11. Innovations
Rockstar in general are one of those developer/publishers that are so established in the marketplace that they can afford to take risks on innovation. And by god, thats why we love em. How about Dead Eye from Red Dead? A system that allowed you to take out 5 guys practically at once and watch them hit the ground together as if you were Clint Eastwood in A Fistful Of Dollars. Or the yes/no/maybe system that drove L.A Noire such a simple premise, its amazing it hadnt been done before. But it hadnt. The entire city-sandbox concept of GTA in itself was one of Rockstars early innovations although its been duplicated and bastardised so many times by inferior companies that itd be quite easy to forget that. So what innovations can we expect from GTA V? Well, were not exactly sure yet Rockstar are firmly adhering to the loose lips sink ships policy - but you can bet youre ill-gotten bottom dollar that were as excited as Roman is about American titties to find out. Whether its in gameplay mechanics, in technology or even in story (remember the finale of Red Dead Redemption? It might just be the most innovative video game ending Ive ever witnessed), you can be all but certain that Rockstar are looking for new and exciting ways to make GTA V a palpable improvement on it's predecessor.
