It’s Probably Okay That GTA V Won’t Be This Photorealistic

Because otherwise it’d be a bit… goofy. We all are hoping that Grand Theft Auto V will get a graphical facelift from past games in the series. But I think that, after watching this silly (and quite well-done) video from Ty Green, we can all agree that it’s good that GTA V won’t be too…

The Poster for the First GTA Doesn’t Look Like Grand Theft Auto

Nowadays, we’re all used to the house style of the marketing art for Rockstar Games’ blockbuster open-world games: paneled mosaics with character likenesses and heavy black orders, with the game series’ name spelled out in the Price Is Right font.

Grand Theft Auto Meets The Simpsons

Hey. It’s artist Dan Luvisi again. Three times in one year? It’s worth it, because Grand Theft Otto – mashing the Simpsons and Vice City – is what it is. Awesome. It also reminds me of a dream game of mine, back in the day, where Rockstar and EA sat down, put Vice City and…
