Now, Rockstar Games has wowed everyone by pulling off a complete 180.
]]>Apparently the bits of litter you can find blowing down streets and being pulled along by cars in GTA 3 were a bit of a controversial topic back in the day.

]]>If you’ve played GTA San Andreas, odds are you’ve probably run into a mysterious character with a very sharp haircut and a denim jacket at some point.

]]>Psst, remember the mirrors in GTA San Andreas? Like a lot of things in retro GTA games, they can be pretty quirky in a number of glitchy ways, and, thanks to one of the developers who worked on the game, we now know exactly why.
]]>Why does the moon in GTA 3 change size whenever you shoot it with a sniper rifle? It’s a question that’s been haunting all of us for a long time now. Well, Thanks to one of the developers who worked on the game, we now know the answer.
]]>GTA 6 maker Rockstar is again accused of using someone's likeness in its games without permission.
]]>GTA developer Rockstar once had a go at making a zombie survival game set in Scotland using Vice City’s code, but quickly gave up because people found it too depressing a concept to keep working on.

]]>Red Dead Redemption 2, one of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful video games of all time, is reportedly getting a next-gen upgrade, according to leaked documents from Microsoft.

]]>Like many, my first thought upon seeing the GTA 6 leak was ‘f**k’. The second was a flashback to the protocols which had occurred when leaks or security breaches, no matter how minor, had happened when I was on the development side of the industry: usually, angry-faced men bursting into a room and demanding nobody touch anything. The third thought was what Rockstar, the king of image control and information flow, would do now. My mind ran to that sequence from The Bourne Identity, where an embattled CIA station chief demands the agency ‘get everybody up’. Everybody, in this instance, being a set of assassins, each with cool names and even colder intentions.
]]>Following the gigantic GTA 6 leak last weekend, several developers have come forward in solidarity with Rockstar against misinformed claims that graphics are among the first aspects of a game finished during game development. How have they done so? By posting images and footage of their own early builds, and the basic and often-hilariously patched together early assets.

This includes limited discounts, bonuses to specific mission types, and free vehicles for you to fight over.

This includes limited discounts, bonuses to specific mission types, and free vehicles for you to fight over.
]]>Mike Dailly, one of the founding members of the studio that created Grand Theft Auto, seems to have had some prototype videos of the original game taken down by Rockstar.

Created and presented on YouTube by Teaserplay, we get plenty of character, environment, and conversational shots in the new engine.
]]>With the release of the GTA Online Criminal Enterprises Update in GTA Online, two new weapons have been added to the game that can help bolster up your arsenal: The Precision Rifle and the rumoured M16 Service Carbine. For those out there who want to cause havoc from a distance, the Precision Rifle is a must have weapon.
]]>We’ve made it to the final stage in the Operation Paper trail, the mission chain added with the GTA Online Criminal Enterprises Update. This has you cleaning up loose ends back in a nefarious AI-ridden silo that has been out of power for a while now. Surely nothing can go wrong, right?
]]>Operation Paperclip is the namesake of the mission chain added to GTA Online with the GTA Online Criminal Enterprises Update, and it’s an action packed climax point to the whole ordeal.

]]>The GTA Online Summer update is lining up to the biggest content patch we’ve seen come to the game in some time.

As such. the bonuses and special rewards you'd expect to come with this week's GTA Online weekly update are largely the same as what we saw last week.
]]>At the 20th anniversary screening of classic Tom Sizemore flick Heat, Al Pacino revealed that his character moved and spoke in that way because detective Vincent Hanna “chips cocaine” habitually. Perhaps pressured over the edge by the demands of the job, the once idealistic Serpico-type resorts to the Bolivian marching powder to fuel his crime-fighting. So that’s why his eyeballs appeared so determined to burst free from his skull. It’s an enlightening bit of movie trivia that sheds new light on one of Pacino’s – if not cinema’s – most memorable performances.
]]>July 14 is a strange week in GTA Online. With some new DLC content coming to the online sandbox and crime enterpirse simulator in the very near future, the bonuses and special rewards you'd expect to come with this week's GTA Online weekly update are largely the same as what we saw on July 7.
