We are just two weeks away from arguably one of the biggest video game launches in the mediums history with GTA V, Rockstars latest foray into their renowned crime saga. The hype is in full force as Rockstar has recently granted IGN an extensive
hands-on look at the game that was allowed to be detailed on the site. As someone who has read the entire whopping four pages, it is very wordy and detailed, which is a good thing, but for those that just want the gist and some revealing content, stay here. There are lots of interesting new tantalising tidbits to take from the five detailed missions that have personally kicked my hype into total overdrive. If you thought you couldnt get more hyped for this hulking behemoth of a pending masterpiece, prepare to be proven wrong. This is also a spoiler-free article so have no worries on that front.
9. Insane Attention To Detail
Graphically, it was always unanimously obvious that GTA V would tear the house down and put most modern console games to shame, but I dont think anyone expected the level of detail in the game that is present (to the extent that some have speculated that we're being shown a PC version at the moment). In contrast to the dark and bleak atmosphere of GTA IV, GTA V offers a sunny and vibrant visual style with light reflecting off of cars and more. Neon signs buzz during the loneliness of the night and civilians will flip you the bird and speed off as you try and carjack them. Rockstar states that there are over 1,000 unique animations and that most gamers likely wont even see them all in one playthrough.
