GTA 5
Grand
Theft Auto V is an open world, action-adventure video game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games. It was released on 17
September 2013 for the PlayStation
3 and Xbox 360. The game is the first main
entry in the Grand Theft Auto series since Grand Theft Auto IV was released in 2008. Set within the
fictional state of San Andreas, based on Southern California , the single-player story follows three criminals and
their efforts to perform a number of heists while under pressure from a
government agency. The open world design lets players freely roam San Andreas,
which includes open countryside and the fictional city of Los Santos ,
based on Los Angeles .
The
game is played from a third-person
perspective and its world is
navigated on-foot or by vehicle. Players control the three lead protagonists
throughout the single-player mode, switching between them both during and
outside of missions. The story is framed by the heist sequences, and many of
the missions have shooting and driving gameplay. The player character's criminal activities
may incite a response from law enforcement agencies, measured by a "wanted"
system that governs the aggression of their response. Grand Theft Auto Online, the online multiplayer mode, lets up to 16 players explore
the open world and engage in cooperative or competitive game matches.
Development began in 2009, soon after the release
of Grand Theft Auto IV. The
development team envisioned Grand
Theft Auto V as a spiritual
successor to many of their previous projects, such as Red Dead Redemption and Max
Payne 3. The game's use of three lead protagonists is a break from series
tradition—a design choice from the developers to innovate on the core structure
of its predecessors. As part of their research for the open world, the developers
conducted field research around California
throughout development and captured footage for the design team. Development
duties were shared between many of Rockstar's studios worldwide.
As
one of the last titles to be released for the seventh
generation of video game
consoles, Grand Theft Auto V was widely anticipated preceding its
release. At release, it was acclaimed by many reviewers, with praise
particularly directed at the multiple protagonist design and open-ended
gameplay. Critics were polarised by a scene depicting torture and the game's
treatment of women. Some labelled the game inherently violent and misogynistic. Grand Theft Auto V broke
industry sales records and became the fastest-selling entertainment product in
history, earning US$800 million in its first day and US$1 billion in its first
three days. It won year-end accolades, including Game of the Year awards from several gaming publications.
