heists Without Ever Dying

GTA Online’s “Heists” update has a special challenge that most players will find impossible to pull off. Called the “Mastermind Challenge,” the task requires players to complete every heist in order, with the same team members, on hard, with no deaths. At all. No pressure! This weekend, the challenge was completed for the first time…

Someone Actually Tried Testing Out If GTA V Cops Are ‘Racist’

Back when Grand Theft Auto V was originally released, one particular theory about race started floating around. According to some players, the cops in GTA didn’t treat all of its protagonists the same. Some players thought that Franklin, the African-American character, got racially profiled by cops. This belief became widespread among some players largely because…

Not Exactly the Grand Theft Auto TV Show You Want

Today, the BBC put out a press release stating that it was making “a new BBC Two drama based on Grand Theft Auto.” Make that, a poorly worded press release. Because this isn’t the GTA drama you’re hoping for. That being said, it still sounds promising. In the original statement, details about the show are…

GTA Online Heists Bring About Server Issues [Update]

As has become par for the course with this sort of thing, the much-anticipated launch of GTA Online‘s multiplayer heists has resulted in some woeful server troubles.

GTA IV‘s Story Is Better Than GTA V‘s

The Grand Theft Auto series is the ultimate commentary on modern America. Greed, lust, money, and crime are wrapped together into a Las Vegas buffet of a game that is entertaining, insightful, and overwhelming in its sheer variety. What fascinates me most is the way GTA represents the tempo of modern culture better than almost…

It Ain’t Easy Being A GTA Superhero

The stuff we see in superhero movies is usually the action, or things relevant to the story. What about everything that happens in-between those moments? What is that stuff like? One GTA machinima series finds out. Here’s the story of Commandoflauge‘s “Pigman,” a superhero in GTA that has it tough. He’s not that fit, for…

Remember, GTA V NPCs Are People Too

It can be easy to forget when you spend most of your time treating them as obstacles and target practice, but the NPCs of Grand Theft Auto V are people too. They’ve got their own lives to live, their own conversations to have, their own problems to solve. This great video by Incredible91852 and FishyDizzle…

GTA V’s Car Crashes Are Almost Too Realistic

I’ve always gone looking for trouble in GTA games. When Grand Theft Auto III first came out, my friends and I would get together and take turns going on rampages—competing to see who could survive the longest against the cops. With the new version of GTA V out, I’ve found another way to test myself:…

How People Actually Play Grand Theft Auto V

Rockstar always tries to sell its Grand Theft Auto games with fancy trailers. Moody music, social commentary, beautiful sunsets. The thing is, that’s not how anybody actually plays Grand Theft Auto. They usually play it like this. With lots of car crashes. And senseless violence. And…axes to the butt? This fantastic video was put together…

GTA V’s Los Santos vs The Real Los Angeles

Los Santos in Grand Theft Auto V may be a caricature of Los Angeles, but that doesn’t make it complete fiction. Like the bestcaricatures, it shares its foundations with the real thing, as you’ll see in these imageswhich compare certain landmarks in the game with their LA counterparts. Sure, some of the scenery around them…
