All Articles: Grand Theft Auto V

Oh. My. God. The ESRB has released the “Rating Summary” for Grand Theft Auto V and it’s… it’s a little crazy.

Naturally, the game has been rated Mature for “Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Mature Humor, Nudity, Strong Language, Strong Sexual Content, and Use of Drugs and Alcohol.” But its the ESRB’s in-depth analysis of the game’s content that really drives home just how insane GTA5 is. The game will include copious amounts of nudity (including naked cultists), enough swearing to make the Goodfellas blush, a little drug use, enough violence to make Quentin Tarantino blush, and… just for fun… some necrophilia.

You can read the whole sordid thing after the break. (more…)

Xbox360Achievements has done their thing again and discovered the complete list of Achievements for Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto V. The game will include a total of 49 Achievements, though 11 are currently hidden behind the Secret Achievement text. Of the 38 remaining Achievements, 17 can only be earned through the game’s online mode, Grand Theft Auto Online.

Looking over the list, few of the Achievements seem to be story-based. Instead, Rockstar has given us a quick glimpse at what life in Los Santos will be like for Michael, Franklin, and Trevor. You can live the American dream by joining a cult, investing in the stock market, hunting sharks, becoming a bounty hunter, or exploring the San Andreas countryside outside Los Santos. You can channel your inner Fox Mulder and seek missing spaceship parts and return them to their extraterrestrial owners. You can even buy car insurance. Truly, the world of Grand Theft Auto V is just like our own.

Presumably the Trophies in the PS3 version will be the same as their Xbox 360 counterparts. You can see the complete list of Grand Theft Auto V’s Achievements after the break. (more…)

Rockstar Games has revealed Grand Theft Auto V‘s multiplayer component in a new video and they hope that the online mode, known as Grand Theft Auto Online, will capture “the heart of the Grand Theft Auto experience.”

Grand Theft Auto Online takes place in a “persistent and continually expanding world.” The multiplayer mode will also include “an array of structured and unsctructured activities” such as arm wrestling and motorcycle cliffjumping. Rockstar plans to develop a ton of post-release content for Grand Theft Auto Online, but players will be able to create their own using an in-game editor.

The entire thing looks ridiculously huge. And we’ll find out exactly how big it is on October 1, when Grand Theft Auto Online goes live for all PS3 and Xbox 360 owners of Grand Theft Auto V.

As promised, Rockstar has released the first gameplay video for Grand Theft Auto V this morning. Everyone already knows all about the three playable characters and Southern California-inspired environments of Los Santos, so you should have no trouble diving right in to “An Introduction to the World of Grand Theft Auto V.” And stay tuned for a first look at the game’s multiplayer component, Grand Theft Auto Online. Rockstar has revealed that we’ll get a closer look at that soon/

Grand Theft Auto V will be released exclusively for the PS3 and Xbox 360 on September 17.
