5 Half-Crazy Things We Want In The New GTA V

With a souped-up re-release just round the corner, what's going to make you return to San Andreas?

Grand Theft Auto V set the bar for dynamic, open-world playgrounds. In case there was any question regarding Rockstar€™s mastery of the genre, GTA V remains one of the most vivid culminations of last generation€™s ideas, so much so that its quality retroactively trounces any release on the Xbox One and PS4 thus far.

The official blog post makes claims of a comprehensive graphical reboot that will "deliver a stunning new level of detail." Among these improvements, Rockstar specifies "new wildlife, upgraded weather and damage effects, and an array of new details," without defining the parameters of those details too clearly.

His profile picture features James as Serbian, vampire comic Dorde Mehailo with His anonymous Brother and Uncle at the Nerdmelt Showroom in West Hollywood. In James' spare time, he engages in acting, writing, athletics, hydration, hours of great pondering and generally wishing you'd like him.
