GAMED 7

Hello ladies and gents today we are talking about another massive game series that will probably wont throw a new game at us for a couple years ironically mainly because of the great usership online that its transformed into a main game for any gamer in my humble opinion. It goes with all the other greats that everyone has your FIFAs your CODs etc ofcourse im talking about...

GRAND THEFT AUTO


Lets learn a little about the history of these games.

Grand Theft Auto (GTA) is an action-adventure video game series created by David Jones and Mike Dailly; the later titles of which were created by brothers Dan and Sam Houser, Leslie Benzies and Aaron Garbut. It is primarily developed by Rockstar North (formerly DMA Design), and published by Rockstar Games. The name of the series references the term used in the US for motor vehicle theft.

Most games in the series are set in fictional locales modelled on cities, usually either Liberty City, Vice City or San Andreas, which are stand-ins for New York City, Miami and the state of California, respectively. The first game encompassed three fictional cities, while subsequent titles tend to emphasise a single setting. Gameplay focuses on an open world where the player can choose missions to progress an overall story, as well as engaging in side activities, all consisting of action-adventure, driving, third-person shooting, occasional role-playing, stealth and racing elements.

 The series focuses around many different protagonists who attempt to rise through the ranks of the criminal underworld, although their motives for doing so vary in each game. The series also has elements of the earlier beat 'em up games from the 16-bit era. The antagonists are commonly characters who have betrayed the protagonist or his organisation, or characters who have the most impact impeding the protagonist's progress.

Film and music veterans have voiced characters, including Ray Liotta, Burt Reynolds, Dennis Hopper, Samuel L. Jackson, James Woods, Debbie Harry, Phil Collins, Axl Rose and Peter Fonda. With its British origin, the series contains satire and humour.

British video game developer DMA Design began the series in 1997. As of 2014, it has eleven stand-alone games and four expansion packs. The third chronological title, Grand Theft Auto III, is considered a landmark title, as it brought the series to a 3D setting and more immersive experience.

In my humble opionopn this games has a mostly positive public presence and i dont think we will see a Gta 6 any time soon because of hm the online market has exploded i think that this game changed what a sandbox is and not many games have something that wasnt used in this game i swear its the mecca of gaming according to my other gaming experts. But like all games it has its controversy the whole argument about how violent games make kids more violent which i believe its a factor but not the whole story . I think its a combination of Games , Television and our general selves.

I hoped you liked this Post and as always have a chilled day from the Viking.
